How fast can a plumber get to my emergency?

Our emergency plumbers typically arrive within 1–2 hours in the Palo Alto metro area. We're available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call immediately if you have active flooding or a gas leak.

What should I do while waiting for the plumber?

Turn off the water main valve (usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home). If there's a gas leak, leave the house and call 911. Place towels or buckets to catch water and move valuables away from affected areas.

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Drain cleaning in Palo Alto typically costs $125–$500. A single clogged drain costs $125–$250 to clear. Main sewer line cleaning with hydro-jetting runs $250–$500. We provide upfront pricing before starting.

What causes drains to clog in Palo Alto homes?

The most common causes are grease and food buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines. Palo Alto's mature tree canopy — especially older neighborhoods like Land Park, East Palo Alto, and Curtis Park — makes root intrusion particularly prevalent.

How much does water heater replacement cost?

Water heater replacement in Palo Alto costs $1,200–$4,500 depending on the type. Standard tank water heaters run $1,200–$2,500, tankless models $2,500–$4,500. Heat pump water heaters qualify for SMUD rebates up to $4,000.

What SMUD rebates are available for water heaters?

SMUD offers up to $4,000 in rebates for heat pump water heater installation. Combined with federal tax credits, you could save $4,000–$6,000 on an energy-efficient upgrade. We handle all rebate paperwork.

Great experience with Andres. Called for service with a toilet seat replacement with difficult anchor removal. They were able to come the next morning and complete the replacement quickly. He gave me a fair price for the work. Would absolutely work with them again for plumbing needs.
