Sewer & Water Line Installation & Repair in Chesapeake, VA

If you own a home in Chesapeake, VA, chances are your water or sewer lines are feeling their age. Many homes still have polybutylene water lines, prone to leaks, and Orangeburg sewer pipes, a tar-paper-based material that collapses over time. 

As Chesapeake expands its public sewer systems, many homeowners are upgrading aging sewer lines, connecting to city service, and safely abandoning old septic tanks. 

A1 Sewer & Drain provides expert drain cleaning, line repairs, and water line replacement to protect your property from costly damage. 

Whether you need a quick main line repair or emergency sewer line repairs, our local sewer repair team understands Chesapeake’s unique soil and regulations and delivers reliable results every time.

I decided to add a gas line to my kitchen. I selected A1 from 3 quotes and it turned out to be the best decision. The process to convert from electric to gas has many steps- and I was not an expert so there were some hiccups- A1 (particularly Cody) was responsive and understanding and worked with me until the new range was lit. I could not recommend them enough.

Causes of Sewer & Water Line Problems in Chesapeake, VA

Chesapeake’s mix of older homes and shifting coastal soils makes underground sewer and water lines especially vulnerable. Common issues include corrosion from mineral-rich groundwater, tree root intrusion, cracked, bellied, or sagging lines, and the breakdown of outdated materials like Orangeburg and polybutylene. 

Remember: anything within your property boundary is the homeowner’s responsibility, while the city maintains the public lines beyond that point.
