Question Answers
What should I do if I have a clogged drain or suspect an outdoor irrigation leak in my LA home?
For clogged drains, avoid harsh chemical cleaners that can damage older LA pipes; a professional inspection can identify the cause, whether it's tree roots or buildup. For suspected irrigation leaks, which are common in our climate and can waste significant water, we perform a thorough inspection of your outdoor system to locate and repair the leak efficiently, helping you conserve water and prevent foundation issues.
What does a plumbing inspection from Cowden Plumbing involve?
Our residential plumbing inspection is a comprehensive check of your home's water and sewer systems. We examine pipes for leaks or corrosion, test water pressure, inspect fixtures and water heaters (including tankless models), and assess drainage. For LA homes, we pay special attention to common local issues like aging pipe materials and outdoor irrigation lines, providing you with a clear, prioritized report and honest recommendations.
Can you handle both repair and installation for my home's HVAC system?
Yes, we specialize in residential HVAC services, from diagnosing and repairing heating issues to installing new systems. As a family business with a focus on practical and environmentally conscious solutions, we can advise on efficient options suitable for Los Angeles homes, ensuring your system runs reliably through our varied local weather while managing energy use.
