What Is High-Pressure Pipe Jetting?
What is fiber-optic pipeline video inspection?
This is a diagnostic process whereby a high-resolution fiber-optic video camera is inserted in a pipeline to view the pipe from the inside. It takes the guesswork out of diagnosing a pipeline problem and can pinpoint exactly where a problem is and exactly how to fix it in the most cost-effective manner.
What is high-pressure pipe jetting?
This is the most effective method of completely cleaning the inside of a pipeline. Water is pumped through a nozzle at up to 4000 psi to scour the inside of a pipe, removing roots, scale, grease, dirt, and other obstructions.
I have an unusually high water bill but I have no apparent leaks. What could cause this?
If you've checked all faucets and tub or shower spouts for leaks and have found none, the next step is to see if your toilet is leaking. This is done by checking the water level to ensure no water is leaking from the tank through the overflow pipe. The fill valve should only fill the tank to within 1" of the top of the overflow pipe or to the "fill lever" stamped on the inside of the tank. You may have to adjust the fill valve if the water level is too high. Next, place a few drops of food coloring in the tank. If the water bowl changes color within 15 minutes of the toilet not being used, the toilet is leaking.

Safety Tips For Kitchen Sinks And Garbage Disposals
Summer time fun means more dirty clothes and towels to wash! Be sure to check your washing machine hoses for bulges, leaks, cracks or anything that may compromise the integrity of the water flow. Remember to remove drier lint regularly, it could be a fire hazard if not done. Also, move your machine at least four inches from the wall to prevent hose kinking and damage. Never leave your home while the washer is running. If a flood occurs, timing is of the essence. Washing machine hoses should be replaced approximately every three years.
Be mindful of what you put down your kitchen sink and into your disposal after your cookout. Most disposals are not equipped to handle coarse items such as corn husks, celery, banana peels, and other fibrous or "stringy" foods. The fibrous foods are nearly impossible to break up and can tangle in your disposal. Some other items to stay away from are fats and cooking oils because they form clots in the pipes. It can be detrimental when it solidifies. To help prevent future clogs, run cold water at full pressure for 15 seconds before and after you put anything down the disposal. This will flush it through without causing any fats or oils that did make it down your drain to melt and then solidify on the walls of your pipes. Never put instant stuffing, potato mixes or similar "just-add-water" foods down the drain-they'll create an instant clog when you add water. Just adding water causes expansion.
Save money and energy when you go on vacation. Turn down the temperature of your water heater.
Sewer line backups are common this time of year due to summer rainwater entering sewer pipes via cracks. New tree root growth from the spring can also cause sewer backup issues as roots are drawn toward the sewer line as a source of water and nutrients. Have one of our qualified plumbers inspect your sewer line to let you know if you are susceptible to sewer line backup problems or if damage has already occurred. In either situation, your plumber will be able to help you determine the best treatment option for proper drain cleaning.

Installing A Tankless Water Heater Reduces Pollution In Southern California
When you purchase a water heater, you're making a decision that affects the environment and your health. When a tankless water heater is properly and professionally installed you will use less energy, less water, reduce pollution, and make your local landfill happy.
Reduce Energy Consumption and its Environmental Impacts
The energy you use to heat your water comes from a variety of sources: coal, natural gas, and nuclear power. So when you use less energy by using a tankless water heater you'll make a positive environmental impact in the following ways...
No harmful waste bi-products
No expensive remediation costs
No depletion of the natural resource base, wildlife habitat loss, and biodiversity threats. You Can
Believe it or not, hot water heaters have been associated with Legionnaire's disease-a bacterial respiratory disease similar to pneumonia. The bacteria is sometimes found in hot water systems that stagnates; like shower heads, water heaters, and faucets. Anytime there is a reservoir of standing water there is always a danger of bacteria and mold presenting themselves.
Upgrade your traditional water heater for a tankless one today. Contact Los Angeles area JO-MI Plumbing at 310-473-8111 to start saving money and the environment.

Reduce Pollution
Pilot lights on traditional water heaters are a very dirty source of pollution. When you think about it, pilot lights are polluting 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. That's why organizations like the Southern Californian Air Resources Board are pushing so hard for tankless water heaters-reducing pollution by eliminating millions of standing pilot lights in the nations second largest city, Los Angeles.
Reduce CO and Nox Emissions
Some tankless models receive approval for low emissions (CO, Nox). Tankless units are almost entirely recyclable. The materials in a tankless are very different from a traditional water heater. Every year more than 7 million used traditional water heaters are taken to landfills in the United States. A tankless water heater is, for the most part, recyclable, so they don't end up in your local landfill. It is estimated that if people replaced their traditional units with tankless there would be a savings of millions of gallons of oil each year, millions of gallons of propane, and billions of kilowatt hours.
