Answers to common plumbing questions from our customers
❓ Do you offer free estimates?

❓ What areas do you serve?
We serve Stockton, Manteca, Lodi, Tracy, Elk Grove, Sacramento, and Livermore and surrounding communities throughout the San Joaquin Valley.
❓ Are you licensed and insured?
Yes. Plumbing Solutions is fully licensed (Lic #1081730) and insured in California, as a division of Wight Excavating & Construction Inc.
❓ What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless sewer repair lets us fix or replace your sewer line with minimal digging using pipe lining or pipe bursting — resulting in a new pipe with very little disturbance to your property.
❓ Do I get a free camera inspection?
Yes! We include a FREE sewer camera inspection with every drain cleaning service, so you know exactly what’s happening inside your pipes before any additional work.
❓ How do I know if I need a new water heater?
Signs you may need a new unit: it’s 10+ years old, you’re running out of hot water, you see rust or discoloration, the unit is leaking, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost.
❓ What’s the difference between tank and tankless water heaters?
A tank heater stores hot water continuously (lower upfront cost). A tankless unit heats water only when needed — endless hot water, lower energy bills, and 20+ year lifespan.
❓ Can you work on commercial properties and HOAs?
Yes! We are a preferred vendor for HOAs and property management companies, offering scheduled maintenance programs and priority response.
❓ Do you handle septic systems?
Yes, we service and install septic tanks for residential and commercial properties — including repairs, component replacement, and new system installation.
❓ How quickly can you respond?
We offer prompt response times throughout our service area. Typically next-day or same-week. Call (209) 926-4933 to schedule.
