You’re not calling a plumber in Rucker, CA because you want to. You’re calling because something broke, leaked, or stopped working entirely—and you need it fixed today.
That’s what matters here. Your water heater works when you need hot water. Your drains clear without flooding your kitchen. Your pipes don’t leak through the ceiling at 9 PM on a Tuesday.
We’ve been doing this in Santa Clara County since 1985. That means we’ve seen what actually breaks in Bay Area homes, what fails first in older infrastructure, and what fixes hold up long-term. You get plumbing services in Rucker, CA that work the first time, so you’re not dealing with the same problem three months later.
All Fresh Temp started in 1985 when Ramiro’s father opened shop to serve San Jose and Santa Clara County. We’re still family-owned, still local, and still doing the work ourselves.
That longevity matters in Rucker, CA, where housing stock averages over 40 years old and plumbing systems weren’t built for today’s demands. We know what fails in older Bay Area homes because we’ve been fixing them for decades.
You’re working with licensed, insured technicians who live in the area and understand what local homeowners deal with—from hard water issues to aging galvanized pipes. When you call a local plumber in Rucker, CA, you’re getting someone who’s been around long enough to do it right.
You call or text. We answer—not a voicemail, not a call center. You talk to someone who can actually schedule your appointment and answer basic questions about what you’re dealing with.
We give you a realistic arrival window and show up when we say we will. Once we’re there, we assess the problem, explain what’s wrong in plain terms, and give you upfront pricing before any work starts. No surprises on the invoice.
If it’s an emergency—burst pipe, water heater failure, backed-up sewer line—we prioritize same-day service throughout Rucker, CA. For scheduled work like installations or upgrades, we coordinate around your availability and finish the job without dragging it across multiple days.
After the repair or installation, we test everything, clean up, and make sure you understand what we did and why. You get a straightforward invoice that matches the quote we gave you.

We handle emergency repairs—burst pipes, water heater failures, sewer backups, slab leaks. The kind of problems that can’t wait until Monday morning.
We also do installations: water heaters (tank and tankless), garbage disposals, sinks, faucets, toilets, and whole-home repiping when your galvanized pipes finally give out. In Rucker, CA and throughout Santa Clara County, older homes often need full replumbing as original systems reach end-of-life. We handle that.
Drain cleaning, leak detection, fixture upgrades, smart home plumbing integration—if it involves water coming in or going out of your home, we cover it. We work on both residential and commercial properties.
Bay Area homeowners are increasingly interested in water-saving fixtures and smart leak detectors, especially with California’s ongoing water costs and conservation requirements. We install low-flow toilets, tankless water heaters, and WiFi-enabled leak detection systems that alert you before a small drip becomes a $5,000 water damage claim.
For emergencies, we prioritize same-day service throughout Rucker, CA and Santa Clara County. If you call in the morning with a burst pipe or failed water heater, we’re typically there within a few hours.
For non-emergency work—like a dripping faucet or scheduled installation—we’ll give you a few options within the next day or two, depending on our schedule. We don’t make you wait a week for a simple repair.
The key difference is urgency. If water is actively flooding your home or you have no hot water in winter, that’s an emergency and we treat it like one. If it’s a minor annoyance you’ve been living with for a month, we’ll still get there fast, but it won’t jump ahead of someone dealing with a crisis.
First, stop the water if you can. Locate your main shutoff valve—usually near the water heater, in the garage, or outside near the meter—and turn it clockwise to close it. This stops water from flooding your home while you wait for help.
If it’s a single fixture (like a toilet or sink), you can often shut off the water at the valve directly below or behind that fixture. That way you’re not cutting water to your entire house.
Then call us. We answer our phones for emergencies, and we’ll walk you through anything else you need to do while we’re on the way. If it’s a water heater issue, don’t try to drain it yourself or mess with the gas or electrical connections—that’s where people get hurt. Just shut off the water supply to the heater and let us handle the rest when we arrive.
It depends entirely on what’s broken and what it takes to fix it. A simple drain cleaning might run $150–$300. Replacing a water heater can range from $1,200 to $3,500 depending on whether you’re going tank or tankless and what your home requires for installation.
We give you upfront pricing before we start any work. You’ll know what it costs, what’s included, and why—before we touch a wrench. No “we’ll see what we find” pricing that balloons into a four-figure surprise.
Emergency calls and after-hours service do cost more, because you’re paying for availability and speed. But we’re clear about that on the phone. If you’re comparing quotes, make sure you’re comparing the same scope of work—not all plumbers include the same level of service, warranty, or quality of parts. Cheaper isn’t always better when you’re paying to fix the same problem again six months later.
Yes. We warranty our labor, and the parts we install come with manufacturer warranties. If something we installed fails because of our workmanship, we come back and make it right at no additional cost.
The specifics depend on the job—some repairs carry a 90-day warranty, while major installations like water heaters or repiping come with longer coverage. We’ll tell you exactly what’s covered before you agree to the work.
What we don’t warranty is damage caused by things outside our control—like a pipe we didn’t touch that fails later, or a fixture you installed yourself that breaks down the line. But if we did the work and it fails because we didn’t do it right, that’s on us and we’ll fix it.
Yes. Every technician we send to your home in Rucker, CA is licensed, insured, and background-checked. California requires plumbers to hold a C-36 license for plumbing work, and we maintain full liability insurance and workers’ comp coverage.
That protects you. If something goes wrong during the job—if a pipe bursts during a repair or someone gets injured on your property—you’re not liable. Our insurance covers it.
It also means you’re working with someone who’s passed California’s licensing exams and meets continuing education requirements. Not every “plumber” operating in the Bay Area is actually licensed. Some are handymen or unlicensed contractors who’ll do the work cheaper—and leave you holding the bag when it fails inspection or causes damage. We’re not that.
Yes. We install smart leak detectors, WiFi-enabled water shutoff valves, tankless water heaters with app controls, and high-efficiency fixtures that integrate with home automation systems.
A lot of Bay Area homeowners are adding smart technology to catch leaks early—before a slow drip under the sink turns into $10,000 in water damage. These systems send alerts to your phone the moment they detect moisture, and some can automatically shut off your water supply to prevent flooding.
We also install low-flow smart faucets, dual-flush toilets, and tankless water heaters that reduce energy costs and qualify for rebates through local utility programs. If you’re upgrading your home and want plumbing that works with your existing smart home setup, we can integrate that. Just tell us what system you’re using and what you’re trying to accomplish.
