Best Businesses in California

Excellent plumbing company. Great work. Punctual. Good communication. Fair prices. What more could you ask for?  They came out and completed a job for me in the morning and then I called them a few hours later about another issue that reared it's head and I needed to have addressed. They came back the same day after they finished their other appointments, even though they were far away from my house and were pretty much done for the day. They diagnosed the problem and fixed it all within an hour. Much appreciated!

Jose and Alberto fixed my toilet very fast and professionally.  He also gave me good information and tips about future projects.  I will definitely be hiring them again!

We found our plumber! Trying to fix the leaky shower head, I found I had reached the end of my DIY skills and needed a pro. Edwin came over immediately, was knowledgeable and well equipped, and let me watch and learn from him. The price was fair and the job done professionally. Calling again for a spigot to be placed on the other side of a wall for our garden hose, Warren came to help us out-  another job speedily accomplished, well done and at a reasonable price. This is a friendly family business full of pride in quality of service and I highly recommend them!

A-1 Rooter & Plumbing are the best! We just had Max and his team replace our main water line as we had a hole in the old pipe. His team did an excellent job, the quality of their work is top notch. Max is great with his communication, his team is very friendly and they were always on time with the project timelines. We have worked with several plumbers and none were this good, I'd highly recommend A-1 Rooter to anyone.

So pleased with this company!
I had a pipe burst and major flooding in my office, on Easter Sunday no less. They were fast, kept me in the loop the entire time, and when the plumber, Brenden, arrived, he was quick to diagnose and treat the broken pipe. He was very professional, courteous and empathetic to our situation.
I'm very grateful to the flood brothers for all their help!

I am currently living in my childhood home, helping my mom and dad (88 & 90 yo). The home was built in the early 1950s.
Well, we had a plumbing issue yesterday  ..... I went to Yelp for help.
Called Charlies and boy are we glad we did.
Luis came to the rescue  ... literally. The job was much more than a broken seal on the toilet . Luis understood the importance of the issue, gathered his team, and was able to finish the job last night .
Charlies will forever be our go to plumbers and I will look for Luis to take care of any issue we may have.
Thank You  ....

I would give it 10 Stars.  Recommended by Drains Unlimited (because they were booked), which was very cool.   Couldn't have a been better service, feeling confident the entire time that I was getting honest, professional work at fair pricing!

We called Ace after a different plumber (who gave a cheaper initial quote) did a half-ass job installing our new toto toilet and bathroom faucet. After the install, The new toilet rocked back and forth when we sat on it, breaking the caulking below, and clearly wasn't attached to the floor right. We didn't trust the original plumber to come back and fix it properly. He was either ignorant or lazy. The ACE office manager Darcy was so kind on the phone and even suggested the 1st company might be able to fix it for us free of charge, but we really wanted fresh professional eyes rather than risk damage or waste more time. The ACE business owner Chris came by that day to check it out for us and easily identified the problems. The first plumber had only used 2 of the required 6 screws mounting the toilet and just hoped we wouldn't notice (screws hidden under the skirt)!  Chris also voluntarily fixed another issue the other plumber had ignored on the installation of our new bathroom faucet, to be nice. Chris was efficient and didn't over-charge even though he easily could have.  Chris and Darcy at ACE have won us over for life, and we will tell our friends. Don't buy nice new fixtures and cheap out on the installation. You'll regret it. Sometimes, plumbing included, you really get what you pay for.

We had this company come to our house to quote a few plumbing issues.  My guess is they do not have many customers who verify the price of what they charge with another plumber and verify if the work they say needs to be done really is necessary.  Chris, the technician who came to our house quoted $650 to replace a 1' pressure regulator valve (part cost roughly $150) and $325 to change out a Moen shower faucet capsule (part cost $45) and $75 to auger a toilet.  The cost would have been roughly 1k for the whole job.  I declined to have the work done.  It seemed a little bit too much and I have a regular plumber I use who does a great job, but couldn't make it over the same day, hence the call to Rockstar.  It turns out the pressure in my house was not in need of repair.  It was at 70 PSI when tested and if it needed to be done should have cost $400 or so.  In addition, the shower capsule job should cost $150 or so.  In summary,  the prices they quoted were extremely high and the work they prescribed did not need to be done.  They get 2 stars as they were on time and fixed a washer on a sink free of charge.

We hired New Pro to do a number of plumbing jobs at our house, and their representative, Miguel Lopez, was terrific. He was friendly, helpful, and ultra-competent. When one of the jobs turned out to be more complicated than we thought, he took care of it without raising the price. He also worked to locate a rare part that saved us from buying expensive new faucets. New Pro is now our go-to plumber.

I rent out a 90-year-old house and live out of the area.  I keep thinking there's nothing left to replace, but the house always proves me wrong.   Victor's been handling my plumbing issues for going on four years now and he's been doing an excellent job.   The last 4 years have involved major jobs (all waste lines from under house to main) as well as many smaller ones.  The latest was a leaking water supply main from the meter to the house.  In all cases the work is super clean and well-documented via pictures for me.  Communication is excellent and advice is too, not always recommending the big job.  I highly recommend him.

They were great! I had been waiting almost a week for the plumber originally assigned by my home warranty. When that company left me in the lurch, I called my warranty and they called Hermes and got me an appointment within hours for my leaking toilet. These guys were great, fixed the issue, educated me on what was going on, wore masks and even coverings on their shoes. I'll definitely request them in the future should I need a plumber.

Mandel is really a great service provider.  We called him on a Sunday morning for a badly clogged kitchen sink.  He arrived earlier than anticipated, diagnosed the problem immediately, explained it clearly we could evaluate the service he would provide, and he took care of the problem.  I will absolutely call Mandel and Rapid Action Rooter again the next time I have an issue and recommend them highly to anyone looking for a plumber.

My tankless water heater was having issues igniting (pilot problem, gas flow). I called, got a call back from Chris, who tried to identify the problem over the phone. After I provided some pictures, he called me back promptly to troubleshoot the issue and my hot water was back on in no time. I easily saved a couple hundred bucks so this is the least I could do! If the problem arises again, I'll be sure to call Rocket again.

Called them, 30 minutes later they were here!!! Amazing fast and professional!! Definitely our go to plumbers!!!!

I just used Z&H to replace a water heater for a second property I own after using them for my own house. Fast! Easy! Pricing is v. competitive and even a bit below. Hire Z&H!

I contacted the company on Friday, and they scheduled the visit for Monday morning.  I was very happy with the turn around time.

Then everything went downhill, at full speed...

Andy was sent out to provide a quote for changing an outside compression hose bibb that was leaking.  Andy told my son that all the piping had to be replaced unless he could remove just the hose bibb from the pipe which would not be likely because it was so damaged.  My son asked him to send me the pricing for the work.  First quote was for about $1200 IF he could remove JUST the hose bibb and replace it.  The second quote was for $1600 if he had to change out all the piping which was more than likely to be the case, according to his statements.

We had a second plumber scheduled for a quote the same day.  American Plumbing quoted $175 and could do the work on the spot.  Joseph was done in less than 15 minutes.  The work included some light soldering which was the only reason we could not replace the hose bibb ourselves. The work was completed perfectly, and we no longer have a leak.  

My husband contacted Flood Brothers and received a call back from a supervisor who said he has been with the company since 2014.  The supervisor stated that Andy had just started working with them a few weeks ago and that they would never up charge so much.  The supervisor stated that Andy said we needed a full replacement of all the pipes and that was the reason for the price.  Then he accepted this was not the case since American Plumbing was able to complete the task, so he offered my husband free services because he wanted us as customers and he was very sorry about the situation.

Thanks, but NO freaking thanks.

Our impression was that Andy saw a young son and mom dealing with a plumbing issue and assumed that mom would pay $1200 plus for a job that could be done in 15 minutes because I would not know any better.  

Shocking that this happens, and I am sure has happened to many of their customers.  Do not do business with this group.  Bunch of thieves trying to hose (pun intended) innocent people of their hard-earned money.  Go elsewhere and save yourself the aggravation.

0/0 Would NOT RECOMMEND.

Thomas was wonderful and so quick to respond when our kitchen sink was backed up late Saturday afternoon -- just two days before we had to move! He resolved the issue in less than 30 minutes, was professional in his conduct, and was COVID-ready and wore a mask the whole time. Would recommend highly to anyone in the LA/Beach Cities area. Thanks again Thomas!

I have never used services by this company but I wanted to leave a comment without it affecting their 5 star rating.

At 2pm, my roommate and I decided to watch my favorite movie, The Lion in Winter, starring Peter O'Toole and Kathrine Hepburn. (*SPOILER*) Just as O'Toole was about to kill his sons after they committed treason, specifically Anthony Hopkins, we heard a noise outside of our living room window.

It was a clipping sound, something we could quickly identify as the sound of someone clipping their fingernails. My roommate looked out of our bay window to see a man enjoying his own sidewalk manicure, sprawled out of the passenger side of the heavily branded 911 Plumbing van.  At first, we shared the smallest moment, simply identifying the event before turning our attention back to Hepburn's tearstained cheeks. But it continued.

The cacophony of clipping was unwavering, unyielding, and uninterrupted for 10 minutes. We inspected the scene once more, checking to see the man had 10 fingers and was not hiding an extra between his thumb and forefinger. But alas, everything seemed normal, he was just a man, looking at his nails, asking them to love him.

I only hope the services 911 Plumbing provides are as thorough and takes as much care as this man took with his afternoon pruning.

Connie's amazing, she was very thorough in her inspection and gave reasonable prices for fixing the plumbing issues in my house. Her team was quick and professional and we were able to move into our new home on schedule. I highly recommended American drain works!
