Marin County's seat and largest city, San Rafael sits at the foot of Mount Tamalpais with a historic downtown, the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin Civic Center, and a mix of healthcare, professional services, and light industry. Heavy winter rainfall, hillside landslide risk, bayfront marsh, and high seismicity shape its engineering challenges.

What we design

Plumbing engineering for San Rafael hillside residential and custom homes is riser diagrams, fixture-unit math, and gas sizing done right the first time. Torch designs domestic water, sanitary, storm, and gas systems to the California plumbing code, details freeze protection for coastal marine to inland desert climate zones, and seals every isometric with a licensed PE.

  • Below-grade plumbing gets special attention in San Rafael — sump and ejector sizing, flood-level rim elevations, and backwater protection where the the San Rafael building department reviewer will ask for it.
  • Fixture counts per the California plumbing code for San Rafael hillside residential and custom homes: water closets, lavatories, and drinking fountains calculated by occupancy, with ADA clearances drawn — not assumed.
  • The fastest San Rafael, CA plumbing permits come from complete riser diagrams: our isometrics show every vent, trap, and cleanout so the San Rafael building department reviewers don't have to guess.
  • Specialty plumbing for San Rafael hillside residential and custom homes: medical gas outlets and alarm panels for healthcare, grease interceptors for restaurants, and acid-waste systems for labs — each with its own riser logic.
