Larry LaBrie Plumbing | Plumbing Services in Santa Monica, CA 90405

For the slow drains and buildup common in our coastal community, we start with a thorough inspection. We often find that sand, soap scum, and hair are the main culprits. Instead of just using harsh chemicals that can damage older Santa Monica pipes, we prefer mechanical methods like hydro-jetting to clear blockages completely and safely. For persistent issues, we can inspect your lines with a video camera to identify any underlying problems, like tree root intrusion or pipe corrosion, and recommend a lasting repair.

Yes, we do. Our advanced video camera technology is a key part of our diagnostic process for sewer line issues. This allows us to see inside your pipes in real-time, pinpointing the exact location and cause of a blockage or break without unnecessary digging. This method is especially valuable for older Santa Monica properties, as it helps us create a precise repair plan, saving you time, money, and disruption to your landscaping or driveway.

When it's time for a new water heater, we'll discuss your household's hot water needs, energy efficiency goals, and the physical space available. We install both traditional tank and modern tankless units. For Santa Monica homes, we consider factors like local water hardness and can recommend options like heat pump water heaters for greater efficiency. Our installation includes ensuring proper venting, water pressure, and compliance with all local codes, so you get reliable hot water and peace of mind.
