I can't say enough great things about Papa's Plumbing. I called them after two other plumbers failed to fix my clogged main line, and George arrived soon after. He was hard at work in no time, and after jetting my lines, he discovered a broken clay connection that was causing constant clogs.

What I appreciated most about George was how clearly he explained each issue and showed them to me with his camera. He gave me a range of options to fix the problem, and we decided on a spot replacement. The Papa's team trenched down and completely replaced the damaged pipe, added a 2-way clean-out, and even patched up the concrete in under a day.

I've hired many plumbers in the past, but I've yet to see a team as efficient and professional as Papa's Plumbing. From start to finish, they provided exceptional service that exceeded my expectations. The team was friendly, knowledgeable, and worked together seamlessly. Their attention to detail was impressive, and they made sure to explain everything they were doing along the way.

Thanks to Papa's Plumbing, my main line is now functioning better than ever before. I would highly recommend this company to anyone in need of plumbing services. They are truly the best in the business!

TL;DR they refused to work with me as a renter. Avoid.

If you are a renter, don't waste your time calling these folks as they will not work with you. Contacted them seeking an estimate on a job ($1800 estimate from other plumber) to get second estimate. They refused to even come out and do an estimate without the homeowner calling them first. Way to lose a job, Papa's. Seemed elitist; and calling me sweetie while telling me I'm not adult enough to schedule a plumber service is condescending and problematic. Guess Papa's is the Patriarchy!

Guess what, we renters are human too.

Our tankless hot water heater went out and Papa's plumbing was the only ones open late enough to respond to our urgent request. The receptionist was quick to respond. She got someone out to me first thing in the morning. The worker was able to install a new system and fix the problems left behind by the old system we had. By noon we had hot water again. Papa's plumbing did not have San Fernando listed as an area they service, but they did not hesitate to help us. The employees are very knowledgeable and kind. I would highly recommend Papa's plumbing. Just to note, other places did respond back later the next day, but informed me that they could not help with tankless in my area. Even big name companies. So if you need assistance, go with Papa's Plumbing!

Papa's plumbing helped me unearth the hidden mysteries of my 100 year old home's sewers. They did absolutely immaculate work in replacing cracked century old cast iron pipes with brand new PVC and fixed a bunch of other stuff we discovered along the way. Finally, we passed permit inspection with flying colors.

Papa's has a skilled army of plumbers who performed flawless work at blinding speed and kept me informed of the costs and technical details every step of the way. Working with Papa's gave me some ideas on future projects, and they're definitely the first people I'm going to call when it's time.

As first time homeowners, plumbing the depths of costs required when making major repairs can be a harrowing affair, one that can *almost* make you want to become a renter again. We called Papa's Plumbing to have their technician Jaime assess what we already knew needed repair after numerous quotes and inspections (we needed a 1960s-era main coming into our home replaced as the extensive corrosion validated prior inspections/assessments we were risking failure).

Papa's Plumbing came back with not only the best pricing, but also immediately worked diligently with their sizable team to carefully open up an unobtrusive trench that didn't harm our mature oak trees and only removed the outlying brick trim of our driveway to reduce damage and repair costs. I took special note their team had obvious experience understanding the geology of Altadena's landscape, including hazards related to soil, rocks, roots and other gas or electrical lines, taking extra precautions to repair rather than compound any problems and explaining and answering questions with an informative attitude. They always arrived on time, returned calls or texts quickly, if not immediately.

Also all along the process the team's manager/supervisor Serge made himself available on-site, not only to review his team's progress, but also update us all along the way when repairs were made or any decisions needed to be made on our part. Their communication skills made us feel like we were being informed with the respect of a company who wanted to earn our long term business rather than simply cash-in on a single project. An extremely professional crew, from the youngest to most senior team member. I will not hesitate to call them back for our next round of new homeowner repairs.

Had a great experience with papas.
They came out quickly, and diagnosed the problem efficiently. He used the camera to be sure what he was dealing with before wasting either of our time. They usually charge for it, but because it was his initiative to use it, seems like I got service above and beyond. The problem was solved and I was given prices and options on how to proceed. Had to opt for only the clearing, rather than the hydrojetting I DO understand I need from his showing me, simply a timely financial decision.  But great service with clarity of issue and options left me feeling great about their company.
Bonus points for their cool classic branding on the company van.

Alex the technician was on time and professional. He let me know about 15 minutes before he arrived which was important to me because it gave me a head up to be home at the time of his arrival. He was courteous when he came in and gave me all the information I needed while assessing the problem. After unclogging my toilet he charged me exactly what he quoted me over the phone which showed honestly. He even took me outside and showed me where the main drain was just in case I gave upon a problem like this in the future. Thank you for great service.

These guys are on the expensive side. They quoted us $600 for a garbage disposal removal and replacement. We were able to find other quotes from $400 to $300. The one good thing was their quote was so outrageous that it motivated us to do the work ourselves, saving us $480.

Papa's Plumbing was a wonderful company to work with! We had a worm crawl up through our shower drain (so gross!) so I knew there was a problem somewhere underground. Someone was able to come out the day after I called. Within about 20 minutes, Alex found the problem. When discussing options, they gave us 3 different options of what we could do which all had different price points, which was really nice.

They were always on time or a little early, always kind, and were great communicators. We will definitely be using them again the next time we need a plumber! I highly recommend them.

Papa's Plumbing was Great. We called them for a sewer inspection on a property we are in escrow for. They were very detailed and professional. They took the time to explain every aspect of Plumbing. I'm glad we hired them because now we know all about our Plumbing system prior to purchasing the home. I highly recommend them to all of my family and friends.
They will definitely be the Plumbing Company we call when we need something.

I was originally very disappointed with PP but  to their full credit, they took very seriously their mishap.  As it turns out, the staff member responsible for our service had personal emergency that pulled him out of service and the home office was blind sided.
Anyway head of department, Serge took personal control of our projects and has changed our experience 180 degrees. They have been communicating fluidly, completed the first project flawlessly, including stucco patch work after running a new gas line. Also following up with keeping tabs on the future scheduled work.

They have revealed a genuine professionalism after the first mishap. They were not defensive, acknowledging the original problem and successfully stepping up to change our experience. As a property owner with tenants we need trustworthy subcontractors. We now have a plumbing service that is exactly this.

I can now highly recommend Papa's Plumbing as a reliable source for solving plumbing needs large and small.
They show up on time, live up to their estimates both time and cost and follow up to make sure the customer is satisfied.

I've given Papa's Plumbing several projects over the last few years at my house and also my rental. They are not the cheapest, but they are ALWAYS responsive, reliable, and efficient. I've had them come in after a bathroom contractor didn't adequately compete a remodel, and I've also had them come in when my previously dependable plumber became much less dependable.

Even if they are not the least expensive, the added price is definitely worth the peace of mind.

Papa's Plumbing came and replaced the old old old sewer line. While doing a check for leaks under the house, a worker found small gas leaks.  This could have lead to serious problems. I am thankful they were able to replace the pipes. About a week later my heater stopped working. This had never happened before and since Papa's were the last people to touch the pipes, I called them. Serge called one of his consultants to come and look at the problem. Turns out it was an electrical problem. Serge was kind enough to trouble-shoot this problem for me. He didn't have to do that, but he went the extra mile for me. That's how this company operates, they do great work and they are great people to work with.

I called. They came out when they said they would. 2 issues, one resolved but the other the guy told me he would call/visit 2 plumbing supply stores for the part(s) we need and get back to me. never did- told me just to call the office. Well the reason I gave 4 stars is not the plumber; but Christine in the office. She had the guy come back out- quickly and is fantastic w customer service.

My son flushed a couple of Hot Wheels down the toilet and I called them out. The tech spent 2-3 minutes in the bathroom and said everything was cleared. The next day we were clogged again. They sent out another technician - which took several calls - and the same thing happened. I called out a plumber a friend recommended and he pulled three Hot Wheels and two toothbrushes out of the line without having to remove the toilet and using the same tools. Only then did everything work as it should. So, if you want someone to come out and do a half-a** job, this is your company.

All in all a very solid company. We had them do a relatively major repair job on the main sewer line by installing a non-invasive epoxy liner (after installing some drain clean outs). We were very happy start-to-finish with their process and they were a little cheaper than a competitor. My guess is that they're a bit more expensive than a mom and pop shop, but they have a pretty large staff with a variety of skill sets so you probably don't have to wait if something comes up in the middle of the job.

Only negative thing I can remember is that one of the days they asked us to not use the water and never let us know we could use it again. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning.

Our home was built in 1949, and added onto through the 70's and into early 80's, and let's just say the plumbing underneath is straight-up crazy! Pipes that lead to nowhere, capped off, hanging loosely from hooks, sometimes tied up with old telephone wires... just terrible. So while not surprised that we had a leak blasting up into the floorboards of our kids room, we really didn't know who to turn to! Our previous plumbing experiences had been mediocre at best.

AND THEN WE CALLED PAPAS PLUMBING! First off, they answered the phone quickly. Shout out to Pricilla who is literally queen of all things water related... is she a water sign? Maybe an Aquarious like my mother? I don't know, but she assured us all would be fine and dispatched the orange van... Danny and José arrive! Consummate professionals, they were prompt, polite, and wildly knowledgable about the type-M copper that was plumbed all around the Pasadena area in the 80s, and showed us dozens of other areas along the piping that were about the burst. We were just hours from leaving the house for the day, so their timelines saved us major flood damage!

Long story short, we hired Papas, in one afternoon a crew re-piped all our crap copper with PEX and even managed all the nuances of our old house (like how hot/cold switched in laundry room .)

To Danny, José, Nico, Nico Junior, and all the names that I missed, and especially la Reigna Pricilla, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I would recommend your services to anyone who needs expert plumbers and fast. They literally saved our Christmas, and saved us tens of thousands of dollars in flood damage.

Look no further!  Orange hearts all around for the Orange van team!

We received the best service from Papa's Plumbing that we've ever received from a home maintenance provider. They took our call on a weekend, had a team at our house the next day and stayed nearly seven hours until the job was completely finished. They came back the next day to adjust the water pressure after their work (and even fixed a completely unrelated toilet that was not reliably filling while they were here!)

They were highly communicative and did an excellent job describing our options and taking pictures along the way.

I highly recommend!

I've never left a review before but I just have to for this company. Papa's Plumbing is for sure my forever plumbing company, especially Jaime, who spent all afternoon fixing a gas leak in a very tight area next to our furnace. He went above and beyond so we could have our gas turned back on tonight!  We've used Papa's before and were very happy with their service and the guys who came out. This is a trustworthy bunch and that means more to me than anything. I sincerely recommend Papa's Plumbing to everyone!

These guys are great. We had a dishwasher clog that was recently installed by our other plumber, but was shooting water up from the top of sink. Serge came by, and said the previous plumber didn't make the hole in the disposer. Serge didn't even charge me for the service. I'm impressed and now they are my new plumbers.

An associate from this company came to give us a quote, and said it was $700... he said he would email us the official quote but he never did also. We followed up with him several times and yet we never got the official quote.
The job was to install a valve for a fridge line.
We actually used our condo HOA approved plumber for the job, who only quoted us for $100 and got it done the same day.

Long story short:
- Didn't fix the problem and never followed up to complete the job
- Did (probably) unnecessary work and charged a lot for the privilege
- Left scratches on the walls in the bathroom and stairway. Apologized, but didn't really fix this problem either

Noticed one of our toilets kept running and suspected another one was running. Had received a flyer in the mail from Papa's Plumbing and also saw good reviews on Yelp so decided to give them a call.

Plumbers came and looked at the toilets and said the fill valves needed to be replaced on both toilets. They charged $175 per toilet to change the fill valves, which is on the high side based on some quick internet research, but  I wanted the problem to be solved so I paid them for the work. Later noticed a scratch was left on the bathroom wall.

Later that night I noticed the toilet was still running. Called them the next day and they came back. They didn't really do anything since they didn't observe it running when they came back. I explained that after the flush you had to wait a few minutes and then it would start running again. Guess they weren't interested in waiting around and said to call back again if we noticed the problem. They did apologies for the scratch on the bathroom wall and tried to rub it off the wall. Didn't quite fix the problem but at least the scratch is fainter. I later found other scratches on the stairway.

Called them back again the next day and they said they had to order a flapper they didn't have in stock. They said they would call us back when they got it. Didn't hear back from them for days. Guess they weren't really interested in actually solving the problem since they already got paid for some work that might not have even needed to be done.

Finally gave up and decided to turn to YouTube and the internet. Confirmed the toilets were still leaking by putting food coloring dye in the tank and observed that the color was leaking down into the bowl. Surprised the professionals didn't have any means to confirm their diagnosis and instead just changed the fill valves. Ordered the flappers off Amazon and changed them on both toilets. Problems solved and probably what I should have done in the first place. Glad I didn't wait any longer since I never did hear back about whether they were able to get the flappers.

I have been doing work with surge and his crew for about 4 years now.  The amount of detail he takes with the customers is really comforting. He is very polite and respectful.  Gives a 2 hour window not like others company's making you wait all day.   He is knowledgeable in tankless water heaters.  And got it all done in a day.   I do recommend them all the time being in the industry myself.   Do it right the first time.

I recently met Serg and his crew dealing with a situation at my moms rental house in La Cañada, Ca. The tenants destroyed and vandalized the home. Tore out the copper water piping, broke sinks and toilets, I'd never seen anything like it! Serg came out, made us feel calm as he assessed and surveyed the situation. He was thorough. He even found rocks that were placed in one of the plumbing clean outs! Serg then provided a detailed estimate and payment options that took the stress out of the situation. I will highly recommend PaPa's Plumbing for an honest plumbing experience.

Great experience with these guys. Very upfront and honest. My water heater was making a loud humming noise, I called an emergency plumber and they wanted to replace my water heater and were very pushy. Our neighbor had used papa's plumbing recently and were very happy with them, so we decided to call them to get a second look. Called the office, very friendly staff, was able to get a plumber out same day, diagnosed the problem, and it turned out our pressure regulator had failed, and our water heater was PERFECTLY fine!!! Instead of paying $2,500 for a water heater, papa's plumbing replaced our pressure regulator for $400 and the noise is gone. Our water heater works perfectly fine. Thanks guys!!

Papa's Plumbing helped me out with a water heater issue that I was having.
He came over, changed the water heater, and double / triple checked everything before he left. Serg's attention to detail is second to none and he followed up with me a couple of days later ( great customer service). You definitely have a peace of mind that nothing is going to happen and you get what you pay for! Thanks Papa!

Full transparency: we ended up not proceeding with Papa's Plumbing because our reason for calling ended up fixing itself -- but we reached out to them rather urgently and they responded the day of within a few hours. The plumber who arrived was knowledgeable and friendly -- he was open to questions and when I gave him some extra info I had from our house inspection a few years ago, he amended his suggested solution and quote (which he said was rough until he spoke with the main office). Overall very positive experience, if we have another plumbing need we'll reach out to them.

Our hot water went out on a Friday night, and apparently our tankless water heater was a little long in the tooth (18 years old!) and not functioning properly. I Reached out to Papa's Plumbing early on Saturday morning, was able to get through to them and schedule an appointment and by noon we had hot water running perfectly. Great communication, quickly explained what was wrong with our unit and our options to fix it with the associated cost estimate, and was not trying to upsell or push to pay more than needed to fix the problem. We'll definitely be using Papa's next time we have a plumbing issue.

Very responsive but horrendously over priced. Quoted $3500 for installing 8' of gas pipe. Apparently that's why they are available because their pricing takes advantage of potential clients. Very disturbing how dramatically inflated their pricing is to consumers. Don't get taken.

Papa's Plumbing was great.  We were desperate to find help for my Dad late in the afternoon on the day he had a new washing machine delivered.  The installation could not be completed unless the plumbing connections were replaced.  I made a call to Papa's at 4:00.  By 4:40 they had someone at my Dad's house and by 5:30 the job was done!.  Papa's was a lifesaver for us.  Their ability to respond in a caring, quick and efficient manner was incredible.  Papa's did the work quickly, tested everything to be sure there were no leaks, hooked up the new washing machine and made sure it was all done to our satisfaction.  We will definitely call Papa's whenever we need plumbing repairs!

They came out quickly, helped me diagnose the problem and even gave me some tips to save money! The two gentlemen were professional, friendly and knowledgeable. Their prices are reasonable, and they charge per job, not per hour. On top of this, a few weeks later, admin reached out to me to check on my satisfaction with their service - this was much appreciated and a rarity for a business these days (or at least in my experience). I will definitely use them again in the future (but hopefully I won't have to!).

I met with three plumbing companies and got quotes for a gas hot water heater 40 gal replacement and hydro-jetting the sewer line. I decided on Pappa's Plumbing.

It was all done for $1999. It was the best deal. The other two came in at $300-$500 over this price. One of the other ones was a homedepot installer whose labor prices were more than the cost of the hot water heater, and the other was allcity.

They were nice and helpful and arrived on time. Will use them again.

Was able to get a guy out to look at our toilet drain the next day and the scheduling was all good. Richard was on time and professional however, I've had my experience with plenty of plumbers over the years (I own laundromats) and like many of the larger companies, they're really interested in just getting as much money out of you as possible.

There was a tree root growing around our cast iron drain from the outside in.  He took a look and said he couldn't jet it nor could he snake it because the line was connected to the other toilet.  After consulting with his office, he said the best thing would be to break the concrete and replace the old flange with a new one.  Quote was for $2000.  

I then called my contractor friend and he looked at it, yanked on the root and took out the three foot piece of root by hand.  We ran a ton of water down the drain and it ran smoothly.  Problem resolved.  

It's really annoying that companies like this are not as much interested in helping the customer by really looking at the problem.  And he wanted $250 to simply camera scope the drain and another $100 to look at a different line.  

Several years ago, I had a really great company hydrojet the entire laundry from every clean out with camera scoping for $425.

After dealing with a newly installed but faulty pressure regulator, I decided to change out the regulator myself. Surprise, surprise, I'm not a plumber! The day after I installed the new regulator, we started hearing a loud hum and vibration in the pipes. After a week of hearing these sounds, I called Papa's Plumbing. Serge was just out, listened to my issues with the pipes with respect, and thoroughly inspected my bathrooms and my regulator install. He proposed several different solutions, but found one major issue: Come to find out that I hadn't fully turned on the water from the street. He worked diligently to clear the path on our poorly installed water main and fully opened the valve making the hum and vibration disappear almost instantly! I was so impressed with how quickly he was able to establish several different possible solutions but didn't rush into unnecessary and costly resolutions! We are going to keep an eye on the issue, and if we do indeed need to explore the other resolutions, we will for sure be calling Papa's Plumbing!

I submitted a few quotes around for some very simple plumbing work. To my surprise, Papas Plumbing came back with a quote that was (I kid you not) THREE TIMES that of other companies.  It always disappoints me to see companies taking advantage of people, and I wanted to let everyone know to DO YOUR RESEARCH.

Edit: He responded mentioning build quality etc. Well, my quote required NO materials! I was quoted exclusively on labor to swap some valves and showerheads, and I have all of the parts.

The people from Papa's Plumbing arrived within the time frame they gave me. The two men were friendly and professional. I had done about 50% of the work to put in the vanity. Yet I was told the price to do the entire job. The Daniel the plumber told me that was their policy. That the price quoted to be was the price. I said okay! The price was $345 to install a bathroom sink. I supplied the vanity, sink, faucet, and silicon to seal the sink to the vanity. the job took about an hour and a half. They were unable to attach the sink stopper.
In addition, since they were here, I asked if they could install a kitchen faucet. After getting permission from the office, they were able to do this job in an hour plus for $299. They were not able to finish the job because they did not have the proper reducer. I was told I could get it at the hardware store and to take one they had taken off as an example. When I got to the hardware store, I was told that I had the proper reducer. The hardware salesmen cleaned the reducer and it worked fine.So, I finished the installation.
I feel this might of been too minor of a job for these two professional plumbers. When they looked for the reducer in their truck, I felt most of the equipment was for big sewer jobs. Daniel and his worker were great and I don't doubt their professionalism.
So, in summary I am very happy with the outcome, with my assistance. That is two partial jobs completed in three hours for $215 dollars per hour.
Oh, when I asked for the Senior discount (I am 70 years old), I was told it was already included. Thank you? Next time I'll hire a handyman!

Papa's saved us!  We had a sewer line in nasty shape due to some tree roots.  Scheduling with them was so easy, and they walked us through the entire process and what was involved.  They even helped educate us about the piping we may want for our future dream projects.  
They replaced our sewer line in one day, and even replaced our toilet phalange flange.  When they reburied the line, they did it with so much care, you can barely tell they dug an 8 foot hole!  

I will definitely be using Papa's in the future.

Tankless water went out late one night. I put the work request into Yelp. These folks texted back within 10 minutes and helped out figuring out the problem. Next day Luke is out, diagnosed the problem, ran flush and we are good to go.
Really nice thing is Luke took the time to explain preventative maintenance and replacement filter schedule. I'm big on PM do that was much appreciated.

When a copper pipe burst under my house and started spraying hot water all over my crawl space, I frantically called plumbers for assistance. It was Friday afternoon. Two plumbing companies didn't call back, and a third said his earliest response time was Saturday p.m. I feared it would be a long weekend. Fortunately, I found Papa's Plumbing. They had a plumber at my house within an hour. He checked the problem and gave me two estimates: one to do the job that night, the other Saturday at 9 a.m. I chose the cheaper Saturday option. The plumber who did the work was efficient and knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and took photos of the work he did. He showed me not only his work but also that of the previous plumber, who used inferior copper and neglected to wipe off excess solder, which can corrode pipes and cause leaks. Due to this corrosion, the final price was substantially higher than the original estimate, but I didn't think I was being ripped off. If I do a repipe to replace corroded pipes, I'll probably have Papa's Plumbing do the job.

Very responsive to both written/emails and phone communication. Very fast scheduling. Two repair people quickly fixed the problem for which we called, and then discovered another issue that they fixed during the same visit. The plumbers were very polite, explained everything they were doing, and had a great, friendly attitude. Very reasonable prices for such fast and good service. I'm very happy I found Papa's in La Canada and will definitely patronize them again with future plumbing problems.

We needed advice about a situation we were having with our condo drain lines.  We didn't end up needing the services of a plumber, but Serj spent time providing us with honest info and feedback knowing it might result in him not getting the job.  If and when we do need a plumbing company, we'll be calling Papa's and we'll be referring them to friends.  It's easy to get blindsided by people trying to make a quick buck these days.  Thank you Serj for your time and honesty.

I had an issue with getting hot water in my ADU shower. I reached out to Papa's Plumbing and got a response right away. Richard came out to diagnose the issue and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to fix my issue instantly. I had other companies come out and not know what the issue was or they recommended I replace my BRAND NEW unit. Thanks again Papa's! Highly recommend!

This is my second round of praise for Papas. Backstory - My wife and I purchased a 106 year old house knowing that it needed just about everything. Before we moved in we had them replace the entire sewer line from the back of the house all the way to the street.

Fast forward just about a year and we needed them to come back to address water main and leaking waste lines after we excavated under the house for foundation repairs.

After stopping by to assess the job, Richard, Nico and the crew came back the following day to get started. Anyone who has had any work done in LA knows how hard it is just to get a contractor show up on time - but these guys are no joke. Seriously - the following day.

Like most jobs on an ancient house, there's unexpected things that come up along the way - but they kept us informed on what was absolutely necessary and what could wait. They were also more than fair when pricing the additional scope of work - they actually understand that times are hard for everyone. So we really appreciate that.

There's more work we will have to address at some point and when we get to that - there's no other plumber i'd call.

I called on Wednesday and they scheduled an appointment for Saturday. When I called on Saturday, I was told that the technicians were busy and won't come over. When I asked as for why no one called to reschedule, she said she was waiting for her technicians to figure out the time for the week later and would then call me. The kids wanted to play in the pool and these guys don't turn up or call to say they cannot make it. Use another service!

Papa's plumbing was great. We had a pipe that burst under our sink and flooded our kitchen. This happened in the middle of the night, and we did not know how to turn the water off to the house. The guys at papa's plumbing came within 30 minutes and turned off the water, fixed the repair and turned our water back on. If they didn't come, our whole house was going to be flooded. Thanks for their fast response, the damages were kept minimal. Thank you!

Serge's team de-scaled and patched a hole in the sewer line running from our house to the public line. Serge communicated clearly about our options, giving us choices that we could afford and helping us understand the tradeoffs to choosing one option over another. Serve was great about communication and scheduling and this team shit up just as planned. It's only been a week since they did their job but based on their overall professionalism and apparent skill, I'm hopeful the results will be good long term! Papa's will definitely be our go to plumbers from now on.

If you want an experienced plumber that understands how fragile sewers are and who takes extra care, you have to use Sergio at Papa's Plumbing.
I am a licensed real estate agent for 34 years in California, and I know experienced people when I see them....  these guys take extra care, to protect my clients sewers and other plumbing on their properties.
These guys have always been on time, and are organized and ready to happily do the work required...and at a very reasonable price too. I highly recommend Papa's Plumbing.

Woke up and found out that our water heater was leaking. I called these guys and they were able to schedule us in the following day.

They went a bit above and beyond and investigated why it leaked in the first place. After a bit of looking, they identified the water regulator was the cause and offered to repair that was well so it wouldn't break the new water heater.

They were able to fix both on the same day within just a few hours, so we didn't have to go without hot water for any longer.

Excellent service and I'll definitely call them again for any plumbing needs.

Amazing people. I called on Sunday of Memorial Day weekend and didn't expect to get a real person on the line, but I did and they helped book one of their team for Tuesday after the holiday. Then, Monday morning one of their crew became available and was there that morning ( a day early!).  Texts from the home office kept me appraised of when they would arrive and the service tech was on time, super thorough, knowledgeable and polite.

I cannot recommend papas plumbing highly enough. I had an emergency involving water leakage at my property, resulting in an astronomically high Bill ($1415 for two months).  I was ready to spend $350/hr for leak detection agency but  Papas came to rescue in time. They fixed the issue (faulty pressure valve) and replaced a leaky toilet. Very professional throughout.  The thing that distinguishes Papas is customer service and professionalism and coordination of service. They are highly efficient, communicate very well, and provide availability to address emergency needs. Highly recommend!!!

He had a wealth of knowledge which was impressive.

He also found that our home had a malfunctioning pressure regulator and no pressure release valve. He was able make these repairs at the same visit, putting my husband and I at ease in the first days in our new home.

Serge and Paul came over today to help us determine the source of some water intrusion that we had in our basement. They arrived on time, and worked efficiently and were extremely helpful. They walked us through their diagnostic process in a methodical, transparent and informative way. And when they determined that the cause of the water was likely a leak in our sprinkler system, they did not try to up-sell us or take advantage of our lack of knowledge. Instead they gave us a referral to a leak detection company and Serge explained precisely why he preferred that company over some others.  Once we have the problem solved, we will definitely reach out to Papa's sister company to complete any restoration work.

Thanks again, Serge and Paul!

Papas does the work decently well and they show up on time but they charge exorbitant prices. I made the first time home owner mistake of not getting multiple quotes and they charged me 20 THOUSAND dollars to pull up a bit of concrete, replace a drain line, put in a shut off valve, and pour a bit of concrete. Another time they came by to replace a water heater cabinet (not even the water heater itself) and add some venting from the cabinet. They were there for ONE HOUR and charged me $2k. They didn't even say how much the water cabinet costs but I'd be shocked if some thin steel sheeting costs anywhere near that. They also replaced some cast iron piping but didn't tell me about other pipes right next to it that are galvanized and are now causing me problems. Stay away. Most expensive mistake of my life so far.

Papa's was a great choice for my laundry room project. I needed to move my washer off a wall, close it up, and relocate it to the same wall my dryer was on. They completed the job and also set me up with a great handyman who was able to patch, paint, and stack the washer and dryer for me. It created so much room for me in a tight space, and has allowed me to create more of a mud room. Thanks again, Papa's!

I can't say enough great things about Serge and his team. I called them up to install a Pelican Water Softener. He was extremely responsive and thorough. He admitted that they've only installed a handful of these systems but that they could do the job. On the day of the install, he and his team came exactly at the time stated and started working right away. As his team was working Serge noticed that the system that I had purchased did not come with a full install kit (which I did not realized I had to purchase, as the Pelican sales rep mistakenly said everything was included), but he didn't let this deter he and his team. Serge started looking up youtube videos and coming up with a plan to get this installed that day. Within a few hours everything was installed and working perfectly. His team was even willing to unload the salt pellets from my car to load up in the system.

Papa's plumbing is far and away the best!! They are all extremely professional and courteous. They go above and beyond their duties. I cannot say enough good things about them. Hopefully, I won't require their services in the near future, but if I do have any plumbing needs, Papa's Plumbing will definitely be my first call....as it should be yours!!

He was so friendly, so professional. He helped us figure out what was happening with our leak, gave us sound advice and left us feeling very relieved. I highly recommend their services. With a new house to us and old plumbing, I'm sure I'll need to call them again.

Papa's Plumbing did our plumbing inspection on a new home purchase, Serge was very thorough and explained everything to us. The report and video of the line came through quickly, and it included all recommended fixes to get the job done. We needed some work done under city property and Serge sent us to the right licensed company to get the job done. I would totally recommend these guys for any plumbing inspection needs!

End to end experience was great.  Scheduling responsive, friendly. Confirmed appointment day before and day of service.  I had 3 mysteries:  slow drain, clogged/spraying faucet and singing faucet. Daniel and Jose arrived on time, diagnosed each item within minutes and resolved with simple, cost effective fixes. They were polite, friendly and explained everything they were doing and why. They were also mindful of surfaces and furnishings in the home as they worked, so I had no clean-up after their work. No up-selling.  I will work with Papa's again.  Let's support this family business!

I was recently told by a SoCal Gas worker, If you can find an honest plumber, don't ever let them go, and please give me their information.  Well, Serge and his team are the most honest group I have ever used.  As an owner Serge is great at responding to texts in a timely manner, and making sure we are all set for when his technicians are scheduled.  Robert has been out to my properties a few times, once for a water issue and today for an issue with our gas line from our pool heater.  Not only did he check the pool heater line, but he actually went all the way to the opposite side of our house, went UNDER the house, and checked all the connections/lines there as well.  Absolutely, above and beyond what we could have asked for!  
Back in January, we had some issues with our very old and corroded water lines in the house.  There were some unforeseen issues, but Richard kept me in the loop with phone calls and pictures throughout the whole process.  I couldn't have been happier with the work he did and after he left my wife sent me this text That was easy, and [Richard] was so nice!  Definitely, using Papas Plumbing moving forward!  Thanks Serge and Richard!

We have used Papa's Plumbing for multiple jobs over the past few years at our home.  None of these jobs have been planned, but they have responded to the problem promptly, addressed it quickly yet thoroughly.  They leave the job site clean and safe each day.  Communication is easy and complete.  We would recommend them without hesitation (and, obviously) use them for any plumbing need of our own.

Papa's Plumbing to the rescue! Needed some emergency toilet service and got a hold of Serge and his team. They gave me a quote and were in and out in a heartbeat. Way faster than expected lol! Everything is now working flawlessly. These guys are very honest and reliable and will definitely be my new go-to for all my future plumbing needs.

These guys are the best! One of my patients had accidentally flushed feminine hygiene products down our toilet. All our toilets clogged and by 3:30pm, none of our bathrooms worked. I called Papa plumbing and they sent out Robert to help us!

Robert was the best! Professional, intelligent, and patient with me as he explained my problem and what he was going to do. Not only did he run a line to clear my pipes, but he also gave me a quote on the spot to fix other things that were going on under my office. He was really honest and gave us the best customer service!

I highly recommend Robert and Papa plumbing! Such a great find and keep up the great work!!

Serge and his team were incredible. We were renovating our kitchen and discovered the original drain pipe was corroded and cracked. Serge arrived next day to give options and quotes. We decided to reroute the drain outside the house as to not disrupt our foundation. Serge scheduled the work for the next day and had a team of 6+ complete the work within a day and a half. They were incredibly professional and tidy and we're very happy with the finished results. Would highly recommend Papa's Plumbing.

We've had a great experience with Papa's Plumbing on two instances. They did our sewer drain line inspection during our home-buying process, with a thorough report and video emailed in a timely manner, and when we had a question about one of drains after we had purchased the home, they came out the next day to take a look. Gave us good advice, and followed up by text afterward as well. We'll definitely count on them for any future plumbing needs.

Serge is THE BEST PLUMBER! He is honest, fair, and just an all around stand up guy who is easy to deal with--he is responsive, fast, communicative, and respectful. He has helped me many times, with different types of problems, some small and some large. We have always received consistent service and he is reasonably priced. I also wanted to mention--I was confused at first because there are now two companies called Papa's Plumbing, but this is the original one, that Serge owns, and I can recommend he and his team wholeheartedly.

We reached out to them  because of their reviews and it did not disappoint.  They were easy to communicate with and extremely responsive.  They managed to come same day and explained everything in detailed.  They were professional and were extremely clean.  They gave us potential options for solutions but weren't forcing us to make a decision right away, like other plumbers sometimes do.  We highly recommend Papa's plumbing and although hope we never need plumbing services but should we we know who we're calling again.

Serge, and his crew are awesome!  My water heater wasn't working and Serge got a worker to my house the same day and discovered it was a very minor problem with the wiring.  Then fixed my sink which had been leaking - all it was, was a loose hose.   I was sure both items would need major repairs or replacement.  I will never call any other plumber.

Serge is an honest guy who is knowledgeable and will do the job right. Best of all, he will do it at a reasonable cost. We needed some sewer line work done, and he worked with the city to go through the permit process, which wasn't a small task. For our estimate, he spent about 3 hours to do the property inspection and fully explain to me all my options. You can count on him to go above and beyond for any job. Will definitely be calling him again for any future plumbing needs.

Serge from Papa's Plumbing gives the best plumbing service in the area. When you need a plumber almost always it is something of emergency nature where either clean water or drainage water is leaking somewhere and a speedy response is very much appreciated in either case. Serge came to my rescue; he picked up my call right away - no leaving messages, nothing. Not only that, here's a summary of the awesomeness about Papa's Plumbing:
- quick response
- very knowledgeable : found out the problem right away AND
- experienced expertise : suggested options and solutions
- well-connected to supplies : able to get us the replacement water heater within the hour
- equipped with good crew of on-standby handymen ready to install the heater and change the corroded piping right away
- Serge even went out of his way to try and helped me figure out what was wrong with my automatic garage door. The team of workers also cleaned up the site after they were done, unlike some who just did their work and left. Little acts of kindness never goes unnoticed with me!
- All in all, everything was done in about 2 hours, very fast!
Will definitely use Papa's Plumbing again although I hope I won't need anything repaired soon ;)
Thank you, Serge.

Words can not express how lucky I am to have found this guy. I had just purchased a house that needed inspection and minor plumbing work to clean the drains. All I can say is wow, doing a great job is one thing but customer service was an easy 10/10 and that's what is most important to me. He came right on time and I felt very comfortable having him in my home during these tough times. Came prepared with a mask, gloves and hand sanitizer on hand. Thank you guys I really appreciate the help!

Once you find a plumber like this, you never need to look for one again.
I had a serious emergency at my house on a weekend. I got a hold of Papa's Plumbing. Serge and his crew came out in record time. They fixed the problem in no time and the cost was a fraction of what I was quoted by someone else.
I can't recommend these guys strongly enough.
If you have some regular maintenance or a huge plumbing project, there are the guys for you.

I contacted Papa's plumbing over a coupons. Our bath tubs, toilets were not working well. I called them for service and they came out the time they were telling me. Tony came out. Very punctual, very professional, very knowledgable, very reliable, they know what they are talking about. Every suggestion what to do was priced so the decision was easy.Tony used the camera to look for the plug and let me participate in everything what he was doing. After he was done with his job he made great suggestions.
I definitely will call them again and i can recommend Papa's plumbing to anybody.

He came over, changed the water heater, and double / triple checked everything before he left. Serg's attention to detail is second to none and he followed up with me a couple of days later ( great customer service). You definitely have a peace of mind that nothing is going to happen and you get what you pay for! Thanks Papa!

He gave me a verbal quote and emailed me one as well. He also followed up later that evening via text which I appreciated it. In the end he was able to work out a great deal and by noon the next day we had a new water heater, professionally installed and ready to go! Thank you Serge for a stress-free experience!

He and his team immediately responded and took care of the issue immediately.  I couldn't be more satisfied as a customer than to see Serg and his team complete the job with so much passion and dedication.

I highly recommend Serg for any Rooter and Plumbing work!

Serge picks up the phone when you call, and texts back extremely quickly when you text.... He's personable, sweet and extremely knowledgeable--you just know you're in good hands with him and his crew.
Speaking of his crew, Nico, Axel and Joe were great. They worked diligently through pouring rain, and always had a smile for my child.
There's clearly a reason Papa's Plumbing has been in business for so long--they're great people who really know their stuff and do a great job. And they scheduled a full re-piping of our house for THE DAY AFTER I first called, which really surprised me.
Need a plumber, and live in LA? Call these guys.

Recently used Serge and his team at Papa's Plumbing again--they're still the best! I called him when we we got a clog in a pipe under our cement basement floor. He came out right away, diagnosed the problem, and presented us with a thorough explanation of our options, pointing out the pros and cons and highlighting the least disruptive solution. He explained everything in terms I could understand and made sure I was comfortable with our solution before getting to work. Since he was already at our house, I had him take a look at our ancient sewer line to the street, which was on the verge of collapse. We ended up hiring him to line that pipe as well--saving us a major headache and expense in the future. The work was done quickly and cleanly, and even though they had to hand dig a 7+ foot deep hole in our front yard, they put everything back perfectly. Listen, nobody *likes* spending money on plumbing, but it helps to feel confident the job is getting done right and that you and your time are respected. Thank you Serge!

I heard water running through my pipes for days and couldn't find the cause. Being a single mom that knows nothing about plumbing, I was stressed about how much this was going to cost. Serge came out and did an inspection and took care of things within 24 hours of my call. It was a really positive experience; they were so genuinely nice and helpful. I hope I won't need a plumber any time soon but if I do at least I have someone I feel comfortable calling.

Loved these guys! Serg helped my buyers out with a home inspection in San Marino today. I'm a Realtor and they needed a sewer scope inspection during escrow and they did a great job, made good recommendations and were super easy to understand and communicate with. I highly recommend them if you need a good plumbing inspector for a home inspection or if your having any plumbing issues. I know that I would use them again in the future for both my clients and myself. Also, my client used the 10% off yelp check in discount which is a great incentive for new clients, thanks again!

Anytime I have issues with my plumbing I know that I can call this company. Serj is prompt, professional, and has a positive attitude. He gets the job done, he has very fair prices, and really knows what he is doing! He explains what he is doing, step by step, as he is doing them.

He came by on very short notice, he is available 24/7 and works very well with your schedule. He has great customer service and most importantly he gets the job done!

Thank you Papa's Plumbing!

I believe Karen took my call initially and said someone could come in the next hour or two and would give me a call 30 mins ahead of when they arrive. I love it when companies do that. Serge arrived and troubleshooted the issue and gave me a few options while explaining it all in detail. I really appreciated that, no crazy sell, just honest options with different budgets and the patience to explain. Thanks for the assistance today Papa's!

I wasn't sure which unit the leakage was coming from, but Serge and Jaime were able to assess that it wasn't mine within minutes of arrival. I'm grateful for their honesty, professionalism and most of all: transparency.  I would definitely recommend them, and plan on calling them if I have future plumbing problems!

Although he said he didn't service my area and was on a site working at another house he face timed with me to guide me step by step on what to do regarding a leak I had and determining where it was and how to properly check the gauge and shut everything off. Gave me great advice and literally was on phone with me for like an hour walking thru things to ease my head . Can't thank you enough Serge!

I did not use Papa's Plumbing to do my trenchless repiping but I would have used them in a heartbeat. I am writing this review because Serge and his partner were excellent and professional in taking their time to do the diagnosis of my pipes and explaining exactly what they will do to give me a worry free sewer drain for the rest of my life. They spend a good hour and half if not more to explain without charging me a dime, and sent me a neatly prepared proposal the very same day.  I found another company who can start right away. I would recommend any homeowner to contact Papa's Plumbing for any plumbing need.

We had a shower leak.  I called Papa's Plumbing of La Canada based on the reviews.  Serge inspected the leak and determined the problem in less than 2 minutes.  Since the shower valve had a lifetime warranty, Serge gave me the option of ordering the part myself, thereby saving money.  Once the part arrived, Serge's crew arrived on time and fixed the leak in less than 30 minutes.  They were prompt, professional and timely.  I would recommend Papa's Plumbing of La Canada to anyone having a plumbing problem.

Highly recommend Serge and his crew.  We have had issues with our main line since we moved in to our house and have had multiple other plumbers jet/snake only to have the problem return.  Serge showed up 45 minutes after I called, got his video  scope out and took the time explain and let me see exactly what was going on (in the rain no less). He explained all the options and what each would cost, with no pressure as to which to choose. His crew showed up right on time to begin the work and completed all the work, which included trenching under the house and a full horizontal repipe under our home, in exactly the time frame he originally gave. Serge is an honest, hardworking guy who I will never hesitate to call for any plumbing need in the future.

Papas plumbing is A+!  I called their office and Serg.  He set an appointment for the same day came out ordered parts and fixed my problem same day.  A friend of mine asked if I knew a plumber I could refer so I passed on papas number.  She had a tenant issue that needed immediate attention.  This was at 9:00pm.  I spoke to her a couple days later and she said they fixed it the same night by 12:00... need a plumber who's fair and honest use Serg @papas plumbing!

Had my water heater burst at 8 pm.  I called Serj at Papas plumbing. He came at 9   Checked the pressure, checked the water heater and even told me to call the manufacturer since it's still under warranty.  Wow, Impressed with the honesty. They didn't try to just sell me a new one.  Fast and honest service.  Highly recommended!!

Had a great experience with Papa's Plumbing - in particular - TONY! He is such a nice guy and so skilled and trustworthy. He works so hard until the job is done and you definitely do not feel like you are getting ripped off at all. He is very thorough too. Can't recommend them highly enough!

Sounds like a scam.  Called them because they were in my area.  It sounded like a call center.  Got cut off.  Never returned my call.  Apparently don't have a Papa in my area.

Ok, this company is in my A List! Had a pipe leak in attic, He was at house exactly in the time he quoted, took a look at what was wrong, and fixed it in 20 minutes! WOW ! HONEST, not like the other plumbers in area, and the quote and job price was way less than what I was quoted by 2 of the local companies here that was too busy to help  me out! I am GLAD they were too busy!! LOL! PLEASE make this company on your A list, you will not regret it. SERG is a great plumber. Customer service is EXCELLENT! CALL THEM

Papa's plumbing is awesome. Great service and great prices. I needed to run a water line for my new fridge I had put in so I can have filtered water and ice. I called couple places but the prices were ridiculous. I called and spoke to Serge and he gave me a pretty accurate estimate over the phone after I described in detail what needs to be done. I sent some pictures of my kitchen layout as well. He was able to give me a quote right away and the price was great so I scheduled a appointment right away. His crew came in the next day and did a very clean job. If you need plumbing help give papas plumbing a call!!

Must say, i was very impressed from the initial phone call i had with Papas Plumbing. Serj was the one i dealt with and he provided exceptional over the phone customer service and was able to answer all my questions. I had a water heater issue and needed it fixed ASAP. Serj said he will be at my residence within one hour, and surely enough he showed up in less than an hour and took care of the problem quickly and not to mention the clean job he did, which is something i take very seriously when it comes to my home. Definitely recommend them to anyone.

I worked out last night I get home to shower and nothing but icy cold water comes out. I waited for the water to get warm and it never did. What a nightmare since I am a serious germaphobe. I checked my water heater and a piece from it was loose or broken i wasn't to sure. I called to get quotes and everyone was expensive and just not practical. I called Papa's Plumbing thanks to Yelp I found a great local affordable plumber. Serj was very fast and affordable. My water heater is fixed and now I have a local reliable plumber. THANK YOU!

To sum up my experience with Papa's plumbing in 2 words, it would be Honesty & Professionalism. Serge is very good at what he does. The sewer line inspection helped us decide what steps to take & Serge gave us his honest opinion of the situation, which helped us save money in the long run. Im happy to have found an honest plumber who is also extremely friendly. Thank You!

My kitchen sink was clogged. I tried to DIY with hand augers but failed. Called Papa's today, which is a Sunday. Serj answered and promised to come between 7:30pm to 9:00pm. The appointment was super smooth. I was expecting him around 9pm as that is how most business are run nowadays. But he showed up at 7:40. Ok, now he earns 5 stars on easy appointment, 5 stars for showing up early.

He started with a hand held power auger with 25 feet cable, and did not break the clog. And he told me there will be no charge for this first trial. Then he switched to a huge auger with 100 feet cable, and finally broke the clog at about 70 feet. He only charged me the second trial. The price is very reasonable, NO ripoff at all. At the time he helped me clean the mess, it was 9:00. So good price gets 5 stars, fast work gets 5 stars.

In addition, Serj is friendly and neat, so 5 star for himself.

Overall, 5 star!

I always have a problem with my drain at home and we usually call a plumber every few months to unclog our main drain. A friend of mine recommended papa's plumbing for my needs. Serj came out and did a camera inspection to see what was wrong with my sewer line. After the inspection he said that since the pipes we're very old, the pipe was broken at one point. When he said that, I thought oh boy, there goes an arm and a leg because I know plumbers charge a lot of money.  Serj found a solution for me and replaced the part that needed to be replaced only. If it were another plumber, I'm sure they would make me change my entire sewer completely and open a huge cost to me. I was suprised and impressed by Serj's honesty. He charged me a very reasonable price and got me going. Thank you Serj for your service, you have become my new plumber.

It was close to midnight when I noticed that one of our bath tub's drainage was so clogged I called Serj and he said he will be at my home in 20 minutes. True to his word, he came with his dad, the Papa. He fixed the problem right away with that big, sweet smile on his face. Father and son are so nice and kind. And, even had the patience to explain what caused the problem. I have recommended them to several friends and family because I was more than satisfied with their services. Now, I don't have to worry anymore about clogged drainage or any plumbing problems because i know that there is PAPA's Plumbing that I could rely on 24/7. Thank you so much to you Serj and to your Dad. You guys are great.

Serj is not your ordinary plumber for several reasons.  First, unlike an ordinary plumber, Serj is extremely knowledgeable and professional.  Upon assessing the situation, he is able to tell you right away what is wrong and what needs to be done.  Second, he has a lot of integrity:  if something doesn't need to be replaced, he will tell you upfront.  He doesn't waste your time or money.  Third, HE SHOWS UP WHEN HE SAYS HE WILL!  He is a perfectionist and his work is clean.  Also, he does not linger so he can charge you more.  I recommend him with no hesitation.  Thank you Papas Plumbing.

Absolutely amazing, I gave them a call around 2a.m.  Because one of the pipes in my basement broke and it was leaking all over, Serouj the owner said he'll be at my house in 45 minutes but he was standing on my doorstep 25 minutes later with a big smile on his face, they took care of my problem in no time and also Serouj warned about some other bad pipes which he came and fixed them the next day, all I can say is those guys KNOW What they're doing and papa's plumbing is my go to company when it comes to any plumbing issues in my house, thanks for everything Serouj YOU ROCK MAN!

Monday memorial day I come home from the market and I see that my toilet is flooded, and my bathtub and sink are not draining. I had an emergency situation so I called several plumbers nearby. The rates were ridiculously high because i was told it was a holiday and not a regular business day. I kept searching on yelp and came across papa's plumbing. Serj came out in a matter of 30 minutes, and took care of my main sewer line clog. His price was one third of the other 2 plumbers I called. To top it off, he charged me regular rate even though it was a holiday. This was my first time doing business with Papa's Plumbing and they sure know how to take care of their customers. From now on I have found my good and honest plumber that I will call for all of my needs.

I think my original review is meant for a different business that coincidentally has a very similar name, Papa's Plumbers. If I were owners of Papa's Plumbing I'd look into this imposter business before they get a bunch of low ratings meant for Papa's Plumbers. Anyway I added Papas's Plumbers on this site and posted my bad review there and changed my rating for Papas Plumbing so as not to adversely affect their high rating.

Original review meant for Papa's Plumbers:
I called Papa's Plumbers and requested a plumber come to my home to fix and attach a log lighter in my gas fireplace. The girl that answered took my information and said a plumber would call to set up an appointment. About 20 minutes later I received a call from the plumber, explained my problem, and he said he could come out the same day but would have to call me back with the time. He calls back a short time later and says his brother is at a different site and could they come the next day between 8-9. Sure ok. The next day comes and no one shows. At 9:30 I call the plumber and tell him I spoke to him the day before, and they were supposed to be there before 9. There is a long pause, like he's trying to remember. Then he says yes I remember, let me call my brother. Again with the brother! I say forget it, no thanks, not interested in doing business with a company that has customer service this crappy from the start.
