Your Santa Rosa plumber — based here, built here.
Santa Rosa is home base for Family 1st. It’s where the truck sleeps, and it’s the housing stock we know street by street — from pre-war bungalows near the JC to mid-century ranches in Montgomery Village, from Rincon Valley family homes to the newer subdivisions in the southwest and the rebuilt neighborhoods of Coffey Park and Fountaingrove.
Our hometown.
- Sonoma County’s seat and its largest city, incorporated in 1868.
- Home of Luther Burbank’s gardens and the Charles M. Schulz Museum — Peanuts was drawn here.
- Neighborhoods span pre-war bungalows to the post-2017 rebuilds of Coffey Park and Fountaingrove.
Why “Family 1st”? It isn’t a slogan. Andy’s son and daughter work in and around the business — so the family on the truck is the family doing the work, and Santa Rosa is the town they all come home to.
We plumb to the house you actually have.
Pre-war & mid-century neighborhoods
Homes from the 1920s–60s often still carry original galvanized supply lines and cast-iron or clay drains. Falling pressure, rusty morning water and recurring drain clogs are the classic symptoms — all diagnosable before anyone talks about big projects.
1970s–90s ranches and family homes
Mostly copper supply and ABS drains — generally healthy systems now reaching the age where water heaters, valves and original fixtures fail in clusters.
Rebuilt and new construction
Post-2017 rebuilds in Coffey Park and Fountaingrove are modern PEX-era homes. The plumbing questions here are warranty-grade workmanship, water heater sizing, and getting ADUs tied in correctly.
Hillside and rural-edge properties
Longer service lines, pressure regulators working harder, and well systems on the rural fringe — pressure and leak questions we work on constantly.
If you check one thing in a Santa Rosa home
Find out what your supply lines are made of. Pre-1965 homes often still carry original galvanized pipe, and falling pressure or rusty morning water is that pipe talking. Ten minutes with a gauge and a flashlight tells you more than any sales pitch.
The services Santa Rosa homes call us for.
I highly recommend this plumbing company. They responded right away, and sent out a technician within the hour to fix my plumbing issue. They were very courteous, took the time to explain how they were going to fix the issue, and cleaned up after themselves. Give them a call—you will not be disappointed!!
Same crew, same standard, every town.
Every review we show is quoted word for word from Google — 48 of them, all five stars. Here's one; the rest are a tap away.
Santa Rosa homeowner questions
Does Family 1st serve all of Santa Rosa?
Yes — Santa Rosa is our home city, and we work every neighborhood from Roseland to Fountaingrove, Rincon Valley to the west side.
My Santa Rosa home was built in the 1950s — should I be worried about the pipes?
Not worried — informed. If supply lines are original galvanized, they’re past their design life, and symptoms like falling pressure tell you where things stand. A quick inspection tells you what material you actually have and how it’s doing; plenty of mid-century homes have already been repiped.
Do you work on homes rebuilt after the 2017 fires?
Yes. Rebuilt homes are modern systems, and we handle their service needs — water heater service, fixture upgrades, ADU additions — along with warranty-era issues their builders left behind.
