Why Altadena Residents Call Us
Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Altadena.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many of Altadena's Craftsman homes and pre-1960s properties still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard water from Pasadena Water and Power accelerates this corrosion, leading to restricted flow and rusty water throughout Christmas Tree Lane and Woodbury Road neighborhoods.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Altadena's mature oak and sycamore trees, particularly in established neighborhoods like the Triangle and Palm Street areas, frequently send roots into aging clay sewer pipes. The hillside terrain and seasonal watering patterns make root intrusion one of the most common sewer issues we encounter.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
The moderately hard water in Altadena causes significant sediment buildup in water heater tanks, especially in older units. Homes in the Chaney Trail and East Altadena areas frequently experience these noises as mineral deposits create hot spots and inefficient heating.
Slab leak causing foundation concerns
Learn more
Altadena's hillside properties and homes built on concrete slabs are particularly susceptible to slab leaks. The elevation changes and soil movement common in areas near Eaton Canyon can cause pipes to shift and leak beneath foundations, requiring immediate professional attention.
