Root-bound clay sewer lines
Backups every few months on the same line usually mean roots at the joints. We camera it, cut the roots and tell you honestly whether cleaning or lining is the right long-term move.
Super Star Plumbing has been headquartered on Clara Street in Bell Gardens since 1999. This is where our trucks park at night, where our plumbers live and where we have worked on more homes than anywhere else. When a Bell Gardens neighbor calls, we are already close.
Most of Bell Gardens was built out between the 1920s and the 1950s, so a lot of the housing stock is still running on its original clay sewer laterals and galvanized water supply. Small lots with mature trees along streets like Florence and Eastern mean roots find those old clay joints quickly. Many homes have also had garage conversions and added units over the years, which puts more fixtures on lines that were sized for a smaller household.

Brown water at the first turn of the tap and a weak shower are classic signs of rusted galvanized supply. A repipe fixes both permanently.
ADUs and converted garages add kitchens and baths to an old drain system. We upsize or re-route so the whole property drains properly.
Many heaters here are past twelve years and missing seismic straps. Same-day replacement, brought up to current code.
