Terrible. Needs new equipment. Quoted me 900 and another plumber came and did the job for 85. The other plumber solved the issue in 10 minutes. Plus he got here late and was on his phone even though we needed the job done asap.
Had an emergency plumbing issue and called Eric, the best plumber in La Crescenta. He showed up quickly, was very professional, and even took care of a water heater repair while he was here. Great service, highly recommend.
From older pipes to local water conditions, we've seen it all across San Marino.
San Marino's pre-1960s estates often have original galvanized steel pipes that have corroded over decades. The moderately hard water accelerates this corrosion, leading to restricted flow and discolored water throughout these historic properties.
The mineral content in San Marino's water supply causes significant sediment buildup in water heaters, especially in older homes near Huntington Library and Lacy Park. This sediment creates popping sounds as the unit heats up and reduces efficiency over time.
San Marino's mature oak and pepper trees, particularly in established neighborhoods around Sierra Madre Boulevard, create persistent root intrusion problems in older sewer laterals. These roots seek moisture and can completely block clay and cast iron lines.
Many San Marino homes experience declining water pressure due to mineral deposits accumulating in aging copper pipes and corroded galvanized systems. This is especially common in properties built during the post-war expansion of the 1940s-1950s.
