Shut off the water at the main valve, usually near the front hose bib, in the garage or where the line enters the house. Turn off power to any area where water is near outlets or appliances if it is safe, stop using drains and toilets if sewage is backing up, and move valuables out of the way. Then call (213) 281-4751; for a burst pipe see our burst pipe repair service.

Call a licensed plumber right away and stop running water. A sewer backup usually means the main line is blocked by roots, grease, wipes or a damaged pipe. We clear the line through a cleanout, then run a camera through it to see why it happened. Clearing restores flow, but if tree roots or a cracked, sagging or offset pipe caused the backup, it can happen again until that section is repaired. The camera footage shows exactly what a lasting repair requires.

Get everyone out first. Do not flip switches, use phones or light anything indoors; call 911 or the gas utility from outside. After the utility clears the property, we can find and fix the problem with gas leak repair or gas line repair.

Close the cold water valve above the tank and shut off the gas (set the control to off) or the breaker for an electric heater. Drain the tank through a hose if water is spreading. A tank that leaks from the body cannot be repaired, so we will quote a water heater replacement and can usually install the same or next day.

Yes. Hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through drain and sewer lines to scour away grease, scale and roots, cleaning the full width of the pipe. It often helps drains that keep clogging, because snaking usually just punches a hole through the buildup. If roots or a damaged pipe are the cause, the line can clog again until that section is repaired. We camera-inspect first and match pressure to the pipe material, so it is safe for older lines as well as new ones.

Yes. A video pipe inspection, also called a CCTV sewer camera inspection, sends a waterproof camera through your drain or sewer line and streams live video. It shows cracks, roots, bellies, offset joints and buildup, and a locator marks the exact spot and depth from the surface so repairs target only the damaged section.

We recommend it. General home inspections rarely look inside the sewer line, yet a failing lateral can cost thousands, and once you own the home the private part of the line is generally yours. A camera inspection before closing on a Westlake property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Westlake, the most common issues we find are root intrusion through clay pipe joints and cast iron that has scaled, cracked or rotted through at the bottom. Mature trees make root intrusion a leading cause of backups in Westlake. A camera inspection tells us which one you have before we recommend a repair.

Often, yes. After a camera inspection, many damaged lines can be repaired with trenchless sewer repair, using pipe lining or pipe bursting through small access points instead of a long trench. That protects landscaping, driveways and hardscape and usually finishes faster.

Usually the property owner, for the private lateral between the building and the public sewer, while the sewer agency maintains the main. The dividing point varies from one agency to another, so check the rule for your Westlake address with LA Sanitation. A camera inspection tells you what condition your section is in.

Yes. Whether you want a like-for-like tank replacement or an upgrade to a tankless water heater, we size it for your Westlake household, handle gas, venting and water connections and strap it for earthquakes. The estimate is free.

Yes. State law requires every water heater in California to be strapped or braced for earthquakes, because a tank that tips can break its gas line. We install code-compliant straps on every heater we put in in Westlake and check them on every service call.

Common signs are a water bill that jumps for no reason, the sound of running water with everything off, warm or damp spots on the floor, mold or musty odors and cracks in flooring. Turn off every fixture and watch the water meter; if it still moves, you likely have a leak. Our leak detection pinpoints it without tearing out floors or walls.

If one faucet is weak, it is usually a clogged aerator or cartridge. If the whole Westlake home is weak, look at the pressure regulator, the main valve, a hidden leak or galvanized pipe narrowed by rust. We test pressure at the hose bib and tell you exactly which it is.

Like most of Southern California, Westlake has moderately hard to hard water from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP). The minerals leave scale in water heaters and tankless units, faucets, showerheads and valves, which shortens their life. Flushing the water heater, descaling tankless units and adding a water softener or filtration system all help.

When leaks keep coming back, the water runs rusty or pressure keeps dropping, patching stops making sense. Homes in Westlake with original galvanized lines are prime candidates for repiping with copper or PEX. We keep wall openings small and quote it free up front.

Larger jobs such as water heater replacements, repiping, new gas lines and sewer line replacement generally need a permit. Westlake permits are handled by the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). As a licensed contractor, we pull the required permits and arrange inspections for you.
