Los Gatos Plumber – Hometown Service Since 1988

Serving Los Gatos Since 1988

Simply Green Plumbing is a Los Gatos company. Our shop is on Capri Drive, our families live here, and we’ve been fixing this town’s plumbing since 1988. When you call us, you’re calling your neighbors, and our response times in Los Gatos are the best we offer.

Los Gatos homes span more than a century of construction: older homes near downtown, mid-century neighborhoods, and hillside properties from Blossom Hill to the mountains. Each era has its own plumbing quirks, and after nearly four decades here we’ve worked on just about all of them.

Emergencies happen, and we answer 24/7. Burst pipe, sewage backup, no hot water? Call (408) 358-6446 and a licensed local plumber is on the way. Family-owned · Licensed & Insured · CA License 943556.

Here is the work Los Gatos homeowners call us for most: emergency plumbing, drain cleaning, sewer line repair, water heaters, leak detection, repiping and gas lines.

The Plumbing Inside Los Gatos Homes

The houses in this town tell you a lot about what’s behind the walls. The older homes around downtown and Almond Grove often still have cast-iron drains and sections of galvanized water pipe that have been patched more than once. The ranch homes built in the 1950s through the 1970s, across neighborhoods off Blossom Hill Road and Los Gatos Boulevard, are now reaching the age where original water heaters, shutoff valves and galvanized supply lines start to fail. Newer and remodeled homes usually have copper or PEX, and their problems tend to be fixtures, water heaters and the occasional slab leak.

Knowing the age and style of a home tells us what to check first, so we spend our time fixing the problem instead of hunting for it.

Trees, Clay Pipe and the Hills

Los Gatos is known for its trees, and many older sewer lines here are clay or other early pipe with joints that roots can work their way into. That’s why a slow kitchen drain or a gurgling toilet in an older Los Gatos home is so often a root problem in the main line, not just a clog. We use a camera to show you what’s going on before we recommend anything, and options run from clearing and hydro flushing to trenchless repair that saves the landscaping.

Up in the hills and the Santa Cruz Mountains above town, homes often have long water and sewer runs, steep driveways, and some still rely on septic systems. Water pressure can swing with elevation too, which is why we check the pressure regulator when a hillside home has noisy pipes or a dripping relief valve.

Whatever part of town you’re in, a real person from our Capri Drive office answers the phone day or night, and we don’t charge extra for emergency calls.
