Hear from Our Customers
You’re not wondering if that slow drain is about to become a flood. You’re not calling three different plumbing contractors in Saratoga trying to find someone who’ll actually pick up the phone on a Saturday. You’re not dealing with a water heater that quits in the middle of your morning routine.
When your plumbing works the way it should, your day just happens. No stress about whether that pipe under the sink is leaking into your subflooring. No panic when you hear water running somewhere it shouldn’t be.
That’s what you get with a local plumber in Saratoga who knows these homes. Most properties here were built in the 60s and 70s, and they’ve got plumbing systems that need someone who understands how they were put together and what typically goes wrong. We’ve been doing this work since 1985, so we’ve seen what happens when shortcuts get taken and what it takes to fix things properly.
Your home is likely worth over a million dollars. The plumbing protecting it should be handled like it matters.
We’ve been serving Santa Clara County since 1985. That’s nearly 40 years of working in homes like yours, dealing with the same plumbing challenges you’re facing right now.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured because that’s not optional when you’re working in Saratoga. Your home is a significant investment, and the last thing you need is someone cutting corners or learning on the job. Our technicians know what they’re looking at when they open up a wall or crawl under a house.
We started as an HVAC company, and we still do that work. But plumbing services in Saratoga became a natural extension because the two systems affect each other more than most people realize. When you’ve got a water heater issue or a leak near your furnace, it helps to have someone who understands both sides.
You’ll find cheaper options. You’ll also find out why they’re cheaper, usually right around the time something breaks again or the bill suddenly doubles.
First, you reach an actual person who can usually get someone to your home the same day. If it’s an emergency, we move faster. We’re not going to make you wait three days for a callback while water is actively damaging your house.
When our plumber arrives in Saratoga, they’ll assess what’s going on and explain it in plain terms. Not plumber-speak. Not a sales pitch for services you don’t need. Just a clear explanation of the problem and what it takes to fix it. You’ll get upfront pricing before any work starts, so there’s no surprise bill at the end.
Then we fix it. Depending on what’s wrong, that might mean clearing a drain, repairing a pipe, replacing a water heater, or handling a leak that’s been hiding behind a wall. We use the right parts and the right methods, not whatever’s fastest or cheapest in the moment.
After the work is done, we clean up and walk you through what we did. If there’s something you should keep an eye on or maintain going forward, we’ll tell you. If everything’s solid, we’ll tell you that too.
The goal is simple: you called because something wasn’t working, and when we leave, it works.

We cover the full range of residential plumbing. That includes drain cleaning when your kitchen or bathroom sink won’t drain properly, pipe repairs when you’ve got a leak, and water heater services whether you need a repair, replacement, or want to switch to a tankless system.
Emergency plumbing is a big part of what we do. Burst pipes, major leaks, backed-up sewer lines—these don’t wait for business hours. When you’ve got water going somewhere it shouldn’t, you need someone who can respond right away, not Monday morning.
Saratoga homes often need leak detection services because many properties sit on larger lots with older plumbing systems. A slab leak or hidden pipe issue can waste thousands of gallons before you even notice. We use modern detection technology to find problems without tearing apart your home unnecessarily.
We also handle fixture installations, repiping projects, and general plumbing maintenance. If you’re remodeling a kitchen or bathroom, we can handle the plumbing side. If your whole system is aging and you’re tired of constant repairs, we can talk through what a repipe looks like and whether it makes sense for your situation.
The common thread is that we’re not here to upsell you. If a repair makes sense, we’ll repair it. If replacement is the smarter move, we’ll explain why.
Plumbers in this area typically charge between $45 and $200 per hour depending on the complexity of the work and whether it’s an emergency call. You’re going to pay more for a burst pipe at 2 a.m. than you will for a scheduled drain cleaning on a Tuesday afternoon.
What matters more than the hourly rate is the total cost and whether you’re getting a fair price for the actual work being done. Some companies charge a lower rate but pad the job with unnecessary services or parts. Others quote one price and then hit you with fees you didn’t know about.
We give you upfront pricing before we start. That means you know what it’s going to cost, and that number doesn’t change unless the scope of work changes. If we open up a wall and find something unexpected, we’ll stop and talk to you before doing anything that affects the price.
For most common repairs—fixing a leak, clearing a drain, replacing a valve—you’re looking at a few hundred dollars. Bigger jobs like water heater replacement or repiping sections of your home will run higher, but those are also jobs that need to be done right or you’ll be paying for them again soon.
Yes. Plumbing emergencies don’t respect your schedule, and we don’t pretend they do.
If you’ve got a situation that can’t wait—water pouring into your house, a backed-up sewer line, a water heater that just failed—we’ll get someone to you as quickly as possible. That includes nights, weekends, and holidays.
Emergency rates are higher than standard rates because you’re pulling a technician away from their time off and asking them to respond immediately. That’s fair, and we’re transparent about what those rates are. But when you’re dealing with active water damage or a plumbing failure that’s making your home unlivable, the cost of waiting is usually much higher than the cost of the emergency call.
For non-emergency work, we also offer weekend appointments because we know most people in Saratoga have busy schedules during the week. If your drain is slow but not backing up, or you want someone to look at a fixture that’s acting weird, we can usually schedule that for a weekend at standard rates.
First, stop the water if you can. If it’s a burst pipe or a major leak, find your main water shutoff valve and turn it off. Most homes in Saratoga have the shutoff near the water meter or where the main line enters the house. If you don’t know where yours is, find it now before you need it.
If it’s a localized issue—like a toilet overflowing or a sink leak—you can usually shut off the water to just that fixture using the valve underneath or behind it. Turn it clockwise until it stops.
Once the water is off, call us. Don’t wait to see if it gets worse, and don’t try to DIY a repair on something that’s actively flooding your home. The longer water sits, the more damage it does to your floors, walls, and foundation.
Move anything valuable away from the water if you can do it safely. Take photos of the damage for your insurance if it’s significant. Then let us handle the actual plumbing repair.
If you can’t find the shutoff or can’t get the water to stop, get out of the area and call us immediately. We’ll walk you through it or get someone there fast.
Most water heaters last 8 to 12 years depending on the type, how hard your water is, and how well they’ve been maintained. If yours is in that range and starting to act up, replacement is probably smarter than repair.
Signs that replacement makes sense: the water isn’t getting as hot as it used to, you’re running out of hot water faster than normal, you see rust-colored water coming from your hot taps, or there’s moisture or pooling water around the base of the tank. That last one usually means the tank is corroding from the inside and a leak is coming soon.
Strange noises—popping, banging, rumbling—often mean sediment has built up inside the tank. Sometimes that can be flushed out, but if the heater is older, it’s usually a sign that it’s near the end of its life.
If you’re repairing the same water heater multiple times in a short period, you’re throwing money away. A new water heater costs more upfront, but it’s more efficient, more reliable, and you’re not dealing with constant breakdowns.
Tankless water heaters are also an option worth considering. They cost more to install, but they last longer, take up less space, and you never run out of hot water. For larger homes in Saratoga, that can make a real difference.
Yes, we provide free estimates for most plumbing projects. If you know you need a water heater replaced, want to repipe part of your home, or have a project you’re planning, we’ll come out and give you a clear price for what that work will cost.
For service calls where we need to diagnose the problem first—like a leak you can’t locate or a drain that’s not working right—there’s a service call fee to cover the time and expertise to figure out what’s wrong. But that fee typically applies toward the repair if you decide to move forward with us.
We’re not going to show up, spend 10 minutes looking at your plumbing, and then hand you a bill for $200 without fixing anything. The service call covers the diagnostic work, and then you get a clear price for the actual repair. If it’s something simple that we can fix on the spot, we’ll do it and you’ll know the cost before we start.
What we don’t do is give ballpark estimates over the phone for repairs. Every home is different, and plumbing issues that sound the same can have very different causes. We need to see what’s actually going on before we can give you an accurate price.
The estimate process is straightforward: you describe the issue or project, we schedule a time to come look at it, and we give you a written price. No pressure, no games.
Yes. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform plumbing work throughout Santa Clara County, including Saratoga.
That’s not just a box we check—it’s protection for you. If something goes wrong during a repair, if there’s accidental damage to your property, or if someone gets hurt on the job, our insurance covers it. You’re not left holding the bill or dealing with a legal mess.
A license means we’ve met the state’s requirements for training, experience, and knowledge. It also means we’re accountable to the California Contractors State License Board. If we do substandard work or act unethically, there’s a formal process to address it. That accountability matters when you’re letting someone into your home and trusting them with major systems.
Plenty of unlicensed people will offer to do plumbing work for less money. Some of them might even do decent work. But when something goes wrong—and in plumbing, things go wrong—you have no recourse. No insurance to cover damage. No license board to file a complaint with. Just a mess and a bill to fix whatever they broke.
We’ve been doing this since 1985. We’re not going anywhere, and our reputation matters to us. That’s worth more than saving a few bucks with someone you found on Craigslist.
