Hi, we’re Caccia Home Services

Expert plumbers & electricians in Redwood City, CA

Redwood City covers more ground than most Peninsula cities, and the ground itself changes across it. The older side of town sits on natural soil while the eastern edge is built on engineered fill.

That difference determines how we approach a repair, and has since we started in 1979.

Redwood City, CA

Redwood City’s Full-Spectrum Plumbing & Electrical Service Since 1979

Mount Carmel holds 1920s bungalows near downtown, Farm Hill and Palm Park are midcentury ranch, and Redwood Shores is 1990s waterfront housing. That is seventy years of construction practice inside one city, and the repairs differ accordingly.

What our Redwood City customers say
“So thankful Caccia was recommended to us by a former RWC building inspector. Caccia is upfront about the work that needs to be done. Kameron was professional, polite and left the area cleaner than when he came.”

Things Redwood City asks us

Frequently Asked Questions in Redwood City

Do I need a permit for plumbing or electrical work in Redwood City?2026-04-14T18:22:54+00:00

Most work beyond basic repairs requires a permit through Redwood City’s Community Development Department. We pull all necessary permits and schedule inspections on your behalf.

What causes hard water buildup in Redwood City homes?2026-04-14T18:25:10+00:00

Redwood City’s water comes from the SFPUC’s Hetch Hetchy system, with calcium carbonate levels around 90+ ppm. That’s enough to scale up water heaters, shorten appliance life, and leave deposits on fixtures. A water softener can help.

My home in Farm Hill/Mount Carmel has old pipes. Should I repipe?2026-04-14T18:25:44+00:00

Many pre-1970s Redwood City homes still have galvanized steel or cast-iron pipes that corrode internally over time, causing low pressure, discolored water, and recurring leaks. A full or partial repipe is often the most cost-effective long-term solution.

Who is responsible for sewer lateral repairs in Redwood City?2026-04-14T18:26:21+00:00

Homeowners are responsible for the entire sewer lateral from the house to the city main in the street. Older clay and Orangeburg pipes are common in neighborhoods like Palm Park and Woodside Plaza and are prone to root intrusion and collapse.

Does Caccia serve Redwood Shores and Emerald Hills?2026-04-14T18:26:53+00:00

Yes. We serve all Redwood City neighborhoods including Redwood Shores, Emerald Hills, Downtown RWC, Centennial, Roosevelt, and the surrounding unincorporated areas of San Mateo County.

Can my electrical panel handle an EV charger or heat pump water heater?2026-04-14T18:27:29+00:00

Many older Redwood City homes have 60- or 100-amp panels that aren’t sufficient. We assess your current capacity and handle the panel upgrade and permitting if needed.
