1.) Design-Build and Fabrication
At Dave’s Custom Plumbing, we design the plumbing system before we build it. This means that for every toilet and tub, there is a pipe that needs to be maneuvered through the house to get the waste and water in and out. This is different for every fixture and space in the house. The layout needs to be planned specifically for your house and according to the specs of the fixtures to ensure proper installation.
2.) Drain Cleaning
Backed up drains and pipes are nightmares for everyone. Usually they happen at inconvenient times. Your toilet flows over, your shower and tub backs up, your sink won’t drain, and all you get is a big smelly mess. Since our technicians are trained plumbers in all aspect of the trade, they are experts in unclogging and snaking your lines.
Since they have many years experience in installing pipes they know exactly how they behave, which will help them in clearing your stoppage in a timely fashion.
Don’t get frustrated with your clogged drains and create an even bigger mess, by trying to ignore the problemm and we will have your lines running clear in the shortest time possible.
We use new sewer equipment to ensure that cleaning the lines goes fast and is efficient for the customer.
3.) Fixtures Repair and Installation
We always try to salvage or repair fixtures when we can. We are experts in repairing faucets, shower, and bath valves. However, sometimes it is not very efficient to try to repair a fixture that is very old or so severely damaged. In this case we would recommend replacing it with a new model.
We will replace, repair or install any faucet and fixture that you choose for your home. We have a cornucopia of knowledge on all manufacturers’ fixtures. Since we have built a lot of custom homes, we have a lot of suppliers for custom fixtures. Please contact us for specific fixture request or check out our.
4.) Appliance Installation Such as Laundry, Dishwasher, Water Filter, Fridge, and Icemaker
We wouldn’t be plumbers if we didn’t know how to install these main appliances to ensure a healthy home. Please give us a call should you require our services with any of the above and we’ll be glad to help.
5.) Gas Line Repair or Installation
We will install and repair your gas lines around your home. We take the utmost care, no matter if it is repairing a leak, moving an existing gas line to a new location, or installing a new line for:
- Stove and range
- Water heater
- BBQ
- Fireplaces and gas logs
- Boilers
- Pool and hot tub equipment
- Furnaces
- Dryers
6.) Leak Detection
If you suspect you have a gas leak, open your windows and call PG&E or your local utility company. They might have to come and shut your gas off. You should always know where your gas shut off valve is, so that you can shut your gas to the house off.
We will always come to determine where your leaks are, be it gas, water, or sewer. Some are easier to detect than others. Some will require high tech equipment such as diluted hydrogen gas tracers. Either way, once we determine where the leak is coming from we will fix it at once so that it won’t happen again.
7.) Line Location
We use electronic equipment to locate lines buried under concrete, or underground.
8.) Preventive Maintenance
We offer preventive maintenance inspections. This is where one of our highly trained professionals, walk through your home, to give you a diagnoses of your general plumbing conditions and inspect the individual working order of all plumbing fixtures in the house. This is recommended at least once a year to prevent major plumbing disasters from happening.
Depending of the age of your house and sewer line, we also recommend a yearly appointment to get the main line cleared. We will come out and snake the line once every year and free it of roots and other debris, such as hair, and grease, that will accumulate throughout the year. This will prevent your line from backing up when you least expect it.

10.) Re-Piping
If your home is 35 to 40 years old, you probably still have water running through galvanized iron pipes. These can cause low water pressure through sediment build up in the pipes, rusty water, coming out of fixtures, leaky pipes, which can go unnoticed and lead to mold. Through a re-pipe we would replace these old galvanized iron pipes with new copper piping. With new copper pipe throughout the house, your water pressure will increase. Your water will taste better (that old rusty taste will go away). Dave’s Custom Plumbing, Inc. is a specialist with re-pipes for water and gas throughout the house.
11.) Sewer Ejector Pumps
We install sewer ejector pumps when your fixture height is below the grade of your sewer line. We offer a high level alarm and emergency back up pump that can be discussed by your service technician.
12.) Sewer Line Replacement (Diagnostic, Replacement, or Repair)
We use video pipe inspection when necessary to ensure the integrity of your sewer main has not been compromised. We also will visually inspect all accessible sewer lines to ensure you have proper grade and that the pipes are still water tight and not leaking.
If a sewer line is beyond repair, we will advise you of your best options and provide you with a detailed estimate.
13.) Toilet Repair or Installations
We can repair just about any type of fixture as long as the material of the body is still in good shape. If you find a problem with a toilet or sink, do get it repaired immediately. Procrastination may lead to more serious troubles by wasting more water and causing new mechanical damage to the toilet. From time to time, we find that it is more cost efficient to install a new toilet than to repair the old one. Especially, if it means replacing an old leaking toilet with a water saving low flush toilet.
New toilets: If you want to remodel your bathroom or it has become more cost effective to replace your toilet, we offer a number of brands for you to choose from. Once our techs see your bathroom, they will know exactly what type of toilet best fits your bathroom setting. We encourage you to use their expertise to your advantage.
14.) Tub and Sink Installation
Dave’s Custom Plumbing has a promise to you and all its clients. That promise is to leave your home looking better than it did when we first walked in. Whether it’s the appearance, the fashion, or the comfort you seek, there’s something out here to fit your fancy and we will find it. We encourage you to use our technician’s expertise to help you choose a sink or tub that suits your criteria. Whether for a bathroom or kitchen, our technicians are here to help you evaluate your space and find a sink or tub that you will love.
15.) Water Filtration Systems
We offer single sink water filtration systems, in line ice maker filtration systems, or whole house water filtration systems. Please click here to read more about water filtration.
16.) Water Heater Installation: Electric, Gas, Tankless and High Efficiency Water Heaters
Our plumbers are experts at installing all types of “hot” water heaters on the market. They have and keep attending training seminars in order to install and repair the most popular water heaters in the market today.
We have experience installing under-the-sink water heaters to large commercial or apartment sized water heaters. We offer you advice on the most appropriate water heater for your home.
