“When I called him out and he immediately came my house within 2 hours and did a really quick and great job for my bathroom.”

“Dan and his crew are absolutely the best! Professional, communicative and fair prices. Couldn't ask for anything more!”
Why it happens
What Agoura Hills is plumbed with
Old Agoura kept its acre lots and raised foundations, so you can get to a leak from the crawlspace. The trouble is distance. Water and sewer runs go hundreds of feet, and a long run usually fails in the middle. Some parcels are still on septic. Finding the fault takes longer than the repair.
Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon, south of the freeway, are seventies and eighties slab tracts. Expect aging copper and slab leaks, and a pressure regulator that may have quit years ago without anyone noticing.
Streets and pockets we work in: Old Agoura, Morrison Ranch, Liberty Canyon, Lake Lindero, Chesebro, Fountainwood.

What people in Agoura Hills call about
Everything draining slowly at once
Septic-side drain work →If you're on septic, everything up to the tank is plumbing. We'll tell you which side of the tank the problem's on.
Warm spot underfoot in the tract houses
Slab leaks in the tracts →Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon are the right age for it. We find the leak, then fix the spot or reroute the line.

Barns, bibs & outbuildings →Stable lines, tack room sinks, hose bibs, and outdoor fittings that split in a cold January week.
Dan's worked both halves of town for decades and still does the work himself.

Recent jobs
A slab leak under a bedroom closet
It started as a slow shower drain. We traced the copper under the slab and found a leak, and the leak-locating specialist we bring in marked it and the post-tensioned cables. We saw-cut and jackhammered the closet floor, found a pinhole in a one-inch copper line and replaced the section.
Slab leaks →Three new toilets in a morning
Set three owner-supplied toilets with new wax seals and supply lines, and snaked the kids' shower on the way out.
Repairs →A condensate line with nowhere to go
Rerouted the air conditioner's condensate drain to the front of the garage so it stopped draining where it shouldn't.

By the job
What we do in Agoura Hills, job by job
Leak detection & repair in Agoura Hills
Finding a leak in Agoura Hills depends on which side of the freeway you're on. South of it, Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon are seventies and eighties slab houses with copper in the concrete. Old Agoura, north of it, has long private water lines across acre lots, where the wet patch can be far from the leak. We find it from the surface first.
Slab leak repair in Agoura Hills
The slab leak we fixed under an Agoura Hills bedroom closet in November 2023 is typical. It was a pinhole in a one-inch copper line under a seventies house.
Water heater repair & replacement in Agoura Hills
Summer heat in Agoura Hills garages shortens the life of the water heater most houses keep out there.
Drain cleaning in Agoura Hills
Some Old Agoura parcels in Agoura Hills are on septic, so drain cleaning there starts with which side of the tank the problem is on.
Sewer camera inspection & sewer repair in Agoura Hills
On an Old Agoura lot in Agoura Hills, a sewer camera inspection can cover a few hundred feet of lateral, and a wet patch in the yard is often nowhere near the fault.
Copper & PEX repiping in Agoura Hills
Repiping comes up in Agoura Hills mostly in Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon, where the original copper in the slab has leaked more than once.
Plumbing repairs in Agoura Hills
South of the freeway in Agoura Hills, plumbing repairs are the usual toilets, faucets and disposals, and the truck carries those parts.
Tankless water heaters in Agoura Hills
Agoura Hills tankless conversions start at the gas meter, because a whole-house unit wants 150,000 BTU or more and the line usually has to be upsized.
Gas line installation & repair in Agoura Hills
In Agoura Hills, gas line work is mostly new runs to a built-in BBQ, a fire pit, a pool heater or a dryer.
Water pressure regulators in Agoura Hills
The pressure regulator is the part people in Agoura Hills notice last. In Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon, the one at the front hose bib was set once and has been giving up for years. You'll see fill valves and angle stops failing one after another. A gauge reads it in a minute, and over 80 psi means the regulator is done.
