Stanford’s Expert Plumbing & Electrical Service Since 1979

San Juan Hill has faculty homes dating to the 1920s, Pine Hill and Frenchman’s Hill add midcentury hillside houses, and Escondido Village is campus apartment housing. Much of it was built to standards that predate nearly every appliance now plugged into it.

What our Stanford customers are saying

These people were really professional and competent. Three other electrical companies had not solved our fuse box problems. Caccia’s did it efficiently,professionally and on cost and time. We are with them from now on.

What Our Customers Are Saying

Frequently Asked Questions in Stanford

Do I need a permit for plumbing or electrical work near Stanford?2026-04-16T22:47:18+00:00

Permitting depends on your exact location. University-owned properties follow Stanford’s own permitting process, while homes in College Terrace and adjacent neighborhoods are under Santa Clara County or City of Palo Alto jurisdiction. We navigate all three.

What are common plumbing issues in Stanford-area homes?2026-04-16T22:46:53+00:00

Older faculty housing and homes near campus often have galvanized supply lines or aging copper pipes with pinhole leaks. Mid-century slab-on-grade construction also makes slab leaks a common issue.

Who is responsible for sewer lateral repairs near Stanford?2026-04-16T22:46:12+00:00

For most residential properties near Stanford, the homeowner is responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the main. Older clay laterals in neighborhoods like College Terrace are prone to root intrusion.

Does Caccia serve Stanford and the surrounding area?2026-04-16T22:45:41+00:00

Yes. We serve Stanford campus residences, College Terrace, San Juan, and the surrounding areas of Palo Alto, Menlo Park, and Atherton.

Can my panel handle an EV charger or heat pump water heater?2026-04-16T22:45:06+00:00

Many Stanford-area homes have 100-amp panels that aren’t sufficient for today’s electrical loads. We assess your current capacity and handle the upgrade and permitting, whether through Stanford, Palo Alto, or the county.

Is the water around Stanford hard?2026-04-16T22:44:37+00:00

The Stanford area receives water from the SFPUC system and local wells, with hardness levels varying by exact location. Moderate mineral content can cause scale buildup in water heaters and fixtures. A water softener helps protect your plumbing.
