Complete Plumbing Services You Actually Need

Our full service plumbing covers everything from fixing a leaky faucet to installing complete ADU plumbing systems. We handle emergency calls, but we really shine on the complex projects that require specialized equipment and experience.

That includes trenchless sewer repair and replacement, commercial plumbing services for local businesses, and water pressure regulator installations. We’re the team property owners call when they need underground plumbing construction or when their main line needs professional attention.

Every job gets the same approach: honest assessment, fair pricing, and work that lasts. Whether you’re dealing with a plumbing emergency or planning a major project, you get experienced contractors who understand both the technical requirements and the local conditions here in Santa Clara County.

How much does trenchless sewer repair cost compared to traditional excavation?

Trenchless sewer repair typically costs 20-30% more upfront than traditional dig-and-replace methods, but you save significantly on landscape restoration, concrete replacement, and cleanup. Most homeowners in Santa Clara County find the total project cost comparable once you factor in repairing driveways, landscaping, and other surfaces. The bigger advantage is time – trenchless methods usually take 1-2 days instead of a week, and you don’t lose your yard or driveway in the process. We assess each situation individually because sometimes traditional excavation is actually the better choice depending on your property and the extent of damage.

What plumbing permits do I need for ADU construction in Santa Clara County?

ADU plumbing requires separate permits from Santa Clara County, and the requirements vary depending on whether you’re adding a new connection to the main sewer line or tying into existing systems. Most ADUs need permits for new water supply lines, waste lines, and gas connections if you’re installing a water heater or other gas appliances. We handle the permit applications as part of our ADU plumbing service because we know the local requirements and inspection process. The key is getting everything planned and permitted before we start digging – it saves time and prevents costly changes during construction.

How quickly can you respond to plumbing emergencies in Rucker?

We typically respond to emergency plumber calls within 2-4 hours during business hours and within 4-6 hours for after-hours emergencies. True emergencies – like main sewer line backups, major water leaks, or complete loss of water pressure – get priority response. We carry the equipment needed for most emergency repairs on our trucks, including hydro-jetting equipment for serious clogs and tools for temporary repairs that keep your plumbing functional until we can complete permanent fixes. Our three-person crew means we can handle complex emergency situations that single-operator plumbers can’t manage effectively.

What's the difference between hydro-jetting and regular drain cleaning?

Regular drain cleaning with snakes or augers punches a hole through clogs but leaves buildup on pipe walls. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the inside of your pipes, removing grease, scale, and debris that causes recurring clogs. It’s particularly effective for main sewer lines and commercial plumbing where heavy use creates stubborn blockages. Hydro-jetting costs more than basic drain cleaning, but it lasts much longer – often 2-3 years instead of 6-12 months. We recommend it for chronic clog problems or before trenchless sewer repairs to ensure the new liner adheres properly to clean pipe walls.

How do I know if I need water heater repair or replacement?

Most water heaters in Santa Clara County last 8-12 years depending on water quality and maintenance. Signs you need replacement include rusty water, strange noises, leaks around the base, or inconsistent water temperature. If your unit is over 10 years old and having problems, replacement usually makes more sense than repair. However, newer units with minor issues like faulty thermostats or heating elements are often worth repairing. We assess each situation honestly – sometimes a $200 repair gives you 2-3 more years, and sometimes you’re better off investing in a new, more efficient unit. Water heater installation typically takes 3-4 hours for standard replacements.

What should I look for when getting multiple plumbing estimates?

Good estimates break down labor, materials, and permits separately so you understand what you’re paying for. Be wary of estimates that are significantly higher or lower than others without clear explanations. Ask about licensing, insurance, and whether the price includes cleanup and permit fees. For complex work like sewer line replacement or ADU plumbing, make sure the contractor has the right equipment and experience – not all plumbers can handle excavation or trenchless repairs. Most importantly, trust your gut about communication and professionalism. The cheapest bid often costs more in the long run, but the most expensive isn’t automatically the best either.
