Plumbing & drain services
Every phase of residential plumbing — handled personally by a licensed owner-operator with 25+ years in the Valley.
Drain Cleaning
Slow drains and backups are the most common calls we get. Whether it’s hair in a shower drain, grease in a kitchen line or roots in your main sewer, we clear it and tell you what caused it so it doesn’t come right back. Many Fresno homeowners keep us on an annual sewer cleaning schedule to stop root problems before they start.
- Kitchen & bath sinks
- Showers & tubs
- Laundry lines
- Main sewer clogs
- Root removal
- Annual maintenance
Toilet Repair & Install
A running toilet can waste hundreds of gallons a day. We fix flappers, fill valves and leaking wax seals fast — or swap in a new, water-efficient toilet when replacement is the better value.
- Running toilets
- Leaking wax seals
- Weak flush
- Clogs
- New installs
- Water-saving upgrades
Faucets
A dripping faucet is money down the drain. We repair cartridges and seals when we can, and install new kitchen, bath and laundry faucets when it’s time — then put everything back under the cabinet where it belongs.
- Drip repair
- Cartridge replacement
- Kitchen faucets
- Bathroom faucets
- Hose bibs
- Shut-off valves
Shower Valves
From older two-handle valves to newer single-handle models, we repair leaks and drips behind the wall and at the head — and replace valves when parts are no longer available.
- Two-handle valves
- Single-handle valves
- Leaking shower heads
- Tub spouts
- Diverters
- Valve replacement
Water Heaters
No hot water? Pilot out? We diagnose and repair tank water heaters, relight pilots and replace units that are leaking or at the end of their life — with an honest recommendation either way.
- Pilot relight
- Thermocouples
- Gas valves
- Leaking tanks
- Full replacement
- Code upgrades
Garbage Disposals
Humming, jammed, leaking or just dead — we’ll repair what can be saved or install a new disposal, usually in a single visit.
- Jams
- Leaks
- Electrical issues
- New installs
- Upgrades
Water Lines
Low pressure, a wet spot in the yard or a jump in your water bill can mean a failing main line. We do targeted spot repairs or replace the full line from meter to house.
- Main line leaks
- Spot repair
- Full replacement
- Low pressure
- Galvanized to copper/PEX
Sewer Lines
Cracked, root-invaded or collapsed sewer lines cause repeat backups. Sometimes a spot repair is all you need — and we’ll tell you honestly before recommending a full line replacement.
- Root intrusion
- Broken pipe
- Spot repair
- Full line replacement
- Clean-out installs
Common questions
Do you give free estimates?
Yes. Free phone estimates are how we keep pricing up-front with no surprises. Texting a photo of the problem helps us give you a more accurate number.
Will I talk to the actual plumber?
Always. When you call Valley Drain you reach Darren, the owner and the person who will do the work — no answering service, no ‘he said, she said.’
Do you do commercial work?
We specialize in residential homes, which lets us focus on doing the job right for homeowners across Fresno, Clovis and Friant.
How often should I have my sewer line cleaned?
Homes with mature trees or a history of root problems often benefit from a yearly cleaning. Many of our customers keep us on an annual schedule to prevent backups.
Do you always recommend replacement?
No. We repair when repair makes sense. Several customers have come to us after another company quoted thousands for a new line — and we solved it with a cleaning or spot repair.
Are you licensed?
Yes — Valley Drain is a California licensed contractor, CSLB #744132.
