About Jetpipe Plumbing
Atherton estates require plumbing expertise that matches their exceptional standards. Spanning one to five acres, these properties feature extensive underground systems, mature landscaping, and infrastructure that demands specialized care—from historic 1920s estates in Lindenwood to modern masterpieces in West Atherton. We address common challenges like root intrusion from oaks and redwoods, plus aging pipes stressed by expansive clay soils. Our technicians arrive discreetly, work efficiently, respect gated access and privacy, and coordinate seamlessly with property managers to avoid disrupting your routine. Atherton homeowners trust us for technical precision and the understated professionalism expected in the Peninsula’s most exclusive community.
Our Services
Comprehensive plumbing solutions, designed for Atherton's luxury estates, from historic properties to contemporary architectural homes.
Free Diagnostic
Every Atherton service begins with a thorough property assessment at no charge. We evaluate your plumbing concern completely, explain findings in clear terms, and present solution options before proceeding. Residents throughout West Atherton, Lloyden Park, and Atherton Oaks receive detailed evaluations with transparent pricing and complete discretion.
Water Heaters – Replacement & Repair
Premium water heater services tailored for Atherton estates include expert installation and repair of gas, electric, and tankless systems properly sized for large homes and multi-unit needs. We handle every municipal permit, complete installations quickly and cleanly, and back each job with extended warranties of up to 10 years. This level of care is especially important here, where Hetch Hetchy water’s high mineral content builds sediment that reduces efficiency and shortens the life of heaters serving expansive square footage. Our work ensures reliable, long-lasting performance without compromising the serenity of your estate.
Whole House Repipe (Water & Sewer)
Estate properties constructed during Atherton's mid-century development, particularly in Lindenwood and established neighborhoods, often benefit from complete pipe replacement. We upgrade vintage galvanized and copper systems to modern materials, including PEX, utilizing trenchless technology that preserves mature landscaping and minimizes property disruption. It is essential for protecting estate infrastructure and maintaining optimal water delivery across extensive layouts.
Gas Line Installation
Professional gas line services for Atherton properties cover installation for high-end appliances, outdoor kitchens, pool heating systems, and generator connections. We ensure complete code compliance, perform comprehensive pressure testing, and install earthquake shut-off valves required by California seismic safety regulations. Every project receives the extreme attention to detail expected in luxury home installations.
Sewer Camera Inspection
High-definition video inspection reveals the true condition of underground sewer laterals on large Atherton properties without any digging or disruption. This essential diagnostic tool is invaluable where mature oaks, redwoods, and cedars send aggressive roots searching for moisture in aging pipe joints. The camera captures clear, precise footage of root intrusion, corrosion, cracks, and alignment problems. With exact visuals, we plan targeted repairs that stop small issues from becoming catastrophic failures. This approach protects your estate’s value while preserving established landscaping across one-acre-plus properties.
Drain Cleaning
Professional hydro-jetting eliminates blockages throughout complex plumbing systems serving multiple bathrooms, kitchens, and auxiliary facilities. Our equipment clears stubborn root intrusion and buildup without damaging vintage or modern pipe materials. Proactive maintenance proves essential for Atherton estates, where long lateral runs from residences to street connections create unique flow challenges requiring periodic professional attention.
Faucet, Shower & Garbage Disposal Services
Fixture services for Atherton estates meet the highest luxury standards. We handle installation and repair of premium brands from leading high-end manufacturers. Our team coordinates custom work across main residences, guest houses, pool facilities, and outbuildings. This ensures perfect consistency in multiple bathrooms and kitchens throughout the property. It’s also ideal for updating historic estates near Holbrook-Palmer Park, blending period-appropriate details with modern, reliable fixtures. Every project reflects the precision and discretion expected in Atherton’s finest homes.
Shower Valves & Cartridges
Precision valve and cartridge service restores consistent performance in luxury shower systems, steam rooms, and multi-head installations. We service all premium manufacturers, including Kohler, Moen, Delta, and specialty European brands common in Atherton estates. Expert repairs maintain the performance expected in homes featuring multiple master suites and spa-quality bathroom installations.
Angle Stop Valves, PRV, Smart Valves & Main Shut-Offs
Advanced plumbing control systems protect estate infrastructure with smart leak detection, pressure regulation, and automatic shutoff technology. Systems like Moen Flo and Phyn provide continuous monitoring with remote alerts. It is essential insurance for large properties when owners travel or maintain multiple residences. Pressure-reducing valves ensure consistent delivery across extensive piping networks serving multi-level homes and outbuildings.
Leak Detection & Pipe Repair
Sophisticated leak detection uses acoustic sensors and thermal imaging to pinpoint issues. We locate hidden problems beneath foundations, under landscaping, and inside walls without any exploratory digging or damage. Speed matters greatly on Atherton estates. Undetected leaks can waste thousands of gallons, weaken structures, and harm the mature grounds that define a property’s character. Our precise detection allows for surgical, targeted repairs. This approach preserves established trees, hardscaping, and architectural details with minimal disruption.
Water Softeners & ARO Filtration Systems
Premium water treatment installations protect expensive appliances and fixtures from Hetch Hetchy water's mineral content. Whole-house softeners eliminate scale buildup affecting multiple water heaters, steam systems, and high-end fixtures throughout estates. Reverse osmosis systems deliver purified water to kitchens, wine rooms, and coffee bars. These solutions deliver essential protection for the significant investment in a luxury home’s mechanical systems and fine finishes. The result is longer equipment life, better performance, and preserved elegance throughout the property.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service all Atherton neighborhoods?
Yes, we serve every Atherton estate from West Atherton to Lindenwood, including Lloyden Park, Atherton Oaks, and other properties throughout the community. Our technicians navigate the town’s winding private lanes respectfully, understand gated access protocols, and arrive prepared to serve estates near Holbrook-Palmer Park, along Alameda de las Pulgas, and throughout all residential areas.
How quickly can you respond to plumbing emergencies?
Atherton properties receive priority same-day service. We dispatch experienced technicians from Peninsula locations, ensuring prompt response for estates regardless of location along Middlefield Road, near El Camino Real boundaries, or in interior neighborhoods. Emergency situations receive immediate attention seven days weekly with the discretion and professionalism expected in exclusive residential communities.
Why is hard water such a problem in Atherton?
Atherton receives water from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir via the SFPUC regional system, which delivers Sierra Nevada snowmelt. While exceptionally reliable, this water contains naturally occurring minerals, including calcium and magnesium, that accumulate as scale deposits. The challenge intensifies in large estates with multiple water heaters, extensive piping networks, and luxury fixtures where mineral buildup affects performance and appearance. Professional softener systems eliminate these minerals before distribution throughout your property’s plumbing infrastructure.
Do you handle permits for plumbing work in California?
Absolutely. Our service includes full permit coordination with Atherton’s Building Department. We maintain current expertise in town regulations and California plumbing codes, ensuring water heater installations, repipe projects, and gas line work receive proper authorization. This expertise proves essential in Atherton, where property values demand meticulous documentation and code compliance for major infrastructure improvements.
What should I know about tree roots and sewer lines?
Atherton’s defining character comes partly from mature tree canopies – established oaks, redwoods, and ornamental specimens planted decades ago across estate grounds. These root systems aggressively seek moisture, infiltrating aging clay and cast iron sewer pipes through joints and cracks. Properties on one-acre-plus lots feature extended lateral runs from residences to street connections, creating more opportunity for root penetration. Expansive clay soils are common throughout Atherton, compounding the problem through shrink-swell cycles that stress pipe joints. We recommend biennial video inspection for early detection and offer trenchless repair methods that preserve mature landscaping essential to estate character and property value.
