In the radical winter of 2022-23, a relatively unknown phenomenon called an ‘atmospheric river’ dumped record levels of rainfall and snow onto the golden state. As the state thawed and dried out, its residents were left wondering if this was a one-off event, a strange blip in the radar to interrupt the years of barely interrupted drought.
As it turns out, the ‘Pineapple Express’ decided to make a repeat showing in the early months of 2024, dumping over 7 feet of snow over two days in higher mountain ranges and well over 4 inches of rain in some areas of the state. This sudden deluge caused huge problems on both the macro and micro level for California residents, with large mudslides accompanied by many a flooded backyard due to blocked drains.
The years of nearly continual drought have allowed many California citizens to grow lax in their property maintenance. As storms grow in intensity and regularity, it becomes essential to rain-proof your property – which means ensuring proper drainage for all of your outdoor areas.
During the drier years, a large amount of dirt and grime builds up in your yard thanks to weather patterns like the Santa Ana winds. As the rains come, that sediment begins building in your drainage system, eventually causing blockages that can cause flooding. Hiring professionals to come and clean your drains annually is essential to avoiding these potentially damaging floods.

From the initial phone call with Aldo to the completion of the job by Juan, the customer service experience was exceptional! Aldo scheduled my service call with the utmost respect for my time and availability. Juan arrived at my home ready to work and he did an excellent job. I had a couple of issues with my toilet tank and Juan clearly explained my options. I chose a new toilet altogether and he completed the removal and install in less than an hour. The total price was very fair. Juan was very thorough, careful, and respectful of my property and floors. He did an excellent job and left no evidence of any work done nor trash. He also hauled away the old toilet without any mess. I was very impressed by his attention to detail. I highly recommend CA Plumbing. They are professional and treat customers like family. I will be calling them next time the need arises.

I’m here to echo what all other reviews say. This company is great and simply the best plumber in the San Diego area. I went through a different plumber as recommended by my Home Warranty and it was an absolute nightmare. AVOID PLUMBERS INC. I was in a bad spot with one of my non working toilets. I called California Plumbing and they came out the next day assessed what needed to be fixed, went to get the parts they needed and fixed it the same day! Other plumber was quoting me 2-3 weeks to get the part and to fix the toilet. Joey you are legend for helping me out in this tough spot. What are you waiting for? If you need a plumber give California Plumbing a call! Thank you!!
