We accept all major credit cards and billing for established customers. We offer Senior discount.

"JR responded promptly to my request for an estimate and appeared very knowledgeable about the problem and possible solutions. Because I had previous leaks in the foundation's copper pipes I elected to have both hot and cold pipes re routed from the foundation into the attic and down the walls. It was a complex, tedious, and lengthy process. JR re arranged his schedule to get started on our project the following Monday. He arrived every day with his team and worked steadily until Saturday night when it was all done, including very professional taping and texturing of all the drywall damage (done by the water as well as the many cutouts required for the re-piping). The workers were polite, professional, and cleaned up after themselves every day. They made sure we at least had cold water every day and a functional bathroom. They worked until 8pm Saturday to get it all done. I am a very "picky" person and JR and his team exceeded my expectations, I would not hesitate to hire them again."

America's Plumbing Co. (916) 488-2300 is your full service plumbing company. We offer FREE ESTIMATES on every job. We are licensed, insured and bonded in the State of California. Currently we have 8 employees. We do not use subcontractors.

"UPDATE - 04/28/2023: THIS COMPANY DOES NOT HAVE GENERAL LIABILITY INSURANCE!! DON'T LEARN THIS THE HARD WAY LIKE ME. IF THEY DAMAGE YOUR PROPERTY THE OWNER WILL DENY LIABILITY WITHOUT PERFORMING ANY INVESTIGATION AND YOU WILL BE FORCED TO SEEK RESOLUTION THROUGH THE COURTS ONLY!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS UNLESS YOU WANT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN DAMAGE YOU NOW HAVE TO FIGHT FOR!! POSTED - 04/19/2023: I am absolutely shocked and appalled by the conduct of this company, its owner, manager Monique and their plumber Jorge and would highly advise others to not contract with them at all. I have a large double sink vanity in the bathroom where the work was being done. My husband assisted their representative with lifting the vanity and moving it away from the wall for the work to be performed. He then said to please let him know when the work was done so he could assist getting the vanity back to the wall. Instead, Jorge pushed the vanity back up against the wall himself. In doing so, large gauges and scratches were left on my brand new flooring. This flooring is just over a month old so there is no way it was wear and tear. This damage was not present prior to the work being performed and was present after he left our property. I immediately reported it and provided pictures. Once contacted by the Manager, 3 days later, I was told that my pictures "do not match up" with my story, that Jorge states he lifted the vanity up (which weighs over 600 lbs with a very heavy granite topper) and apparently that I was no where around to bare witness to anything even though I was in the same room and heard him push the vanity back. They are refusing to come on site and assess the damage and have flat out said they will not be doing anything to rectify nor take any responsibility. Their manager seemed argumentative in nature and came into the conversation prepared to blow me off. They simply do not care about their customers and seem to only be interested in deflecting responsibility for damage their own employees did to our home. I feel it is abundantly clear from my photos that these gauges line up with the trajectory of the feet on the vanity being pushed up against the wall, but their manager Monique stated my images do not coincide with my story which is utterly ridiculous as anyone with eyes can attest to. ETA: I have now submitted two written request to provide me with my receipt and work summary, something that I was told at the time of service would be emailed to me, and I have requested their insurance information. Since they are flat out denying liability, and the owner refuses to make contact with me, and their manager won't reply to my emails for 3 days, they are legally obligated to provide me with their insurance information so I may submit my own claim and allow their insurance adjusters to determine liability. Perhaps they are illegally performing work in the state of CA without insurance . They are not interested in resolving this civilly between client and company, and are now just ghosting me and their obligations to furnish legally required documents, seems this company may be accustomed to these types of shady business practices. ETA: the owner, Bryan, called and spoke with me this morning. He is further denying any liability doubling down that my images don't match up with my story. He stated his insurance information was listed on the CSLB website and, on his own recorded line, ended the conversation by saying "I'll see you in court"."

Septic system repairs FAQs

A septic tank lasts 20 to 30 years and can extend its life up to 40 years with disciplined maintenance. Regular pumping, annual inspections, and careful use of the system ensure long-lasting performance. Proper care—including flushing only approved materials and scheduling professional cleanings—protects your septic system and maximizes its lifespan.

Leach field failure can often occur due to a lack of proper maintenance, hydraulic overload, or environmental factors. When too much water enters the septic system—like running multiple large laundry loads back-to-back—it can overwhelm the leach field. Regular professional inspections, ongoing maintenance, and spacing out high-water-use activities help prevent failure.

A septic tank shows repair needs when noticeable symptoms arise around your home. Noticeable signs include strong sewage odors at fixtures, recurring pipe blockages, pooling water or damp patches near the leach field, and areas of unusually bright green or spongy grass. These indicators confirm that deteriorating components or clogs exist. Monitoring such signs and scheduling timely professional inspections prevents further costly damage.

Adhering to a strict, scheduled maintenance plan prevents septic system repairs. An annual inspection and a pump-out every three to five years safeguard your system’s performance. Additionally, only flushing waste and toilet paper, installing drain filters, keeping nonapproved items out of the system, and avoiding excessive water use help maintain your septic system’s health and efficiency.
