Plumbing Services in Sacramento, CA
Plumbing Services in Sacramento, CA
5-Star Plumbing handles every residential plumbing job in Sacramento and the surrounding county, from a dripping faucet to a full sewer line replacement. Every technician is a licensed employee, every price is approved before work starts, and every permit goes through the City under CSLB #1038276. Pick the service below, or call (916) 796-1233 and describe the problem. The dispatcher will tell you which page you need.
Water Heaters
No hot water, a leaking tank, or a unit past its tenth birthday. We repair tank and tankless heaters the same day when parts are on the truck, replace tanks with the old unit hauled away, and install tankless systems with the gas and venting upgrades Sacramento code requires. Hard water shortens heater life across the county, so a softener often pays for itself in the next heater.

Drain Cleaning
A slow sink, a tub that stands in water, or a toilet that gurgles when the washer drains. We clear the line, then show you on camera why it clogged, because a drain that keeps coming back is usually a sewer problem, not a drain problem. Grease and roots get hydro-jetting; everything else gets cabling and a clean bill of health.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Sacramento sewer laterals are mostly clay or Orangeburg from the 1950s through the 1970s, and roots find every joint. We camera the line first, repair the damaged section when that will hold, and replace the whole lateral by trenchless pipe bursting or open trench when it will not. A two-way cleanout at the foundation makes every future service call faster and cheaper.

- Sewer Line Repair (spot repairs and section replacement)

Leak Detection and Water Lines
A water bill that doubled, a warm spot on the floor, or the sound of running water when everything is off. We locate leaks inside walls, under slabs, and along the main line from the meter to the house with acoustic and thermal equipment, so the repair opens one spot instead of five.
Repiping
Galvanized steel from the 1960s, polybutylene from the 1980s, or copper with pinhole leaks. When repairs become a monthly habit, a whole-home repipe resets the house for decades. Copper is our first recommendation for homeowners who plan to stay: rigid metal pipe with the longest service life. PEX is the option for tighter budgets. We plan the routing room by room, pull permits, and schedule the inspection, so water is off for hours, not days.
Gas Lines
A new line for a range, dryer, BBQ, fire pit, or generator, or a leak you can smell. Gas work in Sacramento requires a C36 license, a permit, and a pressure test, and we provide all three. If you smell gas right now, leave the house and call PG&E first, then call us.
Kitchen Plumbing
Sink and faucet swaps, garbage disposals that hum or jam, dishwasher hookups, and the supply lines behind the refrigerator. Most kitchen calls are finished in one visit with parts from the truck.
Bathroom Plumbing
Running toilets, shower valves that will not hold a temperature, vanity installs, and tub drains. We handle the plumbing side of a bathroom remodel and the Saturday emergency alike.
- Bathroom Plumbing Installation and Repair
- Toilet Installation and Repair
- Shower and Tub Drain Cleaning
Appliance Connections and Valves
Angle stops that will not close, ice maker boxes, laundry boxes, and supply lines that are older than the appliance they feed. Small jobs, but the ones that flood a house when they fail.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, sewer backups, no hot water in January, or a gas smell. If you treat it as an emergency, so do we. Our trucks are based in North Highlands, so most Sacramento addresses are a short drive.
