He also gave good advice when it came to installing a new shower valve. Since there was no way to access where the valve was without cutting the tile, the waterproofing would have been compromised. So according to him, it would be best to either redo the shower or we would have to use a bigger plate than the one that came with our shower valve to cover the big hole in the front in order to make space to work on the valve. Even though in the end we didn't touch the shower, it was mainly because of Ruslan's detailed explanation of what the work would entail.

Charlie's Sewer and Drain set up an appointment and sent out their plumbing tech Cesar to have a look. Cesar was on time, friendly, and knowledgable. He popped open the trap and also tried to clear the clog in the drain with his more industrial-strength snake. Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful -- the pipes are so old and corroded that we suspect it will take a much bigger repair. He wrapped up and cleaned up, and after we discussed possible next steps, he got us an estimate for further work within the hour. He didn't charge us since we weren't able to get the clog cleared, which I really appreciate. At time of writing, we're doing due diligence to collect other estimates, but my engagement with Cesar and Charlie's S&D was really favorable, and deserved a great review.

He came and gave us an estimate, and it was cool that there is a discount for multiples of the same job. He came back the next day to do the work and he walked me thru everything he would be doing and how long it would take so I could plan around the water being off. Got it done sooner than he expected! After he left there was one place that I saw was dripping a teeny bit, I texted and he came back the next day, fixed it, no problem! Coincidentally we needed a backflow test so we had Alex out the following week and he was great too! He let us know that although we passed this year to be ready for next year being a problem, and we appreciate the heads up! The backflow test was $100 less that another place we used to use so we win! We will absolutely use Western again and would recommend them 100%!

After hours on the phone with the previous plumber and the warranty company, they were not able to send someone out until after the weekend so we decided to look for an external company. After checking out Yelp, I called Western Rooter. They answered on the second ring (yay no voicemail box), and they walked me through the process. We were scheduled immediately to be serviced (weekend emergency). I cannot thank them enough! I was stressed out and really discouraged but Ritchie was prompt, knowledgeable, and professional. He cleared out the clog, cleaned out the black sludge in the tub, and even was kind to my very nosey and friendly 3-year-old who wanted to greet him at the door. Their prices were reasonable, the communication was excellent and SO easy. Western Rooter has a loyal customer in me. I will be happy to recommend them to anyone.

He said he would come back the next day cause it would take couple of hours to finish the job.

I was surprised that he even cleaned up the whole area before he left. I really appreciate it.

We bought our home in 2018, and ever since then we've had recurring drainage issues with the line…read moreshared by our kitchen sink, garage sink, and washer. Every time we did laundry, the water would back up into the garage sink. Over the years, we've had several plumbing companies come out, and while they were able to temporarily clear the clog by snaking the drain, every company quoted us an arm and a leg for a "permanent fix." Then we found Magic Rooter & Plumbing, and speaking with Manny was truly a blessing. What immediately impressed me was that, during our first phone call, Manny didn't start by talking about prices like everyone else. Instead, he took the time to explain what was happening with our drain line, what he planned to do, and why. That gave me confidence that he genuinely cared about solving the problem rather than just making a sale. Other companies wanted to charge me $300 just for a camera inspection, but Manny provided a complete solution at a price that was fair, reasonable, and absolutely justified. The results speak for themselves. We no longer have any backflow into the garage sink, the foul odor is completely gone, and the water drains faster than it has in years,it honestly feels like we have a brand-new drain pipe. I was so happy with the results that I already told Manny I'll be calling him every couple of years for preventative maintenance to keep our drain line in great shape. If you're looking for an honest, knowledgeable plumber who takes the time to explain the problem and provides quality work at a fair price, I highly recommend Magic Rooter & Plumbing. Thank you, Manny, for giving us peace of mind after years of dealing with this frustrating issue.

I'm so grateful I reached out to Doug. We had an unpleasant smell coming from a bathroom sink and…read morehad already hired another plumber to take a look. That plumber told us the issue was likely due to our drains not being properly vented and that fixing it could involve breaking into walls and cost somewhere in the $4,000-$10,000 range. I sent Doug a message on Yelp, and he responded quickly with what turned out to be the correct diagnosis: biofilm buildup in the sink's overflow area. Even more impressive, he told me it was something I could probably fix myself. He offered to talk with me by phone and patiently explained what was going on, which I really appreciated because I honestly didn't even understand how that part of the sink worked. In the end, I was able to fix the problem myself with a flexible brush and a little bleach- less than $10 total. Doug could easily have come out and charged me, but instead he gave me honest, expert advice and helped me avoid a huge unnecessary expense. That kind of integrity is rare, and I'll absolutely be calling him first for any plumbing issues in the future.

Doug was able to come and take a look the day we reached out to him. He explained what was wrong (the tank had failed) and how he could tell.

The next day he took care of the warranty replacement through the wholesaler, and installed the new heater for a very competitive price. Doug is courteous, professional, and just a very smart and pleasant person. He is definitely our plumber from now on!
