Drop cloths go down, cuts get made clean so the patch is easy, and the old tank or fixture leaves with the truck. The room should look better than we found it.
Every job goes to a licensed, insured plumbing contractor who pulls the permits your town requires. Licence numbers are on the invoice, not buried on a webpage.

That is the classic hidden leak — usually a slab leak, an underground service line, or a toilet flapper passing water quietly all night. A Portola Valley leak detection visit puts a pressure gauge on the system and finds it without digging up the yard first.
You get a price for the repair before any work starts, not an hourly meter that runs while you watch. The diagnostic visit in Portola Valley is quoted up front on the phone, and if you approve the repair that visit charge goes toward the job.
Yes. A Portola Valley repipe runs room by room so the house never loses water for more than a few hours at a stretch. Old galvanized and polybutylene are the two we replace most.

Yes — well pumps, pressure tanks and pressure switches are regular work. Short cycling, no pressure and a pump that will not shut off are the three most common calls we take from well owners near Portola Valley.
Real feedback from real plumbing calls.
"Water heater let go on a Sunday morning and flooded half the basement. Had someone here inside two hours, new tank in by afternoon, and he hauled the old one off. Price was what he said on the phone."
"Sump pump died the week before a big storm. New pump and a battery backup installed in one visit. Power went out during the storm and the basement stayed dry."
"Main water line between the meter and the house had been leaking into the yard for months. They trenched it, replaced it, and put the sod back better than it was before."
