Drain Cleaning Services
Most drain clogs are caused by gradual build ups, then a small bit of debris turns a slow-flowing drain into a back up. In the bathroom problems usually start with hair and soap scum, in the laundry room lint, and in the kitchen grease. Liquid drain cleaners are worth a try, but aren’t particularly effective on grease. Even professional cabling (drain snaking) may leave behind enough grease for problems to return fairly quickly. When that’s the case our advanced hydro jetting will clean drain pipes good as new. Whatever your situation we’ll explain what we’ve found and give you up-front pricing before we begin drain cleaning. TIP: Don’t try lye or acid based products yourself. They’re harsh on pipes, and with a complete back up lye products can even damage plastic drain pipes.
Sewer Cleaning
All your drains and toilets connect to a single “main” sewer line (technically a lateral) that runs out to the Coronado sewer main at the street. Whether from the build up of grease and sludge or an obstruction (such as tree roots or something that got flushed that shouldn’t have) problems here can make any fixture (or several fixtures) drain slowly or back up. Our sewer cleaning experts begin with an in-pipe video camera inspection to determine exactly what we’re up against. We can then proceed with cabling or using an auger (“rooting”). In some situations we may recommend our hydro jetting service as the most thorough and long-lasting solution. Using jets of high-pressure water it can even cut through 90% of tree roots, avoiding the digging and expense of a spot repair.

Electronic Leak Detection
Plumbing leaks are often hidden inside walls, above ceilings, and beneath flooring. Using the latest electronic instruments our experienced leak detection experts can non-destructively pinpoint the location so there’s only a single small access hole when we make a leak repair.
Slab Leak Detection
In Coronado many buildings have concrete slab-on-grade foundations. If there’s a problem in a pipe running under those several inches of concrete you’ll need one of or slab leak detection specialists to track it down. Using the latest in sensitive instruments they can find the location within a couple of feet without making a single hole. In most cases you’ll have several slab leak repair options. They typically include spot repair (hacking through the concrete to repair a short section of pipe), routing new pipe around the outside of the slab, and recent advancements in pipe lining (adding a cured-in-place inner lining). As always, we’ll discuss your options and provide up-front pricing.
Water Heater Repair & Installation
We’re the Coronado pros when it comes to water heaters. We’ll send out an expert trouble shooter with a fully-stocked truck for an immediate on-the-spot water heater repair. Strange sounds? Rusty or smelly water? Leaks? No or not enough hot water? Not a problem! We’ll go straight to the actual cause to save time and money. Today’s models typically last 8-12 years, so if yours is past its warranty or has been giving you trouble it may be time for a new water heater installation. If the tank itself is leaking that can’t be repaired so there’s really no choice. No worries, though. We can complete a replacement water heater installation in just a few hours, often the same day. And we don’t have any weekend or overtime charges. Plus some high-performance models still qualify for Southern California Gas / SoCal Edison rebates.
Plumbing Challenges Specific to Coronado, CA
Coronado faces the most severe coastal-corrosion environment in San Diego County. Salt air aggressively attacks brass and copper fixtures, outdoor hose bibs, and any exposed metal plumbing. Coronado Village’s historic 1900s-1920s craftsman homes often still have original cast iron drains and galvanized supply lines that are well past 80 years old. The high water table on Coronado means crawl spaces stay damp year-round, hiding slow leaks until major damage shows.
On Coronado the calls are usually corroded brass and copper fittings, slab leaks, slow drains in old cast iron, and leaks found late in damp crawl spaces. Trucks come stocked to fix most of these on the first visit, typically the same day, at a flat rate agreed before we start.
Coronado Repair vs Replace — What Makes Sense for Your Plumbing?
Annual whole-house plumbing inspection is recommended for any Coronado Village home over 50 years old. Coronado Cays and Coronado Shores condos benefit from HOA-coordinated stack inspections every 5 years. For craftsman homes still on original cast iron and galvanized pipe, the camera shows whether a section can be repaired or the line has reached the end of its life, and each option carries a flat-rate price.
The footage is reviewed with you at the cottage or condo, so salt corrosion, rust pinholes, roots or broken pipe are on screen in front of you, along with how long a repair should last next to a replacement.

What’s the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting in Coronado?
Snaking (cable cleaning) cuts through the clog itself but leaves grease and scale on the pipe walls. Hydro jetting uses 3,000-4,000 PSI water to scrub the pipe walls back to bare interior surface. For Coronado homes with recurring backups, hydro jetting is usually the longer-lasting answer.
Should I repair or replace my sewer line in Coronado?
Annual whole-house plumbing inspection is recommended for any Coronado Village home over 50 years old. Coronado Cays and Coronado Shores condos benefit from HOA-coordinated stack inspections every 5 years. A camera inspection takes 30 minutes and gives you a definitive answer rather than a guess.
