Most Common Plumbing Problems in Clairemont, San Diego

So, what plumbing problems do Clairemont (San Diego) residents face? The following are some of the most common:

1. Aging Pipes. Many homes and buildings in the area still rely on original cast iron or clay sewer pipes that were installed decades ago. Over time, these materials corrode, crack, or develop leaks, leading to frequent blockages and pipe collapses.
2. Tree Root Encroachment. Trees can also cause problems, as their roots often penetrate cracks in older pipes in search of water, causing severe blockages.
3. Overloaded Systems. As many properties are rebuilt or expanded, increased water use often exceeds the capacity of the original sewer systems, leading to overloading and frequent maintenance.

To address these challenges, Clairemont homeowners and property managers benefit from Almco’s advanced sewer solutions:

• Trenchless Repair
• Hydrojetting
• Epoxy Pipe Lining
• Full Pipe Replacement

These methods help preserve the character of the neighborhood while ensuring the long-term reliability of the plumbing systems.

Customer’s Problem: The Customer had a partial epoxy lining on a sewer pipe, and in order to repair the rest of the pipe, the living room floor had to be broken up.

Almco’s Solution: We suggested installing a completely new pipe using pipe bursting without destroying the living room floor. We also cleaned the kitchen sewer and the epoxy lining for that part of the house.

Customer’s Problem: Houses in Clairemont in the 40’s and 60’s did not have pressure regulators. However, the pressure in the city water system rises to 200 PSI at night and 110–130 PSI during the day. These differential pressures cause plumbing fixtures and appliances connected to the water system (such as washing machines and dishwashers) to fail, connection pipes to break, and water to flood the house. Or the pressure regulators were installed in the 70s and have already failed.

Almco’s Solution: In addition to installing new working pressure regulators, we recommend installing a water pressure gate to monitor the pressure in your home’s plumbing system. We will also check the operation of the shut-off valve so that the water supply to the house can be shut off in the event of an emergency.

Customer’s Problem: Prior to partially rebuilding the house, the client decided to replace the old sewer system and repair the kitchen plumbing at the same time.

Almco’s Solution: Because the sewer line in the yard was only 2 feet below the surface, the section between the toilet and the main line was replaced using the traditional trench method. The kitchen line was also repaired with a spray epoxy lining.
