Plumbing jobs we help with
Water heater repair and installation
A tank or tankless heater that leaks, runs lukewarm or is worn out can be fixed, swapped or newly fitted. The water heater page also has the sizing tools and the age lookup.
Drain cleaning
When kitchen, bath or laundry drains run slow or clog, and when the main line carrying them out of the house does, a plumber clears the blockage and tells you what caused it.
Leak detection and slab leaks
An unexplained rise in your water bill, or a stain that keeps returning to a wall, can mean a hidden leak. A plumber finds where it is coming from, whether in a slab, a wall or the yard line.
Sewer line repair
Roots, a broken section or a worn lateral can each be the cause of a sewer problem, and a plumber tells you which. Which sewer agency serves you depends on the address.
Repiping and water lines
Failing supply piping gets replaced a run at a time or throughout the house, and a new line can come in from the meter. Your water comes from San Dieguito or Olivenhain, and San Dieguito’s lookup helps if you are unsure.
Toilet, faucet and fixture repair
Describe whichever fixture is giving trouble, whether faucet, toilet, shower valve or garbage disposal, and we match you with a plumber who repairs or replaces it.
Five communities, two sewer systems
Encinitas became a single city in 1986 by bringing together New Encinitas, Old Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Olivenhain and Leucadia. A call about an address in any of those five is a call about Encinitas.
Sewer service does not follow one map. The City’s Wastewater Division serves the Encinitas and Cardiff sanitary divisions, while the separate Leucadia Wastewater District serves Leucadia and much of New Encinitas. Sewage then goes to the Encina Wastewater Authority in Carlsbad or the San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility in Cardiff for treatment.
Sewer service follows the address, so give us the full street address when you call.
Two water districts
Encinitas is served by two water districts, San Dieguito Water District and Olivenhain Municipal Water District. Customers in Carlsbad, San Diego and Solana Beach are also served by the Olivenhain district.
San Dieguito has a lookup on its website where you can verify that the district serves your property. If you are unsure which district is yours, that lookup is the place to begin.
Our process

Call and tell us what is going on and the full street address. That is enough for us to start matching you with a local plumber.

Your estimate comes free, shaped around your job and without obligation. Ask us anything along the way, and take as long as you need to decide.
Get the work done
The independent plumber you hire does the work you agreed on, and you can call us again if anything about the job is unclear.
Free plumbing tools
Encinitas is included in the freeze risk checker and in the sewer line age checker, two of the five tools. Water heaters are covered by the serial number decoder, the tankless flow calculator and the size calculator. Each tool turns a few answers into a planning estimate, and a plumber confirms the details at your home.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a state license class for plumbing work?
Yes. The Contractors State License Board calls it C-36, Plumbing Contractor, and the class reaches water heating and the water and gas lines beyond the meter on the house side.
Can I use the plumbing tools without calling?
Yes. Each tool is free and asks only a few things, like how many people live in the house, the year it was built or a heater’s serial number. The results are planning estimates for a plumber to confirm on site.
Is the first call free?
Yes. The call itself is free, and the estimate you are given afterward is free and personalized, with no strings attached. Keep the street address nearby.
Serving Encinitas and nearby cities
We also serve Oceanside, Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos. Call us for confirmation if your address is outside the area.
