Glen Ellen Plumbing for Valley Homes
Glen Ellen is a small village with a big backyard — Jack London State Historic Park, Sonoma Creek and the hills of the Sonoma Valley. Homes here range from old cottages near the village to ranch houses on acreage and homes rebuilt after the 2017 fires. A lot of properties are on private wells, and hard, mineral-heavy water is a fact of life. We drive over from our shop in Cotati, show up when we say, explain the problem in plain English, give you the price before work starts and clean up before we leave.
If your water heater is crusted with scale, a faucet won't stop dripping, or a water line on a long rural lot has sprung a leak, we find the cause and give you honest options. Text us a photo of the problem, book online, or ask about financing for larger jobs like a water heater replacement or a new water line.
What We See in Glen Ellen Homes
Hard water and well water
Mineral-heavy water is hard on plumbing. We see water heaters packed with sediment, tankless units that need descaling, faucet cartridges and toilet valves worn out early, and white crust on fixtures. We flush, descale and replace what's needed, and can connect plumbing to a whole-house water treatment system.
Older cottages near the village
Older homes near Arnold Drive and Sonoma Creek often have a patchwork of galvanized, copper and plastic pipe, with shutoff valves that haven't been turned in years. We find leaks, replace tired supply lines and add shutoffs so the next problem is easier to stop.
Rural lots and rebuilt homes
On larger Glen Ellen lots the water line from the well or meter to the house can be long, and a leak can go unnoticed. Rebuilt homes have newer plumbing but still need tankless maintenance, pressure checks and the occasional fitting repair. We handle both.

Glen Ellen Plumbing FAQ
Do you offer same-day plumbing service in Glen Ellen?
Yes, same-day service is often available in Glen Ellen, depending on the day's schedule, and we take emergency calls. Call or text (707) 596-3095.
My Glen Ellen home has hard well water. How does that affect my plumbing?
Hard water leaves scale and sediment in water heaters, tankless units, faucets and toilet valves, so they wear out sooner. Flushing a tank water heater and descaling a tankless unit about once a year helps, and a whole-house water treatment system can protect fixtures.

Yes. We serve Kenwood, Boyes Hot Springs, Temelec and the City of Sonoma, along with Glen Ellen.
