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."

"The Belmans did an amazing job of installing pavers and decorative walls. They were very easy to work with, they explained everything clearly. Alexis came by to check on the crew and made sure that we were informed of the job that took about 2 weeks to complete. We looked at other companies to do the job but we were unhappy with either the pricing, the quality, or the customer service. With Belman Pavers everything went smoothly and it was an easy choice for us. I highly recommend going through them if you want quality work done!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Completion time ranges from days to weeks, contingent on project size, environmental conditions, and regulatory approvals.

No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.

The rules for trenching and excavation include setting up and following safety protocols, learning how to use tools and machines properly, and ensuring there is a safe exit for all workers. Keep heavy equipment and materials away from the edge of the hole or trench. Call the 811 dig line before starting any excavation or trenching project to ensure you don’t hit any electrical or gas lines.

This depends on your location. Sewer lines can be buried anywhere from 18 inches to 8 feet deep. People in colder climates will have deeper sewer lines than people in warmer climates due to the dangers of the frost line and freezing pipes. Permits are required for all aspects of septic system installation, so the city should have the building plans for your system, which will tell you how deep your lines are.

Hard soil could be a sign of overly dry dirt, either from poor drainage or drought. It's important to test the nutrient levels, density, and drainage capacity of your soil to see if it's absorbing water properly. Begin by adding a light layer of water and observing how long the soil retains moisture. If you experience a good deal of runoff, you may need to aerate your lawn, apply a wetting agent, or hire a professional for a closer look.
