Plumber in Hercules, CA

Please note that we do not offer commercial plumbing services, or after-hours emergency plumbing services. After-hours plumbers tend to dramatically overcharge for services, so we recommend shutting off your water main and leaving a message for regular business hours. We will be happy to schedule your service at the beginning of the day, for a fraction of the cost of what 24/7 plumbers charge.

While the water in Hercules exceeds national and state-level requirements, many homeowners still opt for water softeners. Installing a water softener might not seem like the biggest upgrade, but once you try it, it will be hard to imagine life without it. Softened water means your dishes will come out of the dishwasher feeling cleaner. Your laundry will feel cleaner. Your drinking water will taste better, and perhaps most importantly, your entire plumbing system will last longer. That’s because scale mineral buildup from hard water can clog pipes over time and break down your equipment. Water heaters are particularly susceptible to this. Without regular de-scaling, or a water softener, Hercules’ water can shave years off the life of your water heater. And the longer we can make your equipment last, the better.

Whether you need help repairing your current water softener, or whether you’re interested in installing a new one, we’ll be there for you every step of the way. Our team is highly experienced with a wide variety of types and models, including ion exchange systems and dual-tank systems. We’re always happy to walk you through your options so you can make an informed decision.

There’s more than one way to clog a drain, which means there’s more than one way to unclog it. Fat, oil and grease clogs are the most common causes of kitchen sink clogs, while foreign objects, such as flushed toys and sanitary products, tend to be more common with toilet clogs.

At Plumbing Solutions, we take the time to understand the nature of your clog before getting to work. That’s because some solutions are better suited for some kinds of clogs, and sometimes a clog can indicate a bigger underlying issue. For example, if you have multiple drains that back up simultaneously, or drains that only back up when it rains, chances are good that you’re actually seeing signs of a sewer line clog. For those clogs, we rely on high-pressure jetters to thoroughly dislodge any debris on the inside of your sewer line pipes. However, this can also sometimes indicate a sewer line fracture, sewer belly, or root intrusion. If we determine that a sewer jetting alone won’t be enough to restore your sewer line, then the next step is usually to scope the line and determine the exact cause and location of the issue. That way you will be fully informed before making any big decisions.

We’re always happy to give free advice over the phone, especially if it will help you prevent ongoing damage while waiting for your plumber to arrive. And if you’re seeing multiple plumbing problems in your home, but you’re not sure what they add up to, we’ll walk you through every step in the process. So call now and learn why more homeowners in Hercules call Plumbing Solutions than anyone else.
