Q&A
What's the most common sewer issue you see in Burbank homes, and how do you fix it?
One of the most frequent issues for Burbank homeowners is tree root intrusion into sewer lines, which can cause slow drains or complete blockages. We address this first with a sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the exact problem. For root removal, we often use hydro jetting, a powerful, trenchless method that clears roots and debris without damaging the pipe. If the roots have caused significant damage, we can perform trenchless sewer replacement, which minimizes disruption to your yard and is a long-term solution. Our approach is to diagnose accurately and recommend the most effective, least invasive repair for your property.
My garbage disposal is making a strange noise. Can you repair it, or is replacement usually needed?
A noisy garbage disposal often indicates a jam or worn components, and repair is frequently possible. We'll first safely inspect the unit, clear any jams, and check the blades and motor. Many common issues, like a stuck impeller or a reset tripped by overload, are repairable on the spot. However, if the motor is burnt out or the unit is very old, replacement might be the more reliable and cost-effective choice. We’ll always give you an honest assessment and clear options, prioritizing a fix that gets your kitchen back in working order efficiently.
I need a new water heater installed. What does the process involve, and how long will it take?
Installing a new water heater is a multi-step process we handle from start to finish. It begins with assessing your home's needs—size, fuel type (gas or electric), and location—to recommend the right unit. On installation day, we'll safely disconnect and drain the old heater, prepare the new one, and ensure all connections for water, venting (for gas models), and pressure relief are secure and up to code. A typical standard replacement for an existing, accessible location usually takes about half a day. We'll test the unit thoroughly, explain its operation, and ensure you have hot water before we leave.
