Backflow Preventer Valve
Installed a backflow preventer assembly on the service line — brass body, test cocks accessible, and shutoffs on both sides for future servicing.
Sewer line failing in San Jose? We camera-inspect, locate the fault, and quote spot repair, trenchless lining or replacement — with the city permit included, not sprung on you later.
A sewer line repair is the most expensive plumbing decision most San Jose homeowners ever make, which is exactly why it should start with evidence rather than a quote. We camera the lateral first, locate the fault with a depth and distance reading, and show you the footage. Then you get options with real numbers: a spot repair on a single failed joint, trenchless lining through the existing pipe, pipe bursting, or open-trench replacement. A company that quotes a full replacement without showing you the inside of your pipe is guessing with your money.
In San Jose the fault is usually predictable from the neighborhood. The older core — Willow Glen, the Rose Garden, Naglee Park, Japantown — was laid in vitrified clay tile in short sections with mortared joints, and mature street trees find every one of them. Roots enter, the joint separates, and eventually a section offsets or collapses. Post-war tracts in Blossom Valley, Cambrian and Evergreen more often have cast iron that has scaled and channelled along the bottom, or early ABS with sags that hold water and solids.
One thing many homeowners learn too late: in San Jose the property owner is responsible for the entire lateral, including the portion running under the sidewalk and street to the main. That is why an offset thirty feet out is your bill and not the city's, and why a camera inspection before you buy a home here is worth every dollar. We handle the City of San Jose permit and any encroachment permit for work in the right-of-way, and we coordinate the inspection.

Short mortared sections under mature trees. Roots, separation, then offset — the standard progression in Willow Glen and the Rose Garden.
Post-war tracts channel along the bottom or hold water in a belly. Lining fixes one; only excavation fixes the other.
Including under the sidewalk and street. We handle the encroachment permit as part of the job.

Cut out the old laundry box and its corroded supply lines, set a new box with quarter-turn valves, then closed and finished the wall.
Both trucks stocked with the common failure parts — water heaters, valves, and fittings — so most jobs finish on the first visit.
“Two companies quoted a full replacement sight unseen. He camera’d it, found one bad joint, and fixed that. Thousands saved.”
“Showed me the footage, explained lining versus digging without steering me, and pulled the street permit himself.”
“Licensed, insured, showed the license number without me asking, and the price on the invoice matched the quote exactly.”
