Torrance Plumbing Company handles residential and commercial plumbing work across Torrance and the surrounding South Bay communities. Whether you own a single-family home, manage a multi-unit property, or run a commercial space, we take the call and get the job scoped before anything is scheduled. We are open seven days a week, from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM, so you are not waiting until Monday to get a leak looked at or a water heater replaced.

This area has every kind of pipe and fixture in it, from mid-century tract homes with original galvanized lines to newer builds with PEX throughout. Torrance has a wide mix of housing ages and construction types, and the plumbing inside reflects that. We handle the full range of residential and commercial work, from a single clogged drain to a whole-house repipe, and we come prepared to diagnose the cause before recommending a fix.
A slow drain or a backed-up sink is one of the most common calls we get. Kitchen drains collect grease and food debris over time. Bathroom drains catch hair and soap buildup. Shower and floor drains can restrict flow gradually until nothing moves at all. We clear drains by snaking or hydro jetting, depending on what the blockage is and where it sits. Hydro jetting pushes a high-pressure stream of water through the line and clears buildup that a snake leaves behind. We also handle main drain cleaning when the problem is further down the line.
A water leak that shows up on your bill before it shows up on your wall is harder to find than one you can see. We use pressure testing and electronic detection methods to locate hidden leaks without tearing into walls or floors unnecessarily. That includes water line leaks, supply line leaks, and pipe leaks inside walls. Slab leaks are covered in the regional section below, but the detection process starts the same way: find the cause before anything is replaced.
No hot water is one of those calls that cannot wait. We handle tank water heater repair and replacement, and we also work on tankless units. A no-hot-water call usually starts with a diagnosis: pilot light, thermostat, heating element, or something further upstream. If a repair is not the right answer, we walk through the replacement options on the call so you know what to expect before we arrive. Tankless water heater installation gets its own section below.
A running toilet wastes more water than most people expect, and a dripping faucet compounds the problem over weeks and months. We repair and replace toilets, clear toilet clogs, and handle full toilet installations. On the fixture side, we fix leaking faucets, replace worn cartridges and valves, and install new kitchen and bathroom faucets. We also handle shower and bathtub fixture installation and full fixture replacements when an upgrade is the better call.
A sewer backup or a slow main line affects every drain in the building at once. We clean sewer lines, repair damaged pipe, and replace sections that have collapsed or corroded beyond clearing. Sewer camera inspection is part of how we diagnose a line that keeps backing up: the camera shows exactly what is in there, whether that is root intrusion, a belly in the line, or a break. We also handle water main repair and water supply line repair when the problem is on the supply side rather than the drain side.
A garbage disposal that hums but does not spin, or one that leaks at the base, is a straightforward repair or replacement. We install new units and replace ones that have worn out. Low water pressure is a different kind of problem: it can point to a failing pressure-regulating valve, a partially closed shutoff, mineral buildup in the line, or a leak somewhere in the system. We run a water pressure diagnostic to find the cause. We also replace shutoff valves, including the main shutoff, when a valve no longer closes fully or leaks at the stem.
Plumbing visits scheduled without the runaround. One call and the repair is scoped.
For residential and commercial plumbing work alike, the price question comes up before anything else, and it should. Plumbing repair costs vary depending on what the job involves: a drain cleaning is a different scope from a slab leak repair or a full repipe. We give you the rate on the call, before anything is scheduled, and we tell you what it covers. You are not waiting until someone is on-site to find out what the work is going to run. Plain answers. Real pricing. Real fast response.
If the job requires a closer look before a number can be confirmed, we say so on the call rather than guessing.
Call (424) 414-2963 and ask what your job covers. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
Los Angeles County's housing stock brings a specific set of plumbing problems with it. Post-war tract construction in Torrance and the South Bay means a large share of homes sit on slab-on-grade foundations with copper supply lines cast into the concrete. Those lines age, and when they start to leak, the jobs that follow are among the most involved in residential plumbing. The three services below come up regularly here for reasons tied directly to how these homes were built.
A slab leak happens when a water supply line embedded in the concrete foundation develops a leak. The signs are often subtle at first: a warm spot on the floor, a spike in the water bill, or the sound of running water when everything is off. We locate slab leaks using pressure testing and electronic detection, which lets us pinpoint the leak without opening up the floor any more than necessary. Once the leak is found, we confirm the repair path on the call: direct access repair, rerouting the line, or a broader assessment of the pipe condition if the leak is not the first one.
Southern California's year-round hot water demand makes a tankless water heater a practical upgrade for homes that are tired of running out of hot water or paying to keep a tank warm around the clock. A tankless unit heats water on demand and takes up a fraction of the space a tank requires. Installation involves connecting to the existing gas line and water supply, sizing the unit to the home's demand, and handling the venting. A straight swap from one tankless unit to another is a faster job than converting from a tank, but we handle both. We size the unit before anything is ordered so the output matches what the household actually needs.
Galvanized, copper and PEX pipes each fail in their own way. Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside out, restricting flow and eventually rusting through. Older copper lines, particularly those cast into slabs, develop pinhole leaks that repeat until the pipe itself is the problem. PEX is now the standard replacement material: flexible, resistant to mineral buildup, and faster to run through an existing home than rigid pipe. A whole-home repipe involves replacing the supply lines throughout the house, working room by room to minimize disruption. We confirm the scope on the call so you know what the work involves before it starts.
Clean work that leaves your home as it was found. One call gets the leak looked at.
Before a small leak turns into water damage, a commercial property needs a plumber who can work around a schedule. We handle commercial plumbing repair for property managers, building owners, restaurant operators, office managers, and multi-unit residential properties. Commercial drain cleaning, water heater installation and repair, pipe repair, and leak detection are all part of what we do on the commercial side. A commercial call is scoped the same way a residential one is: we find out what the job involves before anyone arrives, and we confirm the price before anything is scheduled. We are available seven days a week, 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM, which means a plumbing problem that comes up mid-week does not have to wait for the weekend to pass. We show up ready to work. We'll get your water flowing again fast.
We serve Torrance as our primary area and take calls from across the South Bay and surrounding parts of Los Angeles County. Nearby communities we regularly work in include Redondo Beach, Lawndale, Gardena, Carson, Lomita, Harbor City, Hawthorne, and El Segundo.
If you need plumbing work scheduled in any of these communities, call (424) 414-2963 and we will confirm what is available when you book.

Some homes need a full repipe. Others just need one faucet fixed. Either way, when you call, you reach someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. That means you get a straight answer about what the work involves and what it is likely to cost before anyone is dispatched. When the visit happens, the work is done cleanly and the pricing has already been confirmed. No one is sorting through the job on your time. We are open seven days a week, from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM, for both residential and commercial calls. Whatever the job is, the cause gets found before anything is replaced.
Call (424) 414-2963 and describe what is happening.
We ask about the problem, where it is located, and what you have already noticed, then give you a rate before anything is scheduled. You know what the visit covers and what it costs before we confirm the time.
Yes. We handle residential and commercial plumbing work across Torrance and the surrounding South Bay. Single-family homeowners, landlords, property managers, and business operators all call us for the same range of services. The scope and the price are confirmed on the call regardless of the property type.
We work throughout Torrance and regularly serve Redondo Beach, Lawndale, Gardena, Carson, Lomita, Hawthorne, El Segundo, and Palos Verdes Estates. If your property is in or near any of these areas in Los Angeles County, call to confirm availability and get a quote. Property managers with units across multiple South Bay cities can schedule all of them through one call.
We are open every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday, from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM. Weekend calls are handled the same way as weekday calls: describe the problem, get a rate, and confirm the time. You are not waiting until Monday for a drain cleaning or a water heater repair.
Locate your main water shutoff valve and turn it off to stop the flow. The shutoff is typically near the water meter, under a sink, or in a utility area.
Once the water is off, call (424) 414-2963 and describe the situation so we can scope the job and get a visit scheduled as quickly as possible.
Turn off the water supply to the fixture first. Most toilets have a shutoff valve at the base of the wall behind the tank. For a sink or other fixture, the shutoff is usually under the cabinet.
Once the water is off, call (424) 414-2963 and we will walk through the next step and get the job scheduled.
Yes. A large share of the homes across Torrance and the South Bay were built in the post-war decades and still have original copper or galvanized steel supply lines. We handle leak detection, pipe repair, and whole-home repiping on older properties, and we assess the pipe condition before recommending a repair or a full replacement.
You get a rate on the call, before anything is scheduled. We ask what the problem is, explain what the job is likely to involve, and confirm the price before the visit is booked. If the situation turns out to be different from what was described on the call, that gets discussed before the scope changes.
The main factors are the type of work, the location of the problem, and what the job involves once the cause is identified. A straightforward drain cleaning is a different scope from a slab leak repair or a full repipe. We explain what drives the cost on the call so the number makes sense before anyone arrives.
For most individual repairs, the price is based on the job itself rather than the size of the property. A larger scope, like a whole-home repipe, is priced by what the work actually involves. We explain the basis for the quote on the call so you understand what the number covers.
Call (424) 414-2963 and describe the problem.
We scope the job on the call, give you a rate, and confirm what is available to book. There is no online form or waiting period. Plumbing visits are scheduled without the runaround, and the price is confirmed before anything is finalized.

Call (424) 414-2963 to get a rate and confirm availability before anything is scheduled.
| Service | What the Job Covers | Best For | Things to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Slab Leak Detection & Repair |
| Torrance post-war slab homes with warm floor spots, rising water bills, or audible running water | Rerouting the line above the slab is often the more durable fix when the copper is corroded throughout, not just at the leak point |
| Tankless Water Heater Installation |
| Torrance homeowners replacing an aging tank unit or adding hot water capacity in a multi-unit property | Most Torrance homes already run on natural gas, making the switch from a tank unit straightforward at the existing connections |
| Emergency Plumbing |
| Any plumbing failure that cannot wait, including active leaks, no hot water, or a backed-up main line | We take emergency calls every day from 7:00 AM to 9:30 PM. The situation is scoped on the phone so we arrive prepared for the specific problem |
| Whole-Home Repiping |
| Older Torrance homes with galvanized or deteriorated copper lines showing recurring leaks or flow problems | Hard water conditions across Los Angeles County accelerate wear on galvanized pipe, and discoloration at the faucet is often the first sign the lines need replacing |
| Earthquake Gas Shutoff Valves |
| Torrance homeowners who want the gas supply to shut off automatically in a significant seismic event | Automatic shutoff valves require manual resetting after they trip. We walk through the reset procedure at the end of the installation |
| Faucet & Fixture Installation |
| Dripping faucets, fixtures that no longer hold temperature, or a full bathroom or kitchen fixture upgrade | We confirm the rough-in dimensions and supply line configuration before ordering parts so the replacement fits the existing setup |
| Toilet Repair & Installation |
| A toilet that runs continuously, leaks at the base, or needs full replacement | A running toilet can waste a significant volume of water before it shows up on a bill, so early repair pays for itself quickly |
| Pressure-Regulating Valve Installation |
| Properties with water pressure above the recommended range or with recurring fixture and appliance wear | Municipal supply pressure in parts of Torrance can run higher than fixtures and appliances are rated for, and a PRV protects the whole system from that excess |
| Hot-Water Recirculation Pumps |
| Homes where hot water takes a long time to reach fixtures at the far end of the supply run | A recirculation pump is particularly useful in larger Torrance homes where the water heater is located far from the bathrooms |
| Leak Detection & Repair |
| Unexplained water bills, damp walls or floors, or the sound of running water with everything off | The source is confirmed before any wall or floor is opened, so the repair addresses the actual leak rather than a guess |
| Garbage Disposal Service |
| A disposal that hums but will not turn, trips the reset repeatedly, or has stopped responding | Most disposal failures are a jammed flywheel or a tripped thermal overload, both of which are resolved on the same visit |
| Water Softener & Water Treatment |
| Properties dealing with hard water scale buildup on fixtures or inside supply lines | Los Angeles County water is moderately hard, and scale buildup inside supply lines and on fixture aerators is a common finding in Torrance homes |
| Water Heater Repair & Replacement |
| No hot water, inconsistent temperature, or a tank that is leaking at the base | Southern California water carries a moderate mineral load, and sediment buildup at the bottom of the tank is one of the more common causes of reduced output in this area |
| Drain Cleaning & Clog Removal |
| Slow or completely clogged drain in any fixture or main line | Hydro jetting reaches buildup that a standard snake cannot dislodge, making it the right call for recurring kitchen or main line clogs |
| Sewer & Main Line Service |
| Slow drains throughout the house or sewage backing up at floor level | We speak to the line from the house out to the connection point. If the line runs to a septic tank, we clear and repair the line itself |
| Water Pressure & Shutoff Valve Repair |
| Low pressure throughout the house or shutoff valves that no longer close fully | Shutoff valves that leak at the stem or fail to close are a common finding in older Torrance homes and are straightforward to replace before they become an emergency |
