Plumber in Los Altos, CA

Careful Plumbing for Los Altos Homes

Los Altos grew out of apricot orchards, and the ranch homes that replaced them sit on some of the largest lots in the valley. Most have been remodeled at least once since, many more than once. We come over from Los Gatos on 85 and Foothill Expressway, and our crew is used to working in finished homes where care matters as much as speed.

Simply Green Plumbing has been family owned since Russell and Lisa started it in 1988. We are licensed and insured, CA License 943556. We wear shoe covers, we protect floors, and we leave the work area cleaner than we found it. That is not a slogan, it is the reason Los Altos homeowners call us back.

What We See in Los Altos

Long sewer runs under old trees

Big lots mean long sewer laterals, and in Los Altos those laterals run beneath oaks and landscaping planted fifty or sixty years ago. Roots work into every joint. When a line backs up repeatedly, we camera it, and when it is time to replace, trenchless replacement saves the yard the trees took decades to shade.

Remodels on top of remodels

A 1955 house with a 1985 addition and a 2015 kitchen has three eras of pipe behind new finishes. When a leak shows up, opening walls on a guess gets expensive fast. Our leak detection pinpoints the source first, so the repair disturbs as little of the finished home as possible.

Hot water sized for how the house lives now

Remodeled homes grow, and the bathroom farthest from the water heater ends up waiting a minute for hot water. A properly sized tankless unit or a recirculation loop fixes that. We size the system for the house it is now, not the house it was in 1960.

Los Altos Plumbing Questions

Will you protect floors and finishes while you work?

Yes. Drop cloths, shoe covers, and a clean work area are standard on every Los Altos job. We work in finished, lived-in homes every day and it shows in how we treat yours.

We remodeled recently. Why is the sewer still backing up?

Remodels usually replace fixtures and leave the original lateral under the yard untouched. If the line is sixty years old and full of roots, new bathrooms will not change that. A camera inspection shows its real condition in about an hour.

Can you install fixtures we picked out ourselves?

Yes, any brand, including the high end lines Los Altos remodels tend to use. Careful installation matters more than the name on the box, and we treat your fixtures like our own.

Hot water takes forever to reach the far bathroom. Is there a fix?

Usually a recirculation loop, sometimes paired with a tankless heater. We look at your layout and give you the options with real prices before you decide.
