East Los AngelesGrill Cleaning & BBQ Repair

East Los Angeles is unincorporated county land, mostly older single-family homes and small multi-unit lots, many with compact yards. Freestanding propane grills are what we service most here. They're practical: movable, no gas line needed. They also have a predictable list of weak spots, and nearly all of them trace back to the tank, the hose or the regulator.

The classic one is a grill that suddenly won't get above a few hundred degrees. Often the regulator has gone into bypass mode, a safety feature that limits gas flow when it senses a possible leak, usually triggered by opening the tank valve with the burner knobs already on. Resetting it fixes the problem most of the time. If it doesn't, the regulator itself may be worn out, especially after years in the sun.

More on this in natural gas and propane problems. If the hose is cracked or stiff, or the regulator is visibly corroded, we replace them as a set. See regulator and hose replacement.

Many lots here are narrow, and the grill might be behind a locked side gate, on a covered patio between two units, or in a driveway against the house. That's fine for us. We work in tight spaces, lay down drop cloths, catch the rinse water and carry everything out the way we came in. We cover the neighborhoods across East LA, from City Terrace and the hills near Cal State LA down to Belvedere and the streets around Whittier Boulevard.
