Harris Water Main & Sewer Contractors is a leading water main contractor in Queens, performing outdoor water main and sewer line work for local properties.
Our fourth-generation team has handled subsurface infrastructure across the borough since 1918.
We provide outdoor infrastructure work, including:
We excavate under DEP standards and perform repairs from the property connection to the city main. Work includes corroded pipe replacement, pressure failure correction, connection repairs and leak isolation. We coordinate water shutoffs with DEP and restore service after repairs pass inspection.
We handle complete sewer line replacement from the building exit to the city main. This includes excavation, removal of old pipes, installation of new pipes with approved materials, backfill and compaction, and coordination with DEP inspectors throughout the process. We work on collapsed lines, root-damaged pipes and corroded systems requiring full replacement.
Our crews work 24/7 for water main breaks and sewer failures. We perform emergency water main repairs and coordinate DEP emergency permits. We arrive with excavation equipment, isolation tools and repair materials. Emergency sewer repairs receive the same response protocol.
We install water main and sewer line systems for new construction and property additions. This includes depth calculations per code requirements, excavation, pipe installation, proper backfill and compaction, pressure testing and connection certification. We work with general contractors and property owners on project scheduling.
We handle Highway Work Permit applications, traffic control plan submissions, utility conflict notifications and inspection scheduling for excavations under public right-of-way. We coordinate with the DOT for street-opening permits and with DEP for connection approvals.
Attempting DIY fixes or hiring unlicensed contractors can lead to code violations, failed inspections and costly repairs down the line. Professional water main and sewer services protect your investment by preventing property damage that leaking water mains cause when they erode foundations and flood basements.
Working with licensed contractors helps you avoid fines and violations, since DEP requires proper credentials for water and sewer work. Unlicensed repairs can result in stop-work orders. Properly documented water main and sewer upgrades maintain property value by providing future buyers with confidence and expediting closings. Experienced crews also minimize disruption by completing projects faster with less impact on tenants, businesses and daily operations.
Our crews focus exclusively on excavation and subsurface infrastructure outside building walls rather than indoor plumbing work. Benefits of working with us include:
Master Plumber licensing:Â We hold two Master Plumber licenses specifically for outdoor water main and sewer line work.Â
A century in operation: We’ve been around since 1918. We excavate and replace aging cast iron systems from the early 1900s and install current PVC and ductile iron infrastructure meeting today’s code requirements.
Permit and inspection experience:Â We handle DEP inspection coordination, DOB permit applications, and DOT street-opening approvals for every outdoor excavation project we perform.
Harris Water Main & Sewer Contractors handles excavation projects from permit application through DEP final inspection. We coordinate directly with city agencies and provide project oversight at every stage. Submit our online quote form for project assessment or call 888-469-8752 for emergency service and scheduling.
Signs include slow drains, frequent backups, foul odors, and unusually lush patches in your yard. A professional inspection confirms the issue.

Minor repairs may be completed within a day, while full sewer replacements could take several days based on project complexity and inspections.
