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

When a septic tank is full, it needs to be professionally pumped. The average cost of a one-time septic tank pump is about $400, or $0.30 per gallon. If your septic tank is full, you may notice that you have issues flushing your toilet, pipes are draining very slowly, or you have a sewage smell lingering in your home or yard.

Most septic tanks can handle two to three loads of laundry per day, or a weekly total of between seven and 10 loads. Although septic systems do require homeowners to be somewhat careful with their plumbing systems—for instance, it’s not a good idea to flush a bunch of toilet paper all at once—they can still handle fairly heavy use.

Rainwater doesn't have a direct impact on the amount of water in your well. Instead, the majority of rain runs off into other bodies of water such as streams, rivers, and lakes. These bodies of water may sometimes function as the area’s reservoir and create aquifers, which then help to replenish your well.

The dimensions of a 500-gallon concrete septic tank can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the tank is large enough to handle the wastewater of a small home with up to one bedroom. Keep in mind that some states have a minimum septic tank size, and this often starts at 750 gallons. A 500-gallon septic tank may be too small to meet local regulations.

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.
