Building-wide assessment, capital planning documentation, and full-scope plumbing service for HOA-managed properties and apartment complexes.

Multi-Family Plumbing Is Not Residential Plumbing at Scale.
A 60-unit apartment complex built in 1972 has shared cast iron sewer lines, galvanized supply risers, central water heating, and common-area backflow devices — all on infrastructure that's approaching or past its design lifespan. The plumbing decisions your board makes today are capital decisions, not maintenance calls.
We've been the plumbing contractor for multi-family properties across Southern California for 29 years. We understand the difference between common-area scope and unit-owner responsibility. We produce documentation your board can present at meetings, your reserve study consultant can reference, and your insurance carrier can file.
One contractor for the assessment, the plan, and the work. No handoffs.
Camera surveys document system-wide pipe condition — the data your board needs to plan capital improvements.

From a Single Unit Repair to a Building-Wide Repipe.
Multi-family properties touch every plumbing discipline. Aging infrastructure, shared systems, and board oversight mean you need a contractor who handles the full scope — and documents every step.
Camera Survey & Assessment
Building-wide sewer camera inspection to document pipe condition, identify failures, and produce reports your board and reserve consultant can use for capital planning.
Leak Detection & Repipe
Electronic leak detection, supply line repair, and full building repipe for aging galvanized systems. We assess whether spot repairs or full replacement is more cost-effective over your planning horizon.
Drain & Sewer Cleaning
Common-area mainlines, building laterals, and unit connections. Hydro-jetting for grease and scale buildup in aging cast iron lines. Camera verification after every clearing.
Water Heater Service
Central boiler systems, individual unit water heaters, and recirculation infrastructure. Repair, replacement, and maintenance programs for buildings with dozens or hundreds of units.
Backflow Testing
Annual compliance testing for irrigation cross-connections, fire suppression systems, and domestic supply devices. We schedule, test, file with the county, and notify you when renewal is due.
Emergency Response
Mainline backups, supply line breaks, unit flooding, and common-area failures. 24/7 dispatch with a 2-hour P1 response target. We isolate, repair, and document for your insurance file.
Every Type of Multi-Family & HOA Property.
HOA-Governed Condominiums
Common-area plumbing scope, unit-owner distinction documentation, and board-presentable capital reports for planned improvements and reserve studies.
Apartment Complexes
Older multi-family buildings with aging cast iron sewer and galvanized supply requiring systematic assessment, maintenance programs, and documented repipe planning.
Townhome & Mixed-Use Communities
Multi-building communities with individual unit connections, shared mainlines, and common-area backflow devices requiring coordinated service across multiple structures.
Community Associations
Professional managers and self-managed associations needing a single plumbing vendor with structured reporting, capital planning support, and SLA-based emergency dispatch.
The Aging Infrastructure Problem.
Cast Iron Sewer Lines (1950s–1980s)
Most multi-family buildings from this era have cast iron drain and sewer lines. After 40–60 years, graphitic corrosion weakens the pipe from the inside without visible warning. A camera survey is the only way to assess the true condition before it fails.
Galvanized Supply Lines
Galvanized steel water supply risers corrode internally over decades, restricting flow, lowering pressure, and producing discolored water. Recurring leaks in different units are the clearest symptom that the system — not just the fitting — is failing.
Spot Repair vs. Full Replacement
We assess the building system as a whole and give your board a clear comparison: continued spot repairs with projected annual cost, versus a phased or full replacement with a defined timeline. Data, not guesswork.
Capital Planning Documentation
Camera footage, written condition reports, cost projections, and phased replacement timelines. Everything your reserve study consultant and insurance carrier need to see — in a format your board can present at the next meeting.
Documentation & Scope Clarity
Scope of Responsibility
Building laterals, shared mainlines, central water heaters, common-area fixtures, irrigation backflow, and fire suppression systems.
Individual unit fixtures, supply line branches from the riser, and in-unit water heaters where applicable.
Sewer risers, supply risers, and horizontal mains that serve multiple units. Often the most expensive category — and the one most likely to require board approval and reserve funding.
We define the scope before we start. Every proposal identifies what falls under HOA responsibility and what doesn't. No ambiguity, no surprise invoices.
What We Deliver to the Board
Written assessment with camera footage, pipe condition rating, failure locations, and recommendations. Board-ready format.
Repair vs. replacement comparison with projected annual maintenance cost, full replacement cost, and phased timeline options.
Multi-year capital plans that break a large-scale repipe into budget cycles your reserve fund can absorb. Prioritized by condition severity.
Before/after photos, field reports, and scope summaries formatted for carrier submission. Documented response timelines for emergency claims.
Need a Building-Wide Assessment?
A camera survey of your building's sewer system or a supply line assessment gives your board the data to make capital decisions — not guesses. We'll scope the assessment and provide a written proposal.
The Contractor HOA Boards and Property Managers Trust.
Our HOA board was debating a full sewer repipe — a seven-figure project. California Coast Plumbers did a complete camera survey and documented which sections were failing and which had years of life left. The report let us phase the replacement over three budget cycles instead of approving the full project at once. The data made the decision.
HOA Board President • Multi-Family Complex, Riverside County
We manage an apartment complex with 1970s galvanized supply lines. Leak after leak, tenant after tenant. CCP did a full assessment and gave us a clear comparison — continued spot repairs versus a full repipe with a 10-year cost projection. We went with the repipe. They handled the whole project, permits, tenant scheduling, everything. No more monthly leak calls.
Property Manager • Multi-Family Portfolio, Orange County
What matters to our board is documentation. When we present a plumbing expenditure, we need to show the condition data, the options, and the cost comparison. California Coast Plumbers delivers reports our reserve consultant can plug directly into the study. That's not something we've gotten from other plumbing contractors.
Community Association Manager • 120-Unit HOA, Laguna Hills
