If you’ve got a plumbing problem in Valley Center, we’re here to get it sorted. Our local team handles leaks, blockages, repairs, and everything in between. Give us a call to arrange a visit, ask any questions, or get a straightforward quote—no pressure, just honest service.
Each issue we see most often in Valley Center homes can lead to damage and higher costs when ignored, so we focus on clear answers and repairs that hold up.
Blocked drains happen when grease, food scraps, and soap residue build up inside the line. If left alone, slow drains can turn into full clogs, bad odors, and backups that can damage cabinets, floors, and walls.
We clear clogs with the right equipment for the problem, including hydro jetting for heavy buildup, and we check for deeper causes like buildup or root intrusion when the issue keeps coming back.
Older pipes can crack, corrode, or fail as materials wear out or the ground shifts. If you wait, small leaks can lead to mold, damaged drywall, warped flooring, and a higher water bill.
We locate leaks fast, repair or replace damaged sections, and help prevent repeat failures by addressing the weak point instead of patching symptoms.
Low water pressure can come from mineral buildup inside older pipes, corrosion, or a failing pressure regulator. Ignoring it can reduce fixture performance, strain appliances, and signal a bigger pipe issue getting worse over time.
We test pressure from the supply side through the home’s plumbing, pinpoint the cause, and recommend the most direct fix.
Water heaters often fail from worn parts, internal corrosion, or mineral deposits from hard water. If you delay repairs, a small issue can turn into a tank leak, water damage, or a total loss of hot water.
We handle repairs like element replacements and valve fixes, and we install new units when the system is at the end of its service life.v
Client Testimonials
Posted on Duke Sawyer Gavin and assistant were professional, highly proficient and polite. Extremely trustworthy and helpful. I highly recommend them and their company for your plumbing service and needs.Posted on Jamie M. VanderWal Had a great experience with ACPS & Gavin. I found him working at our neighbor’s house and asked if he could come down the same day to install a dishwasher—and he did! He was extremely kind, communicative, and very reasonably priced. On top of that, he even helped with a small non-plumbing task. Highly recommend if you’re looking for someone knowledgeable and genuinely helpful.Posted on Nicole C (Nikki) Im so happy with the thorough estimate preparation, all questions answered, and quick scheduling for my water heater. They didnt rush through the job, cleaned up any mess from the work, and set up a prestine new water heater. They checked functionality and made sure it was working correctly before leaving. I also appreciated their competitive pricing. I will absolutely use them again for any plumbing needs.Posted on Christina Gatton The owner John really went above and beyond to get my kitchen plumbing working, as well as Jonathan the tech. who came to my home to do the work. This service was supposed to be covered under my home warranty, and they gave John the run around on getting the work fully covered. John could have easily dropped it, quit and given up on us and left us with an inoperable kitchen sink and disposal. He persisted with my home warranty company and with many, many attempts, he ended up getting my warranty to cover the work actually needed to get everything operational. We REALLY appreciate ALL the effort to make this happen. I am very aware that most companies would've dropped the job immediately when trouble arouse on payment. John followed through, even though it was terribly inconvenient for him during a busy season for his company. THANK YOU, John and Jonathan, for being stand up men, for getting the job done regardless of inconveniences, and for making sure all was done right, without skipping corners and to full completion. We appreciate your top-tier service, and it did not go unnoticed. Your business will indefinitely thrive due to amazing customer service. Cheers to your successful business and thank you!! I will forever refer your top-notch company and service!Posted on ftv10hb John was great, very helpful and communicative throughout issues with the home warranty company. Did quality work and was able to move up our appointments to get the job done sooner than originally scheduled by the warranty company.Posted on Cheryl Skigin Professional and and absolutely on top of everything. Diagnosed the issue from photos and descriptions before coming out so totally prepared to do the job and do it well and efficiently.Posted on Ross Friend Super fare and honest. Came out right away to help super friendly!Posted on Don Branagan Great team! John & Gavin were incredibly flexible and responsive in getting our entire household plumbing reconnected and operable, leak-free the first time, after an extensive restoration. They are THE only plumbing team I have on speed dial, you should too!! UPDATE! Had Gavin out on a service check... These guys were responsive and Gavin did a complete end-to-end inspection and re-calibration of our system. Thanks again guys for being my go-to solution!Posted on Rishikesh Majumder Excellent servicePosted on Luz Vicario The people at ACPS Plumbing & Drains were great.

FAQs
Plumbing repair costs in Valley Center vary based on the issue and how urgent it is. Standard repairs like a leaky faucet repair or a basic drain clearing often range from $150 to $450.
Larger jobs, like water heater repairs or major pipe leak repairs, can reach $600 or more when parts or emergency service are needed. We provide upfront pricing based on what we find, so you know the cost before work starts.
Most minor repairs, like fixing a leaky faucet or clearing a clogged drain, usually do not require a permit. Larger projects, like remodel plumbing changes, installing a new water heater, or rerouting plumbing lines, often require a permit through the local building department.
We can tell you when a permit is required and complete the work to code, which helps avoid fines, safety risks, and issues during a property sale.
The most common plumbing emergencies include burst pipes, overflowing toilets, and water heater failures, often tied to aging plumbing or sudden pressure changes.
We offer 24/7 emergency response and typically arrive within 1 to 2 hours depending on location and current demand. Emergency service call rates commonly range from $200 to $750 based on time of day and job complexity.
Hard water is common in Valley Center and can cause limescale buildup in pipes, appliances, and fixtures. Over time, this can reduce water flow, shorten water heater life, and leave spots on dishes and glassware.
We install and maintain water softener systems matched to the home, with typical installed pricing from $1,800 to $3,500 depending on home size and existing plumbing. We also service existing systems and can base recommendations on water testing.
