Allied/All-City Plumbing

The existing sewer line at my home in Bethpage, Long Island was more than 30 years old and needed immediate replacement. The sewer line passed below the garage floor, the driveway and the landscaping. I had been postponing the work for years, considering the cost involvement and the mess that it would create. Then I read about Allied/All-City and the pipe-bursting technique that they use to replace the old sewers. When I called their number to inquire I was pleasantly surprised. Mr. John Marra met me in the same evening and explained the entire process of pipe bursting. Instead of cutting through my garage floor and the driveway, there would be only one small excavation near the sidewalk, where new sewer pipe would be connected to the street sewer using a flexible spur. The new sewer line, without any joint in between, would be pulled through the opening in the basement wall using a hydraulic jack and a stressing strand. During the process it would break open the old sewer pipe. The new sewer pipe would be of the same diameter or more than the existing line. The best part, the entire job would be completed within a day. I took the day off from my work to observe the entire process. The job was executed with clock-work precision. Allied/All-City had a very well organized team and adequate resources to carry out the job in a short notice. As an engineer who has been involved in underground construction for decades, I can recommend Allied/All-City and the pipe bursting technique that they use for replacement of old sewer lines without going through the pain of extensive demolition and reconstruction of existing structures and utilities.
