These are the issues we see most often in Escondido homes, what can happen if you wait, and how we resolve them.
Leaking taps and fixtures often come from worn washers, failing cartridges, or mineral buildup. If you ignore the drip, it can waste water, raise your bill, and lead to staining or cabinet damage over time.
We pinpoint the cause, replace the failed parts, and verify the fixture seals and shuts off correctly.
Drain clogs usually build up from grease and food in kitchen lines and hair and soap in bathroom lines, and some clogs come from roots in older piping. If the blockage gets worse, you can end up with backups, odors, and water damage.
We clear the line using the right drain cleaning and repair method for the blockage, then help reduce repeat problems by addressing buildup and root-related issues.
Slab leaks happen when a pipe under a concrete foundation leaks, which is common in older homes. If it is not repaired quickly, water can spread under the slab, damage flooring, and create larger structural issues.
We locate the leak with modern detection tools, complete targeted repairs with minimal disruption, and confirm the system is stable before we leave.
Burst pipes can happen due to aging pipe material, shifting soil, or sudden pressure changes. If it is not stopped quickly, it can flood rooms within minutes and lead to mold, ruined flooring, and major water loss.
We respond fast, isolate the break, complete the repair or replacement, and check for related weak points to restore safe, reliable water service.
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
Typical costs often range from $100 to $375 for common jobs like clearing a drain or fixing a minor leak. Larger jobs, such as water heater installation or burst pipe repair, often range from $800 to $3,200, which is similar to pricing in nearby cities like San Marcos and Temecula.
We provide an upfront price range after assessing the job, before work starts. After-hours service late at night or on Sundays may cost more, so ask about any after-hours fees when you call.
You may need a permit for major work like repiping, sewer line replacement, or installing a new water heater. Smaller repairs and clog removals usually do not require a permit, but work that changes main water, gas, or core plumbing systems often requires inspection and sign-off.
Permits and inspections are typically handled through the city’s building or development services department. We can handle the permit steps and help keep your project moving without delays.
The most common emergencies we see are burst pipes, severe drain clogs, and sewage backups. These problems can cause fast water damage and disrupt your home or business if you wait.
We provide 24/7 emergency response and arrive with the equipment needed to diagnose and resolve the issue on site. Emergency service fees typically range from $150 to $600 based on severity and the time of the call, and we provide pricing upfront before repairs begin.v
Yes, trenchless sewer repair is available and can fix many sewer line problems without digging up your full yard or driveway.
We start with a sewer camera inspection to confirm the cause and location, then use pipe lining or pipe bursting when the line qualifies. Trenchless repairs usually range from $1,800 to $7,000 depending on the length and severity of the damage.
If you notice slow drains or sewer odors, we can inspect the line and explain the most practical repair option with clear pricing.
