We’ll inspect your plumbing, make recommendations and give you a free estimate. Our Torrance plumbers provide a wide range of plumbing and gas services including:
Many people wonder how to know when to replace their hot water heater. If your heater needs frequent repairs, makes loud banging noises, has a yellow flame instead of a blue flame and is more than 15 years old, there is a good chance you will benefit from replacing it.
An old heater uses more energy and often wastes energy if the thermostat is malfunctioning or there are leaks in the duct system. We can inspect your heater and tell you if it’s on its last legs. A new heater may be costly, but we offer up to 12 months financing to help you with the installation costs. In the long run, a new heater will save you money by using up to 15 percent less energy while providing excellent hot water service. We show our commitment by providing the water heater repair Torrance residents deserve.
We have the latest Torrance plumbing equipment that can detect exactly where the blockage is in your pipes. We not only clear the blockage, we clean the whole drain pipe whether it is from your laundry room, kitchen, bathroom or outdoors. We offer plumbing services Torrance trusts with a guarantee for all of our work. If the pipe is still not draining properly, we’ll send a rooter technician to clean the drain again.
Your kitchen plumbing needs to function efficiently to keep your kitchen clean and hygienic. Leaking pipes under the sink from the garbage disposal or sink can create an environment where mold and mildew can grow.
Showers, tubs and sinks in the bathroom also need to drain properly to maintain a clean environment. Overflowing toilet water is seriously unhygienic even if it looks clear. Our plumbers in Torrance have been serving the region for more than 75 years. We can diagnose your kitchen and bathroom problems and fix them quickly. We always give a free estimate before we begin work.
Sump pumps are the number one way to remove water from your house and help reduce water damage. Basements may flood because a drain pipe is blocked or because the foundation is cracked and allowing water in from the ground. We have the equipment and technicians to evaluate your flooding potential and properly install a sump pump.
It is not recommended for people to attempt do-it-yourself installation of a sump pump. It is very labor intensive and requires breaking into the foundation and digging down at least 30 feet. We are the plumbing contractors Torrance has come to depend on to get the job done right the first time. Many insurance companies require homes to have a water removal system especially if the house is in a flood prone area.
All plumbing installations should be fitted with waste traps. The traps should have an efficient water seal to block sewer gasses from entering the building. If you experience a bad odor in your home but can’t find the place where it is entering, we’ll send a Torrance plumber to examine your plumbing, find the source of the odor and repair the cause. There are several different types of waste traps, and we can install and service all of them.
Our Torrance plumbing services are low water pressure repair specialists in the Los Angeles area. When you turn your tap on full and only a small stream of water comes out, you have water pressure problems that may have a variety of causes. We’ll examine all the possibilities and get your water pressure to maximum.
Leaks in plumbing can cause many serious problems ranging from water damage in walls, floors and ceilings to low water pressure and high energy bills. If your hot water heater leaks, the tank will constantly be heating water, causing unneeded energy use. Water damage in the structure of you home will eventually begin to grow mold, mildew and fungi that will seriously contaminate the indoor air. We provide the expert leak detection Torrance residents need in order to avoid those issues.
Call us for all of your outdoor plumbing requirements for your pool, fountains, sprinklers, water distribution system and drainage. We’ll help make your garden the envy of the neighborhood.
Earthquakes are one thing the people of Southern California have to endure in order to live in this wonderful place. Earthquake valves will help prevent the damage that the earthquake may cause your plumbing and gas lines. These issues can cause much more damage than the actual earthquake. Fire and extensive water damage from broken pipes are the main issues. An earthquake valve can automatically shut off the gas, so the residents don’t need to worry about it if they are not at home or unable to reach their gas meter during an earthquake.
There are several types of earthquake valves and our Torrance plumbers can inspect, repair and install them all. In 2002, California building codes stated that all homes and business much have earthquake valves on their gas meters. We’ll inspect your home and tell you if it is compliant or make it compliant if necessary.
You can be confident that your plumbing and gas lines are functioning efficiently if you call the plumbing contractors Torrance depends on for regular examinations and maintenance. It is much cheaper to fix little problems before they become big issues and cause expensive damage to your home.

A distressed homeowner contacted us complaining of a leaking sink. He said that the problem had been ongoing, and he had tried to tighten washers in an attempt to fix it.
While the homeowner considered himself a handyman around the house, the technician was dispatched to assess the situation. After checking to ensure the washer seat was clear of debris and that the fixture was tightly mounted to the sink, the technician discussed a full faucet replacement.
The homeowner did not want to lose any more money on excess water bills so he agreed to a replacement. The technician turned off the water supply to the home, unbolted the current faucet from the sink and set it to the side. He removed any remaining caulk before setting the new faucet on top of the base. Before applying new caulk, he made sure that the spray hose would line up in the new faucet. It was a tight fit, and the technician had to tweak the fixture so that the hose would be in sync. He then tightened the nuts to ensure that the new faucet was securely mounted on the sink. After reconnecting the water lines and turning the water on in the home, he tested the unit to make sure the installation was successful.

A homeowner contacted us with reports of a clogged sewer. Before we sent a technician to her home, she was able to tell us that she had recently purchased her home and that it was a few decades old.
Armed with this information, the technician asked the homeowner if she knew if she had clay tile pipes in her sewer system. She was not certain, but the technician explained that the roots of the trees in her yard may often be drawn to the warmth and moisture in the sewer lines; clay pipes provide a great way for roots to access the water.
After using a camera to view the pipes, the technician verified that the system was, indeed, made of clay and that the roots had been growing into the loose joints and tiny cracks that had developed over time. Fortunately, the damage had only been done in one area of the pipe, under a particularly large tree, so the technician was confident that he could cut through the roots to remove the clog. However, he suggested that the homeowner consider replacing her pipes with newer PVC or concrete pipes to prevent the situation from reoccurring in the future. The homeowner said she would consider it and contact us to schedule a future appointment.

A client called us to ask us if there was any way to unclog the drain in her garage. The strainer was not completely secured on the drain hole when she had been sweeping the garage early, and she reported that she had accidently swept leaves and grass clippings into the pipe.
The technician was dispatched to her location to assist her and to determine if the drain needed to be cleaned or if the clog was due to a blockage that was beyond repair.
Our technician first removed the strainer from the drain and fed a cable into the drain pipe. He was then able to plug in the power augur near the drain. The technician set it to function in a clockwise motion and turned on the unit before pushing into the drain. Once he located the source of resistance, he repeatedly pulled the cable out and placed it back into the drain until he was able to successfully break up the clog. He ensured the drain was clean by pouring three buckets of hot water into the pipe.

A business owner called to report that his company was not able to have hot water at his location. He was unsure of the cause, as the hot water had been working the previous day.
The technician met the owner to discuss the possible causes of the hot water malfunctioning. After ruling out leaking pipes, the technician determined that the gas line was either clogged or needed to be repaired.
Our technician used an inline camera to detect the source of the issue and found that both the pilot light needed to be relit and that the gas line required replacement. He explained to the customer that over time, the gas lines can become corroded and worn, thus negatively affecting the ability to provide hot water. While the customer was surprised that the technician needed to install a new gas line, he was relieved that we were able to solve the problem before a serious gas leak occurred.

A landlord received complaints from multiple tenants in his building that the water pressure was very poor.
Although he attributed the first report as merely a problem with a single faucet in the apartment and had previously called a repairman to inspect the unit, after he received calls from every client, he realized that the whole building needed to be checked.
The technician needed to narrow down the cause of the low water pressure. He first checked the water meter to ensure that it was turned on the whole way and that the repairman had not turned it back. He found that the meter itself was not completely on and mentioned this to the client. The client remembered that he had called a repairman to look at one apartment after he received the first call and realized that the repairman may have forgotten to turn it back on the rest of the way. The client thanked the technician for being thorough and narrowing down the cause of the low water pressure so quickly.

Our company received a call from a customer who was suffering from defective galvanized pipes throughout his home. He requested that we send a technician to repipe his entire house to ensure that his property and family would be safe from leaking pipes or other subsequent water damage.
In order to completely repipe the home, we needed to bypass the existing distribution system starting at the middle point between the interior and exterior pipes and finishing at different fixtures such as faucets and sinks throughout the house.
As our technician began to work, he noticed that the old pipes had developed many pinhole leaks that were resulting in mold growth in the walls. The technician reassured the homeowner that he did the right thing by calling a plumber because if he had let the problem go much longer, he would have been faced with expensive damages. In addition to replacing the pipes, the technician also repaired the places in the drywall where he had previously accessed the system.

A frustrated homeowner contacted us with a claim that her dishwasher simply wasn’t getting her dishes clean. With four young children and an always-hungry husband, she was becoming increasingly frustrated with doing dishes three times to get them clean.
The customer had acknowledged that she had tried different soaps and tablets in an effort to clean her dishes, but nothing was working. The technician assessed the unit and determined that the dishwasher may not be receiving the proper amount of water.
To confirm his suspicion, the technician checked the electrical valve in the unit. This water inlet valve should open up to allow hot water into the unit when it is working properly. However, the technician found that the valve had failed, thus resulting in the lack of water to clean the cookware. The valve was old and beyond repair, so our technician was able to remove it and replace it with a new model. The homeowner already had dishes waiting to go, so the technician remained in her home to verify that the cycle would be completed properly.

We received a call from a client who was experiencing flood-like waters in her basement. She did not know where the water was coming from and was concerned for the protection of her valuables and furniture.
We know how important emergency issues can be so our 24 hour plumber responded within the hour. We surveyed the situation and determined that the excess water was the result of a clogged sewer drain. We asked the customer if she had been experiencing delaying flushes or prolonged refilling times when she used her toilet, and she reported that she had experienced difficulty earlier that day.
We used state-of-the-art equipment and technology to locate the source of the problem. Our technician found that the best method to find the clog was to thread a camera into the drainage system rather than begin digging in areas simply to guess where the issue began. After locating the clog, the technician was able to quickly and efficiently restore the sewer system with minimal damage to the customer’s property. She was happy to know that we took the effort to accurately find the troubled area before we started to rectify the problem.

We received a call from a client requesting that our technicians install a sump pump in her home. She had been experiencing a leaking basement and had a feeling that the old sump pump was to blame.
We verified that the sump pump did, in fact, need to be replaced. The client was more than willing to allow us to complete the task because she did not want to have any more water leaking into her basement as she was making plans to furnish it.
Our technician determined where the utility, sewer and water lines were and designated a spot away from this area at the lowest point of the basement. The technician dug a whole to the manufacturer’s recommended depth and put the liner into the hole. He then filled the hole with gravel and attached the discharge pipe to the sump pump. He finished the job by caulking to guard against leaking and adjusting the float valve on the sump pump.

A business owner had contacted us with concerns that his current sprinkler system was not functioning properly. The sprinkler heads would spray water wildly at some times or they would not work at all.
He claimed that the sprinkler heads were not directing water correctly and that they appeared to be clogged. We examined the heads and looked for broken and cracked plastic casing to verify that we needed to replace them. We explained to the customer that over time, the heads can become worn due to constant use, weather elements and careless lawn mowers.
Our technician was able to turn off the water system and dig a three-foot diameter ditch around the sprinkler heads. He removed the sprinkler head from the riser using a wrench. The technician attached a new sprinkler head by screwing it back onto the riser. Before he filled the hole, he turned the water supply on to test the system and set the sprinkler pattern to the customer’s needs.
It takes less than 5 minutes and we’re available 24/7.
