Pasadena Plumbers & 24/7 Emergency Rooter Service

Pasadena’s historic homes are a big part of what makes the city special, and older houses need a plumber who takes the time to do it right. Flood Brothers Plumbing was founded by third-generation plumber Giovanni Longo as a one-stop shop for the hard sewer and drain problems other plumbers would not take on, and it grew into a 24/7 emergency plumbing and water damage team. We are still family-owned and operated, and we treat every customer as a family, not a job ticket.

From the Craftsman bungalows of Bungalow Heaven and the homes along the Arroyo Seco to the Spanish and Tudor houses near Caltech and the apartments around Old Pasadena, many Pasadena homes were built before 1950. That means original galvanized pipe, cast iron drains and clay sewer laterals under mature street trees. Old Pasadena and the Playhouse District are full of restaurants and shops that need dependable drains and water heaters. We serve the 91101, 91103, 91104, 91105, 91106 and 91107 ZIP codes.

Plumbing services for Pasadena homes and businesses

The plumbing work Pasadena homeowners and businesses call us for:

• 24/7 emergency plumbing – burst pipes, overflowing fixtures, sewage backups and valves that will not close, any hour.
• Rooter and sewer service – cable snaking for everyday blockages, hydro jetting when roots are packed tight, and a sewer camera inspection so you can see the cause on screen. If the pipe itself has failed, we offer one-day trenchless sewer replacement instead of trenching the whole yard.
• Re-pipes – copper or PEX, with an honest look at which suits your house and whether a re-pipe is really needed. Re-pipe quotes are free.
• Leak and slab leak detection – pinpointing hidden leaks in walls, floors and slabs before anything is opened. Leak inspections are free.
• Drain cleaning – kitchen, bath, laundry and floor drains cleared so they flow freely again.
• Water heaters and tankless – gas, electric and tankless units; we look at your setup and recommend what fits your home and budget.
• Water softeners and filtration – whole-house softening or filtration when scale, spots or taste are bothering you.
• Water damage restoration – water extraction, structural drying with air movers and dehumidifiers, and moisture readings until walls and subfloors are truly dry. We also handle odor treatment, tarps and board-ups, and we work with your insurance company directly.
• Gas lines – repairs and new lines for appliances. If you smell gas, leave the home and call the gas company or 911 first.
• Commercial and restaurant plumbing – drains, water heaters, leaks and fixtures for offices, shops and restaurant kitchens.

Frequently asked questions

Our Craftsman still has galvanized pipe. Do we need to re-pipe everything?
Not always. We check water pressure, look at the pipe we can see and ask about past leaks. If galvanized pipe is causing rust, low pressure or repeat leaks, a re-pipe in copper or PEX may be the better long-term choice. If not, we will say so.

Why does our sewer line back up when the street trees are so far from the house?
Roots travel a long way toward water, and older clay laterals have joints they can slip into. We clear the line, run a camera and show you exactly where the problem is before recommending a repair.

Can you work around original tile and woodwork in a historic home?
Yes, we take extra care in older homes. We locate the problem before opening anything, open only what is needed and talk with you first about protecting original finishes.

Is a tankless water heater a good fit for an older Pasadena house?
It can be. We check the gas supply, venting and where the unit would go, then compare tank and tankless so you can choose what fits your home and budget. You approve the price before work starts.

Can you come out today?
Yes. A live person answers 24/7 and same-day service is guaranteed, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Can you help with the insurance side of a water damage claim?
Yes. We work with your insurance company directly, which takes one more job off your plate during a stressful week. Start with photos of the water and damage, then call us. We stop the source, dry the home and cover odor treatment, tarps and board-ups if needed.
