Even though Rancho Palos Verdes is relatively a newer city, the geologic and atmospheric effects have and will continue to have a negative effect on your plumbing.
Research shows that the many people who focus on cheaper cost rather than quality of plumbing work end up, in the long run, spending more on repair due to the lack of experience and lower quality of the work performed by so called "POP-UP plumbing companies" who have only one thing in mind...making money quickly without wanting to create a long term relationship with the customer or client.
Here's a good rule of thumb:
Fast jobs are not cheap | Fast cheap jobs are not good | Cheap good jobs are not fast

Common questions about your Rancho Palos Verdes Plumbing
Air Conditioning
Rancho Palos Verdes
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.
Fats, Oils & Greases
Rancho Palos Verdes
Question:
How to handle fats, oils and greases?
The Bob & Marc Answer:
It is very unwise to dispose of fatty, greasy or oily waste down any plumbing drains. Try to get into a composting habit or use your trash system. For Large businesses, contact your waste and disposal company or a recycling company, you may find that you can sell it for a profit.
Toilets
Rancho Palos Verdes
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.
Dishwashers
Rancho Palos Verdes
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.
Faucets
Rancho Palos Verdes
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.

Rancho Palos Verdes
Question:
Q. Where are my clean-outs located?
The Bob & Marc Answer:
