Fountain Valley Plumber Answering 24/7 Since 1985
By William “Jay” Horsky Jr., Owner, Professional Plumbing, Inc. · Published June 25, 2026 · Updated June 25, 2026
It is 6 a.m., you step into the kitchen for coffee, and the floor by the sink is wet, which is exactly when you need a Fountain Valley plumber who answers the phone and shows up. Professional Plumbing has been that local company since 1985, handling 24/7 emergencies, water heaters, slab leaks, and drains. Most of the city was built in the 1960s and runs on very hard water near 15 grains per gallon, so a fixture swap here is often more than the fixture.
The Fountain Valley plumbing story
- Most of the city went up as 1960s slab tracts, so a Fountain Valley plumber expects decades-old shut-off valves hiding behind the fixtures.
- Very hard water near 15 grains per gallon chews through cartridges and seals quickly.
- A small fixture job here frequently means replacing the seized valve behind it too, and we come prepared for that.
- A real person answers any hour for emergencies, water heaters, slab leaks, and drains.
Why Fountain Valley homeowners call us first
Fountain Valley homes mostly date to the 1960s, and the original shut-off valves behind the fixtures are decades old. Pair that with very hard water near 15 grains per gallon, which wears cartridges and seals fast, and a small job often means replacing the seized valve behind it too. We come prepared for that, not surprised by it.

A recent Fountain Valley job
Recently, a homeowner on the west side of Fountain Valley called about a brown stain spreading across the kitchen ceiling. The drain line for the bathroom above had been weeping into the ceiling cavity for weeks. The technician opened the ceiling, protected the kitchen with plastic and drop cloths, replaced the failed section of sewer line, and tested the full run before closing it back up. The stain had a cause, and the cause is gone.
What to do in a plumbing emergency
At 6 a.m. or midnight, the first move is the same, stop the water.
- Shut the main, usually at the meter near the street or where the line enters the garage.
- For a heater leak, close the cold inlet valve on top of the tank.
- Open a low faucet to drain the pressure.
- Call us at (714) 964-3519, any hour.

Fountain Valley plumber FAQ
Do you really answer 24/7 in Fountain Valley?
We do answer 24/7 in Fountain Valley. You reach a real person any hour, and the typical response across the city is one to two hours.
Why does a simple fixture swap take longer on my 1960s home?
The original angle stop behind the fixture is often decades old and scaled shut, so we replace it as part of the job to give you a working local shutoff.
Do you specialize in slab leaks here?
We do specialize in slab leaks here, especially around Green Valley and Greenbrook, where the slab homes are. We locate the leak and repair or reroute the line.

Fountain Valley water is near 15 grains per gallon, in the very hard range, which wears cartridges and seals and shortens heater life.

“Chris was absolutely amazing. Incredibly professional, efficient, and overall a wonderful person. Will gladly hire him again. The price appears high but it was actually exceptionally reasonable. Not only did he install a new garbage disposal, but he also unclogged two toilets. He provided tremendous service at a very reasonable rate.”
