North Beach Plumbing & Sewer Services
Ace Plumbing and Rooter, Inc. is a licensed San Francisco plumbing and sewer contractor (CSLB #829071) serving North Beach homes, apartment buildings and restaurants seven days a week, 7 AM to 9 PM. For over 25 years, our technicians have handled everything from emergency leaks and drain cleaning to trenchless sewer line replacement and tankless water heater installation in San Francisco.
North Beach plumbing has a character all its own. Much of the neighborhood was rebuilt right after 1906, so many of its flats and apartment buildings still have aging cast-iron drains, clay sewer laterals and water heaters squeezed into tight basements and closets. Add the steep blocks of Telegraph Hill and the busy restaurant kitchens along Columbus and Grant Avenues, and you need a plumber who has seen it all. We start every sewer job with a video camera inspection, so you see exactly what’s happening before we recommend a fix. Whenever we can, we use trenchless methods, which replace the line without tearing up your sidewalk or blocking your storefront.
Maybe you own a home, manage one of North Beach’s many apartment buildings, or run a restaurant that can’t afford a backed-up grease line on a Friday night. Whichever it is, Ace is here for routine maintenance and urgent plumbing emergencies alike. Call us at (415) 824-6444.

faq: North Beach Plumbing
-
Does Ace offer emergency plumbing in North Beach?
Yes. Ace responds to plumbing emergencies throughout North Beach seven days a week. That includes sewer backups, burst pipes, overflowing toilets, water heater failures, basement flooding and suspected gas leaks. If a permanent fix can’t be finished the same day, we make a temporary but effective repair so your home or business stays up and running until the work is complete. Call (415) 824-6444.
-
How does Ace charge for plumbing work?
Ace charges by the job, not by the hour, so you know the cost before work begins. We offer free estimates on trenchless sewer replacement, tankless water heater installation and leak repairs. If a repair isn’t right, our technician stays until you’re satisfied, at no additional cost to you.
-
Can you replace a sewer line without digging up my sidewalk?
In many cases, yes. We start with a video camera inspection of the sewer line to find the exact problem. When the line qualifies, our trenchless sewer replacement limits damage to your property, sidewalk and landscaping. Not every sewer problem can be solved without digging. When excavation is needed, we keep it to only the areas required and can refer you to trusted concrete and landscaping restoration pros.
-
Why do older North Beach buildings have plumbing problems?
Much of North Beach was rebuilt right after the 1906 earthquake and fire, so many of the neighborhood’s flats and apartment buildings have plumbing systems that are a century old or more. Aging drain and sewer lines, original fixtures and water heaters tucked into tight spaces are all common. Ace works on historic buildings and new construction alike. Our technicians diagnose problems with camera inspections before recommending a repair.
-
Is a tankless water heater a good fit for a North Beach home or apartment?
Often, yes. A tankless water heater takes up far less space than a traditional tank, which helps in North Beach’s compact flats. It heats water on demand, so you won’t run out of hot water. Tankless systems cost more upfront, but they lower energy bills over time. Ace offers free estimates on tankless water heater installation.
-
Do you work with North Beach restaurants and apartment buildings?
Yes. Ace serves homeowners, property managers and HOAs, and many of the neighborhood’s restaurants. Our commercial plumbing services include drain and sewer cleaning, hydrojetting, water heaters, boilers, certified backflow testing and preventive maintenance plans. These help keep tenants comfortable and kitchens open.
-
Is Ace Plumbing and Rooter licensed?
Yes. Ace Plumbing and Rooter, Inc. holds a California Plumbing & General Engineering license (CSLB #829071). We have been a trusted San Francisco plumber since 2003. Our office is at 1090 Bryant Street, and we serve North Beach and neighborhoods across the city Monday through Sunday, 7 AM to 9 PM.
