Poway Plumbing Company
Plumbing Plus Proudly Serving Poway Since 1984
Welcome to Plumbing Plus - Your Trusted Plumbing and Drain Professionals in Poway, CA
At Plumbing Plus, our story begins right here in Poway, California, where we've been proudly serving the community for over 40 years. Founded in 1984 by Joe Christenson, our company began as a local plumbing shop—originally called Plumbco—specializing in high-quality plumbing fixtures and supplies. But Joe saw a greater need: expert, trustworthy plumbing services delivered with care and precision. So, Plumbco evolved from a parts shop into a full-service residential plumbing company.
By 1986, Joe earned his California plumber’s license, and just two years later, secured a general contractor’s license—allowing Plumbing Plus to offer a broader range of home plumbing and remodeling services across Poway and San Diego County. In 1989, the name officially changed to Plumbing Plus, Inc., and our fleet of red, white, and blue trucks became a recognizable symbol of reliable service in the community.
Our legacy is deeply tied to Poway. It’s where we trained, grew, and built a reputation for honest work, prompt service, and customer-first values. Many of our first customers are still with us today—proof that local plumbing expertise and great service never go out of style.
In 2001, a young Poway local, Michael De Silva, started as a shop helper. Through grit and hard work, he rose to lead technician and eventually co-owner. In 2010, Joe passed the torch to Michael and his wife, Rachael De Silva, ushering in a new generation of leadership—rooted in tradition, inspired by innovation, and fueled by a passion for helping homeowners across Poway and surrounding areas.
Today, Plumbing Plus is still family-owned and operated, offering everything from emergency plumbing and water heater repairs to whole-home re-pipes and water filtration systems. We’re proud to carry on Joe’s legacy—serving Poway with the same values he built this business on: Integrity, Craftsmanship, and Community Loyalty.

When plumbing issues arise, the stakes are higher than most realize.
Escalating Damage: Putting off a response, even by hours, can lead to significant water damage. Issues start small but can quickly worsen, escalating into large-scale property damage.
Increased Repair Costs: The longer the delay, the more extensive and costly the repairs become. A minor leak today could turn into a burst pipe tomorrow, resulting in expensive restoration projects.
Mold Growth: Water can seep into walls and floors, creating a perfect environment for mold. Health risks associated with mold include allergies and respiratory issues, turning a plumbing problem into a health hazard.
Structural Integrity: Persistent water exposure can weaken the structural integrity of your home. Floorboards, ceilings, and walls may become compromised, posing safety risks.
Higher Utility Bills: Leaks waste water, which translates to higher utility bills. This excessive waste not only impacts your wallet but also stresses environmental resources.
Act promptly when faced with plumbing issues, prioritizing swift action to safeguard both your home and your health.

Effective DIY Solutions for Eliminating Smelly Drains in Bathrooms, Showers, and Kitchens
Effective Solutions for Eliminating Smelly Drains in Bathrooms, Showers, and Kitchens
An unpleasant odor coming from drains can disrupt the comfort of your home. Here's how you can tackle this common issue effectively:
1. Regular Cleaning Routine
-
Baking Soda and Vinegar: Pour half a cup of baking soda followed by half a cup of white vinegar down the drain. Allow the mixture to fizz for about 15 minutes before flushing it with boiling water. This natural solution helps break down buildup and neutralizes odors.
-
Boiling Water Flush: For an easy fix, pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain once a week. This method helps dissolve any grease or soap residue that might be causing the smell.
2. Physical Removal
-
Plunger: Use a plunger to dislodge debris that might be trapped in your drain. This can help improve water flow and eradicate odor-causing blockages.
-
Drain Snake: For more stubborn clogs, a drain snake can reach deep into pipes to remove hair, soap scum, and other debris lurking below.
3. Use of Enzymatic Cleaners
- Enzyme-Based Drain Cleaners: These cleaners use natural bacteria to break down organic matter. They are effective in reducing odors while being environmentally friendly.
4. Regular Maintenance
-
Drain Covers: Install mesh drain covers to catch hair and larger debris before they enter the drain. This preventive measure reduces the likelihood of clogs and the ensuing smells.
-
Monthly Checks: Perform monthly inspections of your pipes and drains for any signs of blockage or slow drainage. Early detection can prevent more significant issues.
Implementing these strategies can keep your drains odor-free and your home environment fresh. With a little maintenance and some simple home remedies, smelly drains can become a thing of the past.
