Services
Sewer and Drain Cleaning
Our sewer and drain cleaning services address clogs, backups, and blockages using advanced hydro jetting and camera inspection technology. Licensed technicians diagnose issues quickly and implement lasting solutions to prevent future problems. Regular maintenance improves water flow efficiency and extends plumbing system lifespan while preventing property damage from leaks.
Trenchless Sewer Replacement
Trenchless sewer replacement eliminates excavation needs through pipe bursting and epoxy relining methods. This eco-friendly solution repairs damaged lines with minimal property disruption, lasting up to 50 years. Our trained technicians complete most projects in 1-3 days while preserving landscaping and hardscaping features.
Water Heater Repair
We service all water heater types including traditional tank systems and tankless models. Our repairs address leaks, inconsistent heating, and component failures while improving energy efficiency. Emergency repairs restore hot water access within hours, and preventative maintenance extends equipment lifespan by addressing minor issues proactively.
Hydro Jet Sewer Cleaning
Hydro jetting removes stubborn clogs and buildup in commercial and residential plumbing systems using high-pressure water streams. This method effectively clears grease, mineral deposits, and root intrusions without damaging pipes when performed by our certified technicians. Regular hydro jetting prevents emergency backups and maintains optimal drainage performance.
Sewer Video Inspection
Our sewer video inspection service uses specialized cameras to identify root intrusion, pipe breaks, and blockages in main sewer lines. This non-invasive diagnostic tool allows precise problem identification without exploratory digging. Technicians provide real-time video footage and recommend targeted repair solutions based on inspection findings.

Report
Andrew from Plumbing Doctor was super awesome - he came out early on a Sunday morning and fixed a leaking kitchen sink in about 10 minutes (when I had spent a couple hours struggling with it). He kindly provided a tutorial to walk me through what he was doing so I learned how to properly install a P trap. Super friendly and professional - strongly recommended!

Jeremy just came by today to troubleshoot a stubborn leak beneath the kitchen sink. He took the time to find two separate problems and address them both. He also helped me understand how I can monitor and replace certain parts myself, if necessary in the future. I highly recommend Jeremy and appreciate his attention to detail. Service: Plumbing leak detection

I am so happy that Plumbing Doctor was able thank come out and repair our leak the same day. We were extremely satisfied with Andrew's work. He was knowledgeable, thorough and efficient. Andrew was respectful of our home and animals. We bought the extended warranty so we will be using Plumbing Doctor again and hope to use the coupon next time.

Job done right at the end but totally messed up on the quote details and pricing, got worst after their agreement only I replaced line item to line item with customer supplied part. 1st of all quote has almost all are different item descriptions, model, size etc than what is being quoted/ installed. 2nd of all the price gets added, like city permit fee etc up after job is done 3rd of all way more bloated up quote on same line items, added new line items/majorly parts, install costs quantity doubled. (after i supplied the tankless water heater whaever tech asked, brand new from my cal steam account). Overall I ended up paying $1350 (calsteam + plumbing dr. combined) more than originally their own quote. I could share the proof.

This is my first time using Plumbing Doctor (my regular plumber wasn't taking service calls for some reason), and I was happy when the dispatcher said they could come out first thing today. Andrew diagnosed and fixed the problems quickly, and he was very pleasant and neat throughout. I learned a lot about home maintenance (e.g., how to shut off the water if there is an emergency) and was so impressed that I now have a new plumber if needed.

Andrew and Raul did a wonderful job! Replaced a cracked sink and installed a new bathroom faucet and taps. Also removed and hauled away a disused water softener unit from the garage, and capped off a disused backyard faucet. Expert workmanship! These guys care about doing things right! We have used Plumbing Doctor for many years now, and will continue. Highly recommended!
