Nick has an amazing attitude and presence. When no other plumbers would return my call he was very prompt and reliable. Will use again for all my commercial services at the restaurant. read more

Gateway Rooter - Commercial sink & faucet. - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Gateway Rooter offered such great service. Nick in particular was so helpful and professional - with several issues that needed fixing in both the kitchen and bathroom. He arrived exactly on time, and got both jobs done in no time. I was impressed with the level of service, and absolutely recommend Gateway for any plumbing issues. read more

Daniel was the kindest most responsive plumber we have ever worked with. I had an issue with a kitchen faucet and called on a Saturday. He tried to walk me through a self repair via text . When I wasn't able to to proceed he agreed to a time to come by on Monday and made the repair quickly! I highly recommend gateway and give him more stars if possible. read more

Of all the vendors I messaged asking for quotes on Yelp Gateway was the best by quite a bit. Daniel responded very quickly and with an extremely competitive quote ($160 to fix a shower that wouldn't drain, parts and labor included). He was able to commit to a next morning appointment via Yelp messaging, which was really important to me. When compared to other plumbers who required phone calls, back and forth without actually providing quotes, and in some cases did not call back at all, choosing Gateway was easy. This is a business type where the service provider needs to be willing to get their hands dirty. Like really dirty. Daniel and his associate did a great job with my place, unafraid to get to the "root" of the issue. They take cash, check and credit card, and in my case were completely done with the job in just twenty minutes. (While some point to a short appointment as a negative, I say, it's a job I'm not doing myself and the faster you can do it, the better) They were late, but also proactive about taking corrective action. I appreciate this in a service provider. Gateway also offers a 30 day warranty on their work, so while I certainly hope I don't need to take advantage of it, I feel confident the problem will actually get solved in the unlikely case it isn't already. read more

I reached out to Gateway at 10pm on a Friday night with a request to see how much it would cost to snake a drain pipe on my roof that I thought might be blocked. I was also hoping that they could send someone out the next morning to check it out. Pipe dream, right? Nope not with these guys. Not kidding when I say that Daniel messaged me back within 5 minutes, which I didn't expect, but was impressed by none the less. We arranged for them to come out the next morning. Say whaaat?! He showed up. Gave me an honest assessment of my situation - it wasn't a drainage issue, it was a roofing issue. Daniel gave me some tips on how to maintain the drain, and was on his merry way. Will definitely call these guys the next time I need plumbing help. read more

My moms owner didn't want to pay for her plumbing that had backed up so I found gateway rooter on here and seen they have good reviews. So I called them and Nick and his son Nick Jr. came over and did an amazing job. I highly recommend them. Reasonable pricing and to the point. They even put a brand new tool in my toilet on their behalf. So grateful for that. read more

They will lay some pipe. A shadowy plumbing organization with a mysteriously exactly-the-same address as Philz Coffee, and zero listing in any phone book or internet. How did I find them? A banner they had an intern at kinko's throw together. No other way to get the phone number. Brass tacks, they ripped out my circa-1900 building's horrifically corroded and leaky wastewater "system" and replaced it all to 4 apt. units for about 7 Gs. Not cheap, but damn, that was some gnarly work, all in tight spaces with decades of rust, leakiness, moldiness, sodden plaster, and filth. I wouldn't do it for any price, so I consider it a deal. Even passed inspection, so it must be to the letter, as it were. Daniel's a super nice guy and seems quite honest. Give 'em a try. read more

Pros: very quick to respond, came same day, and got the job done relatively quickly ($160 to rooter my kitchen drain pipes for a sink that wouldn't drain). Cons: never bothered to identify or introduce themselves upon arrival. Would have marched right in the house had I not asked their names and introduced myself. Rooter jobs can be very messy - this one sprayed black gunk everywhere under my sink and in the crawlspace for drain access. They sort of cleaned up, but I was left with black gunk all over the place which took me nearly an hour to clean up. A little prevention (drop cloth or something) plus a little more effort on the cleanup would have been appreciated. read more

Hire the right person for the right job. Always. An emergency situation arose. Tenant's sink was backing up and unknowingly to us, the landlord, they poorly installed a rusty old kitchen faucet, letting water leak into the cabinet below. Shut off valves were leaking too. Bad things come in threes, yes? Made an appointment with Daniel. He and Jose came, divided, and conquered. We decided on a combo of snaking and jet propulsion water for the drain and they worked fast to clear the clog and check the pipes with a snake camera, reminiscent of surgeons checking patients' arteries. And Daniel correctly installed the new faucet with supply lines and replaced the shut off valves. The price for the whole job was reasonable. A sigh of relief. I will call them again for other plumbing needs and highly recommend them. Thanks. read more

I have used Gateway Rooter a number of times over the last few years and have had very good experiences each time. Daniel is super chill and gets the work done. I've never felt stiffed or price gouged, he charges very reasonable rates and gets the work done on time. My last project for him was the biggest. I had been having problems with my basement studio flooding each time there was a decent storm in San Francisco and although he had been snaking my drains, and he even rebuilt one of them, the water was leaking in from the basement door sill and other places. I had been calling contractors to my house to fix the problem and each contractor had different ideas on how to fix the problems. One contractor even said it could cost up to $50k to replace the back wall of my house since he thought the problem could be caused dry rot. OMG, that scared the hell out of me. I called Daniel to come out and see if he had any ideas about why my basement studio was flooding and we decided that the problem was 2 fold: 1) The upper level outdoor drain needed to be enlarged so that all the water could drain out since the current drain was pretty small. 2) Most likely the leaking issue over my door sill in the basement studio was happening because the gutters had never been cleaned and the rain was running down the side of my house instead of draining down the gutter drains. Once he enlarged the upper outdoor drain and replaced the gutter and pipe that goes into the sewer the rain stopped coming into my house. I also had another gutter company come out and replace the other gutter and drain because Daniel did not have the correct type of ladder to get to that part of my roof. After all this work was done my leak problem that had been plaguing me for a few years ceased. I did not have to pay $50k to fix the problem and only paid a couple of thousand all together. I am very happy with the work that Daniel does and will be loyal customer from now on. Thanks Daniel! read more

Called them this morning with a blocked sink. They gave me a 3pm appointment. Showed up on time, fixed the problem, gave me a 30 day warranty in case it got blocked again, charged me $80 and went on their merry way. Excellent and fair service. Would definitely use and again and recommend to others. read more

These guys are great. They came in and helped us with a sewer emergency in my building's basement. First visit they rooter-ed the drain, cleaned up the mess and provided us with an estimate for the replacement of the clogged pipe. Their estimate was reasonably priced, and they did the work fast and thoroughly, and kept us well informed throughout the process. Highly recommend Gateway Rooter. read more

Daniel and his team were called to fix the overflow on a bathtub that was newly installed by a contractor Gateway came over quickly, replaced the overflow and pipes and had the bathtub back up and running in less than 3hrs. Although I would have paid whatever it took to stop the leak, Gateway had the best price....bonus! The best part of my experience is the peace of mind they gave me that the job was done right. There was no way I was gonna call back the contractor who did a jerry-rig job in the first place. Daniel and the Gateway team explained the problem and recommended I call the contractor to do the work. This let me know that this wasn't an ordinary greedy company that just wants the job, they looked out for my interest. Need a tub replaced? Don't waste your time calling someone else first, call Gateway Rooter and Plumbing. read more

It was the day after the Giants won the World Series and we had a plumbing issue (over flowing toilet every hour, really gross) that needed prompt attention. I called at least 10 plumbers and I think everyone was still recuperating from the night because nobody answered and only 2 called me back, Gateway Rooter being the first. They were a little tardy, but the communicated with me that they were running late (and I wasn't too surprised given the amount of construction around my neighborhood... zero parking spots) so really no issue there. The reason for the 5 stars is because they were professional, friendly and cleared up our messy problem in 5 minutes flat. They were also reasonably priced (in my book, anyway... I'm not sure what the going rate is for plumbing services but it felt reasonable to me) and I would recommend them to anyone. read more

I would give Daniel and Jr a 10 star. I had a tough clogged because when they built the pipes for the toilet, they used the wrong fitting so the snake would end up in the wrong direction, it went toward the kitchen sink. We tried to do it ourselves but no luck. We called another plumber and he gave up after 5 minutes. So I went on Yelp and found Daniel. Gave him a call and scheduled to come in the morning. They arrived 30 mins earlier than scheduled. I explained the situation to him and he brought all his equipment, unlike the other guy. Camera, jetter, small, medium and large nake, and whatever you can think of. It was tough but Daniel and Jr never gave up. The eventually go the clog after 90 mins. I was so relieve, giving that it took us a couple of days and two different plumbers. And guess what he was really really affordable giving the amount of time he spent on it. I will differently call him again if I have another plumbing issue. read more

After two days of trying to clear a clogged sewer main myself, I finally gave in and called Daniel. He was super easy to work with and came out the day I called. Daniel and his assistant Vy went to work right away to clear out the line. All in all I was glad I called him because they were able to clear out the obstruction with a little effort. His price was very reasonable considering the short notice. I won't hesitate on using him again or referring him to my family or friends. read more

Daniel is the best guy to work with. I called couple companies to fix the leak they wanted $350. Daniel charged me half price. if you have any plumbing problems gateway rooter is the one. read more

Gateway Rooter - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Just wanted to add that I continue to use Gateway Rooter, and they're still great! They're still one of the more affordable plumbers out there, they work quickly, they're personable, they fit you in their schedule quickly, and they even work Saturdays (which saves you having to take a day off work). They just left my house and everything works like a dream. Thanks, guys!!! read more

Nothing but hugs and kisses for Danny da Plumma at Gateway Rooter. All my drains were clogged and after clearing the drains he come into the kischen and makea me and my familia burritos and tacos and feeds everyone. 3 burritos + 2 tacos for Danny da cookin Plumma! read more

Probably a speed record from the time I first called them to them completing a snake of my shower drain: only about an hour.

Very nice and competent. Had a problem with the plumbing connections to my dishwasher and garbage disposal. Fixed that and helped me with my hot water heater. Charged me less than the estimate!! Thank you. read more

Another terrific, timely and courteous job done! Thank you guys. Nice to have an affordable and honest plumber in San Francisco. STRONGLY recommend! read more

I needed a garbage disposal changed . I called around to get a sense of what is involved and how much it would cost. Of the five places I contacted, 2 gave me a price of $250-$300 and the other 3 were around $150-$160. Based on my telephone conversation with Daniel (turned out to be the owner) and the Yelp ratings (Yahoo also had similar ratings), I decided to go with this company. It was one of the best decisions I made. We talked in the morning and made an appointment for the afternoon of the same day. Daniel and his assistant came on time, fixed the problem, cleaned out the work area, and even did some stuff which was not part of our discussion, WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGE. What a treat. I will very highly recommend this company and I will definitely call them for my future repairs. read more

I LOVE THIS GUY! We've used Daniel for many years now, from fixing plumbing problems, to installing a new toilet and sink. Before finding Daniel we had been royally ripped off by a few other big name plumbers. I'm so happy to have found Daniel. I forget how I found him years ago, but I highly recommend him to everyone I know. Thank you Daniel! read more

If you want a plumber who gets the job done the first time, or doesn't need an assistant, or tests their work before they leave, or shows up on time... keep looking. If you want to use all your vacation time on plumber visits and then play plumber's assistant when they do finally show up, then this is the plumber for you. If you love contractors who take 7 appointments to do a job they said they could do in one appointment, call Gateway. If you like hanging around waiting for the plumber to show up, these guys would be great for you. (They were regularly late. Once only 10-15 min. late, but usually more than an hour. At least once more than 2 hours. Visits they said would take 10 or 20 minutes turned into hours-long ordeals.) If you have nothing to do while the plumber is working, and want to help the plumber test their work, this is the plumber for you. If you want a plumber who opens up a pipe without putting something under it first to catch any water that comes out, call Gateway. read more

Daniel and Gateway Rooters overall are a bunch of honest and trustworthy guys when it comes to not just Plumbing service...but home and customer service...all of them put on booties and clean up after job is done...even cleaned places they did not touch!!! Daniel couldn't of made much money with the price he quoted !?! Saved me a bunch of cash and most importantly time....since they are a complete full service plumbing company.....So if you need repairs...replacing....or all new...or just minor service call....Give Dan and his guys a call.... read more

Wonderful service. Had to uninstall a bidet and toilet and move it from downtown LA to a house near Dodger stadium and install it there. All while installing the old toilet and removing the old one in the house as well. Took the old toilet with him so we didn't have to worry about it afterwards, it was great! Will be calling them again for any plumbing service. read more

Just SO impressed with Gateway Plumbing. I was preparing my house for sale and thought I simply needed to have a blocked pipe cleared. It turned out that the entire sewer line was compromised and needed to be replaced. It was quite a shock - but Daniel quickly diagnosed the problem and provided a competitive quote. He and his crew did a great job - and went above and beyond in working around rain, our photography schedule, and getting all the inspections done in time. Highly recommended! read more

This review is for Daniel. I am absolutely blown away at how responsive this team was to a problem we were having with a sink. After another plumber failed to show on the job, Daniel and his team member were there the next day to assess the situation and see if they could help. They followed up on all the questions that we had, giving us a very fair quote and overall being so impressive with customer service. So grateful to have found them! As a fellow business owner I will absolutely be using Daniel in the future! read more

Did they ultimately solve my plumbing issue? Yes, hence the 3 stars. They arrived extremely late for the appointment and did not communicate this fact ahead of time which was really frustrating. read more

These folks literally showed up within 10 minutes after I called them with an emergency situation. They worked on it for over 2 hours and the final charge was $200. I thought it was very reasonable for the work they did, and the time they spent doing it. I'll totally work with these folks again in the future! read more

As all the other reviews have suggested, everything was seamless! Very efficient and timely communication. Messaged via Yelp last night; guys were here this afternoon. Fixed the issue in a timely manner and greatly appreciate the 30-day warranty (For a broken garbage disposal). read more

Absolutely 5* all the way. Left an urgent message about 9.30pm last night expecting to hear from Daniel in the morning but he text back about 20 mins later to say he could come see to my issue first thing in the morning!! Arrived with two other gentlemen and off to work they went - replacing a leaking water heater that had spilled all over the garage floor. What a headache. They cleaned up the water (saving us $400 from Saver-vac), and replaced the water heater all within a few hours. Definitely top of the list for go to plumbers in San Francisco!! read more

These guys were so great and showed up at my door 20 min after I called. He was in and out within 15 min. Will definitely keep his contact info. Thanks for the quick fix! a read more

A friend gave me Daniel's number, although he actually didn't use him. Why not? Because Daniel wouldn't get back to him or respond to calls/emails for days, and when he finally did stop by, he wouldn't give him an estimate. Told my friend to write it up himself? So, he went with another guy, more expensive but at least he communicated. I thought I'd give Daniel a try, and emailed, and he came right over the next day, signed a contract for the following month to start work installing a complete new bathroom. Seemed like my friend was wrong about him. So, now, it's a week before he's supposed to start, so I call him, and email him, every day for a week and no response. What? So I'm back to square one, and calling other plumbers for estimates. Got one who actually was $250 less than Daniel.... So, Daniel finally calls back, and says he was out of town in LA (no answering service, I suppose, or telephones in LA?) He says he'll call me back, as he has a conference call. I say great, I wanted to talk to him, since I had found someone a slightly bit less expensive, but wanted to talk to him and go with Daniel, because (1) I have a signed contract with him, and (2) Daniel's yelp comments were better, and he seemed nicer. Well, Daniel never calls back, so I call him and leave another message, saying I'd like him to call so we can discuss starting work in 2 days. He texts me back and says: "Go for it" ???? what??? go for what? Where is he? He then continues to text me back and forth like we're in high school, even though my response is please call me, I'd like to talk with you... I tried flattery: "I'd prefer to go with you, since we've signed a contract and you're so nice..." but nothing but snide remarks back "hope it isn't angel's plumbing"... So, IF he'll respond, and IF he'll show up after signing a contract for over a thousand dollars of work, and IF he'll talk to you, maybe he's good. Never had the opportunity to find out. So immature and unprofessional, I'd rather pay more for someone who can act right. read more

We woke up to a plumbing emergency (on a Saturday) & these guys were there within an hour. Within a couple of hours, they not only fixed the problem but also put a camera down our pipes to diagnose what caused it. Plumbing tends to get expensive fast so I was super psyched that they gave us an estimate under $200 and stuck to it. They were great, reasonably priced, professional, & nearby; would definitely call again. read more

Obviously it depends on who actually does the work, but the man who worked on my home wasn't qualified. His copper work was shoddy and he manners horrendous. He was unreliable. I had to fire him and hire someone else to tear out his work and start over. I was adding a sink to a WC and a toilet to a half bath. I also needed a new valve for a shower.The job was fairly routine and Gateway was actually recommended by my carpenter. Three men showed up and the one who seemed to know what he was doing turned out to be a sub-contracter who was kicking in during a busy time. I wish he had stuck with the job, but after the first day, which went fairly smoothly, he never came back. After the second day of work he didn't even show up, and when he did come to do a few hours of work here and there I was very nervous. The shower was crooked and off center, the pipes in the basement were spagetti, and he even burned a hole in my carpenter's pneumatic hose. Then actually tried to tape it to repair it. I really lost respect when I heard him cursing his helper who clearly wasn't the problem. The guy was a mess. Soon enough, I had to stop him He had gotten more than half of the money and wasn't about to pay it back so I just said goodbye and hired someone else to redo the work. I lost 10 days on a 4 week job, plus a few thousand dollars. Ouch. At least he eventually bought the carpenter a new hose. read more

If you need a professional, honest and high quality plumber job, you definitely have to hire Daniel from Gateway Rooter. He came right away, he charged a good price for his services and he definitely know what he is doing. You can count and relay on their service. Highly recommend!!! read more

Daniel came within 15 mins, snaked, fixed, looked again after to diagnose problem! Very smart, nice, helpful... Excellent price! read more

Daniel and his crew were AMAZING. Here are the reasons. 1. I called and he came over within an hour (no extra charge). 2. He fixed a problem another plumber came and tried to fix, but didn't (a plugged drain pipe). 3. Had the tools to do a quick and thorough job-- including a pipe camera and various washer heads that drilled out the gunk 4. Decided to reduce his quote (with no prompting from me) to 5 dollars less then the first guy-- Aqua plumping (he lacked the tools and quoted me for $2500 to fix the "problem" that Daniel found not to be a problem at all! This was $30 dollars less then the quote. 5. Came back after the plugged pipe was unplugged just to further wash out the pipes. 6. Gave me a 30 day warranty. I would call these guys over Aqua Star ANY DAY OF THE WEEK! read more
