Mako Plumbing and Sewer brings honest, expert water line service to San Francisco Bay Area homeowners — with free estimates, same-day response, and no pressure upselling.
Your main water line is the lifeline of your home. When something goes wrong — or when your line needs to move — you need a team that's honest, skilled, and responsive. Here's what sets Mako apart.
Roger or another team member can often come out within the hour to assess the situation and provide a clear, verbal quote — no waiting days for a callback.
Customers consistently report Mako's pricing is significantly lower than competitors — without sacrificing quality. No pressure, no inflated quotes.
From patching a failing section to fully relocating a main water line 40+ feet, Mako has the hands-on expertise to handle jobs of any complexity.
Mako uses camera inspection to diagnose problems accurately before any digging begins — so you know exactly what's needed and why.
Brothers Chris and Jimmy lead a team known for taking pride in their work. As one customer put it: *
This is a business where, as reviewer Joshua Robertson put it, "a handshake still means a handshake." You deal with real people who stand behind their work.
Your home's main water line connects your property to the municipal supply — and when it develops a leak, loses pressure, or needs to be moved for a renovation or landscaping project, the consequences can range from soggy landscaping to serious water damage. At Mako Plumbing and Sewer, we've handled everything from straightforward pipe repairs to major water line relocations, and we approach every job with the same commitment: diagnose it honestly, fix it right, and leave your home better than we found it.
Our main water line services cover the full range of issues Bay Area homeowners face:
Common warning signs that your main water line needs attention:
| Symptom | What It May Indicate |
|---|---|
| Unexplained spike in water bill | Slow leak in the main line |
| Low water pressure throughout home | Pipe damage, blockage, or corrosion |
| Wet or unusually green patches in yard | Underground leak near the line |
| Discolored or rusty water | Corroding pipe material |
| Water meter running when all fixtures are off | Active leak somewhere in the main line |
If you're seeing any of these signs, don't wait — small leaks become big repairs fast.
Real results, real customers — here's what our track record looks like.
Mako's average Yelp rating across 173 verified reviews — a consistent track record of 5-star service.
One of our documented water line jobs involved relocating an entire main water line 40 feet — a complex project completed to the customer's delight.
We regularly send a team member out within the hour of an inquiry, including after full days on other jobs.
Every job starts with a no-cost, no-obligation quote — delivered clearly, with no pressure to commit.
“Don't take our word for it — here's what Bay Area homeowners have shared about working with Mako.”

The most common signs are unexplained increases in your water bill, low pressure throughout the house, wet patches in your yard, or a water meter that keeps moving even when all fixtures are off. If you're seeing any of these, call us for a same-day assessment.
Yes — Mako provides free quotes, often the same day as your call. A knowledgeable team member will assess your situation and give you a clear, honest estimate before any work begins.
We do both. Mako has experience with full water line relocations — including a documented 40-foot relocation — as well as targeted repairs for leaks, corrosion, and pressure issues. We'll recommend the option that genuinely fits your situation.
We prioritize urgent calls and frequently dispatch a technician within the hour. Same-day and emergency service are available — we won't leave you dealing with an active leak overnight if we can help it.
Always. Our technicians use camera inspection where needed to show you exactly what's happening underground, and they take time to explain the problem in plain language. We believe an informed customer makes the best decisions — and we're not in the business of pushing work you don't need.
