Plumbing work we handle
Water heater repair and installation
Heaters of both kinds, tank and tankless, are repaired, replaced and installed. Call with what yours is doing, and a licensed plumber takes a look.
Drain cleaning
Sinks that crawl, tubs that hold water, kitchen drains that gurgle and main lines that back up are all drain cleaning work. A camera can show what is in the way.
Leak detection and slab leaks
A hidden leak can sit under a slab, inside a wall or along a yard line. Leak detection tracks it down, and the repair follows once the spot is known.
Sewer line repair
Roots, breaks and sags in a sewer line are inspected by camera, then cleared, patched or replaced. A missing cleanout can be installed by a licensed plumber we connect you with.
Repiping and water lines
Whole-house repipes, partial repipes and new water lines from the meter are all on the table. We walk through the options by phone before anything is scheduled.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
A fixture that runs, drips, leaks or jams is a job for this service. Call with the fixture and what it is doing, and we arrange a repair or a swap.
The license that covers plumbing work
The Contractors State License Board issues California’s plumbing license, called the C-36. Under it fall water heaters, plus piping for water and gas that begins on the owner’s side of the utility meter and ends at the structure.
Under state law it is a misdemeanor to act as a contractor in California without a license.
The cleanout at your property line
The City of Poway cleans the sewer lateral from the property-line cleanout to the sewer main, and it does so free of charge. Poway says it is the only city in San Diego County that takes responsibility for that stretch.
If your property has no cleanout, the owner needs a licensed plumber to install one. A call to us is the place to start on that.
Building permits in Poway
With limited exceptions, the City of Poway requires a building permit whenever you construct, alter, move, add to, repair or demolish a structure.
When Poway homes were built
6.7 percent of Poway’s homes predate 1960, and half were built in or before 1978. More than 5 in every 10 went up before 1980. Whatever year your house dates from, call us and we talk through the supply lines, drain lines or water heater that concern you.
Our process
Describe the problem
Start with a call. Tell us which fixture or pipe is acting up, where you notice water and when it began.
Hear your free estimate
We go over a free, personalized estimate with you on the phone. There is no obligation to go ahead, and you are welcome to ask any questions.
Get the repair done
If you want to move forward, we connect you with a licensed plumber for the repair. You hear what the job involves before the work starts.
Free plumbing tools
Water heater sizing, heater age, winter lows and sewer pipe age each have a free tool here. They are the serial number decoder, the sewer line age checker, the size calculator, the tankless flow calculator and the freeze risk checker, and each asks for a few details.
Frequently asked questions
Can a handyman do plumbing work?
Not quite. An unlicensed handyman may take minor work only if no permit of any kind is needed and no one is hired to help. When a permit is involved, a licensed contractor has to do the job.
Are there lead service lines in the water system?
No. In California’s statewide inventory of lead service lines, the State Water Board found none among the water connections. A house can still have lead of its own, since old solder and fixtures made before 2014 can carry it.
Do I get an estimate before any work starts?
Yes. Describe the problem on the phone and the free estimate comes back personalized to it, with no obligation. Whether to go ahead is your decision.
