Know your San Diego house
The city's recycled water system delivers purple-pipe water for irrigation in parts of San Diego. Mission Hills is a designated historic district with early-20th-century homes, including Craftsman and Prairie styles.
Building permits are applied for online through the Development Services Department. Houses updated in stages can have three kinds of pipe under one roof, and the spots where old meets new deserve a close look during any repair.
Earthquake readiness matters for plumbing too: flexible connectors and a strapped water heater are part of many local code requirements. Most of the city's water is imported, mainly from the Colorado River and Northern California.
Who handles what in San Diego
Your drinking water comes from the City of San Diego Public Utilities Department, and wastewater goes to the Public Utilities Department, with treatment at the Point Loma plant. When a drain backs up, the question is where the blockage sits: inside the house or in your private sewer lateral is usually the owner's job, while the public main belongs to the utility. California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check.

What people ask us
Who pays when the sewer backs up?
It depends on where the blockage is. Problems inside the home or in the private lateral are usually the owner's responsibility. A camera inspection shows where the trouble sits.
What should I tell the plumber on the phone?
Say what you see, where it is, how long it has been going on and whether water is actively leaking. A photo helps them bring the right parts.
Is one slow drain worth a call?
One slow drain can often be cleared with a plunger or by cleaning the trap. Several slow or gurgling drains at once point to a problem further down the line.
