Permits, licenses and your utility

Your drinking water comes from the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, and wastewater goes to LA Sanitation, which runs the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant. When a drain backs up, the question is where the blockage sits: inside the house or in your private sewer lateral is usually the owner's job, while the public main belongs to the utility. California licenses plumbing contractors through the Contractors State License Board, which has an online license check.

Know your Los Angeles house

The San Fernando Valley grew fast after World War II, and ranch houses with attached garages are everywhere in Van Nuys and North Hollywood. LA's soft-story retrofit ordinance has required thousands of wood apartment buildings with tuck-under parking to be strengthened.

LADWP is the largest city-owned utility in the country, supplying both water and electricity. Galvanized supply lines in older houses narrow from the inside over decades, which is a common reason for weak pressure at one faucet but not another.

Dry years mean watering limits and a lot of interest in low-flow fixtures. Hard water is also common, and mineral scale can shorten the life of valves and faucets. Hillside homes in Silver Lake, Echo Park and Mount Washington sit on steep lots, some reached by public stairways rather than driveways.

What to have ready

Before the plumber arrives, clear out the cabinet under the sink and make sure you can reach the main shutoff.

Problems people call about

Questions from Los Angeles residents

Is my neighborhood in Los Angeles covered?

Pros we work with cover Los Angeles neighborhoods such as Silver Lake, Echo Park, Boyle Heights and Highland Park, in ZIP codes 90001, 90002, 90003, 90004, 90005 and others. Availability changes day to day, and we will be upfront if nobody can take the job.

What causes a gurgling toilet?

Gurgling usually means air is being pulled through the trap because a drain or vent is partly blocked. If several fixtures gurgle at once, the blockage is likely further down the main line.

Can a plumber thaw a frozen pipe?

Yes. They can warm the line safely and check whether it split. Avoid open flames, and leave the faucet slightly open so the pressure has somewhere to go.

Can I replace a faucet myself?

Many people do. If the shutoff valves under the sink are stuck or leaking, though, that is a good time to bring in a plumber.

If things get worse while you wait, call back and tell us. Safety comes before scheduling.
