FAQs

• Traditional Sewer Line Replacement

  Plumbers use traditional sewer line replacement to dig up around pipes, remove them, and replace cracked or damaged pipes. Although replacing pipelines will destroy the excavated area, some sewer line issues can only be fixed by using this method.

  Traditional sewer line replacement allows Heritage to be thorough as we evaluate the work done after replacing your pipes. As a result, we can ensure everything is in the right place and won’t break down the line.
