OG Plumbing | Professional Plumbing Company in Los Angeles, CA

Low water pressure in Los Angeles can stem from several issues, including old galvanized pipes corroding from the inside, pressure regulator failures, or even hidden leaks exacerbated by drought conditions. We start with a thorough inspection of your entire system, checking pressure at multiple points and using specialized tools to locate blockages or leaks. Depending on the cause, solutions can range from cleaning aerators and showerheads to replacing sections of pipe or installing a pressure-boosting system. We focus on durable repairs that address the root cause, helping you conserve water and restore proper flow.

It depends on the source and severity of the leak. Often, leaks come from worn seals or a loose connection at the sink flange or dishwasher inlet, which are straightforward repairs. If the leak is coming from the unit's body itself, it typically indicates a crack and requires replacement. Our technicians will first disconnect the unit, inspect all connection points, and identify the exact cause. We'll clearly explain your options and the associated costs. If a new installation is the most reliable solution, we ensure it's done correctly with proper alignment and a tight seal to prevent future issues.

A comprehensive plumbing inspection involves checking all visible and accessible components of your water supply, drainage, and gas systems. We assess pipe condition (looking for corrosion common in older homes), test water pressure, check for leaks, inspect water heaters, and ensure all fixtures and valves are operating safely. For older Los Angeles homes, these inspections are crucial for identifying problems like deteriorating galvanized pipes, which can affect water quality and pressure, or sewer line issues before they lead to a major backup. It provides peace of mind and can help you plan proactive maintenance, potentially saving money on emergency repairs later.
