About City Front Plumbing in San Rafael, CA

Our plumbing inspection is a thorough assessment of your home's entire system. We check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect pipes for corrosion or damage (paying special attention to issues like copper pipe corrosion common in our area), evaluate fixtures and drains, and assess the water heater. For San Rafael residents, we also look for signs of drought-related pipe stress. The inspection provides a clear report with recommendations for any needed repairs or maintenance to keep your plumbing running smoothly and prevent costly problems.

We address these common local issues with proven, practical solutions. For drought pipe stress, caused by shifting soil during dry periods, we inspect for cracks or misalignments and may recommend pipe lining or replacement with flexible materials to withstand movement. For copper pipe corrosion, often due to our local water chemistry, we identify pinhole leaks or thinning pipes and can replace affected sections with corrosion-resistant alternatives like PEX or CPVC. Our long experience in Marin County means we're familiar with these patterns and can implement durable fixes tailored to San Rafael homes.

Yes, absolutely. Our team handles all phases of plumbing for remodels, from the initial rough-in—installing water supply lines, drain pipes, and vents within walls and floors—to the final trim installation, where we securely set fixtures like faucets, showers, and toilets. With over 40 years in the business, we ensure everything is correctly placed, leak-free, and up to code. We coordinate closely with your contractor or can manage the entire design-build process, making the plumbing portion seamless for your San Rafael home renovation.
