I cannot say enough great things about Americana Plumbing and its owner, Gary. Over the years, Gary has helped me with multiple plumbing projects as well as true emergency situations, and every single time he has gone above and beyond. Most recently, he installed my Navien tankless water heater, and the level of care, precision, and professionalism he brought to the job was unmatched. I've unfortunately been burned by other plumbers in the past--overcharged, misled, rushed jobs, and half-finished work that caused more problems later. Gary was the complete opposite of that experience. He took his time, worked incredibly hard, diagnosed and fixed issues that others either ignored or messed up, and made sure everything was done correctly and safely. He didn't cut corners, didn't rush, and didn't leave until everything was 100% up and running. What truly sets Gary apart is his honesty. In today's world, finding a plumber you can actually trust is rare, and Gary is one of those people. He will never screw you over, never upsell you on things you don't need, and always explains what's going on so you understand exactly what you're paying for. His goal is clearly to do the job right and make sure the customer is genuinely satisfied before he leaves. Because of how consistent, reliable, and ethical he is, I recommend Gary and Americana Plumbing to all of my friends and family without hesitation. He deserves the highest recognition for his work. A true professional, a hardworking maverick, and an all-around standout in his field. God bless Gary and everyone at Americana Plumbing--this is the kind of business you want to support. read more

Gary and his team are amazing. We've been using them at our building for over five years now, our HOA loves them and so do we. They helped us with a water heater replacement and a plumbing pipe that was leaking. They are very professional and I highly recommend them. read more

Being female and I'm always concerned with getting taken advantage of with contractors, scope creep, inflated estimates, etc. I have had multiple estimates of the work and knew the range of costs and the lack of a guarantee with this type of work. I needed a bunch landscape drains cleared. They have never been able to be successfully cleared in more than 8 years. I would normally have to wear my rain gear and shovel-push water off of the property, especially near the pool equipment. Finally, in years, this drain works. You can see the silt and ash clumped in the gutter. My home backs into a canyon that had caught fire in 2010 and 2019. Water + ash is similar to concrete. Gary really had the patience clear these 9 drains. Gary came by on time and stayed for 6 hours to clear all of these drains. I only had one broken connection that connected to a pipe too clogged with roots and soil to hydrojet. The price he quoted on the Messenger did not change, even though the difficulty was worse than expected with typical landscape drains. read more

Gary gave us the most professional and honest service. Due to limiting conditions of our property, he was unable fix the problem. However, he was able to identify the problem and gave us suggestions on what to do next. I've saved Americana Plumbing on my phone. They will always be the first I call from here on out. read more

This review is for their visit in July 2021 - but better than never! These guys deserve 5-stars for their hard-working, honest, and fair pricing for same-day service today! Gary and his partner arrived on time (early actually) to begin at 9am. They did an awesome, thorough job hydro-jetting our sewer line, and even switched methods to clean the smaller, stubborn roots. They were happy to let me watch and learn what blockages they saw on the video scope. They also snaked the kitchen cleanout and slow draining bathtub, per my request. They're also going to send me quotes that I requested for a new kitchen sink p-trap and water filtration/softener installation. Both were courteous and super respectful. Thank you for your service, Gary and your partner. read more

Fair prices. Very professional. Personable. Honesty. Called these guys first. Gary reached out promptly and was able to come samenday to look at our project. We needed the sewer line from our property line up to m our main connect. The most important thing about Gary is he was the ONLY one who scoped it so we could see what extent the damage was. I got three other quotes. None of the other companies scoped the line.. They just gave me blanket quotes.They just gave me a blanket price. One of the companies wanted to pipe burst instead of using a liner. We'll, if they would have scoped it, they would have saw there wasn't extreme damage. So instead of digging two 4x4 holes,one of which was my patio, I only needed one hole. And it was where my clean out was. All in all, super fair prices, very personable, honest, and flexible. I'd also like to mention that they left my property looking nice. Obviously, there was dirt because they had to access it. But, it was filled and patted down. read more

No other plumber has been able to do so before today and I am so happy to have my problem resolved after years of waiting. I highly recommend them and will contact them anytime I have further needs. read more

Gary is amazing! I sold a house for a client in LA and needed some work done - and quickly - for a sewer and to get a permit. He went out to the house the very next morning and kept me in touch every step of the way. It was WAY quicker than I thought it would be, and he did it right and efficiently. I have already recommended Gary to other people in my industry. I feel so fortunate to have found him! read more

I hired Americana to install a new tankless water heating system. Gary was extremely helpful in helping me pick out a high quality, very efficient unit that helped me maximize the SoCal Gas rebate as well as the Federal tax credit for my 2021 taxes. He and his helper Max completed the job in a day and a half including capping off the pipes serving the old storage type heater I had and hauling it away. When they left you couldn't tell they had been there except for the new heater! The quality of work was second-to-none and Gary's price for the job was very reasonable. I will be using Americana again in the very near future for additional work that I need to have done! I highly recommend them! read more

Choosing to work with Americana Plumbing is one of the best decisions i've made. We had a burst pipe which was leaking water all over our press and kitchenette. We have a bunch of delicate equipment in our studio, so it was CRITICAL that we fix this problem ASAP. The head plumber, Gary, answered the phone immediately, even though it was late at night. Not only that, it was a holiday weekend!! Other service techs wouldn't have even bothered. He walked me through the process of turning off the emergency water cut off valve so the water would stop flowing in that moment. Then he came bright and early the next day with options and solutions. This problem was solved the moment i decided to pick up the phone. His immediacy and skills saved me thousands of dollars. Not to mention, their service rates were extremely reasonable. Furthermore, he choose materials which are made to last, so it will be years, if not decades, until we will have this problem again. I couldn't be happier after working with Americana Plumbing. They nailed it. From now on, they are going to be my first phone call. And if any friends or family are looking for someone good, reliable, affordable, fair, and professional, THIS is the number i'm going to give them. If i could give these guys 6 stars, I would. Excellent, excellent company. read more

One of my rental properties got vacant and I contacted Americana Plumbing Experts, a gentleman named Gary promptly responded and showed up on the dot the following day with his assistant. He checked my plumbing and advised me that I indeed needed my sewer lines to be re-lined just as I suspected. His service was exceptional, and pricing was more than fair. Extremely satisfied with work ethic and impressed by his state of the art latest technology in tools, I will definitely contact him for all of my future plumbing jobs. read more

Very pleased with this company's work. Prices were reasonable and very satisfied with workmanship.

Came and fixed my issue on a holiday weekend! This guy knows his stuff and is very responsive and gets the job done. Pulled out like 7 feet of roots from our drain. You need to call him for all of your plumbing needs. Thanks again! read more

I found this guy Gary on Craig's list, he well proved himself. Hard working respectful and professional. He ran a sewer camera to identify the blockage then performed hydro jetting in the in the sewer pipe to remove tree roots that where blocking septic water from draining. He also ran a rotor rooter snake Chain to clean the final miniature roots remaining. He left the clay pipe nice and clean with water flowing properly. His pricing is very Reasonable. The best part is I was able to watch the camera screen and blockage. My wife was very happy with his service. I definitely recommend his service. read more

We had both our only toilet and shower with a backed up drain that started flooding our place and called Gary at Americana Plumbing and within about twenty minutes after my call at 8:30 PM he was at our house and saving the day. He found the problem in our main line, rooted out the roots causing the issue and fixed our issue. Knowledgeable and communicative during the process. Great job and came when we needed him. read more

Gary was very responsive from the first inquiry through coming to the house and follow up. His pricing was good and he was very reliable. He solved a problem that many other plumbers could not. I recommend him! read more

I had Gary out for a hydrojet this time last year and he/the work was great. Just posting now because I wrote to him again today, and didn't even hesitate with reaching out re: new needs. Gary was prompt, professional, transparent with pricing and did a great job. There was the mainline clearing, the videos, recommendations for future work and potential timelines, no hard-sell, no up-sell - just coming out when he said he would, doing what he said he would, cleaning up after, and answering all my questions in the meantime. Good old fashioned hard work and taking pride in it. Thanks, Americana! read more

Incredible hydrojetting work. I found them on nextdoor.com where lots of local residents sang their praises. I had root-infested mainline (there are hills and tons of foliage/trees around our local city-sewer) and Americana posted a $399 hydrojetting special. I contacted them around 7:15 pm one night and Gary called me back super soon thereafter. We scheduled it for the next mid-morning. I was blown away at their readiness and availability, bc a month before I contacted Americana, I had another plumbing back-up, with sewage emerging from my clean-out after every flush or shower. At the time I contacted another co., Papa's Plumbing , because they dropped off a coupon. That coupon gave me the "right" to "only" pay $450 PER HOUR for them to hydrojet my sewer main. They spent an hour on it and told me they got out as much as they could, given their difficult access to my pipes via an inconvenient clean-out location, bla bla bla. Well as you can see, a month later, it backed up AGAIN. I scheduled a warranty-re-visit w/Papa's, but they pushed it due to what they claimed was Covid causing chronic staff absenteeism. They finally gave me a date (about 5 days after my initial call) and then cancelled THAT one, saying my tech was out sick. Meanwhile, Americana to the rescue, who worked and worked and worked it, for about 3-4 hours. They charged me NOT by the HOUR but by the job. They shot it on camera, showed me the footage of the before and after (they got it CLEAN!) and then sent me a link to a youtube post of my footage. So dialed in!!! They got suuuuuper dirty doing my "crappy" work but NEVER complained. I gave them $100 tip because I realized just how much they deserved it--in comparison to the other plumber. Fortunately, after much back-&-forthing, the other plumber sent me a refund check. Also: the camera showed a cracked city-owned clay pipe and a back-up on their end. YOU can just BET I contacted L.A. Bureau of Sanitation to clear it out and AMAZINGLY they showed up right away! Gary was able to show the city's lead worker the footage proving they had a back-up. INCREDIBLE!! Upshot: my problem will not go away. Roots are gonna keep growing, through the city's clay pipe cracks. But turns out the homeowner's responsible for the part of the city's pipe that shows cracks. It's a shame the city doesn't change THEIR pipes to ABS. What are they waiting for?! So I was advised by several plumbers to have those pipes lined with a plastic they use, to prevent roots from EVER getting in. That's next on the agenda. It's a big, pricey job. Gary provided me w/an estimate, and I'll compare it against another. The plot thickens, literally & figuratively.....! In short, call Americana. They da best! read more

Gary and Americana Plumbing Experts are simply the best. Gary is probably one of the most dependable and honest professionals I have met. He is excellent. I recommend him 100%. read more

We had plumbing issue in our house and had a couple of plummets to visit the house and give us very expensive estimates to fix it, so I kept looking for other estimates and got Gary's number from my friend, he showed up on time and he fixed our issue right away! Unbelievable! All other plumbers were talking about demolition and a lot of cost, he fixed our issue right a way without any construction.. I trust him and would definitely recommend him to my friends, he is very knowledgeable and fair person. read more

These guys showed up within hours to rescue me from a "no hot water" situation... thoroughly cleaned my tankless hot water heater unit, went above & beyond to get the job done, and restored normalcy to my life. Thank you for explaining things so well and helping my family today! read more

Had a main line blockage that pretty much made the bathrooms not usable. Called on a Sun morning. Gary responded and came quickly to fix it and saved the day. read more

I know what is good workmanship when I see it and Manny exceeded my expectation. Manny looked for the cleanout and found another cleanout that I wasn't aware of. He inspected both of them by using his camera, hydro jetted, and used the camera again to inspect. He found some roots that the hydro jetting wasn't getting rid of and he called Gary to bring his tools to cut the stubborn roots. The price is fantastic and now I have a piece of mind that there wouldn't be any backup. Manny was professional and went above and beyond to ensure the work is clean. read more

I usually don't do reviews unless something really bad or really good happens. I found these guys through a Facebook add and I figured it couldn't be that bad to try them out for the price they were advertising ($400) for hydro jetting and sending a camera Thru the lines. Checking the lines with a camera usually cost about 150-200 depending on who you call, at least that's what I paid last time I called someone to inspect the lines. I messaged them on Facebook and they told me that it was free to come out and inspect the job. They, two gentlemen, showed up and and quickly got to work after verifying the price for the job. They kept working straight for over 4-5 hours trying everything to get my lines cleared up from the tree roots and dirt filling up the lines. They were very patient, professional and kept me uprises of everything happening. I would definitely recommend you give them a call and schedule a consultation. They are very reasonably priced and super professional. They cleaned up after they were done so my neighbors won't complain about the dirt on the curb. This has been my experience with them. read more

A great plumber. I worked with Gary he was great! I was provided with a fair quote and they were able to perform the service the same day. They showed up early and finished earlier than quoted and diagnosed another issue we were having. They picked up the necessary part and fixed that also. I will definitely be using them in the future. Thank you Gary! read more

His prices are excellent for the work that he does, his timing is exceptional, and his craftsmanship is beyond what I have experienced with others.
