Search for a plumber here and you get franchise dispatch and lead-broker forms. This is the other kind: a sole-ownership shop with the owner's own name on it, and copper repipes and gas line work signed off by Peninsula building departments since 1993.
The services below are the ones listed on the business's own public listings, plus the categories of work that appear on its permit record.
Water heater and boiler work. Gas line and water heater jobs run through the permit record going back to the earliest project on file.
Whole-house copper re-piping. A permitted Menlo Park copper re-pipe on record was valued at $7,500; copper piping jobs in Palo Alto go back to 1995.
Gas line replacement and new runs, including a permitted job replacing every propane line inside a La Honda home and reconnecting the appliances.
Sewer line repair and sewer laterals, plus septic tanks and systems.
Water leak detection — finding it before it costs you a wall.
Drain cleaning, showers, sinks and laundry tubs, faucet and dishwasher installation.
