Minor Plumbing in San Francisco and the Peninsula

Dripping faucets, running toilets, a disposal that hums and quits — the plumbing list that's too small for a plumber's minimum and too annoying to live with.

What we fix

Faucets repaired or replaced, toilets rebuilt or swapped, traps and supply lines renewed, disposals replaced like-for-like. Every job ends with a leak check while the water’s on and the area dry — and old supply lines get flagged before they fail, because a burst washer hose is the cheapest disaster there is to prevent.

Beyond fixtures — repipes, water heaters, sewer work — we coordinate a licensed plumber from our vetted bench and quarterback the job: one invoice, one thread, no contractor hunt.

How we approach it

Water off at the stop, the old part out clean, and new supply lines and seals rather than reused ones that are already halfway to failing. Fixtures get set true and snugged to spec — over-tight is how you crack a fitting — and then the real test: water back on, the area dried, and every joint watched for the slow weep that shows up an hour later, not the obvious one. Shutoffs that are seized or crumbling get called out while we’re under there, because the time to learn a stop valve won’t turn is not the night a line lets go.

When to book it

Group the drips and runs onto a visit before any one of them becomes urgent — the faucet that’s gotten worse, the toilet that runs at 2am, the disposal on its last summer. Old rubber supply lines and a tired shutoff are worth handling on the same trip; they’re a few minutes now and a flooded cabinet later. Anything past fixtures, we line up the licensed trade and manage it for you.

Commonly paired with: minor electrical — the other everyday small-fix list — and tile & grout repair to close up the wet rooms while we’re in them.

Scope, plainly

  • Minor plumbing — faucets, toilets, traps, supply lines, disposals

Bigger than a repair? We'll say so at the walk-through and point you to people we trust.

What this doesn't cover

Major remodels, permit-requiring work, and full rebuilds are project territory — we'll tell you plainly at the walk-through, and when a job needs a licensed specialty trade we coordinate vetted subs on one invoice.

What it costs

One published member rate — $125/hr — booked in half- or full-day visits. No per-job quotes, no padding. Handled members draw on included monthly hours first. See membership pricing →

Common questions

All questions →
What happens at the walk-through?

About an hour. We do a light inspection of the property — walking the rooms, documenting your mechanicals and appliances, noting any obvious issues — then sit down with your list and discuss how we can help. That visit starts your home's record.

How do I book a visit? How far out?

Add tasks in the app or by text, then book a half-day or full-day block when you're ready. Members typically get a visit within a week or two; the seasonal rush can stretch that, which is one reason members get priority scheduling.

How do the two plans work?

Annual Membership ($399/yr) is access: the documented walk-through, your list managed by us, priority scheduling, and the crew at $125/hr whenever you book. Handled ($499/mo) is "we run the home": everything in Annual, plus a seasonal care plan we execute in the background and 3 crew hours a month included.

What's included in the membership vs. billed hourly?

The membership covers the walk-through, your home record, list management, and scheduling. Labor is one published rate for everyone — $125/hr. For Handled members the included monthly hours come first; anything beyond bills at the same $125/hr.

The walk-through is free, and there’s nothing to commit to. We come to you, learn the home, and you decide from there.
