Emergency Plumbing
AquaTek Plumbing provides round-the-clock emergency services for burst pipes, sewer backups, and other urgent plumbing issues. Our licensed technicians respond within an hour for Bay Area emergencies, using advanced tools to restore functionality and prevent property damage. We serve residential, commercial, and multi-unit properties with immediate solutions.
Hydro Jetting
Our hydro jetting service clears clogged drains and sewer lines using high-pressure water to remove buildup and tree roots. This non-invasive method cleans pipes thoroughly without damage, offering longer-lasting results than traditional snakes. Ideal for both emergency blockages and preventive maintenance in residential and commercial properties.
Sewer Line Repair
We diagnose and repair sewer line issues using camera inspections to identify root intrusion, cracks, or misaligned pipes. Services include trenchless repairs, pipe replacement, and hydro jetting to restore proper drainage. Our team handles residential and commercial sewer emergencies with minimal disruption to property.
Leak Detection
Using advanced acoustic and thermal imaging tools, we locate hidden leaks in walls, under slabs, or in irrigation systems. Our technicians repair slab leaks, hot water tank leaks, and fixture issues to prevent water damage and mold growth. Services include irrigation leak detection for outdoor systems.
Repiping Services
We specialize in full-home and commercial repiping using durable Type L copper piping. Our services include water heater connections, fixture replacements, and code-compliant installations. We handle permits and inspections, offering 10-year warranties on workmanship for residential and commercial repiping projects.
