One crew, one phone call. Here’s exactly what to expect when you hire VP Construction.
We assess the scope — whether it's a new installation, a repair, or a system replacement. We provide a detailed written estimate with all costs.
We pull the required plumbing and excavation permits and coordinate PA One Call utility locates before digging.
Trenches are excavated to proper depth and grade. New pipe is installed, bedded in stone, and connected to the municipal system or septic tank.
The installation is inspected by the local code enforcement officer or sewage enforcement officer before backfill. We schedule and attend all inspections.
Trenches are backfilled and compacted in lifts. Disturbed surfaces — lawns, driveways, sidewalks — are restored to pre-construction condition.

Common signs include slow drains throughout the house, sewage backups, wet spots in the yard, or sinkholes forming over the line. If your home was built before the 1970s, the original clay pipe may be deteriorated or root-infiltrated.
Yes. We install complete septic systems for new construction and replace failing systems on existing properties. All work is done to PA DEP standards and coordinated with the local sewage enforcement officer.
Sewer lines in PA are typically buried 3 to 6 feet deep to stay below the frost line. The exact depth depends on the connection point and the slope needed for proper flow.
Sewer work does require excavation, but we keep the trench as narrow as possible and restore all disturbed surfaces — driveways, sidewalks, and lawns — as part of the job.
Most residential sewer line replacements are completed in 1 to 3 days depending on length, depth, and site conditions. We'll give you a timeline during the estimate.
