Professional Plumbing Maintenance Services in Commerce, CA

Plumbing systems work hard every day, quietly delivering water and removing waste from your Commerce property. But without regular maintenance, even the best systems develop problems—leaks, clogs, corrosion, and inefficiencies that lead to expensive emergency repairs and property damage. At Rooter & Plumbing Masters, we provide comprehensive plumbing maintenance services throughout Commerce, CA, helping homeowners and businesses protect their investments with proactive care that catches problems early and keeps systems running efficiently.

With nearly two decades of experience serving Los Angeles County, our licensed technicians understand the unique maintenance needs of Commerce properties—from older residential homes with aging plumbing to busy commercial facilities requiring reliable systems. Whether you need annual residential maintenance or customized commercial service plans, we deliver thorough inspections, preventive repairs, and expert recommendations that extend system life and prevent costly emergencies.

Our Commerce plumbing maintenance includes thorough inspection and servicing of your entire plumbing system:

Complete System Inspection

Visual Inspection: Our technicians examine all accessible plumbing components—pipes, fixtures, connections, valves, and drains—looking for signs of wear, corrosion, leaks, or damage.

Fixture Examination: We inspect toilets, faucets, sinks, showers, tubs, and appliance connections for leaks, wear, improper operation, or efficiency issues.

Pipe Assessment: We examine visible pipes for corrosion, leaks, improper support, or damage. For older properties, we assess pipe material and condition to identify potential future problems.

Valve Testing: We test shutoff valves throughout your property to ensure they operate smoothly and close completely—critical for emergency situations.

Drain Evaluation: We check drains for slow drainage, partial clogs, or other issues indicating developing problems.

Water Heater Maintenance

Water heaters are hardworking appliances requiring annual maintenance for optimal performance and longevity:

Tank Flushing: We drain and flush the tank to remove sediment accumulation that reduces efficiency and causes premature tank failure.

Anode Rod Inspection: We check the sacrificial anode rod that protects the tank from corrosion. When depleted, we recommend replacement to prevent tank deterioration.

Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Testing: We test the safety valve to ensure it operates correctly, protecting against dangerous pressure buildup.

Burner or Element Inspection: We inspect gas burners or electric heating elements for proper operation and efficiency.

System Performance Testing: We verify appropriate water temperature, adequate hot water volume, and efficient operation.

Energy Efficiency Assessment: We evaluate your water heater’s efficiency and recommend upgrades if significant savings are available with newer models.

For Commerce’s commercial properties with large or multiple water heaters, we provide specialized maintenance appropriate for commercial-grade equipment.

Drain Cleaning and Maintenance

Drain problems rarely appear suddenly—they develop gradually as buildup accumulates. Our maintenance includes:

Drain Flow Testing: We check drainage speed at all fixtures, identifying slow drains before they become complete clogs.

Preventive Drain Cleaning: We clear early-stage buildup from drains before it causes problems, using appropriate methods for different drain types.

Vent System Inspection: Properly functioning drain vents are critical for drainage and preventing sewer gas entry. We verify vent operation and clear any blockages.

P-Trap Inspection: We check drain traps for proper water seals that prevent sewer gases from entering your property.

Grease Trap Service (Commercial): For restaurants and food service businesses, we inspect and recommend servicing schedules for grease traps to prevent violations and backups.

Leak Detection

Small leaks cause major damage over time. Our maintenance includes leak detection services:

Visual Leak Inspection: We examine all visible plumbing for active leaks or signs of past leaks like water stains, corrosion, or dampness.

Under-Sink Inspections: Cabinet interiors often hide small leaks that cause mold, cabinet damage, and water waste. We thoroughly inspect these vulnerable areas.

Toilet Leak Testing: Toilet leaks are common and wasteful. We test for flapper leaks, fill valve problems, and tank-to-bowl seal leaks.

Water Meter Testing: We can perform water meter tests to detect hidden leaks in underground pipes or within walls, identifying problems before they cause visible damage.

Electronic Leak Detection: For suspected hidden leaks, we offer electronic leak detection using specialized equipment that locates problems without destructive investigation.

Water Pressure Testing and Adjustment

Proper water pressure is critical for system performance and longevity:

Pressure Measurement: We test water pressure throughout your property. Ideal pressure is 50-70 PSI; pressure above 80 PSI stresses fixtures and accelerates wear.

Pressure Regulator Inspection: We check pressure regulators for proper operation and recommend adjustment or replacement when necessary.

Pressure Issues Diagnosis: We identify causes of low pressure (clogged pipes, valve issues, supply problems) or high pressure (regulator failure, municipal pressure spikes).

Sewer Line Inspection

Your property’s sewer line is critical but often neglected. Our maintenance can include:

Sewer Camera Inspection: Using specialized video cameras, we inspect sewer line interiors to identify tree root intrusion, cracks, offsets, bellies (sagging sections), or buildup—all before they cause backups.

Preventive Root Treatment: For properties with trees near sewer lines, we can apply root-killing treatments that prevent invasive roots from blocking pipes.

Sewer Line Cleaning: We can perform preventive hydro-jetting to remove buildup and maintain optimal flow in sewer lines.

Toilet Maintenance

Toilets are high-use fixtures requiring attention:

Internal Component Inspection: We check flappers, fill valves, flush valves, and other internal components for wear and proper operation.

Leak Testing: Toilet leaks waste hundreds of gallons monthly. We use dye tests and other methods to detect subtle leaks.

Flush Performance Assessment: We verify appropriate flush volume and proper bowl evacuation, addressing weak or incomplete flushing.

Wax Ring Inspection: We check for signs of failing wax rings that cause leaks at the toilet base.

Faucet and Fixture Maintenance

Aerator Cleaning: We remove and clean faucet aerators, removing mineral buildup that restricts flow and causes uneven spray patterns.

Cartridge and Valve Inspection: We check faucet cartridges and valve stems for wear, leaks, or operation problems.

Showerhead Inspection: We check for leaks, mineral buildup, and proper operation.

Supply Line Inspection: We examine flexible supply lines connecting fixtures to shutoffs for signs of wear, bulging, or leaks—these lines have limited lifespans and require periodic replacement.

Garbage Disposal Service

Operation Testing: We verify proper disposal operation, appropriate motor sound, and effective grinding.

Cleaning and Deodorizing: We clean disposal interiors to remove buildup and eliminate odors.

Leak Inspection: We check disposal mounting and drain connections for leaks.

Safety Check: We verify appropriate electrical connections and grounding.

While maintenance prevents most problems, some situations require immediate attention:

No Hot Water: Water heater failures require prompt service.

Multiple Clogged Drains: This suggests main sewer line problems.

Low Pressure Throughout Property: System-wide pressure problems indicate serious issues.

Visible Leaks: Active leaks should never wait for scheduled maintenance.

Sewage Odors: Sewer gas smells indicate serious problems requiring immediate attention.

Water Discoloration: Sudden changes in water color suggest pipe corrosion or contamination.

Unusually High Water Bills: Dramatic increases indicate significant leaks requiring urgent repair.

We provide 24/7 emergency service for situations that can’t wait for scheduled maintenance.
