Plumber in Burlingame

Burlingame is a neighborhood in the Greater North Park planning area, bordered by North Park to the north and east and South Park to the south. The City of San Diego recognizes it as a historic district, and its homes span Craftsman bungalow, Tudor Revival, Mission Revival, Spanish Colonial Revival, Prairie School, Art Deco and California Ranch styles; the Wegeforth-Wucher house is a city historical site.

What that means for your plumbing: in a historic home the goal is usually to update the plumbing without disturbing original finishes. That starts with finding out exactly which pipes are original and which have been replaced, then choosing between targeted repairs and a repipe routed to keep wall and floor openings to a minimum. In a historic district, work that changes a building’s exterior can need city review, so check before adding visible pipe runs. Older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals are worth a camera inspection before they back up.
