A sewer tie in connects a house or building to the town sewer main, and the job runs in a simple order. The route gets planned, every other utility gets marked, a trench is dug from the building to the main, the new line is set and connected, and the ground is put back, so when one company handles the digging and the line, the whole project flows from the first visit to the cleanup without a handoff.
Start With a Look at the Whole Route
Every tie in begins with a walk from the building to the sewer main. We look at where the line will leave the house, where the main sits and what is in between, like a driveway, a wall, trees or the edge of the road. That first look shapes the whole plan, and it is the best time to ask questions about your property.
Get Every Other Line Marked Before the Dig
The ground under a yard or a street holds gas, water and electric lines, so all of them get marked before any digging begins. We take all the proper preparation to know exactly where every line is, and we have worked between water and gas services with inches to spare. That care is what lets the new sewer line go in cleanly beside everything else.

Plan the Water Line at the Same Time
If the water service coming into the building is old too, this is the perfect moment to plan for it. Handling both lines in the same project means the site work happens once and the yard is put back once.
Count On Backfill and Cleanup as Part of the Job
Once the line is connected and inspected, the trench is filled and the site is put back. That last step is part of the job from the start, so the project finishes with a working connection and a yard that is ready to use.
If you are connecting a new build, moving off septic or replacing an old line, tell us about the property and we will walk you through how the job would go. We handle sewer tie ins for homes, multi family buildings and commercial buildings across the Seacoast, including Portsmouth, Kittery and Hampton.
