Emergency Plumbing
AquaTek Plumbing provides immediate response for burst pipes, sewer backups, and other urgent plumbing issues. Our technicians operate 24 hours daily to minimize property damage and restore functionality. With rapid dispatch and fully equipped service vehicles, we resolve emergencies efficiently across the Bay Area.
Hydro Jetting
Our hydro jetting service clears stubborn clogs and buildup in drains and sewer lines using high-pressure water streams. This eco-friendly method removes grease, scale, and debris without damaging pipes. Ideal for commercial kitchens and residential systems requiring deep cleaning and preventive maintenance.
Commercial Repiping
We specialize in large-scale commercial repiping projects for office buildings, apartment complexes, and HOAs. Our team handles permit acquisition, system design, and installation of durable piping materials. Services include water supply line replacement and compliance with Bay Area building codes.
Water Heater Installation
AquaTek installs and repairs traditional and tankless water heaters for residential and commercial properties. Our technicians optimize energy efficiency and ensure proper sizing for consistent hot water supply. We service all major brands and offer extended warranties on new installations.
Leak Detection
Using advanced acoustic and thermal imaging tools, we locate hidden leaks in walls, floors, and underground lines. Our non-invasive methods minimize property disruption while identifying slab leaks and pipe corrosion. Emergency leak repair services are available 24/7 across the Bay Area.
