C-36 Licensed

Labor Warranty
Homes and buildings in areas like Silver Lake, Echo Park, Mid Wilshire and Hollywood were built between the 1920s and 1960s, and they commonly have galvanized supply lines, cast iron sewer lines, aging copper joints and clay sewer laterals. Our licensed plumbers carry camera inspection and trenchless repair equipment, including trenchless sewer replacement.
All plumbing work in the City of Los Angeles falls under LADBS, and sewer replacements, water heater installs, gas line changes and repipes need permits. We handle the permit and inspection. Need an electrician too? See our Los Angeles electricians. If leaks keep coming back, check our list of signs your home needs repiping.
Popular Projects
Most of our Los Angeles plumbing calls fall into three kinds of jobs.
Prewar and post-war Los Angeles homes often 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. Read what to do during a plumbing emergency so you know which valve to shut while we are on the way.
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 Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) permit for the replacement. Shopping for a new unit? Our water heater buying guide compares tank, tankless, and heat pump models.
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 handle sewer line repair or replacement on the damaged section.

Los Angeles homes get water from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). It is hard enough to leave scale in water heaters, valves and fixtures. Plumbing permits come from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).
Water heater replacements, repipes, gas lines and sewer work need a Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) permit. We apply for it.
An inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.

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