Sewer Line
We need to replace the sewer line from our house to the main sewer line in the street. Only company I know of that does this type of work is All Boro, hoping there might be some other recommendations out there and any guidance on what this type of work costs. From what we've been told about $10,000+. Thanks in advance.

We used Alex Figliolia and it was nightmarish. Multiple crews, non-existent coordination, endless phone calls and poor customer service. They charged us $16k from the house to the middle of the street. Never again. Kingsway was another bidder and the one we should have gone with.

Alex is in jail, unless they let him out...

We had the same problem and used a company (can't remember the name) on Atlantic Avenue near Pennsylvania Avenue. Sorry.... I hope this helps. BTW, they charged us $5400

We used Alex Figliolia about 12 years ago. IIRC we were quoted a price of $10k to replace the entire line or $4k, for a partial repair to the segment that was damaged. We went for the cheaper price and have had no problems since [other than having RotoRooter clear out the roots from the big maple in front of our house a few times.
Figliolia's work was fine, but I can't speak to what might have happened to the company in subsequent years. FWIW they also replacedour old lead water main about 15 years ago.
