Expert Plumbing in Mountain View

If you have lived in Mountain View for any amount of time, you are likely well-aware of the unique water-related problems found in homes throughout the area. The reasons are varied: earthquake-related pipe damage along El Camino Real, hard water and mineral buildup on faucets located at Cuesta Park and a combination of the Bay’s heavy pollution and the intense heat of mountain view summers – all can potentially cause problems for your home’s plumbing system.

When a supply line does rupture, this is rarely “just a leak.” This type of rupture can lead to a wide range of costly repairs including ruined hardwood flooring, lost irreplaceable photographs or renter frustration due to a lack of access to hot water. Therefore, plumbing in Mountain View must be prompt, clear and clean.

Our Plumbing Services

Quick Fixes

Our 24 hour/seven days a week team responds to ruptured pipes, clogged toilets, failing hot-water heaters and other emergency plumbing situations. Once we locate the leak we cut off the water supply, empty the line, and repair the damaged piping using only code compliant products. By being able to respond quickly to emergencies, we help prevent workplace plumbing disasters from escalating into far more costly situations.

Preventative Maintenance

We perform routine flushing on tank-type heaters, hydro-jet sewer lines and replace worn-out washing machine hoses prior to them bursting. Proactive plumbing maintenance helps manage unexpected costs and reduces wear and tear on your fixtures.

Modern Technology

The Energy-Efficient Water Heaters Guide provides information regarding how heat pump water heaters can use 66% less energy than standard units. Our crews size the unit, pull all required permits, and install the new unit with ease. We also offer a viable, energy-efficient plumbing option.

Pricing & Warranty Information

We give you an open-book quote, everything is detailed so you will know what to expect cost-wise prior to us starting work. We warranty our labor and parts for a minimum of 2 years and the warranty period is even longer on complete repipe projects. If you currently hold a competing bid from another company that is licensed, bonded and insured like us, we will reduce their quoted price by 5%. Apartment owners enjoy our volume pricing for business plumbing expenses.

Emergency Service Available 24/7

The Googleplex is a busy place early in the morning and while we save a crew for all overnight calls, when you call us at 408-826-7257, we will send a real-time GPS link showing you exactly where our truck is located. It is not often that you will find a plumbing service provider in Mountain View that offers all of these services.

What to Do Before We Arrive

• Please turn the main shut-off valve clockwise; if the shut-off is outdoors, it is usually located right next to the sidewalk.
• Shut off electrical power to any room(s) where there is water dripping from an outlet to the floor.
• Leave the lowest floor faucet(s) turned on to allow some pressure relief.
• Take photographs of the damage for your insurance claims.

You can minimize the extent of the damage and also lower your potential repair time or minimize potential flood damage by completing these steps.

Plumbing Maintenance in Your Mountain View Home

A few good habits can go a long way to stop leaks before they become emergencies. Every year flush the hot water heater, add a mesh filter to your shower drains, and run cold water into the garbage disposal. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers many other helpful tips on its WaterSense website to help make plumbing in Mountain View simpler and more sustainable.

Plumbing codes in Mountain View and the quality of the water

Codes

The City of Mountain View’s Water Resources Division has required the installation of backflow prevention devices in all new construction projects since 2006 to prevent sewage contamination of Stevens Creek and the installation of earthquake straps on water heaters throughout the state of California. We handle all permits, inspections, etc., to ensure your plumbing in Mountain View meets all requirements the first time.

Water Quality in Mountain View

Water in Mountain View is a combination of water from Hetch Hetchy and local wells, and averages 12 grains per gallon – moderately hard. Excessive mineral buildup can shorten the lifespan of household appliances and can be removed using a water softener and filtration system in Mountain View, which will also leave your faucets shining. Better water means less water spots and possibly less plumbing repairs in Mountain View.

We test for water hardness each time we service your home; if the results are higher than the average hardness in Santa Clara County, we will discuss available treatment options, show you filters you can install/replace yourself, and show you examples of how to use them; this is one of our plumbing in Mountain View services. See the current Mountain View water quality report.

Sustainable Plumbing Solutions

As more and more people in Silicon Valley strive toward achieving net zero living, we help support those who want to achieve this goal through the installation of low-flow toilets, recirculating pumps that minimize the waiting time for hot water, and leak detection sensors that automatically shut-off water supply valves when leaks are detected. Each incremental upgrade represents an opportunity to save water and potentially qualify for rebates. When neighbors choose eco-friendly plumbing solutions in Mountain View, everyone benefits including protecting the San Francisco Bay and reducing future expenses. In addition to environmental benefits, builders who seek LEED certification points, we will manage all paperwork and scheduling of plumbing fixtures. We can also assist you with creating a curb appeal and designing laundry area wash down or gray water systems where you can reuse the shower water for irrigation. These are just a couple of examples of how smart and modern plumbing in Mountain View can benefit you today.

Familiar with Local Problems:

Cuesta Park

In Cuesta Park, there is a high amount of homes from the 1950s. These homes utilize galvanized pipes that when they rust, cause the pressure to drop; therefore, we can replace these with PEX lines, and this will give the home owner a better flow throughout the house. This is a type of preventive plumbing in Mountain View.

North Bayshore

Offices in North Bayshore have emergency repairs that need to be completed after hours. If we start at midnight and finish before six am, our crews allow staff to complete their work on time and do discreet plumbing in Mountain View that is completely un-noticeable.

Monta Loma

Tree roots find and destroy old clay sewer joints in Monta Loma. The first thing we do is send out a camera inspection to see what extent the damage is. If necessary, we will recommend using pipe bursting as a way to repair the line without digging up your yard. We call this a “trenchless” method. This method allows us to perform sustainable, accurate plumbing in Mountain View so that your lawn remains intact and continues to look the same as it did before.

Safety First

We know that water and electricity are not meant to be mixed together. Each technician at Dyer Demand Plumbing is certified by the American Red Cross in Emergency Response Procedures. In addition, each vehicle has GFCI testers, eye-wash stations and an emergency fire blanket on board. When doing responsive, conscientious plumbing in Mountain View, it ensures that no one or anything is interrupted.

The most common repairs we perform include:

• * Leaky angle stops in older ranch homes
• * Recirculating pumps in employee housing units
• * Gas lines in backyard firepits
• * Backflow testing in food labs
• * Slab leak detection using electronic listening devices

Protecting Your Home/Property Investment

At Dyers Demand Plumbing we take pride in respecting your property as well as planning for it. When our techs come to your house they will always lay down runner protection, use gloves and remove the old parts. Even though they may not be doing a typical plumbing repair in Mountain View, we believe ALL plumbing repairs deserve these type of work habits.

Additionally, we will also register all warranty information including the serial number of each item. This way, if there ever is a problem with any of the items we replaced for you, you will already have a head start. At Dyers Demand Plumbing, we feel that responsible plumbing in Mountain View means professional, organized and respectful business practices.

Seasonal Checklist

• March: Test your sump pump and make sure it’s ready for the increased rainfall of spring.
• June: Inspect the outside bibs to ensure they don’t crack due to freezing temperatures this winter.
• Sept: Flush the sediment from your hot water heater before inviting family and friends over for the holidays.
• Nov: Replace your washer hoses every year to prevent a costly flood while you’re busy with your holiday shopping spree.

Real Life Plumbing Situations

You’re attending a concert at Shoreline Amphitheater and your home in Monta Loma has water in the garage. After one phone call, a plumber from Dyers Demand Plumbing shows up, shuts off the shut-off valve, fixes a broken copper elbow and completes the job within two hours. The encore was hot water!

An apartment on Castro Street has a rotten cast-iron stack that’s leaking and causing stains on the ceiling. Using an outside pipe bursting system along with inside PEX splices, we were able to install a new pipe without having to tear into the drywall — another example of clean, permitted and safe plumbing in Mountain View.
