What Pasadena Homeowners Call Us About

Most of our Pasadena plumbing calls fall into three kinds of jobs.

Repiping and Leak Repair

Many older Pasadena homes still run on galvanized supply pipe, which rusts from the inside and causes low pressure, brown water and pinhole leaks. We find the leak, repair it, or repipe the house in copper or PEX. Not sure whether a leak can wait? Our guide to the signs you need an emergency plumber spells it out.

Water Heater Service

Hard water shortens the life of a tank. We repair or replace tank and tankless water heaters, install the seismic straps California requires, and pull the City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division permit for the replacement.

Drains and Sewer Lines

Repeat clogs in older homes often come from scale in cast iron drains or roots in a clay sewer lateral. We camera the line, clear it with snaking or hydro jetting, and repair or replace the damaged section.

How It Works

Four simple steps from your first call to a finished, inspected job.

1. Call or Request a Quote

Call (323) 616-2829 or send the form. We ask a few questions and set a time to look at the job.

2. Written Price

A licensed plumber finds the cause and gives you the scope and the price in writing before anything starts.

3. Permit and Work

We pull the City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division permit when the job needs one and complete the work to the California Plumbing Code.

4. Inspection and Warranty

We meet the inspector on permitted work, test everything, and back the job with our 2-year labor warranty.

Pasadena Permits and Water

Pasadena homes get water from Pasadena Water and Power (PWP). It is hard enough to leave scale in water heaters, valves and fixtures. Plumbing permits come from the City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division.

Plumbing Permits

Water heater replacements, repipes, gas lines and sewer work need a City of Pasadena Building and Safety Division permit. We apply for it.

City Inspection

An inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.

Seismic Straps

California requires water heaters to be strapped. We install and inspect the straps on every heater we set.

Hard Water Protection

For homes with heavy scale, we can add a water softener or filtration to protect the heater and fixtures.

Albert and his whole team is tremendously great. They have done a few different projects for me which were big and small. Each time I have called them they have responded quickly and with more than fair pricing. From pulling electrical permits from the city to installing GFCI receptacles, Albert does it all.

I haven’t personally hired PowerRoute Electric for their services, but I’ve worked alongside them on several jobs over the past year and a half before it was out to the public. From what I’ve seen firsthand, they take their work seriously. They show up on time, communicate clearly, and put effort into getting the job done right. Their team is respectful and seems to care about doing things the right way, not just the fast way. They’re not perfect—no company is—but they’ve consistently shown up and done what they said they would, which goes a long way in this line of work. If you’re considering hiring them, based on what I’ve experienced working with them on-site, they’re reliable and professional. I’d trust them on a job of my own.

I shopped around for the best rate and service to install two generators. I found Powerroute Electric through a friend and have now referred them to 4 of our friends and neighbors. They are amazing and deliver great service and pricing.

Power Route was fast, efficient, organized and knowledgeable when working on solving my electrical issues. They went above and beyond by giving us a breakdown of what the cheaper option vs the best solution would look like in terms of cost and long term solution. Power Route was very transparent and delivered high quality work . Fixed our flickering lights, our overload issues, provided a water heater solution and installed 2 car chargers. Everything is working great and we have not had an issue. Would definitely recommend.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about plumbing in Pasadena.

Do I need a permit to replace a water heater in Pasadena?

Yes. A water heater replacement needs a City of Pasadena permit and inspection, and California requires seismic straps on the tank. We pull the permit and size the new heater to your household.

Should I replace the galvanized pipes in my older Pasadena home?

If you have low pressure, rusty water or repeated pinhole leaks, the galvanized pipe is likely near the end of its life. We inspect it and give you a written price to repipe in copper or PEX.

Do you install and repair gas lines?

Yes. We install and repair gas lines for water heaters, stoves, dryers and generators, and we respond to suspected gas leak calls.

Do you test backflow preventers?

Yes. We install backflow preventers and handle the required annual testing, which keeps contaminated water out of your drinking supply.

Why do my drains keep clogging?

In older homes, repeat clogs often come from scale inside cast iron drains or roots in a clay sewer lateral. We camera the line and clear it with snaking or hydro jetting.

Do you offer emergency plumbing in Pasadena?

Yes. Call us for burst pipes, major leaks or sewer backups and we will tell you when we can be there.

What areas near Pasadena do you serve?

All of Pasadena, plus Altadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, Arcadia, Glendale and Highland Park.
