- Clear price first
- 24/7 dispatch
Our work falls into two groups. Emergency services are the ones where waiting makes the damage worse, such as a burst pipe or a sewer backup. Planned services, like a tankless upgrade or a repipe, are scheduled for a time that suits you.

Emergency serviceEmergency or planned: which service fits
Use this to match what you are seeing with the right service page. If you are unsure, the dispatcher can help you decide.
| What you see | Likely service | Urgency |
|---|---|---|
| Water spraying or pooling from a pipe | Burst pipe repair | Emergency, shut the main first |
| Sink, tub or floor drain backing up | Drain cleaning or sewer line cleaning | Emergency if more than one fixture |
| Water bill climbing, damp floor, warm spot | Leak detection or slab leak repair | Soon, an unseen leak costs money daily |
| Cold showers or a leaking tank | Water heater repair or replacement | Emergency if the tank is leaking |
| Repeated clogs, roots, old clay or cast iron | Sewer camera inspection | Planned, within days |
| Old pipes, low pressure, rusty water | Repiping | Planned |
| Scale, spots, hard water | Softener and filtration | Planned |
Not every row is urgent. Where we mark a job as planned, we offer same-day appointments when available, and otherwise a time that suits you.
How we choose between repair and replacement
A repair is usually right when the fault is local, such as a worn flapper, a failed supply stop or a single pinhole in copper. Replacement makes sense when the same part keeps failing or when the equipment is at the end of its life, like a tank that is leaking through the shell.
We lay out both options with the price of each before we start, so you can compare. Hydro jetting, for example, clears grease and scale from a line but cannot fix a collapsed pipe, which is where a camera and a repair come in.
Why local conditions matter
Manhattan Beach water is a blend of groundwater and imported surface water, and the City's 2023 Annual Water Quality Report puts groundwater hardness at an average of 392 mg/L. Hard water shortens the life of heating elements and tankless exchangers, which is why a tankless water heater often needs descaling.
Salt air near The Strand corrodes outdoor valves and fittings, and hillside homes can see higher pressure at the bottom of the slope. We take these things into account when we recommend parts.
Homes, rentals and businesses
We work in single-family homes, condos, rentals and commercial buildings. Landlords and managers can arrange work with an owner's approval, and shops and offices can request visits outside business hours. For commercial sites, see commercial plumbing.
We also serve nearby towns. Check Redondo Beach or Hermosa Beach for what applies there.
