About Marathon Plumbing in San Jose, CA

San Jose's hard water can lead to significant scaling and corrosion, especially in older plumbing. We address this by installing water softeners to treat the source, performing thorough descaling of fixtures and appliances, and recommending durable PEX or copper piping for replacements that resist mineral buildup. For aging infrastructure, we offer comprehensive inspections to identify weak points and provide solutions like spot repairs or full repipes to prevent costly failures and improve your home's water quality and pressure.

Our plumbing inspection is a detailed assessment of your home's entire system. We check for leaks, test water pressure, inspect water heaters for efficiency and safety, examine drains and sewer lines for blockages or damage, and evaluate pipes for corrosion—particularly important given our area's hard water. We provide a clear, written report with photos and honest recommendations, helping you prioritize repairs or plan preventative maintenance to avoid emergencies and protect your San Jose home.

Yes, we are fully equipped to manage both critical systems. For gas lines, we perform safe installations and repairs for appliances, ensuring all work meets strict local codes to protect your household. For sewer lines, we use camera inspections to accurately diagnose issues like root intrusion or breaks, followed by trenchless repair methods when possible to minimize disruption to your San Jose property. Handling both allows us to provide a complete solution for your home's underground utility needs.
