What Are The Most Common Plumbing Issues In Glendale?

Glendale, CA is a city of about 200,000 residents that can be viewed almost as a satellite city to the booming metropolis that is Los Angeles, CA. As such, Glendale benefits from and suffers from many of the same issues that any major metropolitan area might see in terms of plumbing. That is to say that residents of Glendale are potentially susceptible to issues such as overuse of the plumbing facilities, general wear and tear on the system, bureaucratic hurdles to cross, and common leaks. Each of these problems is an annoyance, but not something that can’t be overcome with our help. 

We firmly believe that the top-notch plumbing services that we offer can help save our customers money on their plumbing issues. The city of Glendale itself has put out publicly available information regarding how some minor leak fixes can save residents money on their water bills. What begins as a small leak today can transform into something more serious down the road. 

Given the large population of the area and the general politics of the state of California, large bureaucracies exist to control the water usage in the city. It is important to understand the certain regulations must be followed on any plumbing project in Glendale, and not every company is as aware of those regulations as we are. We always strive to ensure that we follow all necessary state and local regulations to provide the best (and most lawful) experience possible. 

We always strive to keep costs low for our customers despite the myriad of regulations and challenges that we face as an industry. We still want a happy customer who paid a reasonable rate for the service that they received. The exact cost of an individual’s plumbing service in Glendale will depend upon the extent of the work performed as there are hourly rates associated with this, but there will generally be a service call-out fee of between $79-$99 to begin the service. Remember to factor that in along with our hourly rate to get a rough approximation of the cost of the service. Naturally, we are happy to work up a free estimate for any customer before they agree to the service. 

How Does The Water In Glendale Affect Your Plumbing?

Water of any kind moving through pipes has a corrosive impact on those pipes no matter what kind of pipes they are and no matter what quality the water is. That isn’t to say that all water in every city has the same impact on the plumbing as ever other city.

Vox reported in 2015 that California faced a major water crisis in part due to the types of crops being grown in the state. It turns out that valuable crops such as almonds are highly popular consumer products, but they are also a major drain on the water supply in the state. Many people have taken to eating almonds for their health benefits. Plenty of others enjoy products such as almond milk which is an alternative to the dairy milk that so many of us were accustomed to from years gone by. Thus, Glendale and other areas of California have to be on high alert for water shortages in their area. These could be irritated even further if someone in Glendale also has a plumbing problem on top of these other concerns. As such, it is best to prepare for this type of scenario before it gets to your front doorstep. 

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in Glendale?

The cost of plumbing in Glendale breaks down based on a variety of factors that are significant to the area. However, most jobs cost between $150 and $650. It is important to understand how some ingredients go into forming the total cost of a plumbing job. 

Size And Type Of Building

The type of building receiving plumbing work as well as the size of that building matter. The way that the plumbing is set up in a house is much different from how it is set up in an office building for example. The reasons for the differences all come down to the expected usage of that plumbing. An office building will have near-constant use of the plumbing facilities in some form or fashion. However, a single-family home may see many hours of dormant plumbing. Our plumbers know this and work to set up appropriate structures for each type of building ahead of time. 

Time Frame For Repair 

A client requiring faster service for their plumbing repair or installation should be prepared to pay additional funds to make it happen. Our plumbers are busy people, and they have to charge higher figures for those who demand to be put at the front of the line. Glendale is a very populated city, and there is plenty of demand for our plumbing services. Those who come to our plumbers with major demands on their time will end up spending additional funds to make that happen on their schedule. 

Regulations

There are regulations that govern how plumbing may be done in the city of Glendale. Building codes are strictly enforced, and they are updated on a regular basis. The local government in Glendale sets the rules for this in accordance with existing California state regulations as well. Some regulations can be burdensome, and that can add to the cost of a plumbing job. 

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money In Glendale?

Simply put, better plumbing can absolutely save you money in the city of Glendale. It is such an important point that the federal government has put out guidance about how much fixing even small leaks in plumbing can save the average citizen. The Department of Energy had this to say: 

A leak of one drip per second can cost $1 per month. That may not seem like much, but this drip calculator from the American Water Works Association puts it into perspective: at 60 drips per minute, you waste 8.64 gallons per day, 259 gallons per month, and just over 3,153 gallons per year. That is a LOT of good, clean water just going to waste!

These leaks not only contribute to an increased water bill for the individual consumer, but it adds to the existing water shortage problems that have occurred all throughout the state. This compiles upon itself and continues to add pressure to water prices in California. 

When Should You Call The Water Utility Company In Glendale Vs Hire a Plumber?

Many customers are curious about when it is appropriate to call their utility provider versus when they should call to hire our plumbers to help fix up a leaking pipe situation. The truth is that both entities will likely need to be called, but they should be called in order. 

The first sign of a potential leak for a customer may only come when they receive their utility bill for that month. An unexpected major spike upward may be the tell-tale sign of a leaking pipe situation. This is the time when the customer should contact the utility board and report what has happened. It is critical for the customer to remain calm during this time and explain their situation to the utility board reasonably. Emotions might run high after seeing an oversized utility bill, but the customer should understand that he or she is likely not going to be responsible for paying that full amount if there is a leak in their plumbing.

The Glendale customer should offer to hire a plumber like Mr. Blue Plumbing to help fix the leak that they are currently combating. The point of this being to show the utility board that they fully intend to get this taken care of in a timely manner. Our plumber can handle the situation and the customer can send an invoice to the utility board to show where they have fixed the leak. The board should offer a statement credit or reimbursement for the excessive charges at that time. 

Our plumbers should be called once the leak is identified so that we can get to work sourcing where the leak is coming from and how we can combat the situation. Our plumber can also provide an estimate at that time and can provide the invoice at the end of the service to show to the utility board. 

MrBluePlumbing is the choice to go for in this situation (and indeed for any plumbing needs). This is because our experts are professional and upfront about their charges and service. You will receive a free initial estimate based on the nature of the problem you are facing, and our experts are more than happy to walk you through each step of the process that they will go through to fix the issue. They want to provide as much detail as you require to provide to the utility board every scrap of information you need to show that the problem was fixed properly.

We have fast and friendly service with flexible scheduling. Most important of all, the staff of MrBluePlumbing have extensive training and experience when it comes to handling any plumbing issue that you can imagine. We get the job done right the first time so that you don’t have to think about it any longer.

When Do You Need Permits For Plumbing Service in Glendale?

Plumbing permits are required by the city of Glendale when new plumbing is being installed in a building that will be used for habitation, for housing employees (i.e. a workplace), or for as a medical facility/non-profit entity. The city provides a permit application online for anyone to use when they are going to install new plumbing. This application provides a breakdown of the charges that the city collects in order to receive the proper permits to get the work done. 

Any plumbing work done without these permits is being conducted illegally, and work done illegally can result in major fines well above and beyond the cost of obtaining the permit in the first place. It is essential to obtain the proper permits before any work project begins.
