Plumbing for River Homes & Rentals
Guerneville and the lower Russian River are full of older cabins and cottages that were built as summer places and have been added onto ever since. Pipes run through low crawl spaces, water heaters sit in sheds and under houses, and some homes have been through high water more than once. We drive out from our shop in Cotati, find the real problem and fix it so it holds up.
A lot of Guerneville homes are also vacation rentals, where a leak or no hot water on turnover day means a bad review. Owners and property managers can text us photos, book online, or call — we'll give you the price before work starts and let you know what's urgent and what can wait.
What We See in Guerneville Homes
After high water
When the river comes up, water heaters, gas controls and pipes under the house can take a hit. After the water goes down, we check and replace flood-damaged water heaters, repair or replace damaged supply lines and fixtures, and can raise a replacement water heater higher where the space allows. (Call your gas company first if you smell gas.)
Older cabins and add-ons
Many river cabins have a patchwork of old galvanized pipe, newer plastic and copper, with valves that haven't been turned in years. We find leaks in tight crawl spaces, replace old supply lines, and add shutoff valves so the next problem is easier to stop.
Vacation rentals
For rental owners, we fix water heaters, running toilets, leaking faucets and slow drains, and install tankless units and smart water shutoff valves that can catch a leak while the house is empty.
