Our Specialties:
- Water Leak Repairs – We are able to offer repairs on whatever your leaking material is etc. (copper, PVC, PEX, galvanized, poly pipe). When making the repair, we make sure the condition of the piping is adequate before making the connection onto whatever the piping is
- Trenchless Water Mains We are also happy to offer trenchless water main without having to dig up a hole in your front yard. With this, we just abandon the old water main and perform underground boring. This underground boring provides a new 1-inch copper main connecting to the water meter and then connecting on to your new main water shut-off valve for your home. Call us for a quote!
- Main Water Shut Off Valve Replacement – Is your main water shut-off valve dripping constantly? Have you tried to shut your main water shut-off valve and it won’t move? Or it won’t shut the water off all the way? We can fix all of these problems with the installation of a new quick and easy ¼ turn shut-off valve for your entire home.
- Pressure Regulator – Dripping faucets and or showers? The main reason why they are dripping is because of the extensive high water pressure going into your home. We are able to reduce the incoming water pressure going to your home right at the water service manifold.
- Complete Water Re-pipes PEX/Copper – We do complete water re-pipes leaving no old water lines behind whatsoever. We typically do a repipe with a combination of PEX horizontals and vertical copper pipes. Unless you would like all copper to repipe we can also provide that too. All re-pipes include all new shut-off valves for each fixture. We are more than happy to go over this process with you in more detail if we decide this is the best plan of action.
- Shower valve replacements – We are able to replace two or three handle shower valves with a new modern single handle shower valve. We have performed this many times and it can be a seamless process. We open the backside of the wall in order to access it, but if you have a back-to-back shower DON’T worry, our certified plumbers can access it from anywhere!
- Slab leak detection and repair – When dealing with a slab foundation house your floor can feel warm all of a sudden in a certain area, this is most likely caused by your hot water line that is leaking underneath.
Did you receive a high water bill? Call us immediately! We have top-notch equipment to locate exactly where the leak is underground. Once we find where the leak is depending on the location we could always re-route the water line to above ground. WE at Bueno Plumbing got you covered!
Water Leaks Can Be Slow, But Damaging To Your Home
Perhaps because they are not readily visible, we tend to forget them and think that everything will be okay. But the longer you ignore the problem can be dangerous. Here are the possible negative side effects (and potential disasters) of letting a leak in your residence or business go on undetected.
Huge Water Bill
Don’t you spend enough as it is on utilities? So why let water run continuously when you know for a fact that it is causing your water bill to slowly rise? Before you know it, you will find yourself spending hundreds or even thousands of extra dollars on water that you didn’t even get the benefit of using.
Mildew
Leaking water basically infects everything around it. That means your support beams, sheetrock, floors…the list goes on. And what happens once all that stuff is wet? It won’t dry up on its own; instead, more than likely it will remain wet and eventually grow mildew and mold. Now think about this: once mold begins to fester in your home, it’s not easy to get rid of.
In fact, you’ll have to spend thousands to do it properly. Not to mention the fact that any future home buyers will have to find out that you had mold remediation work done in your home, which isn’t exactly great for your resale value. A San Jose water leak detection specialist can come in and help fix that leak for you.
Don’t Let These Savings Go Down the Drain!
Why Water Leaks Are To Be Taken So Seriously
A water leak can not only do damage to the building structure or to the hot tub, but it can also cause you to watch money literally drain away as you pay for municipal water service and the water that is delivered to your home or business simply disappears.
In some cases, you may easily be able to spot where your water leak is coming from and you may be able to fix it. For example, if there is a large crack in an area of your wall that is rotting away due to water damage, it is pretty easy to see that there may be a problem there.
Unfortunately, by the time there are visible signs of water damage, you may have already wasted a lot of water — and you will have to incur the expense of having to repair the water damage in addition to the water leak. Not only that, but sometimes there aren’t visible signs of a leak in your pool or building’s infrastructure, or sometimes the area where a leak appears to be coming from is not actually the place where the source of the leak is.
For all these reasons, if you believe that you may have a water leak somewhere in your building, your hot tub or on the grounds of your home, it is a wise choice to contact Bueno Plumbing’s San Jose water leak detection services right away. Don’t wait for the leak to become out of control or for serious water damage to happen- take action right away and be proactive to resolve your leak problems.
To find out the cause you should contact us for a fast and responsive San Jose water leak detection service especially if it is an older home to ensure the plumbing system gets fixed immediately.
