What we see in Norwalk

Norwalk is home turf, the heart of the service area. Most of the city went up in the late 1940s and 1950s, which means a lot of homes are still running original galvanized supply lines and clay sewer laterals that are now past 70 years old. Low water pressure and root-clogged sewer lines are the two calls that come up again and again.

Because the truck is based here, Norwalk gets the fastest response in the service area, day or night. Mickey has worked on the same streets for decades: the post-war tracts off Rosecrans and Imperial, the homes around Norwalk Boulevard, and the apartments and small commercial buildings along Firestone. Water heaters, repipes, main-line sewer replacements, gas lines, and the free under-house inspection all start with one call.

Norwalk incorporated in 1957, right as the last of the big tracts were finishing, so most of the city's roughly 100,000 residents live in homes built between the late 1940s and the mid 1960s. That era means raised foundations in the older streets near the Santa Fe Springs line, slabs in the later tracts toward Cerritos, and galvanized steel supply pipe almost everywhere until it has been replaced. Southeast LA County water is hard, which shortens the life of water heaters and clogs aerators and valves with scale. One Hour Plumbing Service covers every part of the city, from the neighborhoods around Cerritos College and Norwalk Town Square to the streets near the Norwalk/Santa Fe Springs Metrolink station and the 5, 605, and 105 freeway edges.

“He also gave me some tips on keeping my drains cleaned and only recommended a few repairs that might need to be made in the future but he wasn't pushy about it and it was just things he noticed while making other repairs. I definitely recommend this business”

Norwalk questions, answered

How fast can you get to Norwalk?

It depends on the drive from Norwalk and what is already on the schedule. Nearby cities are usually within the hour; farther out takes longer. Call and Mickey gives you a real arrival time for Norwalk.

Are estimates free?

Yes. Describe the problem and you'll get a real price on the call. If the job needs a look first, Mickey comes out and gives you the estimate in person. Free either way, and the price doesn't move without your OK.

Are you available nights and weekends?

Yes: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays included. Plumbing emergencies don't check the clock, so neither does Mickey.

Do you work on older Norwalk homes?

That's most of the work. Homes from the 40s and 50s with original galvanized pipe or clay sewer lines are exactly what Mickey grew up fixing, and where the free under-house inspection pays off most.

Do you serve apartments and businesses in Norwalk?

Yes. Duplexes, apartment buildings, shops, and restaurants get the same free estimate and the same warranty as a single-family home.

Why do water heaters in Norwalk seem to wear out early?

Hard water. Scale builds up on the bottom of the tank and in the fittings, which makes the heater work harder and fail sooner. Flushing the tank once a year helps. When it is time to replace, Mickey installs the new one the same day in most cases.

Who is responsible for the sewer line at a Norwalk house?

Typically the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to the connection at the street, and the city maintains the main. If the main is the problem, Mickey will tell you so instead of charging you to fix something that is not yours.

Do I need a permit for a repipe or water heater in Norwalk?

Water heater replacements and repipes generally require a permit from the City of Norwalk. Mickey handles the paperwork and does the work to code so it passes inspection the first time.

Which Norwalk neighborhoods do you cover?

All of them. North Norwalk near Firestone and the 5, the central neighborhoods around Norwalk Boulevard and Imperial, the streets near Cerritos College, and the tracts south toward Rosecrans and Alondra. Same response, same price, anywhere in the city.
