Van Nuys Plumbing Problems We Solve
Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Van Nuys.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Van Nuys's 1950s-1960s homes often have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. The moderately hard LADWP water accelerates this corrosion, causing low pressure and rusty water throughout these post-war tract homes.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
The moderately hard water from LADWP creates significant sediment buildup in water heaters, especially in Van Nuys's older homes. This sediment causes popping sounds as the heating elements work through mineral deposits, particularly common in original units from the post-war building boom.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Van Nuys's mature street trees and landscaping, planted during the area's development in the 1950s-60s, now have extensive root systems that infiltrate aging cast iron sewer lines. The valley's stable soil conditions allow roots to spread widely toward water sources.
Low water pressure throughout the house
Learn more
Homes throughout Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, and Panorama City experience pressure issues due to mineral deposits in aging galvanized pipes. The moderately hard LADWP water compounds this problem by creating scale buildup in pipes installed during the post-war construction era.
