Before you sign
What to ask a Los Angeles contractor first
- 01
Is rebuilding the existing faucet sensible, or has the body and finish deteriorated enough that a replacement lasts longer?
- 02
Will the shut-off valves under the cabinet be tested first, because seized stops often force extra work before any repair?
- 03
If a homeowner-supplied faucet is used, who carries responsibility for missing parts, poor castings or a later warranty claim?
Before anyone touches a pipe
Verify the license. It takes two minutes.
- Who licenses the work: Contractors State License Board (CSLB).
- Who pulls the permit: Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS) — the licensed contractor, never the homeowner.
- What to ask for: the license number, the registered name behind it, and an insurance certificate issued to the property address.
Answers first
Faucet & Sink in Los Angeles — common questions
Is a dripping faucet actually worth fixing?
Yes — a steady drip wastes a meaningful volume over a year, and the same worn seat that drips is usually also scoring the valve body. Catching it early keeps it a cartridge replacement instead of a fixture replacement.
Why is water pressure low at only one faucet?
A single fixture usually means a clogged aerator or a partially closed or failing angle stop, not a house-wide pressure problem. Aerator cleaning is the first thing to rule out.
Can I supply my own faucet?
Many contractors will install an owner-supplied fixture but will not warrant the fixture itself. Ask how it affects the labor warranty before buying.
Do I need a permit for plumbing work in Los Angeles?
Permits in Los Angeles are issued by Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). As a rule, water heater replacement, gas work, sewer laterals and repiping are permitted work, while a like-for-like faucet or disposal swap usually is not. A licensed contractor pulls the permit — if one offers to skip it, that is the signal to stop.
Which areas does PlumberCalifornia cover?
All of California: the site lists every covered city with real ZIP codes, the county permit authority and nearby coverage, so requests route to a professional already working that area.
Is PlumberCalifornia a plumbing company?
No. Independent licensed professionals perform and contract the work directly with you. PlumberCalifornia routes the request and links every page to the official California license register.
Does PlumberCalifornia charge homeowners anything?
No. PlumberCalifornia may be compensated by a partner when a homeowner connects with a professional through the site. That never changes what the contractor charges for the job.
Does calling create any obligation to hire?
None. A call or a callback request is a conversation, not a contract. Scope, timing and price are only agreed if you decide to proceed with the professional handling Los Angeles.
