You’re not looking for a plumber because everything’s going great. Something’s leaking, backing up, or just stopped working entirely. Maybe it’s the water heater that quit during your morning shower, or you’ve got a wet spot on the floor that shouldn’t be there.
What you need is someone who shows up when they say they will, figures out what’s actually wrong, and fixes it right the first time. Not someone who makes it worse or leaves you waiting three days for a callback.
Our plumbing services in Sunnyvale cover the full range—drain cleaning, pipe repairs, water heater replacements, leak detection, and emergency fixes when things go sideways at 2 a.m. The goal isn’t just stopping the immediate problem. It’s making sure you’re not dealing with the same issue again in six months because someone took shortcuts.
All Fresh Temp started in 1985 as a family business, and it’s still family-owned today. We’ve been in Sunnyvale long enough to know which neighborhoods have slab leak issues because of the clay soil, which older homes along El Camino Real are dealing with corroded pipes, and what actually works when the problem isn’t obvious.
We’re licensed, bonded, and insured—not because it sounds good in an ad, but because that’s what protects you if something goes wrong. Our techs aren’t subcontractors bouncing between companies. They’re trained, experienced, and they’re not trying to upsell you on things you don’t need.
Sunnyvale’s changed a lot since the ’80s, but the plumbing problems haven’t. Pipes still burst. Water heaters still fail. And when they do, you need someone who knows what they’re doing and treats your home like it matters.
You call or message us with the problem. We ask a few questions to understand what’s happening—not to waste your time, but so we show up with the right tools and parts.
We schedule a time that actually works for you, and we show up in that window. No “sometime between 8 and 5” nonsense. When we get there, we assess what’s going on. Sometimes it’s obvious. Sometimes it takes diagnostic equipment—thermal imaging for hidden leaks, camera inspections for drains, pressure tests for pipes.
Before we do anything, we explain what we found and what it’ll cost to fix. Upfront. In writing. If you approve, we get to work. If the fix is straightforward, we handle it same-day. If it’s more involved—like a slab leak under your foundation or a full water heater replacement—we walk you through the timeline and what to expect.
Once the job’s done, we test everything to make sure it’s working properly. We clean up. And we make sure you know what we did and why, so there’s no confusion later.

We handle emergency plumbing when something breaks in the middle of the night—burst pipes, sewer backups, major leaks that can’t wait. We’re available 24/7 because water damage doesn’t keep business hours.
For water heaters, we repair and replace both tank and tankless systems. If yours is over 10 years old and acting up, we’ll tell you whether a repair makes sense or if you’re just delaying the inevitable. Sunnyvale homes built before 1990 often have older units that are overdue for replacement.
Slab leak detection is a big one here. The clay soil in parts of Sunnyvale expands and contracts, which puts pressure on copper pipes under your foundation. We use non-invasive detection methods—acoustic sensors, thermal imaging—to pinpoint the leak without tearing up your entire floor.
We also handle drain cleaning, pipe repairs, faucet and toilet fixes, and outdoor spigot leaks that spike your water bill during summer. If it involves water coming in or going out of your home, we’ve probably fixed it a hundred times.
For true emergencies—burst pipes, major leaks, sewer backups—we aim to be there within an hour, sometimes faster depending on where you are in Sunnyvale and what else is happening that day. We’re available 24/7, which means you’re not waiting until Monday morning if something breaks on a Saturday night.
When you call, we’ll ask what’s happening so we can prioritize. A slow drain can wait a few hours. A pipe spraying water into your living room can’t. We’re not going to make you feel bad for calling at 3 a.m.—that’s why we offer emergency service.
If it’s not an emergency but still urgent—like a water heater that just quit—we’ll typically get you on the schedule same-day or next-day. We keep our calendar flexible enough to handle the unexpected without pushing everyone else back a week.
It depends entirely on what’s broken and what it takes to fix it. A simple faucet repair might run $150-$300. A water heater replacement could be $1,200-$3,500 depending on whether you’re going tank or tankless. Slab leak repairs vary widely based on location and access—anywhere from $500 to several thousand if we’re cutting through concrete.
We give you a written estimate before we start any work. No surprises, no “oh by the way” charges after the fact. If we find something unexpected once we’re into the job, we stop and talk to you about it before moving forward.
The cheapest quote isn’t always the best deal. If someone’s significantly undercutting everyone else, they’re either cutting corners, using subpar materials, or they’ll hit you with add-ons later. We price fairly for quality work that lasts, and we’re upfront about what you’re paying for.
Your water bill jumps for no reason. You hear water running when nothing’s on. There’s a warm or wet spot on your floor, or you notice cracks in your foundation that weren’t there before. Sometimes the water pressure drops, or you get mold or mildew in places that should be dry.
Slab leaks are common in Sunnyvale because of the clay soil. It shifts with weather changes, putting pressure on pipes buried under your foundation. Older homes are especially vulnerable if they have copper piping that’s been underground for decades.
If you suspect a slab leak, don’t wait. The longer it goes, the more damage it does—not just to your foundation, but to your flooring, walls, and anything else water can reach. We use electronic leak detection and thermal imaging to find the exact location without ripping up your entire house. Once we know where it is, we can give you options for repair that make sense for your situation and budget.
Yes, for most repairs. If you call in the morning with a leaking pipe, clogged drain, or broken water heater, we’ll typically get someone out the same day. We stock our trucks with common parts so we’re not making multiple trips or telling you we need to order something that won’t arrive for a week.
There are exceptions. If it’s a complex job that requires permits, specialized equipment, or parts we don’t keep on hand, it might take a day or two to get everything lined up. We’ll tell you that upfront so you’re not left guessing.
Same-day service doesn’t mean rushed work. It means we’re efficient, we know what we’re doing, and we respect that you don’t want a plumber camped out in your house for three days. We get in, fix the problem correctly, and get out so you can get back to your life.
If it’s under eight years old and the repair is minor—a faulty thermostat, a worn valve—fixing it usually makes sense. If it’s over ten years old, leaking from the tank itself, or this is the third repair in two years, replacement is the smarter move.
Water heaters don’t last forever. The typical lifespan is 8-12 years for tank models. Once they start failing, repairs become a temporary bandage. You’ll spend $300 here, $400 there, and then six months later it dies completely and you’re replacing it anyway—except now you’ve also paid for repairs that didn’t extend its life.
We’ll inspect your current unit, tell you how old it is, what’s wrong with it, and give you an honest recommendation. If a repair buys you another few years, we’ll say so. If you’re throwing money at something that’s on its last legs, we’ll tell you that too. Tankless systems are also an option if you want something more energy-efficient and space-saving, though the upfront cost is higher.
Yes. We’re fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform plumbing work in Sunnyvale and throughout the Bay Area. That’s not just a legal requirement—it’s protection for you if something goes wrong during the job.
A licensed plumber has passed exams, met experience requirements, and is accountable to the state licensing board. If we damage something or the work doesn’t meet code, you have recourse. If you hire someone without a license and they flood your house or do substandard work, you’re on your own.
Insurance matters too. If a tech gets hurt on your property and they’re not insured, you could be liable. Our insurance covers our team and protects you from that risk. We’re happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance before we start any job—you should ask for it from anyone working on your home.
