We have been working in this part of the Inland Empire since 1982, and the trucks are through here regularly. Drains, sewer lines, water heaters, repipes and septic, handled by a family shop that has worked this valley since 1982.
Established landscaping and older sewer laterals are a recurring combination in this area.
Where the housing is newer, the problems shift toward fixtures, water heaters and the effects of hard water rather than failing pipe.
Emergency calls here run to burst supply lines, failed water heaters and main line backups, and they rarely happen at a convenient hour.
Water pressure varies considerably across our service area, and pressure that is too high quietly destroys fixtures and appliances.
Knowing the difference between a line that needs clearing and a line that needs replacing saves people a great deal of money.
We camera sewer lines around Yucaipa routinely, both for people with a recurring problem and for buyers who want to know what they are taking on before they close. It is the single most useful inspection in plumbing and standard home inspections do not include it.
Our equipment is chosen around not having to guess, because guessing is what produces unnecessary work and surprised customers.
Replacing failing supply piping through a house.
High-pressure scouring of greased and rooted lines.
Burst pipes, backups and after-hours failures.
Pressurized lines failing under a concrete slab.
No hot water, leaking tanks, failed elements.
Cracked, offset and root-invaded laterals.
Finding the leak before anything is opened.
Fixtures, valves and rough-in for bathrooms.
Booking is simple and the quote is free, so there is no cost to finding out what you are dealing with.
Emergency dispatch here is genuine. Somebody answers, and somebody can send a truck.
Make sure someone who can make decisions about the work is available, so we are not waiting to get approval on what we found.
You will know the cost before the work starts. Surprises on an invoice are how contractors lose customers permanently.
Delay converts a scheduled repair into an emergency, and emergencies cost more and happen at worse times.
Mineral content in Yucaipa water is behind most premature water heater failures we see, and it is entirely manageable with the right equipment.
Keep grease out of drains, and that includes running hot water after it. Hot water simply carries it further down the line to somewhere less convenient.
For commercial property, a maintenance schedule on drains and interceptors costs a fraction of emergency response, and it is the difference between planned work and a closure.
If you are on septic, know your pumping interval and keep to it. It is the single highest-return maintenance item in plumbing, because the alternative is a drain field, and drain fields cost many times what pumping does.
Look behind and under appliances once in a while. Washing machine hoses, dishwasher connections and ice-maker lines are common leak sources and they are all hidden from normal view.
Know the age of the major components. Water heaters, supply piping and sewer laterals all have expected lifespans, and planning for a replacement is considerably cheaper than reacting to one.
Three of Big Mike's family run this company now. They grew up in it, learned the work from him, and took it over because he knew they would look after people the same way.
Our licensing covers plumbing, sanitation and general engineering, so excavation and underground work are part of what we do rather than a subcontract.
Yucaipa is where the shop is, and the work radiates out from there. Some days that means a call three miles away and some days it means the far side of Riverside County.
Most of our work comes from people who used us before or got our number from a neighbor. That is the only marketing we have ever really had.
