Coastal exposure, older plumbing, and heavy seasonal use can lead to leaks, clogs, water heater issues, and sewer trouble. These are the problems we get called for most often.
Leaks often start at worn fittings, aging valves, or corroded pipe sections, especially in older homes. If a leak is not fixed quickly, it can cause water damage, mold, and higher water bills.
We track down the source, repair or replace the failed section, and confirm the fix with leak testing.
Slow drains and backups usually come from buildup like soap scum, grease, food scraps, and hair inside the pipe.
If clogs keep returning, they can lead to foul odors, overflows, and pipe damage, and some properties also deal with tree roots pushing into underground lines.
We clear the blockage using the right method for the pipe, including hydro jetting when buildup is severe, and we can inspect the line to prevent repeat problems.
Fluctuating water pressure can also show up after heavy rain or renovations, and we check the system to find the cause and restore steady flow.
Hot water problems often come from worn thermostats, failing heating parts, or sediment buildup in the tank. If the issue is ignored, you can end up with no hot water, higher energy bills, and leaks that damage floors and walls.
We diagnose the system, complete the repair when it makes sense, and explain water heater repair and installation options when replacement is the better long-term move.
Sewer line issues can come from shifting soil, root intrusion, or aging clay and cast iron pipes. If it is not addressed quickly, backups can damage floors, create unsafe conditions, and lead to expensive cleanup.
We use a sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the problem, then recommend the right repair approach, including trenchless sewer repair when the line qualifies.
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 rates in Del Mar often range from $45 to $200 per hour, depending on the type of work and the skill level required. Emergency calls commonly add a flat fee of about $100 to $350.
Pricing is influenced by the size of the repair, the time of service, access to the problem area, and whether specialty equipment like hydro jetting or camera inspection is needed.
Larger projects like repiping or sewer repair cost more than simple fixture replacements, and we confirm pricing before work begins.
Yes. Salt air and higher humidity can speed up corrosion on pipes, valves, fixtures, and water heaters compared to inland homes. For replacements, corrosion-resistant materials like PEX or properly protected copper can help reduce future issues.
Older homes may also have original plumbing that develops pinhole leaks or pressure problems over time, so routine inspections and timely repairs help prevent major water damage.
Emergency response depends on call volume, but we aim to arrive within 60 to 90 minutes for urgent issues like burst pipes, overflowing toilets, and active leaks.
Emergency service commonly adds a flat fee of about $150 to $350 on top of standard rates. If you have a sudden leak, shut off the main water valve right away and call for help.
If water is near outlets or appliances, avoid the area until it is safe. Ready for fast, clear plumbing help in Del Mar? Call our plumber today to get an upfront estimate and a quick response.
Often, yes. Del Mar may require a permit and inspection for water heater replacements, gas line work, and major plumbing changes. Small repairs may not need one. We can confirm what applies for your project and complete the work to code.
