I had a serious plumbing issue and consulted with three different plumbers before calling Gary's Rooter and Hydro Jetting. Each of the other plumbers recommended expensive solutions--breaking open the concrete and replacing the entire pipe or using epoxy lining methods--all at several thousands of dollars. Gary came in and solved the problem completely without any damage to my flooring. He cleared my pipes and took the time to show me on camera exactly how my system is set up, so I could see the issue and the solution firsthand. What really impressed me was his integrity. When I asked him to do additional work to prevent future issues, he could have run up the bill, but instead he told me straight: "No, you don't need anything else." That's the kind of trustworthy professional you want in your home. He also cleaned up thoroughly after himself--a stark contrast to another plumber I'd hired previously who snaked my bathroom and left an absolute mess behind. Highly recommended. Gary's Rooter and Hydro Jetting solved my problem affordably, professionally, and without the hard sell. Five stars. read more

My master bathroom toilet wasn't flushing properly. It was even struggling to flush toilet paper. I had other companies come out, charge me over $300 just for an inspection, and then tell me I needed to replace plumbing under the house because of years of buildup. That repair would have cost thousands more. Gary was referred to me by another happy customer, so I decided to give him a shot, and I'm glad I did. He came out, diagnosed the issue, and fixed it within minutes. The guy is a true pro and only charged me $50. Plumbing costs can feel out of control these days, but Gary was honest, fair, and compassionate. His pricing felt reasonable for a quick, straightforward fix instead of charging hundreds unnecessarily. Thanks again for everything, Gary. Highly recommend! read more

I called Gary when our toilet and bathroom sink were draining poorly. He and his colleague came the next morning and washed out our drain and repaired our toilet and sink problems. Very nice guy and fair price. Definitely will use him again! Mark Lewis read more

I will use them again. I'm pretty happy with the service. I had a blocked main line under the house, that I was unable to clear myself, so I'd needed to call a pro. I googled for drain cleaning services and Gary's Rooter and Hydro-Jetting came up, with good reviews. I double checked reviews with Yelp, and decided to give him a call. He answered. Not a dispatcher or national service third party, like I would have gotten if calling one of the well known Rooter company names. The actual guy answered the phone. He gave me a ballpark estimate over the phone, with the reasonable caveat that until he sees the issue he can't know for sure. He and his partner came within a few hours, which was the time he'd estimated over the phone. They assed the issue and confirmed pricing based on what they saw, then they cleared the obstruction quickly; ran a camera through the pipe to show me how it looks; and discussed options for hydro jetting. While they'd cleared the main problem swiftly, it made sense to me to also have them do the hydro jetting of some roots that were closer to the street, as a preventative measure. That was also done pretty quickly, and I also got to see the before and after video camera feeds of the inside of the pipes. All-in, I was happy with the service and considered the cost to be transparent and fair. read more

We had roots in the mainline. I spent three days trying to get them out - DIY guy and all. With a home jetter, camera the works - no luck. They kicked my butt. In defeat, I called Gary. He came out to our place within a couple hours and after fighting those damn roots - cut and flushed them into submission. He also marked exactly where my problem was for repair work - incredibly valuable for me. Thank you Gary for a great job and reasonable price! read more

Gary's Rooter Service came by in the morning and helped us clean out our Sewer Lateral to the main-city line. He was very helpful, efficient and fast! We were using the Burbank SLURP Rebate Program and he was able to help us record the footage for us to present to the city for the rebate. Great value with that in mind and very accommodating. We look forward to using Gary's Rooter service again! Very smooth process! read more

Gary is still the best! He's been our go to hydrojetter for years now and his professionalism and expertise has not diminished at all. He is still easy to communicate with, schedule with and pricing is extremely fair. I appreciate how patient he is with explaining what he sees. His recommendations for ongoing care and things to watch for that might indicate a bigger issue are also incredibly helpful. He is very organized and will send you a copy of the hydrojetting video once the job is done. I really don't trust anyone but Gary to touch our sewer lines. read more

We have been using Gary for more than 15 years. He is without doubt the most conscientious professional individual that I have worked with. His attention to detail and unwavering honesty is something to be relied on since we have an original '28 Spanish. I can't recommend him enough! read more

Gary did a great job hydro-jetting the property i manage. The main drain clean out valve was overflowing and water was getting into our tenants garage. Gary was able to come out within 2 hours on a Sunday evening to help us get everything cleared. He sent us video of the beautifully cleaned pipe once the work was completed. Fast, effective, and all for a good price. I will definitely be using Gary again. Would 100% recommend him to others. read more

Had a great experience with this company. Our water started backing up in the evening, and when I reached out, they responded quickly. The next day they provided a clear quote and a set time to come out--and they showed up exactly as promised. The job was completed in less than an hour, and they also took the time to give helpful recommendations to prevent future issues. Professional, efficient, and easy to work with. Would recommend. read more

We had an issue with our main plumbing line and found Gary's through Yelp. They quoted us a great, low price, came out within a couple of hours, fixed the problem, and backed their work with a six-month guarantee. Both technicians were professional, friendly, and left the area clean. If you're in the Valley and need rooter or hydro-jetting services, give them a call. You won't regret it. read more

Gary's Rooter service was great to work with, professional well communicative, and great service. We walked through my sewer line pre and post cleaning. Will use Gary's Rooter again! read more

Came right away, pricing was fair (I called 4 other companies for quotes), friendly guys and took care of my clogged mainline! In and out super fast. I know who to call the next time I need service. Thanks, Gary! read more

Another plumber did a hydrojet and couldn't remove a piece of debris in my sewage line, and said they would charge $2K for excavation that *might* work. Gary came in and removed the debris using his special hydrojet techniques, I was extremely relieved! read more

I've used Gary's Rooter for years, they've come through every time same day in an emergency. It's peace of mind to know I have someone reliable to call at the first sign something needs attention. Most recently, they identified I needed an additional clean out. They arrived on time, conducted the worked as described and went above and beyond repairing things they identified along the way that were out of the scope of work. You can't go wrong with these guys. read more

Came when he said he would, did the work, was honest and excellent and at a competitive price. I plan to seek Gary's help in the future. Thank you Gary! read more

I use LA Hydrojet for maybe 20 years. They had some issues scheduling but the company listens and take action quickly. They are the most honest plumbers supporting landlords. I am a huge fan and I keep use their services regardless of minor issues, since I know for a fact that they care and do redeem themselves. Awesome management! read more

Excellent service. On time. Professional. Great price. Did only what was needed. One company said your pipe was broken and needed to replace the sewer pipe for $5000, another company said hydrojetting for $1600 Gary's did hydrojetting for $395 Wow. Thanks Gary. You guys are the best. Highly recommend. Thanks John T read more

They responded to my service request quickly. Set up an appointment the next day. They came on time and hydro jetted the sewer lines to clear the root blockage. They did a great job and at a reasonable price. I highly recommend using them . read more

Had the same root problem 8 years later. The team worked very hard and was able to get my drain going again. A+++ for them! The guys also ran a camera and showed me where the roots are coming from and explained how to prevent problems like this in the future. The gave me an estimate for installing a properly sized and properly located clean-out (this house does not have one) to allow hydrojet service to cut and remove the roots. Thank you Gary & Team !! read more

We have used Gary and Zach for all of our plumbing needs for over 10 years now. Sewer line replacement, hydrojetting for roots, clogged drains, sluggish toilets, two water heater replacements (different houses) - whether it's a big or small project, they show up on time, offer trustworthy opinions, are mindful of budgets, never overcharge or overestimate what's necessary, never leave a mess, are kind and trustworthy and can I just say that is just RARE and AMAZING and we are grateful for them! read more

We have some big ficus trees in front of our house and though the trees are beautiful, the roots gradually find their way into the sewer line. We regularly need to have our sewer line cleaned out and we have tried a number of different companies over the years. I'm so happy that this time we called Gary to help us hydro-jet our sewer line. Gary and his team were able to schedule us quickly, arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and showed us the before and after video images of our sewer line. Their prices were reasonable and they did not try to upsell us. I really appreciate the great job they did and I will be calling them again next time I need our sewer line hydro-jetted! read more

All can believe on the company's raving reviews. Communication is excellent, timely manner, truthful and efficient. Work is superb and has the ability to work with my spouse, who is handy but not a pro. This company definitely convinced my spouse that it is really BEST to leave this type of work to the experts: efficient, takes a short period of time cuz these guys know what they are doing. A BIG Thank you, Zach & Gary. Your line of work in plumbing for the public makes a world of difference to common folks or homeowner like us! read more

Look its pretty obvious...I don't write a ton of reviews. I always tell myself I will but then...it just doesnt happen. But every once in a while I come across service so top notch that I actually drag my fingers to the keyboard leave a testimonial. Well...Gary is that guy! Exceptional service. Was here within hours. Was super efficient in the service. And, save yourself the comparisons because I already did them, came in tops on pricing and value. A win! Extra credit: I watch people closely (not in a creepy way) when they work. And little things say a lot. The care and precision with which Gary and his team handled their gear and even curled our hose, said everything I needed to know. Top notch. read more

Gary and his team save me from paying $8500 to another company to line my sewer pipe. The other company told me that my pipe was broken due to roots. I called Gary and he immediately told me it was BS. He came out to investigate and completed the hydrojet service. He could've easily offered a lower price to line the pipes but he gave me solid advice. He didn't sale me work that I didn't need and for that I recommend Gary service. read more

Gary came out on short notice and helped us with a mainline clog from the home to the street. He hydrojetted and got us working again. Appreciate his kindness and pleasant personality. Honored his price on this site for hydrojetting! Great deal. Check him out! 5 stars for quality and value! Gary, thanks for helping us out. read more

I have an old sewer line very prone to root problems. I decided I to do a maintenance clean out before I had another back-up. I compared several rooting services on Yelp and picked Gary's Rooter and he proved to be GREAT! He answered his own phone and from my description, he gave me a bid that he kept to. We made an appointment which he confirmed in my text with the bid. On the day I texted him that I was off site, so he dutifully kept in contact on his way so I could meet him there. He showed up on time, layed down floor matts and put a shield on the rooter to prevent liquid from spinning onto the plastic grass yard. His work was done professionally and transparently. He allowed me to watch the video screen as he explained the issues, what he was doing to address them and why. He pointed out problems due to age and prior attempts at maintenance that were lacking and suggested several interesting long-term solutions. I need to forgo those for the moment, but now I have an incredibly clean sewer line from my 1930s house out to the join with the city sewer. There Gary used a hydro-jet and eliminated a huge root that had grown to cover almost a third of the pipe after being ignored by prior clean out companies. (The return the next day with the hydro jet was extra, but I had pointedly requested the Blade Rooter so I have no problem with that. It was fair.) I highly recommend Garys Rooter and will have him back again in a year for another clean out (using the hydro jet from the get go). read more

Gary is honorable, courteous, and very professional. He didn't overcharge or upsell me. He came the same day and unclogged a toilet. I told him I had previously had tree roots growing in pipes, but he didn't just automatically try and sell me a hydroblast service, He quickly identified that the clog wasn't that far down the system. For this reason I will only use him in the future. This kind of integrity is rare in today's world and I appreciate it. read more

Woke up early Saturday morning to get work done around the house (pulling weeds, washing windows etc). It was about 1pm, chores were done and ready to shower and relax for the rest of the day. Opened the shower door and there was 3" of disgusting sewage that came up from the drain. I've lived in this home for almost 10 years and have never experienced anything like that. Contacted the landlord and he tried using a plunger. That didn't work. So he asked me to look for a rooter guy to see if they were available. Found Gary, read a bunch of glowing reviews so decided to give him a call. Spoke to him at 2pm. He was currently on a job and said he would come between 3pm-4pm. Gary showed up at 3:45pm, took one look at the tree in my front yard and knew exactly what needed to be done. I asked if he needed to go inside to look at anything and he said no. Turns out the roots from the tree penetrated the pipes and once he cleaned that out, everything was working perfectly. Job was completed in less than 45mins and it's been 4 days and everything is still working smoothly. The service was great, response time was even better. I was worried since it was Saturday afternoon, I wouldn't be able to have someone come and fix it for the weekend. So grateful Gary and his company was able to come and fix the issue within a few hours. Highly recommend his services. Thank you Gary!!! Appreciate you! read more

Super prompt and professional. I contacted several companies for this Hydrojet service to clean out our sewer line that kept clogging up. He showed up within a few hours (even though it wasn't an emergency). Worked quickly and efficiently, and advised us afterwards of the state of our pipes. Final cost was exactly within the estimate. I'm so glad we found Gary. We will keep him in our contacts should we have any issues in the future. read more

Gary came out to my property and gave me an extensive and thorough assessment, offering me several options and steering me towards the cheaper one, claiming he could successfully open my clogged drain where another Hydro jet company failed. Gary was the third company to come out and attempt to open the line. I agreed to his advice and he was successful in opening the heavily rooted drain pipe and saving me thousands of dollars in the process. I am so happy to find an honest and professional plumber. I will 100% recommend his services and will be using him in the future on all of my properties read more

Gary hydro-jetted my main sewer line, and was able to remove tree roots that other rooter company had failed to do. He was very professional, and showed me on the video screen the condition of the pipe, from the clean out, all the way to the city sewer line. I can see he is very proud of his equipment and his skills. I am very satisfied. read more

Our mainline had roots in it and was draining slowly. We called them around 1 PM today (a Monday) and they recommended that we have the pipe hydro-jetted. We were hesitant because we thought the pipe was galvanized steel but the guy we spoke with said he worked on lots of houses in our area and he was confident that it was a clay pipe. He also said that if the pipes needed replacing and the hydro-jetting didn't work that they would count the cost of the hydro-jetting towards the pipe replacement. They were able to come out by 3:30 the same day! They worked for about an hour and charged us $375. We paid via Venmo which was very convenient. He said he would also email us a copy of the video he took of the inside of the pipe! Very nice! We will definitely use them again if needed. Thank you for the very fast and efficient service!! read more

Gary was an absolute pleasure to work with. He arrived on time, kept everything clean, and clearly knew his craft. He quickly cleared our backed-up kitchen drain using the right tools for the job. His pricing was also very fair and reasonable. read more

Gary and his team were excellent! They were professional, fast & honest. My sewer drain was clogged & he came in and did a Hydrojet & camera scope to let me know the pipe was broken. He even showed me the footage & explained everything in detail to me. Price was also good, very reasonable, especially for the work done! He even checked for a suspected water leak & unclogged a pipe for me! The job ended up being more serious than expected, but he was never pushy & was honest about his recommendation. I'd definitely use him again! read more

Everything about my experience with Gary was great. I wrote a Yelp message late at night and was surprised to get a response promising a phone call the next morning. Gary called on time and tried to help me diagnose over the phone, giving me free advice that could have precluded a diagnostic visit. Unfortunately I did need a new garbage disposal, and Gary was able to fit me in the same day and arrive promptly. He and his team member wore booties without me asking, and worked quickly to address my issue while providing several options. I would recommend working with Gary for any plumbing issues. read more

If I could give him 10 stars I would. Fixed a sewer issue at my house for $600 that another plumber wanted $3700 for. Incredible service and professionalism and fixed the problem in one visit on the spot. read more

This was for the pipes from the house to the street being clogged by roots, etc. Gary, as usual, was the greatest. He contacted me immediately. It was late in the day, so he showed up the next morning at a time convenient for me. They were done quickly and everything was back in working order. I was shown, using their new camera technology, how clogged the pipes were and when finished how the pipes looked and their current condition. Very interesting. If you need plumbing services, call Gary, great service at a reasonable price. THANK YOU SO MUCH‼ read more

I had a plumbing emergency where there was a kitchen leak caused by a blockage in the main pipe of my condo. Chris had to come back at 10pm to repair the leak. They were so patient and helpful during a time of stress for me. They explained the situation and I felt confident I was in expert hands. If you're looking for a plumber, look no further. Very good prices for exceptional quality. Thank you so much Chris!! read more

Called Gary and came out next morning. Pricing seemed pretty fair. Blasted some roots that had entered main drain line. Will be calling him in 6 months for followup. read more
