Our services
We provide fast, reliable plumbing services for homes and businesses. From drain cleaning and sewer lines to water mains, disposals, and bathroom upgrades, our licensed plumbers get the job done right.
Plumbing emergencies don’t wait for business hours, especially in older Laguna Beach homes where aging pipes can fail without warning. Our team responds quickly to burst pipes, major leaks, and sewer backups. We arrive ready to stop the damage and restore your home fast.
Salt air and mineral-rich water along the Laguna Beach coast can accelerate buildup inside drain lines over time. Slow drains and recurring clogs are common complaints we hear from local homeowners. We clear blockages thoroughly and inspect pipes for any underlying damage.
Hard water and coastal humidity put extra strain on water heaters in Laguna Beach homes, shortening their lifespan. Our technicians repair all makes and models and install energy-efficient units that hold up in local conditions. We handle the full job from removal to final testing.
Many Laguna Beach properties were built decades ago and still have original galvanized or cast iron pipes that are overdue for replacement. Corroded and cracked pipes lead to leaks, low pressure, and water damage if ignored. We assess, repair, or fully repipe homes with minimal disruption.
Hillside terrain and mature tree roots in Laguna Beach neighborhoods create significant stress on sewer lines over time. We use sewer camera inspections to locate the exact problem before any work begins. Trenchless sewer repair options let us fix lines with little to no yard disruption.
Upgrading faucets, toilets, garbage disposals, or shower enclosures is one of the most effective ways to improve a Laguna Beach home. Our team installs all types of fixtures correctly the first time, preventing leaks and long-term water waste. We work with your existing setup or help you choose new fixtures.

Laguna Beach homes face unique plumbing challenges thanks to coastal conditions, aging infrastructure, and hillside terrain. Catching problems early protects your property from costly water damage.
Burst pipes are a serious concern in older Laguna Beach homes, where original galvanized steel or copper pipes may be decades past their intended lifespan. Thermal expansion from seasonal temperature swings and corrosion from coastal salt air weaken pipe walls over time. Warning signs include damp walls, discolored water, and a sudden spike in your water bill. Our team locates the break quickly and completes repairs with durable materials built to last in local conditions.
Clogged drains are one of the most frequent calls we receive from Laguna Beach homeowners, particularly in older properties with narrow original drain lines. Grease buildup, hair, and hard water mineral deposits combine to restrict flow over time. Hillside homes can also experience sewer backups when root intrusion or soil movement shifts underground lines. We clear blockages completely using hydro jetting and inspect lines with a camera to confirm the problem is fully resolved.
Water heaters in Laguna Beach tend to wear out faster than in inland areas because hard water deposits build up inside the tank, reducing efficiency and accelerating corrosion. Coastal humidity also affects the exterior components, including the burner assembly and pressure relief valve. Common warning signs include lukewarm water, discolored hot water, and rumbling noises during heating cycles. Our technicians can repair most units quickly or recommend a more efficient replacement if the unit is beyond its useful life.
Low water pressure is a persistent complaint in many Laguna Beach neighborhoods, especially homes on hillside lots where elevation affects delivery pressure. Corroded pipes narrow the interior diameter over time, restricting flow to fixtures throughout the house. In some cases, a failing water pressure regulator is the root cause and can be replaced without major work. We diagnose the source accurately and recommend the most targeted fix to restore strong, consistent pressure throughout your home.
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 costs in Laguna Beach vary depending on the type of job. Most standard repairs such as fixing a leaking faucet or clearing a drain range from $150 to $400, while larger projects like water heater installation or sewer line repair typically fall between $800 and $3,500 or more. We provide written estimates before any work begins so you know exactly what to expect.
Simple repairs like unclogging a drain or replacing a fixture usually take one to two hours. More involved work such as water heater replacement, trenchless sewer repair, or repiping a section of the home can take anywhere from half a day to two or three days depending on scope. We give you a realistic timeline before we start and keep you updated throughout the job.
Many plumbing projects in Laguna Beach require a permit from the City of Laguna Beach Building and Safety Division, including water heater replacements, gas line work, and major pipe replacements. Minor repairs like fixing a leaking faucet or clearing a clog typically do not require one. Our team handles permit applications when required and ensures all work meets local code before final inspection.
Many Laguna Beach homes were built in the mid-20th century and still have original plumbing systems that were not designed to last this long. Salt air corrosion, hard water mineral buildup, and hillside soil movement all accelerate wear on pipes, joints, and fixtures in local homes. Regular inspections and proactive maintenance help catch small issues before they become expensive emergencies.
