Water heaters and tankless, hydro jetting and drains, sewer camera inspections, main lines, gas leaks and the valves nobody thinks about until they fail. Licensed in California, CSLB #1156366.
8 a.m. to 5 p.m., seven days a week. No after-hours emergency service.
Plumbing, Fixtures & Water Systems
Most plumbing gets fixed twice because the first fix treated the symptom. A new washer on a failing valve buys you a season. A patch on old galvanized buys you less than that. Then it's back, usually at a worse hour.
First On The List
A tank that's leaking at the base, rumbling, or running out of hot water halfway through a shower is telling you something. We replace it with a tank sized to the house and install it the way California requires.
Who Shows Up
You Call The Plumber. The Plumber Shows Up.
Filmed Through His Eyes
Most plumbing ends up inside a wall, under a slab or above a ceiling. So we film it. These clips are ours, straight off the camera: no stock footage, no actors.
Supply line
The old line came out of the trench in pieces. New copper goes in fitting by fitting. Main water line replacement
Overhead run
A run of new copper across a ceiling, in place before anything gets covered. More of what he sees on the job
In the wall
A copper stub through an opening in a wall, solder in hand, before the wall is closed up. More of what he sees on the job
How A Job Goes
Tell us what it's doing and when it started. We'll ask a few questions.
We find the cause before anything gets quoted, then fix the cause.
The price comes before the work starts, not after it's finished.
Fixed at the cause, cleaned up, and left working.

The pressure regulator in that photo is his work: a new valve, new copper, and a gauge on the line that reads the pressure. Readable, labeled, done.

Know Your Water
Most of the water across these areas is hard, and it decides how long a water heater lasts and how often a tankless needs flushing. Here's what each supplier publishes for its own water, on the USGS hardness scale.
