Emergency Plumbing
V-Max Plumbing provides round-the-clock emergency services for urgent issues like burst pipes, gas leaks, and sewer backups. Our licensed technicians respond swiftly to minimize damage and restore functionality. With fully stocked trucks and advanced tools, we ensure efficient repairs for residential and commercial properties in Southern California.
Hydro Jetting
Our hydro jetting service uses high-pressure water streams to clear stubborn clogs and buildup in drains and sewer lines. This non-invasive method effectively removes grease, debris, and tree roots without damaging pipes. Ideal for both residential and commercial systems, it restores optimal flow and prevents future blockages with minimal disruption to your property.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair allows us to fix damaged pipes with minimal excavation. Using pipe bursting or lining techniques, we replace or reinforce underground lines without tearing up landscapes. This eco-friendly solution reduces costs, saves time, and ensures durable results for homeowners and businesses facing sewer line issues.
Sewer Camera Inspection
We employ high-resolution sewer cameras to diagnose plumbing problems accurately. This technology identifies cracks, blockages, and root intrusions in real time, enabling targeted repairs. By avoiding guesswork, we reduce costs and ensure long-lasting fixes for residential and commercial sewer systems across Southern California.
Water Heater Repair
Our experts diagnose and repair all types of water heaters, including tankless and traditional models. From fixing leaks and sediment buildup to thermostat issues, we restore reliable hot water supply efficiently. With prompt service and quality parts, we extend the lifespan of your system while optimizing energy efficiency for cost savings.

Called Ernesto when my parents' dishwasher was leaking and he was able to quickly diagnose the problems over the phone and send his technician out for repair. He was kind enough to offer my parents a senior discount. This is actually my fourth time using V max since we're very happy with the quick response for repair and professionalism. Thank you!!
