Why homeowners hand us the whole house

A licensed C-36 does the pipework

A Class B license lets us hold the contract and run the job. The pipework itself is done by a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor we bring on and manage. One contract, and one company answerable to you for it.

The wall gets closed by the same contract

Patching, texture and paint are in the scope. Hiring a plumber and then hunting for a drywall finisher afterwards is the part of a repipe nobody warns you about.

Licensed and bonded

CSLB # 1105333, Class B General Building, plus a $25,000 contractor bond through Travelers. Both are public record and both are linked further down this page.

Change orders before the work

If the number has to move, you see why and you approve it in writing before anything else is built.

When repiping costs less than the next leak

Pipe fails from the inside, where you cannot see it

Water out here is hard, and hard water is quietly rough on supply lines. In houses from the early eighties that usually shows up as copper developing pinhole leaks, one at a time, in places you only find when a ceiling stains. Anything plumbed or re-plumbed between the late seventies and the mid nineties may have gray polybutylene in it, which has a well documented habit of failing at the fittings. Older stock in San Bernardino, Colton and Redlands can still be on galvanized steel that rusts shut from the inside, which is why the pressure in the back bathroom has been dropping for years, or on cast iron drain lines that have scaled and cracked.

The reason this matters commercially is simple. Patching one pinhole costs very little and buys you no protection at all, because the rest of the run is the same age and the same water has been through all of it. At some point the arithmetic turns over and doing the house once, properly, with the walls opened and closed under one contract, is cheaper than the next three call-outs and the drywall each one takes with it. We will tell you which side of that line you are on.

Repipes, bathroom plumbing, and what each one covers

What the plumbing scope covers

Get a written estimate

Every line below is written into your scope before work starts, including putting the walls back, which is the line most plumbing quotes leave out.

  • The existing lines checked before they are priced, so the scope matches the real condition
  • Supply lines repiped in copper or PEX, with the material named in your scope, not chosen later
  • Drain, waste and vent replaced or repaired where the cast iron has gone
  • Water heater, angle stops, hose bibbs, and a main shut-off you can actually reach
  • Fixtures, valves and trim set for bathrooms and kitchens, with the rough-in inspected before it is closed
  • Walls and ceilings patched, textured and painted where we opened them

Start with the written scope

The next step is your job on paper

You have just read how the work runs. The next move is a walkthrough of your house, a written scope of what the job covers, and a schedule carrying the same stages. Ask for all three before you commit to anything.

Plumbing diagnosis

Locate the problem before choosing the route to repair it

A leak or slow drain identifies a symptom, not always the failed section. Access from a wall, attic, crawlspace or slab can lead to very different scopes and restoration work.

Confirm the location and discuss the viable routes before opening a large area. The selected approach should include valves, connections, testing and the surfaces that will be repaired after the line work is complete.

Plumbing access and finishes

The repair is not complete until the opening around it is defined

Reaching a pipe may disturb tile, cabinets, drywall, flooring or exterior material. Those finishes often require a different trade and can be harder to match than the plumbing itself.

Photograph the area, identify what can be removed cleanly and state what restoration is included. If an exact finish match is uncertain, that should be discussed before access begins rather than after the pipe is working again.

    My wife and I called Jerome directly at Socal Home Improvement. I heard him on KJLH Radio, Station advertising his business. When calling him, he set up an appointment to come out the same day, which was outstanding perfect. I must say on his arrival he was very professional and knew his job very well…

Questions about Plumbing

Straight answers before you commit

All questions
Who actually does the plumbing, and are they licensed?
We hold a California Class B General Building license, CSLB # 1105333, which is the license that lets us contract for and run a project that includes plumbing. The pipework itself is done by a licensed C-36 plumbing contractor we bring on and manage. You get one contract, one schedule, and one company answerable to the building department and to you, rather than a plumber, a drywall finisher and a painter you have to coordinate yourself.
How do I know whether the house needs a repipe or just a repair?
Repair a single failure in a house that has never had one. Start pricing a repipe once you are on your second or third pinhole in a couple of years, once the pressure has been falling for a while, or once you find out the house is on galvanized or on polybutylene. We will look, tell you which it is, and price both if you are on the line.
Copper or PEX?
Both are legitimate and both are used every day. PEX handles hard water well, has far fewer joints behind the drywall, needs less wall opened to install and is normally cheaper. Copper is the more traditional answer, handles heat better and is what some homeowners simply prefer. Whichever you choose is written on the scope by name, so nobody substitutes material later.
Can we live in the house during a repipe?
Normally yes. A repipe is usually run so the water is back on at the end of the day, and your written schedule says which days the water is off and for roughly which hours. Walls stay open until the rough-in is inspected, so the disruptive part is dust and open drywall rather than living without water.
I think I have a slab leak. What happens then?
It gets located first, then you get a choice in writing. A single line can sometimes be rerouted overhead through the attic and the walls, which avoids breaking concrete. Cutting the slab is the other route and is sometimes the right one. What you should not accept from anybody is a jackhammer before a location, and the option you pick is priced before the work starts.
Do you handle the permit and the inspection?
Yes. Permits are pulled in the licensed name, CSLB # 1105333, and we meet the inspector, including for the rough-in inspection that has to happen before any wall is closed back up. That is our job, not yours.

How your plumbing job runs

A written schedule, and what happens once the walls are open

The full process

Schedule of work

Plumbing · CSLB # 1105333

  1. We come and look at what you have

    We find out what the house is piped in, check the pressure, look under the sinks and at the water heater, and go where we can get to the lines. There is no charge for this and no expectation that you decide anything on the day.

  2. You get the scope and the number

    A written scope, a written schedule and a written number, with the material named, the fixtures listed and the drywall repair priced in rather than left off. Nothing is opened until you sign.

  3. We do it, close it up and clean up

    Permit pulled, the rough-in inspected before anything is covered, water back on at the end of each day where the scope allows it, then patching, texture and paint. The site gets swept at the close of every day.

If we find something

Opening a wall sometimes turns up rot, old wiring, or a leak nobody knew about. When that happens the work stops and you get a written change order with the new scope and the new number. Nothing further is built until you sign it. You will never learn about an extra cost from the invoice.

Permits are pulled in the licensed name, CSLB # 1105333, and we meet the inspector. That is our job, not yours.
