"Our sewer main busted and Oak Plumbing’s master plumbers Matt & Mike did a great job at digging down over 7ft to replace the broken section and also upgraded my single sewer main clean out which was nearly rusted through to a dual solid ABS clean out. And also I would like to add that Nate also did a great job at identifying our problem! Thanks guys! You’re AWESOME!"

"We had a great experience with Rock Solid Drains. Coltin and Clavey were both exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and courteous. I don't want to have to call a plumber again, but if I do, I know it will be Rock Solid Drains."

"We are incredibly grateful to Pedro Galvan and his team for stepping in during a moment of urgent need. When our hot water system suddenly failed, leaving us without hot water for daily essentials, Pedro responded with a level of professionalism, clarity, and compassion that is truly rare. From the very first call, Pedro was attentive, transparent about pricing, and committed to solving the problem quickly. He provided us with the most cost-effective and honest quote out of several we obtained—and, even more importantly, was able to come almost immediately when others could not. His workmanship was precise, efficient, and tidy. It was clear we were in the hands of someone who genuinely takes pride in his craft. In a world where so many service professionals overpromise and underdeliver, Pedro Galvan delivers exactly what he promises—and does so with warmth, integrity, and a deep respect for his clients. We recommend him without hesitation to anyone needing plumbing services."

When you call GOFLOW, you’re getting a team that knows this area, knows plumbing, and genuinely cares about doing the job right.\n\nWe’re not a franchise. We’re not a call center routing you to whoever’s available. We’re a local company built by plumbers who got tired of watching customers get treated like transactions instead of people.

"Very knowledgeable installer. The owner of the company also visited my home to deliver materials and check on the job. Starving Plumbers installed the water heater the day after I called them, so we were without hot water for just a single day. Knowledgeable and very professional. They were about $500 less for a top of the line American Standard Shorty Tank than the price another local plumbing company quoted."

"Elsy ( I believe she was the plumber from your company via Angi) arrived as scheduled, on Saturday, 09/28/2024. She attempted to repair my garbage disposal unit but was unable to do so as the unit's wiring was worn out. I advised the unit is 40 yrs old. She recommended to purchase a new one. We made a trip together to the local Home Depot store and I purchased the same brand s she recommended. She installed it in record time (within the 2.5 hrs) and completed the job. She also cleaned the work space and carried the old one to my recycling bin. Very satisfied with her work. Also, I want to know if I will receive a billing statement for my records? Thank you for your time & assistance."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Successful plumbing depends heavily on your local environment. Novato has expansive clay soils that swell and shrink seasonally, which stresses buried pipes and causes rigid underground connections to fail. The hard, chlorinated municipal water also accelerates scale buildup and degrades certain pipe materials over time. Furthermore, all installations must include flexible gas connectors and water heater strapping to meet strict CA seismic safety standards.

Helpful?

Distinguishing plumbing issues from other home repairs requires careful observation. During the wet winter months in Novato, ceiling stains point to roof or window flashing leaks rather than pipe failures. Gradual water pressure loss at a single fixture indicates corroding galvanized pipes, while district-wide pressure drops indicate a utility outage. Check for yard dampness as well, since expansive clay soils crack both underground pipes and concrete foundations.

Helpful?

Opening walls for plumbing access exposes older electrical wiring, which triggers mandatory upgrades under state code. In Novato homes with hydronic radiant heating, water heater repairs directly impact your heating system. Under-slab pipe repairs require cutting into the concrete foundation, which impacts structural integrity if done incorrectly. Your contractor will also verify that nearby gas lines remain undisturbed and maintain their required seismic safety valves.

Helpful?

Gather your property records before scheduling a plumbing service. Document your home’s construction year, as pre-1975 houses feature aging galvanized supply lines and clay sewer laterals. Locate your main water shutoff valve and collect your utility account numbers. You should also take clear photos of the issue, track down three to six months of water bills, and note any history of sewer backups in your CA home.

Helpful?

As homes age in Novato, plumbing needs shift based on the construction era. Pre-1970s houses feature failing galvanized steel lines that cause low water pressure and rust. Homes built in the 1970s and 1980s require replacing degraded polybutylene pipes. Older clay sewer laterals are also highly prone to tree root intrusion. A local professional will assess these aging systems and bring them up to current California building codes.
