About Plumbing Repair in Newport Beach
Plumbing repair covers fresh water systems, black and gray tank repair and replacement, water heaters, pumps, valves, and fixtures. OCRV Center pressure tests Newport Beach RV water systems to locate hidden leaks before they destroy subfloor and cabinetry.
RV plumbing carries a risk that house plumbing does not: everything runs inside a structure made of wood and laminate that has no drain and no way to dry out. A slow fitting leak under a shower pan will destroy a subfloor long before anybody notices water. That is why we pressure test rather than just tighten what is obviously wet, and why any plumbing job starts with finding out how long it has been leaking. We service fresh water systems, black and gray tanks, water heaters including Truma and AquaHot, pumps, valves, and fixtures for Newport Beach owners across RVs, campers, fifth wheels, and van conversions.
Problems We Solve
These are the situations Newport Beach owners bring us most often for this work. If yours is not listed, call and describe it. We would rather tell you it is outside our scope than take a job we are not the right shop for.
- Water pump cycling constantly, indicating a leak somewhere in the system
- No hot water or a water heater that will not fire on LP
- Black or gray tank valve that no longer seals
- Tank sensors reading incorrectly or always full
- Persistent odor from a waste system vent or seal
- Fixtures dripping or a shower pan cracked and leaking into the floor
Our Process
- Pressure test: The fresh water system is pressurized and monitored to locate leaks that are not visible.
- Moisture assessment: Adjacent floor and cabinetry are metered, because a slow leak has usually done damage before it was noticed.
- Component diagnosis: Pumps, valves, heaters, and tanks are tested individually rather than replaced by assumption.
- Repair and replacement: Lines, fittings, tanks, heaters, pumps, and fixtures repaired or replaced as scoped.
- Re test and sanitize: The system is re pressurized, tested, and the fresh water side sanitized before release.

Insurance Notes
A sudden line or fitting failure that flooded the vehicle is often covered. A slow drip that rotted the floor over two years generally is not. Metering establishes the timeline.
