Andrew Notar Donato

My partner and I had a great experience getting a quote from our technician Josh Forti. He called me ahead of time, arrived precisely when he said he would, conducted a thorough inspection of our home, was completely transparent about the repair process, and had an overwhelmingly positive attitude, presence, and demeanor. I thoroughly look forward to working with him and would highly recommend this company if all techs are as good as Josh was to us.

Tee J

Carl the technician that was sent to our house was very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. He fixed our issue easily and provided us with information on how to prevent it from happening again. I'd highly recommend him personally to anyone needing any plumbing done in their house. Ty for great service

Michael

A lot of companies don’t recognize the importance of the initial contact. In our case it was Erica who was unbelievably pleasant and caring on the phone. Next, our technician Dave was courteous, competent and very easy to communicate with. Most importantly, the biggest impact he made on us at the end of the day was not the work he performed, rather he discovered an expensive gold bracelet in the trap of our bar sink and returned it to us promptly!

PJ Whiteley

Craig was very thorough and explained the bad news to me very nicely. I was shocked at the $5,000 price. So I asked perplexity how much to replace a grinding sump pump. I learned Craig gave me a fair price. I will use him again on my 6 rentals.

Joseph Odom

William White

Used them two times already my team leader Zizz that came out showed up earlier than time given. He was very professional and courteous. And very humorous!!!! Shawn & Christian was the Technician’s that came out to perform the work. They were both very professional and courteous. The work that was performed they made sure everything was in working order. They also made sure that everything was cleaned in the area of work. I would rate them a (6) out of (5) job well done!!!!!

Shawn Vallot

A great company from their office personnel to their field personnel. From the time I spoke to them the process was straight forward clear and concise. They even picked up my water heater from Home Depot. Very professional, a price you can’t beat. Alex and Trey got the job done in an efficient manner and even came back when I was having an issue and sorted it out no questions asked. Any time I have a plumbing issue this will be my go to company. I’ve dealt with a lot of others here in the Lafayette area but their attention for customer service can’t be best.

Plumbing FAQs

What routine maintenance should I be doing for my Santa Cruz water heater?

To keep your water heater running smoothly in Santa Cruz, it’s a good idea to flush the tank once a year to clear out sediment, especially if your area has hard water. Check the pressure relief valve, inspect for rust or leaks, and make sure the thermostat is set to a safe temperature (usually around 120°F). Regular maintenance helps extend the life of your unit and keeps your hot water flowing efficiently. For peace of mind, consider scheduling a professional inspection with a local plumber.

How do I know if I need a Santa Cruz plumber for my home's low water pressure?

If your water pressure suddenly drops or only affects certain fixtures in your Santa Cruz home, it could be a sign of a clogged pipe, leak, or a problem with your water supply. Try cleaning faucet aerators first, but if the issue persists, it’s best to call a licensed plumber in Santa Cruz to diagnose and fix the problem before it gets worse.

Do you offer emergency plumbing service in Santa Cruz?

We are available 24/7 to take your call for emergencies. Our appointment hours are listed above.

How often should I schedule drain cleaning for my Santa Cruz property?

For most homes in Santa Cruz, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups. If your property has older pipes, large trees nearby, or frequent slow drains, you may need service more often. Regular maintenance keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and protects your home from unexpected issues.For most homes in Santa Cruz, scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year helps prevent clogs, odors, and costly backups.

Do you offer plumbing financing in Santa Cruz?

We work built relationships with several lenders to ensure our customers are able to restore functionality in their homes. Ask your technician about your financing options.

Are there plumbing upgrades that can help conserve water in my Santa Cruz home?

Yes! Upgrading to low-flow toilets, water-saving showerheads, and high-efficiency faucets can significantly reduce water use in your Santa Cruz home. You can also install smart leak detectors and tankless water heaters for added efficiency. A local plumber can recommend the best options based on your home’s setup and water usage habits.

What are common plumbing issues in older Santa Cruz homes?

Older homes in Santa Cruz often face plumbing issues like corroded or outdated pipes, low water pressure, and frequent leaks. You might also encounter problems with old fixtures, sewer line deterioration, or poor drainage. A professional inspection can help identify hidden issues and recommend upgrades to keep your plumbing system safe and efficient.

What should I do to prepare my plumbing for winter in Santa Cruz?

To get your plumbing ready for winter in Santa Cruz, start by insulating exposed pipes, especially in unheated areas like basements and garages. Disconnect outdoor hoses, shut off exterior water lines, and check your water heater for optimal performance. It’s also smart to know where your main shut-off valve is in case of a frozen pipe emergency.

How can I tell if my sewer line is damaged in Santa Cruz?

Signs of a damaged sewer line in your CA home include frequent drain clogs, foul odors, soggy spots in your yard, and gurgling sounds from your toilets or drains.
