Once permits are approved, our field crews execute the new sewer installation with efficiency and code compliance you can rely on. Every step follows strict DEP and DOT protocols to protect your investment and the municipal sewer network.
Excavation begins at the street connection where we drill into the city’s existing sewer main. This method creates a secure junction channel that conveys wastewater from your building to the municipal system. Trenching proceeds along the planned route with a proper slope to ensure gravity flow. Pipe sections are positioned, joined and pressure-tested before backfill.
The sewer line enters your building through the basement foundation and connects to your internal plumbing. For combined systems, we install dedicated lines according to specifications. Our new construction water main services run parallel to sewer work on most projects. Curb valves and cleanout access points are placed at designated intervals.
Our experienced team is part of the city’s most reliable new construction plumbing companies, well-versed in every phase of residential new construction plumbing projects.
New building sewer service in New York City demands expertise. Property owners are typically responsible for all piping from the building foundation to the street main, making proper installation critical.
DEP and DOB approvals may involve a House Connection Proposal or Site Connection Proposal, a sewer connection permit submitted by a licensed master plumber, and required inspection documentation, including sewer as-built diagrams. DOB must review all construction drawings before work begins. DOT issues street opening permits authorizing excavation. Our legacy of regulatory knowledge helps to reduce the risk of project delays and compliance concerns.
