Sewer Installation
A sewer line is the most critical part of your plumbing system, responsible for safely and efficiently carrying wastewater away from your home or business. When a sewer line fails, it can lead to devastating consequences, from foul-smelling backups and slow drains to structural damage and costly environmental cleanup. At Shark Plumbing, we are the trusted experts in professional sewer installation throughout San Jose, Fremont, Milpitas, and surrounding areas.
The Importance of Proper Sewer Installation
Whether you're building a new property, replacing an old, failing sewer line, or connecting to the municipal sewer system for the first time, proper installation is paramount. A poorly installed sewer line can lead to a host of future problems, including:
Misaligned Pipes: This can create bellies where waste collects, leading to chronic clogs.
Improper Slope: If the pipe is not laid with the correct slope, gravity can't do its job, causing waste to sit and build up.
Leaky Joints: Faulty seals can allow wastewater to escape into the soil, contaminating the ground and attracting invasive tree roots.
Future Damage: A weak or shallow installation can make the line vulnerable to shifting soil, root intrusion, and heavy traffic.
Our team at Shark Plumbing takes every step to ensure your new sewer line is installed correctly, safely, and in full compliance with local codes. We secure all necessary permits and work diligently to minimize disruption to your property.
Our Sewer Installation Process
We use a systematic and professional approach for every sewer installation project to guarantee a long-lasting and reliable result.
Detailed Assessment & Planning: We begin with a thorough inspection of your property to determine the optimal route for the new sewer line. We consider the layout of your property, soil conditions, and municipal regulations to design the most efficient and effective system.
Excavation: Our team carefully excavates the trench for the new pipe. We use precision equipment to dig to the correct depth and maintain the proper grade for effective drainage.
Pipe Laying & Connection: We lay the new pipes, securing each joint with professional-grade seals. We ensure the line has the perfect pitch and is properly connected to your internal plumbing system and the municipal sewer main.
Backfilling & Cleanup: Once the installation is complete and inspected, we carefully backfill the trench, compacting the soil to prevent future settling. We clean up the worksite, leaving your property as tidy as possible.
Permitting: We handle all the necessary paperwork and permitting with the local city and utility departments, ensuring your project meets all legal requirements.

Complete Line Failure:
If your existing sewer line has collapsed, suffered extensive root damage, or is too corroded to be repaired, a full replacement is the most effective solution.
Relocation or Renovation:
If your renovation plans require moving plumbing fixtures, you may need to reroute or install new sections of your sewer line.
