OC Rooter

Called Fernando after I saw his Yelp reviews.  I am glad I did.  Fernando came about an hour after I initially called.  The kitchen sink was backing up.  It was a very stubborn job as the pipes are old (about 70 years) and have a lot of old grease.  Unfortunately he needed to come back a second time but he guarantees his work.  He was very clean & cleaned up after himself after he left.  His rates are very reasonable and he is an honest businessman.

I called Fernando late last night -- around 1030pm, as my parent's drains were backed up.  With my father being ill, it was extremely important that the problem got fixed ASAP.  He returned my call THAT NIGHT.  Arranged to be at their house at noon -- showed up EARLY (unheard of these days!!).  Mom told him to do whatever he needed to do to fix the drains, which for some, would mean taking advantage of  the customer.  Not Fernando -- he insisted on quoting her price before he began working.  He fixed the problem quickly and could not have been any nicer.  Would definitely recommend him for your plumbing needs!!!

Fernando showed up within 30 minutes, cleared my drain for $75.00 (flat rate as advertized) and cleaned my shower before he left. WooHoo Love this guy!!! No drama, no up charges. My new go to plumber.

Excellent service -- showed up early and was knowledgeable, confident and calm.  Recommended small fixes I could do myself that other plumbers never had, and fixed the problem in less than half the time of the last plumber we had out.  Reasonable prices.  Will definitely be using Fernando again.

I had some leak problems on two separate occasions and called Fernando both times after he was refereed to me by a good friend of my.  He was responsive and prompt each and every time.  Extremely skilled, very professional, and up front about cost.  Can't ask for anymore.  Highly recommended.

Fernando cleared a difficult clog in my kitchen sink drain. I think he is the best plumber I have ever hired. He is a consummate professional.

OC Rooter is top notch. I will refer Fernando to all friends and family.  My main line backed up and needed to be snaked. I called in the afternoon and he came right out. He is very professional,  clean and walked me through  the process. I am always happy to support small business owners. Thank you for a great job.

I work with contractors and subs regularly. So my opinion of OC Rooter isn't emotion based. It's based on enough work orders I've given to the owner, Fernando, over the five or so years I've been using him. Fernando has been coming out to take care of our residence kitchen drains and various other plumbing orders. Just this morning, he came out to take care of a clear water backup in the downstairs toilet. Turned out it was a clog with some roots between the toilet and the garage main drain access. I've been using Fernando for the last five years. And while I have my own plumbing tools, including power snakes, I know when to turn the work over to someone else. As a business person who works with contractors regularly, I can easily endorse Fernando as being one of the most skilled workman I've known. He is incredibly organized, and never takes short cuts. With all that, his pricing is extremely fair.

Working with Fernando has been fantastic. As a property management coordinator, I can always count on OC Rooter being responsible, professional and fair priced. The last job I sent to him it was for a leak detection. Fernando went above and beyond with the leak detection, making sure he did not miss anything, going out there 2 days to even check roof, attic and any other possible sources of leaks since it was not a plumbing issue. 100% recommend OC Rooter! Glad to have him as a vendor.
Amazing work Fernando!

We have used OC rooter a few times and are very pleased with the service. Fernando is prompt and efficient.

Fernando was professional, on time and cleaned up anything he had done.  He was in and hour in under 45 minutes.  Upstairs bathroom drain was clogged with hair, shaving clippings and held together with hair gel.  Fernando gave me an estimate verbally upon inspection, I agreed.  He got to work and busted it within 15 minutes, 100% water flow now.  I love the easy and hassle free experience.  Fernando is my go to guy for rooter and plumbing now.

Fernando just left.  we had him out to open a kitchen drain.   Very prompt, did the job, and cleaned up after himself!   GREAT JOB all the way around.   Thanks Fernando.

The drain for our washing machine was clogged. I actually had another rooter company out here first. Their estimate went from $99 on the phone to $389 when the plumber arrived. I promptly sent him packing. I am just glad I verified the price he started work.

I found Fernando here on Yelp..yup Yelp! I called him first thing in the morning. He said he could be here between 11 and 12 and it would be $99. Having had bad experiences with plumbers not showing up I thought to myself okay, 11 - 12 means 1-4 in plumberese and $99 is probably going to turn into $200. To my surprise Fernando texted me at about 10:30 and said he was on his way. He was here shortly before 11.

He cleaned the drain out. It had not been cleaned in 30 years so it was a little harder than he thought I think. I expected him to tell me that it would be a little more because of the difficulty...and I would have paid it just for the good service. But the bill actually was $99. No upsell.

I am a Realtor and often need to call a plumber for one thing or another for homes. I will definitely be calling Fernando and giving his name to my colleagues. Thank you Fernando!

Very fast response. I was able to get them to my house within 30 minutes. Price might not be the lowest, but within range of what other companies are charging. They get the jobe done right too! If they can't fix it, you don't have to pay.

We had been having issues with our shower. We called multiple plumbers, no one could fix the issue. Called Fernando. He promptly returned our call and was out our house within 30 minutes. He was able to fix our shower very reasonably. Great timing, communication and knowledgeable

Thank you Fernando

Fernando came out to an apartment building that I own and did a good job working on my main drain problem. I noticed that he has 20 more yelp reviews that yelp is hiding. Maybe he could flush the sewage from Yelp so all of his 5 star reviews can be easily seen. Thanks Fernando!!

Charged $325 for a bathroom sink clog. Crazy!

And the work was done before I was provided an estimate, so now I'm being forced to pay! Awful.

I will definitely use another company in the future.

Why is this the first time I am hearing that a pipe was replaced, when I spoke to you THREE times after you did the work?

Why doesn't the invoice state that a pipe was replaced?

And why was a pipe replaced?

Why would a clogged bathroom sink need a pipe replacement?

I had main sewer problems to be fixed, so my son made arrangement with Fernando who was an excellent hard worker to do the job very thoroughly finished.  He had double triple checks to be sure job done.  
I even requested on going regular service hereafter that he was happy to do so.  I recommend him very highly those who need a kind service.

My sister-in-law referred me to Fernando, because they had such a great experience when he helped them with a leak from the bathroom to the garage, other plumbers had come out and put holes in walls and never diagnosed the problem or fixed it.  When he got to their house he gave them the price, completed the job and even though it cost more to fix the problem he did not charge them for it.  When Fernando came to my house he gave me a quote for several issues I needed fixed and it was done that afternoon on the spot.  He's professional, knowledgeable, clean, and quick.  He even threw in extra's!!!! Will refer everyone I know that has plumbing issues to call Fernando.  Thanks Fernando for doing such a good job and great price, your the best!!!!!

Better, Faster, and Cheaper service than I expected!
   I recently ordered a bidet to install on my toilet... and like a jack ass I tried to install it myself. In the process I broke the valve and finally decided to contact an expert. Fernando was at my door with am assistant within 15 minutes! I live in a condo so I had no clue where the main shut-off valve is located, but he found it, then he replaced the valve and installed the bidet CORRECTLY in what seemed like half an hour. If I need plumming services in the future, ...he is who I'll be calling.

All I can say about Fernando is WOW what a straight up, honest, sincere, understanding, educational, thorough expert LOCAL plumber.  You can tell he is an expert by the way he carries himself and his actions for problem solving.  Just a few days prior I received a HUGE estimate for digging out the front yard and installing new ABS pipes to complete the Main clean out which was supposedly missing from the  last maybe handy man work that was  performed at lower cost and not to code.  Fernando came on time and immediately discovered the problem and found with a simple metal T shaped tool the main clean out that the other guys said was not there.  He did 3+ hours of labor and unclogged the main cleanout under the tree,  He also came into the house and took off the problem toilet and made it flow nice once again,  His prices are amazing.  My wife and I are very impressed.  I RECCOMMEND Fernando  highly to anyone needing.quallity plumbing.

Feel free to call my cell for any further  testimonials

Fernando just did an excellent job rooting thru several roots that had slowed and finally blocked my drains.  True to his quote of $125 and he was able to come over right away.  I highly recommend using OC Rooter.  Cut out the middle man and the big name companies with tiering pricing and up-selling.  Thanks, Fernando, for awesome service and a job well done!

This is the second time that we have called Fernando for our plumbing needs. Fernando replaced an old pipe that links to the washer. Fernando was very prompt in fixing the problem as I called him and the work was completed all in one day. Great job Fernando.

Quick professional service !  Highly recommend Fernando.  Called and he was at my house within the hour.  Cleared my shower drain and cleaned up all within 30 minutes!

Great service!!  Though he was busy, he was able to fit us in.   A TRUE plumber, really knows his stuff!! The work was excellent, clean, thorough and well done!!

Very happy with OC Rooter and Fernando. I had a clogged bathtub on New Years Day. Called one of the chain plumbers and dude wanted $290 for a simple clog. Told the 1st guy to take a hike. Fernando answered right away. Sent a text when he was on the way and showed up when he said he would. 20 minutes and only $65 later and I can take a shower. Definitely going to keep his number for future fixes.

Highly recommend Fernando and OC Rooter. We had a small emergency in my medical office a few days ago, where a sink had gotten clogged and overflowed over the weekend. Fernando was recommended to me by a mutual friend, and he came in, assessed the problem, gave us recommendations, and got the job done in under one hour. His price was extremely reasonable, and the quality of his work was impeccable. Highly recommended!

OC Rooter was prompt, professional and did great quality work.   When I had a kitchen sink leak and backup I called the local Laguna Beach plumber.  They refused to give me an estimate and when they showed up they wanted $250.  I then found Fernando on Craigslist who's well done add stated a flat fee of $75.  He showed up on time and skillfully fixed the problem, including cutting and repairing a pipe.  He stayed at his quoted estimate and the work was done fast and flawless.  Do to my location, he had a small fuel surcharge which I was happy to pay.  What a stand up gentleman, if I could give him 10 stars I would.

My boyfriend found OC Rooter on Yelp (duh!). Our kitchen sink in the new house we purchased had a complete stoppage, and we wanted it fixed stat.

Ethan called for a service request at 6 am yesterday, and by 7:30 am Fernando called to schedule an appointment for 9am the same day. I was in shock. This was by no means an emergency service, so I was stoked we could be fit into his schedule so quickly.

Fernando arrived ahead of schedule, and resolved the issue within 15-20 minutes. He was professional, courteous, and efficient. It helps that his rates are extremely reasonable. Oh, and he offered a thirty day guarantee on his work.

This guy is fantastic... Definitely adding him to our maintenance contact list for any other plumbing issues that may arise. I highly recommend OC Rooter and Fernando for anyone looking for quick and reliable service!
