Martinez is California’s oldest city in Contra Costa County. Many homes near Main Street and the Alhambra Valley were built before 1920 — with original galvanized, lead, and even brass pipes. We treat history with care.

Preserving Martinez, One Pipe at a Time

In the older parts of Martinez (the “Old Town” area), we carefully repipe without damaging original lath and plaster walls. Instead of ripping open entire walls, we use “fishing” techniques to run new PEX lines through existing chases and behind baseboards.

Homes in the Alhambra Valley and Vine Hill have crawlspaces that flood during heavy rains — which means wet insulation, rot, and rodent intrusion. We install sump pumps, encapsulate crawlspaces, and reroute sewer lines out of low spots.

We also handle the refinery-adjacent homes near Pacheco Boulevard. Those homes sometimes have acidic soil due to historical industrial fallout, which corrodes copper pipes from the outside in. We use corrosion-resistant polyethylene sleeves on new copper.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Martinez sewer lateral ordinance?

Martinez requires all property owners to replace or line their sewer lateral when selling or performing major renovations. We do the camera inspection, permit, and replacement — one call.

Not necessarily. If the rest of the pipe is in good condition, we can do a spot repair — cut out the damaged section and install a 2-foot rubber or epoxy coupling. Or we can line the entire pipe for future protection.

Yes — we use horizontal directional drilling to bore under the driveway. We ream out the old line and pull a new HDPE pipe through. No concrete cutting.

Soak a rag in white vinegar and wrap it around the aerator or handle for 30 minutes. The acid dissolves calcium carbonate. For stubborn scale, we sell a CLR-safe commercial descaler at cost.

Immediately — if you smell natural gas, leave the house and call 911 from outside. Then call us. We are licensed for gas line emergency repair and will coordinate with PG&E.
