Plumbing in Huntington Beach

Surf City USA lies across the Santa Ana River from Costa Mesa, where we are based, so most calls here are sent from Costa Mesa. If another of our locations is closer to your address, the plumber comes from that one.

Living near the beach is hard on plumbing that sits outdoors. Salt air corrodes exposed copper and hose bibs faster close to the water, so in Huntington Harbour and the blocks around downtown, a dripping spigot or a green, pitted line beside the water heater is a common reason to call.

The US Census counts 82,624 housing units in Huntington Beach, with a median year built of 1974 and 69 percent built before 1980. A little under half, 47 percent, are single-family houses. The rest are condos, townhomes and apartments, where several units can feed the same drain.

Hard water reaches the coast too, so tank and tankless water heaters here collect scale just as they do inland. A replacement in Huntington Beach needs a city permit, two seismic straps and a relief valve line run to a safe spot, and we take care of all three.

Huntington Beach borders Fountain Valley, Westminster, Seal Beach, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach, 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.

Common calls in Huntington Beach

  • 01Hose bibs and outdoor copper near the beach, eaten through by salt air until they drip or split.
  • 02Tankless units that shut down on hard-water scale, and tank water heaters that leak at the base and need replacing to code.
  • 03Slab leaks in tract homes from the 1960s and 1970s, where the copper under the floor has worn through.
  • 04Drain backups in condos and townhomes that share one stack, where the clog often sits below the unit that floods.

How Huntington Beach homes were built

  • 1974Typical year built
  • 69%Older than 1980
  • 47%Detached houses
  • 82,624Homes counted

With close to 69% of its homes dating from before 1980, Huntington Beach is a real mix. The older streets still have galvanized water lines and cast iron drains, while the newer ones were built with copper or early plastic. Two houses a few blocks apart can need different repairs for the same symptom, which is why a repeat clog gets a camera before it gets a quote.

About 47% of Huntington Beach homes are single-family detached; the others are townhomes, condos and apartments where neighbors share drain stacks.

Questions

Hiring a plumber in Huntington Beach

Which Huntington Beach ZIP codes do you cover?
Every one of them: 92646, 92647, 92648 and 92649, from Huntington Harbour to the streets off Main Street, all with 24-hour emergency response.
Do you handle Huntington Beach plumbing permits?
Yes. The City of Huntington Beach requires permits for repipes, gas lines, sewer laterals and water heaters, and we pull each one and close it when the work passes inspection.
Why do outdoor pipes fail sooner near the beach?
Salt in the coastal air corrodes exposed copper and hose bibs faster than inland air does. Homes closest to the water, Huntington Harbour included, see more pitted pipe and leaking spigots, so it pays to have outdoor fittings looked at when one starts to drip.
