Why it happens
What Calabasas
is plumbed with
Calabasas grew fast once the water district formed, starting in the late sixties. A lot of Calabasas Park is from the seventies and eighties. In those houses the original heaters, pressure regulators and supply lines are well past their first replacement, and the copper is old enough to start pinholing.
The water comes from Las Virgenes Municipal Water District. It runs about eight or nine grains of hardness and is treated with chloramines, which wear out the rubber in flappers, fill valves and washers sooner than plain chlorine does.
The city protects its oaks, even small ones near the house. A sewer line that crosses a root zone needs a permit and fencing before anyone digs, so we find the line and plan around the tree first.
Streets and pockets we work in: Calabasas Park, Calabasas Hills, Mont Calabasas, The Oaks, Mulholland Heights, Saratoga Hills, Park Moderne.

What people in
Calabasas call about
02
A water bill that jumped
Leak detection →We find it before anything gets opened up, then talk through a spot repair or a reroute.
03
The toilet keeps running
Toilets & fill valves →Chloramine is hard on flappers and fill valves. It's a short repair, and we check the shutoffs while we're there.
04
The drain backs up every few months
Sewer laterals & roots →A camera shows which joint has gone, and whether the fix crosses a protected oak's root zone.
Dan's Plumbing has worked out of Westlake Village since 1977, fifteen minutes up the 101.
