SEWER MASTER® SERVICE

Plumbing Services in Napa, California

Are you feeling a mix of frustration, panic or anger over something that’s gone wrong with your plumbing? After all, it seems to work just fine for days, weeks and even years on end until one day – it’s more than just a few strands of hair clogging up the drain. Now it feels a little embarrassing. And we just want you to know we feel your pain!
We’ve seen it all. From action figures blocking sewer lines to unmentionables doing something unmentionable in your pipes, we understand. [Bleep] happens, and it’s okay. Accidents happen … in more ways than one!
At Ken Mays Plumbing, Inc., we’ve got multiple service trucks in our fleet at the ready – 24/7, every day of the year. We know it’s crucial to respond quickly to every plumbing emergency. So we do!
Each truck is custom-designed and custom-equipped with all the tools our technician needs to solve your problem and put your worries to rest. Each truck carries replacement pipes, fittings, fixtures, flanges, valves, nuts, bolts, cutters, solders, heaters, coolers, disposals and – sometimes – even the kitchen sink too. It’s all in there so we can work efficiently and effectively for you.
Each technician has been trained by Ken Mays Plumbing, Inc. to ensure work is completed to the highest of standards. And each technician has completed a rigorous background check and drug testing so you can feel safe with our plumbers in your home or workplace.

New Construction and Major Projects

We can save you thousands of dollars by guiding you through the most efficient design layout for your “wet walls.” Let us help you choose the most effective drain to match the GPM (gallons per minute) flow from your new tub faucet. And if you’re out in the countryside, let us show you how we can prevent major disasters with your septic system, saving you from expensive replacement costs and extending the life of your septic tank (not to mention the frustration of managing a major replacement project and discomfort of long-term nose holding while you wait for project completion!).
At Ken Mays Plumbing, Inc., our ultimate goal is to manage your plumbing issues so well they don’t even cross your mind. Your plumbing just works the way it’s supposed to. Call us to learn more.
The bottom line is getting your water from here to there, exactly along the route chosen and installed by your Ken Mays Plumbing, Inc. crew.

Emergency Services

We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, every day of the year to handle your plumbing emergencies. Call 707-226-9232 now to talk to a plumbing technician who will help you.

Plumbing Repairs

Our plumbing repair service includes everything from stopped-up drains in the bathroom to problems in the kitchen, utility room and more. It also includes leaking faucets, valves, shower heads, sprayers, pipes, traps, drains, toilets, garbage disposals, ice makers, refrigerators, washing machine connection lines, outdoor faucets and pipes, hot water heaters, tankless heaters and more.

 Pipes can burst, corrode and rust through; seals can fail; and deposits can build up in plumbing lines. Septic systems can back up, leak, fail to drain properly and even worse.

Residential and Commercial Services

We’ve been serving the North Bay communities for more than a quarter-century. From private homes to apartment buildings, offices, industrial and professional buildings and complexes – no job is too small or too large for our staff. We offer free estimates and stand behind our work 100 percent.

Sewer inspection and cleaning

A backed-up sewer line can be hazardous to your home, potentially preventing all of your individual drains from carrying away all waste and gray water from your home. Sources of blockages can include everything – from your little boy’s Lego toys to your favorite oak tree’s roots infesting the line.

Don’t wait to resolve this problem, as solutions become more complicated the longer you wait. Ask about our Sewer Masters® services, including video inspection and an evaluation of whether or not Sewer Masters® is appropriate for your sewer problem.

Septic system troubleshooting

A septic system provides private waste removal for homes that are not connected to local sewers. It has three main parts:
  • The septic tank
  • A drainfield for the treated waste water
  • The soil beneath the drainfield
Waste is filtered to the soil, where components in the soil neutralize bacteria and chemicals before they reach groundwater or nearby rivers and lakes. Proper maintenance of septic systems ensures the longevity of the system. However, older tanks and systems can show signs of failure through corrosion and other problems. Please ask us for assistance in troubleshooting problems with your septic system.

Drain Cleaning

Keeping your drains clear is essential to their long life. Any stoppage or clogging will contribute to early corrosion and decay of your pipes. Early signs of problems include slowing of water draining, back-ups, new smells in the line and more.

Outdoor drains may be affected by rodent infestations or tree and shrub roots, as well as soil shifts causing cracks or breaks in the lines. Ask us about our video inspection services and the best ways to maintain your plumbing for longevity.

Hot Water Heaters

Instant replacement service

We provide instant replacement services for both tank and tankless water heaters. Our trucks come fully stocked with water heaters and repair parts to get you hot water as soon as possible.
Also, you get the peace of mind that we are service agents for all of the water heaters we install. Our technicians are fully trained in water heater repair and replacement.

Choosing the right hot water heater

Above are two diagrams of: A) A traditional tank-type water heater and B) A tankless or on-demand water heater.
  • Energy efficiency – Tank-type water heaters offer approximately 60 percent energy efficiency since the tank holds a large amount of water that must constantly be reheated to stay hot – whether or not you use it. A tankless water heater offers approximately 83 percent to 98 percent energy efficiency since it only heats the water you need and use on an on-demand basis.
  • Price – Conventional water heaters are generally less expensive than tankless water heaters upon initial installation. However, it is important to examine the long-term higher cost of gas delivery required for conventional water heaters over many years. Therefore, it is important to review both installation costs and gas costs when determining the best solution for your home.
  • Location –  If space is at a premium, you may wish to consider the tankless water heater since it can be installed almost anywhere inside or out. A conventional water heater, on the other hand, requires dedicated space with appropriate venting and secure strapping.
  • Capacity – Depending upon the size of your home or apartment complex, hot water capacity is an important factor to consider in your decision. Most conventional water heaters only contain enough hot water to fill a bathtub before a new tankful of water must be heated. Whereas, tankless water heaters have no limitation on capacity.
Please ask us which system may be most appropriate for your home. We are happy to provide free estimates and consultations to help you choose the best hot water heater for your needs.

Appliance hookups

Call us to install your major appliance hookups for sinks, bathtubs, showers, toilets, dishwashers, ice makers, refrigerator drinking water, water filters, garbage disposals, outdoor kitchen fixtures, built-in coffee makers, laundry and utility plumbing, drinking fountains, water features, gray water irrigation, ponds, streams and more. If water moves through it, use an expert plumber to ensure the hookup is completed correctly.

Fixture installations

From a new bidet to an above-counter vessel sink, Ken Mays Plumbing, Inc. is well-versed in the installation of major home and office plumbing fixtures. In recent years, a number of changes in the design of low-flow toilets, above-counter vessel lavatories, wall-mounted faucets and lever handles, and goose-neck faucets in the kitchen have altered traditional plumbing methods.

Of course, it is our job to stay on top of changes and new techniques and technologies in the plumbing industry in order to best assist you. Ask us how we can help ensure your home improvement or new construction goes smoothly and efficiently.
