Local to Lincoln Heights. Built for its plumbing.

From North Broadway to Main Street, Lincoln Heights is part of our everyday service area. Lincoln Heights is about 4 miles east of our dispatch base at 211 S Lafayette Park Pl, as the crow flies, and our licensed plumbers answer calls here day and night, including weekends and holidays. We serve Lincoln Heights ZIP code 90031.

Many Lincoln Heights homes date from the 1910s through the 1930s, so we regularly find original clay sewer laterals, cast iron drain stacks and galvanized steel water lines. Clay joints let tree roots in, cast iron scales and cracks from the inside, and galvanized pipe rusts until pressure drops and the water runs brown.

Apartment buildings and multi-unit properties are a big part of Lincoln Heights, where one blocked main or stack can back up into several units at once, so we work closely with owners, landlords and property managers. Like most of Southern California, Lincoln Heights has moderately hard to hard water from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power (LADWP), which leaves scale in water heaters, tankless units, faucets and showerheads. Whatever the job, from drain cleaning and hydro jetting to video pipe inspection, water heater work and leak detection, you get a free estimate before any work begins.

“The technician and his assistant just left after installing a new Insinkerator. I could not be happier with the efficiency, cleanliness and manner in which they work. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them!”

“I reached out late on a Thursday evening, and true to their word, they had a team at my doorstep by 7:30 am the following morning. The team was efficient in clearing the blockage, and they had everything back together and tested in no time.”

BHBen HartGoogle review

“Tremendous work. I called and the crew came right away. Issue was a clogged drain pipe, but they went above and beyond, not just snaking the clog, but fixing the entire angle of the drain to be sure the clog didn't happen again. Fast. Efficient. Smart.”

Plumbing emergencies in Lincoln Heights

What should I do while I wait for an emergency plumber in Lincoln Heights?

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

Who do I call for a sewer backup in Lincoln Heights?

Most backups in Lincoln Heights 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.

What should I do if I smell gas in Lincoln Heights?

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.

What should I do if my water heater is leaking?

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

Drains, sewers and inspections in Lincoln Heights

Do you offer hydro jetting in Lincoln Heights?

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.

Can you do a video pipe inspection in Lincoln Heights?

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 Lincoln Heights property is targeted instead of guesswork.

Should I get a sewer line inspection before buying a home in Lincoln Heights?

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 Lincoln Heights shows its condition before you close, when repairs can still be negotiated.

What sewer problems are common in Lincoln Heights homes?

Based on the age and type of housing in Lincoln Heights, 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 Lincoln Heights. A camera inspection tells us which one you have before we recommend a repair.

Do you offer trenchless sewer repair in Lincoln Heights?

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.

Who is responsible for the sewer line at a Lincoln Heights home?

Usually the property owner, for the private lateral between the building and the public sewer, while the sewer agency maintains the main. The dividing point varies from one agency to another, so check the rule for your Lincoln Heights address with LA Sanitation. A camera inspection tells you what condition your section is in.

Water heaters, leaks and pipes in Lincoln Heights

Can you install a tankless water heater in Lincoln Heights?

Yes. Whether you want a like-for-like tank replacement or an upgrade to a tankless water heater, we size it for your Lincoln Heights household, handle gas, venting and water connections and strap it for earthquakes. The estimate is free.

Does my water heater need earthquake straps in Lincoln Heights?

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 Lincoln Heights.

How can I tell if I have a hidden water leak or slab leak?

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.

What causes low water pressure in Lincoln Heights?

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.

Is the water hard in Lincoln Heights, and what does it do to plumbing?

Like most of Southern California, Lincoln Heights 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 should I repipe my Lincoln Heights home?

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

Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Lincoln Heights?

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