How fast can a plumber get to my emergency?

Our emergency plumbers typically arrive within 1–2 hours in the Salinas 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 Salinas 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 Salinas 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. Salinas's mature tree canopy — especially older neighborhoods like Land Park, East Salinas, and Curtis Park — makes root intrusion particularly prevalent.

How much does water heater replacement cost?

Water heater replacement in Salinas 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.

Unfortunately we have had 3 major plumbing issues in the last month . It's an older house, so totally expected. Fortunately, we know Acme Plumbing and they are GREAT!! Trevor is super responsive and smart enough to send the same guy each time so he knows the ins and outs of our house. Will is AWESOME, I just feel bad he's had to crawl into the depths underneath our house so many times. 2 of our issues were on a Sunday, and still their pricing was totally reasonable and worth every penny (especially since one was a sewer back up!! ) I would HIGHLY recommend Acme Plumbing for any of your needs!!

Thank you Acme Plumbing!!! These guys are terrific. Ed took my call after hours with a plumbing emergency and had someone there within an hour! It turns out we needed a replacement on our sewer lateral. It was an emergency and he got it done within days. The workmanship was exceptional and the crew was polite and clean. I highly recommend Acme.

Plumbing Technician Anthony saw the “T” fitting with a pinhole leak sandwiched between the wall and ceiling framing. He gave it his all to cut access and replace the “T” fitting that had zero access. Anthony did the impossible and I highly appreciate him finding a way and not stopping until the leak was repaired. Great Job Anthony!!
