Founded in 1954, RL Fick & Son Plumbing, Inc. operates a Lakeside branch on Channel Road, extending CSLB license #486824 (C-36 Plumbing) service into East County's residential and commercial corridors. Large-scale underground rough-in projects, including sewage ejector and storm-drain systems with subsurface sump pumps, put the firm on the same multi-trade job sites where Hi-Tech Air Conditioning, Inc runs mechanical ductwork from its Riverside Drive shop. The company's Santee headquarters coordinates a 20-to-50-person crew across San Diego, El Cajon, and La Mesa, dispatching plumbers to the Lakeside branch for Channel Road and surrounding neighborhoods near Lindo Lake County Park. Bathroom and kitchen remodels often sequence plumbing fixture sets ahead of the tile and hardwood installations that Christian Brothers Flooring & Interiors completes on Woodside Avenue. Multi-story commercial tenant improvements represent the highest-value scope, requiring vertical riser calculations, backflow preventer sizing per California Plumbing Code Title 24, and coordinated inspections with the County Department of Environmental Health.
