Graham Plumbing and Drain Cleaning handles everything from stubborn drain clogs to full sewer line failures, and we pick up the phone around the clock.

We serve Inglewood as part of our regular Los Angeles and Orange County territory, which means we're not driving two hours to reach you. Same-day service is available throughout the area, and we carry the diagnostic equipment to actually find the problem before recommending a fix. Inglewood's housing stock runs the full spectrum from post-war bungalows with original galvanized supply lines to newer mixed-use construction, and we've worked on all of it. Local building codes, local pipe conditions, local quirks in how these homes were built. We know what we're walking into.
(714) 367-4996What Inglewood Homeowners Call Us About Most
Drain problems lead the list. Inglewood's older residential blocks have cast iron and galvanized drain lines that corrode from the inside out, narrowing over decades until even normal household use causes slow drains or full backups. A mechanical snake clears the immediate clog, but it doesn't address the buildup coating the pipe walls. That's where hydro jetting makes the real difference. We run a high-pressure water jet through the line and strip it clean, not just punch a hole through the blockage. For older Inglewood properties that keep having the same clog come back every few months, hydro jetting typically ends that cycle for good.
Slab leaks are the other call we get frequently from Inglewood. The city sits on a mix of soil types, and the ground movement that's normal for Southern California puts real stress on copper supply lines embedded in concrete foundations. If your water bill is climbing and nothing's changed, or you feel warm spots on a tile floor that shouldn't be warm, don't wait. A small slab leak that's ignored long enough can compromise the slab itself, and at that point the repair cost multiplies fast. Our leak detection service finds the source without tearing up your floor to look for it.

Copper and PEX Repiping
Inglewood homes built before 1980 often still have original galvanized steel supply lines. When those corrode through, we repipe the home with copper or PEX. It's a one-time project that solves a decade of recurring problems.

Video Camera Inspection
Before we recommend any sewer repair, we run a camera through the line. You see exactly what we see. It removes the guesswork and protects you from unnecessary work. Read more in our blog on why video camera inspections matter.
The Honest Truth About DIY Plumbing in Older Inglewood Homes
We're not going to tell you that every dripping faucet needs a licensed plumber. But Inglewood has a real concentration of homes where the plumbing hasn't been seriously touched since the 1960s, and those systems don't behave the way newer plumbing does. A supply valve that's never been turned can shear off when you try to close it. A galvanized drain connection that looks solid can crack the moment you put torque on it. The repair that was going to take an afternoon can turn into a much bigger emergency.
That's not meant to scare you. It's just the reality of working in this housing stock, and it's why we'd rather you read our post on why plumbing repairs aren't good DIY projects before you start. We don't upsell work that isn't needed. If your situation is genuinely straightforward, we'll tell you that too.
Common Questions from Inglewood Customers
A few things Inglewood homeowners ask us before they call.
01 How fast can you get to Inglewood for an emergency?
We offer 24/7 emergency service and serve Inglewood as part of our active LA County coverage area. Response time for true emergencies like burst pipes or sewage backups is typically within a few hours, depending on the time of day and current call volume. Call (714) 367-4996 directly and we'll give you an honest ETA on the spot.
02 My Inglewood home has galvanized pipes. Should I repipe before they fail completely?
Galvanized steel supply lines in Inglewood homes built between the 1940s and 1970s have a finite life, and most of them are past it. As they corrode internally, water pressure drops, discoloration shows up at faucets, and small leaks start appearing at joints. Repiping with copper or PEX before a major failure is almost always less expensive than repiping after water damage has already happened. We can assess what's left in your system and give you a straight answer about where you stand.
03 What's the difference between snaking a drain and hydro jetting in an Inglewood home?
A drain snake punches through a clog and restores flow. It works fine for a straightforward obstruction, and it's often the right call. Hydro jetting uses pressurized water to scour the inside of the pipe clean, removing grease buildup, mineral scale, and root intrusion that a snake leaves behind. For Inglewood homes with recurring slow drains, especially in kitchens where grease accumulates, hydro jetting is typically the fix that actually holds. We'll tell you which one the situation calls for after we've looked at it.
04 How do I know if I have a slab leak in my Inglewood house?
The most common signs in Inglewood homes are unexplained increases in water bills, warm spots on flooring (especially tile or concrete), the sound of running water when everything is off, and cracks forming in flooring or baseboards near exterior walls. Southern California's expansive clay soils contribute to ground movement that stresses copper lines embedded in slabs. If you're seeing any combination of those signs, call us before it gets worse. Early detection almost always means a simpler, less invasive repair.
05 Does Graham Plumbing handle commercial plumbing in Inglewood?
Yes. We work on commercial properties in Inglewood, including multi-unit residential buildings, small retail spaces, and restaurant grease trap and drain issues. The commercial drain work around SoFi Stadium and the broader Inglewood commercial corridor is exactly the kind of high-volume grease and waste line problem we're equipped to handle with hydro jetting. Call us to discuss the scope of your property and we'll let you know upfront if it's in our wheelhouse.
06 What does trenchless sewer repair cost in Inglewood?
Costs vary considerably depending on the length of the affected line, the type of damage, the pipe diameter, and site access. Trenchless repair typically runs from a few thousand dollars into the mid-five figures for major sewer main work. That range is wide because the jobs genuinely are that different from each other. What we can tell you is that trenchless is almost always less expensive than traditional excavation once you factor in landscape restoration, driveway repair, and disruption to the property. Every job is different. Contact Graham Plumbing and Drain Cleaning for an accurate estimate.
