Local knowledge

What makes plumbing in the San Fernando Valley different.

The San Fernando Valley grew fast after World War II, and much of its housing still carries the plumbing of that era. Vitrified clay sewer laterals with joints that roots can enter, copper or galvanized water lines, and slab-on-grade foundations are the norm in neighborhoods like Van Nuys, Reseda, North Hollywood and Panorama City.

South of Ventura Blvd, hillside homes in Sherman Oaks, Encino, Studio City and Tarzana add long, sloped laterals that often run under retaining walls and driveways, where trenchless repair saves the most. In the northeast Valley, Sunland, Tujunga and Sylmar sit against the foothills with their own mix of older and newer homes.

Almost all Valley communities we serve are City of Los Angeles neighborhoods served by LADWP, where property owners are generally responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the public main. San Fernando is an independent city with its own rules.

  • Clay sewer laterals. Root intrusion is the most common Valley sewer problem.
  • Slab leaks. Copper lines under post-war slab foundations.
  • Hillside lines. Long, sloped laterals south of Ventura Blvd.
