Top Reasons to Employ a Sewer Contractor Employing a sewer contractor is necessary whenever there is need for a new sewer system to be installed, or an old system needs to be repaired or flushed clean. Since sewer pipes carrying toxic waste, systems need to be installed, flushed, and serviced by licensed contractors. It is crucial to employ a sewer contractor that is licensed and certified. Contractors that install or repair sewer systems need to have work permits, liability insurance policy, and a business license. Sewer pipe installation is a complicated process that necessitates careful planning and precision work. If sewer systems are not installed properly serious consequences can take place. Two of the biggest issues involve flooding and release of environmental toxins. There are five categories of pipeline construction which include commercial, institutional, industrial, municipality, and residential. Each category requires hiring experienced sewer contractors that have received specialized training in the specific category of work. Residential sewer pipes are needed to convey wastewater through city sewer systems or private septic tanks. In essence, septic tanks are considered to be private sewer systems because they do not connect to city lines. Homeowners are responsible for maintaining septic tanks and making certain that sewage is not released into the environment. City sewer systems are maintained by the county. These systems connect multiple houses or commercial buildings to public sewer lines. Untreated wastewater is transported to treatment facilities where sewage undergoes numerous filtration processes. Many counties in the United States are facing the costly expense of modernizing outdated sewer systems. Many of the antiquated systems were installed over 100 years ago. Anytime towns have to upgrade sewer pipes within the entire county, sewer contractors are hired by the General Contractor in charge of the project.

One very important component of these systems is sewer manholes. Sewer manholes serve two important purposes. The main function is to provide contractors with entry into subsurface pipes so they can perform repairs and routine maintenance. Manholes are also used as a release valve to prevent gases from building up inside the pipes and causing an explosion. The vast majority of sewer systems operate by use of a gravity-powered system that carries untreated waste downhill. Whenever sewer systems are installed below sea level a lift station has to be added to increase elevation. Lift stations provide an alternative to carry sewage to another gravity powered system where it can then be conveyed to the treatment facility. Conveying sewage to treatment plants involves designing complex systems comprised of subsurface pipes, laterals, oil and water separators, and sewer manholes. Together, these components can carry away countless gallons of raw sewage on a daily basis. Installing and maintaining sewer systems is a complex procedure that demands employing an experienced sewer contractor. Seek out contractors that have been certified and licensed, as well as trained for the specific type of job. It is also important to employ contractors that make construction safety a number one priority. WATER * SEWER * FIRE LINE * STORM DRAIN * SUBSURFACE UTILITY ENGINEERING 1639 E.
