- Burbank, CA 91505
Lower Burbank's Trusted Plumbing Company
Lower Burbank runs from the airport side of town down to the studio lots — the shops of Magnolia Park, the ranch homes off Hollywood Way and Olive Avenue, and the quiet streets near Warner Bros. and the Toluca Lake line. Pure Planet Plumbing handles slab leak detection, sewer line repair, drain cleaning, water heater repair and installation, and repiping for 91505 homes, with same-day service at (818) 303-4515 from our shop just up the street.
Burbank’s 91505 covers Lower Burbank from the neighborhoods near Hollywood Burbank Airport south through Magnolia Park to the Warner Bros. Studios lot and the Toluca Lake border, taking in the residential streets along Hollywood Way, Buena Vista Street, Olive Avenue, Burbank Boulevard, and Magnolia Boulevard. Pure Planet Plumbing provides emergency plumbing, leak detection and repair, drain cleaning and hydro jetting, sewer line repair, water heater service, water filtration and softening, and whole-house repiping for homes, duplexes, and small apartment buildings throughout the area.
Lower Burbank is classic post-war Southern California: blocks of 1940s and 1950s ranch homes and bungalows, many on concrete slabs, with a growing number of ADUs and garage conversions going up behind them. That means buried copper lines prone to slab leaks, original galvanized pipe in homes that have never been repiped, clay sewer laterals under older yards, and existing water and sewer lines suddenly being asked to serve a second dwelling. Hard Burbank water wears on water heaters and fixtures all along the way.
Lower Burbank homeowners need a plumber who is close, honest, and good at finding problems hidden under floors and yards. Pure Planet Plumbing is based just north in 91504, uses leak detection and sewer cameras instead of guesswork, prices the job before it starts, and delivers repairs that hold up.

WHY LOWER BURBANK HOMEOWNERS TRUST PURE PLANET PLUMBING
Licensed, Bonded & Insured Plumbers
Pure Planet Plumbing sends licensed, bonded, and insured plumbers to every Lower Burbank job, from a dripping supply line to a full repipe. That coverage protects your home and your wallet, and it means the work is done to California plumbing code — not patched by a handyman and left for the next owner to discover. Our team brings more than 13 years of hands-on experience to every call.
Fast, Same-Day Service
Slab leaks, sewer backups, and failed water heaters do not wait for a convenient week, and Lower Burbank homeowners should not have to either. Call (818) 303-4515 and you talk to our team directly, not a call center. Same-day service is available, and our plumbers arrive with the tools and parts to fix most problems on the first visit.
Honest Diagnostics, Upfront Pricing
Every Lower Burbank job starts with a real diagnosis — a camera inspection, pressure test, or leak detection where the situation calls for it — and a clear explanation of what we found. You get the price before the work starts. No surprise line items, no upsells, and no pressure to replace what can be repaired.
ADU and Remodel Ready
Lower Burbank is full of ADUs, garage conversions, and kitchen and bath remodels. We check whether your existing water service, sewer lateral, and water heater can actually handle the added load, and we upgrade what needs it so the new space works as well as the main house.
COMMON PLUMBING PROBLEMS IN BURBANK, CA 91505
Slab Leaks Under Post-War Homes
Most of 91505’s ranch homes sit on slabs with copper water lines buried under the floor. Hard water and decades of slab movement wear pinholes into those lines, sending water into the slab and up into flooring. Warm spots, damp carpet, cracked tile, the sound of running water, and rising bills are the signs. Pure Planet Plumbing locates the leak precisely and repairs or reroutes the line with minimal disruption.
Galvanized Pipe That Was Never Replaced
Plenty of Lower Burbank homes still run on their original galvanized supply lines, now narrowed by decades of rust. Weak pressure, brown water after the house sits, and leaks at threaded fittings are common. We repipe Magnolia Park and Lower Burbank homes in copper or PEX, often through the attic, so the new system is reliable for decades.
ADUs Straining Old Water and Sewer Lines
When an ADU or garage conversion goes in behind a 1940s home, it often ties into a sewer lateral and water service sized for one small house. The result can be low pressure when two showers run, slow drains, and backups at the lowest fixture. Pure Planet Plumbing evaluates capacity, camera-inspects the sewer, and upgrades lines and water heaters so both dwellings work properly.
Hard Water and Water Heater Failures
Scale from Burbank’s hard water settles in tank water heaters, overheats the bottom of the tank, and shortens its life. Rumbling, slow recovery, rusty hot water, and leaks at the base all mean the heater is near the end. We install code-compliant tank and tankless water heaters with California seismic strapping and can add softening to protect the new unit.

Shut off the water at the main valve or the fixture's shutoff, turn off the water heater if it is leaking, keep people and pets away from any water near outlets or appliances, and call Pure Planet Plumbing at (818) 303-4515. The faster the water stops, the less damage it does.
If you have low pressure, rusty water, or repeated leaks from galvanized pipe, repiping usually costs less than chasing leaks one at a time and protects the house from water damage. Many Lower Burbank homes can be repiped through the attic with limited wall work.
A water bill that keeps climbing, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm or damp spots on the floor, musty odors, stains on walls or ceilings, and mold near baseboards all point to a hidden leak. We use leak detection equipment to find it before opening anything.
If the tank is under about 10 years old and the problem is a part like a thermostat, element, or valve, repair usually makes sense. If the tank is leaking from the body, producing rusty water, or is 10 to 12 years or older, replacement is usually the better value. We will give you an honest recommendation either way.
Tankless water heaters provide endless hot water, take up far less space, and usually last longer than tanks. They do cost more up front and may need a gas line or venting upgrade. We will look at your home and tell you honestly whether a tankless conversion makes sense.
Rumbling while heating, rusty hot water, a leak at the base, slow recovery, or a tank older than 10 to 12 years are all signs. We will tell you honestly whether a repair makes sense or replacement is the better value.
Most homes do not need routine cleaning until there is a problem, but older homes with clay sewer laterals and mature trees often benefit from a camera inspection every few years and periodic hydro jetting to keep roots in check. Repeat clogs are a sign it is time to look.
Yes. We diagnose the problem, explain what we found, and give you the price before any work begins. No surprise charges on the invoice and no pressure to approve work you did not ask for.
