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

Based on the age and type of housing in Whittier, 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 long downhill laterals and failing ejector pumps on lots below the street. Mature trees make root intrusion a leading cause of backups in Whittier. 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 Whittier 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 Whittier with the City of Whittier. 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 Whittier. 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 Whittier.

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.

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.

Yes, Whittier water is moderately hard to hard, as it is across most of Southern California. Scale builds up inside water heaters, tankless heat exchangers, valves and fixtures. An annual flush, tankless descaling and a softener or filtration system protect your plumbing.

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. Whittier permits are handled by the City of Whittier'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.
