Repiping and Pipe Replacement in Alameda

Homes with failing polybutylene, corroded galvanized or pinhole-prone copper often need a repipe. We replace supply lines with PEX or copper, routing new lines through the attic and walls to avoid breaking the slab. Most homes are repiped in two to four days with water restored each night. We patch the drywall openings so the house is ready for paint.

Water Heater Repair and Replacement in Alameda, CA

We repair and replace tank and tankless water heaters from Rheem, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Navien and Rinnai. Common repairs include thermocouples, gas valves, elements and relief valves. When replacement is needed, we install to current code with proper venting, expansion tanks and drain pans. Many replacements are completed the same day.

Leak Repair and Slab Leak Service in Alameda

Many homes sit on concrete slabs, so a hidden leak under the floor can run for weeks before you see it. Warm spots on tile, a running meter or a spike in your water bill are common clues. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging and pressure tests to pinpoint the leak. Then we repair it directly, reroute the line overhead or recommend a repipe when leaks keep returning.

Slab Leak Detection & Repair in Alameda

Slab leaks are a serious concern for homes built on concrete foundations. Earthquakes and hillside soil movement are real risks in Northern California, so flexible connections and seismic straps help protect plumbing from sudden movement. Our technicians use modern, non-invasive acoustic and thermal imaging technology to accurately pinpoint the exact location of the leak under your foundation. Early detection is critical to prevent significant structural damage and costly water waste. Once located, we provide efficient repair options, which may include direct access, rerouting or pipe bursting, always choosing the least disruptive method for your home.

Gas Line Repair and Installation in Alameda, CA

Gas line issues require immediate attention from licensed professionals. Our residential plumbing service team is certified to handle gas line repairs, installations for new appliances and rerouting of existing lines. We conduct thorough leak detection using specialized equipment and perform all work to strict safety standards and local Northern California codes, providing the safe and efficient delivery of natural gas throughout your home.

Water Softener & Filtration in Alameda

Homes on hard water see scale on fixtures and water heaters, while very soft water can be slightly corrosive to older copper pipe. Hard water leads to mineral buildup in pipes and appliances. FBL Plumbing installs and services high-quality water softeners and whole-home filtration systems from trusted brands like Kinetico and Pelican Water. These systems protect your plumbing, extend the life of appliances and improve the taste and quality of your tap water. We assess your home's water hardness and recommend the most effective solution, delivering strong performance and efficiency for your needs.

Toilet Repair & Installation in Alameda

A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons of water a day, driving up your utility bills in Alameda. We diagnose and repair all common toilet issues, including constantly running water, weak flushing, clogs and leaks at the base. Our technicians can replace faulty flappers, fill valves, wax rings or entire toilet units with modern, water-efficient models. We work with all major brands, making sure of a proper seal and flush every time. We also make sure new installations are level and securely bolted to your bathroom floor.

Drain Cleaning and Clog Removal in Alameda

Slow drains and persistent clogs are frequent residential plumbing service calls. We use professional-grade drain snakes, hydro-jetting equipment and enzymatic cleaners to clear blockages from kitchen sinks, bathroom drains and main sewer lines. Our methods effectively remove grease buildup, hair, soap scum and tree roots that often get into older piping systems in Alameda, restoring full flow without damaging your pipes.
