Coverage area

Serving Los Gatos and the surrounding metro

In Los Gatos, CA, homes built along Los Gatos Creek and within the town's historic districts often face a dual risk for drain backups. Heavy winter storms can cause the creek to rise, while aging plumbing systems in older properties become more susceptible to blockages and failure. Drain backup calls in Los Gatos are often driven by a combination of its geography and housing stock. Hillside runoff and creek overflow during winter storms can overwhelm drains, while the many homes with older plumbing are more prone to internal blockages and failures.
