Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in New York City
When sewage backs up at the lowest fixture in a building, the problem is usually the sewer lateral, not the fixture. Old clay and cast-iron lines under New York City sidewalks crack, sag and fill with roots. CRP Plumbing and Heating repairs and replaces sewer lines for homes and buildings across the city, including permit and inspection coordination.
