What’s involved

A tie-in done right

  • Trenching to depth, with the sides kept safe
  • Bedding the pipe on the right material
  • The correct slope on every sewer run
  • Curb stops and valves on water services
  • Town permits and inspection before backfill
  • Backfill and compaction, so nothing settles later

FAQ

Common questions

What does a sewer or water tie-in involve?

Excavating a trench from the house to the main or the curb, bedding the pipe properly, setting the right slope for a sewer line, making the connection, and backfilling and compacting.

Do I need a permit?

Connections to a public sewer or water main need a town permit and inspection. We’ll go over what your town requires at the site visit.

Can you replace an old sewer lateral?

Yes. Older homes in Providence and Pawtucket often have aging laterals. We can dig and replace the line to the connection.

My home has a cesspool. Can you connect it to sewer?

Yes, where a sewer main is available. See Cesspool to Sewer Connection.
