Can you fix the sewer at my Toluca Lake home without digging up the garden?

In many cases, yes. Pipe lining and pipe bursting need only small access points. Whether trenchless is possible depends on the pipe's condition and layout, which a camera inspection confirms before we recommend a method.

My Toluca Lake house still has original cast iron. Is that a problem?

Not necessarily, but cast iron of that age often has internal scale, cracks or thin spots. A camera inspection of the drains shows how much life is left and whether a section needs replacement now or can wait until a planned remodel.

How does the $199 camera inspection work on a large lot?

We run the camera through the full length of the lateral we can reach, record the footage and mark any problem spots. The $199 special applies to eligible properties, and we confirm eligibility when you call to schedule.

Do you serve businesses on Riverside Drive in Toluca Lake?

Yes. We provide commercial plumbing for restaurants, offices and shops, including drain cleaning, restroom repairs and water heater service. For kitchens that see heavy grease, we can set up a care plan with regular maintenance visits.

Plumber Toluca Lake: Sewer, Leaks, Repairs

Toluca Lake plumbing for classic homes Careful work on older systems.

Toluca Lake is a small, established neighborhood of traditional homes built largely in the 1920s through the 1940s, set around a private lake and Lakeside Golf Club near Riverside Drive. These houses are prized for their age and craftsmanship, and their plumbing is often just as old. We use camera inspections and trenchless options to protect the property while fixing the pipe.

Toluca Lake homes deserve a careful approach.

Many Toluca Lake houses are Colonial, Spanish and English style homes on generous lots, often with original cast iron drains inside and clay sewer laterals running out to the street. After close to a century of use, those lines can be cracked, scaled or invaded by roots. Because so many of these properties have been carefully restored, owners want repairs that do not disturb mature gardens, hardscape and historic details.

Large sycamores, oaks and other mature trees shade much of Toluca Lake. Their roots spread widely and find their way into old sewer joints. A long lateral on a big lot also means more pipe to fail, and the trouble spot may be far from the house. Camera footage with locating equipment pinpoints the problem so digging, if needed, happens in one small spot.

Toluca Lake is within the City of Los Angeles and LADWP supplies the water. Property owners are generally responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the public main. Riverside Drive also brings restaurants and offices close to the residential streets, and those businesses need dependable drains and restrooms as much as the homes behind them. Grease and heavy restroom use are the usual culprits there.

Services Toluca Lake homeowners rely on.

Toluca Lake owners tend to favor repairs that protect the house and grounds, so diagnosis and trenchless methods come up in most conversations.

01
Sewer camera inspection
A camera run through a Toluca Lake lateral shows the condition of century-old pipe and pinpoints any damage, so decisions are based on footage, not assumptions.
Learn more
02
Pipe bursting
When an old lateral is beyond lining, pipe bursting replaces it along the same path with small access pits, sparing Toluca Lake gardens and driveways.

03
Leak detection
In older Toluca Lake homes with plaster walls and finished floors, finding a leak precisely means opening as little wall or floor as possible during the repair and keeping restoration simple.

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.

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.

Michael

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ava Lamison

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.

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.

Chloe

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!!
