About Ohnstad plumbing in Truckee, CA

In Truckee, the most frequent cause is a buildup of hair, soap scum, and minerals from our local water. We don't recommend harsh chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage older pipes. Instead, our expert drain repair and cleaning service uses professional-grade augers and hydro-jetting to safely and completely clear the blockage, restoring proper flow and preventing future issues.

Proactive maintenance is key. We recommend a professional plumbing inspection to identify vulnerable points, like unsecured water heaters or rigid gas and water lines. Our services include installing earthquake straps for water heaters, replacing rigid pipe sections with flexible connectors where appropriate, and ensuring all critical connections are secure. This preventative approach can significantly reduce the risk of major leaks or gas line damage during a seismic event.

We offer solutions tailored to your home and budget. For isolated damage, our water pipe repair service can address the specific issue. For older systems with recurring problems or signs of widespread corrosion, a full plumbing installation or replacement might be more cost-effective and reliable long-term. We'll conduct a thorough assessment and clearly explain all options, from targeted repairs to modern, durable pipe installations designed for Truckee's conditions.
