First, stop the water: close the main shutoff, which on most Mid City 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.

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. When a drain in Mid City 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 Mid City 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 Mid City property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Mid City, 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 Mid City. 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 Mid City 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 Mid City 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 Mid City 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 Mid City 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.

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.

Like most of Southern California, Mid City 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.

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. Mid City 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.
