Roberts Plumbing | Qualified Plumbing Service in Simi Valley, CA

Signs of gas line corrosion in our area can include a sulfur or 'rotten egg' smell, hissing sounds near gas appliances, dead vegetation in your yard above the line, or higher-than-normal gas bills. Due to local soil conditions, corrosion is a real concern. Roberts Plumbing performs thorough, safe inspections using gas leak detectors. We recommend a professional inspection if your home is older or if you notice any of these warning signs to ensure your family's safety.

For earthquake preparedness, we recommend two key services. First, a whole-house plumbing inspection to identify vulnerable pipes, especially older rigid lines. Second, installing flexible earthquake-resistant connectors for your water heater and gas appliances, which can prevent ruptures during shaking. We also specialize in sump pump installation and repair to handle potential water intrusion after a quake. These proactive measures can prevent major water damage and gas leaks, common issues following seismic activity in our region.

Sewer line damage from ground movement is a frequent issue here. Roberts Plumbing offers trenchless sewer repair, a method that minimizes digging in your Simi Valley yard by relining the existing pipe. For severe breaks, traditional excavation and replacement may be necessary. We start with a video camera inspection to pinpoint the problem—whether it's a crack, offset joint from seismic shifting, or root intrusion—and then recommend the most efficient and long-lasting repair solution for your specific situation.
