Belly in Sewer Line - DC Plumber Recommendation

[Neil Hohmann]

Hey BiggerPockets Community!

I'm seeking leads for reputable plumbers in the Washington, DC area. We have a single-family home (built in the 1920s) in Takoma, DC.

Over the last couple of weeks our property manager has been dealing with a backed-up sewer line. It's been scoped and scaled and cleaned, etc. But the problem keeps recurring after a few days. The plumber (DH Stevens) has informed the property manager that they think the main has a "belly" and it needs to be replaced.

They recommend digging down through the basement floor and replacing the affected pipe. But after more than a week, they still have not provided a scope of work or proposal.

Giving the high cost of this procedure, I'm searching for recommendations for reputable plumbers in the DMV area for a second and third opinion and quote.

If you have a lead or any advice, please let me know. Thank you!

Neil
