Downtown, the college and the river: where Reedley's plumbing calls come from
Reedley grew around its downtown on 10th Street, where the city's Opera House at 1710 10th Street and the Reedley Museum at 1752 10th Street sit among older storefronts. Buildings that old carry old drain lines and supply pipe. A restaurant or shop downtown that has never had its line scoped is a candidate for a camera visit.
The city also has a wide residential spread, with Reedley College at 995 North Reed Avenue to the north and the Reedley Community Parkway crossing Manning and Reed Avenues. The Kings River runs along the edge of town, and the city's wastewater plant at 1295 West Olson sits on the river's west bank. The 2020 Census counted 25,227 residents.
Emergency dispatch around the clock
A licensed plumber is sent day or night to Reedley homes and businesses. Same-day visits are available when schedules allow.
Downtown buildings
Older commercial plumbing near 10th Street gets camera checks and drain work. See commercial plumbing.
Homes near the college and parkway
Single-family homes of many ages. We match the service to the pipe and the problem.
Homes of every age
Reedley's homes span many decades, so the plumber checks pipe age and material before recommending a fix.
What Reedley's water means for your pipes
The City of Reedley runs its own groundwater system with wells numbered 5, 6, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14. Its 2025 water quality report lists hardness averaging 93 ppm, with results from 26 to 160. That is moderately hard water, softer than Sanger's. The report also shows treatment in place for 1,2,3-trichloropropane, a groundwater contaminant that Reedley's wells have to treat.
For plumbing, moderate hardness still builds scale in water heaters over time. A yearly flush keeps a tank healthy. If you want your own number, test a cup of tap water, and ask the city's water division for the latest report.
Which services Reedley calls for first
Drain and sewer calls lead the list for most towns, and Reedley is no exception. A slow main line points to drain cleaning or sewer line cleaning, and a line that backs up repeatedly needs a sewer camera inspection.
Water heater failures follow close behind. When a tank leaks, emergency water heater replacement gets hot water back the same day when available. Hidden leaks and high bills go to leak detection.
| Reedley situation | Start with | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Whole house draining slowly | Sewer line cleaning | The blockage is in the main line |
| Water at the base of the heater | Water heater replacement | A leaking tank cannot be patched |
| Bill jumped, meter moving | Leak detection | Water is leaving the system |
| Older downtown building backs up | Camera inspection | See the pipe before you pay for repairs |

Close the main water valve, usually near the meter or where the line enters the house. Open a faucet at the lowest point to drain the pressure.
Keep power away from water
Stay clear of outlets and appliances in the wet area. Switch breakers off only if the panel is dry.
Clear the area
Move rugs, boxes and electronics out of the way and photograph the damage for your insurer.
