Services
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning service removes obstructions and buildup from pipes to ensure optimal water flow. Using advanced equipment, we address clogs in kitchens, bathrooms, and main sewer lines. This service prevents backups, reduces odors, and extends the lifespan of your plumbing system while maintaining compliance with local codes.
Water Heater Services
We provide comprehensive water heater maintenance, repairs, and installations for tank and tankless systems. Our technicians diagnose issues like insufficient hot water or leaks, perform efficiency upgrades, and ensure safe operation. Regular servicing extends system longevity and reduces energy costs for residential and commercial properties.
Sewer Line Replacement
Our trenchless sewer line replacement minimizes landscape disruption while addressing damaged pipelines. Using cured-in-place pipe technology, we repair cracks, root intrusions, and corrosion. This method offers faster completion times, reduced costs, and long-term durability compared to traditional excavation methods.
Leak Detection
We specialize in locating hidden leaks using acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging. Our process identifies slab leaks, pipe corrosion, and fixture issues without destructive wall or floor removal. Timely repairs prevent water waste, structural damage, and mold growth while conserving resources.
Fixture Installation
We install and repair faucets, toilets, sinks, and shower systems with precision. Our team ensures proper water pressure, leak-free connections, and code compliance. We work with modern water-efficient models to reduce utility bills while maintaining functionality and aesthetic appeal for residential and commercial spaces.

John is very professional and knows his trade, I needed to get a water monitoring/ shutoff device put in for my homeowners insurance or my rates will increase a lot. So I called Sunset Cliffs Plumbing John showed up on time and gave me a window of 4hrs to finish the job which entailed a lot of work, 2 pressure regulators 2 ball valves, the water monitoring device and some new copper pipes and fittings, his soldering is excellent! nice and clean and was done in 3 hours! Anyone looking for an excellent plumber call Sunset Cliffs Plumbing, also you can't beat his rates! John also lives close to me in OB and will be calling him for future plumbing repairs.

I've been using John for over a decade now. Hands-down, one of the most reliable plumbers I have ever met. He's worked on big and small projects for me and always comes through even in the most inconvenient times. His work is top notch.

I cannot recommend John and the Sunset Cliffs Plumbing team enough. We have had 2 plumbing issues arise within our own unit and to the exterior water lines for our HOA over the past month and John has been incredibly helpful, responsive and timely to fix these issues within 24 hours of reaching out in each instance. John is friendly, knowledgeable and very fair and transparent with pricing. If you live in center or south county San Diego, John and the team are the best choice out there for any plumbing needs.
