My Father started Larry's Plumbing in 1976 and serviced the San Francisco Peninsula, he recently passed it on to me. I grew up in the industry and understand every home and customer is different. I like to treat our customers with some old fashion customer service. Since moving to the area and commuting back to the Bay Area we decided to expand our business and add a second location, Sacramento and the surrounding areas. We look forward to working with our new neighbors.

"They were great! On time and very professional. Price was reasonable. I would definately recommend them."

"Tony and his crew were absolutely fantastic. My wife and I recently moved to California and found a gorgeous home and lot with a slight incline outback. We had some ideas of what we wanted to do with the mismanaged landscaping, and called AP to come out and take care of our needs. From start to finish the communication was exceptional, and they have all the right equipment and better yet people to take care of things in the proper way. Moving from Texas I was fearful, but already love the local businesses I've worked with ESPECIALLY these guys! Thanks Tony"

"They failed to install correctly. Flex-tubing ruptured and spewed water everywhere. They came our and replaced flex-tubing and cleaned up the water. They failed to correctly install pressure relief valve. They also failed to tightly fasten the water heater to the wall. Now the water-heater has corroded electrical components from the water and blows the circuit breaker. No other contractor will touch the job because they do not want to be liable for it. NewWRX does not return my calls (2 calls), I have left messages to call me on their answering machine."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

The right psi for your well pressure tank depends on the tank’s pressure settings. For instance, if yours is set to 30/50 psi (which is common), the ideal psi is 2 to 3 psi below the cut-on pressure—in other words, 27 to 28 psi. However, if it’s at a higher setting of 40/60 psi, 38 psi would be the appropriate level.

Well water is often assumed to be hard because of its high mineral content. Hard water can lead to mineral build-up in your pipes and appliances. You can manage hard water by installing a whole-house filter system. These systems can help extend the life of your water-reliant appliances like your hot water tank and dishwasher. 

Think of a leach field and septic tank as the peanut butter and jelly of wastewater management. They go together. However, it is possible to have a septic tank without a leach field, as some types of septic systems don't require them. For example, your home may have a septic mound rather than a leach field or a sand filtration system, instead.

Yes. A metal detector is one of the quickest and easiest ways to find your septic tank. However, metal detectors can be too expensive (costing upward of $300 in some cases), and not everyone has a metal detector just lying around. If that’s the case for you, you can also take a long metal rod and poke it into the ground at regular intervals until you hit something—likely your septic tank lid.

The costs depend on whether you are buying into an existing well or starting from scratch. The average well drilling cost is between $25 and $60 per foot. The average cost to repair a well is between $350 and $1500. If you have a shared agreement and a community association, there will be additional legal and administrative fees.
