Long Beach is about 21 miles south of our dispatch base at 211 S Lafayette Park Pl, as the crow flies. We dispatch 24/7 and most Long Beach calls are handled the same day.

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 Long Beach 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.

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. When a drain in Long Beach 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. 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 Long Beach property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Long Beach, 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, cracked and bellied cast iron or clay laterals and, in some tracts, deformed Orangeburg fiber pipe, and corroded cast iron in older beach-area homes. Mature trees make root intrusion a leading cause of backups in Long Beach. 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 Long Beach driveways, gardens and hardscape, and a camera inspection tells us first whether it will work for your line.

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 Long Beach address with the City of Long Beach. 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 Long Beach 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 Long Beach and check them on every service call.

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 Long Beach 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, Long Beach has moderately hard to hard water from Long Beach Utilities. 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. Long Beach permits are handled by the City of Long Beach'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.
