Born and raised in Orange County I started Prolific Plumbing Inc. with two main goals, to serve the greater OC with honest quality service at an affordable price, and for employees to have a work place that creates positive reinforcement for everyone to succeed and be happy! I have over 10 years of trade experience, I’ve provided service to thousands of homeowners, trained by some of the industries top master plumbers and leading companies here in Orange County, and graduated from Wyotech Technical School for plumbing technology in 2012. I want to be your neighborhood plumber and provide all your plumbing wants and needs for the rest of your life! So give me a call!

"Would not trust or recommend. I had called prolific plumbing because of their stellar reviews. Kody seemed like he knew what he was talking about and sounded honest. So I explained we had a strong sewage smell coming out of our sink and he agreed to come by and see what the issue was. Appt day comes and he is with his helper. They start checking my pipes and drains and he tells me it's going to cost $350 just to remove my dishwasher bc they need to investigate further. I am desperate to find the cause of the smell and even thought it's criminally expensive just to remove the dishwasher I agree. Then they do more investigating and tests. And he floods the cabinets under my sink with water and tells me I have a pipe leak. Then he snakes my drain and runs a camera and tells me my pipes are installed incorrectly and I need to remove my cabinets, break the concrete and repipe the entire thing. What the h***. Kody then snakes the drain and pulls out mud and grease and says I should Hydrojet my pipes to buy me more time since I told him there was no way we could afford to do the concrete and repipe. He charges $550 just to do the hydrojet. for this. That is on top of the $350 so now my total is $900 and he offered me a $50 discount. Of course by this time he's scared me to death with all his talk of how everything is wrong with our plumbing. So I dismally agree to the hydrojet. He does it and runs the flood test and water is still coming out of the pipes under the sink. So basically the hydrojet did nothing and Im out $850.00 I decide to get a second opinion and had another plumbing company come out. They immediately fix the issue by connecting my drain to the correct pipe and confirmed there is no slab leak The problem was my drain was connected to a pipe that went no where. Something Kody should have told me and seen with his camera and all the "tests and investigating" that was done. All my plumbing issues were resolved without me having to break the concrete, remove the cabinets, or do any of the other crazy and expensive things Kody had suggested. I am horribly disappointed and upset with Prolific Plumbing. Either Kody doesn't know what he is doing or he is just trying to get the most money that he can out of trusting customers like myself who don't know any better. I would definitely not recommend or refer Prolific Plumbing unless you literally want to throw your money away or get conned."

Septic Tanks questions, answered by experts

Septic tanks naturally have bacteria that break down some of the solid waste in the septic tank. However, sludge buildup is just part of owning a septic system. While liquid wastewater can be filtered and treated through the system, a septic tank company has to pump the septic tank out at least every few years.

A household of four can easily fill a 1,000-gallon septic tank within a week. It may be 10 to 14 days for smaller households. But the reason why you don't need weekly pumping is because the tank's contents eventually reach the overflow pipe. They flow down this pipe to the absorption area whenever water is used in your home. The tank keeps working at this full level until it's pumped again.

Most cesspools are buried about 1 to 3 feet below ground. The cesspool itself can be between 8 to 10 feet deep, with an average capacity of 750 to 1,250 gallons. If you’re planning to fill in a cesspool, be prepared by knowing the size of your original tank so you can buy the appropriate amount of soil.

Your septic tank naturally contains good bacteria, and you won’t really need to do much to put good bacteria in the septic tank. You can use additives like active yeast, rotten tomatoes, or store-bought septic enzymes or chemicals if you’d like, but typically, the system will produce beneficial bacteria on its own. The best way to keep that bacteria thriving is to avoid using chemical drain cleaners, which can kill off the good bacteria in the septic tank.

A septic tank with a 1,500-gallon capacity is good for larger homes with up to 6 or 7 bedrooms. The average home can go with a smaller tank, about 1,000 gallons, which supports a home size of up to 2,500 square feet, or a home with about three bedrooms.
