These issues are common in Santee’s mix of established neighborhoods and newer homes. We focus on the cause of the problem so you get a fix that lasts.
Drain clogs often come from grease, soap scum, hair, and buildup in the line. If ignored, slow drains can turn into backups, odors, and damage to fixtures or cabinets. We use sewer camera inspection to confirm the cause, then clear the blockage at the source including hydro jetting to help prevent repeat clogs.
Leaks can start behind walls, under floors, or in older pipe runs where damage is not obvious. If left alone, leaks can raise water bills, cause water damage, and lead to mold growth. We locate leaks with professional detection equipment and complete targeted repairs to stop the leak before it spreads.
Hot water loss can come from aging tanks, worn components, thermostat issues, or sediment buildup. Waiting can lead to bigger failures, leaks, and shortened equipment life. We diagnose the system, explain what failed, and restore steady hot water with water heater repair and installation.
Running toilets, dripping faucets, and failing shut-off valves are common and often worsen over time, and our toilet installation and repair service covers both repairs and replacements. Ignoring them wastes water and can cause hidden leaks that damage floors, walls, and cabinets. We repair or replace worn parts, correct installation issues, and check nearby connections like dishwashers and laundry hookups for slow leaks.
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
Costs depend on the type of job and how urgent it is. Common repairs like a leaking faucet or a minor drain clog often run $120 to $300. Larger repairs and installs, including water heaters and after-hours emergencies, often range from $400 to $2,500 based on scope and parts. We provide a free estimate before work begins and share upfront pricing so there are no surprise charges.
For urgent issues like burst pipes, major leaks, severe clogs, or water heater failures, we offer 24/7 emergency service. Typical arrival is 60 to 90 minutes, depending on traffic and call volume. Our trucks carry the tools and parts needed to handle many problems on the first visit.
Yes. Whole-home repiping is a good fit if you have aging pipes, frequent leaks, low pressure, or discolored water. Most repipes in Santee range from $4,000 to $12,000, depending on home size, access, and pipe material such as copper or PEX. We inspect your system, explain options, and provide a detailed estimate before scheduling the work.
Homes near Santee Lakes or along the San Diego River can deal with higher groundwater and seasonal changes. That can increase the need for drainage upgrades, backflow prevention, and sump pump work in some properties. These preventive services commonly range from $300 to $1,900 depending on the setup and access. If you notice musty smells, slow drains, or water pooling near the foundation, a plumbing inspection can help catch problems early.
