Jorge came via a referral from our appliance repair guy. We had an ice maker water valve that needed replacing. Jorge did the job nicely, in spite of a few obstacles. I would recommend him if you need a plumber Mike M. - Monrovia Ca read more

I help my dad manage an apartment building and the commercial water heater in the building was making a whistling noise for several weeks. I had contacted a few companies to have them assess the issue but unfortunately, many didn't service the specific water heater we have. Finally, I contacted this company last week and spoke to Jorge. He stated that he would come by the same week to check it out. He was very responsive and communicative which is very important being that I work throughout the week and don't have time to wait around. He came by last Thursday and saw that the water heater was fine BUT the vent hasn't been cleaned out since the installation of the water heater back in 2016. There was 6 years worth of blockage causing it to make a loud noise since there was hardly any space for the air the be released. Jorge cleaned it out and checked other areas that might have been causing the noise. He was here for almost an hour making sure everything was functioning properly. As of then, the noise is gone and the water heater is doing what it needs. Jorge made the whole process easy and is reasonable in pricing. I will use his services for any issues that arise in the future relating to our water heater and more. read more

I recommend Jorge (owner) & Drain It Rooter. He's prompt, professional, helpful, honest. His pricing seems fair. I promote small businesses when I can. This is my 2nd time calling him to unclog drains. I read more

As a single-female homeowner, finding someone to fix even the smallest project requires extensive research on-line or through neighbors and friends. This month my laundry water started backing up into my tub. I pondered it for a couple of days. Yeh, I used Drain-o thinking it was clogged pipes, but that wasn't it. I found Drain-It Rooter on Yelp and read that they had excellent reviews. Another plus for me was that their office is locate within a few miles from my house! (BTW, many thanks to all the reviewers here.) Drain-It Rooter was everything everyone said they would be and more. The plumbers worked very efficiently, quietly and promptly for 3 days. Turned out my 100+ year old sewer had collapsed - they showed me the pipes :( The price to fix it was fair and includes a warranty. The fact that Drain-It Rooter has a legit place of business, all the equipment and the workers are overseen by the experienced owner, was very comforting. I've had some hard knock experiences with home repairs. Most important to me (as a person who works from home) was the drama-free process of taking care of a major repair. Usually workers have me on pins and needles the whole time. Oh, and a week after, the owner Jorge came back personally to check on noises that I thought I was hearing. Any new sounds (modern materials vs 100 year old ones) make me pause. He re-confirmed to my satisfaction that everything was perfect. I highly recommend Drain-It Rooter to anyone who is looking for a professional, headache free and fairly priced plumbing experience with considerate workers. read more

Drain it Rooter - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I have had work done by them 3 times, and my house is almost 70 years old. Each time, they're professional and very honest. Yesterday I had my water heater go out, I called them as soon as this happened and they were out the same day. First thing this morning, I had them here, and within an hour, I had a brand new water heater. I will continue to support their business. read more

My husband and I noticed that we no longer had hot water. At first we thought that the gas had gone out but it wasn't the case. We went outside and noticed that out water heater had burst and water was spilling everywhere. My husband remembered that Jorge from Drain It Rooter was excellent when he worked on the plumbing in our house about a year ago. We called Jorge and he showed up promptly but gave me the bad news that the heater had to be replaced as it had blown and it was already 15 years old. Jorge showed up early next day with a brand new 40 gallon water heater. After removing the old heater, he advised that some of the lines had to be realigned as they were not to code. Ugh. However, these things have to get done. The whole job took about 4 hours and he was finished by 1PM. The price was reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done and in the time it was done. Jorge was very professional overall and I can't say better things about him as well as Drain It Rooter. 10 star service. read more

We had such a great experience with "Drain it Rooter" from the beginning their response time was on point. I called last night to have a plumber come out to replace our washer (hot & cold) valves & outside valve for water hose. As promised, Jose arrived this morning. He was very careful to not scratch the top of our newly delivered washer/dryer. Also, cleaned up and very polite. Best customer service! He was quick and efficient...in and out. This will be our local go to plumbing service going forward. Thanks Jose for a great job!! read more

Best experience when it comes to drain rooters. Called because I got a clogged sink drain. Jorge quickly provided over the phone estimate. 2 hrs later the technician Jose showed up and took care of business. Excellent service all around. Definitely will call them back again. Highly recommend this company. read more

My husband found them and they have not disappointed. We've used them for several properties, several issues and they've delivered. They are honest about the work and it's no nonsense pricing. We have always felt they've been reasonable with pricing. It's hard to find honest plumbers. They take precautions, wear a mask and maintain distance. Very professional. On time. We will continue to use them! read more

We were experiencing flooding in our garage and Jorge, the owner, was able to come out same day (Sunday no less) to give us a diagnosis. He was super professional and took the time to not only explain what was going on with our pipes but also showed us exactly where the problem was with all his high-tech gadgets. He gave us multiple options for fixes (ranging in price and intensity) and was able provide a temporary solution on the spot. I highly recommend Jorge and his family run business! read more

I reached out to about 5 plumbers due to a last-minute condition that was put on our house for a double strapped water heater. Jorge was very fast to respond (a majority did not even bother following up) and let me know he would be able to swing by the next day to help with the strap. He came by as promised and helped me met the condition in time for the deadline, literally would not be a homeowner if Jorge did not swing by to get that double strapped. After the house closed I needed some work done and immediately gave Jorge a call to help with some issues that had come up during inspection. Again, he was responsive, professional, communicative, and provided options and insights for the issues at hand. Jorge's crew arrived a little late, but it was communicated beforehand that a previous job was taking a bit longer than expected and given a new eta. Once on site, they got straight to business and finished up all the work nicely. Jorge then came back to inspect the work, gave me a walkthrough of everything that was done, what was still needed and in order of importance. He also pointed out a few items the inspector missed on his initial inspection with video/photo from the areas not easily accessible. If you are looking for a solid communicator and honest plumber he is your guy! Great experience with this plumber and has earned a spot in my goto list! read more

I had an broken pipe and emergency leak at close to 10 PM at a rental I wasn't going to be able to get to. I reached out to several plumbers and Jorge was the first ones to respond. I was grateful for him as he assessed the situation and explained what my options and costs were over the phone. He explained that he would try the lower cost option first, but if it didn't work he would have to doing a pricier repair. I was fully prepared to have to pay the higher cost, but thankfully, the first option worked! In spite of it being an emergency situation where I had few options, Jorge was reasonable and honest. My tenant, who dealt with him, said he was very pleasant and helpful. read more

Would highly recommend this Plummer. Hands down the best. Jorge communicates efficiently and professionally. He is on time and does things the right way. His work is very precise. read more

My simple issue became a bit complicated with the cold water being warm and then kinda cold and then cold all in a time span of 30 minutes. They were patient, thorough, and persistent in their work. I appreciate the professionalism, dedication, and high level of knowledge to root out the problem (couldn't help myself). In the end it was pretty much solved and next month I will have them come out to do more work needed and again next year for major preventive work. I have a lot going on right now with a new house, so I have to conserve money. The prices were reasonable and plumbing is always expensive. What I truly appreciated was that they understood my financial constraints and did everything possible to help me save money without diminishing their service and work ethic. It's a family owned business and local to Boyle Heights. However, everyone living anywhere in Los Angeles and surrounding areas should contact them for any plumbing needs. read more

Exceptional service and super fast! I really appreciated George's promptness with booking me an appointment and getting a technician out at my most convenient time. The technician, Jose was also super amazing at his job - he assessed the issue I had with my backed up drains and cleared out 3 of my sinks in less than 30 minutes. Will 10/10 call again if I have any other plumbing issues in my life!! read more

Had a problem with the water heater. It just needed a part fixed and I knew how to fix it, I just didn't want to wait 3-5 days until the part ships from amazon (Home Depot didn't carry it). Called at least 5 plumbers and all tried to tell me I needed a new control valve or a new water heater unit. I knew my water heater is old, but I already knew what was wrong with it As soon as I spoke with Jorge, I had a good feeling about him. I texted him a picture and said he knows how to to fix it. He arrived after a few hours, on time. He not only fixed my water heater for a great price, he even unclogged my toilet and refused to charge me for it! Jorge is an honest businessman and I will be recommending him to friends and family. He definitely earned a lifetime customer. read more

I really can't say enough about Drain it Rooter. Accidentally fractured a pipe when digging a hole. Sent a tech and problem solved, as always. Thanks again for saving the day and my water bill!! read more

As I was doing some late laundry on Sunday afternoon I realized that water was backing up into my kitchen sink. At first I ignored it but then I realized that even my bathtub was filling up! This had happened about 6 months back and all it took was a little bleach and boiling water to take care of the issue; however today it was not the case. By this time it was 6 PM and decided to look on Yelp for help. I noticed that Drain It Rooter had excellent reviews and were very close to my house. The owner, George, answered my call, asked me to text him my address, and he was at my home within one hour. He advised that the problem was in the main line leading to the street and he used a snake to try and remove the clog. After several minutes the snake was removed with about two 2-liter bottle sized root clogs! He advised that the issue was great and suggested to use pressured water to remove the clog. After a good 20 minutes of trying, it was evident that the clog was way more serious than expected. He used the camera and realized that the clog was in the middle of my yard about 30 feet from the current access point. The clog was so large that the camera would show only darkness. George then suggested that the ground needed to be dug up to remove that section of pipe. Keep in mind that by this time, it was already 9PM. At this point I couldn't use my plumbing at all and asked when he would be available to get the problem resolved. He advised that he would be back at my house at 9AM the next morning. Sure enough, George and his helper were at my house the next morning on time! Since I live on a hillside, the hole they had to dig was over 5ft deep but they were able to dig and remove the troubled section by around 1PM. The pipe was beyond clogged. He replaced the pipe and added a new access point. Afterwards, he re-ran the snake throughout the whole system and showed me that the entire system was clog-free! The whole job was finished by 4PM and the price was reasonable for the amount of work that had to be done. Trust me, once you make several enquiries online of how a job like this costs elsewhere, this was reasonable. In addition the work ethic was exemplary and George was extremely professional. I will definitely be calling Drain It Rooter in the future if I run into another plumbing issue and will be recommending George to anyone I know that needs plumbing services. Beyond 5 Star Service! read more

We just moved in and with our first use of the shower we had a major emergency. We found Drain it Rooter here on Yelp. Glad we did! Ray came to rescue with prompt, easy communication, professional and job done fast. We are happy customers. read more

Quick response, very reasonable prices, and the work is top notch. They have installed water heaters, cleared main drain clogs, created new cleanouts, major re-piping of leaking main line from street to house (which they did in the pouring rain), etc. Drain It Rooter really is my go to for all plumbing needs. read more

Jorge and his team are great. He responded to my call quickly and came out to appraise the job the same day. And they're reasonably priced and licensed and insured. AND they accept credit cards! Because who can afford to write checks anymore? read more

I had a major clog through the main pipes leading through to the city sewer. The first plumber I called wanted to dig up my sidewalk since he couldn't break through with his jetter. He quoted me 3000 for the work. I called these guys and Jorge came out the next day quoted me less but that's not even the best part. He managed to get his jetter to go through and clear the pipes. If it wasn't for Jorge and his partner I would have paid a lot more for unnecessary work. I saved so much money and worry. Thank you so much drain it router!!!! read more

As stated before I knew I would use them again and I did. This time it was a busted water main line bubbling up from the depths of the earth in my front yard and watering all the neighbor's yards. Speed dialed Drain It Rooter yet again and they were out in a jiffy, digging up my front yard, in the pouring freezing rain, to fix my pipe and faucet. The price was reasonable and the job was done much faster than I had expected. Took me almost a year to write this update and I have called Jorge several times since for other plumbing issues. He is quick to respond and I know I can count on him. read more

Very responsive for both maintenance and emergencies. Have used them for maintenance on my property as well as for remodeling and work and a repipe. read more

Being a building manager I've had to deal with a lot of different contractors. I'll start by saying I'm picky so getting a good review from me isn't easy. I messaged Jorge for a blocked bathtub drain. They showed up the same day. Fixed the problem, which was easier than expected, and as a result charged me slightly less than originally quoted because they didn't have to run the rooter. I love honesty and being thoughtful in what you do. Have definitely put these guys in my permanent bldg. manager rolodex. read more

I was very please with the quick response. I requested a quote after hours and I was able to call Jorge directly and set an appointment for the following morning. They arrived on time and made their recommendations. They replaced our water heater and were very professional. During the process they kept us informed when they needed to make a run for more materials when they ran into a new problem. At the end they showed us in detail the work they did and things they replaced and they guarantee their job. In the future we will be doing business with them. I love supporting local businesses and especially supporting veteran owned businesses! Thank you Jorge!!! read more

We were recommended Drain It Rooter by a friend when we realized our kitchen sink was leaking and Jorge and his team were able to come within the same day to help fix it. The team was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend! read more

A long overdue review. Jorge is my go to plumber. He is honest, always on time, takes the time to explain the issue and the work needed. He stands by his work and make sure it is done right. Highly recommended. Thank you Jorge for properly taking care of all the plumbing issues at my house. read more

Nothing worse than waking up to no hot water! I called about ten plumbers and these guys were the only ones who got back to me right away and could get someone out within a few hrs. Super professional and fixed the problem in less than an hr. So thankful! read more

We recently came home to no hot water. We're so happy we found Drain it Rooter to come out and help us fix the problem. Many companies I called were not available till the next day or kept suggesting I would need to change the entire unit. Drain it Rooter came out within the next hour and was able to replace the part in 20 mins. I highly recommend calling them for any of your plumbing and water heater problems. They are very professional, understanding, and provided great service. Thank you again, Drain it Rooter! read more

Needed plumber for severely clogged drain and Drain It Rooter was a God send. They had a crew at my house within the hour to inspect the situation and provided a very reasonable quote. They began working immediately and worked tirelessly for 3-hours to resolve the drainage and sewer line issues. The crew was extremely courteous, professional and very responsive to all of my questions and concerns. I truly appreciate the responsive and professional service provided and would recommend their services to anyone in need of a dependable plumber. read more

George did an amazing job for my drain problem. He came in and evaluated the issue thoroughly and even double checked other potential problem areas.

After looking and talking to 5 different plumbers I finally spoke with Jorge. I told him my problem over the phone and he asked me to text him my address. Said he'd be here a little after 1pm. I texted him my address and he showed up earlier than expected. Looked at the problem and told me it would be about an hour and one half. He kept it to the estimate he'd given and was done very quickly. Hauled the old toilet out and was very clean, courteous and friendly. I would highly recommend him for your plumbing problems. I know I will call on him again. Thank you, Jorge. read more

This is my second time contacting Drain it Rooter, which speaks to how pleased I was about the service provided the first time I contacted Jorge, the owner. He is prompt, polite, and clean. He tries his best to complete the job without leaving "tracks" behind. This is one of the main reasons why I like contacting him! I understand that plumbing work can be messy at times and that is fine but sometimes plumbers go overboard with the mess left behind. Jorge will not do that! You can tell he makes an effort to clean after his work, and he does this simply because he attempts to provide the best customer service possible. Jorge also provides fair prices. He will not try to rip you off, unlike many other plumbers (I have compared prices). So, if you are looking for a fair price, organized, clean, and prompt plumbing service, please call Drain it Rooter! read more

Great experience! I had a clogged toilet which was solved right away! Jorge also took a camera and showed me exactly what was causing some of my problem. Fair prices too, strongly recommend! read more

I arrived home around 6pm and noticed that the toilets in the house were not flushing and backed up. I tried a few plumbers and they all gave me the same response, "We'll be out there tomorrow afternoon at the soonest". I found Drain It Rooter and gave them a call. Jorge answered and told me he'd be at my location within 30 min!! He arrived and check out all the typical issues and noticed it was a bit more worked involved. Gave me a great quote and needless to say, he had it resolved in no time. I can't recommend George and his worker anymore than that. Amazing and FAST service. Will definitely be my go-to in the future if the need arises. read more

Thank you George!!! Yesterday, while I was at Disneyland, I had a class act team at my home clearing my water line, going back and forth to purchase parts and when we got home everything not only looked beautiful but the water line was cleared and working nicely. Even my neighbor bragged about how hard this team worked. Thanks Drain it Rooter read more

Had a plumbing emergency on a Sunday night at 6:30pm and called a number of services before getting to Drain It Rooter. Each of the other services, even if advertising 24/7 service, all said they could not get out to my home tonight but could do "first thing tomorrow morning." Drain It Rooter took the call, promised a response on availability in 5 minutes, confirmed, and was out within an hour to take care of the drain. As an added bonus, my washer and kitchen sink plumbing seem to be connected with both being affected by the clog and before leaving Jorge suggested running my washer to ensure there wouldn't be additional surprises after he left--something I would not have thought of in the moment, but appreciate the consideration of the potential given that he was still here and could work on any additional problems! A very professional service and I will be recommending them to my friends and family in the area without hesitation! read more

If your ever need of a great plumber, look no further. Jorge came with professional equipment and was able to find the issue and solve it quickly. I will be using him for any of my future plumbing issues. read more
