Rancho Penasquitos Services

Emergency Plumbing Services

We’re known for our prompt arrivals, technical expertise, and efficient work.  Our emergency plumbing services are pretty much the same as our scheduled services, available anytime 24 hours a day every day of the year.

Drains and Sewer

We provide the full range of drain and sewer cleaning, repair, and replacement services.  For most jobs traditional cabling (drain snaking) gets the job done for grease as well as hair and soap scum clogs.  But for recurring problems, particularly those involving extensive grease build up, our hydro jetting services provide the most thorough drain cleaning possible.

If the clog is further down in the sewer line the same solutions usually apply, but there’s many more things that could be wrong.  Tree roots may have invaded, old clay lines may have collapsed, cast iron lines may have corroded, joints can separate, and the line can sag.  So we use our top-of-the-line sewer video cameras to quite literally take a look.  That way we’ll know the best drain or sewer cleaning approach, right from the start.

If there’s a serious problem our master plumbers are licensed for sewer repairs and replacements.  With the latest trenchless technologies (such as pipe lining and pipe bursting) that doesn’t necessarily mean jack hammering through pavement or digging up the lawn.

Leak Detection and Repair

Leaky faucets and gushers are easy to spot.  But our leak detection specialists have the latest electronic detection instruments for those that are tough to track down.  Together with their years of experience they can pinpoint the location without any unnecessary holes to add to the cost of a pipe repair.  And our master plumbers are well-qualified for gas line leak repairs and upgrades.

Slab leak repairs involve plumbing that runs underneath a concrete floor slab.  The most economical solution depends on where the slab leak is located, so accurate detection is especially important.  Options usually include spot repairs (breaking through the slab to repair a short section of pipe), re-routing new pipes in the attic or around the perimeter, and pipe lining (installing a cured in place pipe inside the existing line).

Water Heaters

Whether you have a propane, natural gas, or electric model our water heater specialists are expert trouble-shooters, going straight to the right repair to save time and money.  With our well-stocked trucks our water heater repairs rarely take more than a single visit.  If your current model is well past its warranty, is in poor condition, or needs an expensive repair we also perform economical water heater installation.  Replacements typically take just a couple of hours.

If it’s time for a replacement, consider high-performance models for significant energy savings.  We’re up to date on the latest energy regulations and technologies such as electric heat pumps now necessary to meet performance standards for electric units.  We’re also experts in installing, maintaining, and repairing tankless water heaters for energy savings and a never-ending supply of hot water.

And More

Our plumbing services also cover residential and commercial fixtures such as garbage disposals, faucets, sinks, showers, tubs, toilets and urinals.  Owner an older home or business?  In addition to updating fixtures we can re-pipe the entire facility for a trouble-free future.

Rancho Penasquitos

Do homes and businesses in Rancho Penasquitos really need water softeners?  In a word, yes.  Hard water is defined as having more than 7 grains per gallon (120 parts per million) per gallon of calcium carbonate or its equivalent.  Very hard is above 10.5 gr/gal.  Depending on the treatment plant and environmental conditions water in San Diego County comes in at 10.0 to 17 gr/gal, averaging around 14.6 — almost 1 1/2 times the threshold.  With a properly working water softener you’ll have cleaner laundry, healthier hair and skin, less scale build up, and longer lasting water heaters and other appliances.

Did You Know? “Penasquitos” is Spanish for “little cliffs.”  PQ was the first Mexican Land Grant in the county. Later the city served as a traveler’s way station then as a ranch until real estate development started in 1962.

Drain Cleaning, Sewer Cleaning

We’re the Lakeside drain cleaning experts for long-lasting solutions.  Our sewer cleaning services include video camera inspections.  By knowing the nature and location of the problem we’ll save you time and money.  You can even have a look yourself on a private YouTube video.

Leak Detection

Just because you can’t find a leak doesn’t mean that it’s not wasting water and slowly (sometimes not so slowly) causing water damage.  If you suspect a problem but can’t track it down, our leak detection experts can.  Using the latest in electronics they’ll pinpoint the location without making a lot of holes.  That includes hard to find slab leaks underneath concrete floors.  Our plumbers can then take care of leak repairs, including slab leak repairs with less digging and disruption than you might think.

Water Heaters

Our plumbers are experts at diagnosing water heater problems and going straight to the right repairs.  It rarely takes them more than one short visit to set everything right at your Lakeside home or business.  But if your heater is past its warranty or expected life (typically 8-12 for residential models, a few more years for commercial and premium models) it may be time for a replacement installation.  We’re experienced in standard models as well as up to date on the latest energy-efficiency models and technologies.  That includes tankless water heaters for energy savings and “endless” hot water.  We also provide manufacturer’s recommended annual maintenance for all types, maintaining performance and extending equipment lifetimes.

Residential Plumbers, Commercial Plumbers

We’re a full-service contractor employing both residential plumbing and commercial plumbing specialists.  Whether for home or high-usage commercial fixtures we’re ready for anything sinks, faucets, toilets, showers, tubs, and pipe repairs have to throw at us.  We also have experience and expertise in grease traps, back flow valves, and other special commercial plumbing features.  Unlike most Lakeside local plumbers we have master plumbers qualified for work on sewer lines, septic systems, gas lines, and boilers.

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing

When you call us you can count on quality work by professional plumbers and drain technicians, all direct employees.  Their expert diagnosis and efficient work keeps costs affordable.

In addition to workman’s compensation we maintain $1 million in liability insurance coverage.  Approved by the Compliance Depot, we’re members of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) as well as the SDCAA (San Diego County Apartment Association).  And of course we’re fully licensed and abide by Lakeside permit requirements and building codes.

Lakeside Water Quality

You probably love the Lakeside area’s rural setting, natural lake, and reservoirs.  You’ll be pleased to know that bestplaces.net rates Lakeside tap water quality at 75 out of 100 points, well above the national average.  But if you don’t have a water softener you’ll probably want to have us install one.  Water with more than 180 ppm (parts per million) of calcium carbonate (a natural, safe mineral) or equivalent is rated as “very hard.”  It scales up water heaters, dishes, and shower stalls dull your hair, and adds unwanted taste to coffee and tea. The Lakeside Water District reports levels ranging from 274 to 294 ppm (from the Skinner and Helix treatment plants) to as high as 600 ppm from Lakeside wells (https://lakesidewater.org/2017%20Newsletter.pdf?189db0&189db0).

Emergency Plumbing Services

There’s no need to ask us.  If it’s an emergency to you, our emergency plumbing services will be at your Pacific Beach location for expert trouble shooting and quality commercial and residential plumbing services.

Drain Cleaning, Sewer Cleaning

If a try or two with a plunger or liquid drain cleaner (never use dry lye-based products) doesn’t do the job then it’s time for our drain cleaning services.  We do the job right, so that clog won’t be back any time soon.

Sometimes the cause for slow draining or back up is in the main sewer line running out to the Pacific Beach system at the street.  There can be more possible kinds of blockage, so our sewer cleaning often begins with an in-pipe video inspection for grease and sludge accumulation, foreign objects, and tree roots as well for as cracked, corroded, or collapsed sewer lines.  We’re then ready to do the right sewer cleaning or repairs.

Cabling (drain snaking) isn’t 100% effective in removing grease and other build-up.  When that’s the case we can bring in our hydro jetting equipment for sewer and drain cleaning.  Powerful jets of water scour the insides of pipes back into like-new condition, and can even cut through most tree roots.

Pacific Beach Leak Detection and Repair

Small leaks can be difficult to locate, but still cause a great deal of water damage.  Yet even major leaks inside walls, above the ceiling, and under a concrete floor slab might not be at the same location that dampness surfaces.

Our team of commercial and residential plumbers include experts in leak detection.  They combine training, experience, and electronic leak detection instruments to determine if you indeed have a leak and then to reliably pinpoint the location.  That’s non-destructive so there’s only one hole for the actual leak repair.

Accurate location is especially important for slab leak repairs, as that has a strong influence on whether a spot repair (hacking through the concrete), re-piping (through the attic or around the foundation), or some other type of pipe repair is the best option.

Water Heaters

Our team serving Pacific Beach includes expert trouble shooters for electric as well as gas water heaters.  So when you need a water heater repair we’ll go straight to the actual problem, and with our well-stocked trucks we’ll almost always have the right repair parts.  No hot water?  A leak?  Strange smells or sounds?  No problem!

If a unit is nearing the end of its expected life (8-12 years, a few years longer for commercial models) then it’s probably time for a replacement by one of our water installation specialists.  You can choose a standard model or a high-efficiency gas or heat-pump model.  We’re also experienced in installing tankless water heaters that provide an essentially unlimited supply of hot water while saving energy.

Manufactures of all types recommend annual maintenance.  Our scheduled services include a safety and performance inspection, adjustments, and drain-and-flush.  You’ll have more hot water with lower energy use, and your heater will last longer.

Commercial Plumbing

Our licensed commercial plumbers are trained and experienced in the more complex plumbing and high-usage fixtures used in businesses and industrial facilities.  That includes master plumbers for sewage, septic, and gas line work as well as boiler installation, maintenance, and repair.  Experts in multi-family housing, we’re a member of SDCAA (San Diego County Apartment Association).

Our staff understands how hot water and freely running drains are important for any business, and vital for restaurants.  In addition to prompt and efficient emergency plumbing services we’ll be happy to review your facility and tailor a preventive maintenance schedule.

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing

With a full range of plumbing services we’re the only local plumber you’ll need in Pacific Beach.  All work is done by our own long-term employees.  Our drain technicians, plumbers, and master plumbers are highly trained for fast, efficient, and economical services.

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing is a California licensed plumbing contractor with full workman’s compensation and $1 million liability insurance.  We’re a member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and are approved by the Compliance Depot.

Pacific Beach Water Filtration

Like most of the US, Pacific Beach has hard water.  But like most of Southern California we have some of the hardest water in the nation.  In the San Diego area concentrations of natural calcium and magnesium come in at 229-325 parts per million (ppm) or 12.4-19.0 grains per gallon (gpg)– well above the threshold of 180 ppm (10.5 gpg) for very hard water. You can find the full details at https://www.sandiego.gov/water/quality/waterhardness.

Those minerals build up inside water heaters and on shower stalls, interfere with cleaning, and give tea and coffee an off-taste.  If you don’t already have a water softener we’ll be happy to install one.  We can also install and maintain under-sink activated charcoal and reverse-osmosis water filters for drinking water every bit as clean as bottled.

Local Plumbing Services La Jolla

We’re a fully licensed, insured, and bonded plumbing contractor serving La Jolla and beyond.  We’re ready for smaller jobs such as faucet and toilet repairs all the way up to pipe repair and gas line upgrades for apartment and commercial complexes.

Emergency Plumbing Services

If it’s an emergency to you, it’s an emergency to us.  We’ll be there promptly any time of the day or night, 24 hours a day 7 days a week.  Our emergency services include drain and sewer cleaning, garbage disposal repairs, and just about any residential plumbing or commercial plumbing need you might have.

La Jolla Drain Cleaning

Lye- and acid-based drain cleaning products simply aren’t safe, neither for you nor your pipes.  Liquid drain cleaners based on sodium hypochlorite (bleach) are often effective but you’re likely to have another clog before long, especially if it’s the kitchen sink that’s been giving you trouble.  Our experts are experienced in using cabling (drain snaking) to remove obstructions and as much build-up as possible.  When that’s not enough our advanced hydro jetting equipment can return drain pipes to “good as new” inside with high-pressure jets of water.

Sewer Cleaning

A backed up toilet isn’t the only reason you may need sewer cleaning.  All drains connect up to the sewer line that in turn connects to the La Jolla sewer system, so an obstruction or restriction can affect any fixture in a home or business.  The underlying cause may any of numerous possibilities such as a grease and sludge build up, tree roots, a foreign object getting flushed, or even a collapsed line.  To find out we start with an inspection using our top-of-the-line sewer video cameras.  Once we know the nature and location of the problem we can advise you on the best solution.  That’s not necessarily digging up your yard for a repair or replacement.  Our hydro jetting gear with special nozzles and higher pressure can clear most obstructions, including tree roots.

Leak Detection and Leak Repairs

If ignored even small leaks can lead to major water damage.  That often occurs inside walls and other places you can’t see, with little or no apparent clues.  So if you have any reason to suspect a leak, our leak detection specialists can “confirm or deny” and if needed track down the exact location.  They combine training, experience, and the latest electronics for the most accurate and dependable results.  Wherever the problem happens to be located we can then proceed with quality-workmanship leak repairs.

Slab Leak Repairs

If that leak is underneath the concrete slab foundation (the most common type of foundation in La Jolla) you’ll need a slab leak repair.  One standard method involves ripping up flooring and hacking through the concrete for a spot repair.  That’s highly disruptive, not to mention expensive when all costs are considered.  Our accurate location tells us if re-piping or other options are better alternatives for your slab leak repair.

Water Heaters

Having a water heater problem?  We’ll send an expert over right away.  Their troubleshooting expertise saves time and money, for what’s often a same-day repair.  If your electric or gas water heater is well past its warranty, has been giving you headaches, or has a leaking tank they can also handle replacement installations.  Most people choose a model similar to their current one, but we encourage you to consider the latest high-efficiency models and new technologies.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless water heaters have been in widespread use in other countries for decades, but are just now catching on around La Jolla.  Heating only the water you use, as you use it, they boost efficiency and provide a never-ending supply.  They’re small, so that electric models can be mounted under kitchen and bathroom sinks where they save both energy and water while providing the convenience of instant hot water.

Commercial Plumbers

Our team includes experts experienced in the special needs, fixtures, and complexities of commercial plumbing.  From lavatories in office suites to preventive maintenance and repiping in commercial complexes we have you covered.

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing

With a fast-response team of highly-trained professionals we’re your best choice for a plumber in La Jolla.  We never contract out jobs, and employ master plumbers certified for gas line work.  Whether for a same-day appointment or 24/7 emergency services we’ll arrive promptly in a clean uniform.  Our company is fully licensed and carries $1 million of insurance coverage in addition to workman’s compensation.  We’re a member in good standing of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) as well as the SDCAA (San Diego County Apartment Association), and are approved by the Compliance Depot.

La Jolla Water Quality

Tap water as delivered in La Jolla meets all federal and state health standards, as demonstrated by some 300,000 tests conducted each year.  Water hardness in its various sources range from 2.4 (soft) to 18.2 grains per gallon.  Averaging around 15 gr/gal. puts it in the very hard category (above 10.5).  That’s not a health issue, but it does lead to mineral deposits in the shower as well as inside water heaters and other appliances.  If you don’t already have one we recommend installing a whole-house water filter, and for the best in drinking water we can install an under-the-sink water filter.

Did you know… that the La Jolla Playhouse was founded by Gregory Peck together with Mel Ferrer and Dorothy McGuire way back in 1947?

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing

We’re a licensed California plumbing contractor, fully insured and bonded.  Approved by Compliance Depot, we employ highly trained technicians and licensed plumbers for fast diagnosis and quality workmanship.  Unlike many La Mesa local plumbers we have master plumbers, allowing us to work on sewer lines, gas lines, and boilers.  And we never subcontract our scheduled or emergency plumbing services.

Residential Plumbing

Our residential plumbers are experienced in all the routine home plumbing repair, replacement, and installation needs — leaky faucets, broken toilets, sinks, garbage disposals, and dishwashers.  We’re also your residential plumbing experts in tub and shower plumbing, leak detection, gas line upgrades, and complete re-piping.

Commercial Plumbing

Our commercial plumbers are familiar with all the quirks and problems of high-usage commercial plumbing fixtures, including flushometer adjustments and repair.  We’re also experts in pipe repair as well as in the special FOG (fats, oils, and grease) issues of restaurants and other facilities that handle food.  Unlike most La Mesa plumbing contractors we employ professionals certified for work on boilers.  We’d be happy to arrange a preventive maintenance schedule that includes pressure testing and pre-emptive drain and sewer cleaning, tailor-fit to your particular business.

Drain Cleaning

Have a backed-up or slow running drain?  One that keeps coming back?  Our La Mesa drain cleaning pros will take care of it for good.  Ordinary drain snaking (cabling) can’t completely remove many grease build ups.  When that’s the case they can use our advanced hydro jetting equipment to deal with the situation, leaving the inside of your drain pipes as clean and smooth as when they were new.

Sewer Cleaning

All drains and toilets connect up to a single line that runs out to the La Mesa sewer system at the street.  A particularly stubborn clogged toilet or several slow-flowing drains usually indicate the need for sewer cleaning.  Besides the usual drain problems (grease, grime, hair, lint, and so on) sewer lines can have a variety of other problems.  That includes foreign objects getting flushed, tree roots invading the pipe, cracks, and collapsed or bellied sections.  So we often start our sewer cleaning by using our top-of-the-line sewer video cameras for inspection and location.  You can have a look yourself, as a private YouTube video.  We can then proceed with the best and most economical solution.  That might be cabling or using an auger, or using a larger nozzle and higher pressure on our hydro jetting equipment to cut through tree roots and many other obstructions.  When absolutely necessary we can repair or replace sewer lines.

Water Heaters

Whatever the symptoms — little or no hot water, strange smells or noises, or leaks — our water heater specialists quickly diagnose electric and gas heaters and go straight to the problem.  Where necessary (such as a leaking tank or a unit well past its warranty period) they can install a replacement in a matter of just a few hours, often the same day you call.

Tankless water heaters are growing in popularity, thanks in no small part to their water- and energy-saving benefits.  You’ll also have “instant” hot water without the usual wait, and never run out in the middle of a relaxing shower.  We’re the La Mesa experts in sizing, installing, maintaining, and repairing tankless technologies.

Although most people neglect it, manufacturers recommend annual maintenance for their water heaters.  In addition to a safety check, our services include a drain-and-flush that removes sediment to improve performance and increase equipment lifetime.

Leak Detection in La Mesa

Have a leak but can’t track down its location?  Or suspect a leak but can’t find it?  Our leak detection specialist combines their training and experience with the latest electronic instruments to pinpoint the location without making a single hole.  Our local plumbers can then take care of leak repair.  That includes slab leak repairs for any pipes running under the concrete floor slab.  Here our leak detection expertise is especially important as an exact location is a big help in deciding if the repair should be by hacking through the concrete or by other less disruptive options.

La Mesa Water Quality

The Helix Water District assures quality by testing some 200 samples each day, from the source and throughout their distribution system.  You’ll be glad to know that they meet or exceed all standards and that there are no lead pipes in the system.  Tap water does test as very hard, at 17 grains per gallon (290 parts per million) — the threshold is 10.5 g/gal (180 ppm).  That’s not a health problem (it actually provides some naturally occurring calcium and magnesium), but it does interfere with cleaning and leaves scale build up that can damage appliances and fixtures.  We can install whole-house water softeners and under-sink filters to take care of any issues you might have.

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing is your expert local residential plumber.  We’re also the premier commercial plumber for San Clemente.  With licensed master plumbers we’re a fast professional full-service company experienced in supply, drain, sewer, septic, and gas line work.  We use only our in-house employees for quality and affordability, and never subcontract out jobs.

Our company is fully licensed and maintains $1 million in liability insurance in addition to workman’s compensation insurance.  We’re a proud member of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) as well as the San Diego County Apartment Association (SDCAA), and have payment plans available.

Our San Clemente Service Highlights

Our complete residential plumbing and commercial plumbing services include repair, installation, and maintenance for:  faucets, gas lines, garbage disposals, grease traps, re-piping, showers and tubs, sinks, toilets, and water filtration.  Whether you need preventive maintenance, a scheduled visit, or emergency plumbing services in San Clemente, we’ll be there.

Drain Cleaning

We’ll always send out the right drain cleaning technician with all the right equipment.  They fully understand the various types of clogs (grease, oils, fats, lint and fabric softener, hair and soap scum, and others) so they’ll be able to clear clogs quickly yet thoroughly.  If an accumulation of grease and sludge has lead to recurring problems, our advanced hydro-jetting equipment can return the inside of your drain pipes to like-new condition.  Hydro jetting can also be a valuable part of commercial drain maintenance for any facility that handles food.

Sewer Cleaning

Sometimes the cause of slow-running drains or a backed-up sink or toilet lies in the sewer line between your home or business and the San Clemente sewer system connection at the street.  When that’s the case our sewer cleaning experts use top-of-the-line sewer video cameras to locate and inspect the obstruction.  It could be a grease or sludge build up, tree roots, a foreign object, or a damaged sewer line.

Completely understanding the problem can make a big difference and save you money.  Often the solution is simply a matter of basic sewer cleaning.  In other situations we can use our high-pressure water jetting equipment to cut through tree roots, avoiding the cost and inconveniences of digging.  Except for older buildings sewer repair is rarely necessary.

Water Leak Detection and Repair in San Clemente

Leaks don’t just wastewater.  If ignored they lead to stains, mold, warped wood, and other water damage.  If you suspect you have a problem but can’t track it down, our leak detection specialists have you covered.  Using their experience combined with state-of-the-art electronic leak detection instruments they’ll know for sure if there is indeed a problem.  If there is, they’ll be able to locate it without making a bunch of holes.  We can then complete a leak repair, including various type of pipe repairs.

Slab Leak Repair

If your water, sewer, or gas leak is underneath the concrete floor slab you’ll need what’s called a slab leak repair.  Spot repairs involve hacking through that concrete, but in some cases that may be the most economical solution.  Depending on the location of the slab leak and the general condition of the pipes your options are likely to include routing new pipe around the outside of the slab as well as pipe lining (installing a cured-in-place inner lining).

Tankless Water Heaters

Without a big tank that continuously looses heat, tankless water heaters save energy big-time.  And if they’re installed at or near the point of use (say under a kitchen or bathroom cabinet) they save water — there’s no waiting for hot water to make its way to the tap.  They can also mean never running out of hot water. Our water heater specialists are experienced in installing, maintaining, and repairing tankless water heaters.

Hot Water Heaters

Having trouble with your water heater?  Funny sounds, not enough hot water, or simply no hot water at all? Our trouble shooters go directly to the real problem to save you money.  Most repairs take only a single visit of an hour or so.  Old one worn out?  We can complete a replacement water heater installation in just a couple of hours, often the same day you call.  To keep that investment lasting longer, manufacturers recommend annual drain-and-flush maintenance to remove sediments.  That also improves efficiency and heating capacity.  We would be happy to schedule regular service for you.

Water Quality in San Clemente

The City of San Clemente’s Utilities Division has been issuing annual water quality reports since 1990.  Their 2017 report shows tap water meeting or exceeding all standards. That says a lot considering that much of their supply is imported from the Colorado River. (http://san-clemente.org/home/showdocument?id=36986)

But residents and business alike do have problems with hard water.  Anything over 10.5 grains per gallon (gr/gal) or 180 parts per million (ppm) of calcium carbonate is considered very hard .  That’s a naturally occurring mineral, and actually contributes a little bit to a person’s daily supply of calcium.  San Clemente’s water tests at 17-18 gr/gal, 292-300 ppm.  That’s pretty common in Southern California, but it does mean mineral deposits on shower doors, scale build up in water heaters, less effective bathing and shampooing, and less than the best-tasting coffee and tea.  So many San Clemente homes and businesses install water softeners.

Why ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing?

We’re fast, professional, and affordable.  You’ll appreciate our expert diagnosis and top-quality work by well-trained and experienced local plumbers.  To assure our standards we never contract out plumbing services.  In addition to our licensed residential plumbers and commercial plumbers, our master plumbers are certified for work on sewer and gas lines in El Cajon and throughout the area.

We’re a fully licensed and insured California plumbing contractor, with $1 million in liability coverage plus workman’s comp and vehicle policies.  We’re a member of the BBB (Better Business Bureau) and are approved by the Compliance Depot.

El Cajon Emergency Plumbing Services

We work hard to earn your business because we want to be your El Cajon local plumber for life.  Whether for emergency plumbing services or scheduled work, you can count on us for no-nonsense trouble shooting and efficient work to save you time and money.

El Cajon Drain Cleaning and Sewer Cleaning

We’re specialists, with special equipment for the sewer and drain cleaning that many companies serving El Cajon simply don’t have.  For those tough kitchen drain clogs, we’ll do the job right so you won’t be calling a plumber again after just a few weeks as sometimes happens with rooter-only services.  For the very best in drain and sewer equipment, we can use our advanced hydro-jetting equipment to safely but completely blast away all grease, grime, debris, and obstruction.

If toilets or several fixtures are backing up you probably have a problem in the sewer line.  We’ll use our top-of-the line video inspection cameras to look all along the inside of the pipe to find tree roots, obstructions, and any line damage.  If cabling (drain snaking or using an auger) won’t be a long-lasting solution, our hydro jetting gear with special attachments can even cut its way through invading roots without any digging.

Leak Detection and Repair

Besides wasting precious water, most plumbing leaks are likely to lead to water damage sooner or later.  Using the latest leak detection instruments our experts can pinpoint the location of leaks hidden within walls or under the floor without making one hole after another.  Just a single access for the pipe repair itself.

We have no trouble locating problems even under flooring and several inches of concrete.  These are called slab leaks.  They can eventually undermine the foundation, leading to structural problems.  In most situations we can offer several slab leak repair options, including some such as re-piping that don’t involve hacking through your floor or driveway.

Water Heaters

No hot water?  Strange noises?  Our experienced water heater trouble shooters will go straight to the problem at your El Cajon home or business.  Suddenly not enough hot water?  Or is it smelly or rust-colored?  We know exactly what to do, and probably already have the parts to fix it in our trucks.

Even if a replacement is your best path forward it rarely takes us more than half a day.  We’re up to date on the latest high-performance models, including installing, maintaining, and repairing tankless water heaters.

Our services also include the manufacturer’s recommended annual drain-and-flush to get rid of accumulating scale and sediment.  That improves efficiency, increasing capacity as well as heater lifetime.

Residential Plumbing

Whenever you need a residential plumber in El Cajon, we’re ready with a full line of services.  They include the installation and repair of faucets, garbage disposals, showers,sinks, toilets, and tubs all the way to remodels and completely re-plumbing older homes.

Commercial Plumbing

We know that plumbing is essential to your business, especially if it’s a restaurant, nursing home, hotel, motel, or apartment complex.  Our licensed commercial plumbers fully understand the unique nature of high-usage public fixtures, grease traps, and more for fast, efficient repairs.  We’ll be happy to arrange a custom preventive maintenance plan with regular sewer and drain cleaning, pressure tests for leak detection, and other commercial plumbing measures.  With our master plumbers that can even include boilers.

El Cajon

A center for major league baseball, El Cajon as well as adjacent Bostonia and Granite Hills are great places to live.  If you haven’t already check out Air Group One, a museum covering the planes and people of WW II.  There’s also the Heritage of the Americas Museum, featuring local natural history, archaeology and anthropology, and art.

But there is a problem with very hard water.  Coming from the Colorado River and various NorCal rivers as well as Lake Jennings and reservoirs, nearly 100% of El Cajon’s drinking water is processed at the Helix Water District’s treatment plant.  Overall quality is high, receiving 75 out of 100 points by bestplaces.net (the US average is 55).  But with hardness (calcium carbonate or equivalent) coming in at 260-270 grains per gallon (15-16 parts per million) you really need a water softener to protect your appliances (especially water heaters), to avoid white scale build-up, and for the best clothes and hair washing.

ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing

What do you look for in a local plumber?  Someone who works professionally and efficiently, with top-quality workmanship at reasonable rates. And that’s exactly what we provide.  Unlike our Temecula competition we’re a full-service contractor with master plumbers qualified for work on sewer, septic, and gas lines as well as cold and hot water pipe repairs.  Experienced in residential, commercial, and industrial systems, all work is performed by our licensed and insured employees — highly trained drain cleaning technicians, experienced plumbers, and master plumbers.  We never contract out, even on major projects.

A fully licensed and insured California plumbing contractor, our company is approved by Compliance Depot and we’re a member of the San Diego County Apartment Association (SDCAA) as well as the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

Commercial Plumbing

Our commercial plumbing services start with preventive maintenance.  We’ll create a plan specific to your facility with scheduled drain maintenance, pressure testing, public lavatory fixture maintenance and adjustment, and more as needed.  With master commercial plumbers in the Temecula area we can also manage boiler systems.

Residential Plumbing

Our well-trained technicians and residential plumbers can take care of all of your Temecula home plumbing needs, from fixing a leaky faucet to re-piping your entire home.  In addition to the main services below, we repair and install garbage disposals, toilets, sinks, major appliances (including gas stoves and gas dryers), water softeners, and water filters.

Our Temecula Emergency Plumbing Services

We’re always ready with expert troubleshooting and repairs for fast emergency plumbing services.  ASAP Drain Guys & Plumbing is one of the few Temecula area plumbing companies with the training and legal qualifications to work on gas lines.

Drain Cleaning and Sewer Cleaning

We thoroughly clear even the toughest of clogs, so that with our drain cleaning problems won’t be coming back any time soon.  Our trucks arrive with the latest in-line sewer cameras for video inspections of obstructions, tree roots, cracks, and other damage.  That saves time and money on sewer cleaning, and you’re welcome to take a look at the video yourself.

Leak Detection and Leak Repairs

It’s certainly worrisome to suspect that you have a leak but be unable to find it.  With our leak detection instruments and expertise there’s absolutely no reason for a Temecula homeowner or business owner to put up with someone making one hole after another trying to find the problem.  That’s especially important for any pipe repairs under a concrete slab foundation.  Once one of our leak detection specialists has pinpointed the location we can quickly make an in-wall or slab leak repair with a minimum of restoration.

Water Heaters

Most people never think about their water heater until they suddenly find themselves without enough hot water, or none at all. Or hot water becomes rusty or smelly… or the tank is making strange noises.  Our team’s diagnostic skills let them go straight to the problem for a prompt water heater repair with no unnecessary expenses.  If it’s your best option we can often complete a replacement water heater installation the same day.  Our annual flush-and-drain maintenance can then keep it lasting longer.  For added convenience and energy-efficiency we also employ experts in installing, maintaining, and repairing “instant” tankless water heaters.

Temecula’s Water

The city gets its water from the Rancho California Water District (RCWD).  Roughly half comes from regional wells and the rest is imported. After treatment it meets all US and CA health standards (http://www.ranchowater.com/147/Water-Quality).

At 14 grains of calcium carbonate per gallon Temecula’s water is classified as “hard.”  That’s a naturally occurring mineral and may even have some health benefits, but it leads to scale and mineral deposits on glassware, dishes, and shower stalls as well as inside appliances.  That’s why so many buildings in and around Temecula have installed water softeners.
