Plumber in Laguna Woods

Serving Laguna Woods

Laguna Woods is bordered by Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach and Irvine, and Irvine is one of our 10 Orange County locations. Most homes in the city are inside Laguna Woods Village, a 55-plus community. Call at any hour, holidays included, and a person answers. The plumber who comes to your unit starts out from the nearest of our locations and explains what was found before any price is agreed, so nothing is done that you have not approved.

The census figures for Laguna Woods stand apart. Only 7 percent of its 13,336 housing units are single-family detached houses, and 90 percent were built before 1980, with a median year built of 1969. Nearly every home is a co-op or condo unit in a multi-unit building, and the typical building is now more than half a century old, so its drain lines, valves and water connections have all aged together.

Those buildings run on shared drain stacks. When a clog forms low in a stack, the units above keep draining normally while the water has nowhere to go but up into the lowest unit's tub, shower or floor drain. A slow kitchen sink might be a problem in your own branch line, or it might sit in the stack that several neighbors use, and telling the two apart comes first, because it decides who is responsible for the repair.

Part of the piping in these buildings belongs to the building's mutual or HOA rather than to the person living in the unit. Before any work inside a shared wall, we involve that owner, so the wall is opened with the right approval. Jobs that need a permit, such as a water heater replacement, a repipe or gas line work, go through the City of Laguna Woods; we obtain the permit, and it is closed when the inspector passes the work.

Laguna Woods sits next to Laguna Hills, Aliso Viejo, Laguna Beach and Irvine, all of which we serve as well. The plumber heads out from whichever of our locations is nearest. Someone picks up the phone day and night, the cause is found before anything gets opened up, and the price is settled in writing before the job begins.
