Plumbing Service in Santa Cruz

Aptos Plumbing serves Santa Cruz and the surrounding communities with plumbing repair and installation. Santa Cruz has a mix of older Craftsman homes and modest mid-century cottages, a lot of them with original cast iron drain lines and galvanized supply pipes that have earned their rest. The damp marine air and the way the soil settles around older foundations means we see plenty of slab leaks, slow drains that back up when you least expect it, and water heaters that work harder than they should.

We show up with a full truck, diagnose what's actually wrong, and tell you the cost before we start. If it's after hours and your water won't shut off or a pipe burst under the house, call us. We handle emergency shutoff and damage control the same way we handle routine work: focused and clean.

Whether you need a drain cleared, a toilet rebuilt, a water heater swapped out, or a sewer line scoped with a camera, we work through Santa Cruz and all the way down the coast to Salinas and inland to Hollister.

What we see most in Santa Cruz

• Cast iron and galvanized pipe corrosion in pre-1960s homes, leading to leaks and poor water pressure.
• Slab leaks from soil shift and settling, especially in older Craftsman and ranch homes close to the San Lorenzo River.
• Slow drains and blockages in lines that have decades of scale and debris buildup.
• Water heaters failing at 10 to 15 years old because of mineral load in the local supply.
• Root intrusion into sewer lines, particularly in neighborhoods with large trees and older terracotta piping.
