Ocean Beach Plumbing Company
Full-Service Plumbing for OB Homes & Businesses
When something goes wrong with your plumbing, you want a company that’s been doing this long enough to have seen it all and that’s still around when you need them again. Plumbing Plus has served San Diego County continuously since 1984, starting as a retail plumbing store in Poway founded by Joe Christenson and growing into a full-service operation trusted by homeowners and property managers throughout the area. Michael De Silva joined the company in 2001 at age 19, trained under seasoned professionals, worked his way up to lead plumber, and took ownership alongside his wife, Rachael, in May 2010. That history matters. It’s the reason our red, white, and blue trucks are a recognized presence across the region, a reputation we've earned one job at a time.
Ocean Beach is a coastal neighborhood with character, and its plumbing reflects that. Many homes in OB were built mid-century or earlier, and aging pipes, corroded fixtures, and tired sewer lines come with the territory. Salt air and San Diego County’s notoriously hard water add extra wear on water heaters and supply lines that newer inland homes don’t see as often. We serve Ocean Beach residents and commercial clients with that context in mind, delivering reliable, relationship-focused service that keeps customers calling us back for decades.

Plumbing Services We Provide in Ocean Beach
We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing, from the straightforward to the complex. Ocean Beach properties—whether vintage cottages, commercial storefronts, or short-term rentals with heavy use—all place different demands on plumbing systems. Our technicians are equipped for all of it.
Our OB plumbing services include:
- Water heater repair and replacement (including tankless)
- Drain cleaning and hydro jetting
- Sewer line repair and installation
- Leak detection and repair
- Repiping and pipe repair
- Faucet repair and installation
- Toilet repair and installation
- Gas line installation
- Backflow preventer installation
- Water filtration systems
- Full fixture installation
For drain and sewer diagnostics, we use video camera inspection tools to locate blockages and damage without guesswork. When the situation calls for it, hydro jetting clears buildup that snaking alone can’t address. We also manage permits and ensure all work meets San Diego County code, so there are no surprises at resale or during a property inspection.
We serve residential homeowners, commercial businesses, and property management companies throughout Ocean Beach. Restaurants, retail spaces, and multi-unit properties all benefit from working with a plumber who understands the higher demands commercial plumbing systems face.
Why Ocean Beach Residents Trust Plumbing Plus
We’re a family-owned company, and that shapes how we operate. Michael and Rachael De Silva hold every technician we dispatch to the same standards they’d hold themselves: courtesy, knowledge, and efficiency on every call. Each plumber is screened and background-checked, arrives in uniform, and is trained to treat your home with care, not just get the job done and leave.
Transparent Pricing & Free Estimates
Every job starts with a free, written estimate. We detail the scope of work and the cost before anything begins: no hidden fees, no after-the-fact additions. Pricing is honest and competitive, and the number on the estimate reflects the cost of the approved work.
24/7 Emergency Response
A burst pipe or a water heater that fails at midnight doesn’t wait for business hours. Neither do we. Our emergency plumber line is answered around the clock, and we can dispatch a technician when you need one, not when it’s convenient for us.
A Process That Respects Your Time
You’ll receive an automated text 30 minutes before your technician arrives with details about who’s on the way. When the job is complete, payment is collected by tablet, and you receive digital photos of the finished work along with your invoice immediately, on the spot. If for any reason you’re not completely satisfied, we’ll make it right. That’s a satisfaction guarantee we’ve stood behind for over 40 years.
We hold membership with the Plumbing Heating Cooling Contractors Association (PHCC) and have earned recognition from Angie’s List (Super Service Award), Neighborhood Favorites, Expertise, and Best of HomeAdvisor. For customers who need flexibility on larger repairs or upgrades, financing is available through Service Finance, with short-term, low-interest options and longer term plans with lower monthly payments.

Amazing service! David and Cole replaced my old faulty water heater on the same day I called. Service was fast and thorough. Both David and Cole were friendly and helpful in making everything work, so I could get my hot water today and didn't have to wait. Great communication and response time. David and Cole were respectful of property, considerate of the neighbors, and were nice to my cat, too. Would recommend. 10/10Randy Nino

It was a pleasure working with our plumber Martin. He went over and above what needed to be done and had a great attitude. This was not an easy fix and he made it work, with a smile on his face! Our customer service agent Kyle was so easy to work with and helped us to feel at ease. We highly recommend their services!Alex Roberts

Great service from Martin Ruiz of Plumbing Plus. We had a leak in the water pipe coming into our house and he quickly diagnosed it. He had some issues getting the parts but stuck with it and found them downtown. Once he had the parts he quickly fixed the problem. Great job!Michael Fuqua

Join Our Plumbing Plus VIP Program
Plumb Star Partner™ Membership
There’s a difference between calling a plumber when something breaks and having a plumber who already knows your home. Our Plumb Star Partner™ membership is built around that idea.
Members receive front-of-line priority scheduling for both routine and emergency calls, 10% off all plumbing services, no dispatch fees, and free estimates. Once a year, we perform a comprehensive safety inspection: a water quality test, water pressure check, leak inspection, dye testing of toilets, water meter check, water heater flush, and a sewer camera inspection of one drain. All work completed while the plan is active is backed by a one-year workmanship and materials warranty, an upgrade over our standard terms.
That combination of priority access, annual inspection, and an enhanced warranty isn’t something a standard service call delivers. It’s designed for homeowners and property managers who’d rather stay ahead of a problem than respond to one. If you’ve had a plumbing emergency before, you already know the math. Joining the Plumb Star Partner™ program is one way to change the equation going forward.
If want to learn more about the Plumb Star Partner™ membership, we’re ready to help. Call Plumbing Plus today at (858) 630-3141 and let’s get started.
