OmG...this man is my hero! I just became a homeowner on 7.17 and finished moving in today. I was washing my dishes when I noticed my sink was leaking. Not sure how my inspector missed this! I started freaking out because-no more landlord. Luckily I found Kenny's business card and he had the same number. On a Sunday @8pm this man not only took my call but was fixing my leak within an hour. Best of all was getting such a fair price; considering he came the same day and after hours, he could have increased the price yet he didn't. Keeping his card in a more visible place, love Kenny but hopefully I don't need his services soon. And he's still funny as hell! read more

We had a good experience on time and reliable. Fixed our issue. Reasonable price came quickly.

Ken came out to clear a washing machine drain and a slow bath tub. Knocked them out quick and was a pleasure to talk to. Reasonable rates and he was able to come out just 2 hours after I called. I've tried a few rooter guys around Eagle Rock and Ken will be at the top of my list. Highly recommend. read more

Our kitchen disposal got clogged last night. Ken was able to come within an hour of calling and fixed the problem in minutes. Thank you for the quick and wonderful service!!! read more

Kenny is awesome! The service was great, he came quickly and got the job done immediately. Honestly, this is the 3rd time we've had a rooter come to fix a drain in a very old pipe. He is the only one who seemed to know what he was talking about. Also, he's kinda hilarious, so he's fun to say hello to. read more

I was in serious need of a plumber and he came at the drop of a dime. He was kind, considerate, and willing to do whatever it took. His business is much appreciated very kind and friendly businessman. read more

Low Cost Rooter lived up to their name. Last time I called a plumber and needed immediate service, they upcharged me on their snake job. This time I did more research and found I only needed the services of a rooter on a different sink. Kenny's service was exactly as advertised, no additional charges or services and it was so cheap I had him snake more drains while he was here and it still was less than what a plumber charged for a single visit and sink. Low Cost Rooter is an undiscovered gem on Yelp! read more

We had a drain issue. Kenny came out right away and put in a heroic effort to fix our problem, but due to a quirk of our old house had to refer us to someone else. He did not charge us a dime even despite his work. We are grateful for that and his honesty and recommend him highly. read more

our drains were clogged and had to call a plumber on Memorial day, Ken did a great job on a very reasonable price.

I had an emergency that required a rooter to clear the drain pipes in the bathroom. I called them and within an hour they were at my house. Mind you, I am in Woodland Hills ad they located near Eagle Rock. Not only did they resolved my issue but considering that I had call after hours, their price was not only fait but excellent. Both my wife and I are extremely happy not to mention grateful....they get A+++ read more

I had a bad problem, and Kenny and his assistant came WITHIN THE HOUR, after I had contacted someone else, who then couldn't come. Called him back, and VOILA! They were friendly, kind, professional, and WHO COMES WITHIN THE HOUR these days? Just WONDERFUL! DS. read more

2 years Later, Ken is still on the job! Still same rough exterior, did the job fast and well and kept the work area clean. Will definitely use again! My old Review: Rough exterior, but once you get past that he's an awesome guy. No nonsense, and knows what he's doing. He was on time, went above and beyond by fixing a hairline crack in the P-trap, and charged the agreed amount over the phone and made sure the area was clean after. Will definitely use again if I have anymore plumbing issues. read more

Ken was great! Our drain in our tub mysteriously stopped up. I called Ken and he was able to come fix it after hours! It took him no longer than 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend! read more

Kenny and his side kick Richard were amazing! We had a 5.4 earthquake last night which shook something loose in a pipe and caused water to start pouring out from one of the bathrooms. Then silty greasy water started filling up our bathtub and shower. Then the water was flowing out of the cracked ring of the base of the toilet. We needed help fast. I quickly looked online for a 24 hour plumber, since it was after 10pm, and called the first one i found with a major website and they said we would get a call back shortly from their on call guy. That never happened. So I went to yelp and found the guy closest to us, who also had the best, and most interesting reviews. That is how we found Low Cost Rooter, and Kenny and Richard. They came withing 45 minutes (this is a Friday night, now almost midnight...) and were ready to go. They did a basic inspection and told us that they would do what they can and if it worked we would pay one low price and if it didn't he would be charge less than a third of it for just coming out. This seemed very reasonable, if not inexpensive, so I was a little skeptical. We have an old old house so the way to the main line is through the plumbing vent which is on the roof. Sounds crazy, but I looked it up, and this is true. So... around midnight these guys were on our roof for almost 4 hours with out complaint. Well... except for the time the police helicopter was hovering overhead, and Kenny yelled at him to "Get a f'ing move on! We're trying to work!"... The other reviews are correct about Kenny's penchant for 4 letter words and his extremely large personality. This guy is a crack up! To, I am sure, the frustration of our neighbors, these guy zinged amazing one liners back and forth until around 2am when they decided to stop. They made a little progress, but the quake did something bad and extreme and the problem was not going to be fixed yet. They got us to stasis, where no more water was flowing out of anything, and said they could be back the next day with stronger and bigger weapons. He also handed us back our mop bucket and told us that until the plumbing was fixed, this was our bathroom. So... next day (today) they come back with his bigger blades and snakes and Kenny tells us he will only charge us a fraction of what he quoted the night before when he was tired and cranky. We said fine, and let him do his thing. In the end, we were lucky and they got it all fixed within a little over an hour. He even fixed the toilet for us for no extra cost, which we had already looked up how to do online and had planned to do to save a little money. They seemed to really care about doing a great job, and treated our clog like an enemy. When they left we asked Kenny if he thought this would take care of it, or if it is typical for a this problem to come back soon. His response was, "I don't know.. Light a candle or something!" We told him that we were happy to recommend him to all of our neighbors, and he told us not to. I assume he was joking, but am only now learning about Kenny's interesting sense of humor. For basic plumbing needs, and even more complicated stuff, these guys were great! If it got to the point where we needed our lawn dug up or something, sure, we might ask for a bunch of estimates. But I don't know any other local plumber who would come out at crazy hours and still charge way less then the rest of the guys on the net and in the phone book. So far, so good. Thanks Kenny and Richard! read more

We had been using low cost rooter for a few years to clear our sewer line. Most recently however they came out and the pipe continued to overflow the same evening after they came out. I called I immediately and was told they would be out again In two days because it was Thanksgiving. They never showed up. I called again and the owner agreed begrudgingly to come that day. He indicated that he had changed his mind the day before and didn't want to come out again without at least getting "gas money". For a second time they didn't show up. Now they won't even answer my calls. I'm left with the exact problem after having spent the money to resolve it. Very unprofessional. read more

Kenny is awesome! I am always afraid to call any type of repair man without a strong and good recommendation but I was in a bind. Kenny turned out to be knowledgable , totally honest and funny! Expect a different type of personality but definitely trust worthy and professional, thank you Kenny !! read more

Low Cost Rooter - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I know I'm supposed to review their services, but I have to take a moment to talk about Kenny. He is a character. If you need some spice in your life then throw anything down your toilet to clog it up just to have Kenny come and you'll see what I mean :) There are two things you should know about Low Cost Rooter: They're inexpensive and fast. He always comes the same day I need him and always has the same price. I manage a property, so we're always calling Kenny and we've never been unsatisfied. read more

First, thanks to all the reviewers. You were all spot on. Kenny is a gem and the kind of person you don't across often these days. Responsive, reliable, very reasonable and got the job done. I don't write many reviews unless the service was exceptional and this was. read more

Kenny has come to the rescue again. Can't say how fair his pricing is. To say nothing about his jokes!

He came by and replaced our garbage disposal. Kenny's great not only did he fix our garbage disposal but he was great to our toddler that wanted to see every thing he was doing. He gave him the directions and had him read them to him. read more

See all

Premier and excellent service mr. Reed knows what he's doing

I don't generally post bad reviews but unfortunately I'm very disappointed in the service I have received from Ken, I've paid him multiple times to do the same job, I finally decided to post this review because the same problem occurred within one week and he charged me again, I asked him if he would warranty the job or at least give me a discount he just brushed right over that conversation and said he would put a camera in my drain for an additional $150 dollars, I felt this was bad business that his so-called repair didn't even last a week, I also didn't appreciate him addressing me as (fool) he sounded like a punk kid, last time I'll use his service!! I'm extremely disappointed with his professionalism, company and his business ethic.. read more

This is THE GUY. Rooted out my shower and bath drain on a SATURDAY NIGHT. He was over within an hour. Professional, efficient, and a good sense of humor. read more

I loved him. He was a hoot. He totally got the job done. He's salt of the earth.

Kenny is so great! Great vibe, knows his stuff, and very affordable considering all the knowledge and hard work he did.

These guys are the best and they have the lowest prices. I can't say enough; completely happy with the work they did. The name says it all in LOW COST. They were able to unclog my drain without having to dig, unlike what another company told me. A fraction of the cost I would have paid if I didn't give Kenny a call. Thanks! read more

Very nice I didn't use their service, but the guy was so nice on the phone and has a great sense of humor.

First time using Low Cost Rooter, and i'm very satisfied with the results. Ken unclogged my bathroom sink in 5 mins, and the price was lower than expected. I would definitely be calling them again for my plumbing repairs. read more

I don't usually give reviews on yelp, but when I do that means the subject either deserve to have a five star or a constructive criticism. In this case, I'm giving Kenny a five for his excellent job! read more

I called Low Cost Rooter for a repeatedly backed up toilet. I had been on the phone with my home warranty company several times and for an amount of time that I don't even want to think about. I finally decided to go outside of my warranty company and just called Kenny. He told me he would come that day, luckily for me he had a cancellation and was on the way to my house within a couple of hours. When he got there the problem was way smaller than anyone made it seem. He could have easily over-charged me for the fix, but he didn't. Came in, took care of the problem and asked for a fair price. Much appreciated. read more

Food stucked in the pipes i was in desperate. He fixed easily and it was quick. He was a just amazing and cool kind man! Thanks

Love Kenny! Shows up on the dot, did the job un-rooting the main right, and quickly and then insisted on making sure the sink and tub drains in the bathroom were freshly cleared as well, even though I had thought they didn't need that. They did, though, and he fixed them as well. Can't wait for the Ficus trees to invade the main next time so I can call him back again. read more

After a difference of opinion on the quality of the work provided, I was offered a slight discount and a redo of the original job. While this was helpful, when balanced against the aggravation, shouting matches and threats I think I would pass on any work in the future read more

Ken is great! He cleared drains for 2 sinks and a bathtub in my home for a lower price than I had been quoted by others for just a single drain. He was prompt, worked quickly, was professional and very pleasant. Highly recommended! read more

Like others only spoke on the phone with him but he was really nice and referred me to the right person when he realized my problem was outside the scope of what he does. read more
