JLM Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Northridge, CA 91325

Common signs in Northridge include slow drains, gurgling sounds from toilets, and frequent backups, especially in older homes with mature trees. We use a sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the exact location and severity of the root intrusion. Our repair services can range from high-pressure hydro-jetting to clear the roots to a more permanent trenchless pipe repair or replacement, minimizing disruption to your yard.

Absolutely. In areas of Northridge prone to heavy rains and potential storm drain overload, a properly installed and maintained sump pump is a critical line of defense. It collects groundwater around your foundation and pumps it away from your home, significantly reducing the risk of basement flooding and water damage. We can assess your property's needs and install a reliable sump pump system with a battery backup for peace of mind during power outages.

In Northridge, backups during or after storms often point to a problem with the main sewer line or a overwhelmed municipal system. While it could be a clog, it's frequently related to stormwater infiltration or pre-existing issues like cracks or root intrusion that get exposed under pressure. We recommend a professional plumbing inspection and camera survey of your main line to diagnose the true cause and recommend a lasting repair, such as sewer repair or installation of a backwater valve.
