LEAKS & PIPES / SERVICE GUIDE
Wet ground, pressure changes, or unexplained water use can have several causes. We review the symptoms and accessible route and look for evidence that distinguishes the main supply from irrigation or interior plumbing before excavation or repair is considered. When you call from Encino, tell us what’s affected and when you first noticed it.
Anjum QureshiSergio came within 30 minutes of calling the company. He diagnosed the problem with my shower control valve quickly. He repaired it with a new cartridge. He also replaced my main water valve. He cleaned up after he was done with the job. I highly recommend this company.Read review on Google
Terry GetchSergio and Joseph were out to my house in about a half hour after calling and this was on a Saturday. I had a leak in the main water supply just after the water meter so the repair was my responsibility. They had to remove the concrete meter cover and dig to clear and clean the pipe. They had the job repaired, tested and cleaned up within two hours. Nice job guys!Read review on Google
Wendy P.My main water line broke on a rainy Sunday and not only did he come out that day within the hour but fixed my problem by the following day. Sergio and his team were professional and affordable and got the job done. I'm so glad I found him and will be calling him in the future for any plumbing issues.Read review on Yelp
LOCAL NOTES / ENCINO
Public facts about Encino that affect water main services — each one links to its official source.
The median home was built in 1969 in ZIP 91316 and in 1962 in ZIP 91436, according to the US Census. In homes of this age, original supply and drain piping may be near the end of its service life, so we check the pipe material before recommending a repair or a repipe.

Choose the closest clue and tell us where it occurs. Similar symptoms can come from different plumbing systems.
Share where the wet area appears and whether it changes with irrigation or household water use. A damp spot alone does not confirm a main-line leak.
Do not dig to find a pipe; the affected line should be confirmed first.
Tell us whether pressure changed across the property or only at one fixture. A single fixture, valve, or supply route may each have different causes.
Note whether hot and cold supplies are both affected.
An unexplained change in meter activity can be a clue, but use patterns and irrigation also matter. Tell us what you observed and when.
We can review plumbing evidence before recommending a repair path.
If you know where the main enters or have a prior repair note, share it. The actual route, material, and access affect a repair plan.
Keep the meter and any known safe shutoff accessible without disturbing the line.
WET AREA OUTDOORSWHEN TO CALL
If water is actively flowing, close a shutoff only if it is known and safely accessible. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment and call for urgent help if the leak is spreading.
Call (818) 282-5846 to discuss your water main services needs For a contained pressure or meter concern, request an assessment estimate.WAYS WE CAN HELP
The work depends on whether the issue is at the main supply, another system, or a connection near the building.
We review pressure, visible water, and available meter observations to separate a main-line concern from irrigation or interior plumbing.
Leak detection in EncinoA section repair may fit when the affected pipe and surrounding line are serviceable. Location, material, access, and condition inform the scope.
Discuss a main-line assessmentReplacement may be considered when the line condition or repeat failures support a broader scope. We explain the route and access needed before work.
