Works Plumbing has served San Bruno and the surrounding Peninsula since 2009, handling emergencies, water heaters, main lines, slab leaks, drains, and gas work with one licensed crew.

We are open 24 hours every day. Active leaks, sewage backups, and suspected gas odors move to the front of the queue.
We size the replacement to actual household demand, then anchor and connect it properly so the tank meets California bracing requirements.
When pressure drops throughout the house, or the meter spins with everything off, we locate the buried break and replace the failed section.
Warm spots, unexplained bills, and hairline cracks in the foundation are investigated using acoustic and pressure equipment before any concrete is cut.
Running toilets and dripping fixtures waste more water than most expect. We rebuild or replace, then check the supply stops behind them.
Sink, tub, and laundry stoppages are cleared and then checked against the main line so a branch symptom is not mistaken for the real cause.
A documented walkthrough of supply lines, shutoffs, water pressure, drains, and the heater’s condition provides a baseline rather than a surprise.
We locate and repair gas leaks, run lines for ranges, dryers, and heaters, pressure-test the system, and pull required permits.
San Bruno’s steep driveways and mature yards make excavation expensive and sometimes nearly impractical. Our advanced NuFlow solutions provide a way around it.
San Andreas Lake, the pond that gave the fault its name, lies directly west of San Bruno. USGS notes that in 1906 roads, fences, and rows of trees crossing the fault were offset by several yards, and that many people driving past Crystal Springs never realize they are inside the fault zone.
Ground that moves is hard on rigid pipe and water heaters that were never properly anchored. Every heater we install gets braced to meet California requirements rather than just set in place. When a customer says a drain started behaving differently, we put a camera down it instead of guessing.
Over 17 years in these hills means our technicians know which San Bruno streets are on fill, which are on slab, and where shutoffs are hidden. That is the difference between a diagnosis and an exploratory hole in your wall.
They showed up in under an hour, quoted me before touching anything, and cleaned up after. Exactly how it should be.

“Works Plumbing and the team did an extensive plumbing drain line work under our crawlspace. Job was performed efficiently and on time. I appreciate their attention to detail and professionalism. Thank you guys”
Debbie C., 5-star Google review
Debbie thought she had two problems; our team found a third, a leak that could have rotted her foundation. In her words, “They were great. They worked with me on pricing and did a fantastic job and even went an extra mile or two to help me.”
Flush your water heater once a year in San Bruno. The groundwater share of the supply leaves sediment in the tank, and that layer is what kills burners early.

Here are the questions we hear most. Don’t see yours? Give us a ring, a real human answers, day or night.
California requires water heaters to be braced or anchored to resist horizontal displacement, and in a fault-adjacent city like this one, the requirement earns its keep. We anchor every unit we install and will tell you plainly if an existing tank is unbraced or badly braced during any service visit.
The usual signs are a warm patch on the floor, a water bill that climbs with no change in habits, the sound of running water with everything off, or new hairline cracks. We confirm with acoustic and pressure equipment before cutting anything, because guessing at a slab leak is how a small repair becomes a large one.
It can be. Ground movement separates joints and creates low spots in buried lines, and the first symptom is often a drain that empties more slowly than it used to or backs up at a new point. A camera run tells you whether you are looking at a blockage or a displacement, and each requires very different repairs.
Yes, and a good share of our San Bruno work is exactly that. We can coordinate directly with tenants, document the work for owners and property managers, and maintain the written estimate and invoice trail that multi-unit ownership usually requires.
We give you the price in writing before we begin, whatever the hour, and you approve it first. Because we are staffed 24 hours instead of paying someone to come in specifically, overnight service is a normal part of how we operate, not an exception we surcharge heavily for.
We also serve South San Francisco, Millbrae, Brisbane, and Burlingame nearby.
We’ve earned our reputation one happy homeowner at a time.
