Horror Stories For San Diego Homeowners: Clogged Drains Edition

Beautifying your home is the key to building up value and creating an aesthetic living environment. The construction projects are only half the battle, though – maintaining that environment is what makes a home worth living in.

Performing that maintenance is often nowhere near as glamorous as doing that initial construction. Cleaning, dusting, and repairing things as they wear and tear over time is often a difficult and thankless job, no matter how necessary it may be.

Nowhere is this more clear than in maintaining your home’s plumbing. As a husband and father of two girls, this unfortunate task is left up to me and they sure seem to enjoy making it as difficult as possible.

All three ladies in my home are proud of their luxurious long hair. They wash, condition, brush, and dry their hair on an almost daily basis. The sight of a hairball curled up and stuck to the shower wall is a sight I see every time I enter or exit a restroom.

That is only the hairs they were able to capture, however. The rest of it runs into our drains – and collects there for months until finally building up enough volume to cause a major clog.

Most of the time, a simple clawed plastic tool is enough to remove the blockage and allow me to grasp the disgusting ball of sludge and hair (with gloves, of course) and throw it into the trash. Sometimes, though, the hairball manages to move itself deep into the pipe, far out of reach of my amateur toolset.

This is about the time I throw my hands up and start searching “best plumber near me” online. It’s also about the time I get into an extremely frustrating game of tag with various different plumbing companies whose employees either miss our appointment dates or can’t get around to us for months.

Luckily, I was recently put in contact with a genuinely standout company that sticks to their appointments and have quick turnaround times – California Plumbing. The California crew is a group of true professionals, able to handle pretty much any plumbing problem you put in front of them while providing excellent customer service.

Just take a look at their sterling online testimonials, a real departure from what you usually find with plumbing companies:

Hillario, from California Plumbing came over today and did a great job with a toilet replacement and shutoff valve replacement. The appointment was between 4-6pm and he showed up promptly at 4! Additionally he found that the water pressure was too high and needed to have the pressure regulator replaced. All was done in a timespan of 3 hours and at a reasonable price. Hilario did a professional and diligent job was all 3 tasks. He even took time to explain the steps he was taking (I wanted to learn about how to replace toilets). Would recommend for my future plumbing needs! – Jonathon G., Yelp Review

Read Jessica S.‘s review of California Plumbing on Yelp

We have had several emergencies and plumbing problems over the last couple months, and each time California Plumbing was there to help us. We had a leak in an upstairs bathroom most recently, and our insurance was giving us a difficult time, so we called their main number and their dispatcher Alex went out of her way to figure out what the problem was, who she needed to contact at our insurance company and propose a solution. The customer service of both their dispatchers as well as the plumbers are second to none, and their prices have always been competitive with other estimates we have received from other plumbing companies. I would say their customer service and willing to go the extra mile to help their customers is what separates California Plumbing from a few other plumbers we have had out to the house over the years, and they are highly recommended! – Aaron D., Yelp review

While I have no doubt it’s only a matter of weeks until my next clogged drain, I can at least rest easy knowing if worse comes to worst I have reliable, professional backup. If you need a quick and professional drain clog, do yourself a favor and contact California Plumbing today:
