About Sal's Plumbing Service
What is Sal's Plumbing Service?
Sal’s Plumbing Service is a plumbing company serving homeowners and businesses in Turlock and the surrounding towns. The work covers drains, sewer lines, water lines, water heaters, gas lines, repiping and fixtures. The motto, the honest plumber, describes how every job is quoted and explained.
How long has the business been operating?
The company was founded in 2019 by Salvador Lopez. It has served the local area continuously since then. That experience covers both quick repairs and large replacement projects.
Where is the business based?
The company is based in Turlock and works across Stanislaus County and the neighbouring towns. Being local means shorter travel and quicker scheduling for most jobs. You can check coverage for your town on the service areas pages.
What makes this different from other plumbing companies?
The difference is in how the work is explained before it is done. You are told what the actual problem is, what the options are, and what each one costs, rather than being pushed toward the largest job. Honest advice, fair pricing and quality workmanship are the standard on every call.
Do you work on commercial properties as well as homes?
Yes, both residential and commercial plumbing work is handled. The approach is identical whether the property is a family home or a business premises. Larger commercial jobs can be scheduled around your operating hours where possible.
Booking and Appointments
How do I book a plumber?
Use the contact form and describe the problem, when it started and which part of the property is affected. You will receive a reply with next steps and an appointment window. Photographs speed this up considerably.
Do you offer after-hours plumbing appointments?
Regular hours run Monday to Friday, and after-hours or overtime work can be arranged when a problem cannot safely wait. Say in your message that the situation is urgent so it is prioritised correctly. Active leaks and total loss of water are always treated as urgent.
How long will my plumbing appointment take?
Most single fixture repairs are completed within a couple of hours, including the diagnosis. Larger work such as a repipe or a sewer line replacement runs across one or more full days. You will be given a time estimate along with your price before any work starts.
What should I do before the plumber arrives?
Clear access to the affected area, such as emptying the cabinet under a sink or the space around a water heater. Avoid pouring chemical drain cleaners into a blocked drain, since they are hazardous to work around. If you know where your main shut-off valve is, point it out when your plumber arrives.
What happens if I need to reschedule?
Let us know as early as you can and the appointment will be moved to a time that suits you. Rescheduling is normal and does not affect any price you have already been quoted. Urgent jobs can usually be brought forward if a slot opens up.
Our Plumbing Services
What plumbing services do you offer?
The service list covers drain cleaning, sewer line inspection and replacement, water line replacement, slab leak repair, water heater repair and replacement, gas line work, whole home repiping and faucet repair. Both trenchless sewer replacement and camera inspections are available. You can see the full list on the services page.
How do I know whether to repair or replace?
That depends on the age and condition of the part in question and how often it has already failed. After the diagnosis you will hear both options explained, including the likely lifespan of a repair. The choice is yours to make with that information in front of you.
Can you find a leak without tearing up my floor?
In many cases yes, because leak location work and camera inspections narrow down the position before anything is opened up. That usually means a smaller access point and less reinstatement afterwards. Slab leaks are the most common example of this.
Do you replace sewer lines without digging a trench?
Trenchless sewer pipe replacement is available and often avoids digging up a driveway, lawn or patio. A camera inspection comes first so the condition and route of the line are known. You can read more on the sewer line page.
How much will my plumbing job cost?
Cost depends on the service, the access to the problem and what the inspection reveals. You receive a price for the agreed work before anything begins, so there are no surprises at the end. Anything that could change that price is flagged to you first.

Had a clogged kitchen sink emergency. Sal sent his guys Roger and Vincent out right away and they had my sink fixed in no time. They were very friendly and professional. Will be using Sal for all my plumbing needs.
I had a leaking water heater. I called Sal’s Plumbing Service in the morning. Sal came out about 1 pm and had my water heater replaced by about 3 pm. He did an excellent job at a fair price…
Sal responded with a quote and came out the next day to fix my water heater. I’d use him again!
The absolute best! We had to call a plumber after trying to fix an issue ourselves. He was on time, courteous and so helpful! We will continue to use him for all of our plumbing needs. Highly recommend.

Excellent service, shows up on time and gets the job done right! Fair prices too. Sal can handle any plumbing problem. Highly recommend.
My mom-in-law’s toilet was leaking and Sal was able to come out the next day to fix it. We live 2 1/2 hours away, so Sal communicated with us by phone/text to get it repaired. Highly recommend. Very professional and thorough…
