Was assigned to JO Plumming by my Insurance. Called to set up appointment and they were nearby and arrived within 10 minutes. The repairman was friendly and quickly evaluated my plumming issue and had it fixed within 15 minutes. Would recommend their service. read more

Armen installed a whole house water filter and water softening system for us back in March. It was complicated and required he come back a 2nd day. He did a fantastic job and went above and beyond expectations. Definitely recommend him! read more

Very bad service. After have trouble with the shower mixing valve the repair man asked for $350 to repair the valve because the problem was not happing at that time. First American home would not help with the cost of $125 copay so for $17.00 I change the part myself. Best to think about what this experience was like for me and pick better business to deal with. read more

Amazing experience with JO Plumbing. I had a clogged kitchen drain that was getting worse and needed someone to take a look. Armen came out, quickly figured out what was causing the blockage, and got everything cleared up. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain what he was doing without trying to upsell me on anything. He also cleaned everything up before leaving. Really appreciate the honest and efficient service. I would definitely recommend Armen to anyone who needs a reliable plumber. read more

Armen Ohanyan is a Con artist. He's in bed with the insurance companies and will make you pay $400 for cleaning a 15 year old water heater before writing a report for a replacement water heater $600. I do not recommend especially in an emergency. We have gone 10 days without hot water because Armen Ohanyan suggest general maintenance cleaning so he can charge you instead of help you and your family out this man will make sure you go without hot water until you pay for a cleaning first. This foreigner is a con artist please avoid this scam artist!. we have a newborn and this guy can care led about us not having hot water! read more

J.O. Plumbing is as honest as it gets. Arman gave me his genuine opinion without any BS, upselling, or trying to create problems that didn't exist. It's rare to find a contractor who values honesty. A well-deserved 5 stars! read more

Called for appt. Came within 20 min. Very curteous, attentive, and seevice was performed immediately. Definitely 5 star.

My Home Warranty company referred me to J O Plumbing and Rooter for service to repair 3 plumbing problems I had been putting up with for several weeks. Of course J O was not the same firm as the one that came out for previous problems and I was a little apprehensive on what to expect. Armen arrived the afternoon of the day I submitted my service request and was ready to go to work. The first problem was a serious water leak that occurred every time the toilet was flushed. The leak was caused by a worn seal between the toilet tank and bowl. He did a fantastic job of handling the bulky toilet tank and replacing the seal, bolts and washers with new hardware. The second problem was with the water valve in the tub/shower. When the water was diverted to the shower, water leaked from the valve. After Armen removed the valve he determined the repair required more than a washer replacement and needed a new valve which he had in his van. No need to make a run to Home Depot for parts! The third problem was a bathroom sink valve which leaked constantly and had been shut off at the inlet source for weeks. Eventually, the valve wound up "frozen" and would not turn at all. Armen showed me the worn internal worn part (valve seat?) which had to be replaced. My house is getting old and much of the internal parts are old and worn. I was impressed with Armen and his knowledge and ability to identify and repair my recent plumbing problems. I appreciate the way he kept me informed (natural curiosity) as he made the repairs. It was a rewarding experience having Armen here and I know who to call for future plumbing problems. read more

Armen from J O Plumbing is absolutely amazing. He is professional, responsive, polite, and effective. Armen arrived on time and he quickly assessed the situation with our shower. He then went to work and fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. He was very polite and respectful throughout the entire process. I was very impressed with his professionalism and his customer service skills. I would highly recommend Armen and J O Plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing services. They are a great company with excellent customer service. read more

New homeowner here, and I want to say Armen has made the move so much more enjoyable and less stressful! He's come to my house several times already and each time his work is excellent. He is also very efficient, professional, and on time. Highly recommend JO Plumbing & Rooter for your plumbing needs. read more

Armen was amazing! He was honest, quick, and got everything done that needed to be done. Another company was going to charge us almost $1,000 for a $10 job. Thank you Armen !! read more

I was connected with JO plumbing through my home warranty. He helped with a leaky shower, a pressure regulator, and a noisy toilet. Fixed everything that needed to be fixed without any issues. I would recommend using JO if you need plumbing work done, especially if you are going through home warranty. read more

Very prompt and knows what they are doing. I had them over to fix two issues that were initially tried by some other plumber and they fixed them pretty well. Very polite, explains the problem clearly and easy to work with. Thanks read more

I cannot say enough good things about Armen at JO Plumbing. After dealing with a few terrible plumbers my home warranty company finally sent out Armen to give a second opinion regarding my leaking faucet and broken hot water valve. Armen was professional, courteous, timely, honest, and remarkably competent. He quickly assessed and diagnosed my plumbing issues, and then confidently resolved to repair them without resorting to costly replacements. After coordinating to schedule a water shut-off for my condominium Armen promptly showed up, made the repairs, and then followed up with me afterwards to make sure everything was fixed. I highly recommend Armen at JO Plumbing! Five stars! read more

Armen is fantastic. Twice I've asked him to come over for some issues and twice he's been fast, professional, and gotten the job done. There's no wasting time with him. He gets straight to the point and, while the jobs were relatively minor, he was in and out within 30 min each time. Each time I've called, he's also picked up instantaneously. He keeps you updated as to his whereabouts and when to expect him. I couldn't be happier with his work. The first time I got in touch with him was through home warranty. I was so pleased with his work that I made sure to get his business card. The second time, I just decided to call him directly and I'm glad I did. Problems I couldn't solve on my own were immediately resolved by Armen in a heartbeat. The next time I have a plumbing issue, you know who I'm going to call. read more

He did great for me! I was not expecting much because my water heater is not that new and also he came through our insurance. I feel that it is a hit or miss with them. Armen not only that he was punctual, but he was in constant communication with me. He went above and beyond to make sure that he doesn't need to come back. What I love about him, is that he is very informative and he really tries everything possible to make sure that he fixes your problem. I did get a good honest vibe from him. He will definitely get a call back from me when I need to remodel my bathroom and I already shared his number with my friends that own homes. We always save the good ones, which is hard to find these days. Thank you, Armen for giving us hot water again! Lifesaver! read more

Toilet was running all of the time. Another plumber quoted me several hundred dollars to change out all of the hardware in the tank. Home Warranty company sent J.O. Plumbing and they fixed it by just switching out the flash valve ring. read more

Extremely overpriced I've never heard of anybody charging $300 to put in a 3-in sink and and another $350 to put a drain in a brand new sink do better I can't believe what a scam this company is on top of that they're rude I told him I've been doing this my whole life it doesn't take that long to do he said well then do it yourself in other words $650 to put in a faucet in a brand new thing and just the drain in a bathroom read more

My toilet kept making a loud noise every 15 minutes. I called a few plumbers & they said it was just the flapper that didn't fit right so they changed it. Nope. That didn't work. JO Plumbing came today & he figured it out after meticulously testing a few things. The plastic was cracked inside of the pipe which is not common. He was professional & nice. Diagnosed & fixed it within 30 minutes! Would definitely use them again! read more

J.O. Plumbing was great! Armen came in and replaced my garbage disposal and leaky kitchen faucet when a different plumber came in, looked under my sink and walked out, telling me they would send a quote. Armen was very polite and professional and I really appreciated him rolling up his sleeves. Thank you! read more

I was connected with JO Plumbing & Rooter via my home warranty when my toddler flushed a whole pair of his pants down the toilet. In a panic, I called and expressed the urgency of the matter to Armen, who arrived promptly to save the day! While the service he provided (removing a foreign body from the toilet) is not technically covered by insurance, he graciously waived the additional fee he should have charged me because he chose kindness instead. Thank you Armen and JO Plumbing & Rooter for acting quickly to successfully remove the pants from the toilet. I appreciate you!!!! read more

So what do you do when you know you have a leak? You call your homeowners and hope for the best. J.O.'s came out in record time and after making enough holes in the dry wall, determined I had a leak. Well yeah, I knew that. Unfortunately, it's in a location that needed approval for coverage (hidden by a structural beam so they have to now make holes in the outside stucco and hope that it can be accessed that way). I'll update the review once the actual work is complete, but my initial stars are for promptness and getting the additional work approved in a very timely manner. read more

Armen was our 2nd opinion through FAHM after the issue had not been fixed by the previous plumber. In 10 minutes he was able to access and fix the issue. Going forward he will now be our first call! read more

Do not use this company. We had a water heater in the house that was covered under First American Home Warranty (FAHW). FAHW sent a plumbing company out and they said the water heater needed to be replaced. FAHW then decided they needed to get a 2nd opinion from J.O. Plumbing. J.O. Plumbing came out and said our water heater wasnt working PRIOR to us buying the house EVEN THOUGH WE HAD BEEN USING IT FOR MONTHS. We even sent them the inspection report showing the water heater was in perfect condition when we bought the house. Thanks to J.O. Plumbing, the claim got denied. This company is engaged in fraudulent activity with FAHW. And, the guy on the phone from J.O. Plumbing was super rude over the phone. read more

Same day repair. Polite, responsive, provided information about what was wrong, showed pictures and explained what was the quoted price based upon. Tried to work around my schedule, as I work from home, and were done writhing the time quoted. I am very satisfied and I highly recommend J. O. Plumbing & Rooter! read more

Armen provided exceptional service when fixing my water heater. He was prompt, attentive, and resolved the issue quickly. Additionally, Armen was friendly and engaged in pleasant conversation. Overall, a positive experience with excellent service. read more

Not only did the plumber come when he said he would, he figured out how to get to my unit without asking, and not only fixed the problem I called him to fix, but also fixed another problem that the previous owner said was a building issue! I've lived with a ridiculous noise for nearly a year, & this gentleman fixed it unbidden in literally 10 minutes. Outstanding. read more

Armen was our third opinion, second through FAHW. The first two plumbers each tried to bill us $650 for unnecessary hydrojetting and installing another trap. JO Plumbing and Armen was able to rooter our kitchen sink in 15 minutes flat. Armen is scrupulously honest, hardworking and came when he said he would!! He is now our plumber on speed dial!!! read more

Armen was terrific in every way. Came next day, on time, was polite and knowledgeable, fixed problem quickly. Extremely satisfied. He was sent by AHS but I would call him again if I ever needed service not covered by my warranty. read more

Big thanks to Armen for his quick response time and fix of our leak. Bonus points for arriving wearing a mask; just shows he's considerate of those he interacts with. He was in and out in under 10 minutes. Fixed the problem. Was friendly. Zero complaints. Will not hesitate to use him again if needed. read more

This review is long over due. First, this plumber (Armen) found a very difficult leak that saved hundreds of dollars and a week or 2 of bathroom repairs. He was honest and charged me a good rate. Second, he did excellent work and he did not give up until he found the leak. I really appreciate his help in fixing this leak because he put in time and work for this leak. read more

I had a main drain root blockage and had to call emergently because the water is overflowing in my shower and toilet. Someone recommended JO plumbing in our next door app, that was a mistake. Armen spent a max of 20 mins snaking the main drain and only got a small amount of root. He didn't want to push his snake further because he is afraid to break it. After we ask him to try more, if we are gonna pay for his snake if it breaks. Aren't plumbers covered if their equipment breaks, isn't that part of the business. $200 of 20 mins of labor, my drain clogged again and I borrowed a drain snake at Home Depot. I was able to remove a massive root clog without breaking the snake I borrowed. Check out the root I removed myself. Sorry but I normally don't write reviews in Yelp but this left me frustrated. Never again. read more

JO Plumbing & Rooter - Check out the root I removed myself. SMH - Plumbing Near Me - Lake Balboa, California

The water from my bathtub upstairs flooded through the ceiling into my bathroom downstairs. The first plumber that came out said we needed a new overflow kit and was about ready to charge us $1,300. I didn't know much better, but I did think that was pretty high so I called J.O. Plumbing and he fixed the issue within minutes. It turns out it wasn't the overflow kit like the first plumber said, but an old gasket. He replaced the old gasket and it was as good as new! Not only did he do a great job, but he saved us a ton of money. Thank you J.O. Plumbing!! read more

Had a drip issue in my bathroom- a leaky faucet and dripping tub. Fixed everything up perfectly in under an hour! He also discovered another plumbing issue I didn't even by know I had, which he also quickly fixed for me. Rootered the sinks as well. Very efficient and polite! Would recommend read more

Highly recommended! Very knowledgeable and experienced. We're happy with the work he did with servicing our old water tank. This saved us money and we're so relieved that we have working water tank. Thank you so much! read more

Had the pleasure of meeting Armen today for a leaky shower. He was awesome! Very professional and polite and those are 2 important qualities. I'm always weary of some of the companies that Home Warranty sends, but this was a winner. (*side note, just because home warranty sends them, doesn't always mean they're great.). This guy was great. If anyone is looking for a plumber, I would 100% recommend Armen. read more

Got this company thru FAHW insurance. Armen came as quite arrogant technician, started to tell me what I should have done when I bought my house 20 years ago. Try to belittle with lots of sarcasm. Defiantly said that he does not have long enough extension cable as it is somehow my fault(it did not require very long one). Then he said his snake is not long enough and the other one is too heavy for him to carry. The most important his diagnosis was completely incorrect. Did not want to deal with insurance company because they would send him back, I contacted another plumber who fixed problem within 1 hour. I believe he just lied without any remorse. I started to laugh when I saw his track with words that "honesty is the key to success". read more

Six years later I am working with Mr. Arman again, and he is just as professional as he was six years ago. We went above and beyond the call of duty to help me. Where we was unable to do so he said so immediately, making sure not to waste time. He was mindful with regard to Covid. He wore shoes covers, a mask and gloves. He was also sire to tidy up the space once all was completed. read more

Armen is professional, fair, and kind. Our water heater was leaking water and he came as soon as he could. He communicated clearly and was reliable and on time. He was patient to explain and answer all my questions. He worked quickly but was also very thorough. I would definitely recommend his service. read more

They gave a dishonest report to our insurance company just so they wouldn't have to complete my part replacement. They basically accused us of breaking the toilet intentionally...I have never heard that before. First told us that our insurance company denied the claim, and then later told me that he asked the insurance company to deny it so that he could charge me more for the work. The level of disrespectful customer service was upsetting. read more
