From a simple clogged drain to a complete whole-house repipe, Hector's Plumbing & Rooter handles the full range of residential plumbing — all under one roof, with one trusted team. Every service comes with upfront pricing, licensed technicians, and our commitment to getting it done right the first time.
Slow drains and recurring clogs are more than just annoying — they're often signs of a deeper issue in your plumbing system. Our drain cleaning service uses professional-grade snaking and hydro-jetting equipment to completely clear blockages in kitchen sinks, bathroom drains, floor drains, and main sewer lines. We don't just push the clog further down the pipe; we remove it entirely and inspect the line to make sure the problem won't return. Ideal for homeowners dealing with persistent backups, foul odors, or gurgling pipes. Free estimate
Whether your old tank water heater is leaking, losing efficiency, or has simply reached the end of its life, our team handles full water heater replacement and new installation for both traditional tank and modern tankless systems. We help you choose the right unit for your household size and hot water demands, handle all permit requirements, remove and dispose of your old unit, and ensure a code-compliant installation. Most replacements are completed the same day, so you're not left without hot water overnight. Free estimate
A hidden leak can waste thousands of gallons of water and cause serious structural damage to your home before you even notice it. Hector's team uses electronic leak detection technology to locate leaks behind walls, beneath floors, and in slab foundations without tearing apart your home. Once we pinpoint the source, we perform a precise, lasting repair and verify the fix with pressure testing. We also check for secondary damage and advise you on any follow-up steps to protect your property. Free estimate
Sewer line problems are among the most disruptive plumbing issues a homeowner can face — from sewage backups and foul smells to soggy patches in the yard. We begin every sewer job with a high-definition camera inspection to identify the exact location and cause of the problem, whether it's tree root intrusion, pipe collapse, or corrosion. Our team performs both traditional and trenchless sewer repairs, minimizing disruption to your landscaping and driveway while delivering a permanent solution backed by warranty. Free estimate
If your San Diego home was built before the 1980s, there's a good chance your plumbing is running on galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes that are corroding from the inside out. Our whole-house repiping service replaces all outdated supply lines with modern copper or PEX piping, improving water pressure, eliminating rust-colored water, and protecting your home from catastrophic pipe failure. We plan the job meticulously to minimize wall openings, complete most repipes in two to three days, and handle all city inspections so you don't have to. Free estimate
Call us at 619-555-0147 or fill out our online form. We'll ask a few questions about your issue and book a same-day or next-day appointment that fits your schedule.
A licensed Hector's technician arrives at your home, performs a thorough inspection using professional diagnostic tools, and presents you with a clear, written estimate before any work begins.
We complete the repair or installation to code, test everything to confirm it's working perfectly, and clean up our work area. You receive a warranty and a follow-up call to make sure you're fully satisfied.
Yes — same-day service is one of our core commitments. In most cases, if you call us before noon, we can have a licensed technician at your home the same day. For true emergencies like active leaks, sewer backups, or no hot water, we prioritize rapid dispatch and will do everything possible to reach you within hours of your call.
The cost of drain cleaning depends on the location and severity of the clog. We provide free estimates and will always give you a clear price before we start any work. There are no hidden trip charges or surprise fees — the number we quote is the number you pay. Call us for a quick assessment over the phone and we'll give you a ballpark before we even arrive.
Absolutely. Every technician at Hector's Plumbing & Rooter holds a valid California plumbing license and carries full liability and workers' compensation insurance. We're happy to provide proof of licensing and insurance upon request. This protects you, your property, and gives you the confidence that our work meets all state and local codes.
Common signs include discolored or rusty water, frequent leaks in different areas of the home, low water pressure throughout the house, or if your home has galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes installed before the 1980s. We offer free repiping consultations where we inspect your existing pipes, assess their condition, and give you an honest recommendation — we'll never push a repipe if a simpler repair will solve the problem.
