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.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes — calling costs nothing and the on-site estimate carries no obligation. You decide after you have a price.
How fast can someone get to Portola Valley?
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 Portola Valley right now.
Do pipes freeze in Portola Valley?
Hard freezes are rare in Portola Valley's marine climate (IECC zone 3C). Most winter calls here involve water heaters working harder with cooler inlet water, not burst pipes. Exposed lines on north-facing exterior walls can still be at risk during unusual cold snaps.
Why do older homes in Portola Valley have low water pressure?
Many homes in coastal San Mateo County were built with galvanized steel supply lines. Decades of internal corrosion narrows the pipe and drops pressure. A licensed plumber can confirm the material and advise whether a repipe makes sense.
