Lakewood is about 17 miles southeast 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.

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

Yes, especially for an older home. A standard home inspection usually does not include the sewer lateral, and the private part of that line is generally the owner's responsibility. A pre-purchase sewer camera inspection in Lakewood shows its condition before you close, when repairs can still be negotiated.

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

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.

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