Arrived timely, diagnosed my problem, got the part that day and had me fixed in less than an hour. Friendly all around as well. I recommend. Thank you. read more

I rarely give negative reviews, and always give people and businesses the benefit of the doubt and second and third chances. However after the 4th scheduled appointment, and a 4th no show, with 3 of the no-shows not even calling or communicating in anyway to let us know they weren't going to make it, I can't recommendation this business to anyone looking for a reliable company. Surprising and disrespectful of our time to not even call or text us to let us know they won't show up within the 2 hour arrival window. 4 cancellations means having us on the hook for 8 hours of time. No follow up call, apology, offer for re-scheduling, or anything to make things right. In addition, the garbage disposal that is having issues was installed and the job was completed by them a few years back. read more

Avant Rooter - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I previously wrote a negative review about Avant Rooter. I now wish to revise my review. I was angry that I was given a written estimate for one price and was given another price when the plumber arrived at my home. After I expressed my displeasure with what had transpired, I received a call from the Office Manager, Gene. Gene asked me what I wanted to have done. I told him I wanted him to honor the written estimate. He said he would. A plumber by the name of Ivar arrived at my home today. He was courteous, efficient, and made clear that the original price would be honored. He finished the job in about 15 minutes and willingly accepted my check for the agreed upon price. read more

I didn't know plumbing was such a craft until Avant Rooter entered my life. They approach plumbing with the same savvy, skill, and grit an NFL linebacker approaches football. I live in an old house (100 years old) back in a time where houses didn't have their plumbing. This is a big issue, because you can't fix your problems when the pipes run other people's properties. These guys figured it all out. They got some magic powered wand to find out where the pipes when underground (I had no idea), were able to organize the neighbors and explain what had to happen. And most importantly, they fixed a 50 year problem (replacing shared pipes that run under numerous people's properties isnt a reality) at a great price, and in a 3 day turn around. Plumbing ain't easy and it ain't pretty, but these guys are the best in town. read more

Avant Rooter - My man. - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I rarely give reviews but when I do it's either due to good or very poor service. In this case, it's because of the good service I got from Kevin R. He did a wonderful job fixing my leaky pipe. Kevin was very nice, friendly and patient with answering all of my questions. He handled my complaining neighbors with grace and kindness. He is definitely a great asset to this company and deserves a raise. Kevin, it was nice meeting you. Thank you for all your hard work and for always having a great attitude. read more

I have had one of the worst vendor experiences of my entire life with Avant Rooter, and do not recommend their services for any plumbing project. First we had a lot of scheduling issues for booking an initial consult to come to our house to replace our water heater. After booking them to install the tankless water heater, The technician who came to give us our initial estimate ghosted us and we then I had to call the company to backtrack and find out what was going on as we had already paid our deposit and had not heard from them for several weeks. The initial technician had medical issues so we understood and tried again. BIG MISTAKE. When the new supervisor came on site, he was an hour late and the agreed-upon price was not honored. He was rude, disrespectful and i asked them to leave our home immediately after meeting them. I then asked for a reimbursement of our initial deposit since the services were never rendered, and it took them several weeks to even cut the check. And i offered to go pick it up but they ended up delivering it in person to our home. I checked our bank account today and it said that the check bounced as there was insufficient funds from the vendor to pay us the check that they issued. I have no idea what's going on as they have not contacted me back after several attempts, so I am proceeding with filing a FRAUD CLAIM with my bank with Avant Rooter. They then reached out and sent us money through Chase Zelle payment to reimburse us our deposit. This vendor is unreliable, not trustworthy and just don't want anyone else to be scammed who is working on improvements to their home. read more

Their technician came to my house and gave an estimate. Two weeks later my wife called them to confirm about installing the water filtration system service, the technician changed the quote from $150 to $800-1,000. He also missed the first schedule appointment with us. Such a terrible business. read more

This is the best company for plumbing service. I called them up because I had a problem with my drain line. They responded quickly. My technician Walter Alas was AWESOME! He ran the snake like 100ft down the sewer line and got rid of my clogged issue. I later had another issue with the plumbing in the sink. We called Avant Rooter, then Walter came back to the rescue. I liked that he was friendly, professional, fast, and knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend him to everyone. Thank you Walter!!! read more

It's the 15th week. Here's a picture of the toilet Avant installed but doesn't work. They did get one shower working. Now just 2 toilets and 1 shower to go. I would not hire this plumber again. *They are very disorganized. *Many workers would show up some days with a single set of tools. *They did not put plastic over the furniture or even close doors between rooms, so the entire house is covered with drywall dust. *They left multiple old pipes under the house. *The workers seem unhappy with each other and the company. I was told the job would be finished in a few days, it's now 14+ weeks after I gave them a deposit and several additional payments. read more

Avant Rooter - The fixture Avant installed only rattles. no hot water comes out of it. - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had Avant Rooter come out to our house to Hydro Jet the main and secondary lines. They did a great job from scheduling with us and the actual work. The technician that came to our house was Evan. He was friendly, explained everything he was doing, and answered all our questions. He went out of his way to show me the camera feed on their screen of our pipes and all the work he did. Would recommend them to anyone who needs to get Hydro Jetting done. read more

Marc came out today to clear our drain line. The price was fair and as advertised. He was on time, courteous, and masked for covid safety. He recommended a drain line pressure washing if the problem persists. I would recommend them to anyone asking for a good plumber. I would also call them again if the need arises. read more

I called Avant Rooter at the end of the day after finding a leak in our water tank and the hot water not working. They scheduled an appointment first thing the next morning after our home warranty said they couldn't get to us for another week. Ivar showed up promptly the next morning and was extremely professional and helpful on how we can prevent leaks and make our water heater last. Would highly recommend this company and specifically Ivar. Thank you again! read more

Ivar knows what he's doing, and is honest about the work. Only downside is that they are so busy, that sometimes it's hard to get a hold of them. Ivar and Pedro showed up on time, assessed our multiple situations, and gave us a recommendation. He gave us the option of providing our own valves and shower trim, as he thought we might be able to get it for less than what it would cost through them. He wanted us to send him a link to what we were thinking of ordering, to make sure that it would fit the situation. The first proposal that we sent was not approved, and Ivar explained why. The second proposal was a go. We got a contract and a date. They showed up on time, and worked diligently through the day, trying to minimize the time that the water to our condo"stack" was shut off. Main project was replacing two-handled shower and tub/shower valves with single handle pressure-balancing valves. This eliminated the hot and cold shots that we were experiencing in our shower, and assured that our grandkids would not be scalded by the 149 degree water coming from the central water heater. It works, and we are very pleased. They also snaked the shower drain, and inspected a couple of other areas of concern. I thought that what they charged was reasonable for the work that they did and the professionalism. read more

Avant was the first to reply with not just a quote but a window within 24 hours that a tech could be on-site to see what issue our reverse osmosis system was having. The technician was so professional, friendly and sweet with our dog. He not only fixed our RO tank issue but he explained very plainly what the problem was and how we can avoid it in the future. Solid work, fair price. We'll def be calling them again if we have any plumbing issues. read more

I've used Avant twice now during the covid pandemic and in my opinion they are the best plumbers in LA! They are prompt, efficient, and take the time to hear your issues and explain how they are going to fix them. All of their technicians are extremely nice and personable, and their office staff is beyond helpful! The best part: they save your contact info and create a profile for you so that you don't have to give your address and email every time you call. I will recommend them to anyone who asks for a good plumber!! read more

Avant Rooter was able to send James on a Sunday to inspect the replacement of the gate valve for my business. Their service was prompt and professional. They emailed me the estimate and I haven't decided yet on having the service. I have confidence they would be able to take care of the most difficult job. I would call James for any future plumbing needs for my business and home. read more

Avant Rooter - The gate valve that needs replacing - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had a very slow-draining kitchen sink, which is something that tends to happen every couple years or so. I made a mistake of contacting this company instead of my usual plumber. After all, Avant Rooter has generally great reviews and the quote was $69 with prompt communication. I should have known that the too-low $69 quote was a warning sign. They did generally arrive on time and the company was prompt in communication. People whom I interacted with were all polite and wore masks. This is where positives end, however. After the Avant Rooter plumber arrived, he tried to snake the pipe and claimed to have been unsuccessful somehow. He told me he was able to snake it all the way, yet the water was still not draining normally. Even though the same issue has been solved by others before, by simply snaking. He told me we needed a $350 hydro-jetting of the entire house and that is guaranteed to fix the problem. It would blow all the stuff out, into the sewer, he told me. The next day, they arrived with the equipment of some sort and after running it in a couple of areas (and making the front lawn smell like sewage plus spilling water into some of the under-sink cabinets), they informed me that (despite their prior assurances it would for sure fix the issue) it didn't help and they see some obstruction in the pipe, and it now requires the use of a 8,000-psi "root rat" device, which will cost me $1,200. And if that fails, I might need a spot repair for $3.5K or some such. In the meantime, the kitchen sink that was at least draining slowly before their involvement, stopped draining altogether, and the water level in it was slowly rising. I got so stressed I couldn't eat for couple of days. I couldn't concentrate on work or anything. The uncertainty and fear that we have serious plumbing problems of unknown nature was depressing. I talked to my uncle, who is a plumber, and he suggested that something fishy has been going on. Likewise, I was getting suspicious about the "hydro jetting" that they ostensibly performed since, according to a cursory Google search, it is supposed to start all the way in and progress ever closer to the cleanout. Which they obviously couldn't have done since there was, according to them, an obstruction somewhere halfway, and they couldn't reach any further. Subsequently, the kitchen sink overflowed into the kitchen, at which point we've had enough. Another plumber thankfully came quickly and snaked the pipe within 30 mins for 1/10th of the cost of what Avant wanted for the "root rat". Apparently there is nothing wrong with the pipe in question. Everything is fine now; the water drains and the other plumber told us it was just typical kitchen grease on the walls of the pipe. It is unclear what kind of "hydro jetting" Avant performed since there still was the buildup on the walls, which another plumber had to remove with his snake. So you be the judge. I see two possibilities, neither of them good: 1. Incompetence 2. Avant tried to rip me off When I told Avant that my problem was fixed in 30 mins, and they shouldn't come with their expensive "root rat", they informed me that they are "proud of our quality of work" and "our quality of work is guaranteed". To add insult to injury, I just got a call from them where they asked me to pay them $350 for hydro-jetting. Mind you, they didn't complete the hydro-jetting of the whole house. And whatever part of the house they did do, despite what they told me, didn't fix the problem. Did they just do it partially and incorrectly? In any case, they think I should pay them, apparently, for making my problem worse, wasting my time and causing me stress and anxiety. I assume this is how they "guarantee the quality of their work". By trying to make you pay for not fixing the problem and instead making it worse. I am beyond upset with Avant and suggest you go elsewhere. Nobody deserves this kind of aggravation and stress. read more

Another positive review. Looks like these guys went out of business. Another contractor was checking our house foundation and while under house showed us all the pipes Avant Rooter replaced. Turns out they delivered flawlessly. We'll miss these guys for sure. We called upon them countless times. read more

The time frame i was given was between 2pm and 4pm. Chris showed up at around 115ish and had the job completed by 2pm. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Estimate was a little higher than I thought but Im glad I went with it. Quick, clean and he did have all his covid19 ducks in a row. Definitely will use again if i ever encounter another plumbing issue. Props to Chris L. who was on his job. 5 stars to him as well. read more

I had an emergency plumbing request and they were very helpful and made it happened for me. Very skilled and knowledgeable staff, I would def. recommend them for everyone who is in need of plumbers!! Thank you so much! read more

Plumbing Technicians were Ivar and Pedro. We needed to relocate our washer and dryer to the garage. We had several plumbers come out and provide quotes for us. Avant pricing was in the middle and our decision was easy after speaking with Jesse. His great attitude seal the deal along with his honesty & being up-front about about the pros and cons. The project took about 1.5 days. Ivar and Pedro were quiet, quick and extremely clean with the work area. I would've never known any work was being done if I was not working from home. My washer and dryer works great and am super happy with their work. If there are any future plumbing needs, they will be my go-to! Great job, guys! Appreciate the fantastic service. read more

I had a non emergency leak, but one that needed to be fixed and I reached out via yelp sending out my request to multiple vendors. Avant responded quickly and came out this past Monday to give me a formal bid. The evaluation was very thorough and Alex did look for ways to minimize the cost to me. He checked the pressure on multiple hose bibs and he came to the conclusion that I had where the leak was. He said he could get started immediately, but I had to send him off to have other bidders come as well Avant did get the job, and Matthew and Alex completed the work in 2.5 days for completing not only the water leak, but I had asked for additional work to be done and we added that scope - discounted because they were already on site. While doing their work, they focused on minimizing our water service downtime. Over 2.5 days, the water was probably down for a few hours in between any real usage period (between lunch and dinner). They gave us ample warning to get some water ready just in case. Matthew and Alex came to my house clean, left dirty and they spent little time dilly-dallying. There were a few surprises along the way, but nothing they couldn't handle or fix. read more

I was very pleased with the skill and professionalism of Alfredo and his team. They installed a tankless water heater at my house and walked me through every step of the way. There were some challenges to my unique job, but they found solutions and were transparent, honest, and dependable with me every step of the way. Their price with competitive and Alfredo even guaranteed the work should there ever be any problems. Darkness cut their job short on the install day, but they showed up on Labor Day to at 8a to finish the job. These are stand-up guys that I'd recommend. read more

We had an issue with a slow draining tub, and a faucet that had no water pressure. So I got a quote, and went with Avant. So glad I did! Their tech Chad came out and did a great job. Very personable, professional and thorough. Highly recommended. read more

I truly recommend! It's so hard to find a reliable plumber service. Very quick reply, reasonable quote, great service, with safe equipment. I would definitely contact them again. read more

I put in a quote request through yelp and Avant Rooter responded quickly. They were able to get a tech out very quick same day. Matthew showed up in the time I was provided for the block and assessed the situation quickly . He provided us a very reasonable quote to get it snaked and have the pipe repaired properly. Under $300 for plumbing is a good deal for me when it's multiple things being taken care of. Matthew is super polite and listened. His work is neat and he made sure we were completely satisfied with everything. I'd definitely use them again and I'd request Matthew again! two thumbs up from us! read more

Avant Rooter - Neat work... only applies to the pipes..not my janky cabinet!! - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

We had a very expensive valve that needed to be replaced behind our fridge. Avant Rooters sent over their Kyle to provide a quote and details of what he would have to do to replace the valve. He was able to get us a discount but we didn't realize how steep of a discount we were getting until we had shopped around and got quotes from other plumbers. Kyle was very knowledgeable, punctual, and friendly. He was very patient with us with all the questions we asked and explained all the steps he would be taking to replace the valve. He wore a mask and shoe covers while performing the replacement. He also cleaned the area up after the job was done. We would definitely call Kyle/Avant Rooter again for any plumbing jobs in the future. read more

I'm writing this review because I'm frankly blown away by this company. Here it is on a random Sunday afternoon, Father's Day no less, when I had read some article online about high water pressure possibly being the reason why I'm having some plumbing issues. I had a water meter and checked it and it read that it is pretty high. Everything online said that I'll need a new pressure regulator. I contacted this company on yelp and literally within 10 minutes they had a wonderful plumber named Patrick show up at our house and a brand new truck. Sunday afternoon. Amazing. To make it even better, Patrick came, was very professional and honest, checked our pressure and spent about 20 minutes tinkering with our pressure regulator, and eventually said that he could either charge me for a brand new pressure regulator at around $450, or you can be honest and tell me that I don't need a new one and that the existing one is just fine and it'll all be done. I cannot believe that a plumber is this honest that he's willing to give up a major job, it would take him very little time to perform, because he wants to be honest and good. Just for that, I wanted to bring them some business, but obviously I don't have a need right now, so I wanted to write this review because I want other people to recognize how honest they are. A company that is willing to tell you that you don't need to have anything done at a time when you call them offering them work is a good, HONEST company. I urge anyone to consider this company and ask for Patrick. Amazing plumber and great individual!!! read more

Juan and Raul were very knowledgeable and explained exactly what the descaling process was for my tankless water heater. They also worked on our gas leak involving our high-end stove. Juan explained exactly where the leak was and how he was going to fix the issue.

I would recommend both Juan and Raul at Avant to anyone who needs a licensed and professional plumber! read more

Nothing is worse than finding out you have a leaky sink in the kitchen during the holidays. Big props to Avant Rooter for the quick turn around on the inspection. The technician (Walter) arrived right on time as scheduled. Walter was extremely professional, helpful in explaining the problem and provided a reasonable quote for the time needed to properly fix the leak in the sink. I highly recommend Avant Rooter and Walter for your plumbing needs. read more

I didn't actually employ Avant Rooter or any plumber. But after reading my review, you'll understand why I gave them 5 stars. Avant Rooter came out with a two-person crew for a free estimate. They were easy to schedule unlike other businesses that tell you to call back another day. Or those that cancel the day of or before. And it was a free estimate. Think about that for a second. Other businesses will charge you a visit fee that goes toward their estimate. The problem with that is they know you're not going to let them walk away with $100 for an estimate. And so, they can quote a higher price knowing that you already have sunk $100 into the effort. So back to Avant Rooter. Easy to schedule, free estimate, two-man crew. They spent nearly an hour trying to diagnose my buzzing pipes when the sprinklers came on. They checked the pressure in the line. Ran each sprinkler line. Finally diagnosed as likely one sprinkler valve that needed to be replaced or a leaking pvc pipe from that sprinkler valve. They were right because I've turned off that sprinkler line and the buzzing problem has gone away. They recommended going to an irrigation specialist or turning it into a DIY project to replace the sprinkler actuator valve. They said that it was a relatively easy job, and that it would be much cheaper than getting a plumber to do it. How can you beat that honesty? If I ever have a plumbing issue, I will not waste my time. I will go straight to Avant Rooter. read more

Look no further for all your drain and plumbing needs! We have had an ongoing problem with a sink and drain in the master bathroom. Our landlord asked us to use his plumber, but the problem kept coming back, and frankly, his plumber was ALWAYS late and hard to get ahold of. Jeffery and his team at Avant came highly recommended by a friend. He arrived on time and gave us a few options on how to solve our problems. He communicated clearly and offered solutions to guarantee the problem would not come back. Happy to say we have not had to call Jeffery again, the problem is fixed. It is great to know we have a responsive, timely respectful plumber to call if we ever need it again. Thanks, Avant Rooter!! read more

Evan was a big help. He was friendly, straight forward, and also transparent. He gave me an estimate and then went to look for the parts just to let me know if the estimate would change based on what he found. He also explained what my options were in case we decided not to use him or wanted to use him for a portion of the job. After he finished the job (fairly fast) he also gave me a tip on what to do just in case something like that happens again, and we need to turn off our water to the home. read more

Jeff and his team came out to help with a tricky situation under our kitchen sink. They were very nice, professional, offered many possible approaches to handling the situation and provided a free camera inspection of the line in the process. I was impressed by their camera equipment-- super high tech! Highly recommended, would get help from them again in a heartbeat. read more

Wow I have found my go-to plumber ! We always have a need for a plumber and it's important to hire someone you trust. I have gotten multiple bids on a project I am working on, and Evan has been by far the most honest and straight forward ! I felt so refreshed after speaking with him because everyone else tried to sell me on things that I simply don't need read more

I called Avant Rooter to help with a recurring kitchen sink issue, where the water from the garbage disposal side would flood into the other side from time to time. I told them that I had to work from home at a specific hour, and to please send someone prior to this time. Evan showed up at my apartment less than an hour later. He listened to my description of the problem, took one look and immediately diagnosed the issue. He pointed out a leak he had noticed outside of the building prior to coming to my apartment, and had clearly taken the time to get a full picture of what was going on. Upon looking at the pipes, he discovered some extremely questionable piping under the sink, and took the time to explain/show to me the issues. He was upfront about the different options of services he could provide, as well as the various prices for each service. He patiently waited as I called my landlord to obtain approval before beginning his work. Due to the poor state of the plumbing, the job ended up taking much longer than initially anticipated, but he stayed until the job was completed and tested it several times to make sure that my issue was resolved. I greatly appreciated his professionalism, obvious knowledge and pride in his work, and patience to explain to me what was going on in my apartment. As a woman, I get irritated when people assume I don't want to know/won't understand something (like when I go to the mechanic and people treat me like they are shocked that I can drive a stick shift), and I super appreciated Evans demeanor in treating me as an equal rather than a 'damsal in distress'. The only minor "complaint" that I had was that the initial quote was $69 over the phone but that it would cost more "if there wasn't easy access to the pipes". I asked what this meant, and the answer I received made it sound like that the pipes needed to be easy to get to, rather than the actual answer which is that if any pipe needs to be temporarily removed - this is automatically more expensive. Evan was upfront and told me about this as soon as he looked at the pipes, and made sure I approved anything before he worked. Therefore, I was not made to pay a "surprise bill" or anything like that, however it would have been nice to get a more realistic expectation prior to his arrival. read more

We had a cracked PVC pipe underground in our front yard. Avant was quick to respond via Yelp and connected me with Pedro, one of their plumbers. The leak wasn't catastrophic, but Pedro still agreed to come out on weekend evening to asses the issue. Pedro arrived the next morning (a bit later than we agreed to, but we had no urgent plans) to fix the pipe. He got the work done in quick time and also alerted us to some problem spots that could be an issue down the line. I got some quotes ahead of the work and found Avant's pricing to be fair and within range of the others. All in, I'd definitely hire them again. But obviously hope to not need their services any time soon. read more

I approached an Avant van parked today on Gramercy and Wilshire to inquire about service today 12/3 at 2pm. The driver saw me approaching as he just entered the van. I was less than a foot away from his door ready for his window to be rolled down or door opened. But what happened shocked me. The driver looked at me and simply drove away fast almost hitting me. Avant- should really look what people they hire. Unprofessional. And most of all DANGEROUS behavior. read more
