Yes. We cover Allied Arts, Felton Gables, Linfield Oaks, the Willows, Belle Haven, Sharon Heights, Suburban Park, Vintage Oaks, Menlo Oaks, and the downtown blocks around Santa Cruz Avenue, along with neighboring Atherton, Portola Valley, and Woodside.

Homes near San Francisquito Creek and the Atherton Channel are the first to see trouble when the creek runs high. A backwater valve keeps the sewer from pushing back into the house, a sump pump handles standing water in a crawl space, and raising a water heater or relocating a low mounted panel keeps critical equipment out of the water. All three are far easier to install before the rain starts.

Yes. The Eichler tracts around Stanford Gardens, Oakdell Park, and the Menlo Oaks pocket were built from 1950 through the mid 1950s with heating tubing embedded directly in the slab, and that tubing eventually corrodes and leaks. We locate slab leaks and can walk you through a spot repair, an overlay system, or a conversion to a ducted or ductless heat pump.

Menlo Park is split among three water providers. Cal Water’s Bear Gulch District covers much of the west side, Menlo Park Municipal Water serves Sharon Heights and the areas east of El Camino Real, and the O’Connor Tract Co-operative Water Company serves a small pocket near Menlo Oaks. Knowing which one serves your address matters when you need a meter located, a service line repaired, or water shut off at the street.

Sewer service in most of Menlo Park is run by the West Bay Sanitary District rather than the city. You own the private lateral from your building all the way to the connection at the public main. The district will sometimes clear the section between the main and your property line cleanout, but only if the lateral and cleanout meet its code, so it is worth a call to them before a backup turns into a bigger job.

Most work beyond a basic repair does. Permits are issued by the Building Division inside Menlo Park’s Community Development Department, and that includes water heater replacements, panel upgrades, EV charger circuits, and repiping. We pull all necessary permits and schedule inspections on your behalf.
