Pacoima plumbing, 24/7

Pacoima plumbing you can count on We look first, then we fix.

Pacoima is a tight-knit East Valley neighborhood of postwar homes, many on modest lots, with busy shops and restaurants along Van Nuys Boulevard and Laurel Canyon Boulevard. A lot of the houses here have grown over time with added rooms and back units, all tied into original plumbing. We use a camera first so repairs match the real problem.

Local plumber, Pacoima

Pacoima plumbing often means old lines doing more work.

Most of Pacoima's single-family homes were built in the 1940s and 1950s, many of them small houses that families have expanded over generations. Bedrooms, bathrooms and back units added over the years usually connect to the original sewer lateral and water service. When more people use a line that was sized for a small household, older clay and cast iron pipe shows its age faster.

Van Nuys Boulevard through Pacoima is known for its murals and its mix of restaurants, markets and small businesses. Those storefronts need working restrooms, kitchen drains that stay clear of grease and water heaters that keep up with demand. Many of the buildings are older, so the plumbing behind the walls is too, and a clogged drain during a lunch rush costs a business real money.

Pacoima is part of the City of Los Angeles and gets its water from LADWP. Property owners are generally responsible for the sewer lateral running from the house to the public main. The neighborhood is flat in most places, so lines rely on proper slope, and a sag or offset joint in old pipe is enough to catch debris and start a cycle of clogs.

Flat terrain. Small sags in old pipe lead to repeat clogs.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. New Flow came out to my mothers house in Reseda and was able to clear the main line blockage. They were there within an hour and had very reasonable pricing. While there they identified another problem with the pipping(it is a 100 year old house lol) and came up with an option to replace some of the pipping.
Definitely will be using them again for any problems down in the valley.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Whenever something goes wrong at our North Hollywood condo property, Art answers the phone day or night, which is why New Flow Plumbing has handled our plumbing since the place was built. Just last week a huge problem hit at 10:00 pm with all the tenants stressing out, but they had someone walking through the door in twenty minutes to get it taken care of. They show up ready to work seven days a week for the small stuff and the emergencies alike, so I always know we are covered.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a sewage back up at a unit and Art was able to take care of my problem. Due to it being an older house it had quite significant problems (old piping, no clear out,etc). He took care of the clog, add clear out, and also discovered the toilets that were installed were incorrect ones since forever and replaced both toilets as well. He also gave me advice on what he would do with the current drainage problem and what he would do temporarily, and or the future for my piping. Was very reasonably priced. 100% satisfied with the service he provided.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Shower was way too cold. Looked at the tank and could tell it was completely done, so we reached out to New flow to fix the plumbing in Granada Hills. The tech got the new hot water heater put in and even cleaned up some sloppy copper fittings left behind from our previous remodel so everything lined up straight. He was wrapped up and out the door by 3p, and the hot water was running before he left.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Water was backing up into both my toilet and bathtub from a main line clog. A few plumbers gave weird replies, including one guy who threw out a random quote without even checking the pipes. I usually handle small things myself, but I needed real help here. Art came in and mapped out the whole line, running a camera to show me the blockages on the screen. He pushed past 60 feet clearing tree roots and debris, explaining the fix as he went. The final bill matched his quote. Thanks to them I can finally take a shower.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great work from the best plumbers in the valley. I had a pretty big job done. They replaced the main water pipe out to the street. It was completed on time and they kept me informed during the down time (waiting for the city to approve the permit.) I would use them again. They are pleasant to work with.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you need a reliable plumber in Valley Village, save their number right now. Our new tenants moved into our rental last weekend and immediately hit us with a no hot water text. Found New Flow on Google, liked what I saw on their page, and gave them a call.
Arman sent someone out just a few hours later. We looked at the old twenty year unit and agreed a full replacement made the most sense. They knocked it out the exact same day, saved my weekend, and kept the tenants happy. Already passed his name to a buddy of mine who hired him shortly after.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My parent's toilet was leaking and after messaging different places, I told my parents this place could fix our problem. Arman was the one who helped us out and after talking to him about a possible broken wax ring, he found the actual problem, roots in our pipes. He hydrojetted the roots and installed something to help keep the roots from growing for the next few years. So if you're have problems related to pipes, my family and I highly recommend coming here.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been calling New Flow for plumbing services ever since they warned us six years ago that our ancient drain pipes were on their last legs. When the system finally failed, we shopped around for bids on a full repipe. Every single plumber gave us quotes without stepping foot under the house, except them. The team crawled under there, filmed the pipes, and showed us that our water lines were still completely fine. Arman gave us a fair quote for just the drains, and his crew finished the work in one day. Hard to find contractors this upfront and genuine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I cannot compliment New Flow Plumbing enough. They were recommended by our selling real estate agent for a sewage line inspection. They came out quickly, and Arman was very professional and polite right away. He was able to service the sewage line, provide thorough, expert knowledge, and give us recommendations. The pricing is excellent and fair, and I would definitely recommend using their services again. The HD video was provided for our own viewing, and it was emailed to us within hours of the visit. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

5 stars does not do it justice.

Thanks again!!

The original sewer lateral may be too small, too old or poorly sloped for the extra flow. Long drain runs from rear units can also clog easily. A camera inspection shows where the problem is and whether a repair or upgrade is needed.

It can be, especially for larger households that run out of hot water. Tankless units need the right gas supply and venting, so we check those in your Pacoima home before recommending one over a larger tank. Sometimes a bigger tank is the simpler choice.

We send a camera through your sewer line, record the footage and explain what it shows. The $199 price is offered to eligible properties, and we confirm whether yours qualifies when you schedule. It is a simple way to learn what is behind a recurring clog.

Yes. We handle commercial plumbing along Van Nuys Boulevard and throughout Pacoima, including grease-clogged drains, restroom repairs and water heaters, plus care plans for regular maintenance. Scheduled cleanings help restaurants avoid backups during their busiest hours.
