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.

Job Locations and Reviews
I am a highly skilled home service professional. I recently completed a job where a customer reported that their thermostat had fallen a couple of times and then stopped working. I diagnosed the issue as a faulty thermostat and installed a T6 Pro Honeywell system. The system is now working perfectly.
• Re-pipe and properly install the condensation drain line. • Blow out the existing condensation line. • Perform a full furnace cleaning. • Replace the blower motor due to oil leakage and heavy dirt buildup.
I was called to a home to check on a buzzing sound coming from a thermostat. I checked the wiring and found that the capacitor had been disconnected. I reconnected the capacitor and ensured that all the wires were properly placed. After turning on the system, the customer reported that the buzzing sound had stopped.
I was called to a home to fix a clogged condensate mini split. The system had been clogged before, but I was able to clear the clog and get the system draining as I left. However, I cannot guarantee that this won't happen again.
I was called out to a client's studio room to diagnose a Daikin mini split not working. Upon arrival, I found that the system was not responding to the remotes. I attempted to start the system using both the original remote and a new replacement remote, but neither worked. I then manually turned the system on using the ON/OFF button on the indoor head, and the blower kicked on briefly before shutting off, while the outdoor fan continued running. I then attempted to pair and reconnect both remotes to the indoor head, but neither remote was recognized. The indoor head was not sensing the signal from the remotes. Upon further inspection, I found that the indoor and outdoor PCB boards were faulty. I recommended replacing both the indoor and outdoor PCB boards to resolve the issue.
I was called to a home to address a system issue. The client reported that the system blows too hard, causing discomfort to her eyes, and the nanny reported that it was not cooling properly. Upon arrival, I found that the 2015 York package unit was set to fan only mode at the thermostat. The filter was extremely dirty, causing restriction and a whistling sound at the return intake. I called for cooling, and the system kicked on and began cooling. On a 72°F day, the system delivered a 16°F temperature split. The blower wheel was dirty, the condenser coils were dirty, and the electrical compartment was covered in dirt. I recommended performing a full system cleaning, including the blower wheel, condenser coils, and electrical compartment. I also recommended replacing the filter. The dining/front living room system had a refrigerant leak. I performed a nitrogen leak check to locate the leak and evaluate if it could be repaired or needed replacement. I added leak sealant and recharged
.
I am a highly skilled and experienced home service professional. I recently completed a job to fix a slope on a PVC drain line, blow out the drain line, and remove debris from the pan. The system is from 2006 and could have other issues, so I cannot guarantee that the problem won't return or that different issues may come up.
I performed a maintenance and safety inspection on a 2007 condenser located in the backyard. The compressor had a very hard start, and the filter was dirty. The capacitor was rated 60/5, but was testing at 20/5, which is critically below the required level. The disconnect box was broken, creating a safety hazard. The contactor was making a buzzing noise. I recommended replacing the compressor capacitor, adding hard start protection, replacing the contactor, and replacing the disconnect box with a broken pull-out handle.
I was called to a home to fix a vent that was not closing all the way. I arrived and found that the vent was not closing all the way due to a small adjustment that needed to be made. I made the adjustment and tested the vent, and it worked perfectly. I then tested it a few more times to ensure that it was working properly.
Jeremy Russell is fantastic. He diagnosed my problem and also discovered some leaks that could cause future problems. I feel is a trustworthy, smart, capable and is super friendly.
The technician was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail very well.
Juan Gongora was very knowledgeable and patient. He respected our home and was very neat and organized. He made sure we knew what was happening every step of the way. Highly recommend him and his services.
Juan is kind, courteous and capable - and hard-working! There was an issue with our air conditioning system suddenly creating more noise following the installation of a new filter, and Juan made a special service call the next day to rectify the problem, identifying the issue quickly. Juan goes the extra mile in an impressive way, always describing things carefully and fully and never rushing.
Awesome customer support
Great and friendly service!
The guy was great. Fixed the problem. Very cool dude.
When you envision the perfect technician you are envisioning Juan Gongora. He was SUPER thorough, SUPER professional. Went above and beyond to make sure we fully understood what was going on & that we were comfortable with everything needed to complete the job. Anyone we know needing A/C repairs will DEFINITELY be getting our referral to Juan.
Fernando Vasquez was amazing! Fixed the issue and gave a detailed explanation of what was being done. Offered solutions to avoid our issue in the future.
