Water Heater Repair in Yucaipa: what actually fails
$140 to $650. Cold waits until morning and costs less then; leaking does not wait. In housing of this age the heater has usually been replaced two or three times, so its own age tells you more than the house's does.

From first call to finished: Yucaipa
Stopping the damage is free, and we will talk you through it whether or not you book anything.
Ring, and stop the water first
Before anything else and before any money changes hands. The main shut-off, the lowest cold tap, and the electricity if water has reached it. That conversation is free whether or not you book anything.
We work out whose problem it is
Street side of the meter is the water utility's, free. A blockage in the public sewer is the city's. Both get eliminated before anybody quotes you for private work.
Then what you could do yourself
If it is a trap, a flapper or a supply line, we will say so and tell you what to buy. If it needs a permit or it is on the gas side, we will say that too, and mean it.
And only then, what it costs
The call-out and the hourly separately, with standard hours offered wherever it is safe to wait. The permanent repair quoted apart from the emergency one, because they are different jobs.

Water Heater Repair in Yucaipa: straight answers
No hot water — does that need tonight?
Usually not. Cold is a next-day job and costs less then. Leaking is different, because a tank that has started weeping is failing and the failure mode is the whole contents on your floor.
Can I replace it myself?
No — not lawfully. Water heater replacement is permitted work in California whatever your skill level, and on a manufactured home it must be a unit approved for that construction. This is one of the places the honest answer is a flat no.
Can a toilet be vented with a 2 inch pipe?
Under the California Plumbing Code a water closet is 3 drainage fixture units and a 2-inch vent is generally adequate for a single one, which is why 2-inch is what you will usually see. What decides it is not the fixture in isolation but the total fixture units carried and the developed length of the vent run, and both grow quickly once a vent serves more than one fixture. The practical answer for a homeowner: if you are replacing like for like, the existing vent is almost certainly fine. If you are adding a fixture or moving one, that is permitted work and the sizing is the plan checker's question rather than a rule of thumb from a website.
How much should a plumber charge to replace a toilet?
Around $200 to $500 here for the labor on a straight like-for-like swap, plus the pan itself. It is also genuinely within reach of a confident homeowner on their own home: the job is a wax or rubber seal, two closet bolts and a supply line, and the tools are a wrench and a sponge. Two things that turn it into a real job: a flange that has corroded or sits below the finished floor, which needs repairing properly rather than packing with extra seals, and any sign of soft floor around the base, which means water has been getting out for a long time and the subfloor is the actual problem.
