Leaks and bursts

Leaks, bursts and pipes in Millbrae homes

Water damage gets worse by the hour, so these are the calls we treat as urgent. The first move at home is always the same: find the main shut-off and close it.

Burst pipe repair

A split or cracked pipe that is flooding a wall, ceiling or crawlspace, repaired so the water can come back on.

Leak detection

Finding where hidden water is actually coming from before anyone opens a wall.

Slab leak repair

Leaks in lines under a concrete floor, found and repaired with as little demolition as the job allows.

Water service line repair

The buried line between the meter and your house, when it leaks, fails or has to be replaced.

High water bill and meter leaks

A bill that jumped with no change in habits usually means water is escaping somewhere you cannot see.

Repiping

Whole-house or partial pipe replacement when old supply lines keep failing.

Commercial plumbing

Leaks, grease traps and backflow testing for shops, restaurants and offices.

Drains and sewer

When something will not drain

A slow sink and a sewage backup are very different problems. We start by working out which one you have, then match the tool to the blockage.

Drain cleaning

Clogged kitchen sinks, tubs, showers and branch drains cleared with cable machines.

Hydro jetting

High-pressure water that scours grease, scale and roots from the inside of a pipe.

Sewer line cleaning

The main line cleared when every drain in the house is slow or backing up at once.

Sewer camera inspection

A camera run through the line to see the cause of repeat clogs, and to document the pipe's condition.

Sewer line repair

Spot repairs, trenchless lining and replacement when the pipe itself is damaged.

Garbage disposal

Jammed, leaking or dead disposals repaired or replaced.

Hot water and fixtures

Water heaters, fixtures and water quality

Some calls are not emergencies, but they still deserve a straight answer. Planned work gets the same price-first approach as a midnight call.

Water heater repair

No hot water, a pilot that will not stay lit, or a tank that drips.

Water heater replacement

A failed tank swapped out, often the same day when stock and schedule allow.

Water heater installation

Planned installs for gas, electric and heat pump units.

Tankless water heater

Installation, repair and descaling for on-demand units.

Toilet repair and installation

Running, leaking or clogged toilets, and new ones set properly.

Faucet repair

Faucets, shower valves, supply valves and outdoor spigots.

Plumbing installation

New fixtures, remodel plumbing and added lines.

Water softener and filtration

Treatment systems sized to what your water actually needs.

What to know about older Millbrae plumbing

What to know about older Millbrae plumbing

Millbrae grew fast after the war. Census counts show dwelling units rising from 2,783 in 1950 to 4,803 in 1960, so a large share of the homes in the city are more than six decades old. We cannot tell you what is inside your walls without looking, but a house from that era is a good candidate for a leak check when a ceiling stain or a rising water bill turns up.

Around Downtown Millbrae and El Camino Real, the questions are different. Restaurants and shops there deal with grease, floor drains and annual backflow testing, which the city's code requires wherever backflow assemblies are installed. Those are everyday jobs for commercial plumbing.

Near the Millbrae Station area, newer buildings replaced the old surface parking lots, and the city's hazard planning notes that parts of the station area sit in flood hazard zones. For a ground-floor unit or garage, that is a reason to ask about drain and backwater protection before the wet season, not after.

Hillside lots in the western part of town are a different story. The city's 2040 General Plan notes past landslides on steeper slopes there, and moving ground can stress buried water and sewer lines, so a soggy patch in a yard deserves a prompt look.

Common questions

Common questions

Yes. The 24/7 line is answered at night, on weekends and on holidays. Tell us what is happening, and we will book the earliest visit available and tell you what to shut off while you wait.

The honest answer depends on the problem, the access and the parts. We do not guess over the phone. Call the 24/7 line, and we set a clear price before work starts so there are no surprises on the bill.

Close the main water valve if water is flowing, stop using the affected drain, and keep people away from wet outlets and cords. Move belongings out of the wet area if it is safe. If you smell gas, leave and call 911 first.

Yes. Millbrae is our home base. Burlingame has its own Burlingame plumber page, and we also take calls from San Bruno and South San Francisco. Call to confirm availability for your address.

Often, when the unit is in stock and the schedule allows. Details such as venting, gas connections and Bay Area rules on new water heaters can change what is needed, so ask us what applies to your replacement.

Permits may apply, and the Millbrae Building Division handles plumbing permits. We will tell you if your job needs one when we set the price. Whoever does the work should hold a plumbing license, and you can look up a contractor at the state licensing board.
