Plumbing Resources & Expert Advice
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean to have an Engineering A License?
An Engineering A license is a specialized California contractor license that authorizes us to work on fixed works and infrastructure. For you, this means we are legally permitted to perform sewer repairs and excavations in the public right-of-way (the street/sidewalk area), which standard plumbers cannot do.
How far does your service area extend?
We proudly serve a 50-mile radius from National City, covering all of San Diego County. This includes Oceanside, Escondido, La Jolla, Carlsbad, El Cajon, and Chula Vista.
Do you handle the permits for street sewer repairs?
Yes. As an Engineering A firm, we handle the entire administrative process, including securing city encroachment permits, managing traffic control plans, and coordinating with municipal inspectors.
Can you manage a full bathroom remodel from start to finish?
Absolutely. With our General B Contractor License, we act as your single point of contact for the entire renovation. We manage everything from the plumbing rough-in and electrical to the tile, cabinetry, and final fixture installation.
What is the benefit of a "One-Stop Shop"?
Efficiency and accountability. Instead of managing three different contractors (a plumber, an engineer, and a remodeler), you work with one team. This prevents scheduling delays and ensures that the plumbing infrastructure perfectly matches the final aesthetic design.
Why should I choose hydro-jetting over standard snaking?
Standard snaking only pokes a hole through a clog. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the interior walls of your pipes, removing grease, scale, and tree roots entirely, which restores your line to nearly new condition.
How do I know if my leak is under the concrete slab?
Common signs of a slab leak include unexplained warm spots on your floor, the sound of running water when all faucets are off, or a sudden, dramatic spike in your water bill. We use acoustic detection to find these without breaking your floor first.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency services?
Yes. We understand that sewer backups and burst pipes don't wait for business hours. Our emergency team is available 24/7 throughout our entire 50-mile service area.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. We are fully licensed (Engineering A, General B, and C36 Plumbing #1029234), bonded, and insured. This protects both our technicians and your property during every project.
What kind of water filtration systems do you install?
We offer various solutions, including whole-home carbon filtration, water softeners to combat San Diego's hard water, and Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems for bottled-quality drinking water at your kitchen sink.
