Our technicians test electrical components, gas pilot assemblies, thermal expansion tanks, and temperature-pressure relief valves to locate the exact malfunction.

Tank & Tankless Water Heater Replacement

When tank corrosion or age makes repair impractical, replacing your system with a high-efficiency tank or tankless water heater restores reliable hot water.

Frequently Asked Questions — Palo Alto Plumbing

How fast can a plumber arrive at my Palo Alto home?

We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch across Palo Alto. For urgent leaks or sewer backups, our technicians typically arrive within 45 to 60 minutes.

Do you pull plumbing permits with the City of Palo Alto?

Yes. As a licensed Class A & C36 engineering contractor (#1089561), Heise's Plumbing manages all required permits and municipal inspections with the City of Palo Alto Building Inspection Division.

Why do Palo Alto sewer lines frequently clog?

Many Palo Alto properties feature mature trees whose roots aggressively penetrate older vitrified clay sewer pipes. Hard water mineral scaling also contributes to grease buildup in drain lines.
