North Hills, any hour

Your North Hills plumbing and sewer team Camera first, no guesswork.

North Hills, known as Sepulveda until 1991, stretches along Sepulveda Boulevard and the 405 corridor in the northern Valley. Its mix of postwar single-family homes, condos and apartment complexes means plumbing systems of very different ages sit side by side. New Flow Plumbing starts every sewer job by looking inside the line, so the fix matches the pipe.

Local plumber, North Hills

North Hills plumbing covers houses and complexes alike.

On the west and north sides of North Hills, quiet streets of single-story ranch homes from the 1950s and 1960s sit on mostly flat land. Many still have original sewer laterals and galvanized or copper supply lines. Mature trees planted in front yards and parkways have had decades to grow roots toward those pipes, and slow drains or gurgling toilets are usually the first sign.

Closer to Sepulveda Boulevard, Plummer Street and Nordhoff Street, the neighborhood is denser, with apartment buildings, condo complexes and retail centers. These properties have long shared sewer runs, common water heaters or boilers, and drain stacks that serve several floors. A single failure can affect many residents, so HOA boards and property managers need clear information on what is wrong and what it will take to fix.

North Hills is part of the City of Los Angeles and is served by LADWP. Property owners are generally responsible for the sewer lateral running from the building to the public main. For condo associations, the split between owner and association responsibility depends on the governing documents, which is one more reason to have camera footage before deciding who pays for what.

  • Ranch homes. Original laterals and street trees cause recurring root clogs.
  • Condos and HOAs. Shared lines need clear camera documentation.
  • Apartments. Busy drain stacks and common water heaters wear faster.

It depends on the association's governing documents and where the damage is. Camera footage that shows the exact location of the problem helps owners and HOA boards sort out responsibility before work is approved. We can explain the footage to the board in plain language.

Common signs include a water bill that rises without explanation, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on the floor or damp flooring. Leak detection tools can confirm and locate the leak without guesswork.

For older homes it usually is. The footage shows whether the lateral has roots, cracks or sags that would be costly later. The $199 rate applies to eligible properties, and we confirm eligibility when you book.

Our phones are answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call us with what is happening, and we will walk you through shutting off water if needed, help you limit the damage and arrange service for your North Hills home or building.
