Archi’s Plumbing - Los Angeles's Local Plumber

A frequent issue we encounter in LA is tree root intrusion into sewer lines, especially in older neighborhoods. The roots seek out water and can crack pipes, causing major blockages and backups. We address this by first conducting a thorough video camera inspection to locate the exact problem. Depending on the severity, we can clear the roots with a hydro-jetter or, if the pipe is damaged, perform a trenchless pipe repair to reline it from the inside, which is less invasive than traditional excavation.

A leak from the bottom of a garbage disposal typically indicates a seal failure, which often requires a full unit replacement rather than a repair. We can quickly diagnose the issue for you. If a replacement is needed, we handle the installation safely and properly, including disconnecting the old unit, ensuring correct electrical and plumbing connections for the new one, and checking for any leaks. We'll advise you on the best course of action to get your kitchen functioning again without unnecessary expense.

A professional plumbing inspection is a smart preventative measure, especially in our area. It can identify small problems—like a worn dishwasher hose connection, a common source of leaks under sinks—before they cause significant water damage. For older homes, an inspection can assess the condition of pipes and sewer lines for potential root intrusion or corrosion. We provide a clear assessment of your system's health, helping you plan for maintenance and avoid unexpected, costly emergencies down the line.
