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

If there’s a problem with your sewage system, you might notice water pooling on the ground around the tank, which could indicate an overflow. Clogged and sluggish drains or foul smells coming from your plumbing are also signs that there might be a blockage in your septic system.

Wells should be at least 100 feet deep for drinking water, but they may need to be deeper depending on the local geology, water quality, and your household’s water usage. Work with a qualified well drilling professional who can assess the appropriate depth for your well and test the water before drinking it.

The best way to keep a septic tank clean is to hire a local septic tank cleaner to inspect and pump the septic tank every three to five years. Be sure to only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet, and don’t pour grease, oil, fats, coffee grounds, or food scraps into your drains.

Estimating what size well pump you need is challenging and often inaccurate, but a general rule of thumb is to take the number of fixtures—including water-consuming appliances—in your home and aim for that number in gallons per minute. That calculation method would allow for every fixture in your home to use about one gallon of water per minute. However, it’s best to leave the pump size determination to a professional technician, as they can ensure your pump is providing your home with sufficient water, especially during peak usage hours.

The lifespan of your well casing depends mainly on the material it’s made from. Stainless steel and galvanized steel casings are designed to withstand the pressures and environment of deep-water wells but are susceptible to corrosion. Most steel casings last from 20 to 35 years, on average. PVC casing is highly durable and, if used correctly, can last up to 50 years.
