San Jose Plumbing Services
Drain&Water is based in Northern California’s largest city, San Jose, and serves the entire Bay Area, including Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
San Jose’s large geographic area includes older areas built in the 1800s, such as Downtown San Jose (DTSJ), the Rose Garden, Willow Glen, Alviso, and East San Jose. Both Willow Glen and Alviso were once independent cities annexed to San Jose largely so that residents could get access to San Jose’s sewer system, which would have been prohibitively expensive for the small, fledgling communities.
Drain&Water specializes in underground plumbing systems—storm drains, sewer lines, and water mains. Our technicians analyze plumbing systems for homeowners and commercial property owners in the San Jose, California area. Our expertise includes fixing slow moving drains and conducting video camera inspections to undertaking complete renovations of drain and water main systems through modern trenchless technologies such as pipelining.
Slow-moving drains lead to more serious problems if not addressed properly. The use of video camera inspections to identify unseen underground problems can save time and money, and repairs can be made without traditional excavation methods. It’s important to have an expert analyze and maintain your plumbing systems to ensure the safety and functionality of your property.
Willow Glen
Once one of the best farming areas around the San José, California pueblo, Willow Glen grew up around the California Gold Rush. Willow Glen was an independent incorporated city for nine years, from 1927 until 1936. Today it is part of San Jose, California and is considered one of its “heritage neighborhoods.”
Historical architecture such as the Roberto-Suñol Adobe and vintage and restored Victorian-era homes lend character to Willow Glen’s streets. Older homes and neighborhoods like those in Willow Glen have specialized plumbing needs, due to aging water and drain pipes. Many homes build in the 19th and 20th Centuries still have cast iron drain and sewer lines that crack, corrode, leak, experience hard water buildup and get misaligned.
California’s 1925 Mattoon Act doomed Willow Glen’s survival as an independent city but it brought water mains or sanitary sewers to residents of Willow Glen. It also restricted the dumping sewage dumping into the Los Gatos Creek. The Mattoon Act encouraged the formation of assessment districts for city improvements and assessed property owners with septic systems. Most Willow Glen homeowners had their own septic tanks. Willow Glen’s absence of an integrated sewer system was a driving factor in Willow Glen’s incorporation into the city of San José.
Willow Glen residents essentially needed to construct a sewage system for Willow Glen or accept annexation to San José and connect to its sewer lines. An election to fund a new sewer system failed to achieve a two-thirds majority. A second election in 1936 sealed Willow Glen’s fate. Willow Glen’s voters elected to become part of the city of San José.
The Rose Garden
San Jose’s Rose Garden is one of its most prestigious neighborhoods. It is one of San José’s oldest subdivisions and noted on 1877 Chapman & Davis tract map. Many wealthy residents built mansions in The Rose Garden during San Jose’s pioneering and agricultural days.
The Rose Garden includes San Jose’s historic Shasta Hanchett Park neighborhood. Many of the homes were built between 1915 and 1930 in Craftsman, Mission Revival and Spanish eclectic styles. A few Prairie-style houses and Queen Anne style Victorian houses from an earlier period can be found in the Rose Garden as well.
The Hanchett Park neighborhood, commenced in 1907 by Lewis Hanchett, brought electric streetlights, streetcar service and a modern sewer system to the Rose Garden area.
