Plumber in Campbell, CA

Your Neighborhood Plumber, Minutes from Campbell

Who We Are

Simply Green is a family company. Lisa runs the office, Russell has been a plumber since the company opened in 1988, and the techs on our trucks are our own crew. We are licensed and insured, CA License 943556.

The way we work is simple. We find the problem, show you what we found, walk you through the options, and charge for the work we actually did. Camera footage, photos from the crawl space, the failed part in your hand if you want it.

A lot of our Campbell work comes from referrals, one neighbor handing our number to the next after a job went well. We would like to keep it that way.

Campbell’s Mid-Century Homes Keep Us Busy

Most of Campbell was built in the 1950s and 60s, when the orchards came down and the ranch houses went up. Those homes are close to seventy years old now, and where the plumbing is original, it is usually the reason we get the call. Three problems account for most of our Campbell visits.

Galvanized supply pipes

Steel pipe rusts from the inside, so the opening narrows year after year. If your shower drops to a dribble whenever the washing machine fills, that is the classic sign. The lasting fix is a repipe, and we will tell you straight whether your house needs one now or can wait a few more years.

Tree roots in clay sewer lines

The mature trees that shade the streets around downtown and San Tomas push roots into every joint of an old clay lateral. We cut them out, run the camera, and show you the footage. Some lines have years left in them. Others clog every winter, and a trenchless replacement ends the cycle without trenching up your yard.

Hard water and water heaters

Water in this part of the valley is hard, and the minerals settle in your tank year after year. A heater that rumbles or runs out of hot water early is usually carrying a few inches of sediment. Caught early, a flush buys time. Past ten years old, it is worth pricing a replacement before it quits on a holiday weekend.

Questions Campbell Homeowners Ask Us

How fast can you get to Campbell?

Our shop is minutes from the city line, so urgent calls often get same-day service. For a burst pipe or a sewage backup, call the same number at any hour. We run 24/7 emergency service.

My house was built in 1958. Can you work on the original plumbing?

That is most of what we do. Galvanized supply lines, cast iron drains, clay sewer laterals. We have worked on homes from that era since 1988, and we stock the parts they actually need.

Roots got into my sewer line. Do I need a whole new line?

Not always. We camera the line first and show you what is down there. One bad joint can often be spot repaired. If the whole run is failing, trenchless replacement usually makes more sense than digging, and your landscaping survives it.

Why is my water heater making a rumbling noise?

Almost always sediment from hard water boiling underneath the tank. A flush helps if the heater is younger. Past ten years, rumbling usually means it is near the end, and replacing it on your schedule beats replacing it during a cold shower.
