California Plumbing - Palo Alto's Emergency Plumbing Company

Given the age of many Palo Alto homes and the potential for soil conditions to contribute to corrosion, a professional inspection is vital for safety. Our technicians check for signs of corrosion, leaks, or improper connections in gas lines that are not always visible or detectable by smell. This proactive measure helps prevent dangerous gas leaks and ensures your home's heating and appliance systems operate safely and efficiently.

Slow-draining bathroom sinks and showers are a common issue here, often caused by a combination of soap scum, hair, and hard water mineral deposits. A detailed plumbing inspection allows us to use camera technology to locate the exact point and cause of the blockage within your pipes. We can then recommend the most effective solution, whether it's a professional hydro-jetting to clear the line or advice on preventative habits to keep your drains flowing freely.

Our standard inspection for Palo Alto homes is a comprehensive health check for your entire plumbing system. It includes checking for leaks at all visible fixtures and pipes, testing water pressure, inspecting water heaters for corrosion and efficiency, examining drain flow and potential blockages, and assessing the condition of exposed pipes for corrosion—especially critical for older gas lines. We provide a clear, written report with findings and prioritized recommendations for any maintenance or repairs needed.
