We called Bill Howe Plumbing and set up an appointment, the dispatcher was very friendly listening to our situation and making notes for the technician. Our technician Allan (#535) called to let us know he was on the way and arrived right on time, very punctual. He got to work right away and...

After emailing the vendor three times their response was apologetic each time with assurances that the repair person would contact us - - but they never did.

Eddie did an excellent job. In addition to fixing the crack, he did some extra work to straighten out the drain line that the original builder did a bad job on. Above and beyond my expectations.

Cleared drain line.

The plumber from TLC, Larry Gomez, did an excellent job. He repaired a leak in the front yard between the house and the water meter, and he also replaced a toilet flange in the second bathroom. Larry diagnosed each problem before giving a written estimate. He then repaired the problem quickly...

"Carini installed my mini splits a few years ago and promised me the world with their warranties. Well, turns out they botched something during the install and all of the refrigerant leaked out. They want $2,200 to refill and re-pressurize the line. Since they cross-threaded the screw that led to the leak during installation, this should be covered under the "Lifetime Craftsmanship" guarantee. Instead, they're trying to charging me a full day of labor to fix their mistake. Support on this issue has been dismal. It's been 16 days since they first diagnosed the problem and I still don't have a timeline for when this will get fixed. I chose Carini because of their warranties and their service record, but its all smoke and mirrors. You've been warned."

"Excellent service! We scheduled Plumbing Plus to replace the hot and cold cartridge's in a sink faucet and a tub pop-up drain and overflow gasket. Jared N. quickly assessed the problems. The faucet was so corroded with water deposits that it could not be dismantled to simply replace the hot and cold cartridge's. So Jared replaced the entire faucet with a high quality replacement. After the tub pop-up drain was replaced, Jared checked for leaks by looking in a 'trap door' in the ceiling below the tub that was left after the tub was replaced in an earlier remodel. Jared discovered that the entire tub drain was leaking and need to be replaced, which he did. He also corrected a problem with the drain pipe left from the previous remodel. Although the job was much more complex than expected, Jared was professional, efficient, and extremely cheerful throughout . We highly recommend Jared and Plumbing Plus"

"The main pipes needed to be replaced under my mother's home. They had cracked and it was creating a foul smell so we knew this was a plumbing emergency that needed an expert plumbing team to replace these old pipes. Kenny came out for an inspection and estimate 30 minutes after my mom called Flow Right. He provided a clear estimate after inspection and work could begin the next day. The extensive pipe removal and replacement job was completed by 2 plumbers on the job in a 5 hour period and they double checked all the work to ensure the plumbing in the house was working perfectly. I highlight Flow Right's expertise and professionalism here because another well advertised and bigger SD plumbing company not only quoted us near double the cost but projected the work would take multiple days. We are so lucky and grateful to have found Kenny and the Flow Right team to get this massive pipe replacement job done, and done superbly. Thanks again, Flow Right. You guys are the BEST!"

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Potrero, CA
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
The Potrero, CA homeowners’ guide to sewer line repair services
From average costs to expert advice, get all the answers you need to get your job done.
When your shower or sink starts draining slowly or not at all, it’s time to act. Get tips for how to unclog a drain, and learn about drain cleaning service pricing.
If you need to pump sewage waste uphill to reach a septic tank or street sewer, you may need a dedicated grinder pump. Follow our guide to determine how much a sewer grinder pump costs and any prices that may creep up during the install.
The costs for common plumbing issues are determined based on parts, labor, and expertise level. Read our guide to find out how much you should budget.
If you have a clogged pipe and natural methods are not working, you may need something stronger. How do drain cleaners work? Find out in this guide.
Low-flow toilet problems include frequently clogging and higher installation costs, but these toilets also conserve water and reduce water bills.
Valves are essential for the safe and efficient flow of fluids. Compare a ball valve versus gate valve to choose the right one for your system.
