Van Nuys Plumbers & 24/7 Emergency Rooter Service

Van Nuys sits in the middle of the Valley, and so do we. 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. Our Studio City headquarters is a short drive south.

Van Nuys is a mix of mid-century single-family homes, apartment buildings, auto shops, restaurants and light industry along Van Nuys, Sepulveda and Victory Boulevards. Many houses from the 1940s through the 1960s sit on slab foundations with original galvanized or copper lines, and apartment buildings share drain stacks and sewer laterals where one clog can affect many tenants. Restaurants and businesses near the Van Nuys Civic Center and the airport need plumbing that stays up during business hours. We serve the 91401, 91405, 91406 and 91411 ZIP codes.

Plumbing services for Van Nuys homes and businesses

What Van Nuys homeowners, landlords 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.
• Drain cleaning – kitchen, bath, laundry and floor drains cleared so they flow freely again.
• Leak and slab leak detection – pinpointing hidden leaks in walls, floors and slabs before anything is opened. Leak inspections are free.
• Water heaters and tankless – gas, electric and tankless units; we look at your setup and recommend what fits your home and budget.
• 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.
• 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.
• Shutoff valves and sewer cleanouts – replacing stuck or leaking shutoffs and adding cleanouts so sewer lines can be serviced easily.
• Commercial and restaurant plumbing – drains, water heaters, leaks and fixtures for offices, shops and restaurant kitchens.

Why Van Nuys homeowners call Flood Brothers

Sewage backups and flooding are where this company grew up. When water or sewage is spreading, minutes matter, so we stop the source first, then extract the water and set up drying equipment so drywall, subfloors and cabinets do not stay wet. Moisture readings tell us when the job is really done.

When you call, a live person answers 24/7 and asks the right questions first: where the water is coming from, whether you can reach the shutoff, and who else in the home is affected. Same-day service is guaranteed, including nights, weekends and holidays.

Think of it as white-glove concierge emergency response: one call, a live person who stays with you, a technician who protects your floors, and a clear plan before anything starts. We have been in business for more than 15 years, and every job is backed by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Homeowners rate us about 4.8 stars from 1,000+ Google reviews. Our headquarters is at 3940 Laurel Canyon Blvd Ste 568, Studio City, CA 91604.

Frequently asked questions

Sewage came up through our shower. What should we do?
Stop using water in the house, keep kids and pets away from the area and call us. A backup like this usually means the main line is blocked. We clear it, clean up the affected area and run a camera to show you why it happened.

Our apartment building shares a drain line. Who should I call first?
Let your building manager know, then call us. We can work with them directly, clear the shared line and explain to everyone what we found.

Do you handle plumbing for restaurants and shops?
Yes. We do commercial and restaurant plumbing, including drain cleaning, water heaters and leak repairs, and we will plan timing with you so the work disrupts your business as little as possible.

We have a 1950s house in the flats. What usually wears out first?
In homes that age, original galvanized supply pipe, older cast iron drains under the slab and water heaters near the end of their life are the usual suspects. We will look things over and tell you what is fine and what to plan for.

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

A pipe burst and the floors are soaked. Will you deal with our insurance company?
Yes, we work with your insurance company directly. Snap a few photos before anything is moved, then call or text us. We stop the leak, extract the water and dry things out, and we handle odor treatment, tarps and board-ups when the damage calls for it.
