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

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

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 Norwalk property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Norwalk, the most common issues we find are 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 Norwalk. 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.

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 Norwalk with the City of Norwalk. A camera inspection shows the condition of the part that is yours.

Yes. Whether you want a like-for-like tank replacement or an upgrade to a tankless water heater, we size it for your Norwalk 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 Norwalk and check them on every service call.

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 Norwalk 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.

Yes, Norwalk 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. Norwalk permits are handled by the City of Norwalk'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.
