San Diego Plumbing Repair & Replacement Services

Leak Repair

Small leaks cause big problems over time. We locate hidden leaks fast and repair them using professional tools and long-lasting parts. Whether it’s under a slab, behind a wall, or near a fixture, our leak repair service helps prevent water loss, mold, and rising utility bills.

We repair, replace, and install water heaters in San Diego homes quickly and accurately. From traditional tank units to newer models, our team ensures hot water flows reliably when you need it. We handle thermostat issues, sediment problems, and system upgrades.

Inconsistent or high water pressure? We install and replace water pressure regulators that protect your water pipes, appliances, and fixtures. Our technicians properly calibrate the flow to avoid leaks, noisy plumbing, and stress on your system from fluctuating pressure.

A faulty shut-off valve can turn minor plumbing work into a major mess. We repair or replace bad valves to help you regain control fast. Whether it’s a main water line or an under-sink valve, we install reliable components that last and operate smoothly under pressure.

Toilets that run, clog, or leak wastewater cost money. Our repair service fixes flush issues, fill valve failures, and internal leaks. Whether you need new parts or a full rebuild, we provide fast, clean service to get your bathroom back in working order.

Repipe Services

Outdated plumbing results in low pressure and frequent leaks. Our repipe services upgrade to new copper lines that are expected to last 50 years with modern materials. We handle whole-home pipe replacement efficiently, with minimal disruption and code-compliant installation throughout.

Slow drains and backups are warning signs of deeper issues. We use a technique called snaking, also known as drain cleaning services, to remove hair, grease, and buildup that block your system. Our team restores proper flow without damaging your pipes — fast, clean, and built for long-term results.

A leaking drain under your sink can waste water, cause odors, and damage cabinets if left unrepaired. At American Plumbing Co., we specialize in leaky drain repair for kitchen sinks, bathroom sinks, and laundry drains in the San Diego Area.

Whether it’s a loose connection, corroded pipe, or cracked P-trap, our licensed plumbers find the source of the leak and fix it fast. With over 40 years of experience, we provide affordable, long-lasting repairs that keep your plumbing leak-free and your home protected.

Backups and foul smells could mean a broken sewer line. We offer traditional repairs to fix collapsed, cracked, or root-invaded pipes. Our solutions are clean, reliable, and performed by licensed professionals who have handled thousands of sewer jobs in San Diego.

Burst pipes need fast action. We respond immediately to shut off the flow, stop the damage, and repair or replace the line. Whether it’s winter damage, pressure buildup, or aging pipes, we restore water safely, with expert service available 7 Days a week in San Diego.
