“Abel and his team (Anthony and Jose) are amazingly professional, thorough, and courteous. They were prompt and efficient in replacing my water heater and bathroom sink. I would highly recommend them for any plumbing needs.” — A.C.

From the surface, Glendale looks picture-perfect—nestled against the Verdugo Mountains, filled with hillside homes and bustling boulevards. But underground, it tells a different story.
Decades-old pipes, stubborn hard water, and shifting foundations can test even the best-maintained homes. From Rossmoyne’s classic bungalows to high-rises near the Americana, plumbing in Glendale is as complex as the city itself.
For over eight decades, Ritz Plumbing has helped Glendale homeowners, landlords, and property managers keep their pipes, drains, and water lines running safely and efficiently.
Our licensed plumbers know the city’s terrain, water quality, and building codes and deliver solutions that protect property value, improve efficiency, and meet every city standard.
Even a minor plumbing issue in Glendale can turn into a major headache. Ritz Plumbing provides comprehensive repairs and upgrades for homes, apartments, and commercial spaces throughout the city.
Our Westside plumbing services include:
When a burst pipe or overflowing drain hits, every minute matters. Our 24/7 plumbers in Glendale are available around the clock for emergency calls. We quickly locate the problem, stop further damage, and restore service, whether a corroded main in an Adams Hill home or a pressure issue in a downtown apartment.
Old gas lines weakened by rust and years of use pose a serious safety risk in many Glendale mid-century and pre-war homes. We perform inspections, pressure tests, and code-compliant repairs to keep your system safe. Our team also installs new gas hookups for remodels, fireplaces, and outdoor kitchens, meeting all Glendale permit and safety requirements.
Tree roots cause frequent sewer issues in Glendale’s older neighborhoods. Cracked clay and cast-iron lines lead to backups and clogged drains. We use hydro jetting to clear blockages and trenchless sewer replacement to fix pipes without tearing up yards—ideal for dense streets and shared courtyards.
Glendale’s hard water shortens water heater life and reduces efficiency. We install, repair, and maintain both tank and tankless systems sized for your home’s layout and usage. Every job meets Glendale’s permit and safety standards, including seismic strapping, pressure relief valves, and proper venting.
Hidden leaks waste water and damage walls or foundations, especially in Glendale’s hillside areas. We use advanced tools to locate leaks behind walls or under slabs without demolition. Our team performs slab leak repairs and safe reroutes in neighborhoods like Chevy Chase Canyon and Crescenta Highlands, where soil movement is common.
From restored Rossmoyne homes to modern condos, Glendale homeowners want fixtures that look great and save water. We install high-efficiency faucets, showers, and sinks that meet state standards. For older plumbing, we replace connections showing signs of wear and add water-softening systems to prevent mineral buildup.
Older homes in Rossmoyne, Adams Hill, and Verdugo Woodlands often still use galvanized pipes that restrict flow and cause discoloration. We provide copper or PEX repiping services to restore clear water and steady pressure. We install new regulators or main lines to modernize your system when needed.
Outdoor plumbing is part of Glendale living. We install and maintain irrigation lines, hose bibs, and outdoor fixtures—from gardens in Chevy Chase Canyon to patio kitchens in Montrose. Our systems handle hard water and uneven terrain while delivering efficient and eco-friendly coverage year-round.
Downtown Glendale and Brand Boulevard have high-rise and mixed-use buildings requiring expert service. We handle drain cleaning, backflow prevention, tenant improvement plumbing, and grease interceptor installs. Our crews work around tenants and business hours.
The city enforces strict building and plumbing codes, especially for remodels, gas line work, and water heater repair in Glendale.
Here’s how we meet these standards:
| Requirement | What It Means for You |
| California Plumbing Code (2022) | We follow all state rules for seismic shut-off valves, water-efficiency fixtures, and backflow protection. |
| Permit Rules | Most plumbing work requires a permit, including repiping, sewer repair, and water heater installations. We handle filing, scheduling, and city inspections. |
| Construction Hours | Work is allowed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday (with limited weekends). We plan jobs around Glendale’s noise and work-hour limits. |
| Licensed Contractors | CA License #955742 — fully bonded, insured, and registered with Glendale’s Building & Safety Division. |
Every service call starts with a site-specific assessment because no two Santa Monica properties, or plumbing systems, are exactly alike.
