Water Main and Sewer Main Services for Orange County Homeowners and Businesses
The water main brings clean water into your property, and the sewer main carries waste away. When either line fails, the consequences can be severe — from no running water to sewage backing up into your home. A. Stevens Plumbing & Heating Inc. provides expert water and sewer main repair and replacement throughout Washingtonville, NY, and Orange. Call (845) 496-5903 immediately if you suspect a main line issue.

Why Fast Action Matters
Main line failures can rapidly escalate from an inconvenience to a health hazard or structural issue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for water and sewer main repairs — the homeowner or the municipality?
Generally, the homeowner is responsible for the portion of the water and sewer lines that runs from the property to the connection point at the street. The municipality is typically responsible for the main lines in the street itself. We can help you understand the scope of your responsibility and coordinate with your local utility if needed.
Can a sewer main be repaired without digging up my yard?
In some cases, trenchless repair methods can address sewer main damage with minimal excavation. Whether this is an option depends on the type and location of the damage. Our technicians will assess the situation and explain all available options before any work begins.
How do tree roots get into sewer lines?
Tree roots naturally grow toward moisture and nutrients. Sewer lines are an attractive target, and roots can infiltrate through even tiny cracks or loose joints over time. Once inside, they expand and can cause significant blockages or structural damage. We can clear root intrusions and recommend the appropriate repair to prevent recurrence.
