They did an amazing job fixing my sewer issue. The whole process was super smooth and easy. They showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and got the job done quickly. Plus, their prices were really reasonable. I didnt feel like I was getting ripped off or anything. The guys were friendly and professional too. Id definitely recommend them to anyone who needs sewer work done. No complaints here, Thanks Darrin!

Shields Sewer Contracting was awesome, honest, professional, timely and efficient! Can’t say enough good words about this company! They came highly recommended to us from our long time plumber to identify and quote the necessary repairing of our main sewer clay pipes for our triplex in an alleyway which is shared with businesses. Shields were very accommodating of their repair time with not only our three tenants but also not impacting the adjacent businesses. All while not quoting an outrageous price - which they did not increase. This is tru professionalism and hard working company- we HIGHLY RECOMMEND Shields sewer contracting!

(Copied from the review I posted at Yelp)Our house was built in the 1950s, when clay pipes with joints every 3-4 feet were common. Over the years, various parts of our lateral (from our house to the city main in the street) had been replaced, including some by us. However, there was an issue with where the lateral connected with the city main line resulting in tree roots growing in and the plumber saying the line will fail if you dont get it fixed. We decided that as long as we had to fix that connection, we would go ahead and do the entire lateral (about 40 to the front of the house). I got a short list of contractors from the city and began making calls. Darrin came out and was clearly very knowledgeable. I ask a ton of questions and do a lot of research, so if someone balks at that or tries to cut me off thats a no-go. Darrin answered all of my questions and gave me some bonus information. His price was the lowest of the estimates, and as another reviewer noted, the contract was simple. This company also has a long relationship with the city inspector, which is helpful. The other contracts we got were pages and pages long, filled with fine print some of which I did not like (e.g. if the contractors camera gets stuck or damaged, we the homeowner have to pay for it!). They worked with the city to pull the permit even though the city employees are all working from home. Once we had a date, a crew member came out and put up No Parking signs several days in advance per the city rules. On start day, they showed up on time and got things done! The job just happened, with no effort by me (a welcome change!). I appreciated their coordination because there are a lot of moving parts to a job like this - concrete cutting, asphalt cutting, digging equipment, traffic control, concrete delivery, temporary street patch and many more. They were happy to answer questions and allow me to take pictures. They started on Tuesday and finished on Friday, including easily passing a city inspection which they (not me!) scheduled with the inspector. They cleaned up thoroughly, including having someone come back Saturday morning to remove the cones and caution tape from the new cement on the sidewalk (which set in less that 24 hours!). Our water was only off twice during the process, once for maybe 2 hours (while they removed the old pipe) and for about 20 minutes when the reconnected the new pipe. They made sure we had water for the overnight in between by making a temporary connection. All holes that would have been a safety risk were properly guarded or covered while open. Cleanup was perfect - they removed every scrap of material, swept and removed their parking signs. The crew was polite, professional and easy to talk to. I always knew who was in charge if I had questions. I would highly recommend this company! I was dreading this repair for several years, and it went way better than I could have imagined and took only 4 days. Thank you Shields!

I had a great experience with Shields Sewer Contracting! The owner, was fantastic to work with - he was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense to me. The crew was efficient and got the job done quickly, and the prices were very fair. I appreciated how transparent they were about the process and costs, no surprises or upselling. Darrins customer service skills are top-notch, he truly cares about his customers. I highly recommend Shields Sewer Contracting for any sewer or drainage issues, theyre the best!

These guys are extremely fast and polite workers. They don’t disturb your routine much at all and no water shut off while they work, The company is always fair and won’t quote you some outrageous amount to get your repair done, they are honest and well worth the cost for the good fast work they do.
