"I know it might seem like giving 5 stars for everything is just a lazy review. But these guys truly are exceptional. Had a few quotes given, theirs was honest and very fair. They did the work quickly, even adding some additional safety measures without charging. We will definitely use them again for any plumbing needs. They installed cleaning tubes in our front yard so we could more easily access our main pipes which regularly clog."

"If you are looking for a great plumbing company, focused on performing quality and reliable work at reasonable cost--look no further! Alliance United Plumbing has our highest recommendation and Javier, Alliance Unitedâ s owner, is the only plumbing pro and expert we now call when we have any plumbing problems or require other plumbing services/maintenance. This year, Alliance United completed 3 plumbing projects for us. In Jan-Feb 2023, Alliance United replaced a combined length of 46-ft (approx.) of deteriorating 3-in cast iron sewer line on our 4-unit property. About 30-ft ran under a ground floor concrete slab, under the front steps, and onto the city sidewalk to the city sewer line. A lot of jack hammering and hand digging with shovels was required to expose and replace this deteriorating sewer line. Following city inspection, which passed without a hitch, every bit of excavated dirt/soil was put back in place, compacted, and new concrete was poured to replace all that was jack hammered. In the process, another 3-in sewer line was discovered to be buried under our garage concrete slab that connected to the street. Thankfully, Javier determined (via cable camera) this 18-ft cast iron pipe could be serviced (hydro jetting) and the interior relined using a chemical resin/fiberglass process. That section of sewer pipe now has a strong and smooth resin lumen, fortified with fiberglass, and should last for decades! In early May 2023, a second story toilet and bath tub backed up with raw sewage each time a third floor toilet was used and flushed. Alliance United cut away the ceiling sheet rock on the ground floor and exposed a horizontal 3-in cast iron branch line that was obstructed by scale build up, waste, and rust. Leakage was also imminent due to cracks in the pipe walls. All the connections to this branch line were replaced using ABS, including the 23-ft (approx.) branch line itself. Now the second and third floor toilets flush and the bath tubs drain without any backflow, without obstruction, and without any leaks! In June 2023, we experienced another leak from the ground floor ceiling. When the sheet rock was opened, a 2-in cast iron horizontal branch line that drained the third floor kitchen sink was found to be rusting and leaking from several cracks in the cast iron. This 5-1/2 ft cast iron branch line was replaced with ABS, along with several other cast iron fittings. Like the other two earlier plumbing problems, the Alliance United team resolved this issue like the pros they are! My husband and I are dubbing 2023, the â Year of the Leaksâ ! Throughout each of our plumbing nightmares, there was one plumbing company, Alliance United Plumbing,that helped us to resolve all these problems. Javier and his team are truly honorable individuals who care most about doing their best work, offering the best service, quality, and warranty to all their customers at reasonable cost. They are clearly knowledgeable and experienced with a wide range of plumbing systems, both residential and commercial, always putting customer service first! Given our experiences with Javier and his team (including Javier Jr.!) and the service and quality of work they have provided each time, Alliance United Plumbing has earned our customer loyalty. Alliance United Plumbing will always be our plumbing company of choice and once again, we cannot recommend Alliance United more highly! Thank you, Javier, for helping us through our plumbing nightmares over the past 6-months. You and your team are absolutely the best!"

"Armando and his team were great, I was looking for someone to help diagnose a problem with my refrigerator and they contacted me and came to my house the same day to fix the problem. Armando also worked with me to offer the service at a reasonable price which was much appreciated. I will definitely look to Fix It Quick for any other plumbing needs I have in the future, and would recommend them to anyone else looking for this service."

"Great team to work with. Very thorough. Very honest. They show up on time and get the job done. We redid our sewer line, replaced the main water line and lined our iron pipes under the house. The project was completed in two days. If you need plumbing and sewer work call Alex and Jose. If you need a second opinion give them a call. You will be very happy."

"Unfortunately there was a defective fitting that caused a pipe to burst. The house was vacant so we didn't learn about it until the next day. Alvin bent over backwards to repaire the damage, replace the ruined water heater, and make us whole. He even changed the water heater to a tankless model because the location of the ruined water heater didn't meet code and tankless was our only option."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Burbank, CA

When installing a sewer line, you should consider extra costs like tree removal, driveway repairs, or patio resurfacing. Hiring a professional plumber is essential, and you may need additional specialists if landscaping or heavy excavation is involved. Addressing these potential extras up front helps ensure accurate budgeting and prevents sudden cost overruns.

To calculate the length of sewer piping you need, measure the distance from your house to the main sewer line, adding the depth of the city main to this distance. Be sure to account for any obstacles like tree roots or utility lines that may require additional piping.

City sewer lines are installed at a lower elevation to prevent unwanted backflow and water damage. This lower positioning ensures enhanced performance and long-term safety, meeting all technical and safety standards.

With trenchless methods, a plumber inserts a smaller pipe within the existing plumbing, avoiding full excavation. It can be more cost-effective and less disruptive than traditional methods, but it's not suitable for all homes.

Yes, you must secure permission from your local water authority before connecting to a public sewer line. This approval ensures your connection meets all regulatory requirements.

Sewer lines are buried between 18 inches and 8 feet deep, with most systems placed between 18 and 30 inches. In colder regions, pipes are set deeper to remain below the frost line.
