Drain & Water offers comprehensive drain cleaning and drain repair services using professional-grade equipment that goes far beyond what a bottle of chemical cleaner can do.
Many Sunnyvale homes — especially mid-century properties in neighborhoods like Ponderosa Park and Lakewood — have older clay or cast iron drain lines that are prone to root intrusion and deterioration. Our free video camera inspection pinpoints the exact problem so you only pay for the repair you actually need.

Water Heater Installation, Repair & Maintenance in Sunnyvale
Repair, Replacement & Installation
Your water heater works harder than you think — powering showers, dishwashers, and laundry every day. When it fails, you need a plumber who can diagnose the issue fast and offer cost-effective solutions. Drain & Water provides full water heater services for both tank and tankless systems.
Most tank water heaters last 8–12 years, while tankless units can last 20+ years with proper maintenance. If your unit is over 10 years old and requiring frequent repairs, upgrading to a high-efficiency model can lower your energy bills and provide endless hot water.
Pro Tip: Flush your water heater tank annually to remove sediment buildup. This simple maintenance step can extend the life of your unit by several years and improve heating efficiency.Our Solutions

Advanced Leak Detection & Pipe Repair in Sunnyvale
Hidden water leaks can silently cause thousands of dollars in structural damage, mold growth, and inflated water bills. Drain & Water uses non-invasive leak detection technology to locate leaks behind walls, under slabs, and in ceilings — without tearing apart your home.
Sunnyvale’s mix of Eichler homes, mid-century ranches, and newer developments means plumbing systems vary widely. Our technicians have experience with properties ranging from historic 1800s-era homes to contemporary builds, so we know what to look for in every type of construction.
Pro Tip: Check your water meter when no water is being used in the house. If the dial is still moving, you likely have a hidden leak. Learn more about the 7 early warning signs of a hidden leak.

Complete Repiping Services for Sunnyvale Homes
If your Sunnyvale home has galvanized steel, polybutylene, or aging copper pipes, a whole-house repipe may be the smartest long-term investment you can make. Drain & Water provides complete repiping services using modern materials like PEX and copper, tailored to your home’s specific needs.
Pro Tip: Not sure whether PEX or copper is right for your repipe? Read our guide on PEX vs. copper piping to make an informed decision.
Financing is available through Wisetack to make repiping affordable for every homeowner.
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 Sunnyvale 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 Sunnyvale
Sunnyvale homeowners choose Drain & Water because we combine specialized expertise with genuine, family-owned customer care. Here’s what sets us apart:
Clogged Drains & Sewer Backups
From kitchen sink blockages to main sewer line backups caused by tree root intrusion, we clear it all using hydro jetting and professional drain snaking.
Water Heater Failures
Whether your tank is leaking, producing lukewarm water, or making strange noises, we diagnose and repair or replace water heaters the same day.
Hidden Water Leaks & Slab Leaks
Many Sunnyvale homes sit on concrete slabs, making slab leaks a common and costly issue that requires specialized detection equipment.
Running Toilets & Dripping Faucets
These seemingly minor issues can waste hundreds of gallons of water per month and inflate your utility bills.
Low Water Pressure Issues
Corroded galvanized pipes, mineral buildup, or a failing pressure regulator can all cause frustratingly low water pressure throughout your home.
Aging or Corroded Pipes
Older Sunnyvale homes with original galvanized or cast iron plumbing are prone to corrosion, leaks, and eventual failure — making repiping a smart preventive investment.
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.

Plumbing Tips for Sunnyvale Homeowners
Keeping your plumbing system in top shape doesn’t require a license — just a little awareness and preventive care. Here are expert tips from the Drain & Water team:
- Schedule annual drain maintenance — Professional drain cleaning once a year prevents buildup and catches small problems before they become expensive emergencies.
- Insulate exposed pipes — While Sunnyvale doesn’t see freezing temperatures often, cold snaps can still cause pipes in garages and crawl spaces to burst.
- Know your shut-off valves — Locate your main water shut-off and individual fixture shut-offs so you can act fast during a leak.
- Don’t ignore slow drains — A slow drain is an early warning sign of a developing clog or pipe issue. Address it before it becomes a full backup.
- Test your water pressure — Ideal residential water pressure is between 40–60 PSI. Pressure above 80 PSI can damage pipes and fixtures over time. A pressure regulator adjustment is a simple fix.
- Upgrade old supply hoses — Replace rubber washing machine and dishwasher hoses with braided stainless steel versions every 5 years to prevent burst hose flooding
