What Are the Most Common Plumbing Issues in West Hollywood?

Living in such a glamorous place is fun. Some things aren’t so glamorous, however, like taking care of your home’s plumbing. Here are some common plumbing issues to be on the lookout for that can save you money.

Clogged Pipes and Mineral Buildup

West Hollywood has a subtropical semi-arid climate, so you don’t have to worry about major rainfalls messing up your plumbing. It’s usually the opposite problem; you don’t have enough rainfall.

Because of this, much of the water used in West Hollywood is pulled from the ground. This contains minerals such as calcium and magnesium, which is why the water is considered to be hard. 

As water flows through your pipes, minerals get deposited over time, clogging pipes and reducing water flow. Mineral buildup will also be visible on plumbing fixtures, dishes, and other surfaces.

Water Heater Problems

Water heater problems are usually brought about by the water quality. As hard water is heated within the tank, mineral deposits are left behind. As they pile up, a surface is created within the tank that makes it less efficient at heating water. 

This mineral buildup within the tank can also prevent heat from escaping the tank at the rate that it was designed to, causing it to overheat.

How Does the Water in West Hollywood Affect Your Plumbing?

As discussed above, hard water is not good for your pipes because it leads to mineral buildup (clogged pipes) and may reduce water flow. It makes cleaning fixtures more difficult and may even cause permanent damage to appliances like heaters, dishwashers, and washing machines.

Hard water can affect your plumbing by making soap and detergent less efficient and more difficult to dissolve. A sign that you have hard water is streaky or cloudy glasses when you pull them out of the dishwasher.

How Much Does Plumbing Usually Cost in West Hollywood?

Plumbing services in West Hollywood isn’t that expensive. At the lower end of the scale, you’ll be looking at $119.99. The average price is $493. Some homeowners have paid up to $868 for the more expensive jobs. The price can be much higher than this, however, once you take into consideration the permits, inspection and building fees, sales tax, and general contractor fees. This can add another $59.16-$73.95 to the final cost.

Time of Day

The exact time you need our service can play a role in how much you’ll pay. We usually charge an extra fee for emergency calls. This is especially true on major holidays. For late-night calls or weekends, the price will often increase. Because of this, it’s important to give us a call when you begin to suspect there is a problem, rather than wait until it’s unavoidable. This will help catch the problems before they become an emergency and save you money in the long run.

Parts 

There are a few things that don’t require parts, like a leaky faucet that can be fixed with a wrench. That’s not always the case, though. More often than not, you’ll have to pay extra money for the required parts. We may have these with us, especially if we have a good idea of what your plumbing issues are before we arrive. Some parts might have to be ordered, especially if the pipes you have in your home are no longer being produced. If the parts have to be shipped, this will increase the price.

Extent of Damage

Some jobs are small and will require little work to fix. Plugging up a leak that has just started won’t cost that much. On the other hand, if the problem is in the sewer line located on your property, this might require a little digging. There are also some cases when part of the wall must be cut out to get to a specific pipe. If this is the case, we may not repair the wall, so you’ll be looking at the plumbing repair bill plus the cost of wall repair once the work is completed.

Can Better Plumbing Save You Money in West Hollywood?

Absolutely. Basic maintenance can save you money by fixing a problem while it’s still small. A leaky faucet may not be that big of a deal, but it can end up costing you a lot of money when it rots outboards, draws in pests, and damages your home. 

Faulty plumbing can also be hazardous to your health. If your pipes are rusting and you’re drinking lead or other contaminants, it can cause a wide range of symptoms such as cardiovascular problems, increased blood pressure, decreased kidney function, and premature birth in women who are pregnant. It’s especially harmful to young children. The safest level of lead in your water is 0, according to the CDC. While rust may look unsightly, it’s not toxic to your health, just bad on your skin and hair.

When Should You Call the Water Utility Company in West Hollywood Vs Hire a Plumber?

There are only a few occasions when you’ll need to call the water utility company in West Hollywood, such as a flooding fire hydrant or problems in the sewers. This can become a little confusing because if the problem is in your private sewer lateral pipe, then it’s your responsibility to have it fixed. 

On the other hand, if it’s on city property, then you can call the West Hollywood City Hall at (323) 848-6375. If it is after hours, the weekend, or a major holiday when the West Hollywood City Hall is closed, call the Los Angeles County Sewer Maintenance Dispatcher at 1-800-675-HELP(4357). They’re available 24 hours a day and will come out to make sewage repairs any time.

When Do You Need Permits for Plumbing Service in West Hollywood?

Getting a permit in West Hollywood can be a little time-consuming. There’s more than just one piece of paper to fill out and each step must be completed. If you miss a step, then your application will be delayed before city officials will look at it. 

Permits are usually required for remodels and these will require that you get a building permit before you do anything regarding the plumbing. As part of applying for a permit, you must fill out the MEP Plan Checklist. Next, you’ll fill out the actual plumbing permit. This will cost $38.60 to process. It will take about five business days for your permit to be approved.

Thankfully, you aren’t required to get a permit for everything. Permits are not required for the following:

  • Water heaters 50 gallons or less
  • Potable water lines less than 2 inches
  • Pressure regulators less than 2 inches
  • A gas piping system, low pressure, less than 2 inches, less than 5 outlets
  • Plumbing wall repair cost fixtures
  • Dishwasher

It’s important to note that only the property owner or a State of California Licensed contractor can obtain a permit. If you’re renting the property, you’ll have to speak to your landlord about obtaining the correct permits before our team can begin working.
