Over 40 Years of Plumbing Experience in San Rafael

Marin County homeowners have called us for plumbing repairs since 1984. We’ve fixed thousands of leaks, replaced hundreds of water heaters, and cleared drains throughout San Rafael.

We explain what broke and why, then tell you the complete cost before we touch anything. No surprise charges or hourly rates that grow as we work.

Professional Plumbing Help When Your San Rafael Home Needs It

Small plumbing problems cost much more when they grow into major repairs. A dripping faucet wastes hundreds of gallons and wears out the valve. A slow drain means grease or debris is building up in your pipes until water stops moving completely.

plumbing emergency

Call us for fast plumbing help in San Rafael.

If you’re having a plumbing emergency, call us immediately at 831-244-8392.

Emergencies include burst pipes that flood rooms, sewer backups that create health hazards, and gas leaks that threaten safety. These problems need same-day response.

Our emergency crews arrive fast, assess the damage, and stop it from spreading. Then we make permanent repairs that prevent it from happening again.

Why should I call a plumber?

Call a plumber when water leaks, drains stop working, or fixtures break. Those problems don’t fix themselves and they get worse while you wait.

Licensed plumbers have equipment to find problems hidden in walls or underground. We diagnose the real issue, not the symptom. A slow drain might be a simple clog or it might signal a failing sewer line. You need someone who knows the difference.

Zach did a fantastic and determined job of conquering our leak from under our crawlspace. Bellows sent someone an hour after I called with a leak report, although it was the end of the day. He diagnosed the issue, got cold water working, and was back the next day with the parts for the hot. Great attitude and fabulous service. Thanks, team bellows!

I give high praise to Bellows for performing three different jobs in succession. First, after being called to have a look, a Bellows troubleshooter recommended we replace our 40-year-old central furnace. We opted to respect his professional judgement. A two-man crew came and got the job done efficiently and with little disturbance. We asked for someone to have a look at our equally old shower valve. A man came to estimate the job then returned to replace it another day. Perfect! We love that we no longer wrestle with the old valve. Last, we asked that someone come to look at our home lighting. A man came to help us formulate a plan. Another two-man crew came and began work. We discussed our needs and minor changes were made to improve our environment further. In every case, we were treated courteously. When they requested permission to make changes, they were forthright and benefitted our environment. A sticking point to me, a retired craftsman, is cleanliness. Every person entering our home was professionally neat and left not the slightest dust for us after they left. I am impressed. Overall, my wife and I spoke with many people from Bellows both in person and on the phone. We would like to stress our perception that in every case, we felt we were working with a family business. That is, we were addressed courteously, and as friends, not simply clients. A few weeks on and we still marvel that we waited so long to do this work. As you see, we're glad we chose Bellows. Thanks!

What San Rafael Homeowners Ask About Plumbing

Before San Rafael homeowners hire us, they want to know response times, repair costs, and warranty details. Here’s what we tell them.
How soon can you make it to my house in San Rafael?

We typically reach homes in San Rafael within a few hours, and emergency calls often get faster response. We offer 24 hour plumbing services and focus on giving you accurate appointment times so you can plan your day.

If a job takes longer than expected and delays our schedule, we contact you immediately with a new arrival window.

How much do plumbing services cost per hour in San Rafael, CA?

Typical Marin County plumbers bill $150 to $250 hourly with added trip charges. We price differently.

  • Unclogging drains: Set price determined by access point and blockage depth
  • Fixing leaks: Cost depends on pipe location and repair type, quoted before we start
  • Installing water heaters: One price covers equipment, installation, and permits
  • After-hours service: Same rates nights and weekends as regular hours

The quote we give is what you pay. If something changes during the job, we explain why and get your approval before continuing.

What type of warranty do you offer in San Rafael?

All our labor comes with a one-year warranty. Equipment warranties depend on what the manufacturer offers. Most water heaters include 6 to 12 year coverage on the tank. Pipes and valves range from one year to lifetime based on brand. We walk you through the coverage details when we quote your repair.
