toggle menu Fast, Prompt & Reliable Sewer Line Replacement Master Plumbers Providing Quality Service to Maine For Over 40 Years FREE ESTIMATE CALL FOR SERVICE Sewer Line Replacement When your sewer line needs to be replaced, there are two ways we can do it: Traditional Sewer Line Replacement The first is the traditional way, which means excavating the old pipe and laying a new pipe in the trench. Then, we connect the new pipe to the city’s mainline or your septic tank and the internal plumbing. After testing everything, we backfill the trench and do a rough grading of the area. Pipe Bursting Technology The second way we can replace a sewer pipe is by a system called “pipe bursting.” Rather than dig up the entire sewer line, we only dig two holes, one at each end where the new pipe will be connected. Then, using a special winch with a “bursting head” on it, we can pull a new sewer line through the existing compromised line. This method is preferred where driveways, gardens, decks, or other objects could make excavating the line a less desirable option. Our experienced estimators can help you understand which option makes the most sense in your specific situation. Call now for a free consultation.

High Praise From Our Clients I tried several plumbing companies in the Bangor and Brewer area. I found Nichols Plumbing and Heating is the best. I definitely will give them a call again if I run into any other heating and plumbing problems. - Luke T. This spring, we experienced sewer problems. Being an elderly couple in our 80’s, we had no clue what to do! We found a list of local city approved companies, one of which was Nichols Plumbing and Heating. We would recommend this company to everyone that requires their services. Five Stars! - Carol K. Nichols Plumbing just installed two toilets for us. Chad, the plumber, was great. Personable and eager to please. He was so careful not to make a mess and cleaned up everything. He would have washed the floor if I had asked. - Necia Y. Absolutely amazing service. I was in a bind with worsening leaking in the basement pipes. My husband was still not home for another week. I had a terrible phone call with another local plumber and felt worried and defeated. - Lindsay H. Steve did everything he could think of to get that line open short of standing on his head! He left defeated, and my next option was expensive excavation. Steve was helping me coordinate that as well- really going above and beyond. - Cheryl A.
