Residential Plumbing Services in Glendale & Burbank
Drain clearing, sewer main replacement, whole-house repiping, and true 24/7 emergency response — specialists, not generalists, for the homes between the Verdugo foothills and the Rancho.
What We Do
Four Services, Done Exceptionally Well
We deliberately focus on the plumbing problems that Glendale and Burbank homes actually have — aging drains, failing clay sewer laterals, corroded galvanized supply pipe, and the emergencies those three produce. Every job starts with an honest diagnosis and a flat price you approve before work begins.
Drain Cleaning & Clearing
From a slow kitchen sink to a main sewer drain that's backing up into the tub, we clear every residential line — and then find out why it clogged, so it stays clear. Hard water, grease, and tree roots make local drains fail young; we bring the right machine for each one instead of forcing a one-size-fits-all cable through everything.
- Expert snaking for sinks, tubs, toilets & laundry lines
- Hydro jetting for grease, scale & root fibers
- Sewer camera inspection with footage you can see
- Main line stoppages cleared same-day in most cases
Sewer & Main Line Replacement
Most local homes still drain through their original clay or cast-iron lateral, and mature street trees have spent decades working roots into the joints. When clearing after clearing stops holding, we replace the line properly — camera-diagnosed first, permitted with the city, and installed at correct slope so the fix outlives your mortgage.
- Camera-first diagnosis — you see the pipe before you spend
- Trenchless options that spare lawns & hardscape
- Spot repairs when a full replacement isn't warranted
- Permits & city inspections handled for you
Whole-House Repiping
If your shower dies when the washing machine fills, or rusty water greets you after a vacation, your galvanized supply pipes have corroded nearly shut — the signature ailment of 1920s–60s housing on both sides of the Glendale–Burbank line. A whole-house repipe in copper or PEX restores full pressure and ends the leak-repair cycle for good.
- Copper & PEX repipes, quoted with both options
- Galvanized & failing supply line replacement
- Minimal, mapped wall openings — patched after inspection
- Permitted, code-compliant & pressure-tested
24/7 Emergency Plumbing
Burst pipes, sewage backups, and flooding don't check the clock, so neither do we. Our emergency line is answered by a person around the clock, we dispatch the nearest technician immediately, and the flat price is quoted before repair work begins — at 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. Damage control comes first; the meter never runs.
- Burst & leaking pipes, slab leaks, flooding
- Sewage backups & main line stoppages
- No-water calls diagnosed & restored fast
- Answered 24/7 — nights, weekends & holidays

The Alpha-Beta Difference
Why Homeowners Choose Us
Anyone can run a cable down a drain. What earns repeat customers is the part around the work: showing you the camera footage instead of describing it, quoting one flat number before a tool comes off the truck, pulling the permit instead of skipping it, and standing behind the job after we leave.
