Our Specialty Plumbing Services
Hydro Jetting
When traditional drain cleaning methods don’t cut it, hydro jetting is the solution. Using high-pressure water jets, we clear out grease, scale, sludge, and even tree roots from sewer and drain lines. It’s safe for your pipes and far more effective than chemical cleaners or standard snaking.
Hydro jetting is ideal for:
- Recurring drain backups
- Restaurant or commercial drain maintenance
- Removing years of buildup in older plumbing systems
Video Camera Inspections
Don’t guess what’s causing your plumbing issue — let us see inside your pipes. Our waterproof, high-definition cameras are fed through your drain or sewer cleanout, giving us a real-time view of blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and corrosion.
We use video inspections for:
- Diagnosing sewer problems before digging
- Verifying drain clogs or collapsed pipes
- Real estate plumbing inspections
Slab Leak Detection & Repair
A slab leak occurs when pipes running beneath your concrete foundation begin to leak — often silently. These hidden leaks can cause serious structural damage, mold growth, and water waste.
We use advanced leak detection equipment to locate the exact source of the problem without unnecessary demolition. Once identified, we offer options such as:
- Rerouting water lines
- Spot repairs with minimal slab cutting
- Full repiping if needed
Signs of a slab leak include:
- Warm spots on floors
- Cracks in the foundation
- Unexplained spikes in your water bill
- The sound of running water with no fixtures on
Tankless Water Heater Descaling
Hard water in Southern California can take a toll on your tankless water heater over time. Mineral buildup (scale) reduces efficiency and shortens system lifespan. Our descaling service removes this buildup, improving performance and extending the life of your unit.
We recommend annual descaling to keep your tankless water heater running efficiently, especially in areas with high mineral content like San Clemente.
Trenchless Sewer Line Services
We also offer specialized trenchless repair and replacement solutions for sewer lines. Using pipe bursting and pipe relining techniques, we repair damaged sewer lines without digging up your landscaping or hardscape. For more details, visit our Drain & Sewer Services page.
