Plumbing service throughout Yorba Linda

Yorba Linda’s large lots and tree-lined streets are a big part of its appeal, and they are also the source of most of its sewer trouble. In East Lake Village and Fairmont, roots from decades-old trees work into aging sewer laterals, causing slow drains, repeat backups, and cracked lines.

The water is among the hardest in Orange County. It scales water heaters, wears out fixtures, and causes pinhole leaks in copper supply lines.

Homes near Old Town still have galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains that are past their service life, while the newer hillside communities deal with higher water pressure. In an older home, a sewer camera inspection is often the best place to start.

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.
