Plumber in Woodland Hills
Hiring a plumber in Woodland Hills for a leak you can hear but cannot find, or a drain that blocks every few months? Both have a cause, and we find it before we talk about fixing it.
We answer day and night, every day, including weekends and holidays.
Plumbing trouble in a house usually comes down to one of two things: water showing up where it should not, or water not going where it should. Here the first can be a leak under a slab, and the second a main line that keeps closing.
Drains that keep closing
If you have booked drain cleaning in Woodland Hills more than once for the same line, clearing it again only buys time. In a kitchen the cause is often years of grease. In a main line it can be roots, or a sag in the pipe where waste settles. We run a rooter cable to open the line, and if it closes again, a camera shows you why. See drain cleaning.
Ranch houses on a slab
Many houses in Woodland Hills are single-story ranch houses on a concrete slab, including plenty on the big lots of Walnut Acres. The apartment buildings and offices around Warner Center are a different kind of job, with lines shared between units.
When a pipe leaks under a slab, you may hear water running with every faucet off, or find a warm patch on the floor. We locate it with equipment before anyone talks about breaking concrete. More on leak detection.
Tell us what you can see and what you can hear, and we will tell you what it most likely is.
Emergency plumbing in Woodland Hills
A supply line that splits under a sink at night is when you need a 24-hour plumber in Woodland Hills. Until we get there, the valve under that sink stops the water. A slab leak is different. With the main closed it stops getting worse, and we can talk through with you whether it needs someone tonight. The emergency plumbing page has the rest.
What happens after you call
- You call, or you send us what is wrong.A sentence and a ZIP is enough to start.
- We tell you when we can be there, and we give you a window.Same day, and we tell you the window before we set off so you are not waiting around all afternoon.
- If that window moves, you hear it from us before it moves.Not after you have waited through it.
- We look. Then we tell you what we found, in plain words, while we are still there.Not in a report that arrives the next day.
- You decide what happens next.Including deciding to do nothing yet.
Woodland Hills questions
Is a rooter different from a plumber?
A rooter is the cable machine that clears a blocked line, and rooter work is one of the things a plumber does. We do it, along with the rest of the plumbing in the house.
Can you find a slab leak without breaking up the floor?
We find it first, from above, with equipment. Reaching the pipe usually means opening the floor at that one spot, and before anything is opened you hear what will be opened and what goes back.
What if something gets damaged while you work?
If we damage something while we are working, we make it right. You do not argue with us about it and you do not pay for it.
What we fix
Most of the calls we get are about one of these. We do the rest of it too.
