Plumbing in Garden Grove

Garden Grove is the city of Historic Main Street, Christ Cathedral (the former Crystal Cathedral) and the yearly Garden Grove Strawberry Festival. Calls here go out from the nearest of our locations, day or night.

Its housing has some age to it. The median home was built in 1965, 77 percent of homes predate 1980, and 54 percent of the city's 50,960 housing units are single-family houses.

Much of that is mid-century tract housing. Houses from the 1950s and 1960s often still run galvanized water pipe and cast iron drains, many sit on concrete slabs, and mature trees on the older streets send their roots into clay sewer laterals.

With roughly half the homes standalone and half attached or in apartment buildings, a backup can belong to one house or to a whole building. We find out which before quoting, and the price is in writing before any work begins.

Garden Grove borders Anaheim, Cypress, Fountain Valley, Los Alamitos, Orange, Santa Ana, Stanton and Westminster, and we cover every one of them, so help is sent from whichever of our locations is closest. Someone answers the phone at any hour, we look inside the line before anything is cut open, and the price is written down before the work begins.

Housing stock

How Garden Grove homes were built

  • 1965Typical year built
  • 77%Older than 1980
  • 54%Detached houses
  • 50,960Homes counted

Roughly 77% of Garden Grove homes went up before 1980. Houses of that age in California were usually plumbed with galvanized steel for water and cast iron for drains. Galvanized pipe narrows from the inside as it rusts, so the farthest shower loses pressure first; cast iron roughens inside until it snags paper and grease. On blocks this old, a drain that keeps clogging is often telling you about the pipe, not about what was flushed.

About 54% of Garden Grove homes are single-family detached; the others are townhomes, condos and apartments where neighbors share drain stacks.

Questions

Hiring a plumber in Garden Grove

Which Garden Grove ZIP codes do you cover?
All five: 92840, 92841, 92843, 92844 and 92845. Every part of the city, from Historic Main Street outward, gets the same 24-hour emergency response.
Who issues plumbing permits in Garden Grove?
The City of Garden Grove. Sewer laterals, gas lines, repipes and water heater replacements each need one, and we pull the permit for you and close it after the city's inspection.
Do older Garden Grove tract homes need repiping?
Not always. Many mid-century houses here still have galvanized water pipe, and when pressure drops at several taps at once, a repipe is often the lasting fix. We test the pressure and look at the pipe first, then give you the price in writing.
