San Marino is about 11 miles east of our dispatch base at 211 S Lafayette Park Pl, as the crow flies, and we dispatch around the clock, often the same day. Arrival time depends on the hour, traffic and how many emergencies are open, so we give you a real arrival window when you call (213) 281-4751. If water is spreading, shut off the main valve while we are on the way.

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.

Yes, especially for an older home. A standard home inspection usually does not include the sewer lateral, and the private part of that line is generally the owner's responsibility. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection in San Marino shows its condition before you close, when repairs can still be negotiated.

Based on the age and type of housing in San Marino, 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 San Marino. 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 San Marino 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 San Marino with the City of San Marino. 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 San Marino 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 San Marino.

Watch for a higher water bill, warm spots on the floor, the sound of water running when nothing is on, musty smells or new cracks in tile. Then try the meter test: shut off every fixture and see if the meter keeps turning. If it does, our leak detection uses acoustic and thermal tools to find the leak without opening the whole floor.

If one faucet is weak, it is usually a clogged aerator or cartridge. If the whole San Marino 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, San Marino has moderately hard to hard water. 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 San Marino 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. San Marino permits are handled by the City of San Marino's building and safety office (or the Los Angeles County office it contracts with). As a licensed contractor, we pull the required permits and arrange inspections for you.
