When a pipe lets go or a drain backs up, you don't need a sales pitch, you need a licensed technician at your door with the right parts on the truck. That's what we run in San Rafael every single day.
Street Wise - Plumbing isn't a call center that forwards your job to whoever's cheapest that week. Our technicians carry state licensing, they're background-checked before they're handed a company vehicle, and every truck rolling through San Rafael, CA is stocked for the repairs we see most in this climate and these homes.
Our dispatchers know the neighborhoods of San Rafael well enough to tell you roughly what's driving a call before the truck even arrives — older sections tend toward galvanized pipe issues, newer builds toward fixture and appliance connections.
Our trucks are stocked before they leave the yard each morning, not after a customer calls — common valves, wax rings, supply lines, and fittings ride along so a San Rafael technician isn't making a parts-store run mid-repair.
These are the patterns our San Rafael dispatchers hear about most right before a job turns into an emergency call.
