"Jess helped us out with the huge job of replacing the entire sewer main pipe from under our house to the sidewalk given that our old cast iron pipes were corroded and kept getting blocked by roots. This was a 3 day job involving a multiple person team. We went with Jess given that his estimate seemed fair and beat out other competitors. The work ended up being more labor intensive than anticipated, as digging to the city sewer line, which should have taken hours, ended up taking a day and a half due to unseen gnarled roots and cement in the soil. Despite this, Jess and his team worked diligently, showed up when they said they would, and finished on time. They were courteous, professional, and very hard working. I will not hesitate to contact Jess for our future plumbing needs. Photo shows old pipe vs new pipe."

"It was a pleasure being able to have Robert come out to help with my family s water heater issues. He was very friendly and is a well experienced plumber (I believe he told me 20 years as a licensed plumber). Response time was excellent, same day service, and the cost of service was more reasonable than any other estimates we received. I would highly recommend Robert and Drain Right to my friends or family, and I will be reaching out for his plumbing services again if I ever encounter any plumbing issues while I m still living in the Bay Area."

"Can not imagine a better response, starting with my call for assistance, response time and how the technician, Tad methodically diagnosed the problem. We have an obscure kitchen fixture that required service in Feb 2019. Under warranty the problem was easily diagnosed by me, a problem possibly caused by me and a replacement part sent and installed by Albert Nahman team. Problem: I broke the faucet cartridge. Current Problem: restricted hot water flow in this kitchen sink only. Turns out the new cartridge part is now malfunctioning. I called and Tad arrived taking a step by step approach ruling out possible causes: a clog here or there, build up of sediment, or blockage in the lines or cartridge. The company that sells the product got on the phone with Tad and they collaborated on the problem and the tech person gave Tad one more thing to try. After the collaboration it is agreed, problem persisted and therefore that new cartridge part is now malfunctioning and will be shipped free of charge in two days. Thanks to all, who made this possible and I trust we will have Tad here again soon to finalize this fix. BTW, cost of service was less than expected given going rates for such a call lasting in excess of one hour. Another comment, spending time with Tad during the repair was a pleasure to have him explain, collaborate, listen and just chat. Questions on who to call next time, no question who I will call next time. I have read criticism of costs: In the Berkeley area "How much does it cost to hire a plumber? Some plumbers have a minimum fee for a service call. They might charge anywhere from $175-250 to come out and give you a consultation. Plumbers may give you a general service rate of $128-148 per hour when there are a lot of unknowns about a project and they aren't sure how long it will take. Some charge a flat rate for their plumbing services. For example, you may get charged $175 for a sink or drain cleaning, while toilet installation costs $500." Today costs are upfront, same as charges in Feb, $69 to arrive and assess the problem. Here in excess of one hour for $129 minus $25 coupon, total charge $173. I am ok and I expected these costs. If I was in Philly, where I grew up, I could call an uncle or cousin and get a better rate, a family rate. This is going rate for our area."

"I would give them six stars if I could. The entire process was smooth and pleasant. Fair negotiation, good price, excellent execution. We had to replace sewer lateral - a major work - and Faren and his guys did everything highly professionally and on time, including taking care of city permits, inspections, and protection of the site. Warmly recommended to everyone."

"
    1. I called Ben Franklin Plumbing due to a leaky faucet.  They ended up replacing 2 faucets and installing a whole house water filter (Yay!) and a new water heater.

      The team at Ben Franklin Plumbing is beyond absolutely Fabulous!  They are brilliant in hiring the finest, most skillfull and the best young men as their service men.  There's Brian, Matt Hopkins, Eric Tyler, Ariel Gonzalas, Dave Kileen and their dispatchers Raphael & Jessica along with Kim & Fawn.

      I am so glad I had a leaking faucet that caused me to call to them.  The 1st rep I met was Mathew Harris, who showed no edginess or anxiety to hurry up and get on to the next client.  He was totally present with us and our needs. He was willing to educate us & give us options without any pressure.  He gave us information then sat back while we took the time to decide what to do.  He showed us the extreme corrosion we had been oblivious to in our ancient water heater, which was
      evidence to me that an in-home flood was soon to occur unless the water heater was replaced.   All he did was show me.  When I saw the corrosion & realized a flood was imminent, it was I who initiated the purchase of a new tank. 

      1.      Without fail, every time I called them for service, the rep of the day from Ben Franklin respected my time by coming promptly on the day and at the time of appointment as scheduled.

      2.      They faithfully carefully covered their shoes to protect my floors while working inside.

      3.      They faithfully removed their shoe covers when leaving the house to keep them clean for the next time they
      came back in.

      4.      Each visit, they also were faithful in laying a tarp down to protect my floor from dirt & grime.

      5.      They brought calm, confident, pleasant, professionally friendly energy with them.

      6.      They were on task the minute they entered the home ready to go to work and get the job done.

      7.      They pursued the task to the end and the workmanship was impeccable.

      8.      There was one oversight.  When I brought it to their attention there was no defense, denial or delay tactics, only
      complete accountability and prompt resolution.

      9.     The 1st water heater was installed beautifully and worked beautifully?  however, it banged/thumped/clanged & thudded arbitrarily at all hours of the night & day.

      10.  When I called them about it, they cheerfully sent someone outwithin 24 hours.

      11.  They made a lot of visits to my house because even though they had clues to what the problem was, not one of the visits produced any audible validation that the sound even existed.

      12.  After a few months of doing every adjustment they could possibly think of, they installed a 2nd water heater.

      13.  After installation, while Matt was filling out his report? the sound happened!  He actually heard it in the 2nd tank of the same brand that he has just installed 10 minutes ago.  It was a sound no one had ever heard before!  And it happened with both heaters installed in my house!  

      14.  Not once had they indicated that I must be crazy hearing a sound that didn?t seem to exist!

      15.  Their rep took a new interest now that he actually heard it with the 2nd of the same brand.

      16.  It felt so good now that one of them had finally heard it!

      17.  He figured out what triggered the sound & recorded it on his phone & brought it back to his supervisor.

      18.  Hoping the sound would work itself out of this new one we lived with it for a couple more months to no avail.

      19.  When I called them with the bad news that the noise was still as loud and obnoxious as ever, without hesitation they made an appointment, switched brands & installed a Rheam the 3rd time!  (no extra charges requested for either replacement)

      20.  During the several months duration of this situation, my perceptions were never dismissed or ignored or brushed aside.  I was never told that since they spent time to install it I should be happy with its high performance as a heater and just deal with the noises and that things were fine the way they were.

      21.  The 3rd one has been the charm!  It is quietly doing its job and stand as my in house monument to Ben Franklin?s Plumbing commitment to service and being certain their clients are satisfied.

      22.   I had the opportunity through experience to talk to the owner & supervisor as well as ½ a dozen reps.  Each and every one of them showed nothing but concern for my well-being and making every effort to accommodate my needs.

      23.  The 5 months it took had nothing to do with neglect.  It was the nature of this particular mystery requiring that length of time to figure out.

      24.  Since they are national, I plan to connect my daughter in WA state with Ben Franklin Plumbing so I can feel secure that she is in good hands when plumbing needs arise in her home!

      It is impossible to speak too highly of the Benjamin Franklin Team.  My 65 year old heart is full of gratitude for working with people of such high integrity and commitment to professionalism and actually earning the money they are paid and
      standing behind their service.

      It opens my heart as I remember their warm hearted careful consideration & respect for me and my 73 year old husband in an era of time where kind old trusting people are preyed upon by those who are too busy to care.

"We started with a simple kitchen faucet installation, but quickly learned that our 50 year old house needed the old galvanized piping replaced. Jose went way beyond our expectations and did an amazing job. Calmly answering our questions and resolving all our concerns while completing all our requirements. Julio, the owner, gave us a very good deal on pricing and was here almost the entire time overseeing the project and completing some of the work himself. Jose even came back to fix a couple of minor issues and answered a few more questions I had. I highly recommend the Legacy Plumbing Team for their expertise and commitment to completing the job on time. They even stayed one night until 9PM to finish the job and make sure we had hot water. I have found my go to Plumbing Team and will continue to use them. High praise to Jose and Julio's entire team."

"Excellent company excellent plumbers. Out water heater ruptured in the middle of the night and we had a plumber contacting us with next steps almost immediately at 2am. Greg, our plumber went above and beyond trying to get our hot water back as soon as possible and as cost effectively as possible and we can’t thank him enough for that. Great communication and a quick install. Can’t see us using anyone else for our plumbing needs."

"Jose and William did an excellent job from start to finish. First, when they came to look at what the job would be and give me a quote, they were extremely thorough. Jose was able to understand the exisiting gas pipe situation, even pointed out that there was a line that ran to my heater, something I did not consider. He laid out exactly what he was going to do for the installation and talked through all the options and variables. Also, the quote was excellent for the job! I was able to schedule them a few weeks later. Jose and William arrived with all the parts needed. Of course, with any installation job, there was a small problem (that of drilling through the masonry of the fireplace, something that no one would have known). However, Jose was able to figure out how to get past the problem and finish the job perfectly. We know have an amazing gas fireplace setup, thanks to Jose, William and Antonio. I highly recommend Plumbing & Rooter Service for any of your plumbing needs."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Loma-mar, 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.
