What Northridge Homeowners Call Us About

Years of local experience means we know what to expect in Northridge.

Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow

Learn more

Many Northridge tract homes built in the 1950s-70s still have original galvanized plumbing that's now corroding and restricting water flow. These aging pipes commonly develop pinhole leaks and cause brown or discolored water throughout homes in neighborhoods like Sherwood Forest and Northridge East.

Water heater making popping or rumbling noises

Learn more

LADWP's moderately hard water accelerates sediment buildup in water heater tanks throughout Northridge. This mineral accumulation creates popping and rumbling sounds, particularly common in garage-mounted units typical of ranch-style homes in the area.

Tree root intrusion in sewer lines

Learn more

Mature landscaping throughout Northridge neighborhoods creates persistent root intrusion problems in aging sewer lines. Eucalyptus and oak trees common in areas near Chatsworth Reservoir are particularly aggressive in seeking water sources through underground pipes.

Slab leak causing foundation concerns

Learn more

Post-war ranch homes throughout Northridge are built on concrete slab foundations where water lines were embedded directly in concrete. As these copper lines age and shift with ground movement, they develop leaks that can cause significant foundation damage if not detected early.
