Best Businesses in Los Angeles, CA

These guys were very knowledgeable and knew the problem with my hot water heater just from my describing it over the phone.  They were here within an hour of calling them and their price was very fair.  Great service and highly recommend.  I will definitely use them again!

Jose and his team were great. Simple job, a deep clog in our master bathroom which they took care of in less than 30minutes. They also provided an estimate of both time and money for a separate dishwasher installation (apparently the hot water valve was unsafe, a recalled part from a long time ago that never got replaced). Friendly, efficient, didn't make me wait a long time, and gave no excuses or other nonsense. No need to shop around, will be calling these guys from here on out!

These guys used to be okay once upon a time. Now they are a total rip off. They say they charge $150.00 for first hour to clean a drain out! Well, as outrageous as that first hour charge is they then try their best to upsell and to waste time so they can keep adding to your bill. You'd think their second hour would be substantially less for clearing out a drain, but oh no, you'd be wrong. Second hour is also $150.00! The technician also tries to keep making small talk, cleans under the sink repeatedly when job isn't even done, and he complains about shoddy existing plumbing (that worked for more than 10 years without any issues), crappy Bosch dishwasher that leaks (it doesn't), claimed that our main drain pipe was wrong and not threaded correctly so attempted to put on a new pipe wasting more time and finally realizing that nothing was wrong with it and proceeded to use original pipe that was just fine. Also, said the water lines were leaking (never leaked prior to his visit). Just stay away from these guys. We ended up paying $325.00 total for a simple pipe snake job under kitchen sink. Will never use them again!

Just got our water heater installed last Saturday, Jan  4th by Max of A-1 who did a professional job.
He came promptly and finished the work within 2 hours
Very satisfied with the installation & would highly recommend his services

I'm going to make this review as fair and objective as possible, based on my 2 experiences with Flood Brothers Plumbing. I was willing to give them the benefit of the doubt after my first bad experience, but as a result of the latest service I have no choice but to warn potential clients.

I like to start off with the positives. In my service appointments and phone conversations, everyone at Flood Brothers was polite, respectful and friendly. They send you text reminders for your appointments (awesome!) and the technicians call you when they're on the way and give you an ETA. This is a major point that most service companies miss and it makes a huge difference, so thank you for implementing that. They are now also doing follow-up phone calls to make sure everything went well and you don't have any issues, which is another plus.

Unfortunately, the actual quality of service left much to be desired.

TL;DR
Flood Brothers gave me an inflated quote on a fairly large project, the owner called to apologize, and I decided to give them a 2nd chance. Efrain came out to unclog my bathtub and initially it drained but clogged right back up after a couple hours. They gave no warranty, wanted to put in a camera and I said no. I had a different company come out, snake the drain, and now it works great (and they give a 30 day warranty).

Summary of Flood Brothers estimate on Jan 16:
A technician came out and I asked him to give me an estimate on replacing some gate valves in the garage of our building for our HOA. He had the incorrect address (not his fault, the office incorrectly listed my address and then failed to update the address that I gave them over the phone). He couldn't find my number (even though he had called with his ETA shortly before) and so I waited an extra hour or so while he was apparently outside. He then gave me a very inflated estimate for the job (~$7,000). I had 3 other companies provide quotes and all of them came in at around half the price of this estimate.

Giovanni (the owner) called me to figure out what happened and explained that it was the technician's first day in the field solo, and so he simply overestimated the amount of work required. He was very apologetic and seemed to honestly want to fix the issue. So when my bathtub stopped draining last week, I decided to give them another shot.

Summary of drain unclogging on Mar 2:
They were very accommodating and promptly came out to my apartment. Efrain had excellent communication and was very polite and even put on shoe covers (again, this is a often missed small detail that was a great touch). He found that our drain plug (basket attached to trip lever) was broken and pulled some gunk/hair out of the drain. And the water was draining, albeit a little slowly. He explained that it was an old drain and probably couldn't get any better. So I was thrilled. Unfortunately, a couple hours later when my wife went to take a shower, the tub quickly filled up and wasn't draining. I immediately called and let him know. He explained that it was draining well when he was here (true) and that it's an old pipe so there's no warranty (which I knew but is still kind of crazy), so he would have to put in a camera (expensive) and see what the problem is (fixing it more expensive). I asked how far he put the snake in and didn't get a solid answer. Maybe he snaked maybe not; maybe only a few feet. Either way it was ineffective.

I then decided to call another company who I had used before and knew could snake the drain. They came out 2 days later, put in 30 ft of snake, took out some gunk and 30 minutes later the drain was clear. I took a shower and it drains better than ever.

Final thoughts:
I do believe that Flood Brothers will fix your plumbing issues, but it will likely cost you dearly. There are definitely some positive things they do; however, I would recommend to find someone more experienced that will guarantee their work.

We had an issue last Saturday with the plumbing in our house backing up. First called Rooter Patrol. The guy came, took a few roots out, ran a camera and said we had a big job that would be around $8000. A follow-up call came from the company. Something didn't seem right so a friend looked up Yelp reviews and told me about Charlie's Sewer & Drain Rooter Co. At 6pm Charlie himself came. He put the camera in and took out all the roots and said the pipes were in great shape. There was even a ABS stretch of pipe that the other guy didn't tell us was there and actually said we should put an ABS pipe in. Unbelievable! The other guy also left a mess. When Charlie finished cleaning out our pipe and having everything function perfectly he did the most impeccable clean up job. I told him how impressed I was with his level of excellence and the time he spent cleaning up afterwards. He said, I take great pride in my work from start to finish and his actions had already preceded his words. I am recommending Charlie to everyone I know! Great guy, great work ethic and great integrity. Thank you, Charlie.

Alberto and his team are the best. Professional and fair. I've been using him for a while and refer everyone to him. Definitely recommend

Back again to give another 5-star rating for a quality experience! After so much back and forth with my HOA about fixes, Chris and Darcy were so patient with requests for new quotes and changes to the work order. I was able to schedule Chris to come out the same day my new dishwasher was delivered (within two days of purchasing it) and had it all hooked up before dinner time. They've done incredible work, and I will continue to use them for anything I need going forward. You won't regret doing business with them!

I honestly ant say enough good things about Rockstar Plumbing! Christian and his team mate did a fantastic job to evaluate and determine a solution for our outdoor storm drains. I honestly mean this, they went completely above and beyond - blew away my expectations. They did a thorough assessment of the issue, hardware, drain lines and even went onto the roof to determine ongoing maintenance.
Within 30 minutes the problem was fixed - including pulling a years old dog bone from the drain line that was contributing to the issue!
Couldn't recommend them more highly! Great team.

Miguel is professional, honest, pays attention to detail and leaves no traces. Finding a good and reliable plumber can be difficult - I'm so glad I came across New Pro Plumbing. I will most definitely be reaching back out to Miguel for future services. And I would highly recommend him to anyone.

Just bought a new home and found out the main sewage pipe that goes to the street had a crack and tree roots and could collapse any day. I called around town and everyone was giving me crazy expensive prices and not very knowledgeable. I called and spoke with Victor and he was very professional and friendly. The price he quoted me was very reasonable compared to the other companies. Victor and his crew did an amazing job, very professional and their equipment seemed top of the line (see all my pictures I posted). The company is licensed by CSLB. Would highly recommend and will definitely use their services again. Thank you Victor!

These guys were awesome. Had some toilet issues that were minor but I was unable to fix myself. They were clear with communication of when they could come out (roughly 2 hours) and were professional and a fair price.

Great job! They were quick and affordable. They explained everything and were able to fix my problem.

Matt came out, super friendly & informed. I've had other plumbers out here trying to fix this drain, and still charge me w/o fixing it. Matt fixed it in short order.

Matt was very personable/honest. Cool dude. Highly recommend this Rocket Plumbing. My new goto plumber!

Summary: Everyone at New Generation Plumbing is a pro with integrity, skills and commitment to problem solving and quality--especially Jose and Esteban.

I've met 6 different techs at New Generation, because I bought a house that is even more busted than we thought. I can't afford to do everything this house needs right away, including all the plumbing. But we decided to have a toilet installed, sinks snaked and a tankless water heater installed. We were dreading the cost of the new heater, but feel like we got a good price and an incredible value for the quality of the workmanship from the team that installed it.

Jose and Esteban showed up exactly on time for each day of the job, and worked nonstop for 7 hrs straight building an entirely new system of pipes for the tankless app heater in a new, more efficient location, and they left the old heater's spot looking clean and fresh. Jose was really transparent and explained all of my options at every step, and addressed other safety issues he came across along the way efficiently and creatively. He answered every question I had about materials they were using, how things worked, and what I should look out for in the future. It was the best experience with any company I've had in trying to get this house functioning.

Follow up is excellent--the day after the install I had a question and the office folks worked to find a tech who could come right away on a weekend. Jake came out and answered my concerns quickly and assured me it was no big deal to make the trip, because we did a job for you, you're our priority! Knowing they won't leave me hanging if something comes up is a big deal when you are spending a lot on essential systems for your house. Happy we called the New Generation team.

First of all, Zorro's prices are very fair and competitive.  Never once did he try to pressure us into buying a particular brand of water heater, which was very much appreciated.  When he arrived, he was on time, professional and completed the job without any issues.  Afterwards, he took the time to explain the features of our new water heater.  You can tell that he takes pride in his work and company.  If you ever need your water heater replaced, Z&H Plumbing & Water Heaters is the company to call!

We had an emergency after I hit the sprinkler pipe in my driveway and water went spurting everywhere. I called two companies, one was Flood Brothers. They answered right away and within 5 minutes Junior called me to help with the shutoff. I sent him pictures so he could assess the damage. He quoted me over the phone and was able to pick up the parts and be at my house in several hours. Because the picture didn't show the full extent of the damage until he dug put around another pipe that was sheared, he wasn't able to fully fix it but literally didn't want to take any money for the service, even though he drove to my house and fixed most of the damage. For that reason i have faith this is a very honest company. Also, Junior was very polite and personable. He said the gardener should be able to repair the rest and offered to come back if not. I will definitely be calling this company again if and when we have any plumbing issues in the future!

Brian came out promptly to help us with a gas leak- he was very through and hard working. He was also very polite and explained us the entire process in great detail. Appreciated the punctuality and attention to detail for a matter as sensitive as a gas leak

Came Out quick! Vic was knowledgeable and put me at ease in the middle of the night .  Took care of what seemed scary but ended up being an easy fix :)

Connie is not only an amazing plumber - but so professional and caring as well. She has come through for our family on crazy rainy nights when the sewer pipe broke at 9pm, and shows up for all the little things too like snaking our shower drain for hair blobs! We have been using American Drain Works for 9 years now and wouldnt think of using anyone else
