Water Heater FAQs

  • How can I tell if I have a sewer line problem?

    Warning signs include foul smells, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds, or sewage backups. If you’re in Danville, San Ramon, or any nearby area, call us for a diagnostic inspection.


Homeowner Plumbing Questions

  • Can you handle plumbing for remodels or new construction?

    Definitely. We work with homeowners, contractors, and designers to install complete plumbing systems for kitchens, bathrooms, and full remodels.

  • Do you offer maintenance plans?

    Yes, we offer affordable maintenance packages that include annual inspections, priority service, and discounts on repairs. Great for homes in Alamo, Lafayette, and beyond.


Trenchless Sewer Replacement

  • What is trenchless sewer replacement?

    Trenchless sewer replacement is a no-dig method used to repair or replace underground sewer pipes without tearing up your yard, driveway, or foundation. It's faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective than traditional digging methods.

  • Do you offer trenchless sewer replacement for commercial buildings too?

    Yes. We provide trenchless solutions for both residential homes and commercial properties throughout the East Bay, including Concord, Danville, and Walnut Creek.


ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit) Plumbing

    We handle full ADU plumbing installations, including new water lines, sewer connections, fixture setup, water heaters, and inspections — all according to California building code.

  • Can you install separate water meters for ADUs?

    Yes, we can install separate meters or sub-meters if required by your city’s building codes or utility company.


Hydro jetting

  • What is hydro jetting and when should it be used?

    Hydro jetting is a high-pressure water cleaning method that clears grease, sludge, roots, and buildup from your pipes. It’s ideal for clogged drains, restaurant grease lines, and recurring sewer issues.

  • Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?

    In most cases, yes — but we’ll inspect your pipes first to ensure they can handle the pressure. If not, we’ll recommend an alternative solution.


Leak Detection

  • How do you find hidden water leaks?

    We use advanced electronic leak detection equipment and thermal imaging to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under floors, or underground without unnecessary demolition.

  • What are signs I may have a hidden leak?

    Sudden spikes in your water bill, mold or mildew, warped flooring, and the sound of running water when everything is off are common signs.


Gas Line Repair & Replacement

  • Do you repair gas leaks?

    Yes, we’re fully licensed to detect, repair, and replace gas lines. If you smell gas or suspect a leak, call us immediately — it's a serious safety issue.

  • Can you install new gas lines for outdoor kitchens or appliances?

    Absolutely. We install and reroute gas lines for BBQs, patio heaters, water heaters, stoves, and fireplaces.
