First, stop the water: close the main shutoff, which on most Baldwin Hills 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 Baldwin Hills 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.

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.

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 Baldwin Hills property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Baldwin Hills, the most common issues we find are cracked and bellied cast iron or clay laterals and, in some tracts, deformed Orangeburg fiber pipe and long downhill laterals and failing ejector pumps on lots below the street. Mature trees make root intrusion a leading cause of backups in Baldwin Hills. 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 Baldwin Hills 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 Baldwin Hills with LA Sanitation. A camera inspection shows the condition of the part that is yours.

Yes. We repair and replace tank water heaters and install tankless water heaters in Baldwin Hills. We size the unit to your household and fuel type, handle venting, gas and water connections and earthquake strapping, and give you a free estimate first.

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 Baldwin Hills.

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.

On hillside lots, pressure can be very high at the bottom of a street and lower at the top, so a working pressure regulator matters. Low pressure throughout the house usually means a failing regulator, a partly closed valve or old galvanized pipe; high pressure, above about 80 psi, wears out fixtures and water heaters and should be regulated.

Like most of Southern California, Baldwin Hills 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. Baldwin Hills 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.
