Services
Water Heater Repair
Our technicians diagnose and repair all types of water heater issues, including gas and electric models. We identify problems like faulty thermostats, sediment buildup, or leaking tanks to restore reliable hot water access. With upfront pricing and quality replacement parts, we ensure efficient, long-lasting repairs that minimize energy waste.
Drain Cleaning
We clear stubborn drain blockages using advanced hydrojetting and auger techniques. Our technicians remove debris buildup in kitchen, bathroom, and sewer lines while identifying recurring issues like tree root intrusion. Preventative maintenance recommendations help clients avoid future clogs and pipe damage through regular cleaning schedules.
Water Leak Detection
Using thermal imaging and pressure testing, we locate hidden water leaks in walls, floors, and underground pipes. Our non-invasive methods pinpoint exact problem areas to minimize repair costs. We address both immediate leaks and implement solutions to prevent future moisture damage to properties.
Repiping Services
We replace outdated or damaged plumbing systems with modern piping materials like PEX or copper. Our team handles full-home and commercial repiping projects, addressing issues like corroded pipes, low water pressure, or lead contamination. We provide budget-friendly options and ensure minimal disruption during installation.
Sewer Line Repairs
Our specialists repair and maintain underground sewer lines using trenchless technology when possible. We address backups, cracks, and root intrusion through camera inspections and targeted repairs. Preventative maintenance plans help commercial clients avoid costly emergency situations and maintain proper drainage systems.

I highly recommend Big John's plumbing. Jurupa Valley local. Support local business! Live in a mobile home? They take care of you. No plumber wants to crawl and work under your MH. I recommend you put this company in your contact list now for future plumbing needs. Ben was our awesome tech!

Needed plumbing service at our home this morning. All I can say is we needed a clean out due to teenage boys lol anyhow, if you have ever been in the situation it's not something you can wait days to fix... Big John's plumbing had a tech to my home within an hour, and problem was resolved in minutes. Ramon was our tech, he was friendly and helpful. They have earned our future business, great family ran business.
