Common Questions

What should I do if I suspect earthquake damage to my pipes?

If you notice new leaks, damp spots on walls, or a drop in water pressure after seismic activity, it's wise to have a professional inspection. Goodfellow Plumbing is familiar with San Mateo's older housing stock and can assess for compromised fittings, galvanized pipe corrosion accelerated by shaking, or gas line issues. We provide thorough inspections and repairs using materials and methods suited for local seismic codes.

My kitchen sink is draining slowly. Could it be a grease clog common in San Mateo?

Yes, slow kitchen drains in our area are often due to grease buildup, which hardens in pipes over time. Instead of chemical drain cleaners, which can damage older plumbing, we recommend a professional drain cleaning service. Goodfellow Plumbing can effectively clear the clog and advise on best practices, like regularly using hot water and dish soap, to help prevent future issues.

I need a water heater replaced. What are my options in San Mateo?

We install both traditional tank and on-demand tankless water heaters. The best choice depends on your household's hot water usage, space, and budget. For San Mateo homes, we also consider local water quality and can recommend efficient models suited to our climate. We handle the full installation, including any necessary permits and upgrades to gas lines or venting, ensuring a safe and reliable system.
