The Best in the worst of situations. So DEP leaves me a 3 day shutoff notice at 5:30 in the afternoon, admits the damage is the city’s fault and I. The street , but it’s the homeowners responsibility.
So I called around and found Harris.
First of all, even the office staff is very personable, you’d think you were talking to a small business who actually cared about your situation, which was greatly appreciated. Then the guys show up at the job site promptly as scheduled and started working immediately, in real life…. Nothing goes exactly according to plans… and yet every obstruction they hit, they found solutions immediately and you could tell these men knew their job thoroughly. They worked so hard I felt compelled to buy them lunch from a sit down Vietnamese restaurant of pork chops and rice and chicken for the Muslim brothers ☺️
Even then, I had to yell at them to eat, but they wanted to get the install done first to make sure I get my water on asap… I was dumbfounded… men with true mens work ethics… an absolute rarity these days. All in all, not only would I recommend Harris Water main and Sewers, I’ll say, if you want to know what it’s like to truly work with professionals in your sewer and water main issue… Harris is the only place I’d call.
Thank you guys for an amazing job done, in a ridiculously short amount of time…. But then again, that’s what getting an expert gets you!
Great job and thank you again!

Elvis at Harris WaterMain will be my go to for any plumbing issue going forward. We were totally misled by another company for a huge project that wasn’t even necessary. Elvis came up with other solutions that work even better for much much lower cost. He was honest and beyond helpful.

Harris was amazing! They came promptly after our water main break which had some complicated issues. But they stayed, working into the late hours of the night and finished the job. Mike and Stanley communicated throughout the job and took great care of all the details including our paver stones that needed to be removed and replaced as a result of the work. They are the best!!!

Two weeks ago, on January 13, my sewer line broke. Roto-rooter charged me over $2,200 just to diagnose the problem, and then they wanted another $34,000 to replace it. They were only going to guarantee the new sewer for five years. Plus, they said I was responsible for repairing my sidewalk and fence. A friend insisted I call Harris Water Main & Sewer. I did, and thankfully, Elvis Paradis called me back. He came to appraise the job, and he blunty said that Roto-rooter was ripping me off. After consulting the office, he came back with a price of almost $8,000 less than Roto-rooter. Plus, he said that price included repairing my sidewalk and fence. He also gave me a ten year guarantee on the new sewer line, as well as a five year guarantee on the new sidewalk. Needless to say, I immediately cancelled Roto-rooter and hired Harris Water Main and Sewer to replace the sewer line. From the moment I gave Elvis the verbal okay over the phone for Harris to do the work, the staff at Harris kept me in the loop about everything. I was never in the dark. They started the work on Friday, January 17, and finished the next afternoon. And I cannot say enough about those workers either. They were terrific. They were neat, polite, and thorough. Needless to say, everyone at Harris, from Elvis, to the workers doing the job, right down to Mac in the accounting department as well as the rest of the office staff were all terrific. Your entire company went above and beyond to solve our problem, and get our lives back to normal. I don't wish what happened to us on anyone, but if it does, I hope you will follow my lead and call Harris Water Main and Sewer. There's a reason they have been in business since 1918. They are the best at what they do.

Had my water main and sewer done in 2020. Three years later and Harris is still maintaining their work; came today and resealed the patch in the street. Can't say enough good things about Harris: professional, responsive, quality work, in-and-out, great price, fast and easy to deal with. My husband is a heavy construction professional and he continues to be impressed with their product. Highly recommend Brett and the crew.
