Repair and remodel plumbing for homes in La Mesa and nearby: slow or backed-up drains, no hot water, leaks and fixtures that have worn out.
They are always neat and tidy and I hardly know they have been here…
Most calls start with something a homeowner notices: water that drains slowly, a heater that runs cold, a wet spot on the wall, a faucet that will not shut off.
Slow sinks, gurgling toilets and a tub that fills while the washer drains usually point to a clog or a sewer lateral that needs attention. Plenty of older houses here still drain through their original cast iron, and swapping a failing run for ABS is regular work.

No hot water, rusty water, a tank that rumbles or a puddle under it. Tank and tankless water heaters get repaired or replaced, the new one sized for the household and set up with the straps and venting the code calls for.

Dripping or seized faucets, running toilets, a disposal that hums and quits, a shutoff valve that will not close. New fixtures and supply lines go in during kitchen and bath remodels too.

A water bill that jumps, a damp patch on drywall, a warm spot on the floor or running water with every tap closed. Leaking supply lines and fittings get found and repaired, and where the pipe is worn all the way through the house, a re-pipe replaces it.

Heavy rain soaks the ground around old clay and cast-iron sewer laterals, roots that crept in through cracked joints catch more debris, and a line that drained slowly all summer backs up into a tub or a floor drain. When that happens, stop running water in the house and keep the cleanout cap outside clear so the line can be reached.
Amazing! Gabriel Vallejo has taken over the business but has been trained by and worked with Phil for 20 years. He stepped right up and replaced the stem on my frozen bathroom sink faucet for a very reasonable price in only half an hour. Just wow. It was a very challenging job due to the awkward angles of the custom vanity but he made it work. Just a little background, my neighbor who is an engineer and has built homes tried to replace the faucet stem for me but wasn't able to, even after calling in his experienced uncle. It turns out that Gabe was able to recognize the newer design on the faucet and pop it right out…
Phil and Gabriel are incredible. Phil was recommended to me by my father's friend. He has come out and worked on our main sewer line which needed a huge repair. Gabriel fixed a leaking toilet and installed a dishwasher for us…
After our previous plumber retired we started using Phil Peterson for our plumbing work. The last two jobs were done for us by Gabriel Vallejo who is an associate of Phil's. Gabriel's work is excellent, I recommend both him and Phil when you need quality work at a reasonable price.
Water heater flushes before the summer heat Hose bibs and irrigation lines checked for leaks Sewer lines cleared before the winter rains Rainy-season backups and slow drains cleared
