Looking for a plumber in Buena Park, CA?

We're a family-owned, independent plumbing company. We're licensed, bonded and insured, with workers compensation for our crew. Most of our calls fall into a few groups: drains and sewer lines, water heaters, leaks and pipes, fixtures, gas lines and water treatment. If it carries water or gas in your home, we work on it.

What's really behind a sewer backup?

A backup means wastewater can't get out of the house. The cause is usually a blockage or damage in the main sewer line, not in a single fixture.

How can you tell it's the main line and not one drain?

One slow sink usually means a clog in that sink's own pipe. When several drains act up at once, the problem is often further down. Watch for a toilet that gurgles when the washer drains, water rising in the tub when you flush, or a sewer smell inside. Our page on signs of a sewer line problem lists more clues.

How do tree roots get into a sewer pipe?

Roots grow toward water. A tiny crack or a loose joint in a buried pipe leaks a little moisture, and roots follow it in. Once inside, they spread into a thick mat that catches paper and waste. Clearing them helps, but roots often come back if the crack stays open. You can learn more about root intrusion in sewer lines.

What does a camera inspection show?

We push a small waterproof camera down the line and watch it on a screen. It shows roots, cracks, sags where water pools, and offset joints. That way we don't guess. We fix what's actually there. We also offer a free video inspection, so you can see the problem for yourself before you decide anything.

What happens during a drain cleaning visit?

We find the clog, clear it with a cable machine or water jet, and then check the line so you know it's open all the way.

How much does drain cleaning cost?

Our drain cleaning runs $99 to $350, and the $99 price comes with a camera inspection on one qualifying drain with an exterior ground-level cleanout, and it excludes yard drains. The final price depends on the drain, the access and how tough the clog is.

When is hydro jetting the better choice?

A cable cuts a path through a clog. That's often enough. But grease, scale and root bits can coat the whole pipe wall, and a cable leaves most of that behind. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scrub the pipe clean from end to end. It runs $650 to $850. See how hydro jetting works for the details.

What if the pipe is broken?

Some lines are cracked, crushed or sagging, and cleaning can't fix that. We'll show you the camera footage and talk through sewer line repair options, from fixing one section to replacing the line. Sewer replacement and trenchless work are priced after we see the line.

Can Done-Rite handle the rest of the house too?

Yes. Beyond drains and sewers, we repair and replace water heaters, fix leaks and pipes, install fixtures, work on gas lines and set up water treatment.

What about a water heater that quits?

No hot water usually points to a failed part, like a thermostat, igniter or gas valve. A leak from the tank itself means the tank has reached the end. A tank water heater runs $2,300 to $3,200 installed, and a tankless unit runs $4,000 to $6,000 installed. A $150 tune-up can help a healthy tank last longer by flushing out sediment.

Which smaller jobs do we take on?

Dripping faucets, running toilets, leaky shower valves, worn garbage disposals and new sinks are all part of the work. A running toilet can waste a surprising amount of water, so it's worth fixing even when it seems minor. Visit our fixtures, faucets and toilets page to see the full list.

Who do you call when plumbing fails at night?

Call us. Done-Rite offers 24/7 emergency service for burst pipes, sewer backups, major leaks and water heater failures.

What should you do before we get there?

For a water leak, close your main shutoff valve. It's often near where the water line enters the house or by the water meter. For a sewer backup, stop running water and flushing toilets until we clear the line. If a water heater is leaking, turn off its cold water supply. Our guide on what to do when a pipe bursts has step-by-step help.
