How fast can a plumber get to my emergency?

Our emergency plumbers typically arrive within 1–2 hours in the Porterville metro area. We're available 24/7, including weekends and holidays. Call immediately if you have active flooding or a gas leak.

What should I do while waiting for the plumber?

Turn off the water main valve (usually near your water meter or where the main line enters your home). If there's a gas leak, leave the house and call 911. Place towels or buckets to catch water and move valuables away from affected areas.

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Drain cleaning in Porterville typically costs $125–$500. A single clogged drain costs $125–$250 to clear. Main sewer line cleaning with hydro-jetting runs $250–$500. We provide upfront pricing before starting.

What causes drains to clog in Porterville homes?

The most common causes are grease and food buildup in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, and tree root intrusion in main sewer lines. Porterville's mature tree canopy — especially older neighborhoods like Land Park, East Porterville, and Curtis Park — makes root intrusion particularly prevalent.

How much does water heater replacement cost?

Water heater replacement in Porterville costs $1,200–$4,500 depending on the type. Standard tank water heaters run $1,200–$2,500, tankless models $2,500–$4,500. Heat pump water heaters qualify for SMUD rebates up to $4,000.

What SMUD rebates are available for water heaters?

SMUD offers up to $4,000 in rebates for heat pump water heater installation. Combined with federal tax credits, you could save $4,000–$6,000 on an energy-efficient upgrade. We handle all rebate paperwork.

When you hire a company be sure to check that they are a licensed professional, first off... This is how AP&S repaired the damaged septic lines they caused while digging in search of the septic tank. They cut a styrofoam cup in 1/2, placing over the hole (top line) and tying a piece of trash bag around it (torn off from my trash bag) then covering it up a bit. While they were initially trying to locate the septic tank they dug huge holes down the line and never even got close. But hey, they state they have 20 years of experience in the business... Be very careful when choosing a company. Do your due diligence by reading reviews and checking the Contractors State License Board "look-up". PS, the company we had come out after this found the septic tank in about 10 minutes. I would NOT recommend AP&S.
