Portola Valley, CA

Portola Valley’s Trusted Plumbing & Electrical Service Since 1979

Ladera is a 1950s cooperative development with a remarkably consistent housing stock, Westridge and Portola Valley Ranch hold custom hillside houses, and Brookside Park runs toward rural ranch properties. Few places in the county pack that much variation into one small town.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Frequently Asked Questions in Portola Valley

Do I need a permit for plumbing or electrical work in Portola Valley?2026-04-16T21:46:20+00:00

Yes. The Town of Portola Valley requires permits for most work beyond basic repairs. Work in environmentally sensitive areas may need additional review. We handle all permitting and inspections on your behalf.

Does my Portola Valley home have septic or sewer?2026-04-16T21:45:48+00:00

It depends on your location. Some Portola Valley homes are connected to the West Bay Sanitary District, while others rely on private septic systems. We service both and can help you determine which system your home uses.

My home on a wooded lot has old pipes. Should I repipe?2026-04-16T21:45:20+00:00

Many mid-century Portola Valley homes have galvanized or aging copper pipes. Corrosion is compounded by long supply runs on larger rural lots. A full or partial repipe with modern materials improves pressure and eliminates recurring leaks.

Are backup generators common in Portola Valley?2026-04-16T21:44:16+00:00

Yes. Portola Valley’s rural, wooded setting makes it more susceptible to power outages from storms and fallen trees. We install and service whole-house generators, including the electrical panel work and transfer switch installation.

Does Caccia serve all of Portola Valley?2026-04-16T21:43:43+00:00

Yes. We serve all of Portola Valley including properties along Alpine Road, Portola Road, Old La Honda Road, and the surrounding areas of Woodside, Menlo Park, and Palo Alto.

Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger and backup generator?2026-04-16T21:43:12+00:00

Many older Portola Valley homes have 100-amp panels that aren’t sufficient for modern loads. We assess your total electrical needs and handle the upgrade to 200-amp or higher service, including all permitting.
