Plumber in Communications Hill, townhomes on the hillside
Communications Hill is one of San Jose's newer neighborhoods, built on the hillside south of downtown under a 1992 city plan. Its townhomes and newer houses need a different kind of plumbing care than the older valley neighborhoods.
Quick answer
Communications Hill is covered from our North San Jose service office, and phones are answered 24/7. Built out under a 1992 city plan as a dense hillside neighborhood of townhomes, condominiums and houses, it brings us calls for tankless and compact water heaters, leaks between units, and fixture repairs rather than the failing galvanized pipe common in older parts of the city.
A planned neighborhood on the hill
Communications Hill sits in the San Juan Bautista Hills between Highway 87 and Monterey Road, north of Hillsdale Avenue. In 1992 the City Council approved the Communications Hill Specific Plan for about 500 acres as a dense, pedestrian-oriented neighborhood, and it has filled in with townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes.
Newer homes mean newer plumbing, usually plastic supply lines and modern drain piping, so the repairs here look different from the repiping jobs in older valley neighborhoods.
Water heaters in tight spaces
Townhomes often put the water heater in a closet or a compact garage corner, and many use tankless units. A tankless heater needs yearly descaling to keep running well; tankless water heater service covers that, and a water heater repair visit sorts out a tank that has stopped heating or started leaking into a finished space.
Leaks between units and fixtures
In attached homes, a leak can show up in a neighbor's ceiling before it shows up in yours. Finding the source quickly matters, and leak detection does that without opening several walls. Day-to-day calls are fixtures: running toilets, dripping faucets and slow shower drains, handled under toilet repair and faucet repair.
