Sump Pump Installation Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach

Sump Pump Installation Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach, Redondo Beach
License 899296 / Insured
310-947-6267
Same Day emergency service.
Sump pumps are often forgotten about until it rains! Sump pumps, or dewatering pumps keep the water from flooding our houses, not everyone has a sump pump, only houses or business that are below the street, where natural run off is not possible. I replace alot of pumps in Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Torrance. I always recommend pumps and pits be maintained every 1-2 years.
Sewage ejectors are another type of pump, they are installed when plumbing fixtures drain below the sewer line, they pump the sewage up to the main sewer, and then the rest drains by grade. Sewage ejectors are also very important, and are used regularly. Some come with Alarms, it is recommended an alarm be installed if you do not have one, this notifies you when the pump is not functioning properly, alot sooner then if you did not know and kept using the fixture, if you keep using the fixture it either overflows the pit, or stops up the fixtures. Better to be warned early, then to have sewage all over.
Next time we will talk about the common electrical mistakes

I received a call from a great customer in Redondo Beach, he had stated his bathroom was remodeled and the contractor installed a water heater, but he was not able to use his soaking tub because the water was cold half way through filling. I went over to look at the situation and noticed the contractor had installed a 50 gallon water heater to fill a 50 gallon soaking tub. Not only that, the water heater, although a great brand, Bradford White, was improperly installed, it was supposed to be a direct vent, instead it was a regular water heater installed to a direct vent. But that is a whole other story. I sized the system to handle 2 Rinnai tankless water heaters, went to the City of Redondo Beach to plan check and pull permits. Installed the new Rinnai Tankless Heaters, exterior units. The inspector came 3 days later to pass the installation with flying colors. I also moved the hot water line closer to the master, so the customer could get hot water faster. Tankless is the way to go. The customer is very satisfied, he called me the other day to tell me he was in the tub and his wife was in the shower and they had endless hot water!
Another plus, this freed up much needed room in his garage, he plans to purchase a motorcycle and place it where the old water heater and stand were located in the garage.

I saved this customer a large sum of money, the kitchen sink drain broke underneath the slab, right under the kitchen cabinet, I was able to locate the break using the Ridgid Seesnake camera for 2″ drains, the drain picked up the upper apts kitchen and the lower apts kitchen drain, I trenched under the slab to cut and cap the old drain, lucky, I found it broken on the combination wye 1/8 bend fitting cut the part still connected the main drain, packed it with mortar, and then blind plugged it. This way the customer would not have any issues with water under the slab if there was a main line stoppage or anything. So, once I capped the line, which was in very, very poor condition, I was unable to do a repair, I decided to re-route both kitchen lines. I used cast iron above grade to protect the drain, which is in an alley, and then 12″ below grad, on the horizontal, used ABS. The customers kitchen sink stoppages are gone! I also installed each line with a cleanout.
Most important, the landlord did not have to relocate the tenants and I did not tear up the kitchen cabinets and floor. It was woth it to do a drain reroute in Redondo Beach!

Dual Flush Toilets El Segundo
Posted by West Coast Plumbing & Sewer on October 7, 2008
How Much Difference Can Two Separate Flushes Make?
The answer to this question is shocking. Studies of dual flush toilets show that using a dual flush system as opposed to a conventional one can reduce water consumption by up to 67%. In fact, the water savings are so substantial that several nations, such as water starved Australia, have passed laws requiring that all new toilets installed are of this variety. There are even municipalities in the United States, all from areas where drought is a major concern, where similar statutes have been passed in an effort to conserve dwindling water resources.
Growing Industry
Dual flush toilets are only just catching on in the United States and the rest of North America. The double flush idea is relatively new technology to start with (these toilets first hit the international market little more than a decade ago), and these innovative bathroom fixtures haven’t been so easy to turn up in the U.S. until recently. However, a growing concern about the state of our environment, coupled with the widespread occurrences of drought that have plagued many areas of the United States, have prompted a slew of companies to dive into the business, making these pioneering toilets fairly easy to track down for the wise homeowner looking to save money and natural resources.

Tankless Water Heaters can generate Savings
Posted by West Coast Plumbing & Sewer on October 7, 2008
Have you ever noticed that when you’re the last one to take a shower that half-way through you get a cold surprise? Or has this happened to you: when you turn on the hot water, you scald your hands. This is probably because you have a traditional water heater. However, tankless hot water heaters are able to sustain a constant temperature while also saving you money in the long run.
How They Work
Electric tankless water heaters are very small units, typically hung on the side of a house, which are preset to a specific temperature. When you turn on your hot faucet, a device in this unit is activated by the flow of water, triggering it to be heated instantly. Therefore, your water is only heated when you are using it. You never have to pay for “standby” water like traditional water heaters which have to store the water all the time. Storing water is expensive because the tank has to constantly heat and then reheat the water in the tank, even when you’re not using it.
Efficiency (to Your Wallet)
Since electric tankless water heaters don’t have to consistently reheat the water, your electric bills will actually be reduced. Traditional water tanks cycle on and off, even when you’re gone from the house, and keeping this water warm uses up a lot of energy. But tankless heaters only work when you want them to.
Also, since traditional tanks have to constantly warm up the water throughout the day, it actually overheats the water in an effort to avoid running out of it. This means that sometimes the water will come out scalding hot. In fact, these tanks will actually add cold water when you turn on the hot water faucet in order to make the temperature more comfortable. All this waste is not only bad for the environment, but it’s also costing you money.
Other Benefits
Tankless hot water heaters not only you save up to 20 to 50 percent on your energy bills, they are also efficient in other ways:
Save Space: Unlike tanks which take up a lot of room, tankless heaters are small and out of the way.
No Replacement: These units typically come with a lifetime warranty, whereas tanks will eventually give out over time.
No leaking: Since there is no storing large quantities of water, electric tankless water heaters never seep.
Environmentally Friendly: Due to less water use and energy waste, these particular units run on fewer fossil fuels and conserve more power.
Healthier: Letting water sit for too long can create certain bacteria, whereas a tankless water heaters never have to store water.
If you’re tired of high energy bills and relighting that pilot light, an electric tankless water heater is probably the solution for you. Not only are they more sophisticated, contemporary, and hidden away, the additional comfort they provide is worth the acquired savings.
