PowerRoute Electric & Plumbing handles plumbing for homes and businesses across Burbank, from older houses near Downtown Burbank to the Magnolia Park and Rancho areas. Our licensed plumbers find hidden leaks, clear drains, replace water heaters and fixtures, repipe older homes and repair sewer lines, including water heater installation.
Burbank Water and Power supplies the city’s water, and it is hard enough to leave scale in heaters and fixtures, so we check for it on every visit. Need an electrician too?

Popular Projects
Most of our Burbank plumbing calls fall into three kinds of jobs.
Many older Burbank 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.
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 Burbank Building and Safety Division 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. If the same drain backs up again and again, our guide on why drains keep clogging covers the usual causes.
Four simple steps from your first call to a finished, inspected job.

Burbank homes get water from Burbank Water and Power (BWP). It is hard enough to leave scale in water heaters, valves and fixtures. Plumbing permits come from the City of Burbank Building and Safety Division.
Water heater replacements, repipes, gas lines and sewer work need a City of Burbank Building and Safety Division permit. We apply for it.
An inspector checks permitted work. We book the inspection and meet the inspector on site.
California requires water heaters to be strapped. We install and inspect the straps on every heater we set.
For homes with heavy scale, we can add a water softener or filtration to protect the heater and fixtures.

Yes. We repair and replace both tank and tankless water heaters and recommend the right option based on the age and condition of your unit.
Burbank Water and Power's water is hard enough to leave scale in water heaters, valves and fixtures, so heaters may need flushing more often. A softener or filter can help.
Frequent backups, odors, several clogged drains at once, gurgling sounds and standing water in the yard are common signs. We camera the line to find the cause before recommending a fix.
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.
