Plumbing service throughout Anaheim

Anaheim is Orange County’s largest city, and its homes cover three eras: 1920s and 1930s craftsman and Spanish-style houses near Downtown, post-war tracts from the 1950s and 1960s across Central and West Anaheim, and hillside communities built in Anaheim Hills from the 1970s through the 1990s.

In the flatlands near Ball Road, Lincoln Avenue, and Downtown, galvanized supply lines and original clay sewer laterals are common, and roots from mature trees are a frequent cause of backups. Mid-century tracts have cast iron drains and copper supply lines. In Anaheim Hills the materials are newer, but slab foundations on hillside lots are exposed to slab leaks as the soil shifts.

Wherever you are in the city, we look first, with a camera for sewer and drain problems, and give you the price before the work.

What Anaheim homeowners should know

Your home's pipes, by the year it was built

  • Built before 1960Galvanized steel supply and cast iron drains. Galvanized corrodes inside and restricts pressure; cast iron narrows and lets roots in. Common in Colony-era and early West Anaheim homes.
  • 1960s to 1980sCopper supply with cast iron or ABS drains. Hard water speeds up pinhole leaks in copper, and the cast iron is past its reliable life.
  • Built after 1980Plastic supply and drain lines. More resilient, but slab leaks occur where pipes run through concrete in Anaheim Hills.

Water hardness

Anaheim Public Utilities supplies the city, and the water is hard to very hard. The utility publishes the current figure in its annual water quality report. Regular water heater flushing helps, and a softener is worth considering on older copper or galvanized lines.

Permits

In Anaheim, jobs like water heater replacement, sewer repair, gas line work, and whole-home repiping generally require a city permit and inspection. We tell you at the estimate when one applies. Unpermitted work can cause problems when you sell the house or file an insurance claim.

Plumbing questions from Anaheim

How quickly can you get to a home in Anaheim?

Anaheim borders our home base in Fullerton. We give you an honest arrival window when you call, and burst pipes, gas leaks, and sewage backups are sent out first.

My Anaheim home was built in the 1960s. What should I watch for?

Cast iron drains, copper supply lines, and an original clay sewer lateral. Cast iron corrodes inside, and clay laterals crack and let roots in. A sewer camera inspection will show where yours stands.

Do plumbing jobs in Anaheim need a permit?

Water heater replacements, sewer repairs, gas line work, and repipes generally do. Unpermitted work can create a disclosure problem at resale and may affect an insurance claim.

How does Anaheim's hard water affect my plumbing?

It leaves sediment in water heaters, scale in supply lines, and wears out valves and fittings sooner. Flushing the water heater once a year helps.

What customers say

★★★★★

Great experience with Miguel and Steven! Fixed my stubborn kitchen sink clog. Very informative and respectful of my home in addressing the issue. Highly recommend!

I had an excellent experience with SoCal 1 Plumbing! Eliass came out to clear a blockage in my kitchen line by snaking it through the outside wall clean-out, and everything was done efficiently and with great care. He also installed new tubular drains under my kitchen sink to stop the leaks I’d been dealing with. The work was high-quality, and they even provided a 1-year warranty on parts and labor, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend their professional and reliable service!

I had a plumbing issue that needed to be repaired sooner than later. Miguel came out and knew how to fix it immediately. Miguel was professional, friendly and knowledgeable. I won't hesitate to call them in the future.
