This is the second time we've used Brian from DrainTech Plumbing, and he continues to be the only plumber we fully trust. The first time we called him was on a holiday, when every other plumber in the area tried to take advantage of the situation. Brian kept his pricing completely reasonable and showed up quickly to clear our drain without any games or upselling. Most recently, we had a more serious plumbing issue at my father's home. My dad is on a fixed income, and knowing that, I needed someone honest who wouldn't take advantage. Brian came out, found the problem right away, and repaired it for an incredibly fair price. His honesty and professionalism mean everything, especially when you're trying to protect a family member. I would recommend Brian to anyone on the mountain. He's reliable, fair, and genuinely cares about his customers - a rare find these days. read more

I had called Brian about a shower problem and he called back that same day, and repaired it the next day. He has a great work ethic, and when you call him he calls you back and takes the time to listen to what's wrong, and he does not overcharge, and most of all he is very reliable. I highly recommend him, and he is my go to plumber. read more

I've used Drain Tech Plumbing in Big Bear on two occasions now, and both times the service has been excellent. Most recently, the tubs and toilets at my vacation rental were backed up. Brian showed up the same day, cleared the main drain, and ran a camera to locate the blockage. Even though I was out of town, he kept me updated by texting pictures and details of the job as he worked. He was quick, professional, and the price was very fair. Drain Tech has a well-earned reputation for honest service, and my experience has confirmed that. Highly recommended. read more

I moved to Big Bear recently, this was my first plumbing problem. Had a scary incident late at night- heard a big booming noise/bang behind the wall in the kitchen then a loud roaring noise. Could also hear it in the bathroom on the other side of the kitchen; between the two is the gas furnace compartment. I felt the wall and it was red hot, omg, so I called the fire department. They came out and thank God it wasn't a fire but a burst hot water pipe behind the wall, and shut off my water. The next day I called a plumber, a well-established outfit, and made an appointment- they never showed or called. I called and got no answer, no call back. Being without water is a pain obviously, so around 3:00 or so I looked online and found Drain Tech. I called and Brian, the owner, though on another job, answered the phone and took my info. He had another job after the one he was on, but said he'd come after that, and he DID, what a relief, also called to let me know when he was on his way. Turned out it was a broken shower valve, rusted through. Brian cut a section of the wall away in the kitchen, repaired/replaced the valve, then neatly screwed sections of board (like 2"x4"s?) behind the cut out area to reattach the drywall to. The entire cavity was soaked, he mopped up the standing water. Best to leave it open and let it dry for a few days to avoid the growth of mold. I have a drill but am not mechanically inclined, he showed me how to reattach the dry wall, or offered to come back and do it himself in a few days, but no need- EASY, even for DIY-challenged me. He even provided me with screws. I especially appreciate it when tradespeople show you what's what, bother to educate you. He also showed me where the water valve is and how to turn it on and off. Outstanding. He left everything clean as a whistle. He was calm, conscientious, detail-oriented. I'm a shy person and he put me completely at ease (good vibes). No forced, chatty banter to schmooze/charm (hate that), just clear focus on the task at hand. And best of all, he charged me an ultra-reasonable price that I was delighted to pay. I found myself a good, HONEST plumber, hooray! read more

Brian @ Draintech is awesome! Thankful to have found him, when it is so difficult to find reliable, knowledgeable help up on the mountain. First time, he came out immediately, to replace a water heater in a very difficult spot, right after a snow storm. He found the right heater, bought it, and brought it. He also put in the pipes for gas conversion, and put in the needed piping/vent, etc. for new washer and dryer connections. He is the best. My only pumbing go-to guy. Responds promptly, and is very friendly. Recommend highly. read more
