Lawndale California is one of the newer cities in the South Bay. But the geology is just as old as the surrounding cities.
Incorporated in 1959, Lawndale has suffered through large and small earthquakes and tremors alike. If your a homeowner or commercial / industrial building owner it's just a matter of time before a major repair needs to occur.
One of the first problems that comes up is the question "who should I call?" or "is my current plumbing service provider qualified to do a complete job efficiently and on budget?"
It is in your best interest to choose a licensed, bonded and insured plumbing contractor that has the team and resources to complete the project. Cheap labor typically results in cheap work, that's one guarantee you can trust.
You need to know the following:
As of 2014 a new California law(SB 407) requires owners of any single family home in Culver City that is at least 20 years old and is adding square footage or are making permanent improvements to their home MUST ALSO install brand new water-conserving plumbing fixtures throughout the entire house.
It is not the intention of this website to create fear or "sell" you on our plumbing services. It is our intention to be a go to resource for plumbing help.

Question:
What does a BTU really mean?
The Bob & Marc Answer:
A ton of cooling is now defined as delivering 12,000 BTU/hour of cooling. BTU is short for British Thermal Unit (and is a unit that the British do not use) The BTU is a unit of heating - or in this case, cooling - energy. It’s more important, however, to keep in perspective that a window air conditioner is usually less than one ton. A small home central air conditioner would be about two tons and a large one about five tons.
Question:
How to get more hot water?
The Bob & Marc Answer:
Check the age of your water heater. Over time sediment builds up inside your water tank and reduces the amount of water that can be heated. Try flushing your tank as the manual instructs but your tank may be too old to fix. Time for a new one or a Tankless water heating system.
Question:
What can I do to reduce loss with a toilet?
The Bob & Marc Answer:
From too much water flow at flush to handle keeps coming loose or doesn't stop trying to fill the tank to floor leaks under the toilet, unless you have some experience, it is best to have an experienced reputable plumber fix your toilet. This alone will save you money beyond the actual repair itself.
Question:
My dishwasher doesn't drain.
The Bob & Marc Answer:
Some water should be left behind after each wash. This is a normal thing. But, if you have an unreasonable amount of water left in the unit after a wash, check the drain / over flow outlet that is usually next to your kitchen faucet. It might be clogged.
Question:
I cannot get hot water to come out of the faucet
The Bob & Marc Answer:
Whether it's a sink or shower faucet, it's probably something that is happening inside the faucet that is worn. Most newer faucets can be repaired by replacing the cartridge inside. Even though you can go Online and try to order the correct parts, it's confusing to most do it yourselfers. Have your plumber fix it for you as this is typically a very inexpensive service call.
Question:
Q. Where are my clean-outs located?
The Bob & Marc Answer:
hey can be located inside the house but are more often on the exterior of the house. You will need to carefully look at all sides to the house to find the sewer clean out because there could be more than one and they can be obscured by landscaping.
