About Almco Plumbing in San Diego, CA

Trenchless repair is a method we frequently use that fixes damaged sewer lines with minimal digging. Instead of a large trench across your yard, we create small access points and use specialized equipment to reline or replace the pipe from within. This is an excellent option for many San Diego properties as it preserves landscaping, driveways, and hardscapes, significantly reduces restoration time, and often provides a more durable, corrosion-resistant pipe. Our sewer camera inspection first confirms if this solution is right for your specific situation.

We start by listening to your description of the issue. Then, we use a high-definition sewer camera to perform a video inspection. This allows us to see exactly what's happening inside your pipes—whether it's a buildup of grease and debris that hydro-jetting can clear, or a more serious issue like a broken pipe, root intrusion, or a belly in the line that requires repair. This precise diagnostic tool, part of our standard process, helps us recommend the most effective and cost-efficient solution, saving you from unnecessary work.

San Diego's hard water can lead to scale buildup inside pipes and appliances, reducing efficiency and causing damage over time. We address this in a few key ways. For repair situations, we can replace scaled-up pipes with new materials. More proactively, we install and service water softeners and filtration systems that treat the water entering your home, preventing scale from forming in the first place. We can also perform a full plumbing assessment to identify areas where hard water has caused issues, like in water heaters or fixtures, and provide the necessary repairs or replacements to restore proper function.
