Find the real cause, agree the fix in writing, then repair it and prove it holds.
We start with testing, not guesswork. Thermal imaging, acoustic equipment and pressure tests show exactly where the water is going, so you are not paying to open walls or floors in the wrong place.
You get a clear explanation of the options and the price before work begins. Our plumbers protect floors and furniture, make the repair and keep the work area clean from start to finish.
Every repair is pressure tested before we call it done. We walk you through what was fixed, what we noticed elsewhere, and what can safely wait, with no pressure to add work you do not need.
The Passionate Plumber handles leak detection, slab leak repair, emergency and pipe leak repair, repiping, sewer repair, tankless water heaters, water filtration and remodel plumbing for homeowners throughout San Clemente and South Orange County.
Thermal imaging, acoustic listening, pressure and isolation testing to find hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, foundations and underground lines without tearing your home apart.
Pinpointed slab leak location, a clean concrete break for direct-access repair, then the slab restored and the line pressure tested before we leave.
Round-the-clock response for burst and leaking pipes, plus spot repairs on copper, PEX and PVC, fixture leaks and yard or irrigation lines.
Whole-home PEX repipes and targeted reroutes that move a failing water line overhead or through the walls, away from the slab for good.
Camera-verified sewer repair, from spot excavation of cracked cast iron to epoxy lining that renews a pipe from the inside with minimal digging.
Tankless water heater installation, repair and descaling flushes, sized to your household so the hot water keeps up with every shower.
Whole-house filtration and softening systems that cut the scale, chlorine taste and spotting that come with South Orange County tap water.
Plumbing for bathroom and kitchen remodels, additions and new construction, from rough-in and relocated drains to the final fixture set.

Answers to the questions we hear most about leaks, repiping, water heaters and emergency calls across San Clemente and South Orange County.
We are based in San Clemente and serve every neighborhood in town, including Talega, Forster Ranch, Rancho San Clemente and the Pier Bowl, along with Dana Point, Capistrano Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Rancho Mission Viejo, Ladera Ranch and the surrounding South Orange County communities.
Common signs are a water bill that jumps without explanation, the sound of running water when every fixture is off, a warm spot on a tile floor, damp baseboards, or a meter that keeps moving with the water turned off. Any one of these is worth a leak detection visit.
Yes. Calls are answered 24 hours a day. If water is actively leaking, shut off the main valve if you can safely reach it, then call (949) 899-2021 and we will talk you through the next steps while a plumber is on the way.
One leak on otherwise healthy pipe is a repair. When a home has had several pinhole leaks in its copper lines, or a second slab leak, repiping or rerouting usually costs less over time than chasing the next failure. We will show you what we find and give you both options.
Yes. After we diagnose the problem we explain what is wrong, what the repair involves and what it costs, and nothing starts until you approve it.
