Our expert plumbers specialize in delivering comprehensive drain services throughout Del Mar and beyond, using state-of-the-art equipment to ensure smooth-flowing pipes.
Repairs may be necessary to restore functionality and prevent leaks or backups when sewer lines are damaged or compromised. Depending on the extent and nature of the damage, plumbers may utilize techniques such as trenchless pipe lining, pipe bursting, spot repairs, or traditional excavation and replacement.
Yes. Powers Plumbing is a fully licensed and insured California contractor (License #877814). Every job is performed by trained, experienced plumbers and completed to code.
Powers Plumbing stands behind its workmanship on the work we install and replace. Drain snaking and hydro jetting are not covered by a warranty: when we clear a drain, we’re clearing an existing line we didn’t install, so we can’t guarantee the condition of that line or how long it will stay clear.
We provide free estimates on most plumbing work. Cost depends on the job — a simple repair is very different from a repipe or sewer replacement — so we give you an upfront, photo-documented estimate with materials and pricing before any work starts. No surprises, no inflated fees.
We handle the full range of residential and commercial plumbing: leak detection, drain cleaning and hydro jetting, water heater repair and installation (tank and tankless), repiping, trenchless sewer and pipe repair, gas lines, water treatment, and garbage disposals.
Powers Plumbing has served San Diego since 1914 — over 110 years and 10,000-plus customers. We’re a family-owned company, and many of our customers have relied on us for 20 to 30 years, which is rare in the plumbing industry and a big part of why San Diego trusts us.
