With a Burlingame office and 24-hour staffing, our technicians respond quickly to all plumbing emergencies that can’t wait.
Corroded galvanized supply lines are replaced with copper or PEX, staged room by room so the house keeps running water.
We test controls and expansion protection, then size and install a replacement with connections and bracing updated to current code.
Period bathrooms hide surprises behind the tile. We check rough plumbing before committing to a fixture, not after.
We inspect the line with a camera, locate the fault to the foot, then repair or replace the failed section instead of the whole run.
Certified testing and documentation for assemblies that protect your supply, handled on schedule to prevent lapses.
A documented inspection of pipe material, pressure, shutoffs, drains, and heater condition provides a baseline rather than a surprise.
Our NuFlow-certified team fixes a failing supply line without opening plaster room by room and repairs a lateral without cutting the driveway.
Much of Burlingame was plumbed before copper became standard, and galvanized steel ages badly. It corrodes from the inside, with symptoms arriving in order: pressure drops at fixtures farthest from the water shutoff, then hot water runs discolored. The City of Burlingame warns that lead and copper in water can cause serious health problems. Cast iron drains from the same era fail at joints, so leaks appear inside walls rather than at visible fittings.
Houses like these punish anyone who quotes from the curb. We verify pipe material from the meter inward and inspect drain lines on camera before pricing, so you know if you need a spot repair, lining, or staged repipe.
Our Hatch Lane office sets us apart from crews driving into town. We offer shorter emergency response times, easier return visits for staged work, and technicians who know which blocks still have original galvanized pipes in the walls.
They showed up in under an hour, quoted me before touching anything, and cleaned up after. Exactly how it should be.

Zandra V., 5-star Google review
“Just Works. I’ve never had a repair happen at the beginning of a service window rather than the end of it – it was pretty magical. Will was sent to fix a valve and had it done quickly and smoothly, and helped me finish a bidet installation as a bonus, once the main repair was complete. He was methodical and easy to work with. I needed someone in a pinch, and they came through. Thank you!”
Teddy H., 5-star Google review
“Works Plumbing came to help me immediately with an emergency leak. Their technician was polite, courteous, and professional. I was presented with three price options to fix and update my plumbing so I wouldn’t run into this problem again. I will gladly hire them in the future!”
If your Burlingame house is more than 25 years old, get the lateral tested early in a sale, not the week before closing. Any repairs need city approval first.

Old plumbing rewards attention and punishes neglect, which is the entire premise of our membership.
Rocket Rewards members get an automatic 10 percent discount on all services with call-out charges waived, so documenting pipe material and pressure before a problem costs nothing extra.
The plan includes periodic water heater inspections and flushing, scheduling priority over non-members, and price protection that locks in your rate for the term.
Here are the questions we hear most. Don’t see yours? Give us a ring, a real human answers, day or night.
The signs are consistent: weak pressure at fixtures farthest from the meter, rust-colored water on the hot side after the house sits, and threaded grey pipe visible at the shutoff or water heater. We confirm this by checking the material at several points rather than assuming based on the build year, since many Burlingame homes have been partially repiped over the decades.
Water systems must inventory service lines and notify customers whose lines are lead, galvanized, require replacement, or are unknown. The obligation lies with the water system, but the letter is a prompt to find out what is in your walls, which we can verify during any service visit.
Usually yes. We route new lines through attics, crawl spaces, and closets where the layout permits, then patch the limited access points we open. On older homes with plaster and original tile, we plan the route before starting and show you exactly where openings will be, because surprises in a period bathroom are expensive.
A technician already in town reaches you faster than one dispatched from another city. Staged work like a room-by-room repipe is easier to sequence when return visits are short. That is why we keep the Hatch Lane office instead of covering Burlingame from Pacifica. Book your service online anytime.
Yes, and customers here mention it. Where a problem has more than one legitimate fix, such as a spot repair versus lining versus replacement, we present the choices with what each one buys you. You approve a written price before any work begins.
We also work in Hillsborough, Millbrae, San Mateo and San Bruno, often on the same day.
