Hayward Is Home
We Find the Problem, Then Fix It
Our shop is at 23673 Connecticut St in Hayward. Most calls start with a symptom: a leak you can't trace, pressure that dropped, a drain that keeps backing up, or hot water that runs out. We track down the actual cause, explain it, then complete the repair or installation. When we camera a line, you get the video.
A lot of that work is in older homes. The City's Housing Element counts about 80 percent of Hayward homes as built before 1990, and the 1950s were the biggest building decade. If your house still has its original supply pipe and it's leaking in more than one spot, a repipe can make more sense than chasing one leak after another. We'll tell you which one fits.
We also handle new construction plumbing in Hayward, with permits and inspection scheduling covered for the work we're hired to do.
We work all over town, including North Hayward, Downtown, Upper B Street, Mission Foothill, Harder/Tennyson, Jackson Triangle, Santa Clara, Southgate, Mt. Eden, Whitman Mocine, Longwood/Winton Grove, Mission Garin and the Hayward Hills.

Sewer, Water and Permits in Hayward
Sewer
Most Hayward properties are on the City of Hayward sewer system. Some are on Oro Loma Sanitary District sewer, and a few still use a private septic tank.
On City sewer, the lateral is the owner's all the way to the main. That includes the pipe under the sidewalk and the street and the connection at the main, and work at the main needs a City encroachment permit.
In Oro Loma's area, a sale that enters escrow on or after August 1, 2026 needs a Sewer Lateral Compliance Certificate: a camera run plus an air or water test, with a District representative there. Large additions and new ADUs can trigger it too.
Water and gas
Most Hayward properties get water from the City of Hayward, which buys it from the San Francisco PUC's Hetch Hetchy system. Some properties get water from EBMUD. PG&E supplies gas across Hayward, and we're PG&E OQ qualified for gas and electrical work.
Permits
Plumbing permits go through the City's Building Division. The Permit Center is on the first floor of City Hall at 777 B Street, and applications run through the e-Permits portal. Hayward now approves plastic pipe, including PEX, ABS and PVC.

Common Questions
Hayward Plumbing Questions
On City of Hayward sewer, the owner does. The private lateral is yours all the way to the connection at the main. We camera the line first, give you the video, and handle the permits for the repair.
Only if your property is in Oro Loma Sanitary District, which serves some parts of Hayward. The District's program page has a map to check your address. If it is, a sale needs a Sewer Lateral Compliance Certificate before title transfers.
Hayward's Building Division approves plastic pipe, including PEX, so it's one of the options. Before we talk materials, we find out why the old lines are failing and whether you need a full repipe or just one section. We handle the permit and the inspections.
A cleanout is a capped access point so the line can be cameraed and cleared. An overflow relief device is a cap on the outside cleanout that pops off, so a backup spills outside instead of inside. A backwater valve is a one-way valve on the building sewer: sewage flows out but not back in. We install all three.
Yes. Call anytime. If we can't pick up, we'll call you back, help you limit the damage over the phone, and book the first available visit. If sewage is coming out of a manhole or into the street, that's the City's: call (510) 881-7967 (weekdays, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.) or (510) 293-7000 after hours.
