4G’s solution strategies
We are committed to solving plumbing problems as quickly as possible. Our licensed plumbers are able to offer a full range of quality plumbing services due to training, experience, and extensive knowledge. We arrive at each appointment in our fully-stocked service trucks ready to get to work. We stock the trucks with the tools, parts, equipment, and even cleaning supplies, arriving as scheduled, and clean up when we are done.
We know there is a solution to every plumbing problem, and practice our five step plumbing protocol for every job. The five steps are:
- Inspection—We use advanced equipment to inspect drains and pipes to locate clogs or leaks. Tools and equipment such as sewer cameras and location detectors help us quickly locate and identify problems.
- Discuss your options—Our trucks are stocked with fixtures and parts, so we can quickly replace broken faucets, drains, and other plumbing components. We use advanced plumber’s snakes with blades to remove clogs, including roots that have invaded pipes. We can install new water heaters (tankless and traditional), new garbage disposals, and other fixtures, or make repairs when possible.
- Give you a quote for the job—Before starting work, we discuss your options with you and give you a quote for the option you choose.
- Remedy, repair, or replace—We can make most repairs and replacements at the time of the appointment. If we don’t have what you need on the truck, we get it and replace it as soon as possible. We also clean up when the job is done, leaving your home or business clean and tidy.
- Follow up—We keep in touch with you to make sure you are satisfied.

Common FAQs
The most common reason for clogs is simply things being put down the drains that don’t belong there. This includes bathrooms and utility sinks in laundry rooms. Here’s a list of common causes of kitchen sink clogs:
- Overloading the garbage disposal—small amounts of food go into the garbage disposal at a time, so the disposal can do its work and completely grind the items.
- Putting the wrong items in the disposal—chicken bones, leftover meat, coffee grounds, egg shells, onion skins, corn husks (especially dried husks), and some fruit or vegetable skins can cause clogs.
- Pouring oil or grease down the sink drain—grease sticks to the sides of the drain pipe and eventually builds up to cause slow draining or completely clog the pipe. Even if you don’t regularly pour grease down the drain (or flush it down the toilet), not wiping excess grease and oil out of dishes, pots, and pans before washing can contribute to grease buildup.
- Rinsing food and other particles down the sink, including hair—using a drain strainer helps avoid things going down the drain that don’t belong there.
- Soap scum combined with mineral deposits from hard water can build up in drains, causing slow or no draining—keeping drains clean and clear of debris helps prevent mineral buildup.
Our drain cleaning services include advice on how to avoid future clogs.
Water suddenly pouring from pipes inside or outside the building, puddles where they shouldn’t be, toilets backing up sewage into the bathroom, several drains or toilets bubbling or backing up at once, mean there is a serious problem that needs immediate attention.
- Sewage backing up is a health concern.
- Broken pipes that are leaking or spraying water need rapid attention.
- Water puddling in the kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room floor means there is a serious leak.
- Water flowing anywhere it doesn’t belong can lead to water damage, mold, and mildew, and in the case of leaking sewage, it is a serious health threat.
- Gas leaks are serious warnings of problems in the gas lines or gas-powered appliances.
In a plumbing emergency, get everyone, including pets, away from the water, especially if it’s sewage. Shut off the main water valve and call the plumber. If there are a lot of water puddles or water seeping into adjoining rooms, shut off the electricity to the building. Water and electricity do not mix. The combination can cause shock, electrocution, or fire.
If the problem originates from the public system, call your municipal services emergency number.
The best way to save money on plumbing services is to take care of your plumbing.
- Regular inspections identify potential problems that can be remedied before they get worse, and reduce the chances of expensive repairs or replacements.
- Fix leaks as soon as you see them. This includes dripping faucets, toilets that run continually, leaking appliances, and leaking pipes.
- Keep drains clean. Be careful what goes down the drain or is flushed down the toilet. Use strainers in sinks and tubs to catch debris and hair. Don’t pour grease and oil down the sink or flush it down the toilet.
- Weigh the annual cost of home warranty insurance against the cost of plumbing repairs and replacements. We don’t recommend a specific company, but we do recommend that you research the various companies and premiums.
- Work with a plumber who gives you an accurate quote, guarantees their work, and has a top-rated local reputation. 4G’s plumbing expertise, serving the community since 2014, and five star Yelp ranking makes our Atascadero plumbers among the top local services.
Everything wears out at some point, including plumbing. Plumbing expenses may not be completely avoided. Making these preventative steps to reduce the risk of expensive plumbing repairs part of the household or workplace routine are the best path to budget-wise plumbing.
We provided detailed information to help homeowners maintain their plumbing in good working order.
We don’t provide instructions for homeowners to make their own repairs. While there are many homeowners who are quite knowledgeable and skilled enough to do their own repairs, not everyone is interested, or has the time for DIY plumbing. Not doing a plumbing install or repair correctly can create more serious problems. There’s a good chance that insurance claims for repairs resulting from DIY plumbing will be denied. Improperly completed plumbing jobs wind up costing more than having the work done correctly in the first place.
We believe we would be doing our clients an economic injustice by providing DIY instructions.
If the remodel involves plumbing, yes. This includes installing or relocating a new refrigerator with an ice maker or water dispenser, a new gas stove, sinks, and dishwasher. Basically, anything that has to do with water or gas lines needs a plumber.
At 4G’s Plumbing, we have extensive experience with plumbing for remodels and new construction. We are familiar with all of the local regulations, have worked closely with local code inspectors since 2014.
We stay abreast of what local plumbers are charging and make every effort to be competitive and fair to our customers. Our company also accepts major credit cards and has discount programs for senior citizens and the military.
