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

A walk-behind trencher can cut through roots as long as they’re not too thick, making a project much easier than digging with a shovel and other hand tools. Assess your terrain and the number of trees in the surrounding area to determine if a walk-behind trencher will ease the job. Digging a trench by hand is much more time-consuming and labor-intensive. 

A crawl space can be as little as 42 inches below the grade of your house, but this is not always recommended in flood-prone areas. At a minimum, there must be at least 16 inches of clearance between the ground and the floor joists to access the space in an emergency.

The easier way to find buried sprinkler lines is to use the plan from the professionals who installed the system. If you don’t have professional plans, listen for running water on your lawn when you turn on the system. You may also spot wet areas, giving you an idea of where the heads are. Once you find the sprinkler heads, you’ll likely be able to connect the dots between them, revealing the system below.

It all depends on the scope of the project. A trencher can certainly save time and energy, but you might not need to dig that deep in the first place. Aside from the depth of the trench, the quality of the soil matters. If it’s light, soft soil, you might try a shovel first. However, if the soil is rocky and hard or there are obstructions in it, like tree roots, a machine trencher might be the better option.

The depth of a septic tank’s drain lines is between 18 and 36 inches underground. These pipes are filled with perforations and surrounded by sand, gravel, or a combination of both, as both materials help filter wastewater. While some pipes are buried closer to the surface, this can create problems unless the soil is compact and doesn’t shift much.
