Our Story
Over 40 Years of Plumbing Services
Providing quality plumbing services to San Jose residents
Cupertino Plumbing was established in 1965 by Bill Cardia, a master plumber, and an all-around good guy. People trusted Bill because they knew they could count on him — his work was top-notch and his rates were fair. These were values he passed on to his son, Frank Cardia.
During the 1970’s, Bill recognized the need for a community plumbing shop offering replacement parts, kitchen and bath fixtures, and trustworthy advice for both contractors and the do-it-yourself types. Bill purchased a storefront on De Anza Blvd. in Cupertino and opened a plumbing showroom for the public. During this time, Bill continued to hire and train apprentice plumbers, expanding his ability to offer quality and reliable plumbing service to existing and new customers throughout the community. Included on this team was his eldest son, Frank, who demonstrated the same enthusiasm, creativity, and knack for plumbing as his father.
Taking what he learned from his dad (Bill), Frank established FLC Plumbing, a full-service plumbing contractor, during the 1980’s. Bill semi-retired, after selling the storefront, but continued to operate Cupertino Plumbing’s service and repair business until he was diagnosed with Asbestos cancer in 1990. The passing of Bill Cardia was a great loss to the community, but Frank Cardia and FLC Plumbing stepped in to take care of Bill’s long-established customers by acquiring Cupertino Plumbing, continuing a legacy of great customer service and quality repairs. In the spirit of Bill’s plumbing showroom, Frank Cardia opened The Plumbing Bank, a unique bath and kitchen showroom on De Anza Blvd. in Cupertino.
In 1991, the company kept growing and expanding in bathroom remodeling and plumbing service repairs. In 2005, with the economy slowing, Cupertino Plumbing decided to downsize and move to a new location in Campbell. In 2008, Frank’s son, Frank, began working in the company, hence the third generation on the way. With the economy improving in 2012, it was time to expand once again and Cupertino Plumbing moved in 2013 and once again, due to expansion, in 2022 to our current location at 74 Dillon Ave, Campbell, CA, 95008
Cupertino Plumbing continues to offer unmatched quality and accountability in all areas of plumbing service including new installations, general maintenance, property management, bathroom remodeling repairs, and copper repiping (commercial and residential). If you need a full-service plumber, call us or visit the new showroom, located at 2784 S. Bascom Ave. San Jose, CA. 95124.

Let’s hear what our customers had to say…
We had Cupertino Plumbing replace all of our old galvanized and cast iron drain pipes, along with installing a new water heater and two new toilets. We are very happy with the work they did. It was a major multi-day project that required cutting holes in walls and ceilings. They were pleasant, professional, and responsive. Everything works great now, and the places where they patched the walls and ceilings look nice. A really good job. We definitely will call them for any future plumbing work.

This is a fantastic company (Cupertino Plumbing), I received excellent service from Mario. We texted back and forth on various questions I had regarding my kitchen water filter system and the airgap line for my dishwasher; he was always responsive. My previous plumber walked into our home without putting on booties and was unorganized, but Mario always put booties on his shoes which I appreciated, he was knowledgeable, organized, did very high quality work, communicates well, smiled a lot and was happy, and is now my go to guy for all future plumbing needs. Mario is best plumber I’ve known.
Jim Kuehnis
Cupertino Plumbing just replumbed our whole house and rebuilt our drainage system. They were efficient, communicative, and timely every day and went to great lengths to keep things clean and tidy. Every afternoon they would set expectations about the next day and every day they did what they say they would do which we very much appreciated. For big plumbing jobs they quality of workmanship and service can’t be beat.

Cupertino Plumbing is not the cheapest out there. They are on the competitive or expensive side. The reason to call them is for their outstanding professionalism, and the fact that they have a lot of people who can be there really soon when you need them.
Very good company. You can’t go wrong using this plumbing company for all your plumbing needs. No job too small. Their years of experience are very helpful in problem solving.
A rare instance of a plumbing company that is organized and acts very professionally. They take your calls promptly, follow-up, make sure to send you the best technician for your problem. Strong recommendation from me!
