Plumbing Services in San Diego County

Family-Owned, Full-Service Plumbing Since 1984

Plumbing Plus has been serving residential and commercial clients throughout San Diego County for more than 40 years. We have operated continuously under the same brand since 1984. Joe Christenson founded the company in Poway as a retail plumbing store, and it grew into a full-service operation built on one straightforward approach: reliable work, done right, at a fair price. In May 2010, Joe handed the keys to Michael and Rachael De Silva. Michael had joined the company in 2001 at age 19, trained under seasoned professionals, and worked his way up to lead plumber before taking ownership. 

Our red, white, and blue trucks are a familiar sight across the county, and the trust behind that recognition has been earned one customer at a time. Today, our family-owned plumbing company serves homeowners, commercial clients, and property management clients throughout the county, including San Diego and Poway.

Plumbing Repairs, Installations & Upgrades

We handle plumbing repairs, replacements, installations, and upgrades for recurring drainage problems, aging pipes, failed water heaters, water-quality concerns, and gas-line needs. The appropriate service depends on the affected system, its condition, and the extent of the problem.

Plumbing conditions vary based on the property, piping materials, and water provider. City of San Diego water averages approximately 16 grains per gallon, although hardness levels elsewhere in the county vary. Mineral scale can accumulate on fixtures and water-heating equipment. Our guide to roots from eucalyptus, pepper, and ficus trees also addresses one potential source of sewer-line intrusion when roots reach an existing opening in a lateral.

Our plumbing services include:

• Drain cleaning, hydrojetting, descaling, and mainline replacements
• Water reroutes and repipes
• Gas line installation, repair, and replacement
• Water heater installation for gas, electric, and tankless systems, along with whole-home water filtration systems

Drain & Sewer Services

A slow drain that keeps returning may require more than a basic clearing. We provide drain cleaning, hydro jetting, descaling, and mainline replacement based on the condition of the line. Trenchless pipe repair and relining may be available when the pipe’s material, location, configuration, and structural condition make that approach appropriate.

Plumbing System Repairs & Upgrades

Aging galvanized pipes, recurring leaks, and deteriorated water lines can require targeted rerouting or broader repiping. We evaluate the affected plumbing and prepare a written estimate for the proposed scope before work begins.

We install gas, electric, and tankless water heaters for replacement and upgrade projects. For customers concerned about hard water or household water quality, we also install whole-house filtration systems.

Our plumbers provide gas-line installation, repair, and replacement. Because each property and gas-line configuration is different, we determine the appropriate scope for the specific system before beginning work.

What to Expect from Our San Diego County Plumbers

Hiring a plumber shouldn’t come with uncertainty about who’s showing up or what the job will cost. We’ve built our process around removing that uncertainty at every step.

Here’s what you can expect when you call us:

• Pricing and Estimates: Every job starts with a free, written estimate delivered before any work begins. Our pricing is transparent and competitive. The estimate reflects the scope of the work, nothing more. No hidden fees, no surprises when the invoice arrives.
• Process and Communication: You’ll receive an automated text 30 minutes before your technician arrives, including information about who’s on the way. When the job is complete, our technicians collect payment by tablet and immediately send you photos of the completed work along with your invoice. For repairs or upgrades where the cost is a concern, we offer financing through Service Finance, including short-term options with low interest and longer-term plans with lower monthly payments.
• Trust and Accountability: Every plumber we dispatch has been screened and background-checked. They arrive in uniform and are trained to treat both your equipment and your home with care. We back all services with warranties on both workmanship and materials, and we stand behind a customer satisfaction guarantee: if you’re not completely satisfied after the job is finished, we’ll make it right. We’re a member of the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors Association and have received the Angie’s List Super Service Award and recognition from Neighborhood Favorites, Expertise, and Best of HomeAdvisor.

We’re also available around the clock for urgent plumbing calls. If you’re dealing with an active leak, burst pipe, sewage backup, or another problem that can’t wait for regular business hours, call us for emergency plumbing service.

The Plumb Star Partner™ Membership Program

For homeowners who want more than a call-when-something-breaks relationship with their plumber, we offer the Plumb Star Partner™ membership. Members receive front-of-line priority scheduling for routine and emergency calls, plus 10% off all plumbing services, no dispatch fees, and free estimates.

The program also includes an annual safety inspection that covers:

• Water quality test
• Water pressure check
• Leak inspection
• Dye testing of toilets
• Water meter check
• Water heater flush
• Sewer camera inspection of one drain

The annual visit includes water quality testing, a water heater flush as part of water-heater maintenance, and a sewer camera inspection of one drain. These checks can identify conditions that need attention, although an inspection can’t guarantee that a future plumbing failure won’t occur.

All work completed while your Plumb Star Partner™ plan is active carries a one-year workmanship and materials warranty covering both parts and labor.
