From the San Fernando Valley to all 88 cities of Los Angeles County

Los Angeles County was one of California's original 27 counties, established on February 18, 1850. It now spans 4,084 square miles with nearly 10 million residents and 88 incorporated cities, from Los Angeles, the first, to Calabasas, the newest, which incorporated on April 5, 1991, and more than 65 percent of its land is unincorporated. SoCal Emergency Plumbing San Fernando Valley is based in Los Angeles, CA, in the Canoga Park neighborhood of the west San Fernando Valley, and one line stays open for the whole county day and night: the Valley and the hills around it, Santa Clarita, Malibu, the basin, the San Gabriel Valley, the South Bay and Long Beach, the Antelope Valley and Avalon on Catalina.

The county is big, so here is the honest version. We are based in the west Valley, which puts Woodland Hills or Calabasas close by and Lancaster, Long Beach or an address on Catalina a long way off. We never promise an arrival time we might miss. On the phone, a person tells you how to shut off the water or the gas yourself, and then a plumber is sent to your address.

Seven places get a page here: the Valley side of Los Angeles, Hidden Hills, Calabasas, Agoura Hills, Westlake Village, Malibu and Santa Clarita. Each page sets out its Census housing figures, its water supplier and the jobs its homes most often need, and they differ more than the map suggests. Every home in Hidden Hills is a detached house, against 36 percent across the City of Los Angeles; 70 percent of Los Angeles housing predates 1980, against 31 percent in Santa Clarita; and water hardness runs from about 6 grains per gallon on Valley aqueduct water to about 21 in Santa Clarita groundwater. The remaining 81 cities get the same work, just without their own page.

Permits are issued city by city across all 88, unless a city contracts with the County, so a water heater in Calabasas goes through Calabasas Building and Safety and one in Canoga Park through LADBS. Westlake Village is the only one of our seven that contracts with LA County Public Works, which also permits unincorporated land through its EPIC-LA system. SoCalGas supplies the gas in all seven, and throughout the County Sewer Maintenance District each house lateral belongs to the property owner along its whole length, the stretch under the street included. Some things hold at every address: a price in writing that you approve before work, the California C-36 plumbing license and $25,000 contractor bond listed on our CSLB record, and a written workmanship warranty on finished repairs.
