Projects Across Town
From slab leaks under decades-old foundations to full-house repipes on coastal properties, our project history reflects the range of problems San Clemente homeowners bring us.
Each job on this page started with a phone call about something urgent, costly, or complicated. We've traced hidden leaks behind tiled shower walls, replaced corroded galvanized supply lines with clean copper and PEX runs, and swapped failing 40-gallon tanks for tankless systems that free up garage space and cut standby energy loss.
A good portion of our work involves the older homes near the pier and up the hillsides, where original plumbing has simply reached the end of its lifespan and needs thoughtful replacement rather than another patch. We document sewer camera inspections so customers can actually see the root intrusion or offset joint we're describing, then walk them through spot repair versus full replacement options.
Water heater installs, drain rerouting, fixture upgrades, and emergency shutoffs after a burst line — these are the everyday realities that fill our schedule. What ties these projects together is a commitment to fixing the underlying issue, not just quieting the symptom, so the same drain isn't backing up again next month.
The slab leak two plumbers missed
A homeowner near the pier had a water bill climbing month over month with no visible drip anywhere in the house. Two previous plumbers couldn't locate it. We pressure-tested the system, isolated the loss to a slab supply line, and pinpointed it without opening every wall — one clean repair, water bill back to normal.
- Non-invasive detection
- Slab supply repair
- Pressure verified
Galvanized out, copper & PEX in
An original-plumbing hillside home was down to a trickle at the upstairs fixtures — classic sign of galvanized pipe corroding shut from the inside. Rather than chase another patch, we planned a whole-home repipe route to minimize wall disruption, and restored full pressure with modern materials that will outlast the house.
- Whole-home repipe
- Copper & PEX
- Minimal wall opening
Burst pipe, stopped within the hour
A burst supply line on a Sunday morning was flooding a kitchen. Someone actually answered the phone, and we had the water stopped and the source isolated within the hour, then returned to complete the permanent repair once the emergency was contained. Fast response, then a proper fix — in that order.
- Same-hour shutoff
- Flood mitigation
- Permanent repair
Roots cleared, then proven gone
A recurring backup in a main sewer line turned out to be root intrusion at an offset joint. We hydro-jetted the line clean, ran a camera so the homeowner could see the difference for themselves, and laid out honest options for whether the joint needed spot repair now or monitoring.
- Hydro-jetting
- Camera inspection
- Root removal
The small jobs, done right
Not everything is a crisis. Running toilets, dripping faucets, a failed garbage disposal, new fixture installs — the everyday repairs still get our full attention and the same upfront pricing. These jobs are how a lot of our long-term customers first met us.
- Fixture replacement
- Disposals
- Shutoff valves
Called about a burst pipe on a Sunday. Someone actually answered and had it stopped within the hour. Lifesavers.
