How I Found The Only San Diego Contractor Allowed To Repair Or Replace My Cracked Pipes

How I Found The Only San Diego Contractor Allowed To Repair Or Replace My Cracked Pipes

Bonjour, mon amis. I write to you today soaked to the bone, my mood fouler than the water that I have been soaking in desperately trying to stem a leak in one of my few residential rentals.

This story begins with a simple tenant report of a minor plumbing issue. Being the noble and self-sufficient landlord I am, I decided to handle the matter myself. However, upon descending into the depths of the basement, I found not a minor issue but a scene of utter chaos.

Unbeknownst to me, the tenant—whom I can only describe as a menace with a wrench—had taken it upon themselves to attempt a repair. In doing so, they had managed to damage the pipe further. What I expected to be a small leak was now a steady spray of water, flooding the basement and drenching my spirits.

At first, I cursed the heavens, the tenant, and the treachery of corroded Chinese-sourced plumbing. Then, reluctantly, I accepted the truth: this was no job for even a man of my considerable talents. I needed the best plumber in San Diego. I needed California Plumbing.

As I waited for their arrival, my mind wandered to my early days as a landlord. In France, I never dirtied my hands with such matters. I had landkeepers—skilled, attentive, and discreet—who handled every repair with the efficiency of clockwork. But when I arrived in America to grow my empire, capital was scarce. If I wished to see my properties flourish, I had to learn the ways of repair myself.

And so, I spent many sleepless nights grappling with faulty faucets, squeaky floorboards, and stubborn electrical systems. For a time, I fancied myself quite the handyman, until I encountered my first serious plumbing disaster. I quickly learned that some things are best left to professionals.

It was during that trial that I first encountered California Plumbing. I remember their arrival like it was yesterday: a team of calm, competent professionals who assessed the damage with the precision of surgeons. They repaired the issue swiftly, without fanfare, and at a cost that didn’t make me consider selling one of my many assets.

That experience allowed me to stabilize my first American property. With the drain repair completed, I was able to secure better tenants, increase the property’s value, and leverage it to acquire others. California Plumbing’s skill and efficiency contributed directly to the fortune I enjoy today.

This latest catastrophe, however, tested even my patience. By the time the California Plumbing team arrived, I was ready to raze the building and start anew. But once again, they delivered. The crack was repaired, the water flow restored, and the basement dried out in record time. Their ability to work quickly and precisely in the face of my looming (and wet) presence was nothing short of heroic.

If you, like me, find yourself grappling with the horrors of cracked pipes, corroded systems, or tenant-induced plumbing disasters, I strongly recommend California Plumbing. They are the only contractor I trust to handle my properties in San Diego, and that is not praise I give lightly.

N’est-ce pas: San Diego Drain Cleaning

N’est-ce pas: San Diego Drain Cleaning

It has been many months since my last writings and I must apologize to my loyal readers for this. I have been taking my biannual holidays in tropics of Suriname. As usual, I will not reveal what I do when I travel to dark reaches of rainforest, but I will tell you if you seek hospitality at Madame Chevalier’s in Paramaribo, just mention my name, and you will be taken care of.

I also suffer my usual bout of nausea and depression upon returning to the United States. I get off plane and am immediately assaulted by sight of heifers and their smell working at the customs office in airport. I believe employing such creatures is a form of aggression by United States government against the rest of the world.

After yet another unpleasant car ride with overly chatty Uber driver (never leave tips for these fiends), I finally reached the seclusion of my house on hills in Northern San Diego. Ready to breathe a sigh of relief, I entered my backyard facing the ocean, hoping sounds of crashing waves will soothe the pressure building in my head…and then I see it.

Each drain had a halo of dirt, mud, and detritus surrounding it. The yard I had left so pristine was now a shambles, and the assistant I had assigned to assure it would stay this way would be sorely punished.

First, though, I would need to find out why water was not draining correctly. I opened my address book, hoping to find the plumbing company that had initially installed drains, but realized in my many years of doing business in this joke of a country I had never directly worked with one.

Instead, I called the assistant that had so failed in his duties to upkeep my property and growled over phone that he had better find me the best plumber in the entire city of San Diego to come get to work on my drains, très vite, if he still wanted job in the morning. The company he came up with was California Plumbing, and he had lucked out; they were indeed very good.

The company comes out within days of the initial phone call, which is far better than most contractors you work with today. They were respectful of both my personal boundaries and my property, which is a surprise considering the boorish nature of most American tradesmen. With my drains now satisfactorily draining the water and my assistant serving out his punishment by retiling the surrounding area, I jotted down the contact information for the company. I consider this a very high honor.

Much like the body, drains must be cleansed regularly to ensure the entire system works as it should. For those who value service and speed, it would behoove you to get in contact with a company like California Plumbing, as they impressed even a discerning eye such as my own.
