Don't trust your property to a less qualified team. Contact our highly trained experts for quality service.

"I had an awful experience with Cupertino Plumbing. The plumber showed up, barely stayed for 15 seconds, and immediately started swearing at me, saying he didn?t care about the job. Completely unprofessional and disrespectful. If this is how they treat customers, I would never recommend them to anyone."

"We had a great experience with Giant Plumbing and couldn't be happier with the outcome. After a previous water line repair by another company didn't meet our criteria, code, or accepted plumbing standards, Don carefully evaluated the situation, clearly explained what needed to be corrected, and handled everything professionally from start to finish. They fully removed the prior work, rebuilt the system to code, and completed the job exactly to our specifications. Their communication was excellent throughout -- thoughtful, transparent, and never rushed -- and the quality of workmanship was outstanding. The final result is clean, secure, and exactly what we had hoped for from the beginning. It was a huge relief to work with a licensed professional who takes pride in doing things the right way. We would absolutely recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again."

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.
