About JetPipe Plumbing in San Carlos
JetPipe Plumbing understands the Peninsula lifestyle and San Carlos home construction. Whether your property sits in historic White Oaks with its tree-lined streets or near the scenic trails of Burton Park, we bring expertise to match your needs. The majority of San Carlos homes date back to the 1950s-1970s building boom, and we specialize in both preserving vintage plumbing systems and modernizing them for today’s efficiency standards. From the first phone call to final cleanup, we maintain transparent communication and treat every home with meticulous care. Our team arrives equipped, on schedule, and committed to delivering lasting solutions.
Our Services
We offer complete plumbing solutions that are suited to San Carlos's varied housing stock, which includes both contemporary and historic residences.
Free Diagnostic
Before starting any repair or installation, we provide a thorough system evaluation at no charge. Our technicians examine the root cause, explain your options in plain language, and present upfront pricing. Whether you're in Alder Manor or Clearfield Park, expect honest assessments with zero pressure tactics.
Water Heaters – Replacement & Repair
From traditional tank models to modern tankless systems, we install and service all water heater types for Peninsula homes. Our team coordinates city permitting, completes installations in one day when possible, and backs work with warranties extending up to a decade. Critical for San Carlos's properties are where Hetch Hetchy's mineral content reduces equipment lifespan and demands quality installation.
Whole House Repipe (Water & Sewer)
Homes constructed during San Carlos's post-war expansion often require updated piping after 50-70 years of service. We replace corroded galvanized lines and outdated materials with reliable copper or flexible PEX, utilizing trenchless technology where property conditions allow. This upgrade eliminates chronic leaks, restores proper flow, and adds value to Howard Park and White Oaks properties built in earlier decades.
Gas Line Installation
Installing or repairing natural gas lines demands precision and code knowledge. We handle everything from new appliance hookups to complete system updates for homes throughout San Carlos, including earthquake valve installations mandated by California safety standards. Every job includes pressure testing and inspection compliance, ensuring your family's safety along El Camino Real and beyond.
Sewer Camera Inspection
High-definition video inspection reveals exactly what's happening inside your sewer pipes without excavation guesswork. This technology proves invaluable for San Carlos properties near Burton Park and Big Canyon Park, where established root systems penetrate pipes installed decades ago. Early detection prevents catastrophic failures and targets repairs precisely, minimizing yard disruption and expense.
Drain Cleaning
Stubborn blockages in kitchen drains, bathroom fixtures, and main sewer lines respond to professional hydro-jetting that clears buildup without damaging pipes. Regular cleaning prevents emergency backups, which is especially important during Bay Area rainy seasons when saturated ground stresses aging underground systems. We serve everything from historic downtown buildings along Laurel Street to modern hillside residences.
Faucet, Shower & Garbage Disposal Services
Kitchen and bathroom fixture upgrades improve both function and water efficiency. Our installations feature quality brands with manufacturer warranties, while repairs often restore older units to full operation. Ideal for refreshing Beverly Terrace vintage homes or maintaining newer properties near Alameda de las Pulgas with contemporary fixtures that match your style.
Shower Valves & Cartridges
Variations in temperature and uneven pressure indicate malfunctioning valve parts, which we effectively identify and replace. This repair proves especially relevant for multi-level San Carlos homes where elevation changes affect water delivery and for properties near Highway 101 experiencing system pressure variations. We stock parts for Moen, Delta, Kohler, and other leading manufacturers.
Angle Stop Valves, PRV, Smart Valves & Main Shut-Offs
Upgrading control valves throughout your plumbing system prevents small problems from becoming major water damage. Modern quarter-turn shutoffs, pressure regulators for hillside homes, and smart monitoring systems like Moen Flo or Phyn provide insurance against costly failures. Particularly valuable for San Carlos owners who travel or maintain investment properties requiring remote oversight.
Leak Detection & Pipe Repair
Electronic listening devices and thermal imaging locate hidden leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and beneath landscaping without destructive exploration. Speed matters in Cordes and Clearfield Park slab-foundation homes, where undetected leaks undermine structures and spike utility bills. Precise detection followed by targeted repair preserves your Peninsula property investment and maintains neighborhood aesthetics.
Water Softeners & ARO Filtration Systems
Hetch Hetchy water delivers a reliable supply but carries mineral content that damages appliances, creates soap scum, and affects taste. Professional softener installation protects water heaters, dishwashers, and plumbing fixtures, while reverse osmosis systems provide purified drinking water. It is essential for White Oaks and Alder Manor homes, where vintage pipes already contribute to water quality concerns and where appliance longevity matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you service all San Carlos neighborhoods?
Absolutely. Our service coverage spans the entire city, from Laurel Street’s commercial district to residential hillsides in Beverly Terrace. We regularly respond to calls in White Oaks, Howard Park, Alder Manor, Clearfield Park, Cordes, and every San Carlos community. Quick Highway 101 and El Camino Real access ensures prompt arrival regardless of your location.
How quickly can you respond to plumbing emergencies?
San Carlos customers receive same-day service priority. We dispatch from multiple Peninsula locations, guaranteeing rapid response whether your emergency occurs near Burton Park’s recreational areas or in quiet residential streets off Alameda de las Pulgas. Emergency situations get immediate attention seven days weekly.
Why is hard water such a problem in San Carlos?
Water flowing from Hetch Hetchy Reservoir through the SF Regional Water System contains natural minerals that accumulate inside pipes and appliances over time. Given that 85% of San Carlos housing predates 1980, these minerals compound existing challenges from aging plumbing infrastructure. Softeners eliminate this dual problem, extending equipment life and improving daily water quality throughout your home.
Do you handle permits for plumbing work in California?
Yes, our service includes scheduling inspections and acquiring permits. We maintain current knowledge of San Carlos Building Division requirements and state plumbing codes, ensuring every water heater replacement, repipe project, and gas line installation receives proper authorization. This is particularly crucial for the city’s ongoing efforts to modernize its water infrastructure.
What should I know about tree roots and sewer lines?
San Carlos’s mature landscaping creates beautiful neighborhoods but poses challenges for underground pipes. Trees planted in the 1950s-1970s now have extensive root networks that infiltrate joints in clay and concrete sewer lines common to that construction era. Properties near Burton Park, Big Canyon Park, and throughout White Oaks face higher risk. Biennial video inspection catches problems early, and trenchless repair methods fix issues without removing established trees or disturbing driveways and gardens.
