Many pre-1950s homes in Baywood, Hayward Park, and North Central still have galvanized steel pipes. Internal corrosion causes low pressure, rusty water, and recurring leaks. A full or partial repipe is usually the best long-term fix.

San Mateo’s water comes from the SFPUC’s Hetch Hetchy system via Cal Water. It is relatively soft compared to many cities, but the mineral content is still enough to leave scale in water heaters and on fixtures over time. Flushing the water heater regularly helps, and a water softener adds protection where buildup keeps coming back.

Most work beyond basic repairs requires a permit through the City of San Mateo Building Division. We pull all necessary permits and schedule inspections on your behalf.
