"They installed a 100 foot pipe, 15 feet down with a 45 degree turn. It was an incredibly huge job. The job was done professionally, fast, efficiently and successfully. Joe and Orlando were professional, helpful and always there to answer my questions."

Customer Reviews
What Our Clients Say
Trusted by homeowners, developers, and municipalities across the Bay Area.
"I failed an inspection required by City of San Mateo's lateral sewer line ordinance. Joe gave me a quote with a few contingencies for what he could not see until excavating, and the contingent items were not necessary, so the quote held. Permits and all phases were perfectly sequenced, and we passed inspection."
"An excellent experience working with Joe on my water service, city side upgrade. He went above and beyond to push the project through, even as the city changed the sequence and timing of several technical and administrative steps. His communication and follow through were exceptional."
"Joe was up front about cost and schedule, and was careful to make sure that the job was truly necessary. His crew was thorough, prompt, and great to interact with. They rolled with some unexpected hiccups on our end."
"We needed a pipe dug out of a concrete driveway in order to clear the sewer line. Joe explained everything and the work was done in one day."
"They came out to assess the situation and proposed a cost effective solution. They drove out that night to get the sewer line into a passable condition so we would not be without water, free of charge. During the project they had four guys working and completed the sewer line replacement in a single day."
"I had a leak under my house and Joe came out within hours. They replaced galvanized pipes within 24 hours, very professional."
"Our old galvanized water lines were badly corroded and needed replacing with copper. They were prompt and knowledgeable, got the work done with minimal inconvenience, and constantly kept us advised what was being done."
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common emergencies include leaking water heaters, sewer line backups, clogged toilets, overflowing bathtubs or sinks, gas leaks, blocked or damaged sewer lines, and water pressure problems.
First, shut off the water, gas, or sewer as applicable. Identify and assess the problem intensity. Call a plumber if you are unable to fix it yourself.
Regularly inspect and maintain gas, water, and sewer systems. Use quality replacement parts and avoid draining non-soluble items into toilets, sinks, or bathtubs.
Professional technicians diagnose root causes and provide experienced repairs to prevent the same issue from recurring in the future.
Total UC responds to urgent calls within minutes due to our Bay Area location. Our fully equipped technicians are ready to help any time of day or night.
For gas line issues, close the outlet immediately and evacuate the building. Contact an emergency plumber for problems beyond your personal capability to handle safely.
