Heating and Plumbing for Berkeley's Older Homes
Berkeley's older homes are some of the most distinctive in the East Bay. Craftsman bungalows in Elmwood and Thousand Oaks, brown shingles tucked into the Claremont Hills, stucco Mediterraneans in South Berkeley, and the older homes of Kensington, each with its own construction era and its own set of mechanical quirks. A lot of these houses are still running original hydronic systems that haven't had a specialist's hands on them in decades.

What Our Neighbors Are Saying
After hearing an increasingly loud hissing sound in my kitchen wall, I gave Afterglow a call, worried it was a gas leak. Mniska was prompt, professional and focused. He also took time to explain what steps he was taking to hone in on the problem. He was able to fix the leaky hot water pipe in my wall skillfully and smoothly.
Excellent service! They answered all of my questions. They caught other things that we needed to fix. Fast response and finished the project quickly!
I had an automatic water shut-off valve installed today, and Mniska did an excellent job. He was very polite, professional, and explained all my options clearly before coming out. He arrived on time, worked efficiently, and completed the installation quickly. Everything was done neatly and professionally. I really appreciate the great service and would definitely recommend him.
