Sewer issues
Can anyone recommend a company that will replace my main sewer line from the house to the main street connection? I was hoping the issue was only a tree root, but it seems to be a dislodged or broken line and the price quotes are coming in very high so far.

Did you have a camera inspection of the line to determine where the break is? We had an issue about two years ago with our line. We called Econo Sewer to do the video inspection (he is located in Marine Park). He is very reasonable and honest.
We had a "liner" put through our sewer line. It's a new technology that's been out a few years. We used a company called Root Tech in Ozone Park Queens to do the liner. We had a small break that was close to the house that was allowing sewer fumes to come into the house. They did a decent job on the project. There are a few other companies that do the trenchless liner as well. It's about $125 a foot to do a trenchless liner.
It's really expensive to dig up the sewer line and replace it if you have to go that way. Could be close to 15K or more depending on how much has to be replaced.
