Your local plumber in Santa Monica
Pacific Plumbing Team is a licensed plumbing contractor based on Venice Blvd, a few miles from Santa Monica. We handle everything from a slow kitchen drain in an Ocean Park bungalow to a sewer line replacement for a Wilshire Boulevard apartment building.
Santa Monica is a mix of 1920s–1950s homes, older multi-unit buildings and new construction, and each comes with its own plumbing quirks. Our technicians work in the city every week, so we know what to look for and how to get the job done cleanly – with permits pulled through the City of Santa Monica when the work requires them.
Plumbing problems we see most in Santa Monica
Coastal air, mature street trees and decades-old pipes are behind most of the calls we get from Santa Monica.
Tree roots in sewer laterals
Many Santa Monica homes still have original clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Roots from big street and yard trees find the joints and cause repeat backups. We camera the line first, then clear it with hydro jetting or recommend a repair only if the pipe is actually damaged.
Hard water and water heater wear
Santa Monica water is on the hard side, so sediment builds up fast in tank water heaters and scale shortens their life. We flush, repair and replace tank and tankless heaters, including the seismic strapping and venting the code requires.
Old galvanized and cast-iron pipes
Pre-1960 homes and apartment buildings often still run on galvanized supply lines and cast-iron drains. Low pressure, rusty water and pinhole leaks are the usual signs. We can spot-repair or repipe with PEX or copper.
Leaks in condos and multi-unit buildings
In stacked units a small leak quickly becomes a neighbor’s ceiling stain. Our leak detection pinpoints the source without opening up more walls than necessary, and we coordinate with owners and HOAs.

Fantastic service. We have used Pacific Plumbing for years, and every team member is extremely knowledgeable and thorough. Great people!
Called several plumbers on a Sunday morning and these guys got back to me the fastest, at 8 AM. Emmanuel was so patient and immediately found me a technician named Brandon. Brandon was patient and professional, he got my ring out of the sink drain in no time, and even flagged a leaking issue in my place. He was also super friendly to my dog. Emmanuel kept in touch the whole time to make sure the technician was on the way, got the job done, and everything was handled perfectly. Truly thorough from start to finish. Highly recommend!
Great experience with Ilya (Plumber) & Emmanuel (Customer Service)! I cannot recommend them enough. We had a problem with shower hardware where it wouldn't turn off and it was an easy fix but we did not have the tools at home. Ilya came very fast and fixed it. They were very kind and understanding.
Great work, they were on time and finished relatively quickly. The crew was nice communicated well and respectful.
Great response time. Solved my problem, and were very fair, transparent, and communicative. Would 100% use them again.
Outstanding service from start to finish! They came out today to fix my toilet and exceeded my expectations in every way. They diagnosed the problem quickly and completed the repair efficiently. They were extremely courteous, respectful of my home, and took the time to make sure I understood what was going on. The quality of the work was pristine, the repair was done promptly and professionally, and the toilet is working perfectly! I highly recommend for this to be the company you call. Fast, professional, and genuinely nice people who take pride in their work. I'll definitely be using them again for any future plumbing needs!
Santa Monica plumbing FAQ
How fast can a plumber get to my home in Santa Monica?
Because our office is on Venice Blvd, we can usually be at a Santa Monica address the same day, and for emergencies often within a couple of hours. Call (800) 965-5508 and we will give you an arrival window.
Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Santa Monica?
Yes. Water heater replacement in Santa Monica requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit, install the heater to code with seismic straps and proper venting, and schedule the inspection for you.
Why does my sewer line keep backing up?
In Santa Monica the most common cause is tree roots growing into older clay or cast-iron laterals. Snaking only cuts a hole through the roots. A camera inspection shows the condition of the pipe so you can choose between hydro jetting, a spot repair or a trenchless replacement.
Do you work on apartment buildings and condos in Santa Monica?
Yes. We service multi-unit buildings, HOAs and property managers, including main line cleaning, shared sewer laterals, leak detection between units and water heater replacements.
