Common questions
Are the plumbers licensed?
We connect you with independent licensed, insured plumbers. California requires a CSLB license (C-36) for plumbing jobs of $500 or more — and we recommend verifying any license at cslb.ca.gov before work begins; see our guide.
Do you handle both small and large jobs in Kensington?
Yes — from a running toilet or slow drain to repipes, sewer replacements and slab leak repairs. If it's plumbing, one call gets it in front of the right local pro.
How fast can someone get to Kensington?
Response times depend on provider participation, location, technician availability, and demand. Emergency calls are prioritized; when you call, we tell you honestly what's available for Kensington right now.
Is hard water a problem in Kensington?
Much of inland Contra Costa County has mineral-rich water. Scale builds up in water heaters, on fixtures, and inside tankless heat exchangers. Regular flushing — and in some homes a softener or conditioner — extends equipment life.
What causes slab leaks in Kensington?
In hot-dry zone 3B, soils expand and contract sharply between dry summers and wet winters, stressing copper lines under slab foundations. Signs include warm spots on floors, unexplained water bills, or the sound of running water when everything is off.
