Gabriel Vallejo
Gabriel Vallejo owns Phil Peterson Plumbing in La Mesa. He knows residential repair and remodel work best, from stubborn faucet stems to sewer and drain replacement, and he also takes commercial jobs around the San Diego area.
Gabriel gives the estimate before starting and explains what he found. He lays down protection in the work area and sweeps up before he leaves. If a job turns up something unexpected, he tells the customer first and lets them decide.
Plumbing for La Mesa Homes
Much of La Mesa’s housing went up in the middle of the last century, often on sloped lots, and many of those homes still have their original cast-iron drain lines and aging supply pipe. San Diego County’s hard water adds scale to fixtures and water heaters over the years. That shapes the work: freeing seized faucet stems, clearing and replacing old drains, swapping cast iron for ABS, replacing worn supply lines with a complete re-pipe, installing tank and tankless water heaters and water filters, and correcting thermal expansion in household water systems.
The work reaches across La Mesa and the San Diego area, including Grossmont, Mount Helix, the College Area, Lemon Grove, El Cajon and Spring Valley.
When to Call
Which jobs should I call a plumber for?
Anything on the water supply, the drains or the water heater that a simple fix has not solved. A plunger clears most single toilet clogs, and a new flapper stops most running toilets. Call when the same drain keeps clogging, when more than one fixture backs up, when you smell sewage, when a valve will not close, when the water heater leaks or runs cold, or when the water bill jumps for no reason.
Call right away for water spreading from a pipe, a ceiling that is wet or sagging, or sewage coming up a drain. Close the main shutoff first.
Do you handle remodel plumbing as well as repairs?
Yes. Repair and remodel work are both part of it: the fixtures and supply lines for kitchen and bath remodels, drain changes, sewer and drain replacement, cast iron swapped for ABS and complete re-pipes.
