Plumbing in Downtown Hollister

Downtown Hollister has some of the oldest homes in the county, and the pipes show it. A lot of the houses near San Benito Street were built long before modern plumbing, so we still crawl under floors and find galvanized steel supply lines rusting shut and cast iron drains that have started to flake apart. If your water pressure has dropped to a trickle or your drains gurgle when the washer runs, that aging pipe is usually the reason.

Trees are the other big one downtown. The old shade trees along the residential blocks send roots straight into clay sewer laterals, and by the time the toilet backs up, the line is already packed. We run a camera down the pipe so you can see exactly what we see, then clear it with a rooter or line the spot that's failing. No guessing, no digging up the whole yard to find out.

Summers here run hot and dry, so a slab leak or a slow drip behind a wall can go unnoticed until your bill climbs or a floor starts feeling soft underfoot. We locate the leak with listening gear and a camera before we open anything up, which keeps the mess and the repair small. Whatever it is, burst pipe, dead water heater, or a shut-off you can't budge, we handle it and clean up after ourselves.
