What Happens During a plumbing Estimate
When you contact us for a sewer service quote, our team will ask you some questions to get a better idea of the problems you’re experiencing. Some of the questions we’ll ask initially include:
•Do you have any plumbing fixtures on a lower level, like a laundry basin, a floor drain, or a bathroom? If so, are any of these fixtures clogged?
•Does the backup get worse when you run other plumbing fixtures?
•Does the backup have a foul odor or a sewage smell?
•Has this ever happened before? If so, when and what happened last time?
If we think you have a main drain clog, we’ll schedule your service as an emergency, and we’ll dispatch the next available technician ASAP.
Plumbing Estimates
The next phase of the estimate process will be at your home, where our sewer specialist will perform a camera inspection to verify the location of the sewer line and its defects. Then, we’ll:
•Explain what we’ve found: We want you to know exactly what’s going on so you can make an informed decision.
•Present options for sewer line repair or replacement: We’ll also explain whether trench-less sewer line replacement is an option.
•Give you clear, accurate pricing for each option: At Len The Plumber, the price we quote you is the price you’ll pay—always. Our training, experience, and thorough inspection process ensure pricing accuracy. In rare situations when there are unknown variables (like the depth beyond a collapsed pipe), we’ll explain that in advance, before any work starts.
Gather all the information necessary to provide the sewer line service: This helps us properly plan for and efficiently carry out the sewer line repair or sewer line replacement service.
The at-home process can take about one to three hours, depending on access issues and the complexity of the sewer system.
Questions you Should Ask When Getting a Estimate
To make sure you choose the right plumber for the job, ask these questions during the quote process:
•Are you licensed and will you pull a permit?
•Will the on-site plumber be licensed?
•Do you use subcontractors? If so, are they background checked?
•Are you properly insured?
•Are you OSHA-certified?
•How many sewer repair or replacements do you perform per month and year?
•Will the price increase for any reason after you start the job?
•What is your warranty?
•Did you perform a camera inspection to verify the location and scope of the project?
