Plumbing Repair
Brinks provides comprehensive plumbing repair for residential and commercial properties. Our certified technicians address leaks, clogs, and system failures using advanced diagnostics. Services include fixture installation, sewer line replacement, and emergency repairs, ensuring minimal disruption and long-term reliability for San Diego properties.
Leak Detection
Our leak detection service utilizes thermal imaging, electronic sensors, and color sewer cameras to pinpoint hidden leaks. Technicians perform pressure tests and moisture analysis to identify slab leaks, pipe corrosion, or water intrusion in walls and flooring across residential and commercial properties.
Repiping
Brinks specializes in full-system repiping using copper and Uponor PEX piping. We replace corroded or damaged pipes causing low pressure, leaks, or water quality issues. Our process includes drywall repair and restoration, with options for epoxy lining to extend pipe lifespan without complete replacement.
Pipelining
Our trenchless pipelining solutions use epoxy coatings and cured-in-place liners to repair damaged pipes without excavation. This method addresses cracks, leaks, and corrosion in sewer and water lines while preserving landscapes and structures across residential and commercial properties.
Emergency Plumbing
Brinks offers 24/7 emergency plumbing for urgent leaks, floods, and system failures. Our rapid response team uses water extraction equipment and immediate repairs to mitigate damage, with technicians available for after-hours service across San Diego County's residential and commercial properties.

Report
My wife and I hired Brinks to line our 60 year old decaying and cracked cast-iron sewer lines. Unlike the other quotes we received, they were able to offer us a suite of lining methods so that we would not have to dig into our slab in any areas of our home. This was big for us since we wanted to maintain the original finishes and flooring. The other quotes we received were A. more expensive and B. would require us to remodel portions of our bathroom, which we did not want to do. Overall we are happy with Brinks and their service.

I was very pleased with Brinks installing the 50 feet of lining in our sewer pipe that was necessary due to root intrusion. Bill was a pleasure to work with, as was Ryan in his accounting department. Tino, who was at my job site from the first camera work to the hydro-jetting to the installation of the re-lining was stellar. Very polite, always on time and answered all of my questions and concerns with patience and kindness. I would highly recommend!

Report
This job was a leak in a water main, with the line being under a long cement-slab driveway. They came out right away to assess the situation, and a few days later had a leak detection subcontractor attempt to source the leak. That done, it was several days to provide a pricey estimate. When I tried to get the quote broken down into parts, labor, and contingencies, I got nothing. What if the leak isn't where you think it is? 'All bets are off', he says. I went with them anyway because they had performed well on a much more expensive sewer job 2 years earlier. I would have

He was very professional and inquired in detail about the problem and what kind of water heater I had. He gave understanding and advised what to do. He, too, was ready to go down the same day. I am very grateful for his advice and experience and will use it in the future if necessary. I would not hesitate to recommend it to friends and family. Thanks again!
