Any time water is leaking, it's an emergency situation. A burst pipe is one big reason for major water damage. Shut the water off to your house immediately and call us at 310-372-3565.

Shut off the water and call us at 310-372-3565. Whenever an emergency strikes, turn off the closest water source as quickly as you can.

This valve is usually in the basement or on an outside wall in a utility area of the house. The main shutoff valve allows a full flow of water through the pipe when it's open. Turning off this valve (by turning it clockwise) cuts off the water supply to the entire house. For more information, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

If you think you have a leak in your home, there’s an easy way you can check. Go out to your water meter and record the level. Make sure no one uses any water for a few hours, then go back and check the meter again (it’s easiest to do this when everyone goes to bed, then check it again first thing in the morning). If the level has changed, you probably have a leak. We'll help you take care of it. Call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

Start by running very hot water down the drain to soften the clog, followed by a dollop of dish detergent and then more hot water. Wait a few minutes, and then use a plunger and repeat the hot water. If you still have no luck, give us a call at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

The main advantage is that they eliminate the extra cost of keeping 40 to 50 gallons of water hot in a storage tank, so you waste less energy. They also offer a continuous supply of hot water, which is ideal for filling a big hot tub or a whirlpool. Some of the leading manufacturers of tankless hot water heaters are Rheem, Navien, Rinnai and Noritz.

Water heaters often work perfectly for a decade or more without any care, so they're easy to neglect. But a few minutes of water heater maintenance once a year pays off by extending the tank's life span and maintaining your water heater's efficiency and safety. For more information, or to get your water heater serviced today, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

Based on the manufacturer's suggested service life, the life expectancy of a water heater is about 8 to 12 years. That varies with the location and design of the unit, quality of installation, maintenance schedule and water quality. For more information, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

Rumbling sounds coming from a water heater are an indication that sediment has built up on the bottom of the water heater. You may try draining a few gallons of water off the bottom of the water heater tank. This is done by attaching a drain hose to the valve at the bottom of the tank. For more information, or to arrange service, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

Roots are attracted to water vapor that escapes through cracks or loose joints in drain and sewer pipes. This means roots will move towards and penetrate through cracks, loose joints or any openings in sewer pipes. Once the roots get into the pipe, they feed off the water and began to grow inside the pipe. If you're concerned about roots on your property, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

Once enough water exits the toilet tank, the flapper drops back down, re-sealing the tank. However, if the flapper (or the valve seal) is cracked, water will keep seeping into your toilet bowl, causing it to run constantly. For more information or to get a running toilet fixed, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.​​​​​​​

Fibrous foods like celery, coffee grounds, asparagus, artichokes, chard, kale, lettuce, potato peelings, and onion skins should not be put down your garbage disposal unit. These items can easily entangle the blades causing it to jam. You also want to avoid putting pasta and rice down the garbage disposal as they expand when they’re exposed to water. Instead of risking jamming your garbage disposal, try composting these kinds of foods for your garden instead. For more information, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.

Low water pressure can be caused by many things. Simple problems like the shut-off valve being closed or a faucet being blocked can cause low water pressure. More serious issues like plumbing blockages or water leaks decrease water pressure too. For more information, call us at 310-372-3565 or email info@bidonplumbing.com.​​​​​​​
