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.

Most backups in Westwood come from tree roots, grease, wipes or a cracked or sagging sewer lateral. Stop using water, keep people away from the sewage and call (213) 281-4751. We clear the line through a cleanout and camera-inspect it. Clearing gets the sewer backup flowing again, but roots grow back and a damaged pipe keeps catching debris, so another blockage is likely until the defective section is repaired. The footage shows you which it is.

Leave the building immediately, do not use light switches, phones or flames inside, and call 911 or the gas company from outside. Once the utility says it is safe, call us for gas leak repair and gas line repair.

Turn off the cold water supply valve on top of the heater, then turn the gas control to off or switch off the breaker for an electric unit. If water is pooling, open the drain valve with a hose to an outside drain. Call us for water heater repair or replacement in Westwood; a leaking tank usually means it is time to replace it.

Yes. When a drain in Westwood keeps clogging, snaking usually just pokes a hole through the buildup. Hydro jetting scours the pipe wall to wall with high-pressure water, removing grease, scale and roots. We inspect with a camera first and set the pressure for the pipe material.

Yes. Our sewer camera inspection puts a waterproof CCTV camera inside the line while you watch the live feed. You see the roots, cracks, sags or blockage yourself, and a locator pinpoints where and how deep it is, so any repair at your Westwood property is targeted instead of guesswork.

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 Westwood property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Westwood, 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 and cracked and bellied cast iron or clay laterals and, in some tracts, deformed Orangeburg fiber pipe. Mature trees make root intrusion a leading cause of backups in Westwood. A camera inspection tells us which one you have before we recommend a repair.

Yes, when the line qualifies. Trenchless sewer repair either lines the old pipe from the inside or bursts it and pulls new pipe through, using one or two small pits. It saves Westwood driveways, gardens and hardscape, and a camera inspection tells us first whether it will work for your line.

In most of Los Angeles County the property owner is responsible for the private sewer lateral that runs from the house toward the public main, while the city or sewer district maintains the main. Exactly where that responsibility ends (the property line, the curb or the connection) varies by agency, so confirm the rule for Westwood with LA Sanitation. A camera inspection shows the condition of the part that is yours.

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

Yes. California law requires water heaters to be braced, anchored or strapped to resist falling or moving during an earthquake. Proper strapping protects the gas and water connections. We check and install seismic straps whenever we service or replace a water heater in Westwood.

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.

Low pressure is usually caused by a failing pressure regulator, a partly closed valve, clogged aerators, a hidden leak or old galvanized pipe narrowed by corrosion. If pressure is low throughout the house, the regulator or main line is the likely cause; if it is one fixture, it is usually that fixture.

Yes, Westwood water is moderately hard to hard, supplied by the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), as it is across most of Southern California. Scale builds up inside water heaters, tankless heat exchangers, valves and fixtures. An annual flush, tankless descaling and a softener or filtration system protect your plumbing.

Consider repiping when you have repeated pinhole leaks, rusty or discolored water, low pressure from corroded galvanized pipe, or pipes that are 50 to 70 years old. We repipe with copper or PEX, open as little drywall as possible and give you a free estimate first.

Larger jobs such as water heater replacements, repiping, new gas lines and sewer line replacement generally need a permit. Westwood 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.
