Saratoga homeowners have trusted Simply Green Plumbing since 1988. Our shop sits just over the town line in Los Gatos, about ten minutes from Saratoga Village, so when you call, you get a local crew that has probably worked on your street before, not a dispatcher three cities away.
Many Saratoga homes were built in the 1950s–70s and still run on their original galvanized steel or cast-iron lines. We know these houses inside and out: whole-house copper and PEX repipes, trenchless sewer replacement that spares your landscaping, water heater upgrades, and water treatment for the South Bay’s hard water.

Signs You Need a Professional Plumber
While there are products on the market that offer a do-it-yourself remedy, these often provide a temporary fix leading to bigger problems down the road. Our experienced technicians have the proper tools to rid your drains of clogs without damaging your pipes or your property in the process. With Simply Green Plumbing just a call away from Saratoga, there’s no need to struggle with clogged drains.
There are some warning signs that you have a plumbing problem. Maybe you’ve noticed brown-tinted water coming out of your faucets or an extreme lack of water pressure during your morning shower. Or perhaps the signs are more obvious – like water leaks or water spots on your ceilings and walls.
If you notice these signs or any of those listed below, you should call Simply Green Plumbing.
Blockages
Some clogs can be undone with a plunger and a little muscle. However, if you have a drain that consistently gets backed up, you need a professional plumber.
Plumbers can use special tools like cameras that can look deeper into pipes for something that may be causing a long-term problem. Hair, grease build-up, and tree roots can get into underground systems that cause backups inside.
Bad Odors
Sometimes a backup or clog can create a foul smell that can be local to the source or sometimes permeates throughout your Saratoga home or business. Don’t try to tackle the problem yourself; you might end up making the problem worse.
Plumbing problems may be causing a sewage odor in your home. Drainpipes might not be properly ventilated or heavy rains may have caused backups in your sewage systems. If you notice a sewage-like smell that can’t be traced to other sources, it’s time to call Simply Green Plumbing.
Low Water Pressure
If you have low pressure, a slow drip, or no water at all, you have a problem. Low pressure can be caused by clogs in your pipes, a damaged water heater, or a burst pipe that’s leaking behind a wall. Have an experienced plumber from Simply Green assess and solve the problem.

The Plumbing Problems We Fix Most in Saratoga
After nearly four decades of service calls between Saratoga Village and the summit, patterns emerge. Three problems fill our schedule in Saratoga more than anywhere else we work.
Hillside homes with long sewer runs
Up Pierce Road, along Highway 9, and through the Mt Eden and Congress Springs areas, homes sit on large wooded lots where the sewer lateral can run a hundred feet or more before it reaches the street. A long line dropping downhill through oak and redwood roots behaves nothing like a short suburban lateral. Small root intrusions turn into repeat backups, and a sag in one stretch can quietly collect grease and grit for years. We start with a camera inspection so you can see the inside of your own line, and when a section has failed we can usually restore it with trenchless sewer repair instead of cutting a trench across your landscaping. Hillside homes also depend on pressure regulators to tame the supply pressure. If faucets sputter, pipes bang when a valve closes, or the shower feels like a fire hose, have us test the regulator before a fitting lets go.
Mid-century ranches and remodel-era pipe
The Golden Triangle and the Quito corridor filled with ranch homes in the 1950s and 60s, and plenty of them still carry some of their original galvanized steel. Decades of remodels add a wrinkle: we regularly open a Saratoga wall and find 1960s galvanized, 1980s copper, and 2000s PEX all meeting at one joint. Mixed metals corrode fastest at those connections, which is exactly where pinhole leaks start. If mornings begin with rusty water or your pressure fades a little more each year, ask us for a straight answer on whether spot repairs still make sense or whether repiping in copper or PEX is the smarter money.
Hard water that wears out fixtures and water heaters
Water here runs hard, and Saratoga homes show it. Scale crusts shower glass, chokes faucet aerators, and settles into water heater tanks until they rumble like a kettle. We size and install water treatment and filtration systems that protect the whole house, and we service tank and tankless water heaters that scale has worn down. If your heater is more than a few years old and has never been flushed, that one visit can add years to its life.
From Our Shop to Your Saratoga Door
Our shop sits on Capri Drive in Los Gatos, a straight run up Los Gatos-Saratoga Road from the Village. That is why Saratoga calls get some of our fastest response times: there is no dispatcher routing a truck from the far side of San Jose, just a crew leaving a shop ten minutes away. We work the Village, the Golden Triangle, Congress Springs, Pierce Road, Mt Eden, and the Quito corridor week in and week out, and we also serve neighboring Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, and Campbell. Same family, same phone number, since 1988.

Saratoga Plumbing FAQs
Do you charge extra to come to Saratoga?
No. Saratoga is part of our core service area. We’re based about ten minutes away in Los Gatos and we’re working in Saratoga nearly every week. No travel fees, ever.
Can you replace the old galvanized pipes in my Saratoga home?
Yes. Whole-house repipes in copper or PEX are one of our specialties. If your home was built before the 1980s and still has its original plumbing, we’ll give you a straight assessment and a clear quote.
Can you fix a sewer line without digging up my yard?
Usually, yes. Our trenchless sewer replacement repairs or replaces the line with minimal excavation, protecting landscaping, driveways, and hardscape.
Do you handle plumbing emergencies in Saratoga?
Yes, 24/7. Burst pipe, sewage backup, no hot water: call (408) 358-6446 and we’ll get a plumber headed your way.
Do you work on hillside properties off Pierce Road and Highway 9?
All the time. Hillside homes come with long sewer laterals, pressure regulators, and access challenges that flatland crews rarely see. We bring camera equipment to inspect long lines and trenchless gear to replace them without tearing up a hillside garden.
What does Saratoga's hard water mean for my plumbing?
Mineral scale builds up inside pipes, fixtures, and especially water heaters. White film on shower glass and a rumbling heater are the usual first signs. We install water softeners and filtration systems, and we service water heaters that scale has worn down.
How fast can you reach a Saratoga home?
We are about ten minutes from Saratoga Village and we answer the phone around the clock. For most emergencies a crew is rolling within minutes of your call. If a pipe has burst, shut off the water at the main first, then call (408) 358-6446.
