San Francisco’s Most Trusted Sewer Line Installation Experts: Protecting Your Home Since 1998
O’Grady Plumbing (OGP) is San Francisco’s multi-generational residential and commercial plumbing company.
As a master plumber with over 25 years of experience serving San Francisco’s unique neighborhoods, I’ve seen firsthand how proper sewer line installation can save homeowners from disaster. Last year, while working in Pacific Heights, I helped a family whose century-old Victorian had been suffering from recurring backups and slow drains. What they thought was a minor inconvenience turned out to be a severely compromised sewer line that was days away from complete collapse.
That’s the reality of San Francisco’s aging infrastructure. From the historic homes of Nob Hill to the newer condos in SoMa, our city’s unique geography, seismic activity, and older building standards create special challenges for sewer systems.
At O’Grady Plumbing, we’ve been providing expert sewer line installation San Francisco property owners can trust since 1998. We understand that your home isn’t just your biggest investment—it’s where your family makes memories. That’s why we approach every sewer line installation with meticulous attention to detail, considering factors unique to your neighborhood, whether you’re in the foggy Sunset District or the sunny Mission.
Our team specializes in navigating San Francisco’s strict permitting requirements and working with the city’s challenging soil conditions. We’re experienced with Victorian and Edwardian homes, modern condos, and commercial properties alike. More importantly, we understand that a failing sewer line can disrupt your life and potentially cause thousands in water damage—which is why we prioritize durable, long-lasting installations that provide peace of mind for decades to come.

Why San Francisco Homes Need Expert Sewer Line Installation
San Francisco’s unique environment creates specific challenges for sewer systems that require specialized knowledge:
Hilly Terrain
San Francisco’s famous hills affect proper drainage and flow. Our installations account for the precise slope requirements needed for effective sewage transport, even on steep inclines like those found in Nob Hill or Twin Peaks.
Historic Infrastructure
Many neighborhoods like the Mission and North Beach have century-old city sewer connections. We understand how to integrate new installations with aging municipal systems.
Seismic Considerations
San Francisco’s earthquake risk requires special flexible connections and materials that can withstand ground movement. Our installations include earthquake-resistant features that protect your property during seismic events.
Soil Conditions
From the sandy soils of the Sunset to the rocky terrain of Telegraph Hill, different San Francisco neighborhoods have varying soil types that impact installation methods. We assess soil conditions prior to installation to ensure proper support and longevity.
