"Most plumbing problems in San Diego homes trace back to one thing eventually — hard water and the chloramine it carries. If you treat the symptom and ignore the cause, you'll see us again in three years."
Why San Diego plumbing isn't like other markets.
Four factors make plumbing here harder than the national average — and they compound each other. Most plumbing problems in a San Diego home trace back to two or three of them at once, which is why a one-symptom diagnosis usually misses the real fix.

See the softener serviceWater Heater Repair & Installation
Tank, tankless, and hybrid heat-pump water heaters. Replacement, repair, and right-sizing for San Diego homes — including hard-water flush protocols and pre-treatment recommendations that triple your heater's life.

Whole-house and section repipes in PEX or copper, matched to your home's age, slab condition, and water quality. We pull permits, coordinate inspection, and patch finish work cleanly.
See the repipe serviceDrain Cleaning & Clog Removal
Stubborn drains, full kitchen-line clogs, and tree-root sewer intrusions. We use camera inspection first, then the right tool — auger, hydro-jetting, or sectional repair. No upselling on a clog that just needs an auger run.

Twenty years of plumbing teaches you what's common across markets and what's specific to one.
"What Boris will tell you about San Diego: the pinhole leak rate in 1980s–90s slab homes is among the highest he's seen anywhere. Water heaters fail two to three years earlier here than national averages. Tankless installs without pre-treatment routinely need replacement years before their rated service life. None of these are bad luck — they're chemistry plus housing stock plus how the original installer scoped the job."
Boris Jabotinsky has over 20 years of residential and commercial plumbing experience. He holds three separate California state license classifications — C-36 Plumbing, C-55 Water Conditioning, and C-20 Warm-Air Heating, Ventilating and Air-Conditioning — which is uncommon among San Diego plumbing contractors. Behind him is an in-house team of skilled, licensed plumbers working under that license, trained to the same standard. The triple credential isn't a marketing line; it's what gives our team the qualifications to diagnose problems that span trades, scope projects without subcontracting half the work, and quote honestly when a problem isn't what it first looks like.
