Pasadena Plumbing Problems We Solve
Local homes face unique challenges. Here's what we see most often in Pasadena.
Galvanized pipes corroding and restricting flow
Learn more
Many of Pasadena's Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes from the 1920s-1940s still have original galvanized pipes that are now severely corroded. These pipes create rust-colored water, low pressure, and frequent leaks throughout neighborhoods like Bungalow Heaven and San Rafael.
Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
Learn more
Pasadena's mature street trees and lush landscaping create ongoing root intrusion problems in aging clay sewer lines. Neighborhoods with established trees like Altadena and Linda Vista experience frequent drain backups and blockages from aggressive root systems.
Water heater making popping or rumbling noises
Learn more
Pasadena's moderately hard water causes sediment buildup in water heaters, creating popping and rumbling sounds as the unit heats water. This is especially common in older homes where water heaters work harder due to mineral-rich water from the local supply.
Low water pressure throughout the house
Learn more
Corroded galvanized pipes in Pasadena's pre-war homes restrict water flow, creating poor pressure throughout the house. Combined with mineral buildup from hard water, many historic properties in Old Pasadena and surrounding areas experience significant pressure loss.
