Your sewer lateral is s critical underground utilities on your property. Proper installation prevents future blockages, leaks and costly repairs. We install gravity and pressure sewer systems to the highest standards to build a connection that lasts.
Herr installs sewer and water lines for:
We are equipped and experienced to handle your project safely and efficiently, whether a municipal connection is already at the property line or a road opening and tap into the main is required.
The type of sewer connection depends on the depth of the municipal sewer main.
When the municipal sewer is deep enough, wastewater flows naturally downhill from your home to the sewer main. In most cases, the sewer pipe exits beneath the basement floor and requires no pumps or mechanical equipment.
If the municipal sewer main is pressure, the installation of a grinder pump would be required to connect your home or building to the sewer. Herr can bid on and install the complete system including the grinder pump.
Older sewer laterals used clay, cast iron or concrete pipe. The joints between these materials can separate over time, allowing tree roots to enter the pipe and create blockages.
New PVC sewer pipes offer a durable, watertight connection resistant to leaks and root intrusion.
