Plumbing in San Jose: Fast repairs when you need them

Capitola Plumbing serves San Jose with the same local plumbing care we bring to every neighborhood from Gilroy to Santa Cruz. San Jose has older subdivisions built in the 1970s and 1980s, when copper and galvanized lines were standard, and those materials are showing their age. You'll see pinhole leaks, corroded shut-off valves, and drainage issues in kitchens and bathrooms that back up without warning.

When your toilet runs, your shower drains slowly, or you spot a wet spot under the kitchen sink, you need someone who can diagnose it fast and explain what's actually happening. We show up with the right tools. We use camera inspection to find the problem before we start breaking into walls or digging. A burst pipe in a San Jose home can damage subflooring and drywall within hours, so the sooner you call, the less you'll pay in repairs later.

We handle leaks, clogs, water heater failures, sewer backups, slab leaks, and emergency shut-offs. If your plumbing isn't working, call us. We'll give you a price before any work starts, and we'll stand behind every job.

What we see most in San Jose

• Galvanized water lines from the 1970s and 1980s corrode from the inside out, causing low pressure and rusty water
• Copper pinhole leaks are common in older San Jose homes; we locate them with camera inspection to avoid tearing up walls
• Kitchen sink and bathroom drain clogs happen fast when trees nearby push roots into sewer lines; we clear them and inspect for damage
• Water heaters fail without warning; we repair and replace them, and we can install tankless units if you want to upgrade
• Slab leaks under San Jose homes are hard to spot until water pooling appears outside; we find them with thermal imaging and acoustic detection
