Septic Tank Inspections

Many people buy houses without having a sewage pipes or septic tank inspection and find out after the fact that portions or all of the system needs replacement. The cost could cost more than $20,000 and is not, generally, covered by homeowner’s insurance.
Please call Nichols for a septic inspection before you buy.

Septic Tank Location

If you do not know where your septic tank is, Nichols Plumbing provides locating services to find your septic tank cover. Additionally, Nichols can send an excavator if your tank lids is more than 12” below ground. Nichols sewer cameras are equipped with locator beacons that can be picked up by a handheld receiver.
If your tank is more than 12” deep, that can be a lot of hand digging. If you desire, Nichols Plumbing can provide excavation services to dig up the tank covers for pumping and other maintenance. To learn more about excavation services, please

Pipe Bursting Technology

Pipe bursting is the latest technology in underground pipe replacement. Nichols Plumbing is always looking for faster, cheaper, less invasive ways to service our customers’ needs. Nichols researched, trained, and brought to this area pipe bursting technology with that in mind.

Nichols Plumbing can now replace underground utilities without digging up your lawn, driveway, or walkway. Pipe bursting is a great application for buildings that have old galvanized water main services. Pipe bursting is also a great method to use when pipes run under a driveway, roadway, across neighboring land, under pavement or concrete, under a tree, or to increase an existing service.
