Hi my name is Mike and I am the General Manager for the Uhaul location in Bellflower, CA. I was experiencing some major issues with my water service and also main line sewer. I was in the process of getting bids from a variety of other plumbing companies to replace the water service and main line sewer under the building to the street. Either way it was going to be an expensive and very serious job and required the experience to handle the task. Scott came in to the store to rent a truck from us and I asked him off the record what he thought we were facing. Without a delay he started looking at what the problems were and recommending what could be done at the best price and what repair would be good for the long run. A couple of the other companies knew what they were facing and never even came back to finish the bidding. They gracefully bowed out of the running. A couple of the other companies seemed dumbfounded and seemed unsure of what the issues were. I'm just glad the way it worked out all the way around. These guys stepped up to the plate, they came in professionally, and made a very difficult job look easy. They have come back multiple times to check up on us and everything. What I liked the most about these guys was the fact that they wanted to do the work, they were honest, they were humble, and the whole time they here they treated us like family. These guys rule and will definitely be our go to plumbers from here on out. Thanks fellas for being there when the chips were down!! YOU ARE DEFINITELY A-1! read more

My tenant had clogged plumbing and wanted it fixed immediately. After calling 3 other plumbers, I called A-1 and they fixed the immediate problem. They came back the next day to examine in more detail, and this small problem turned out to be a huge job. The buried pipes under the concrete slab foundation were over 65 years old and literally disintegrating. (I saw the pipes. They were totally corroded and it's amazing they worked at all.) Long story, short, the job took over a week because we needed to replace all the plumbing lines for two baths and the kitchen and laundry and replace all the old water lines. Yes, it cost a lot of money, but Eric and his crew kept us informed daily about the needs and the problems. They worked every day including weekend and a holiday. None of us expected it to be so much work. But it would have been worse had the pipes leaked and ruined the interior of the house as well. They laid out tarps to keep the house clean while they worked, and reinstalled toilets, vanities, and all new hardware, handles, patched the concrete floor, plastered the walls and made it like new. They guarantee their work for life! I recommend A-1 Plumbing completely. I especially appreciate the lead man, Eric Carter, who helped us understand the total situation and was on site most of the time coordinating his workers. His workers did an amazing job too! They fixed everything and did quality work using quality materials. Thank you Eric and your talented team! read more

A-1 Performance Rooter & Plumbing had done an amazing job in repairing the broken high pressured galvanized connected to copper water pipe under my house. Despite the flooded water and muddy small crawl space, Bradley and his crew, Jose and Danny Boy, all wearing masks unexpectedly arrived at around 9 in the morning. I was expecting them to do the repair after a company I hired would remove the water and clean the crawl space for them to do the repair. But Bradley showed a genuine understanding to our situation where it could be very difficult for us to do household chores, taking showers, doing laundry and the like without running water for two days. So they decided to wade through the water and mud to fix the broken galvanized pipe. I was really impressed by the can-do attitude that Bradley and his crew showed in tackling the problem. So he and his crews started and completed the job in about an hour. They did a professional job at a surprisingly reasonable price. Since Bradley and his crews were so nice and very professional to deal with, they will be my future plumbers in other future plumbing projects. Bradley even calmed down and befriended my dog as they work in the house, something that I seldom observed in other plumbers I dealt with. So thank you Bradley, Jose and Danny Boy for a job well done. read more

I am a Project Manager for a general contractor in Orange County that specializes in Water & Fire Restoration, ServiceFirst Restoration. Needless to say, I deal with many plumbers on a daily basis and I absolutely have to say that A-1 Performance is a phenomenal, professional, and courteous company. I recently went through a nerve-wracking experience in the single family home I rent, and I cannot thank A-1 Performance any more for what they provided not only for services, but the common understanding and accommodation they expressed to me as a renter, and the home owners themselves. Eric Carter was the main foreman, and an excellent person. He was onsite within 2 hours of the initial damages happening and onsite everyday through the entire 2 week process. He worked closely with the home owners and whenever I had questions, swung by the house or called, he was transparent and awesome to speak with. As a professional in a similar field, it was amazing to have someone treat me with the respect I would give to my customers. I would recommend A-1 Performance to any customer of mine, and I hope to be doing business very soon with this company! read more

Our carpet was soaking wet. The carpet is over a slab foundation, located between a bedroom and bathroom. We thought we had a broken water pipe under the slab. We called several plumbers (including the one we usually call). Their estimates to fix the problem seemed excessive. We found A-1 in the Yellow Pages, and their estimate was much more reasonable. The water leak happened to be in the wall (not under the slab like we thought), and Eric & Anthony did the work in only half the time of the original estimate. Because of the much easier job, when the work was completed, Eric gave me a substantial discount from his original estimate. Both Eric and Anthony were a pleasure to work with - they acted in a very professional and courteous manner and their work was excellent. I do believe that we have found a new plumbing outfit to call in the future. I will definitely recommend them to my friends and neighbors. read more

Eric responded quickly during a big storm weekend when other companies wouldn't even return my calls. He confirmed that I needed a new water heater and quoted an extremely fair price without any up-selling. He and Danny arrived promptly the next morning for installation - on a Sunday! My installation required additional parts and adjustments, yet they honored the original quote. Allow me to reiterate: it was Sunday, I was desperate, and nobody else was wiling to help me. Yet Eric, being highly professional and ethical, refused to exploit my predicament, and even threw a few things in for free! Ultimately, I had hot water again in less than 24 hours, during a busy weekend, at an unbeatable price. And, more importantly, I was treated with the kind of fairness, courtesy, and professionalism that I thought had gone extinct. I offer my strongest recommendation of Eric and his A-1 Performance team. read more

Our experience with these group of guys was fantastic. We just moved into our home, and before buying understood there were many plumbing problems. We called about 7 or 8 different plumbers, and most of the competitors prices were sky high. A1 gave us the best price, and surpassed our expectations of quality. We ended up replacing the main line, but only to find out that our waste line was damaged as well. So we actually had to rehire these guys for a second job. The boss gave us a great deal, since we literally finished doing the main line days before replacing our waste line. The crew they sent out was very professional, and the boss even stuck around for a while to make sure everything was going smoothly. All in all, great experience. Deffinately recommend these guys.. Not only for a great price, but quality work as well!!! read more

We recently bought a duplex in Long Beach and decided to completely redo all of the plumbing. That included all new copper piping, sewer drains, new water heaters, and garbage disposals. After talking to a few plumbers and getting estimates we decided to use the A-1 crew. This was possibly the best decision we have made since buying this investment property. This company was so INCREDIBLE I would use them again and again and recommend them to anyone with plumbing needs. When they said they would be there at a certain time they were there. They were completely honest and when they finished working they left the property clean. They patched every hole they made to install the new pipes you couldnt even tell they had opened the walls at all! In addition the cost for their services were very fair! read more

I'm writing to express my heartfelt thanks to Bradley Sampson from A-1Performance Rooter & Plumbing for his fantastic service in fixing my clogged toilet. It was a complete nightmare, but Bradley came to the rescue like a superhero. He arrived promptly, assessed the situation expertly, and explained the problem and solution clearly. He worked efficiently and effectively, getting the clog cleared in no time, and kept everything clean and tidy throughout the process. But what truly impressed me was Bradley's professionalism, friendliness, and patience. He answered all my questions thoroughly and put me at ease with his calming demeanor. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bradley to anyone in need of a top-notch plumber. He's a true gem! He also gave me a wonderful Christmas price. read more

I will be recommending A-1 without reservation to all my friends & family who have plumbing needs. Having an older home, we've had our share of plumbing challenges. One of which is our clogged kitchen sink and leaky pipes. Eric came out to diagnose the problem and showed me exactly what the problem was- pipes fitted improperly by another plumber and rusty and eroded grinder. Eric was punctual, very professional, worked efficiently and cleaned up after himself. Overall, I am very impressed with the professionalism and fairness of this company. I will be using A-1 in all my plumbing needs from now on. It's a peace of mind to find an honest company who aren't in the business of scare tactics and upselling. read more

Our sewer line backed up and we called A-1. Bradley arrived within 45 minutes. The roots were cleared, but the camera showed that most of the line was 95% blocked with roots. Clearing the roots was becoming more frequent and getting old and now we could see why. Bradley suggested we were a good candidate for trenchless pipe burst technology. He described the process, gave us a price that we felt was very fair. We said go ahead. Bradley and his crew, Jose and Danny, arrived on Monday, in the rain, on time. The job was completed on time, as described. They even cleaned up! They were funny, gracious in the rain and mud - and thorough. We could not be more pleased! I would highly recommend A-1. read more

Mike from A-1 came out a few years ago when we had a major external drainage block including a split pipe running down the side of our house. It was a big job but Mike took it on undaunted with total reassurance that he could get it fixed which he did. We've been using A-1 ever since even for the smallest of jobs. When you call them, Amber picks up within moments and schedules your appointment right away - I called at 7:30 am and got an appointment the same morning at 10:30am!! Awesome! So I would HIGHLY recommend these guys for all your plumbing needs and if you get the chance ask for MIKE but I'm sure all their guys and gals are fabulous! Thanks again Mike and A-1 Performance Rooter & Plumbing! read more

Excellent Plumbing Service! I had an urgent plumbing issue, and they responded incredibly fast, diagnosing and fixing the problem in no time. During the repair, they discovered additional issues but handled them within the same budget--no surprise costs! The entire job was done with almost no disruption to my daily routine, and they made sure to clean up thoroughly afterward. I also appreciated the before-and-after pictures they provided, showing exactly what was fixed. A special thanks to Bradley, who answered all my questions and clarified any concerns throughout the entire process. His professionalism and patience made the experience smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend their services! read more

So latest update its been a little over a year now and still no problems with any of the work that Scott and his crew did. I had A-1 do a complete re-pipe of my house from the main line to the sewage. They installed a tank-less water heater, copper re-pipe for the hot and cold line, and black PVC for the sewage. I'm going to have them come back and install a whole house water filtration unit with UV filter and a water softener. Couldn't be any happier with the service and the professionalism of this company and the crews they have working for them. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking for a new plumber or to have work done, you wont be disappointed. read more

These guys are really good! Eric came in and took care of the problem in less than 10 minutes. My bathtub was draining slow and it got really bath about 4 days ago (Saturday). I went to do every trick on the internet since then, only to see the problem worsen. Finally today (Wednesday), two hand-cranked drain snakes and one rental later (a value of over $100 and too much time), I decided to leave it to the pros. What I couldn't do in 4 days Eric did in ten minutes. This is the first time I call A-1 and I will never call anyone else when it comes to plumbing, sewer or gas issues, or even projects. Thank you, Eric and A-1 for your service. read more

Scott Thomas and A-1 Performance Plumbing has been our "go-to" plumber for many years now - probably since about 2006 or so. They have done everything from re-piping the entire inside to replacing the main lines to the street for us to replacing the inner working of an older shower. You won't find a nicer, more honest man than Scott Thomas. He stands behind his work and stands behind his employees. The work he and his crews do never need a "do-over" - they do it right the first time. I wouldn't ever use any other company for anything in the plumbing line that needs doing around here. read more

OMG!! This plumber is going to be mine and my land lord's plumber for the rest of my time in Long Beach! Two times this company has come to my home for plumbing problems that he resolved by just looking at the problem and resolved it without having to do much. Both times he did not charge me and was extremely friendly, clean and wore a mask for safety. I now have a plumber I can trust and rely on. Also he liked my dog!! Please give them a call the next time you need a reliable fair plumbing company to call or emergencies or just normal plumbing needs! Mary in Long Beach read more

Not sure if this is the right A-1 Performance Rooter and Plumbing, but here goes! Couldn't be happier with a plumber! Bradley told us we needed a new washer last Saturday. Came a long way, So I said check the drains in the bathrooms since you were nice enough to show up on a Saturday. Not only did he check and clear all the drains, BUT he said there would be NO charge! Mom and I couldn't believe it! He said just give me a good rating on Google and Yelp so here it is. I highly recommend Bradley (mask wearing & everything) to one and all! Mom and I say Thanks Again! read more

I give A-1 Performance an A+. The work was done with diligent and professional care. A shower flow in upstairs bathroom was impeded by a faulty valve. They did their best (2 days) to remove the by normal means but to no avail. They ultimate had to break through the wall from the bedroom side to replace it. They also did an excellent job with patching the wall which only requires a little sanding and paint on my part - just like new. Eric & Robert kept me update each step of way of the difficulty of job. I would not hesitate to call them for future plumbing needs. read more
