When should I call a plumber instead of fixing it myself?

Small jobs like a slow faucet drip or a clog that clears with a plunger are fair game for a homeowner. Call us when the problem keeps coming back or gets bigger: a leak you can’t trace, water pressure that has dropped throughout the house, a drain that stays blocked after plunging, a water heater that runs cold or makes noise, sewage odors or backups, or anything behind a wall or under a slab. Those usually need a camera inspection, a power snake or hydro-jetting equipment to fix properly, and guessing can turn a small repair into a big one.

How often should my plumbing be serviced?

Once a year is a good rhythm for most homes. A yearly visit typically covers clearing the main drains before they clog, flushing sediment out of the water heater so it lasts longer, checking supply lines and fixtures for slow leaks, and inspecting older pipes for corrosion. Homes with mature trees near the sewer line or a water heater past its eighth year may benefit from a check every six months. We’ll put together a maintenance schedule that fits your property and budget. Call (855) 331-7788.

How do you clear a blocked main sewer line?

The main line carries everything from your home’s drains out to the city sewer or septic tank, so when it blocks, every fixture in the house is affected. In Los Angeles County the usual culprits are tree roots that have pushed into older clay or cast-iron pipe, and years of grease and debris buildup. We start with a video camera inspection to see exactly where and what the blockage is, then clear it with a motorized drain snake for roots and solid obstructions, or hydro-jetting (high-pressure water that scours the pipe walls clean) for grease and scale. If the camera shows a broken or collapsed section, we’ll show you the footage and explain the repair options before any work starts.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. Hard Hat Rooter and Plumbing holds California Contractors State License #981593 and is fully insured. Every plumber on our team is background-checked and drug-tested before they’re hired.

Can you come out the same day?

Usually, yes. We run fully stocked trucks out of Burbank and keep crews on call around the clock, so most calls in Los Angeles County get a same-day visit. For an active leak or a sewer backup, tell us when you call and we’ll prioritize it.
