AnJ Plumbing Services
Gas Leaks
AnJ Plumbing has Technicians available to investigate gas leaks 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A Technician will be dispatched quickly to investigate all potential leaks, regardless of the time of day.
Even though natural gas facilities and appliances are designed to provide years of safe, reliable services its still possible for leaks to occur. If you suspect a gas leak it is important to call a technician to the site immediately as it can pose a threat to your home. Every year carbon monoxide kills between 30 and 40 people in their homes. Avoid being a number in this statistic.
Locating a gas leak can be a difficult process that may take several hours. In some cases there is more than one gas leak in the same system. As a company that is based on family values, AnJ Plumbing makes a commitment to provide you the best service. When dealing with gas leaks we retest the system pressure until we are sure all gas leaks have been repaired.
If you smell gas you must act immediately. Don't take a chance!
Turn off the gas lever at the mains, which is next to the gas meter, by pulling the lever down.Don't operate electrical switches - on or off. A spark could cause an explosion.
Open all windows and doors.
Do not light any matches, cigarettes or create any source of ignition.
Avoid rooms with a strong smell of gas if possible as you may be overpowered.
Leave your home and use a nearby phone to contact us at any time of day or night. Dial (818) 833-5649 to have a technician properly handle the situation.

Having trouble with that old leaky faucet? To keep your under-the-sink time to a minimum let AnJ Plumbing repair or replace your faucet. Save yourself time and money by calling us any time of day.

Choosing the right faucet can help you save hundreds of dollars on water expenses every year.
Approximately 5 to 10 percent of American homes have water leaks that drip away 90 gallons a day or more! Many of these leaks reside in old fixtures such as leaky toilets and faucets. In fact, water lost by these leaky residences could be reduced by more than 30,000 gallons if new, efficient fixtures were installed. If the 5 percent of American homes that leak the most corrected those leaks—it could save more than 177 billion gallons of water annually!
Repair dripping faucets by replacing washers. If your faucet is dripping at a rate of one drop per second, you can expect to waste 2,700 gallons per year. This adds to the cost of water and sewer utilities, or can strain your septic system.

Toilets
Replacing an old toilet can be easy with the help of AnJ Plumbing! Call today!When it comes to toilets, no onethinks about how important they are in our daily life. Once they start leaking or not flushing as well as they should, that's when it hits us... they need to be working properly at all times. Like any faucet, if a toilet is not at it's peak, it can cost you a great deal of money. It may be flushing too much water or not enough, making you flush it several times to drain it. If it leaks after it's flushed, it is most likely the wax gasket under the unit, but if it's not that... then you have a bigger problem.
Even if your toilet is working properly and you just want to upgrade to modern ones, we can help you out with that as well! We are familiar with many different types of toilets so we can install the fancy or traditional toilets.
When calling in about toilet services, most people chose between round or elongated bowls. If you're looking for a modern look, we can help you order the perfect toilet.

Rooter
Tree roots in your sewer lines can create blockage that leads to eventual collapse. Avoid an unsanitary catastrophe by calling AnJ Plumbing today to clear out your drain lines.
Think you have roots inside your pipes?
Roots systems are small and large permanent roots that are used for stabilization and feeding for trees. The small roots are primarily responsible for absorption of water and essential nutrients. Roots systems are responsible for sustaining the tree’s life; therefore they can extend as far as seven times the height of tree in search for water and nutrients.
In times of drought or during the winter, roots travel in search of moisture. They follow trails of moisture vapors that may be escaping from poorly sealed joints, holes, or cracks in sewer and water lines. The roots then penetrate the pipes and fill it with hair-like roots clogging all matter coming from homes and businesses. The tree root mass in pipes reduce the flow and slow the drains.
If these roots aren’t removed, they continue to expand while at the same time exerting pressure that may result in additional fractures in the pipe. In extreme cases the blockage can lead to total collapse of the pipes and more costly repairs.
With the use of tree root machinery, AnJ Plumbing technicians remove tree roots and other obstructions from drain lines allowing your system to have a normal and danger-free flow.
The drain lines are cleared by cutting the tree roots and using high pressure hydro-jetting to remove them. Our technicians may also recommend additional services that can help you prevent future blockage.

Hydro Jetting
Let AnJ PLUMBING clean out your sewer line and restore it to its normal flow.What is Hydro Jetting?
Hydro Jetting is a technique used to clean out sewer lines that are clogged by roots or any other obstructions. The technique uses large volumes of water under high pressure to purge the pipe and return it to its normal flow. The hydro jet removes scale, silt, sand, grease, and roots that accumulate over the years on the inside walls of your pipes.
Hydro Jetting is one of the most efficient ways to clear pipes of blockages without damaging the surrounding environment or infrastructure.
Hydro Jetting is used when the typical snaking cannot clean out pipes on its own. It is also used as prerequisite for other services such as pipe lining. If you want a more personal evaluation, please call AnJ PLUMBINGright away @ (818) 833-5649. We will come to you at any time of day and any day of the week.
The picture above is an example of a clogged sewer pipe.
The picture to the right shows the difference in a old pipe after the hydro jet action removes all buildup.
Sewer Cleanout
A sewer cleanout is a point of access where the sewer lateral can be serviced (The sewer lateral is the section of the pipe from the property line to the mainline sewer in the street). It usually is 6” in diameter and has a tight-fitting steel or plastic cap over it. Two cleanouts are typically installed at each house or building. One is located just outside of the building, and one is located at the property line
Districts do no install clean outs. It is the property owners responsibility.
To have a clean out installed in your home or property, just call AnJ Plumbing. As licensed plumbing company, we have experience and can properly install a cleanout

Pipe Re-Lining Technology
Avoid the hassle of digging ugly trenches on your property to repair your pipes. With pipe re-lining technology, we can permanently fix your pipes. You wont have to worry about future problems.Tired of worrying about leaks or root infiltration in your pipes?
With our pipe re-lining technology you wont have to worry.
Pipe Lining, also referred to as Epoxy Lining is a process in which old unreliable pipes are re-lined with epoxy resin.
The pipes are first dried out, then are cleaned of all corrosion or other buildup that reduces the pipes natural flow and affects the water quality. Epoxy reinforced by layers of fiberglass mesh is then applied to the inside of the pipe. This permanent barrier protects the pipe from leaks and corrosion. It is air tight and water tight so it will prevent root infiltration that can affect all pipes without epoxy lining. Ultimately if you want to avoid all problems with your pipes that results from aging, epoxy re-lining is your best alternative.

AnJ Plumbing replaces your pipes using a technique called Pipe Bursting. The old buried pipe is then destroyed from the inside out while at the same time replacing it with a new pipe.
How is Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement possible?
Trenchless sewer replacement is made possible by making a small hole at both ends of the pipe that needs replacement. A high-strength steel cable which is connected to a high-pressure hydraulic pump is then run through one end. This pumps cuts through while pulling a High Density Polyethylene pipe that is placed in the exact location of the old pipe.
Pipe Bursting is a quick and efficient way to replace your sewer lines. The Poly-Pipe is strong, flexible and durable and allows for airtight and watertight fusions of additional sections.
Copper Repiping
Find yellow rusty water running? Perhaps you need to upgrade your old rusty pipes to a safer material, like copper.
Copper Re-Piping is a smart alternative for repairing old galvanized pipes. Steel galvanized pipes have a coating inside that usually flakes and peels off after several years of use. This makes easy for lime and calcium to buildup inside the pipes. Overt time these minerals accumulate and drastically reduces and weakens the consistency of the water pressure in your home.
By switching to copper pipes, you're upgrading to a more durable material that offers reliable service for a minimum of 50 years. Additionally, copper is a fairly easy material to work with when it comes to installation and repairs. It's flexibility is especially advantageous in cases of natural phenomenon such as earthquakes, which are highly prevalent in California.
Copper in general is a material resistant to corrosion which is common for galvanized steel pipes. Moreover copper provide an inhabitable environment for bacteria and therefore provides a safer bacteria free flow. Upgrading to copper pipes will not only provide you with stain free and bacteria free drinking water, but it will also increase the value of your home should you decide to resell

Earthquake Gas Seismic Shutoff
Major earthquakes have proven to be highly destructive. Avoid total destruction of your home by installing a valve that can shut off your gas source in case of an emergency.
A natural gas earthquake shut-off valve automatically shuts off your gas service when there is an earthquake with a great enough magnitude to activate it. It is important, specially in California where earthquakes are common, to have a valve installed in your property to avoid any further problems that can be caused by a gas leak. The valve shuts off your gas and is later reset at a safe time by your gas company.
If you decide to have an earthquake gas shut-off valve installed, or are ordered to do so by your insurance company or by the building code, AnJ PLUMBING can install it for you. We will make sure to install it on the downstream side of the meter.
City of Los Angeles Ordinance Regarding Earthquake Preparedness
The Los Angeles City Council has expanded an existing ordinance that requires all newly constructed homes and businesses to install an automatic earthquake gas shut-off valve. The ordinance also calls for home and business buyers to install a valve at the point of sale of an existing home or business. Moreover, if you're making alterations or additions valued at $10,000 or more, installing an automatic earthquake gas shut-off valve is mandatory by law.
You probably have questions about this new ordinance and the valves themselves. Southern California Gas Company has attempted to answer some of them.
For additional information call the City of Los Angeles at (888) 524-2845.

Video Camera Inspection - Eliminate the guessing work! With a camera inspection you can know for sure.
Video Camera Inspection helps us determine where your drainage problems starts. Blindly using a snake in your drains is a simple task anyone can do with the hope of removing the stoppage. However, with the technology of video camera inspection, we can see exactly in what condition your drain lines are in. Our recommendations for additional work are based on what we encounter using the camera.
AnJ encourages all customers to be present at the time of the video camera inspection so they can be fully aware of what their pipes require. Our technicians can identify and explain to our customers what is causing the stoppages.
How does it work?
A flexible rod that has a high resolution video camera at the top is inserted in the pipe that requires inspection. As the rod is pushed along the pipe, the waterproof camera records its finding by taking images which are then transmitted to out technicians. The camera is a great tool that lets you see what is underground without having to dig up ugly trenches.
The camera can show:
Blockage
Corroded Pipes
Leaking Joints
Root infiltration
Off-grade pipe
offset pipe
brakes or cracks
