Complex Projects Done Right

You need a plumber who actually has the equipment and expertise for your specific project. Not someone who’ll wing it or charge you double because they don’t really know what they’re doing.

We specialize in the projects other plumbers avoid. ADU plumbing installations. Underground construction that requires real excavation equipment. Sewer line repairs that need trenchless technology.

When you call us, you’re getting a three-person crew that’s been handling complex plumbing work since 2007. We have the tools, the experience, and the honest pricing approach that makes us the first choice for your second opinion.

Honest Assessment, Fair Price, Quality Work

First, we come out and actually look at your project. No phone estimates or ballpark guesses. We assess what needs to be done, what equipment it requires, and what a fair price looks like.

Then we give you a straight answer. If you’ve gotten estimates that seem inflated, we’ll tell you what the work should actually cost. If those estimates were reasonable, we’ll tell you that too.

Once you decide to move forward, our crew shows up with the proper equipment. Excavation tools for underground work. Trenchless technology for sewer repairs. Whatever your project actually requires, not makeshift solutions that create bigger problems later.

Drain Cleaning Service Lick

What We Actually Specialize In

Our bread and butter is complex plumbing work. ADU installations where you need underground connections and proper permits. Sewer line repairs using trenchless methods that don’t destroy your landscaping.

We handle emergency plumber calls too, especially main sewer line issues that require our specialized equipment. Water heater repairs and replacements. Commercial plumbing services for businesses that need reliable contractors.

The common thread is that we take on projects that require real expertise and proper equipment. If you need basic fixture repairs or simple drain cleaning, we can handle it. But where we really shine is the complicated stuff that makes other plumbers nervous.

How much does ADU plumbing installation cost in Lick?

ADU plumbing costs vary significantly based on your specific situation. Distance from the main house, soil conditions, and local permit requirements all affect pricing. Most ADU plumbing projects in our area run between $8,000 and $15,000, but we’ve seen quotes from other contractors that were double that amount. The key is getting an honest assessment from someone who actually does this type of work regularly and has the proper excavation equipment. We’ll give you a realistic estimate based on what the project actually requires, not inflated pricing because it’s unfamiliar work.

What's the difference between trenchless sewer repair and traditional methods?

Traditional sewer line repair means digging up your entire yard, driveway, or landscaping to access the damaged pipe. Trenchless repair uses specialized equipment to fix or replace pipes through small access points, preserving most of your property. The trenchless method typically costs more upfront but saves you thousands in landscaping restoration costs. It’s also much faster – usually completed in a day or two instead of a week-long excavation project. Not every situation qualifies for trenchless repair, but when it’s possible, it’s almost always the better choice for homeowners.

Do you provide emergency plumber services in Lick?

Yes, we handle emergency plumbing calls, particularly for issues that require our specialized equipment. Main sewer line backups, significant water heater failures, and underground pipe breaks are the types of emergencies we’re best equipped to handle. We’re not the fastest option for basic emergencies like clogged toilets or minor leaks – there are other plumbers who focus specifically on rapid response service calls. But if your emergency involves complex underground issues or requires excavation equipment, we’re probably your best bet for getting it fixed right the first time.

Why are your prices different from other plumbing contractors?

Our pricing reflects the actual cost of doing quality work with proper equipment and experienced crews. We’re often less expensive than initial estimates because we specialize in complex projects and have the right tools for the job. Other contractors might inflate prices for unfamiliar work or because they’ll need to rent equipment they don’t own. We’re also not the cheapest option – quality materials, proper permits, and experienced labor cost more than cut-rate alternatives. Our goal is fair pricing for quality work, which often means we’re the reasonable middle ground between overpriced estimates and suspiciously cheap quotes.

What areas do you serve for plumbing services?

We primarily serve Santa Clara County, including Lick and surrounding communities. Our service area is determined by our ability to provide quality service with our specialized equipment and three-person crew. We’re not trying to cover the entire Bay Area – we focus on areas where we can respond effectively and maintain our quality standards. For complex projects like ADU installations or major underground work, we’ll travel further within the county because these projects justify the trip and timeline. For smaller service calls, we stay closer to our home base to keep costs reasonable for everyone.

How long do complex plumbing projects typically take?

Timeline depends entirely on project complexity and permit requirements. Simple sewer line repairs using trenchless methods usually take 1-2 days. ADU plumbing installations typically require 3-5 days of actual work, but permitting and inspections can extend the overall timeline to 2-3 weeks. Underground plumbing construction varies widely based on soil conditions, depth requirements, and access challenges. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront, including permit processing time. The advantage of working with specialists is that we can predict potential delays and plan accordingly, rather than discovering problems mid-project that extend timelines unexpectedly.
