Hollywood is about 3 miles northwest of our dispatch base at 211 S Lafayette Park Pl, as the crow flies, and we dispatch around the clock, often the same day. Arrival time depends on the hour, traffic and how many emergencies are open, so we give you a real arrival window when you call (213) 281-4751. If water is spreading, shut off the main valve while we are on the way.

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.

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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood property gives you video proof to negotiate with.

Based on the age and type of housing in Hollywood, 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 Hollywood. 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 Hollywood 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 Hollywood. 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 Hollywood.

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.

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, Hollywood 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.

When leaks keep coming back, the water runs rusty or pressure keeps dropping, patching stops making sense. Homes in Hollywood with original galvanized lines are prime candidates for repiping with copper or PEX. We keep wall openings small and quote it free up front.

Larger jobs such as water heater replacements, repiping, new gas lines and sewer line replacement generally need a permit. Hollywood 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.
