Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning service removes obstructions and buildup from pipes using advanced equipment. This prevents blockages, maintains optimal water flow, and addresses issues caused by San Diego's sandy environment. Commercial and residential clients benefit from reduced maintenance costs and extended system lifespan through our proactive approach.
Water Heater Services
We provide comprehensive water heater maintenance, repair, and installation services. Our expertise covers traditional tank systems and modern tankless units. Annual servicing extends equipment life while ensuring energy efficiency. Emergency repairs address sudden failures, and installations use energy-efficient models to reduce long-term operating costs for San Diego homeowners.
Sewer Line Replacement
Our trenchless sewer line replacement technology minimizes landscape disruption during repairs. This method addresses root intrusion and pipe deterioration in San Diego's older infrastructure. We use camera inspections to diagnose issues before implementing durable solutions that prevent future backups and structural damage from compromised sewer lines.
Leak Detection
Advanced leak detection equipment identifies hidden water leaks in walls, under slabs, and in underground lines. Early detection prevents mold growth, structural damage, and wasted water. Our non-invasive methods quickly locate issues in San Diego's varied housing stock, from historic homes to modern commercial buildings.
Fixture Installation
We install and repair faucets, toilets, sinks, and specialty fixtures with precision. Our technicians handle both standard replacements and custom installations for remodels. Water-efficient models help reduce utility bills while addressing San Diego's hard water challenges through appropriate material selection and sealing techniques.

Report
John from Sunset Cliffs Plumbing exceeded our expectations. Our historic home in Bankers Hill required a range of plumbing work, including water heater replacements, updates to fixtures with hard-to-find parts, as well as the installation of a whole-house water filtration system and leak detection shutoff. He handled everything flawlessly, paying close attention to detail and consistently following up. John was an excellent communicator, always punctual, and thorough throughout the entire process. Were already planning to work with him on another project and feel fortunate to have found him. If we could, we'd give him a 6/5 rating!

John is very professional and knows his trade, I needed to get a water monitoring/ shutoff device put in for my homeowners insurance or my rates will increase a lot. So I called Sunset Cliffs Plumbing John showed up on time and gave me a window of 4hrs to finish the job which entailed a lot of work, 2 pressure regulators 2 ball valves, the water monitoring device and some new copper pipes and fittings, his soldering is excellent! nice and clean and was done in 3 hours! Anyone looking for an excellent plumber call Sunset Cliffs Plumbing, also you can't beat his rates! John also lives close to me in OB and will be calling him for future plumbing repairs.

I cannot recommend John and the Sunset Cliffs Plumbing team enough. We have had 2 plumbing issues arise within our own unit and to the exterior water lines for our HOA over the past month and John has been incredibly helpful, responsive and timely to fix these issues within 24 hours of reaching out in each instance. John is friendly, knowledgeable and very fair and transparent with pricing. If you live in center or south county San Diego, John and the team are the best choice out there for any plumbing needs.

When the water heater went down suddenly, Sunset Cliffs Plumbing came out, assessed it, and within a few hours had a replacement installed. John was professional, friendly and communicative. Highly recommended for your plumbing needs.
