What Keeps Breaking in South San Jose Homes

Most of South San Jose went up in the 1970s and 1980s, and those tracts share a plumbing profile. Three problems come up again and again on our service calls here.

Failed pressure regulators

Many homes here sit below pressure zones that push street pressure well above what fixtures are built to take. The regulator near your front hose bib was installed to knock that down, but regulators wear out after twenty five or thirty years. When one fails, pipes bang when a valve closes, flex lines under sinks start weeping, and toilets run for no reason. Replacing a regulator on your water line is a routine visit for us, and it protects every fixture in the house.

Hot water lines under the slab

These tracts were built on concrete slabs with copper water lines running underneath. When a hot line springs a pinhole you get a warm patch on the floor, a water bill that creeps up, or the sound of running water when everything is off. Our leak detection equipment locates the exact spot without tearing up floors on a guess, and then we repair or reroute the line.

Sewer lines with low spots

The soil in this part of the valley settles over time, and sewer laterals settle with it. A low spot in the line collects water and grease, and you end up with a drain that backs up every few months on a schedule. A camera inspection shows exactly where the sag is and whether a spot repair or a trenchless replacement makes more sense.

South San Jose Plumbing Questions

Which parts of South San Jose do you serve?

Blossom Valley, Santa Teresa, Edenvale, Snell, and the neighborhoods along 85 and 87. That covers most of 95123, 95136, 95119, and 95139. If you are not sure, call and we will tell you straight.

Why do my pipes bang when the washing machine stops?

That hammer sound usually means street pressure is coming in too high because the pressure regulator has failed. It is hard on every valve and supply line in the house. We can test your pressure at a hose bib in minutes and usually replace a failed regulator the same visit.

There is a warm spot on my floor. Is that serious?

Usually, yes. A warm spot on a slab floor most often means a hot water line under the concrete is leaking. Turning off the water and calling for leak detection quickly keeps the damage and the water bill down.

How fast can you get to Santa Teresa or Blossom Valley?

We answer 24/7 and we are about twenty minutes away in normal traffic. A burst pipe or a sewage backup gets emergency priority, and we never charge extra for emergency service.
