Plumbing Company Los Angeles CA | Call Marathon Plumbing Heating & Air

Absolutely. A running toilet from a faulty fill or flapper valve is a common issue in LA homes that significantly increases your water bill. Our technicians will perform a precise repair to stop the leak immediately. As part of our thorough plumbing inspection service, we'll also check connected lines, the flush mechanism, and look for any signs of wear or minor leaks in the bathroom that could lead to bigger problems, ensuring a complete fix.

For minor buildup from soap and hair, a plunger or a DIY drain snake might provide temporary relief. However, if the clog is recurrent or water drains very slowly, it often indicates a deeper blockage in the P-trap or drain line that requires professional tools. Our plumbing repair service includes using motorized drain augers and high-pressure water jetting to clear stubborn blockages completely. For severe cases or older homes, a plumbing inspection can identify if pipe corrosion or bellies in the line are the root cause, which may require pipe replacement to prevent future backups.

A hot water recirculation pump is a smart upgrade that provides instant hot water at your faucets, eliminating the wait and the wasted water that runs down the drain. This is especially helpful in larger LA homes. By reducing the strain of constant hot/cold cycles on your plumbing system and water heater, it can help minimize wear on valves and connections, potentially preventing leaks. It also improves the efficiency of your water heater, whether it's a traditional tank or a tankless model we install or repair, saving you money on both water and energy bills.
