What Mar Vista Homeowners Call Us About
Every area has its quirks. These are the issues we handle regularly in Mar Vista.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Mar Vista's 1940s-1960s tract homes often have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These aging pipes restrict water flow and cause discolored water throughout Del Rey and Palms area neighborhoods.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
LADWP's moderately hard water causes sediment buildup in water heaters throughout Mar Vista. The mineral deposits create popping sounds and reduce efficiency, especially common in the area's mid-century homes.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Mature street trees along Grandview Boulevard and throughout Mar Vista's established neighborhoods send roots into aging cast iron sewer lines. This causes recurring backups and requires professional root removal.
Low water pressure throughout the house
Learn more
Post-war homes in Mar Vista often experience low water pressure from corroded galvanized pipes and mineral buildup. The flat terrain helps, but aging infrastructure from the 1940s-1960s era needs attention.
