In Orinda’s hills, homes are often built on bedrock with zero soil elasticity. That means no ground movement, but water lines are pinned against rock — any leak goes straight into your finished basement. We use ultrasonic leak detectors and tracer gas to find leaks without demo.
Many Orinda estates have private wells or cisterns for landscaping. We maintain pump controls, pressure switches, and storage tank bladders. Also, fire sprinkler systems require annual backflow testing — we’re certified for that.
For the multi-generational homes in Glorietta and Sleepy Hollow, we install comfort systems like on-demand recirculation pumps that give instant hot water and save thousands of gallons per year.
We sign NDAs if requested. Our trucks are unmarked per client preference. And we bill through a discrete LLC for high-profile clients.
We inject a safe hydrogen/nitrogen tracer gas into your water line and sniff for it above ground. Finds leaks anywhere, even under 24 inches of concrete.
Annual test of your fire sprinkler system’s backflow preventer — required by Orinda Fire District for residential properties over 5,000 sq ft.
We add a dedicated return line and pump to your existing water heater — instant hot water to all fixtures, no waiting.
We test pump amp draw, pressure switch, tank pre-charge, and water level — same-day report and repair estimate.
Submersible well pumps last 8-12 years. If yours is older, or you hear it running constantly (short cycling), call for a free pressure test.
A backflow preventer protects the public water supply from contamination (e.g., sprinkler chemical backflow). A check valve simply prevents reverse flow in your private line. Only backflows need annual testing.
Yes — we install Moen Flo, Phyn Plus, and StreamLabs systems. They learn your normal usage and text alerts for anomalies. Some can even shut off water remotely.
Yes — we calculate gas demand (BTU) for grills, fire pits, pizza ovens, and heaters, then size the main line and branch lines to maintain pressure. Includes permit pulling.
Usually an undersized water heater or a failing pressure reducing valve (PRV). We can upgrade to a tankless unit or larger tank and check your PRV setting.
