"We had been dealing with our shower slowly draining for about a week. After reading their reviews, we called California Plumbing. They used a hydro jetting machine to clear out years of buildup and our shower is draining much quicker. So satisfying!"

"Great job. Anthony did a complete review of the house and the current venting and recommended the proper size for the AC. The installers and electricians came 3 days later, did additional wiring and piping and installed the entire system in 5 hours."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.

With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"Billy was polite, professional, friendly, and explained everything very well.  I'm an almost-anything-but-my-job layman, but he went over everything clearly and made sure I understood the condition of both the interior and exterior systems.  Overall, an excellent deal and an awesome service provider.  I'll definitely be calling these duys and asking for Billy to take care of any A/C or furnace issues that may occur in the future.

"Had a slow drain for months and thought it was a clogged drain. I knew Mickey through an apprenticeship program and called him to take a look. Mickey was extremely thorough and found the issue quicker than most plumbers! While it turned out to be a failed sump pump and a much bigger job, Mickey got it done quickly and at a reasonable rate."

"Noe gave us an extremely competitive price for a concrete block wall. He and his employee did a great job and went out of their way to get the job done quickly and efficiently. He also repaired a drainage pipe and made it usable again by stepping it down in size and extending it out past the wall. We would absolutely hire him again without hesitation. They did a great job and the wall looks awesome!"

Foundation Drain Installation FAQs, answered by experts

Test regularly, clean the pump, and inspect the discharge line to ensure efficient operation.

Heavy rain can affect a leach field because the extra rain can cause the groundwater level to rise. This leads the soil around the leach field to become saturated with rainwater, so it’s no longer able to take in effluent from the leach lines for final treatment. Heavy rainfall can cause the leach field to flood.

Yes, you can add a battery to your existing sump pump. There are batteries available that can be plugged into your existing system; however, most battery backups come as a complete system and act as a replacement for your existing sump pump.

Ideally, your sump pump discharge should run down a natural downhill slope 10 to 20 feet away from your home’s foundation. However, if your property is naturally flat, that might not be an option. Instead, you may be able to discharge it into a neighborhood storm drain or a nearby creek or pond. If that’s not possible, consider burying it underground.

Your sump pump will discharge water through a discharge line or pipe. The discharge line should be placed at least 10–20 feet from the foundation to avoid any issues.
