Our Plumbing Services in Burlingame
Emergency Plumbing Repairs
Woke up to a flooded basement in Ray Park? Toilet overflow in your Broadway office? We’re available for any 24/7 plumbing emergency to respond quickly. Burlingame’s older homes can spring surprises—leaks, burst pipes, or failed pressure regulators.
Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal
Slow drains and backups are common in Burlingame kitchens, especially where cast iron pipes or older grease traps exist. We clear stubborn clogs using snaking, high-pressure water, and camera inspections to ensure the problem doesn’t return.
Hydro Jetting for Sewer Lines
Hydro jetting clears out years of gunk, roots, and debris. This is especially useful in Burlingame homes with tree-lined yards or clay sewer pipes that trap sludge and scale.
Sewer Inspection & Replacement
Sewer issues often show up as gurgling sounds, foul odors, or lawn sinkholes. We inspect with cameras, map underground routes, and offer trenchless sewer replacement when possible—preserving landscaping and hardscapes.
Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair
Many Burlingame homes are built on concrete slabs—leaks here require special tools and precision. We use acoustic and infrared technology to detect underground leaks without guesswork.
Tankless & Standard Water Heater Services
If you’re tired of running out of hot water—or want to save energy—we install tankless water heaters that fit your home’s water usage and layout. For larger families, we also install 50–75 gallon tank systems.
Whole-House Repiping
If your home has corroded galvanized or copper lines, it’s time for a full repipe. We upgrade your pipes to copper or PEX—boosting water clarity, pressure, and system longevity.
Toilet Repair & Fixture Upgrades
We repair leaky flappers, silent fill valves, and install efficient, quiet toilets that match your style and water-saving goals. Our work is HOA and ADA-compliant, and we clean up before we leave.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
If you’re worried about your front yard or driveway being torn apart—don’t be. We offer trenchless sewer repair using pipe bursting and epoxy lining for fast, minimally invasive solutions.
