Popular Projects
Most of our Glendale plumbing calls fall into three kinds of jobs.
Many Glendale homes built from the 1920s to the 1950s 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. Frequent leaks and discolored water are warning signs. Read the signs you need repiping.
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 Glendale permit for the replacement.
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. Recurring clogs usually point to a deeper problem. Read why your drains keep clogging and how to stop it.
