Cassidy has helped me with 2 projects so far and has done amazing work ! Definitely recommend and will continue using his services !
Cassidy has done a few jobs for me including a whole house re-pipe and a new water heater. He was awesome to work with. He shows up on time, does great work and is very thorough. He explained everything before the job and completed the work on time. I highly recommend Cassidy for any plumbing job.
Cassidy showed up when he said he would! That's big for me! He explained what he was going to do, gave me an estimate, did what he said and my new faucet looks amazing! Thank you Cassidy! I recommend this plumber!
I highly recommend Awesome Possum Plumbing! Cassidy did an amazing job replacing my broken kitchen faucet. He responded quickly, was professional, friendly, and made the entire process stress-free. The quality of his work was excellent, and it's clear he takes pride in what he does. If you're looking for a reliable plumber with great customer service, I definitely recommend Awesome Possum Plumbing!
Thanks to Cassidy at awesome possum
He was punctual, knowledgeable, reasonable in pricing and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.
I had a fantastic experience with Awesome Possum Plumbing and couldn’t be happier with the service. He installed a water filtration system for my refrigerator, replaced and installed my new bathroom sink, and fixed my garbage disposal. I didn’t even realize the disposal wasn’t working properly—I just thought it was a terrible garbage disposal! He quickly found the problem and had it working like new.
I also had him check out another plumbing concern, and instead of recommending unnecessary repairs, he was honest and let me know everything was working properly. That kind of honesty and integrity is hard to find these days.
Awesome Possum Plumbing is a family-owned business, and it really shows in the quality of the work and the care he puts into every job. He was professional, knowledgeable, efficient, and made sure everything was done right. I highly recommend Awesome Possum Plumbing to anyone looking for trustworthy, high-quality plumbing services. I’ll definitely be calling him again for any future plumbing needs!

What We Do
Plumbing Services Built Around Your Home
Here is what homeowners around Lake Elsinore call us for most. Every job gets a price you approve before we start.
Water Heater Installation & Replacement
When the water heater quits, you want hot water back today. We replace tank and tankless water heaters, often the same day, with the gas line, venting, expansion tank and earthquake straps done to California code. You get one price for the whole job before we start. See our water heater installation and replacement options.
Whole House Re-Pipe
Rusty water, weak pressure and pinhole leaks that keep coming back usually mean the supply lines are worn out. A re-pipe replaces them with copper or PEX, with small access cuts planned ahead of time. Cassidy walks the house with you and gives you a flat price before anything opens up. Here is how a whole house re-pipe in Lake Elsinore works.
Slab Leak Detection & Repair
A warm spot on the floor or a water bill that jumps for no reason can mean a leak under the slab. We find it with electronic and acoustic equipment before cutting anything, then lay out a spot repair, a reroute or a re-pipe with prices for each. Read about finding and fixing slab leaks.
More Ways We Help
Drain and Sewer Service
Slow drains, gurgling toilets or a sewer smell in the house? We clear the line with a drain machine or hydro jetter and run a camera when we need to see what caused it. Hard water helps grease and soap stick to the pipe, so lines around Lake Elsinore tend to clog again. See our drain cleaning and sewer service around the lake.
Bathroom Remodel Plumbing
Planning a new bathroom, or dealing with a shower pan that leaks into the next room? We handle the plumbing side of remodels: moving drains, new shower valves and pans, toilets, sinks and faucets. Tile and cabinets go to other trades, and we work around them. Here is how our plumbing for bathroom remodels works.
Gas Line Repair
Smell gas? Get out of the house and call SoCalGas first. Once it is safe, we find the leak at the fitting, valve or appliance connector, repair it and pressure test the line before the gas goes back on. Read about repairing gas leaks in your home.
Septic System Service
Still on septic in Wildomar, Lakeland Village or Quail Valley? We clear drains inside septic homes and connect houses to sewer when a line reaches the street. If EVMWD’s program already covers your hookup, we will tell you. Learn about septic homes and sewer hookups.
We also handle 24/7 emergency plumbing calls, garbage disposal repair and replacement, whole house water filtration, water softener installation for our hard water, and reverse osmosis drinking water systems.
Our Specialty
Cold Showers? We’ll Have Hot Water Flowing Again Today.
