Atherton’s Premier Plumbing & Electrical Service Since 1979

Atherton estates range from legacy properties in Lindenwood, to gated compounds in West Atherton, and renovated mid-century homes in Lloyden Park. With nearly 60% of houses there built before the 1950s and constant high-end remodeling, every Atherton property has distinct plumbing and electrical demands.

Common issues we see in Atherton include:

Estate-scale repiping for homes with aging galvanized or copper systems, often coordinated around major renovations and ADU additions.

Older Atherton estates frequently need 400-amp service to support pool equipment, EV chargers, guest houses, and whole-home automation systems.

Many Atherton properties have long sewer laterals running through heavily landscaped lots with mature heritage oaks, requiring trenchless repair methods to avoid root damage.

Large homes often require multiple water heaters or high-capacity commercial-grade tankless systems to serve multiple bathrooms, pool houses, and guest houses.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Frequently Asked Questions in Atherton

Do I need a permit for plumbing or electrical work in Atherton?2026-04-16T09:16:59+00:00

Yes. The Town of Atherton requires permits for most work beyond basic repairs, especially on estates with heritage trees that may affect excavation. We handle all permitting and inspections on your behalf.

What are the common plumbing issues in older Atherton estates?2026-04-16T09:18:27+00:00

Many pre-1950s Atherton homes still have original galvanized steel supply lines and cast-iron drains. These corrode internally over time, causing low water pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks. A full or partial repipe is usually the most cost-effective long-term solution.

Can my electrical panel handle a pool heater, EV charger, and guest house?2026-04-16T09:18:44+00:00

Most older Atherton homes were built with 100- or 200-amp panels that can’t support today’s demands. We assess your total load and handle the upgrade to 400-amp service, including all permitting through the Town.

Who is responsible for the sewer lateral on my Atherton property?2026-04-16T09:19:03+00:00

Homeowners are responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the connection at the city main. On larger Atherton lots, these laterals can be quite long and are often original clay pipe prone to root intrusion from heritage trees.

Does Caccia serve all of Atherton including West Atherton and Lindenwood?2026-04-16T09:19:19+00:00

Yes. We serve all Atherton neighborhoods including West Atherton, Lindenwood, Lloyden Park, and the surrounding areas of Menlo Park and Redwood City.

Is the water in Atherton hard?2026-04-16T09:19:35+00:00

Atherton’s water comes from the SFPUC’s Hetch Hetchy system via the California Water Service Company, with hardness levels around 75-90 ppm. That’s enough to cause scale buildup in water heaters and fixtures over time. A whole-house water softener can help protect your plumbing investment.
