Hear from Our Customers
You know that sinking feeling when you turn on a faucet and nothing happens, or worse, when you hear water running where it shouldn’t be. In Boulevard Park’s beautiful historic homes, plumbing issues aren’t just inconvenient—they can threaten your investment and peace of mind.
When we finish the job, your water pressure runs strong and steady. Your drains clear completely, not just temporarily. Your old pipes stop playing games with your morning routine, and you can trust your plumbing system to work when you need it most.
That’s what happens when you work with plumbers who understand both modern techniques and the unique challenges of Boulevard Park’s vintage architecture. No more wondering if the problem will come back next month.
We’ve built a 4.7-star reputation across 93 Google reviews by showing up when we say we will and fixing things right the first time. We understand that Boulevard Park’s historic homes—many dating back to the early 1900s—come with plumbing challenges that newer neighborhoods don’t face.
Your Craftsman-style home or Victorian wasn’t built with today’s water pressure demands in mind. The galvanized steel pipes that were standard decades ago are now corroding from the inside out. Sacramento’s hard water doesn’t help matters, leaving mineral deposits that choke your fixtures and appliances.
We’ve seen it all in this neighborhood, from tree roots invading century-old sewer lines to low water pressure caused by pipes that have literally closed up over time. That’s why Boulevard Park residents trust us with their most important investment—their home.
When you call, we answer—not an answering service, not a call center. You get a real person who can schedule your appointment, often for the same day if it’s urgent.
Our plumber arrives on time with a fully stocked truck, so we’re not making multiple trips to the supply house while your problem gets worse. We diagnose the issue completely before we start work, explaining what we found and what it’ll take to fix it properly.
You get an upfront price before any work begins. No surprises, no “we found something else” after we’ve already started. We fix the problem using quality parts and proven techniques, then test everything to make sure it works correctly. Before we leave, we walk you through what we did and answer any questions you have about maintaining your plumbing system.

Boulevard Park’s historic homes require specialized plumbing expertise that goes beyond basic repairs. We handle everything from emergency leak repairs to complete repiping projects, understanding how to work within the constraints of vintage architecture while bringing your plumbing up to modern standards.
Sacramento’s hard water is particularly tough on Boulevard Park’s older plumbing systems. Mineral deposits build up faster in galvanized pipes, and the original clay sewer lines that run under many homes in this area are magnets for tree root intrusion. We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify problems before they become disasters.
Our services include drain cleaning and hydro jetting to clear decades of buildup, sewer line inspection and repair using trenchless methods that preserve your landscaping, water heater installation and maintenance, and complete plumbing system upgrades that respect your home’s historic character while delivering modern performance and reliability.
Low water pressure in Boulevard Park’s historic homes is typically caused by corroded galvanized steel pipes that have narrowed over decades of mineral buildup. These pipes, common in homes built before the 1960s, literally close up from the inside as rust and Sacramento’s hard water deposits accumulate.
The problem usually starts gradually—you might notice your shower taking longer to rinse soap off, or your kitchen faucet running slower than it used to. Eventually, some fixtures may have barely a trickle while others work normally, depending on which pipes are most affected.
We can diagnose whether your low pressure is caused by corroded supply lines, a failing pressure regulator, or mineral buildup in fixtures. The solution might range from cleaning aerators and showerheads to strategic repiping of the most affected lines. We’ll give you options that fit your budget and timeline.
Plumbing replacement costs in Boulevard Park vary significantly based on your home’s size, the extent of the work needed, and how much of the original system we can preserve. A partial repipe focusing on the most problematic lines might run $3,000-$8,000, while a complete whole-house repipe typically ranges from $8,000-$15,000.
Historic homes often require additional considerations like working around original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and architectural details you want to preserve. We can often run new lines through existing pathways or use modern techniques that minimize wall damage and restoration work.
The key is getting an accurate assessment of what actually needs replacement versus what can be maintained. We provide detailed written estimates that break down materials, labor, and any additional work needed. Many Boulevard Park homeowners are surprised to learn they don’t need to replace everything—sometimes strategic updates to the worst sections solve most problems at a fraction of the cost.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing services throughout Boulevard Park and the greater Sacramento area. Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours, and we understand that water damage can happen fast in these older homes.
Our emergency services include burst pipe repairs, severe drain backups, water heater failures, and any plumbing situation that threatens your property or safety. We typically respond within an hour for true emergencies, arriving with the tools and parts needed to stop the immediate problem and prevent further damage.
Emergency service rates apply for after-hours calls, but we’re upfront about pricing before we start work. Sometimes the emergency fix is temporary to prevent damage, with permanent repairs scheduled for normal business hours at regular rates. We’ll always give you options and let you decide what makes sense for your situation and budget.
Absolutely. We specialize in historic home plumbing and understand the unique challenges of Boulevard Park’s vintage architecture. Working on homes from the early 1900s requires knowledge of old materials, original installation methods, and how to integrate modern solutions without damaging historic features.
Many Boulevard Park homes still have original cast iron drain lines, galvanized supply pipes, and fixtures that are decades old. We know how to work with these systems, whether that means repairing original components, retrofitting modern parts to work with vintage plumbing, or completely updating systems while preserving your home’s character.
We’re experienced in working around original hardwood floors, plaster walls, and architectural details that make these homes special. Our approach focuses on solving your plumbing problems while respecting the craftsmanship and history of your home. We can often update your plumbing to modern standards without the extensive demolition and restoration that some contractors require.
Historic homes in Boulevard Park benefit from annual plumbing inspections, especially if your home still has original or older plumbing components. These inspections catch small problems before they become expensive emergencies and help you plan for necessary updates over time.
During an inspection, we check water pressure throughout the house, test all fixtures and appliances, inspect visible pipes for corrosion or leaks, and use camera equipment to examine sewer lines for root intrusion or damage. Sacramento’s hard water and the age of Boulevard Park’s infrastructure make regular monitoring particularly important.
If your home has been recently updated with modern plumbing, you might extend inspections to every two years. However, homes with original galvanized pipes, cast iron drains, or sewer lines over 50 years old should be checked annually. We provide detailed reports showing the condition of your entire system and recommendations for maintenance or repairs, helping you budget for future needs rather than facing surprise breakdowns.
The most common plumbing issues we see in Boulevard Park stem from the age of the homes and Sacramento’s hard water conditions. Corroded galvanized pipes cause low water pressure and rusty water, while original cast iron sewer lines suffer from root intrusion and deterioration after decades of use.
Hard water mineral buildup clogs fixtures, damages appliances, and accelerates pipe corrosion. Many Boulevard Park homeowners notice their water heaters failing prematurely, dishwashers and washing machines requiring frequent repairs, and constant cleaning of white mineral deposits on faucets and showerheads.
Tree root intrusion into sewer lines is particularly common in this established neighborhood with mature trees. Roots seek out moisture and nutrients, finding their way into even small cracks in old clay or cast iron pipes. We also frequently address foundation settling issues that can cause pipe bellies—sections where pipes sag and create low spots that collect debris and eventually clog completely.
