Sewer Line Repair in New York

Of the 4,931,173 occupied homes we cover in New York, about 4,808,526 sit in towns whose typical home predates 1980 — laid before solvent-welded plastic became the default. We route calls in 364 towns here.

In short

Pre-1980 housing means clay, bituminized fiber or cast iron under the garden rather than plastic, and in New York that describes about 4,808,526 of the 4,931,173 covered homes. Only a camera survey settles which of the three is actually there.

TrenchPoint is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands. Every state page sets out who licenses plumbers there and where to check, so you can confirm before work begins. We do not perform excavation or repair, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.

Checking a credential in New York

New York issues no state plumbing license. New York City licenses Master and Journeyman Plumbers through the Department of Buildings; elsewhere in the state it is your own city, town or county. Start here. Ask the contractor which municipality licenses them and confirm it with that office before work begins.

Before anybody excavates.A camera survey is a different instruction from a repair, and the order matters. Tell us what the drain is doing and we will route you to somebody who covers your area. No charge to you, ever. Anything else the plumbing is doing can be raised on that call too.
