You stop worrying about that slow drain turning into a flooded kitchen. You stop watching your water bill climb because of a leak you can’t find. You stop wondering if your 1980s-era pipes are about to give out at the worst possible time.
Here’s what changes when you work with a plumbing contractor in New Almaden, CA who knows these homes. Your water heater stops making that noise and actually heats water consistently. Your drains clear and stay clear because someone took the time to do it right. Your sewer line gets inspected before tree roots turn a small issue into a $15,000 nightmare.
San Jose’s hard water has been eating away at your fixtures and pipes for years. You need someone who understands what that means for your specific system and can tell you what’s urgent and what can wait. Most homes in this area were built in the 1980s, which means your plumbing is hitting that age where small problems become big ones fast.
You get straight answers about what’s broken, what it costs to fix, and how long it’ll actually last. No upselling. No scare tactics. Just someone who’s been doing this in your neighborhood for 40 years and knows exactly what your home needs.
We’ve been serving San Jose since 1985. That’s 40 years of seeing what goes wrong in homes like yours, what fixes hold up, and what’s just a waste of your money.
We’re family-owned, which means when Ramiro took over in 2006, he didn’t change what was working. Same commitment to showing up when we say we will. Same focus on fixing it right the first time. Same understanding that your home in New Almaden, CA isn’t just another service call.
Your neighborhood sits in an area where 33% of properties face major flooding risk over the next 30 years. Your plumbing system is older. Your home is worth over $2 million. You need someone who gets what’s at stake and doesn’t treat your property like a quick job.
You call or contact us with your plumbing issue. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening and schedule a time that works for you. No vague “we’ll be there between 8 and 5” windows.
Our technician shows up and actually looks at your system. Not just the obvious problem, but what’s causing it. If you’ve got a leak, we’re checking why that pipe failed. If your drain keeps clogging, we’re finding out what’s down there. We give you a clear explanation of what’s wrong and what it takes to fix it, including the cost before we start any work.
Once you approve, we fix it. We’re not the cheapest option in San Jose, and that’s because we use parts that last and techniques that hold up in homes with hard water and aging infrastructure. When we’re done, we test everything, clean up, and walk you through what we did.
You get a straightforward answer about how long the repair should last and what to watch for. If something needs attention down the road, we tell you now so you can plan for it instead of getting blindsided.

We handle water heater repair in New Almaden, CA when yours stops heating or starts leaking. That includes tank and tankless systems, and we’ll tell you honestly when repair makes sense versus replacement.
Drain cleaning in New Almaden, CA is a big one here because of how tree roots infiltrate older sewer lines. We use camera inspections to see what’s actually blocking your pipes, not just snake it and hope. Pipe leak repair matters in this area because your home’s value means water damage gets expensive fast.
Sewer line issues are common in 1980s construction. We handle everything from minor repairs to full line replacements, and we can usually tell you which one you need within an hour of inspecting. Faucet and fixture work includes dealing with the hard water buildup that’s specific to San Jose. Your fixtures aren’t just old, they’re calcified.
We also install whole-house water filtration systems, which makes sense here given the water quality. Emergency plumbing services are available when you’ve got a burst pipe or backup that can’t wait. And we offer free estimates because you should know what you’re spending before you commit to anything.
Most plumbing companies in San Jose charge between $119 and $397 for standard service calls and repairs. That range depends on what’s broken, how long it takes to fix, and what parts you need.
A simple faucet repair might run $150 to $250. Water heater repairs typically start around $200 and go up depending on what failed. Drain cleaning ranges from $150 for a basic clog to $400+ if we need to camera the line and clear roots.
Sewer line work is where costs jump. A spot repair might be $1,500 to $3,000. Full line replacement in your area usually runs $5,000 to $15,000 depending on access and length. We give you the actual number before we start, and we’ll explain why it costs what it costs so you understand what you’re paying for.
Hard water damage tops the list. San Jose’s water is notoriously hard, which means scale builds up inside your pipes, water heater, and fixtures. You’ll see reduced water pressure, inefficient heating, and fixtures that look corroded even when they’re not that old.
Sewer line issues from tree roots are huge in this area. Most homes here were built in the 1980s when sewer lines were installed. Forty years later, tree roots have infiltrated those lines and cause recurring backups. You’ll notice slow drains throughout the house or gurgling sounds when you flush.
Aging galvanized pipes are another common issue. If your home still has original plumbing, those pipes are corroding from the inside out. You might see discolored water, low pressure, or pinhole leaks that seem to pop up randomly. Water heater failures also spike here because the hard water accelerates sediment buildup, which kills efficiency and eventually cracks the tank.
Yes. When you’ve got a burst pipe flooding your home or a sewer backup that can’t wait until Monday, we respond fast. Emergency plumbing issues in a $2 million home aren’t something you sit on.
We handle burst pipes, major leaks, water heater failures that are actively flooding, sewer backups, and anything else that’s causing immediate damage to your property. Our response time depends on where we are when you call, but we prioritize emergencies over scheduled maintenance.
Here’s what matters: we’re not going to price-gouge you because it’s 9 PM on a Saturday. Emergency rates are higher than standard rates because someone’s dropping what they’re doing to help you, but we’re not going to triple the price just because you’re desperate. You’ll get the same quality work and the same straight answers you’d get during business hours.
If your water heater is under 8 years old and the repair costs less than half of replacement, repair usually makes sense. If it’s over 12 years old or the repair is expensive, replacement is typically the smarter move.
Here’s why age matters in San Jose specifically: hard water kills water heaters faster than normal. Sediment builds up at the bottom of the tank, which makes your heater work harder and fail sooner. A water heater that might last 15 years in soft water areas often dies at 10 to 12 years here.
Signs you need replacement include rust-colored water, loud banging or popping sounds that don’t stop after flushing, leaks around the base of the tank, or inconsistent water temperature. If you’re repairing the same water heater multiple times in a year, you’re throwing money away. We’ll tell you honestly which option makes financial sense based on your specific unit and how it’s performing.
Multiple drains backing up at once is the biggest red flag. If your toilet gurgles when you run the washing machine, or your shower backs up when you flush, that’s a main sewer line issue, not a single drain clog.
We run a camera inspection to see what’s actually happening in your sewer line. If tree roots have infiltrated and caused minor damage, we can often clear them and repair the affected section. If the pipe is collapsed, severely corroded, or damaged in multiple spots, replacement makes more sense than patching it repeatedly.
In New Almaden, CA, most sewer line problems come from root intrusion in older clay or cast iron pipes. Your home’s age means your sewer line is hitting that point where problems escalate. A camera inspection costs a few hundred dollars and tells you exactly what you’re dealing with. That’s a lot smarter than guessing and potentially wasting money on repairs that won’t hold.
A sudden spike in your water bill usually means you’ve got a leak somewhere. It might be obvious, like a running toilet or dripping faucet. Or it might be hidden, like a slab leak under your foundation or a leak in your irrigation system.
Toilets are the most common culprit. A running toilet can waste 200 gallons per day, which adds up fast on your San Jose water bill. Leaky faucets seem minor but waste thousands of gallons yearly. Underground leaks are harder to spot but often show up as wet spots in your yard, unexplained puddles, or a water meter that keeps running even when nothing’s on.
We can track down where you’re losing water and fix it. Sometimes it’s a $150 toilet flapper. Sometimes it’s a bigger issue like a failing pressure regulator or corroded pipe. Either way, finding and fixing leaks pays for itself pretty quickly when you’re paying San Jose water rates. We’ll also check your whole system and let you know if there are other inefficiencies driving up your usage.
