Works Plumbing has operated a same-day plumbing service since 2009. Our team arrives with camera equipment, covers shoes and floors, provides written quotes, and handles everything from clogged sinks to full repipes.

We have capacity for urgent work and operate 24 hours, so most Menlo Park calls get a technician on site the same day.
We send a camera the length of the lateral, rate the pipe, and locate faults to the foot before anyone talks about digging.
Cutting heads clear the intrusion and restore the full bore, unlike simply pushing a cable through it.
A failed lateral under a mature yard usually does not require a trench. We rebuild the pipe from inside the existing line.
Faucets, toilets, showers, and disposals are installed with supply stops and connections updated simultaneously.
Acoustic listening and pressure isolation pinpoint hidden leaks, allowing us to open just one small area rather than search across the floor.
Failing galvanized or early copper is replaced in planned stages, routed through attics and crawl spaces to minimize wall work.
A scheduled walkthrough of pressure, shutoffs, drains, and water heater condition detects failures that develop quietly.
We clean the failing pipe, then line it in place so a new pipe forms inside the old one. This addresses everything from pinhole leaks to serious corrosion, improves flow rate, and extends the line’s life dramatically.
The heritage oaks that make these streets worth living on are also the main threat to what runs beneath them. A USDA Forest Service review reports roots cause more than half of all sewer blockages, and the pipe most at risk is exactly what Menlo Park has: older, jointed, shallow, and narrow.
A crew paid to clear a line will clear it, collect, and leave, which is why many homeowners are on their third visit for the same stoppage. We check the pipe on camera before quoting, so you know if you have roots in the sound pipe, one bad joint, or a lateral at the end of its life. That review notes root removal costs a fraction of replacement, and we say so when maintenance is the better choice.
Being a certified NuFlow contractor makes our service affordable. When a pipe needs rebuilding, we line it in place instead of trenching through roots and hardscape.
They showed up in under an hour, quoted me before touching anything, and cleaned up after. Exactly how it should be.

“Very good price. Company was able to help me right away same day. Will was very professional and he did a great job in fixing the clog in our sink. Would highly recommend!”
David M., 5-star Google review
David’s crew called ahead, covered their shoes before walking in, and walked him through the fix step by step before starting. After the repair, he wrote, “they thoroughly cleaned the entire area.”
If one room in a Menlo Park slab house is warm underfoot in summer, shut the water main and watch the meter. A moving dial means a slab leak.

On a wooded lot, root intrusion is not a question of if but when. This makes scheduled attention the cheapest plumbing you will ever buy.
Rocket Rewards members receive an automatic 10 percent discount on all services with call-out charges waived. A preventive main line clearing before the wet season costs nothing to book.
Membership also provides scheduling priority over non-members, periodic water heater inspection and flushing, and price protection that locks in your agreement 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.
Not necessarily; we will tell you when a replacement is not the right spend. If the camera shows a structurally sound pipe with intrusion at one or two joints, scheduled cutting or a targeted spot repair is usually the better economic choice over the years. Replacement earns its cost once the pipe itself has lost integrity, and the video makes that call obvious.
You can book a service online anytime. We staff 24 hours and hold capacity for urgent work, making same-day service realistic rather than aspirational. If we cannot make it the same day, we say so at booking and give you a real window instead of a hopeful one.
Less than people expect. We route new lines through attics, crawl spaces, and closets wherever the layout allows, then patch the limited access points we open. On homes with slab sections, some wall work is unavoidable. We show you exactly where to go before starting, rather than discovering it midway.
Yes, and it is one of the things Menlo Park customers mention most. Technicians cover shoes, lay protection over finished floors, and clean the work area before leaving older homes with original hardwood or tile. That matters as much as the repair itself.
A camera location answers it. We run the line from the cleanout toward the municipal connection and identify where the fault sits and on which side of the property boundary. That determines who is responsible for the repair, and it is worth establishing before anyone commits money.
We also serve Atherton, Palo Alto, Redwood City and San Carlos.
We’ve earned our reputation one happy homeowner at a time.
