FAQ

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 South San Francisco?

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.

Is the estimate really free?

Yes — calling costs nothing and the on-site estimate carries no obligation. You decide after you have a price.

Do pipes freeze in South San Francisco?

Hard freezes are rare in South San Francisco'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 South San Francisco 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.
