About Mr. Drain Plumbing in San Mateo, CA

If you notice unexplained drops in water pressure, new leaks, or signs of moisture after seismic activity, it's wise to have a professional inspection. Our team in San Mateo is experienced in assessing and repairing earthquake-related pipe damage. We use specialized diagnostic tools to locate hidden stress fractures or misalignments in your plumbing system that aren't always visible, helping to prevent costly water damage.

Absolutely. Kitchen grease clogs are a common issue we handle in San Mateo homes. While minor clogs might be cleared with a drain snake, persistent grease buildup often requires a more thorough solution like hydro-jetting. This service uses high-pressure water to scour the interior of your pipes, effectively removing solidified grease and restoring full flow, which is a more lasting fix than chemical drain cleaners.

Our technicians can help you make that decision. During an inspection, we'll check for signs like the age of your unit (typically over 10-12 years), persistent leaks around the tank, rust in your water, or an inability to maintain adequate hot water. For repairs, we service all major brands. If a replacement is the better long-term value, we handle the full installation, including proper disposal of your old unit, and can discuss options like energy-efficient models or recirculation pumps to improve performance.
