Serving most of Southern California, Pacific Coast Copper Repipe Inc is a privately owned & operated company that has specialized in repiping for the past 22 years. We only do repiping, which enables us to complete your project quickly and efficiently, all the while keeping the price competitive. Pacific Coast Copper Repipe does not subcontract work. All work on your job is performed by payroll employees, properly trained, supervised and insured. We maintain both liability and workman's compensation insurance for your protection. To date we have completely repiped well over 8,000 single family homes and more than 1500 apartment buildings consisting of in excess of 12,000 individual units.

"The process was relatively smooth. The company owner gave me what I consider a fair bid. He also clearly communicated the scope of the project and how to prepare for it and he was able to answer all of my questions to my satisfaction. The crew showed up on time and dug right into to prepping the project. They were careful in moving items that had to be pulled away from walls and covering affected areas with plastic sheeting. The re-pipe took a day as promised and this was followed by a few days of drywall repairs for the many holes. This was spread over several days to accommodate the city inspections and repair of a related drain issue that was not part of the re-pipe. Both the pipe crew and the drywall person took care to clean up after themselves. PCCR also pulled the required city permits and arranged for the inspections."

"Plumber that was sent said needed new valve. Came out with valve, so I thought, turns out it was actually a cartridge for the valve. Wanted to charge me for 3 hours labor. One hour was spent putting in 2 screws....Didn't fix the problem and expected to be paid 3 hours labor. This is a big rip-off. Also send apprentices to do the job. I believe in on job training, but i shouldn't be paying for it. They reduced the bill by $140, but still the problem is not resolved and I am out the time and money. I would suggest finding another plumbing company that doesn't try to run up the bill by wasting time and who know what they are doing."

Excavating questions, answered by experts

The best type of soil to build on is a mixture of sand and clay, known as loam soil. Loam soil has the best combination of these soil types to build a foundation on. The clay particles help with water retention, so it won’t erode like sandy soil might, and the sandy particles help with drainage, so you won’t see unsafe soil expansion or have an increased risk of leaks from water sitting against your foundation.

You can dig 60 to 80 linear feet by hand per day depending on the depth. Digging a 100-foot trench by hand will take you two work days, but it can take longer if you have heavy or rocky soil. If you’re digging a deep trench or one that’s over 100 feet, consider renting a mechanical trencher, such as a walk-behind or ride-on, or calling a pro for help. 

Silt fences should be trenched 8 to 12 inches deep to prevent sediment-filled water from escaping underneath. It also helps to anchor the fence during wet, windy weather. The silt fence fabric often has a red line to indicate the depth for digging. A good contractor will be familiar with the guidelines and regulations.

Hardscaping often requires preparation of the ground in the area where the feature is being installed. This can include digging, compacting, and leveling the soil, ensuring adequate drainage, and removing any existing plants. The extent of preparation needed will depend on the type and size of the hardscaping feature being installed.

While general contractors sometimes handle demolition, you can also look specifically for local demolition contractors. Demolition experts need to understand structural integrity, the equipment needed for safe demolition, and the permits required for demolition.
