Thomas is the lead tech at Pipe Dream Plumbing and has spent over 20 years in the plumbing trade. He works across San Diego County, the Temecula Valley and the Inland Empire, and he writes the guides on this site to answer the questions customers ask on the phone every week.
What does Thomas work on?
Most of his work falls into three areas: installing and servicing water heaters, clearing and repairing drain lines, and whole-home water treatment. Those are also the jobs where hard water does the most damage in Southern California, which is why so many of his articles come back to scale, sediment and what to do about it.
The rest of the work runs the full range of a plumbing company: leaks, fixtures, sewer lines, repiping and the everyday repairs in between. The services page lists everything Pipe Dream Plumbing does.
How does Thomas approach a job?
The same way every time. You get a flat, written price before any work starts, and nothing is added after you approve it. If something changes the job, like damage behind a wall, you hear about it and approve it in writing first. The work is guaranteed, and a real person answers every call, 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, 7 days a week.
He would rather tell you a part is fine to leave alone than sell you a replacement you do not need. The details are on how our pricing and guarantee work.
