Complete Plumbing Services Available

Specialized Work, Professional Results

This isn’t your typical drain cleaning service call. Fix-it Plumbing handles the projects that require real expertise and professional equipment.

ADU plumbing construction is our specialty, from initial underground connections to complete bathroom and kitchen installations. Sewer line repair work includes both traditional excavation and trenchless plumbing options depending on your property’s needs. Water heater repair and replacement covers both residential and commercial applications.

Emergency plumber services are available for urgent issues like main line backups or major leaky pipe repair situations. We also handle commercial plumbing services for businesses throughout Los Altos Hills and surrounding areas. Every project gets the same attention to detail and commitment to fair pricing that built our company’s reputation over 17 years.

How much does ADU plumbing typically cost in Los Altos Hills?

ADU plumbing costs vary significantly based on the complexity of your connection to existing systems and the distance from your main house. A simple studio ADU with basic plumbing might run $8,000-$15,000, while a full two-bedroom unit with complete kitchen and bathroom systems could reach $20,000-$35,000. The biggest cost factors are usually the sewer line connection and whether underground work requires excavation through landscaping or hardscaping. We provide detailed estimates that break down these costs so you understand exactly what drives the pricing.

Do you offer trenchless sewer line repair or just traditional excavation?

Both options are available, and the choice depends on your specific situation and budget. Trenchless plumbing methods like pipe lining or pipe bursting work well when the existing line has good access points and the damage isn’t too extensive. Traditional excavation becomes necessary when the line has collapsed, has major root intrusion, or needs to be rerouted. The trenchless approach typically costs more upfront but saves money on landscaping restoration. During the assessment, you’ll get recommendations for which method makes the most sense for your property and budget.

How quickly can you respond to emergency plumber calls?

Emergency response time depends on our current schedule and the nature of the emergency. For true emergencies like main sewer line backups or major water leaks, we prioritize same-day or next-day service when possible. Keep in mind that as a specialized contractor focused on complex projects, our emergency plumber services are typically reserved for situations that require professional equipment or expertise beyond basic drain cleaning. For simple clogs or minor repairs, you might get faster service from a general plumbing company, but for serious underground issues or system failures, our specialized equipment and experience make the wait worthwhile.

What makes your pricing more fair than other plumbers in the area?

Our “first choice for your second opinion” approach means we regularly see quotes from other contractors, so we understand the local market pricing. Rather than maximizing profit on every job, our focus is on competitive pricing that reflects the actual work involved. This is particularly important for complex projects where some contractors inflate prices because they don’t want the job or lack the proper equipment. With professional excavation tools and nearly 20 years of experience, we can often complete projects more efficiently than competitors, passing those savings along to customers while still delivering superior results.

Can you handle both residential and commercial plumbing projects?

Yes, we work on both residential and commercial plumbing services throughout Los Altos Hills and Santa Clara County. Our residential work includes everything from ADU construction to water heater repair and sewer line replacement. Commercial projects often involve more complex underground systems, larger-scale installations, and coordination with other contractors. Our three-person crew and professional equipment handle projects of various sizes, though we particularly excel at complex jobs that require excavation or specialized techniques rather than routine maintenance calls.

How do I know if my plumbing project requires excavation equipment?

Several situations typically require professional excavation equipment: sewer line repairs more than 4 feet underground, new connections for ADUs or additions, water heater installations in difficult locations, and any underground plumbing that runs under driveways, patios, or mature landscaping. If you’re dealing with recurring drain problems, slow drainage throughout the house, or sewage odors in your yard, the issue likely involves underground lines that need excavation to access properly. During the initial assessment, we can determine whether the project requires our specialized trench cutting equipment or if simpler methods will work.
