Kitchen Remodeling in Pacoima
A Pacoima kitchen visit with Navon Home starts with a camera down the sink drain, checking slope, joints and buildup before the new layout is drawn.
A drain camera is the first tool out on a Pacoima kitchen visit. We feed it into the sink line from the trap arm toward the main and watch for a sag that holds water, joints that have separated, roots or heavy grease buildup. What the line looks like decides whether the sink can move along the wall or across to an island, and whether a section of pipe gets replaced while the floor is open.
What the camera can change
A clean line with good slope lets a sink shift a short way and tie into the same drain. A cast iron pipe that has scaled inside or cracked near a fitting is better replaced during the remodel, while the cabinets are out. Under a raised floor, the replacement pipe hangs from the joists in the crawlspace. On a slab, a trench is cut, the pipe is laid with proper fall and the concrete is patched. A dishwasher and a disposal both feed this line, so its condition shapes the layout as much as the cabinet sizes do.
Vents, permits and inspections
Every drain needs a vent, and a sink moved to an island needs one that works without a wall behind it, such as an air admittance valve where code allows or a loop vent drawn into the plumbing plan. Pacoima is a neighborhood inside the City of Los Angeles, so LADBS reviews the plumbing on the permit and inspects the new pipe under test before the trench is filled or the wall closed. The finished floor and cabinets go in after that sign-off, and the layout drawn at the visit carries through to the final inspection.
What we plan and build in Pacoima
Every project here starts the same way: a measured layout, then the lines behind the walls, then finishes.
