First, stop the water: close the main shutoff, which on most South Gate homes is near the front hose bib, in the garage or where the line enters the building. Keep people away from water near outlets, stop running fixtures if a drain is backing up and move anything valuable. Then call (213) 281-4751. See burst pipe repair for more.

Most backups in South Gate 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.

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.

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 South Gate; a leaking tank usually means it is time to replace it.

Yes. When a drain in South Gate 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 South Gate property is targeted instead of guesswork.

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 South Gate shows its condition before you close, when repairs can still be negotiated.

Based on the age and type of housing in South Gate, 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 South Gate. 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 South Gate address with the City of South Gate. 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 South Gate 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 South Gate.

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 South Gate 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, South Gate 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.

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. South Gate permits are handled by the City of South Gate'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.
