Common Plumbing Issues Every Angeleno Should Watch For.
Due to Los Angeles County’s plumbing challenges, these everyday problems plague homes across the county:
1. Stubborn Clogs
The #1 service call for plumbers:
- Toilets backing up unexpectedly
- Showers pooling ankle-deep water
- Kitchen sinks slow to drain (often grease-related)
2. Water Heater Woes
Spot trouble before you’re stuck with cold showers:
→ Rust-colored water
→ Popping or rumbling sounds
→ Temperature swings mid-shower
3. Runaway Toilets
That constant running sound? It’s flushing money:
- Wastes 200+ gallons daily
- Often caused by worn flappers
- Check by adding food coloring to the tank
4. Weak Water Pressure
More than just shower frustration:
☑️ Mineral buildup in older pipes
☑️ Hidden leaks in walls
☑️ Municipal supply issues
5. Sneaky Leaks
The silent budget-killers:
- Dripping faucets (wasting 3,000+ gallons yearly)
- Under-sink moisture invites mold
- Foundation threats from slab leaks
Why It Matters?
Addressing these early prevents 80% of emergency calls. Simple habits like monthly drain maintenance and annual heater checks can save thousands.

Leak Detection
Monthly Checks: Examine under sinks and around appliances for moisture

Job Locations and Reviews
Estimate provided
I am a highly skilled home service professional. I recently completed a job where I found a system in low-pressure lockout L1. I reset the control board and the system started operating. The first-stage cooling produced an 18°F temperature split, and the pressures were 122 psig suction and 263 psig liquid. Static pressure readings indicated poor airflow through the system, and further inspection showed that the TXV was not metering properly, likely sticking or restricted. This combination was causing high total static, which in turn affected refrigerant flow and coil performance. To address these issues, I recommended adding or enlarging return/supply ductwork to balance airflow and lower static pressure, replacing the TXV to ensure proper refrigerant metering, recharging the system to manufacturer specifications R-410A after airflow corrections, and re-checking pressures and temperature splits after stabilization.
I was called out to a residential property today to investigate a no-cooling or no-heating issue. Upon arrival, I found that the system was displaying an error code A3, indicating a drain pump failure. Upon further inspection, I noticed that the drain pump was not discharging water, and there was water in the reservoir. Additionally, I observed debris buildup inside the reservoir and the condensate line, which may have contributed to the drain pump failure. To resolve the issue, I recommended replacing the drain pump and cleaning or replacing the blower condensate lines to ensure proper drainage and prevent future problems.
I recently completed a job installing a Daikin 12K Mini Split Multi Zone 230V Indoor, a Daikin 9K Mini Split Multi Zone 230V Indoor, and a Daikin Warranty. The job also included a Line-set Mini Split, Line-set cover, electrical breaker, disconnect box, electrical power whip, condenser pad, and labor crew. The installation was completed without a permit or hers test.
Gabriel was not only incredibly kind but also thorough, explaining everything to me in a way I could understand. I'm so appreciative of his help as I was very worried that my problem was more severe than it was! Thank you to Gabriel for your diligence and Affordable Healing & Air for your service.
The scope of work for the installation of an EcoBee thermostat was to install a customer-owned EcoBee thermostat. The customer paid 50% upfront and 50% upon completion of the job.

I am a highly skilled and experienced home service professional. I was called to a home to diagnose and repair a central air conditioning system that was not cooling properly. Upon arrival, I found that the capacitors were not connected, which was causing the system to not operate properly. I replaced the capacitors and checked the wiring, but the fan motor and compressor were still not working. I noticed that the fan was slowing down, so I unplugged it and checked the wiring. I found that the wiring was not connected properly, so I rewired it. After rewiring the wiring, the fan started working again, and the system was cooling properly.
