"We returned from vacation to find pools of water in the front yard caused by a major leak(s) in the water line encased in the attached garage slab. Angie responded right away with plumbing recommendations. We ultimately chose Major League Plumbing who came out the same day and made the assessment. Our house structure allowed them to bypass the leak(s) by rerouting the pipes to the first and second floors in one day thus saving us a ton of money in time, materials, and labor. Michael, the owner, was extremely pleasant and efficient. We certainly appreciate his creative solution and would definitely recommend the company and use them again for our plumbing needs."

We have 7 year experience on plumbing we are very clean and we use heavy duty materials. To get the best quality project.

"Fernando was very responsive - he returned my request very fast with a confirmed time to come to my house to repair ... both cold water and hot water under the kitchen sink were leaking. He showed up at my house at the exact time he said, and replaced both valves to stop the leakage. Excellent quality of work and professionalism. We hired him again second time to 1) install a new water heater tank and a new kitchen sink faucet, and 2) a full house plumbing inspection to ensure if any unseen leakage or issues ... we are very satisfied with his services."

"Vincent and his assistant Sergei took on a difficult job of installing a stove top and a downdraft fan that posed some challenges of fitting into an existing counter space. An installer sent by the dealer failed at this task but they were careful and creative in finding solutions. We appreciated the attention to detail and their hard work - and the result was fabulous. Not least, the price was reasonable and both of them were easy and pleasant to work with. No hesitation in recommending their services."

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