Don't flush your money down the drain when your plumbing goes out! Trust Corsa Plumbing and Rooter to get it done right. We are available for you day or night for all types of plumbing service.

"I feel that I was very lucky have chosen Corsa Plumbing to do diagnose and replace 2 sewers for me. One in Lafayette and one in Pleasant Hill. Ray, was easy to work with and he did a great job of advising me on the existing problems and explaining what they would do to fix them. The camera inspection of the sewer line and the estimate were free. I was present when he did them. Both of the bids were fair, but do not include the cost of County permits. I will highly recommend you get a bid from Corsa Plumbing. You won’t regret it. You can hardly tell that the sewer was replaced Steve Walsh, retired Realtor and property manager for residential homes."

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