Plumber in Elk Grove, CA
Hometown plumbing, water heater and drain service from a team based right here
Elk Grove is home for 2 Brothers Plumbing. Our shop is here, our trucks start their day here, and a lot of our customers are our neighbors. We have been in the trades since 1988, and we opened 2 Brothers Plumbing in December 2017 to give local homeowners a plumber who does it right the first time and sticks around afterward.
We work all over town: the Laguna neighborhoods west of Highway 99, the newer streets of East Franklin and Laguna Ridge, the older homes around Old Town Elk Grove, and the larger rural lots out in Sheldon, where many homes run on a private well and a septic tank. Each part of Elk Grove has its own plumbing habits. A 1990s Laguna home and a ranch property on a five-acre parcel don’t fail the same way, and we know the difference.
Whether it’s a water heater that quit on a weekday morning or a slow drain you’ve been ignoring, call us at (916) 997-6370 and talk to a local plumber, not a call center.

Plumbing services in Elk Grove
Most Elk Grove homes were built in the last few decades, so the big issues here aren’t usually crumbling pipes. They’re hard water, water heaters reaching the end of their life, busy family drains and the occasional slab leak. Out in Sheldon and along the rural edges of town, septic and well systems add their own needs. Our technicians see the same patterns house after house, which helps us spot trouble early and fix it for good. These are the services Elk Grove homeowners call us for most:
Water Heaters
Many Elk Grove subdivisions went up in waves, which means whole streets have water heaters aging out at once. We repair what’s worth repairing and, as a certified Navien and Bradford White installer, put in a new unit when it’s time to replace. Ask about water heater repair and replacement before yours starts leaking in the garage.
Tankless Water Heaters
Growing households in East Franklin and Laguna Ridge often run out of hot water. A tankless unit gives you a steady supply and frees up garage space.
Water Softeners
Hard water is common across the region. A water softener protects your water heater, fixtures and dishwasher from the white scale that builds up year after year, and it makes cleaning showers and glass doors a lot easier.
Drain Cleaning
Kitchen and bathroom drains in busy family homes clog with grease, hair and soap. We clear the line properly so it stays clear.
Leak Detection
Most Elk Grove homes sit on concrete slabs. If your water bill jumps or you feel a warm spot on the floor, we find the leak without tearing up the house.
Septic Services
Sheldon and other rural parts of Elk Grove rely on septic. We find the lid, pump the tank and repair or replace lines to the leach field. Our septic services cover upgrades and full replacements too.
Well Pump Repair
Low pressure or no water on a well property is an emergency. We troubleshoot the pump, pressure tank and controls and get your water back.
Gas Lines
Adding a gas range, outdoor kitchen or fire pit? Licensed plumbers install gas lines, and we also find and repair gas leaks.
Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes and overflowing toilets don’t keep office hours. We take emergency calls every day, Sundays included.
Our step-by-step process
Because we’re based in Elk Grove, our process here is simple and personal. You’re not booking a stranger from across the valley. You’re calling a local team that wants to keep you as a customer for years. Every step is built around one idea: you should know exactly what’s wrong, what it costs and what you’re getting before we touch a pipe. Here’s how a typical job goes, from your first call to the final check.
- 1
You call, we come out
Call us Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, or any day for an emergency. Tell us what’s going on, whether it’s a leaking water heater in a Laguna garage or a gurgling drain in an East Franklin kitchen. We set a time that works for you and send a technician to your home. Because we’re based in Elk Grove, we already know the neighborhoods, the way the subdivisions were plumbed and where the shutoffs usually hide.

A free estimate, on site
Our technician looks at the actual problem in your home before talking price. You get a real number for the real job, not a low teaser price that grows once we’re in the driveway. If you’re weighing a water heater replacement, we’ll explain your options, and you can read our guide on tank vs. tankless water heaters in the Sacramento area before you decide.
- 3
Your approval comes first
Nothing starts until you say yes. We walk you through what we found, what we recommend and why. If a simple repair will get you more good years, we tell you so. If replacement is the smarter spend, we explain what you gain. If a bigger project like a new water heater or septic repair makes sense, you can qualify for financing right from your estimate.
- 4
We do the repair
Our team does the work cleanly and carefully, with the parts and equipment the job calls for. We protect your floors, keep the work area tidy and keep you updated if anything changes. Most new installs carry a one-year warranty on leaks and labor.
- 5
We test everything
Before we call a job done, we test it. Our promise is that we do it right the first time, and testing is how we keep it. That means running hot water, checking pressure, running drains, checking for leaks and making sure gas connections are tight. If something isn’t right, we fix it before we leave.
- 6
We close you out
We go over what we did, answer your questions and give you tips to avoid the same problem down the road. If we spotted anything else worth watching, like an aging pressure regulator or a water heater nearing the end of its life, we let you know without pressure. Then we stay in touch. We build relationships here in Elk Grove; we’re not one and done.

Why We Love Working in Elk Grove, CA
Elk Grove isn’t just a place on our service map. It’s where we live and work, and there’s a lot to like about this town. A few of the places that make Elk Grove home for us:
- Old Town Elk Grove. The historic district along Elk Grove Boulevard is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, with buildings dating from the 1870s through the 1930s. Older buildings like these come with older plumbing, and we enjoy keeping them working.
- Elk Grove Regional Park. The big park on Elk Grove-Florin Road is where families head for softball, soccer and the swim center, and it hosts the Elk Grove Giant Pumpkin Festival each fall.
- Cosumnes River Preserve. Just south of town, this preserve covers tens of thousands of acres of wetlands, grasslands and valley oak forest. It’s a reminder that rural Elk Grove and the farmland beyond it are only minutes from the suburbs.
- Elk Grove Unified School District. The largest school district in Northern California serves Elk Grove and nearby communities. We’re proud to sponsor local high school programs in our area.
Elk Grove has grown fast, and that growth is part of why we love working here. In one day we might replace a water heater in a 1990s Laguna home, run a new gas line in a newer East Franklin build and pump a septic tank on a Sheldon property with horses out back. That variety keeps us sharp. It also means we understand how each part of town was built, which helps us diagnose problems faster and recommend fixes that fit. Being local matters when something goes wrong at the worst time, too. We’re close by, we know the roads and we take emergency calls every day, Sundays included.

Plumbing questions from Elk Grove
Is 2 Brothers Plumbing actually based in Elk Grove?
Yes. Elk Grove is our home base, and we’ve served the city since we opened in December 2017. From here we also cover Sacramento County and communities about 50 miles out, but Elk Grove homeowners are our neighbors.
Do you service septic systems in Sheldon and rural Elk Grove?
Yes. We find buried lids, pump tanks, repair lines to the leach field and handle upgrades and full replacements. Many rural Elk Grove properties also have private wells, and we repair well pumps and pressure tanks too.
Why does my Elk Grove water heater keep wearing out?
Hard water is usually part of the answer. Minerals settle in the bottom of a tank water heater, which makes it work harder and shortens its life. Flushing the tank, adding a water softener or switching to a tankless unit can all help. We’ll tell you which option makes sense for your home and budget, and we’ll never push equipment you don’t need.
Do you charge to come out and look at the problem?
No. We give free estimates on site. You get a real price for the job before any work starts, and nothing happens until you approve it. For larger jobs, you can also qualify for financing right from your estimate.
Can you help with a plumbing emergency on a Sunday?
Yes. Our regular hours are Monday through Saturday, 7am to 7pm, but we take emergency calls every day, Sundays included. If you have a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve and give us a call. In most Elk Grove homes the main shutoff is near the front of the house where the water line comes in from the street.
