EXCELLENT Based on 49 reviews Posted on Barbara WeissTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got 3 estimates for a trenchless replacement of my sewer pipe from the front yard to the street. I was very impressed by Alex who came out to look over the project in order to make an accurate estimate. He made notes of my concerns about certain large plants which would need to be uprooted and assured me that they would be set aside and replanted. It was also necessary to remove 3 stones from a custom walkway near the entry point of their equipment and, again, Alex made a note of the extra attention required and included it in his written estimate. Alex explained the process, step by step from exposure of pipe, to hole digging, to permit and replacement. He gave me a best and worst case timeline (depending on when a city inspector would be available to sign off). The estimate was in my email box by the end of the day. The crew arrived on schedule and all work was done promptly and completed on schedule. There was just one hour when I was unable to flush the toilet due to the work in progress. Thomas was there to oversee the project and make sure things were done correctly and that care was taken to protect my landscaping and stone pathway. I could not be more satisfied with the work done and how much attention was paid by Thomas to leaving my property in good and clean, tidy repair. I recommend this company!Posted on gudni gudnasonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have had guys come out to snake a toilet when two other contractors had failed to clear the clog. Admittedly, it was not easy… I know this because their snake came with an inspection camera and a video feed. They had their work cut out for them. The clog was not just at the toilet, but continued far down the plumbing line. They worked really hard, we’re really fair and professional. Most of all they got the job done, and got it done right! Thanks! You will be my go to in the future.Posted on David SchneiderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fantastic! TrenchFree connected me with Axel at Drain & Water to scope out my sewer line woes. Their thorough attention to detail at the free estimate and competitive pricing won me over, and they did not disappoint! Prompt, efficient, and high-quality work. I was kept updated every step of the way, turning what could have been a major headache into a stress-free repair.Posted on Sergio MunozTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Drain & Water have been servicing company facilities since the beginning of 2025 and without a doubt Axel and Thomas always get the work done in a timely manner at an affordable price.Posted on Karin McClungTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our sewer line backed up yesterday. This morning we were in desperate need of getting this problem fixed ASAP. Two years ago DRAIN AND WATER, INC had done an incredible installation of a TRENCHLESS DRAIN in our yard, so I called them to see if they also cleared blocked sewer drains. I spoke with Oscar, explained the situation and he arranged to have a truck come out. IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES, their truck arrived with Thomas and Axel who got right to work and had the blockage removed within 15 minutes! It was amazing! Axel and Thomas are true professionals, they were kind, courteous, and explained what needed to be done. They also gave us information about other services DRAIN AND WATER, INC offer. I highly recommend DRAIN AND WATER, INC and will definitely call them in the future for plumbing and drain problems. Thank you Oscar, Axel and Thomas, for a great job! TWO BIG THUMBS UP 👍👍 AND FIVE STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐!Posted on Daphna YagourTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very professional, reliable team. I will definitely continue to work with them.Posted on Eduardo InzunzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had a drain line repaired in the crawl space of my home, and I was impressed with the service. From the moment I called, Axel responded promptly, clearly explained the problem, and outlined exactly how it would be fixed. The repair was scheduled for the very next day, and the team arrived right on time. Axel, Thomas, and Victor demonstrated exceptional professionalism throughout the job—keeping me informed every step of the way. Working in a crawl space is no easy task, but they handled it with skill, efficiency, and attention to detail to ensure the repair was done right. They documented their work thoroughly, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Even after working in tight, dirty conditions, they left the area clean—a true sign of the pride they take in their craft. If you’re looking for a company that delivers prompt, professional, and clean service, I highly recommend Axel and his team at Drain & Water.Posted on Willie KimTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our house was built over 50 years ago, and we pretty much remodeled every part of the house except the sewer lines under the house. And of course, last week we had a sewage disaster in our garage. We first called one company that is known for doing good work for really low prices. They were going to need to dig up the concrete in our newly remodeled garage in several spaces and take nearly a week to complete the project. I vaguely remembered that Drain & Water approached these projects differently because of their trenchless technology. So I called for an estimate and Axel & Thomas came out to look at the problem. They explained how their solution could work, and gave me an estimate that was very competitive, wouldn't need to break up concrete in our garage, and was faster. Because I didn't know anyone else who had used them before, I was a little cautious, but it turned out to be a great decision. Axel and Thomas' team was extremely professional, clean, and careful. They were always punctual, and did a fantastic job. After they were finished with the job, they showed me everything they did and I couldn't be happier. Thank you Drain & Water -- I highly recommend this company!Posted on Veronica PrezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. they were prompt in time and explained everything that needed to be explained very well.

Drain Cleaning & Repair Services in Milpitas, CA
Slow drains, recurring clogs, and foul odors signal problems that store-bought drain cleaners can’t fix. Drain and Water’s drain cleaning services in Milpitas use advanced techniques to thoroughly clear blockages and restore proper flow—without damaging your pipes or landscaping.
Our drain services include professional drain snaking for stubborn clogs, hydro jetting for complete pipe cleaning, video camera inspections to identify hidden problems, drain line repair for damaged pipes, and drain replacement using trenchless methods. We offer free video camera inspections for homeowners, giving you a clear picture of your drain’s condition before recommending solutions.
Pro Tip: Never pour cooking grease down your kitchen drain. Even with hot water, grease solidifies in pipes and traps food particles, creating stubborn clogs. Instead, let grease cool and dispose of it in the trash.
Our Solutions
- Drain cleaning – Remove hair, grease, soap scum, and debris buildup
- Hydro jetting – High-pressure water cleaning for stubborn clogs (up to 4,000 PSI)
- Drain snaking – Quick solution for minor blockages
- Kitchen sink drain repair – Fix slow-draining or clogged kitchen sinks
- Bathroom drain cleaning – Clear shower, tub, and sink clogs
- Main line cleaning – Address clogs in your primary drain line
- Preventive drain maintenance – Keep drains flowing freely year-round
Common causes we fix: Hair buildup, grease accumulation, food debris, soap scum, tree root intrusion, and foreign objects.
Pro Tip: Never use chemical drain cleaners on persistent clogs. These harsh chemicals can damage your pipes, especially in older Milpitas homes with galvanized or cast iron plumbing. Professional hydro jetting is safer, more effective, and actually cleans your pipes rather than just punching a hole through the clog.
Expert Water Heater Services
Repair, Replacement & Installation
Nothing disrupts your morning routine like a cold shower. When your water heater fails, Drain and Water’s water heater specialists in Milpitas provide fast repairs and expert installations of both traditional tank and modern tankless systems.
Our water heater services include emergency water heater repairs, tank water heater replacement, tankless water heater installation, water heater maintenance and flushing, expansion tank installation, and temperature and pressure relief valve replacement. We work with all major brands and can help you choose the most energy-efficient option for your Milpitas home.
Milpitas’ moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup inside water heaters, reducing efficiency and shortening lifespan. We recommend annual water heater flushing to remove sediment, extend equipment life, improve energy efficiency, and prevent premature failure. Our technicians also check anode rods, test pressure relief valves, and ensure your water heater meets California’s seismic strapping requirements.
Considering an upgrade? Tankless water heaters are increasingly popular in Milpitas for their energy efficiency, unlimited hot water supply, space-saving design, and 20+ year lifespan. We’ll help you determine if tankless is right for your household’s hot water demands and budget.
Our Solutions
Water heaters are one of the most frequently serviced plumbing appliances. We handle:
- Water heater repair – Fix no hot water, strange noises, and leaks
- Water heater replacement – Install new units when repairs aren’t cost-effective
- Tankless water heater installation – Upgrade to energy-efficient on-demand hot water
- Traditional tank water heater installation – Expert installation of gas and electric models
- Water heater maintenance – Extend lifespan with regular tune-ups
- Emergency water heater service – Same-day repairs when you’re without hot water
Brands we service: Rheem, Bradford White, Navien, A.O. Smith, and more.
Pro Tip:If your water heater is over 10 years old and showing signs of rust or leaking, replacement is usually more cost-effective than repair. Modern water heaters are significantly more energy-efficient, potentially saving you hundreds annually on utility bills.
Advanced Leak Detection & Repair Services in Milpitas
Hidden water leaks waste thousands of gallons annually and cause extensive property damage. Drain and Water’s leak detection services in Milpitas use state-of-the-art technology to pinpoint leaks without destructive exploratory digging.
Our leak detection and repair services include electronic leak detection equipment, slab leak detection and repair, water line leak repair, gas line leak detection and repair, pressure testing, and thermal imaging cameras. We can locate leaks behind walls, under concrete slabs, and underground—then repair them using minimally invasive techniques.
Signs you may have a hidden leak include unexplained increases in water bills, sound of running water when fixtures are off, warm spots on floors (slab leaks), damp or discolored walls and ceilings, mold or mildew odors, and foundation cracks or settling. Milpitas homes built on concrete slabs are particularly vulnerable to slab leaks, where copper pipes corrode and leak beneath the foundation.
Our trenchless leak repair methods often eliminate the need to jackhammer through your flooring or excavate your yard. We can reroute water lines through attics or walls, or use epoxy pipe lining to seal leaks from the inside—preserving your home’s structure and landscaping.
Our Solutions
Leaks can occur anywhere in your plumbing system. We provide:
- Water leak detection – Advanced technology locates hidden leaks
- Pipe leak repair – Fix leaking pipes before they cause major damage
- Slab leak detection & repair – Locate and fix leaks under concrete foundations
- Faucet leak repair – Stop dripping faucets that waste water
- Toilet leak repair – Fix leaks at the base or tank
- Water line leak repair – Repair leaks in main water supply lines
Why leaks matter: Even small leaks waste thousands of gallons annually and can cause foundation damage, mold growth, and structural issues.
Pro Tip: Install a smart water monitoring system that alerts you to unusual water usage patterns. Early leak detection can save you thousands in water damage repairs and prevent mold growth.
Fixture Repair & Installation Services
Upgrading your plumbing fixtures improves functionality, enhances aesthetics, and can significantly reduce water consumption. Drain and Water provides professional fixture installation in Milpitas for all your plumbing needs.
Our fixture services include toilet repair and replacement, faucet installation and repair, sink installation, garbage disposal repair and replacement, shower and bathtub fixtures, and water-efficient fixture upgrades. We ensure proper installation that prevents leaks and maximizes fixture lifespan.
California’s water conservation requirements make fixture upgrades particularly valuable for Milpitas homeowners. Modern low-flow toilets, WaterSense-certified faucets, and efficient showerheads can reduce your water usage by 20-60% without sacrificing performance. We’ll help you select fixtures that meet California plumbing codes while matching your home’s style and your budget.
Common fixture problems we solve include running toilets that waste water, dripping faucets, weak water pressure, garbage disposals that jam or leak, and outdated fixtures that don’t meet current codes. Our technicians carry common replacement parts and can often complete repairs in a single visit.
Our Solutions
Toilet problems are among the most common plumbing service calls. We fix:
- Running toilets – Replace faulty flappers, fill valves, and overflow tubes
- Clogged toilets – Clear stubborn blockages with professional equipment
- Toilet leaks – Repair leaks at the base, tank, or supply line
- Weak flushing – Restore proper flushing power
- Toilet installation – Install new toilets and upgrade old units
- Wax ring replacement – Stop leaks and sewer gas odors at the base
- Faucet repair – Fix dripping, leaking, or malfunctioning faucets
- Faucet installation – Install kitchen and bathroom faucets
- Fixture replacement – Upgrade sinks, tubs, and shower fixtures
- Garbage disposal repair – Fix jammed or leaking disposals
- Garbage disposal installation – Install new units
Pro Tip: A running toilet can waste up to 200 gallons of water per day. If you hear your toilet refilling when no one has used it, call for repairs immediately to avoid sky-high water bills.
Comprehensive Sewer Line Services
Sewer line problems are among the most disruptive and expensive plumbing issues homeowners face. Drain and Water specializes in sewer line repair in Milpitas using advanced trenchless technology that eliminates the need for destructive excavation.
Our sewer services include video camera sewer inspections (free for homeowners), trenchless sewer line repair, sewer line replacement, pipe lining (CIPP), pipe bursting, hydro jetting for sewer cleaning, and root removal. We serve properties from historic homes with aging clay pipes to modern developments with PVC systems.
Many Milpitas homes, especially in older neighborhoods, have clay or cast iron sewer lines that are 40-60+ years old. These aging pipes are susceptible to tree root intrusion, cracks and breaks, offset joints, and complete collapse. Our free video camera inspection reveals your sewer line’s exact condition, allowing us to recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Our exclusive TrenchFree™ technology allows us to repair or replace sewer lines without tearing up your driveway, landscaping, or hardscaping. Pipe lining creates a new pipe inside the old one, while pipe bursting replaces the entire line—both with minimal surface disruption. This saves you thousands in landscape restoration costs and completes the job in days instead of weeks.
Our Solutions
- Drain Cleaning – Remove buildup and restore flow
- Drain Snaking – Fast relief for common clogs
- Hydro Jetting – High-pressure cleaning for tough blockages and root intrusion
- Drain Repair – Fix damaged drain lines quickly
- Drain Replacement – Install new drains when repair isn’t enough
- Sewer Repair – Targeted fixes for cracked or broken sewer lines
- Sewer Replacement – Complete main line replacement with trenchless options
- Sewer Camera Inspection – See exactly what’s wrong before we dig
- Repiping – Upgrade aging underground pipe systems
What is trenchless plumbing? A modern method that repairs or replaces underground pipes through small access points—no digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping.
Pro Tip: Have your sewer line inspected every 3-5 years if you have mature trees near your sewer line, a home built before 1980, or have experienced recurring drain backups. Preventive maintenance is far less expensive than emergency sewer replacement.
Gas Line Services & Safety
Natural gas powers many Milpitas homes’ water heaters, furnaces, stoves, and dryers. Gas line problems require immediate professional attention due to safety risks. Drain and Water’s licensed technicians provide expert gas line services in Milpitas with safety as our top priority.
Our gas line services include gas leak detection and repair, gas line installation for new appliances, gas line replacement, pressure testing, and emergency gas line repairs. We’re licensed for C-36 (plumbing) and C-12 (earthwork and paving) work, ensuring comprehensive service for underground gas line projects.
Warning signs of gas leaks include sulfur or “rotten egg” smell, hissing sounds near gas lines, dead vegetation over gas lines, physical symptoms like dizziness or nausea, and higher-than-normal gas bills. If you suspect a gas leak, evacuate immediately, don’t use electrical switches or create sparks, call 911 and your gas company from a safe location, and then call Drain and Water for emergency repairs.
Milpitas’ seismic activity makes proper gas line installation critical. We ensure all gas lines meet California’s strict earthquake safety codes, including flexible connectors, proper support and strapping, and automatic shutoff valves where required.
Our Solutions
- Gas Leak Detection – Fast, accurate detection with specialized equipment
- Gas Line Repair – Safe, code-compliant fixes
- Gas Line Replacement – Upgrade old or damaged gas lines with trenchless options
Pro Tip: Install natural gas detectors near gas appliances and sleeping areas. These inexpensive devices provide early warning of dangerous gas leaks, giving you time to evacuate safely.
Innovative Pipe Lining & Repair Solutions
Traditional pipe repair meant digging up your yard, driveway, or even breaking through your home’s foundation. Drain and Water’s trenchless pipe lining in Milpitas offers a better solution that’s faster, less disruptive, and often more affordable.
Our trenchless services include CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) lining, brush-on epoxy liner application, pipe bursting for full replacement, spot repairs for localized damage, and horizontal directional drilling. These innovative methods allow us to repair or replace underground pipes with minimal excavation—typically just small access points at each end.
Pipe lining works by inserting a resin-saturated liner into your existing pipe, then inflating and curing it to create a seamless new pipe inside the old one. This “pipe within a pipe” is jointless, root-resistant, and can last 50+ years. It’s ideal for repairing cracked pipes, sealing leaking joints, preventing root intrusion, and restoring flow capacity.
For pipes too damaged to line, pipe bursting simultaneously breaks apart the old pipe while pulling new pipe into place—all underground. This complete replacement method works for sewer lines, water lines, and gas lines without the landscape destruction of traditional excavation.
Our Trenchless Pipe Solutions
- Trenchless Sewer Line Repair – Fix broken pipes without excavation
- CIPP Pipe Lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe) – Create a new pipe inside your old one
- Pipe Bursting – Replace collapsed or severely damaged lines
- Pipe Relining – Restore structural integrity and extend pipe life
- Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – Install new lines under obstacles
- Pneumatic Boring – Precision underground pipe installation
- Brush-On Liner – Targeted repairs for localized damage
Pro Tip: Pipe lining is an excellent option if you have recurring root intrusion problems. The seamless liner prevents roots from entering your pipes at joints and cracks, eliminating the need for annual rooter service and protecting your sewer line from future damage.
Pro Tip: Trenchless pipe repair typically costs 30-50% less than traditional dig-and-replace methods when you factor in landscape restoration, hardscape repair, and the shorter project timeline.
Complete Repiping Services
Older Milpitas homes with galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes often need complete repiping to ensure safe, reliable water delivery. Drain and Water’s repiping services in Milpitas replace outdated plumbing with modern, durable materials.
Our repiping services include whole-house repiping, partial repiping for problem areas, PEX and copper pipe installation, water line replacement, and sewer line replacement. We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily routine and always leave your home clean.
Signs your home needs repiping include discolored (rusty) water, frequent leaks, low water pressure throughout the house, visible corrosion on exposed pipes, and pipes installed before 1970 (galvanized) or 1978-1995 (polybutylene). Repiping is a significant investment, but it eliminates constant repairs, improves water quality and pressure, increases home value, and provides peace of mind.
We primarily use PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) for repiping because it’s flexible and easy to install, resistant to corrosion and scale, freeze-resistant, and cost-effective. For homes where copper is preferred or required, we install Type L copper pipe with proper support and protection.
If you’re experiencing any of these warning signs, your plumbing system is crying out for help:
- Discolored or rusty water coming from your taps
- Persistent low water pressure throughout your home
- Frequent pipe leaks requiring constant repairs
- Corroded or galvanized pipes installed decades ago
- Strange metallic taste in your drinking water
- Visible corrosion on exposed pipes
- Water damage on walls, ceilings, or foundations
Pro Tip: If you’re planning a major renovation, it’s the perfect time to repipe. With walls already open, repiping costs significantly less and causes minimal additional disruption.
Pro Tip: Many Milpitas homes built in the 1950s-1970s still have original galvanized steel pipes that are nearing the end of their lifespan. Proactive repiping prevents emergency situations and water damage while increasing your home’s value.

Common Plumbing Problems We Solve in Milpitas
Milpitas homeowners face unique plumbing challenges due to the area’s hard water, aging infrastructure, and mature landscaping. Here are the most common issues we solve:
Sewer Line Root Intrusion
Mature trees in established Milpitas neighborhoods send roots seeking water into sewer lines, causing blockages and pipe damage that require hydro jetting or trenchless repair.
Hard Water Scale Buildup
Milpitas’ moderately hard water deposits minerals inside pipes, water heaters, and fixtures, reducing efficiency and requiring regular maintenance or water softener installation.
Slab Leaks in Concrete Foundations
Copper pipes embedded in concrete slabs corrode over time, causing hidden leaks that damage foundations and require specialized detection and trenchless repair methods.
Aging Clay and Cast Iron Sewer Pipes
Homes built before 1980 often have deteriorating clay or cast iron sewer lines that crack, offset, or collapse, necessitating video inspection and trenchless replacement.
Low Water Pressure Issues
Corroded galvanized pipes, pressure regulator failures, or municipal supply problems cause frustrating low water pressure that requires professional diagnosis and repair.
Water Heater Failures
Sediment accumulation from hard water, aging components, and lack of maintenance cause premature water heater failure, requiring repair or energy-efficient replacement.
Our experienced plumbers have seen and solved every plumbing problem imaginable. We bring decades of combined experience and the latest technology to diagnose problems accurately and provide lasting solutions.

Essential Plumbing Tips for Milpitas Homeowners
Protect your home and save money with these expert plumbing maintenance tips from Drain and Water:
Maintenance Tips:
Prevent drain clogs proactively: Use drain screens in all sinks and tubs, never pour grease down drains, flush drains monthly with hot water, and schedule professional drain cleaning annually for homes with mature trees.
Maintain your water heater: Flush your tank annually to remove sediment, test the pressure relief valve yearly, inspect the anode rod every 3-5 years, and set temperature to 120°F for efficiency and safety.
Protect pipes from hard water damage: Consider installing a water softener, flush your water heater more frequently, clean faucet aerators regularly, and inspect exposed pipes for scale buildup.
Know your home’s plumbing system: Locate and label your main water shutoff valve, know where your sewer cleanout is located, understand which fixtures share drain lines, and keep our number handy for emergencies: (408) 564-0580.
Watch for warning signs: Address small leaks immediately before they worsen, investigate unexplained water bill increases, don’t ignore slow drains or gurgling sounds, and schedule inspections if your home is over 25 years old.
Prepare for plumbing emergencies: Keep our 24/7 emergency number saved in your phone, know how to shut off water to individual fixtures, keep a plunger and basic tools accessible, and never attempt DIY repairs on gas lines or major leaks.
