What this job looks like
in Agoura Hills
Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon houses are at the age where a repipe comes up: original copper in the slab that has leaked more than once. Old Agoura houses on raised foundations are different; with a crawlspace the lines are reachable and a repipe is a cleaner job. Permit and inspection through the City of Agoura Hills either way.
Streets and pockets we work in: Old Agoura, Morrison Ranch, Liberty Canyon, Lake Lindero, Chesebro, Fountainwood.

The job
How it goes
Two kinds of house need it. The older ones with galvanized steel, which rusts closed from the inside over decades, so the pressure falls slowly and the water runs brown after the house has stood overnight. And the far more common one here: sixties and seventies copper that has started to pinhole. One pinhole is a repair. Three in two years is a pattern, and each repair is buying a few months.
Copper or PEX. Copper is what most of these houses have, it is rigid, and it is joined with press fittings now instead of solder, which is faster and cleaner in a finished house. PEX is flexible tubing run from a manifold, so each fixture has its own line, it pulls through walls with fewer openings, and it does not pinhole. Both are permitted, both are inspected, and both come with a written scope that lists every line. We say which we would put in your house, and why.
A typical house is two to four days. We work it in stages so the water is off for a few hours at a time and back on every evening. Openings in the drywall are kept small and marked, and every one is listed on the bid so there is no surprise about what needs patching afterward. You stay in the house.

What you notice,
and what it usually is
01
Brown water first thing in the morning
Galvanized pipe rusting inside. The pipe is closing up.
02
Pressure that has slowly dropped over years
Same. The bore of the pipe is getting smaller.
03
The third pinhole leak in a couple of years
The copper is at the end of its life. Each repair is buying a few months.
04
Blue-green stains at fixtures
Copper dissolving into the water, usually from high pressure and age.

Buying or selling a house with original pipe
A repipe with a permit and an inspection card is worth more than the same house without one.

November 2023
A slab leak under a bedroom closet
It started as a slow shower drain. While there we traced the copper under the slab and found a leak. Brought in the leak-locating specialist we work with to mark the spot and the post-tensioned cables, saw-cut and jackhammered the closet floor, found a pinhole in a one-inch copper line and replaced the section.

Common questions
Repiping in Agoura Hills: things people ask
- How fast can you get to Agoura Hills?
- Usually the same day. It is seven minutes down the 101 from Westlake Village. Say what it is doing when you call and Danny will tell you when.
- Who pulls the permit in Agoura Hills?
- We do, through the City of Agoura Hills, for water heaters, gas lines, repipes and remodel plumbing. The inspection is part of the price.
- Copper or PEX?
- Both are good. Copper is what the house was built with and what a buyer expects to see. PEX is quicker, needs fewer openings and never pinholes. In a slab house where the old lines are in the concrete, either one gets rerouted overhead. We bid whichever fits the house, and both if you want to compare.
- How long is the water off?
- A few hours at a time, and on every evening. We sequence the work so the house keeps running.
- Do I need to move out?
- No. It is noisy for a few days and there are openings in some walls, and that is the extent of it.

- Plumber in Agoura Hills The whole town: what the houses are plumbed with, what people call about, the neighborhoods.
- Leak detection in Agoura Hills Agoura Hills is two kinds of leak. South of the freeway, in Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon, it is slab houses from the seventies and eighties with copper in the concrete. North of it, in Old Agoura, it is long private water lines across acre lots, where a leak shows up as a wet patch a long way from the fault. Either way we locate first, from the surface, before anything is dug or cut.
- Slab leaks in Agoura Hills The slab leak we found under an Agoura Hills bedroom closet in November 2023 is the typical one: a pinhole in a one-inch copper line under a seventies house, marked by the locator we work with along with the post-tensioned cables, opened at one spot and replaced. Morrison Ranch and Liberty Canyon are the right age for it, and a second leak on the same line is when a reroute makes more sense than another hole.
- Water heaters in Agoura Hills Water heater replacements in Agoura Hills go through the City of Agoura Hills for the permit, and most of the heaters sit in a garage that gets hot in summer, which shortens a tank's life. We replace tanks with strapping and an expansion tank, take the old one away, and do tankless conversions where the gas line can be sized for it.
- Drain cleaning in Agoura Hills Some Old Agoura parcels are on septic, with no sewer main, so the first useful thing to know when everything drains slowly at once is which side of the tank the problem is on. We clear the line and camera it to the tank, and tell you plainly if the tank is the problem. In the tracts south of the freeway it is the usual grease, hair and roots at the joints.
- Sewer camera & repair in Agoura Hills On an Old Agoura lot the sewer lateral can run a few hundred feet, and a wet patch in the yard is often nowhere near the fault.
- Repairs in Agoura Hills Agoura Hills gives us both kinds of small job. In the tracts south of the freeway it is the ordinary list: toilets, faucets, disposals, angle stops, shower valves, and the truck carries those parts, so it is usually one visit. In February 2026 we set three owner-supplied toilets here in a morning, with new wax seals and supply lines, and snaked the kids' shower on the way out. North of the freeway, in Old Agoura, it runs more to hose bibs, stable lines and tack room sinks, and the outdoor fittings that split during a cold week in January. You get the price before we start.
- Tankless in Agoura Hills Tankless conversions in Agoura Hills start at the gas meter. A tank draws about 40,000 BTU and a whole-house tankless wants 150,000 or more, so the line from the meter usually has to be upsized, and the venting changes with the unit. Most heaters here sit in a garage that gets hot in summer, which is hard on a tank. Las Virgenes supplies the water and it is hard, so the heat exchanger scales and wants a descale once a year. The isolation valves we fit keep that to about half an hour. Permit and inspection through the City of Agoura Hills.
- Gas lines in Agoura Hills Gas lines in Agoura Hills are permitted and inspected through the City of Agoura Hills, and every line is tested under pressure before the gas goes back on. If you smell gas, leave the house and call SoCalGas from outside first. The repair is ours after that. Most of the work is new runs: a built-in BBQ or an outdoor kitchen, a fire pit, a pool heater, a range, a dryer. Each is sized by the appliance and the length of the run, which on an Old Agoura lot can be a long way from the meter. Upsizing for a tankless is the other half.
- Pressure regulators in Agoura Hills In Agoura Hills the regulator is the part people notice last.
