With over 15 years of experience, we are well-equipped to handle any crisis quickly and efficiently, minimizing damage to your property.

Why choose us for your emergency? We are a family-owned business built on integrity. You'll get experienced, licensed technicians—not subcontractors.

Old, corroded pipes can lead to low water pressure, discolored water, and persistent leaks that waste money and cause property damage. If your home in San Jose has outdated galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, a whole-house repipe with modern, durable copper or PEX piping may be the best long-term solution. Alert Plumbing, Inc. specializes in both partial and complete re-piping projects for residential and commercial properties.

This service is essential for homeowners dealing with frequent leaks, those renovating an older property, or anyone looking to increase their home's value and water quality. Our process begins with a thorough inspection to map your existing plumbing system. We then provide a detailed plan and transparent quote. Our skilled technicians execute the project with minimal disruption, carefully running new supply lines through walls, ceilings, and crawlspaces before connecting them to your fixtures and the main water line.

We also install and repair both water and gas lines, whether for new construction, appliance hookups, or replacing faulty existing lines. Our workmanship ensures reliable water flow and safe gas connections. Choosing Alert Plumbing means choosing a team that takes pride in precision—like the detailed work of running a new 100-foot copper line from the meter to the house—and backs it up with a commitment to customer satisfaction, even returning on a day off to make things right.

Slow drains, recurring clogs, and foul odors are signs of deeper problems within your drains or main sewer line. For homeowners and businesses in San Jose, ignoring these issues can lead to complete blockages, sewage backups, and costly repairs. Alert Plumbing, Inc. offers comprehensive drain and sewer services, from clearing a simple kitchen sink clog to excavating and replacing a damaged sewer line.

We serve customers dealing with stubborn clogs, tree root intrusion, or outdated pipes that need upgrading. Our approach starts with a high-definition video camera inspection, which we snake down your pipes to visually identify the exact location and nature of the blockage or damage. For tough clogs, we use powerful hydro-jetting that blasts away grease, scale, and roots with high-pressure water.

For severe issues, we provide expert sewer repair and replacement. This may involve traditional excavation or, where possible, trenchless methods to minimize disruption to your landscaping. We also install strategic clean-out access points to make future maintenance easy. Our team, known for being pleasant and hardworking, ensures the job is done thoroughly—from the initial snake to the final cleanup. We believe in long-term solutions, not quick fixes, which is why we stand behind our sewer work with service guarantees.

There's nothing more frustrating than a cold shower due to a failing water heater. Whether your unit is leaking, making strange noises, or not producing enough hot water, Alert Plumbing, Inc. provides expert water heater services for San Jose residents. We handle all types—traditional tank, tankless, electric, and gas—offering repair, maintenance, and full replacement.

This service is for anyone experiencing inconsistent hot water, rising energy bills, or visible signs of corrosion and leakage from their water heater. Our process begins with a diagnostic check to determine if a repair is feasible or if replacement is the more economical and reliable choice. We'll explain all your options, including energy-efficient models that can save you money in the long run.

Why trust us with this critical appliance? Our licensed plumbers are trained in the safe installation and venting of all water heater types. We handle the entire job: removing the old unit, ensuring proper code compliance for the new installation, and testing the system for safety and performance. We prioritize your safety and comfort, ensuring you have a reliable supply of hot water for your family's needs. With Alert Plumbing, you get a careful, code-compliant installation backed by our guarantee of quality.
