A plumbing emergency is anything that can damage the property, threaten health or leave you without essential water. That includes burst pipes, flooding, sewage backing up into drains or toilets, a gas leak, a leaking water heater, no water to the property, and a toilet that keeps overflowing. If you are unsure, call (213) 281-4751 and we will help you decide.

Shut off the main water valve right away, then turn off electricity to any area where water is near outlets or appliances, if it is safe to do so. Open a faucet at the lowest point of the house to drain remaining pressure, move valuables away from the water and call for a burst pipe repair. 24/7 Rooter Service responds around the clock.

Find the main shutoff valve where the water line enters the house, which in Los Angeles is often near the front hose bib, in the garage, or in a basement or crawl space, and turn it clockwise until it stops. If that valve will not close, the shutoff at the water meter near the street usually needs a meter key. Knowing where your valve is before an emergency can save thousands in water damage.

Stop running water and flushing toilets right away, keep people and pets away from the sewage, and do not pour chemical drain cleaner into the line. A sewer backup usually means the main line is blocked by roots, grease, debris or damaged pipe. A licensed plumber can clear it through a cleanout, then run a video pipe inspection to find the cause so it does not happen again.

Leave the building right away, do not use switches or flames, and call 911 or your gas utility from outside. Once it is safe, call us for gas leak and gas line repair.

Recurring clogs usually point to something deeper than a single blockage: grease buildup, hair and soap scum, wipes, mineral scale, tree roots, or a sagging or broken section of pipe. Snaking often only punches a hole through the clog, so it returns. Professional drain cleaning, hydro jetting and a camera inspection find and fix the real cause.

Hydro jetting sends high-pressure water through a drain or sewer line to scour away grease, scale, debris and tree roots, cleaning the full width of the pipe instead of just punching a hole through a clog. It is a good fit for slow drains that keep coming back, main line backups and older lines with heavy buildup.

Yes, when it is done right. We inspect the line with a camera first, then match the water pressure and nozzle to the pipe material and condition. If a section of old clay or cast iron is badly cracked or collapsed, we recommend repairing it before hydro jetting so the line is cleaned safely.

Yes. Roots are drawn to the moisture inside sewer pipes and enter through joints and small cracks, especially in older clay and cast iron lines common in Los Angeles. Over time they cause slow drains, repeated backups and even broken pipe. We cut the roots out, hydro jet the line and, if needed, seal it with trenchless lining; see our tree root removal service.

Trenchless sewer repair fixes or replaces a sewer line through small access points instead of digging a long trench, using pipe lining or pipe bursting. It is often worth it because it protects landscaping, driveways and hardscape and usually finishes faster. Not every line qualifies, so a video pipe inspection comes first to confirm the best option.

Often, yes. We start with a sewer camera inspection to see exactly what is wrong. Many damaged lines can then be repaired with trenchless sewer lining or pipe bursting, which needs only small access points instead of a long trench.

We do not recommend them. Harsh chemical drain cleaners can damage older pipes and fittings, rarely clear main line clogs, and leave caustic water sitting in the line that is dangerous for anyone who works on it next. For a clog that keeps coming back, mechanical cleaning or hydro jetting is safer and more effective.

A sewer smell usually comes from a dry drain trap, a failed toilet wax ring, a blocked or damaged vent pipe, or a cracked sewer line. Try running water in unused sinks, tubs and floor drains to refill their traps. If the odor stays, call us; a sewer camera inspection can locate a hidden crack or broken line.

Common signs include a water bill that jumps for no reason, the sound of running water when everything is off, warm or damp spots on the floor, mold or musty odors, and cracks in flooring or walls. A simple test: turn off every fixture and watch the water meter; if it still moves, you likely have a leak. Our leak detection pinpoints the source without tearing out walls or floors.

Low pressure is usually caused by a failing pressure regulator, a partially closed valve, clogged faucet aerators or showerheads, a hidden leak, or old galvanized pipes narrowed by corrosion. If pressure is low throughout the house, the regulator or main line is the likely cause; aging galvanized pipes may call for a repipe.

A tankless water heater heats water on demand, saves space, can lower energy use and often lasts longer, but costs more up front. A traditional tank costs less to install and is simpler to replace, and many tank units last around 8 to 12 years. We look at your household size, fuel type and budget and recommend the best fit, with a free estimate before any work begins.
