Awareness to put on shoe covering entering my house. Using protective padding to protect floor. 5. Working efficiently, demonstrating expertise and knowledge. 6. Friendly dialogue to answer questions during the installation. 6. Clean up afterwards. Leaving the area as clean as when entered. 7. Install time unreal- perfect install in 20 min tops as Jose Jr and Sr double teamed together 8, Lastly (what my wife noticed after seeing her new toilet)... prefect grout line for sealant for Toilet to floor. The entire experience was absolutely perfect and i cant thank Jose and his father enough. Really appreciated their friendliness and professional way of doing business. Absolutely wonderful experience. I will definitely use Jose M pPumbing in future. 5 Star company!

Fast forward to present day, we had leak with one of our pipes. Oscar was able to come immediately to diagnose the issue and got his crew here the next day to get the issue resolved. Oscar did in fact give me the credit we had discussed over a year ago which I appreciated.

Unlike the others, he didn't just shrug his shoulders or tell me the problem couldn't be solved. He took the time to investigate and was genuinely committed to figuring it out. Our first visit lasted about two hours, and what immediately stood out was that Patrick had a clear plan. He methodically worked through the problem, explained what he was doing, and gave me confidence that we were finally making progress. When the actual work began, he kept me informed every step of the way, explaining each new discovery and outlining the path forward. That level of communication and professionalism made the entire experience stress-free. Patrick's persistence, expertise, and willingness to tackle a difficult problem made all the difference. I can't recommend him highly enough. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about finding a solution instead of giving up when things get complicated, Patrick is the person to call.

Robert sent Fernando to my house to in s pect what all was needed prior to our scheduled date of installment,which saved time the day of the installation. The plumbing supply store was closed on Friday, the day before July 4th so that day was not wasted because Fernando did a thorough inspection. The team arrived exactly on time. They quietly finished exactly on time so I did not have to rearrange my schedule. They patiently explained all the workings and gadgets before they thoroughly cleaned everything up and left. Being a senior citizen I appreciate their style of efficiency, honesty and, equally important, THERE WAS NO CATASTRAPHYZING from anyone or att e mats to talk me into unnecessary work. THIS IS MY GO TO PLUMBING COMPANY.

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%!

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.

I was stressing out about our malfunctioning tankless water heater. I didn't know who to call, or who was familiar with tankless heaters. My sister mentioned Topgun Plumbing, who she had used in the past, and was very satisfied with the service. I contacted them, to ask if they work on tankless units, and scheduled a time for an estimate. Oscar came on time and gave me an estimate on flushing unit, and repairing a small leak. His price was very reasonable, and he explained the whole process. He was very professional, and cleaned up before he left. We haven't had any issues with it since. If ever I have another plumbing problem, I am definitely contacting Topgun Plumbing! read more

I have been living in my home in Whittier for several years. When I moved in I knew that I had to have a lot of plumbing that would eventually need to be upgraded. I put it off for a long time until I met Oscar. Oscar has done a lot of work on my home ranging from a simple drain clogs to replacing my sewer line. He is great at explaining everything that needs to be done and gives me all the options with the best prices possible. I have always been skeptical of plumbers trying to squeeze every cent they can out of me, but Oscar is very trustworthy and does quality work. If you're looking for a great plumber, you've found him. read more

I called Rooter & Plumbing Masters for an emergency situation in which we were not able to…read moresuccessfully change the hot and cold water valves for connecting our new washing machine, but we were also not able to turn the water back on without causing leaks. Within an hour of calling, Marvin came to take care of the problem. He was very professional and called me within 25 minutes of arrival time so I could be ready. He worked efficiently, and when the problem was fixed, I felt relieved. Something that I especially appreciated about Marvin was that he was able to explain the pros and cons to a metal part that came with the replacement valves, recommending us an alternative plastic version of the part so that it wouldn't cause electrolysis over time and damage the copper pipes. I felt like he was watching out for us by explaining possible scenarios or deterioration and sharing his specialist knowledge. I thought that the cost was very reasonable, considering that this had been a last-minute call, so I would recommend them to anyone in the Montebello area who is dealing with a plumbing emergency.

Some nice things about this place is that they have someone answering phones and seems like they have multiple technicians so if you need someone in a hurry, maybe they are worth a shot. I believe my technicians name was Mark. He spent about an hour and seemingly fixed the problem. We then used the bathtub and then it was leaking once again. Some scheduling conflicts happened and they weren't able to get anyone out to my place as quickly but mark did eventually return, just much later same day. He then indicated he had to go get a part and wouldn't be able to do that until the next morning at least. Next morning he came and spent some more time and was able to maybe fix it so the leak was less but still present. Told me that was the best he could do. My usual plumber was available the following day. He came, fixed it in about 45 mins and for a fraction of the price. In the end my usual plumber said that this guy used a wrong size part and left a screw loose (potentially why it was still leaking). So overall not really happy with this company and the technician they sent out.

They didn't have a camera so want able to source the issue. With that created a project on yelp and Yellow Bee Plumbing was by the first one to contact me. They might not have the most reviews (yet) but they were prompt, had professional equipment, and fair pricing from what I've compared. Showed up the next day in the morning, performed a snake and camera inspection and we found the problem. An old drain snake tool was buried in sludge on the drain pipe wall and needed more than a drain snake. Proposed the descaling and hydrojet to clear the stuck part and got it scheduled to come out later the same day. They came from across LA County during rush hour so they are awesome! After performing the descaling and hydrojet, it cleared the broken tool and it's been over a week now and not a single clog. Was getting tired of the sewer smell. There is more work to be done just due to the condition and age of the drain pipe which they provided pricing for. Would recommend for future plumbing work.
