Your 24/7 Plumber in Huntington Beach, CA

Plumbing in Huntington Beach: We’re Always on Call

For much of the 20th century, Huntington Beach was a sleepy oceanside town.

Early residents were drawn to the area for its mild climate, prime beachfront access, and surfer lifestyle. Today, Huntington Beach is a bustling city of 200,000 residents, give or take a dozen, and a popular destination for local tourists.

What does this background have to do with your plumbing?

Many Huntington Beach homes and businesses date to the 50s, 60s, and 70s when the city experienced a remarkable growth spurt. While vintage homes can be charming, aging plumbing rarely is.

If you own an older home, you’ll need a top-notch plumber to prevent your corroded pipes from bursting. You’ll want someone familiar with the local codes, ordinances, and conditions and who charges a fair price.

Plumbing in Huntington Beach Has Special Problems

Thousands of aging plumbing systems in Huntington Beach invite a host of problems.

Leaks, corrosion, and blockages are common issues aggravated by city water with high levels of mineral sediment. Add to that the calcium deposits that accumulate from hard water, and you have a recipe for a plumbing disaster.

Soil Conditions in Huntington Beach

1. Expansive Clay Soil: This has a high clay content that expands and contracts significantly with changes in moisture levels, placing pressure on underground pipes.
2. High Water Table: Coastal cities like Huntington Beach have high water tables in some areas. A high water table means that the ground is saturated with water, putting extra stress on underground plumbing systems.
3. Coastal Corrosion: The salt-laden air of Huntington Beach accelerates the corrosion of metal pipes. The tag team of salty air and moisture contributes to the deterioration of plumbing components.
4. Ground Movement: The Newport-Inglewood/Rose Canyon fault zone cuts through Huntington Beach. On average, an earthquake will hit nearby every 15 days or so (source: Earthquakelist.org). Ground movement can make pipes shift, crack, or disconnect.
5. Erosion: Coastal environments with sandy or loose soil are more vulnerable to erosion. Erosion can undermine the stability of your concrete slab foundation or the ground surrounding plumbing pipes.

City Water in Huntington Beach

Huntington Beach’s municipal water supply “meets or exceeds 100% of all state and federal drinking water standards” (source: City of Huntington Beach). 77% comes from local groundwater, and 23% is imported treated surface water. Still, the city has moderately hard water, containing high levels of minerals like calcium and magnesium, which accumulate in pipes, fixtures, and appliances.

Our Plumbing Services in Huntington Beach

Leak Detection & Repair

Water damage is a leading cause of property loss. Call us immediately if you suspect a leak, even if you can’t locate the source.

Sewer Line Repair & Drain Cleaning

A blocked sewer line is a threat to your health and property. At Orange Coast Plumbing, we use the latest technologies to repair broken sewer lines, including trenchless and cured-in-place pipe repair (CIPP).

Hydro Jet Drain Cleaning

A hydro jet uses high-pressure water streams to clear sewer blockages without damaging pipes. It can remove almost anything, including tree roots.

Piping & Repiping

When you may find yourself paying for the same repairs over and over, it may be time for repiping — nothing less than a rebuild of your plumbing system.

Bathroom Fixture Installation & Repair

Professionals should handle most bathroom fixture installation and repair. You may not need us to replace a showerhead, but leaky pipes are another matter.

Plumbing Remodeling

We can remodel your kitchen or bathroom from concept to completion. Or we can work with your architect or interior designer to create the kitchen or bathroom of your dreams.

Hot Water Heater Installation & Repair

Most water heaters last between 6 and 13 years. Tankless heaters are more durable — up to 20 years of service. Whether you realize it or not, your water heater needs help. We’re here to help it.

Commercial Plumbing

Commercial buildings have much greater water and sewage disposal demands. Plumbers must meet higher standards for water pressure and flow and deal with more complex piping systems.

24/7 Emergency Plumbing Services

Flooding can damage flooring, furniture, walls, and even your foundation. Mold growth is a health concern. Call us at the first sign of an indoor leak or sewage backup. We’ll send someone within the hour, any time of day.
