We do all of it, and we answer the phone at 2 a.m. When something goes wrong. With 13 years in the Sacramento area and 20 five-star Google reviews, we're the team Davis homeowners call when they're done guessing which plumber will actually show up.

Call (916) 706-7460 and we'll tell you exactly what you're looking at before we touch anything.

We run calls to Davis regularly from our Sacramento base. It's a straight shot down I-80 and we know the route well. Davis is UC Davis country, which means a lot of rental properties, older multi-unit buildings near campus, and residential stock that ranges from 1960s tract homes to newer infill construction west of downtown. Older homes in Davis frequently have galvanized steel supply lines that have spent 50-plus years rusting from the inside out, which is one of the more common calls we get from the area. Whether you're on Olive Drive, near the Mace Ranch neighborhood, or out by the Davis Ranch Shopping Center, we come to you. We also serve nearby Dixon and Elmira for homeowners on the Solano County side of the region.

What We Fix in Davis Davis

Full-service plumbing for Davis homes, rentals, and commercial properties.

01

Drain Cleaning

Slow drains and full blockages, we clear them with snaking or hydro jetting depending on what the line actually needs. Hydro-jetting is the right call for grease buildup and root intrusion in Davis's older sewer laterals.

02

Water Heater Repair

Tank or tankless, we repair and replace. Davis summers are brutal on water heaters that are already on their way out. If yours is making noise, running cold, or leaking from the base, don't wait. Call us. Water heater service is one of our highest-volume calls for a reason.

03

Sewer Line Services

Trenchless sewer line repair means we can fix a collapsed or root-invaded lateral without digging up your entire yard. For Davis homeowners with mature trees near their sewer line, this is worth knowing before something backs up.

04

Re-Piping

A lot of Davis homes built before 1980 still have galvanized steel supply lines. Once those pipes start corroding, the problem is inside the pipe where you can't see it. Low pressure and discolored water are the giveaway. We handle full and partial re-piping in copper.

05

Leak Detection

If your water bill jumped and nothing visible is leaking, the problem is usually in the wall or under the slab. We locate it without tearing the house apart first.

06

Emergency Plumbing

Burst pipe, sewage backup, or flooding at midnight, we take emergency calls around the clock. When we say 24/7, we mean someone answers the phone, not a voicemail system.

Davis Housing Stock

Why Older Davis Homes Need Attention Older Davis

A big portion of Davis's residential housing was built between 1950 and 1985. Those homes have plumbing infrastructure that's now 40 to 70 years old. Galvanized steel pipes corrode from the inside, and by the time you notice reduced water pressure or rust-colored water from your tap, the pipe walls may already be compromised. Campus-adjacent rental properties often have deferred maintenance that the current owner didn't know about. We've re-piped homes near Russell Boulevard and replaced failing sewer laterals in neighborhoods close to Community Park where tree roots have had decades to find their way in. If you bought an older Davis home and haven't had the plumbing assessed, it's worth a call before a small problem turns into a flooded wall. We're not going to upsell you on a full re-pipe if a repair is the right answer, but we'll tell you what we actually see.

Certified Plumbing and Drain (CP&D) replaced my hot water heater the same day I was in contact with them. I was extremely happy and satisfied with their professional and prompt service! They arrived when they said they would, and they were quite friendly and great to work with! They included me with every decision and showed me exactly what they were doing each step of the way. Within a few hours, my old water heater was gone, and my new one was working perfectly! Finally, the PRICE was surprisingly much much lower than the OTHER guys! Thank you, CP&D! You are the BEST!

Davis Plumbing Problems Don't Wait

Neither do we.

Frequently asked questions

Do you actually come out to Davis, or is it outside your service area?
We come to Davis regularly. It's a straightforward run from Sacramento down I-80, and we do jobs throughout Davis and the broader Yolo County corridor including Dixon and Woodland. When you call, tell us your address and we'll confirm availability, in most cases we can get someone out the same day.
My Davis home was built in the 1960s. How do I know if the pipes need replacing?
Homes from that era almost always have galvanized steel supply lines, and after 60 years those pipes corrode from the inside. Warning signs include low water pressure at fixtures, rust-colored or brown water from the tap, visible corrosion at exposed fittings, or a pinhole leak that's the first of several. A pressure test and visual inspection will tell us what's actually going on. We'll give you an honest read rather than pushing you toward a full re-pipe if a repair is the right call.
Is trenchless sewer repair an option for Davis properties with mature trees?
Yes, and it's often the best option. Davis has a lot of older neighborhoods where large shade trees have had decades to grow roots into clay or cast-iron sewer laterals. Trenchless repair lets us fix or line the pipe from access points at each end, which means your landscaping stays intact. It's worth asking about this specifically if you've had recurring sewer backups, because snaking a root-infiltrated line just buys you a few months before the problem returns.
I rent a unit near UC Davis campus and the landlord isn't responding. Can you help?
We can assess the problem and tell you what's causing it. As a tenant, you'll want to document what's happening and when you reported it to your landlord. For an active leak or sewage backup, those are habitability issues under California law that require the landlord to act. If the situation is urgent, call (916) 706-7460 and we can at least diagnose what you're dealing with so you have specifics when you need them.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency in Davis?
We answer emergency calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Travel time from Sacramento to Davis is typically 20 to 35 minutes depending on traffic and time of day. For an active burst pipe, flooding, or sewage backup, shut off the main water supply if you can and call immediately. The sooner we know, the less damage you're looking at by the time we arrive.
What does a water heater replacement cost in Davis?
The cost depends on the type of unit (tank or tankless), the size, fuel source, and what the installation actually involves at your specific location. Tankless units cost more upfront but have lower operating costs over time. We give you the full number before any work begins. Every job is different. Contact Certified Plumbing & Drain for an accurate estimate.
Do you handle plumbing for Davis rental properties and small commercial buildings?
We handle both residential and commercial work. Davis has a significant rental market, and we work with property owners and managers who need reliable, fast turnaround when a unit has a plumbing issue. We're also set up for small commercial buildings. Call (916) 706-7460 and describe what you're managing. We'll tell you if it's in our scope.
