"When I needed to get a water heater replaced before a weekend after calling it on a Wednesday afternoon, they did it. Every other plumber called could barely send someone to give a quote! It can be hard to find a service company in San Francisco that behaves like they want your business so I was truly grateful. And while the job cost a lot more than I expected, they were able to help with the price because I was in a tight spot financially. Also, when I had an issue that I discovered later on with hot water not getting to the hydronic central heating, Adam came back to bleed the line when I was out of town! That's excellent customer service right there! They have a great team and they run a tight ship!"

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