"Leo did a very extensive plumbing repair that required digging through my bathroom floor and replacing a huge pipe to the outside. He also prepared and installed piping and fixtures for a bathroom remodel. Always showed up when he said he would and had a great crew. Cleaned up as well. Would highly recommend. "

"Our sewer main busted and Oak Plumbing’s master plumbers Matt & Mike did a great job at digging down over 7ft to replace the broken section and also upgraded my single sewer main clean out which was nearly rusted through to a dual solid ABS clean out. And also I would like to add that Nate also did a great job at identifying our problem! Thanks guys! You’re AWESOME!"

"This contractor performed the service efficiently, and provided the analysis and options for the sewer line. I felt he was honest with the options and did not try to sell additional services that were not warranted, in my opinion."

"Great experience with Oak Plumbing. They are competent, friendly and great with communication. We had two toilets repaired, a garbage disposal installed and two gas lines capped. We will hire Oak Plumbing again in the near future for a toilet replacement and the installation of a water heater. The technician, Andrew, was very courteous and competent. We highly recommend them!"

"I had a main waterline (meter to house) break. Angel F. came out on a Thursday afternoon (same day I contacted him) and did the fix on the following morning. We replaced PVC with copper. This was a very interesting experience as I expected the front yard to be dug up. Not so: Fito had the equipment necessary to 'pull' the existing PVC while replacing it with the copper line in one relatively fast process. I don't know if Fito has the best pricing, but more important to us is that we received superior service as well as a superior product and installation. Peace of mind and knowing a job as important as this far outweigh getting multiple bids and finding the cheapest contractor. You do get what you pay for."

Customers say: Super punctual

"Guy who came gave me good advice and advised that he felt my issue was not needed for repair. He didn't try to sale me any service as he saw no need. I appreciate a plumber who isn't trying to get work out of people whom don't need it."

FAQs for sewer main install, replace or repair projects in Oakland, 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.
