Our experience was terrific. We had a medium sized job: replace the 90 year old iron sewer connection out rom back of home, down the driveway and out to the property line, and add a BBQ island (sink, garbage disposal, gas appliances) in the back yard. All together about 150' of sewer plus venting for the BBQ island, and water, gas to the BBQ. All work was done with permits. The quote included connection to the sewer under the home (not just at the exterior foundation where other quotes specified). Communication was excellent. They arrived when they said they would. Both the principals and the workers are very good people. Work went quickly when not waiting on inspections (schedule inspections early!). I judge a firm by how they handle problems. In this case, the rough plumbing inspector gave the OK for a certain island venting technique. The different final inspector said it must be changed, and Gomez plumbing just fixed it promptly, all within the original quote. Of course we waited for a second final inspection before getting the project closed (schedule early!) Gomez is now our go-to plumber.

Expert Water Heater Repair in San Jose And Surrounding Areas, CA
When your water heater stops working, Gomez Sewer and Drain is ready to help. We provide water heater repair for homes across San Jose, Campbell, Los Gatos, Palo Alto, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. Our technicians diagnose and fix the most common issues: no hot water, inconsistent temperatures, tank leaks, rumbling or popping noises, and pressure relief valve problems. One local factor every South Bay homeowner should know: San Jose Water Company delivers water at 11 to 26 grains per gallon of hardness across much of its service area. That mineral load accelerates sediment buildup inside tanks, forces heating elements to work harder, and shortens equipment life. We account for these local water conditions in every repair visit. Whether your unit is a standard tank or a tankless system, we inspect the full setup, explain what we find, and give you a clear repair plan before any work begins. Call Gomez Sewer and Drain to schedule water heater repair service in your area.

Water Heater Repair FAQ
Common questions about water heater repair in San Jose and Surrounding Areas, CA.
If your unit is under 10 years old and the repair cost is less than half the price of a new unit, repair is usually the right call. Our technicians in San Jose give you an honest assessment before any work starts.
Rumbling or popping noises almost always point to sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank. Campbell's hard water accelerates this mineral accumulation, and a professional flush can often clear the noise and restore efficiency.
Yes, we repair leaking water heaters throughout Sunnyvale. A leak can come from a loose connection, a faulty valve, or a corroded tank, and our technicians identify the source before recommending a fix.
Running out of hot water quickly often points to sediment insulating the heating element or a failing thermostat. We inspect both during every service call in Santa Clara.
Yes, we service both tank and tankless water heaters in Palo Alto and Los Gatos. Tankless units have different components, including flow sensors and heat exchangers, and our technicians are trained on both system types.
Rusty or discolored water is a sign that your tank may be corroding internally and needs a professional inspection. Contact Gomez Sewer and Drain in San Jose to have the unit evaluated before the problem worsens.
