No hot water, rusty water, or a puddle in the garage. We repair what's worth repairing and replace what isn't, with the permit pulled either way.

Flat rate, in writing
The number you're told is the number you pay.
We quote the job, not the hour. You see the price on a tablet, you approve it with a signature, and that's the invoice — even when the 45-minute drain job turns into 3 hours of root cutting.
Camera inspection is included free on any main-line clearing, so you're not taking our word for what's down there. You watch the screen with the technician and get the footage emailed afterward.

Emergencies
4 situations worth calling at 2am.
Water moving where it shouldn't costs more every hour it waits.
Burst or leaking pipe
Water moving through drywall or into a crawlspace does more damage per hour than the repair will ever cost. This is the call to make immediately, not in the morning.
Shut the main off at the street meter or the house valve
No hot water
Pilot out, element failed, or a gas valve gone. On a leaking tank, the leak is the emergency — the cold shower is not.
If the tank is leaking, close the cold shutoff on top of it
Sewage backup
Waste coming up through a shower drain or floor drain means the main line is blocked. Every fixture you run makes it worse.
Stop using every drain, toilet, and washing machine in the house
Overflowing toilet or fixture
A single overflowing fixture usually means a local clog, but repeat overflows across fixtures point at the main line and need a camera.
Close the angle stop behind the toilet to stop the fill
From call to clean-up
From your call to a dry floor.
1. Call or send the details
Describe what's happening and where. Dispatch decides in about 2 minutes whether this is an emergency roll or a scheduled visit, and tells you which.
2. Arrival window and a name
You get a 2-hour window, the tech's name, and a text when they're on the way. Emergency calls get an ETA in minutes instead.
3. Diagnose and price flat
Flat-rate pricing from a published book, quoted before work starts. Not an hourly clock that rewards a slow afternoon.
4. Options, not one number
Where repair and replace are both real choices — slab leaks, aging water heaters — you get both prices and an honest read on which we'd pick.
5. Permits and inspection
Water heaters, repipes, and gas work get permitted and inspected. It protects your homeowner's policy and your resale disclosure.
6. Clean up and warranty
Drop cloths down, debris out, and a written warranty in your hand: 1 year on labor, manufacturer terms on parts.
Plumbing FAQ
Questions before you call.
Do you offer 24-hour emergency plumbing in Hollister?
Yes. The emergency line is answered around the clock by an on-call technician, not a message service, and average response inside our service area is about 90 minutes.
How much does it cost to replace a water heater in Hollister?
Tank replacements start at $1,850 installed, including the permit, haul-away, seismic strapping, and an expansion tank where code requires one. Tankless installs start around $3,400.
Does your Hollister plumbing team bill by the hour or by the job?
No. Every Hollister project is flat-rate from a published price book, quoted before work starts. You know the exact number before anyone opens a wall in your home.
What areas do you cover?
Hollister, San Juan Bautista, Tres Pinos, Aromas, and Paicines, including rural parcels on wells and septic. No trip surcharge inside that area.
How quickly can you clear a clogged drain in Hollister?
Most single-fixture clogs in Hollister are cleared the same day within 1 to 2 hours. Pricing starts from $149 through an accessible cleanout. If that same line backs up twice, we include a camera inspection at no extra charge to find the root cause.
Are your plumbers fully licensed and insured for work in San Benito County?
We hold a C-36 plumbing contractor license and are fully bonded with general liability and workers' compensation. Certificates are provided with any estimate for your San Benito County property upon request.
Will you handle the plumbing permits with the City of Hollister?
For water heaters, repipes, sewer line replacement, and gas work, we always pull permits. An unpermitted water heater can complicate a San Benito County insurance claim and will show up on your resale disclosure.
Local households
What people say after the truck leaves.
“Pipe blew at 11pm. A person answered, not a machine, and a truck was in the driveway inside an hour.”
“They priced the slab leak reroute next to the spot repair and explained why they'd pick the reroute. First plumber to give me a choice.”
“Water heater swapped, permit pulled, old tank gone, done before lunch.”

Water where it shouldn't be?
Emergency calls reach a technician, not an answering service. Everything else gets a next-day window.
