About 20/20 Plumbing & Heating in San Marcos, CA

A professional plumbing inspection allows us to assess the condition of your pipes and identify early signs of grease buildup or damage. In San Marcos, where hard water can exacerbate clogs, we check for scale accumulation and restricted flow. This proactive approach helps us recommend specific solutions, like installing a grease trap or suggesting better disposal habits, to prevent major blockages before they disrupt your home.

During a drain inspection, we use camera technology to visually inspect the interior of your pipes. We look for the tell-tale hardened grease deposits common in San Marcos kitchen lines, as well as any cracks, bellies (sags), or tree root intrusions that could be contributing to slow drainage. This precise diagnosis ensures we apply the correct, long-lasting solution, rather than just a temporary fix.

They can be. Many older San Marcos homes have older galvanized steel pipes, which are more prone to corrosion and rough interiors that easily catch and hold grease. During an inspection, we evaluate your pipe material and condition. If outdated pipes are the core issue, we can discuss options like pipe lining or replacement to modern, smooth PVC, which resists grease adhesion and improves flow for the long term.
