The best professional licensed Los Angeles plumber with fast response rate, excellent rates, thorough job, and very courteous. They are tough looking hombres, but are good human beings with excellent values - they were very nice and respectful to my parents (who are elderly and extremely difficult) and also to me. They were honest and straight forward - the price they quoted me was the price I paid, despite the extra work they threw in and the fact they worked until 1030pm and did not even charge extra time. He and his partner have the expertise from doing industrial and commercial jobs that give them the ability to tackle any residential problem.
The water main burst right past the meter that left my parents stranded without water. My parents live in a house built in the 1950's. With a house that old along with shoddy additions and remodel jobs, the house had pipes that rusted to the core. Initially, Peter was trying to patch the leaking portion to save my parents money, but also temporarily provide them water since they were without it for almost 2 days. He worked diligently for about an hour but because the pipe was so badly rusted (the burst was a slit with rust having eaten the walls of the pipe), he could not save it. We came to the next solution of replacing the water lines running into the house.
Being that Peter initially made a visit after a commercial job at 5pm, I expected the longer job of installing new piping to be done the next day. He called his partner and was determined to get the job done ASAP because my elderly parents were without water. The fact that the entire system was rusted and my parents had shoddy remodel work done decades ago, the piping into the house was not straight forward and they had to break concrete to trace the lines to ensure they would be tapping into the correct line.
On the first day, they worked from 5pm until 1030pm to at least provide my parents with a temporary source of water. They were determined to do so before they would end the work day. I cannot summarize the difficulty they had, because many pipes split off the main water line into the backyard, side yard, dead pipes that were capped off, and to other portions of pipes that were a result of the previous construction. In the end, they were successful due to their ability to problem solve the issues stemming from bad rusted pipes and the need to reroute the water, but needed to come back the following day to finish the application and to make sure the system was working correctly and without leak.
They came back the second day to finish the job and were successful. The system was expertly done without leak nor any issues. They even replaced the toilet ballast in my parents bathroom free of charge! And to top it off, they poured new concrete into the hole they made - which no plumber will ever do without an extra charge. They are excellent people with excellent morals and an asset to the community. Thank you very much.
