My Whittier home has old pipes. What are my options for a whole-house repipe?
Many Whittier homes have aging plumbing that can lead to low water pressure or frequent leaks.

As a licensed contractor (#1018463) with over a decade of experience, we plan the project to minimize disruption and ensure your home's water system is reliable for years to come.

Do you handle emergency plumbing repairs in Whittier?
Yes, we offer 24/7 emergency service for Whittier residents. Whether it's a burst pipe, a severe sewer backup, or a malfunctioning water heater, our team is ready to respond. With extensive experience in both repair and new construction, we can quickly diagnose and fix the problem to prevent further damage to your home, adhering to strict industry standards on every call.
What should I do if I suspect tree roots are damaging my sewer line?
Tree root intrusion is a common issue in Whittier due to our mature landscaping. Signs include slow drains, gurgling sounds, or sewage backups. We recommend a professional plumbing inspection. Starboard Plumbing can use a camera to inspect your sewer line, confirm the issue, and discuss repair options—which may range from cutting the roots to repairing or replacing the affected section of pipe. Addressing this early can prevent more extensive and costly damage.
