Why Sewer Line Restoration? Standard drain cleaning doesn’t cut it when you’re dealing with systemic pipe failure in multi-tenant commercial buildings. We recently tackled a project in San Diego where Almco Plumbing rehabilitated over 500 linear feet of 3-inch cast iron sewer main lines across two properties. The pipes were heavily corroded and, in some […]

When planning a major renovation, a full-scale home repiping is rarely at the top of a homeowner’s wishlist. In this case study, we reveal why starting it before laying new flooring can save thousands of dollars in hidden underground plumbing system repairs. That’s exactly what happened on a recent project Almco Plumbing just handled over […]

Why epoxy pipe lining? Dealing with old cast iron pipes in a Del Mar home is a massive headache. In this case, the owner had been dealing with recurring sewer backups, slow-draining sinks and showers, and a persistent smell of sewer gas throughout the house.

Most of the time, when a homeowner realises they have bad pipes under the house and probably will need sewer repair, they instantly panic about their floors being completely ripped apart.

At the Comic-Con Museum in San Diego, Almco was faced with a non-functional rooftop stormwater drainage system. As a result, rainwater would accumulate, creating the risk of damaging expensive equipment

This project illustrates why it’s so important to call trusted professionals like Almco Plumbing from the start—to save not only your money but your peace of mind

This case study explains how the Almco team tackled just such a problem at a private residence in San Diego using a trenchless pipe rehabilitation method known as CIPP Inversion

In this project, Almco Plumbing showed how use of original construction blueprints, modern materials, and precise engineering allowed to reroute a failing drain system through the garage

In this case study, CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) Inversion lining was used to restore the functionality of a sewer system in a private home in Clairemont
