If something goes wrong with this pipe, such as a break or blockage, is it the responsibility of the utility company or the homeowner to have the pipe repaired or replaced?<\/p>\n<p>The answer is: <em>the homeowner<\/em>. From the point where the sewer line exits the home to where it crosses under the property line is the responsibility of the homeowner. However, this isn\u2019t as huge a burden as it sounds.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h3>Professional Sewer Line Repairs and Replacements<\/h3>\n<p>Although repair and replacement work for your home\u2019s sewer line may fall to you, that doesn\u2019t mean that <em>you<\/em> have to do the work! In fact, unless you\u2019re a professional plumber with the right equipment, there isn\u2019t any way for you to do these jobs. You simply have to <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\">leave it in the hands (and tools) of licensed plumbers<\/a> with the <a href=\"\/drain-sewer\/sewer-lines\" target=\"_blank\">experience and training for sewer line work<\/a>. You may be surprised at how smoothly the work can go to repair or replace a sewer line.<\/p>\n<h3>Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement and Repairs<\/h3>\n<p>One of the reasons that you should contact us when you have a sewer line repair\/replacement job is that we use trenchless technology, and that\u2019s not something you\u2019ll find at every plumbing contractor.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/drain-sewer\/trenchless-technology\" target=\"_blank\">What does <em>trenchless technology<\/em> mean?<\/a> It\u2019s a way to repair or replace a sewer line without requiring excavation equipment that digs open a large trench across the property from the house all the way to the sidewalk. Our plumbers use equipment that does the work laterally, moving in from the two ends of the pipe with pipe reliners that seal up leaks, or if necessary, expand to replace the entire pipe. It takes only a fraction of the time compared to standard excavation techniques, and it leaves the property looking as good as it did before.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Ken Neyer Plumbing, Inc. serves the Greater <\/strong><strong>Cincinnati, OH Area with superb plumbing.
