We work across the city's neighborhoods: Monta Loma, Cuesta Park, Rex Manor, the Whisman area, Jackson Park, and Downtown. The city's water comes from the Hetch Hetchy system via the SFPUC, with Valley Water and local wells in the mix — good water, but even good water can't save 70-year-old pipes under concrete.
Slab Leaks in Eichler and Mid-Century Homes
Eichlers are famous for their radiant floor heating — copper tubing embedded directly in the slab. When that tubing (or a domestic water line) develops a pinhole, the signs are subtle: a warm patch on the floor that shouldn't be warm, a heating zone that won't cool down, a water bill creeping upward. Our slab leak detection in Mountain View uses acoustic and thermal imaging tuned for exactly this construction, pinpointing the leak before any concrete is opened.
Repairs respect the architecture. We favor rerouting domestic lines overhead rather than chasing tubing through a historic slab, and we coordinate radiant-heat issues carefully. Every option comes with upfront pricing and a plain-English explanation.
Repipes and Water Heaters for Mid-Century Mountain View
Beyond slabs, Monta Loma's 1950s homes are reaching the end of their original galvanized and early-copper supply lines. Our whole-home repiping in Mountain View renews these systems with modern piping — better pressure, clean water, no more pinholes — while preserving the home's mid-century character.
We also handle water heater services in Mountain View, drain cleaning in Mountain View, fixture installs, and garbage disposals across all neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions
**My Eichler's floor has a warm spot. Is that a slab leak?**
It could be — especially if the warm area doesn't match the radiant heating zones, or if it persists when the heat is off. It can also indicate a domestic hot-water line leaking under the slab. Thermal imaging tells us which one it is without opening the floor.
Can you repair radiant heating tubing in an Eichler? We diagnose it precisely first. Depending on the tubing's condition and the leak's location, options range from targeted repair to abandoning the failed loop. We'll explain what your system needs — no guesswork in a 70-year-old slab. You'll understand all your options before we do any work.
Do you work on non-Eichler mid-century homes too? Yes. Monta Loma's Mackay and Mardell homes, Jackson Park's postwar ranches, and the rest of Mountain View's mid-century stock are all familiar territory. Same slab expertise, same careful approach — whatever the builder, we know how these homes were put together.
Do you serve the Whisman and Cuesta Park neighborhoods? Yes. Whisman, Cuesta Park, Rex Manor, Jackson Park, Monta Loma, and Downtown Mountain View are all in our service area. From Eichler tracts to newer townhomes, we bring the same pinpoint leak detection and upfront pricing everywhere in the city.
