What we see most often in Calistoga
Drain problems that keep returning
Kitchen lines collect grease and buildup over time. A snake can restore flow, but if clogs keep coming back, hydro jetting can be the deeper reset that scrubs the pipe walls clean.
Water heater issues that hit at the worst time
No hot water, temperature swings, leaks at the heater, or a unit that can’t keep up. We troubleshoot fast and recommend repair vs replacement in plain language.
Leaks that hide until damage shows
Under-sink drips, slow valve leaks, pinhole leaks, and water where it shouldn’t be. We locate the source, fix the cause, then test everything before we leave.
Main line symptoms
Multiple drains slowing at once, gurgling toilets, sewer odor, backups that worsen during heavy use. A sewer camera inspection stops the guessing and shows what the line actually looks like.
Older homes and the repipe conversation
A whole-home repipe is worth considering when:
- Leaks keep happening in different rooms over 12–24 months
- Water pressure has gotten weaker over time
- You’ve been told you have older galvanized lines or aging copper issues
- You’re remodeling and walls will already be opened
Repiping is not flashy, but it turns a home from “temperamental” into “reliable.”
