As a first-time homeowner, having a plumber you trust makes all the difference, and Juan (founder) at Padilla Plumbing has been that person for me. He is incredibly knowledgeable, fair, and always willing to take the time to explain what's going on and what the options are. What I appreciate most is that he never rushes or pushes unnecessary work. He gives honest advice, walks through the situation clearly, and makes sure you understand what actually needs to be done. That level of transparency and integrity is rare. He has been consistently reliable and generous with his time whenever I've needed guidance, and it has made navigating home repairs much less stressful. I feel very lucky to have found someone so trustworthy. Highly recommend. read more

Excellent prompt service with reasonable charge for major unclogging issue. Staff were neat, polite and thorough

I had a another leak in my condo and they promptly repaired it. Quick and easy scheduling, and great service! It was a pinhole leak from copper pipe. They were able to diagnose very quickly without a 2nd appointment which is sometimes the case with condos. Price was very good too! Big props! read more

Padilla Plumbing - Found the leak on the copper pipe - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Padilla Plumbing has been coming to our rescue for the last 40 years. Our house was built in 1940 and has had a lot of plumbing problems. Padilla has fixed too many leaks to count, replaced at least 5 water heaters, pumped out our flooded basement twice, installed a sump pump, got our furnaces running when they quit, replaced our iron pipes with copper and done dozens of other jobs. Yesterday, the kitchen sink and garbage disposal were clogged; we called at 8 a.m. and they came before 9 and solved the problems quickly. As always, fast, expert service at a fair price. Thanks, Eric. read more

This plumber is a FRAUD and a THIEF!!! BEWARE. He will bill you incorrectly and if you keep telling him it was billed incorrectly he will deny! He came to fix my sink and billed me for a toilet issue. I paid the stupid bill anyways and he then he sent my bill to collections. He is a freak and weirdo plumber. Stay away. read more

Did work on my kitchen sink two years ago. Sent me a bill in the mail for the work he did, including work he's claiming he did on my toilet (he did absolutely zero work on any toilets in my home). As soon as I received the bill, I let him know the bill is wrong. He says he "personally remembers" changing my toilets. Impossible as I installed brand new toilets when I bought and moved into my house... nobody has touched them since. Two years later and he's still harassing me for money I don't owe him for work he never did. I would stay aware from them - they are shady. read more

We had a huge leak in our pipe and needed it to be replaced. It was going all the way to the second floor. Padilla Plumbing was able to come out and fix it in a timely manner and also with quality work. The owner was very friendly and helpful. 10/10 value for the job they did. read more

I've used Padilla Plumbing for a variety of plumbing challenges (water heater on demand install, rerouting water lines, installing a new main water shut off, as well as something as "simple" as a leak) over the past few years. I have always found the team to be responsive, professional, and very reasonably priced. In particular, this past Sunday, I had a leaking shower unit. At first, I attempted to resolve this on my own by replacing the tub spout which did nothing. After watching some "How To" videos online, I then explore replacing the shower faucet cartridge. After changing the cartridge, when I turned on the water, it was worse! I called Padilla Plumbing at 5pm on a Sunday holiday weekend, and Eric called me back within 15 minutes. He walked me through the challenges, asked for some pictures via text, was very patient and kind, and within 15 minutes, the issue was fully resolved with his guidance. What was more surprising was that Padilla didn't suggest to send out a technician or charge me unnecessary fees! This is a truly great company with a team of professionals that are down-to-Earth, kind, not price-gauging, and a family run business with skill and class. I would recommend them without reservation to anyone needing the services of a truly professional team. Thanks again Padilla! read more

Fantastic plumbers who show up and take care of business, from minor leaks to main like stoppage. Always friendly and manage to work me into the schedule. Nobody likes plumbing problems, so these are the people I trust for my personal and rental properties for no BS get it fixed service. Maybe not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Last time they needed to use the hydro jet on super gnarly roots in the main line from a huge tree which was insanely effective. Highly recommend! read more

No clear idea of what is wrong. Totally wrong in his understanding of how the pump on the water heater worked.Was not able to even reconnect what he took out and charged a huge amount for " his time " Very unethical read more

Called and got a confirmation very quickly. Juan was friendly, courteous and unblocked a backed up drainage pipe from our kitchen sink. Price was very fair for our market (Culver City). Recommended. read more

Called to have something checked at my home. When i called they never told me they would charge me $150 for just coming out to see what was going on. At the end of the day the man didn't do anything because it just could not be fixed. He told us that just for coming they would charge us $150 when he didn't do a thing but to look at the place. We told him that that was absurd to charge that much when he didn't do any fixtures and he said the person who answered didn't explain and we told him no. If we would had known it was this price just to have it checked we would not had told her to send someone out here. They literally ripped us off. At the end we were charged $100 dollars for just having something checked. Never again will we be contacting them. Don't even bother on calling if you don't want to pay $100-$150 so they come and check they miscommunicate and rip you off. read more

Our main water line pipe broke. We had to hurry and turn our water off. Called Padilla plumbing and they took care of the problem quick and easy. We were so relieved, hassle free ! We intend to use them for more things at our house very soon. I would recommend 100% read more

I just worked with Eric from Padilla Plumbing. He was responsive, on time, and did all the work we needed quickly and professionally. I was very grateful to get in touch through Yelp. I highly recommend! read more

This company came recommended through a Facebook Group I am a part of and I had an emergency at my rental property. It was great that they were able to get someone to come out on short notice and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the plumber broke the angel stop. The thing I am most annoyed about is that this happened in December. I sent several messages to pay the invoice (that I never received). I wanted to pay it and include it as a deduction on my taxes. No reply after multiple outreaches. I assumed they felt bad about the broken angel stop so I dropped it. Guess who called looking for me to pay the invoice today. Yep. I suspect it is because I sent out a call for plumbers using the Yelp app because I have another issue at the rental property. Guess who I didnt call for this project. read more

Juan came out the same afternoon we called. He was amazing! Not only did he snake our drains, but got our garbage disposal working again. Definitely recommend using them for your plumbing needs! read more

One of our showers would not turn off...this happened at 6am, and I was only able to turn off the water heater, not the water flow. I called Padilla Plumbing and they had a plumber at our doorstep within 20 minutes. Wonderful service from Eric, the dispatcher. Problem fixed within 15 minutes. These guys are great! read more

Had toilet problems over weekend but Padilla's Plumbing week day pricing much better than others contacted. Padilla Plumbing called to see if appmnt still on for 9:30 AM. Padilla Plumbing fixed the toilet overflowing problem using brand name parts their plumbers carry on their trucks. Since my plumber retired..... needed to look for a replacement during this crisis.....think I found it with Padilla Plumbing. read more

I had Padilla Plumbing out to fix a leaky faucet in my bathtub. They charge a minimum 1 hour $125 charge plus parts. They replaced the cartridge. Within 3 months it was leaking again. When I called I was told that they only warranty their parts and labor for 30 days. They said that it was probably the valve in the wall and that would be $750 to fix. I called other plumbers and found out that most give a 1 year warranty on parts and labor. They also said it could be a bad cartridge or some debris in it. I had another plumber replace the cartridge for $45 plus parts. That took care of the problem. The old cartridge had a broken O ring. I'll never call Padilla Plumbing again. read more

Very reliable, honest & professional. Juan, was fantastic to work with. Would highly recommend this company!!!

These guys are professionals. Great communication and schedules fast. Shoutout to Juan who knows his stuff and teaches you how to look at and fix the problem. Would recommend 5/5. read more

They responded promptly and showed up when they said they would and fixed the problem! One minor snag was they did more for the tenant than we even knew was a problem and we were not contacted to approve additional work. But all in all a very positive experience and we will use them again! read more

Juan came out for an after hours repair of a leaking gas valve within ten minutes, yes *ten minutes*, and was able to quickly diagnose and fix the problem with a valve he happened to already have on the truck with him, saving another trip. I found him to be knowledgeable, friendly and very easy to work with and gave a fair price for an after hours emergency repair. Highly recommend Padilla Plumbing!! read more

Initially, Eric and his team were quick to respond. However, my plumbing issue needs something that's currently back ordered. Eric told me it'll take 6-8 weeks for the item to arrive and he ASSURED me that he'll update me. 2 months later, no updates from Eric and his team. They wouldn't even answer my text messages or return my calls (let alone answer them). I understand if they're busy or if they can't get them done - just let me know so. I don't usually leave reviews, but I feel like this is so unreliable and simply unprofessional. read more

Eric is just brilliant. He fixed a problem with our main sewer line that previously five different plumbers (some very experienced) could not catch. I was getting frantic calls from my tenants every month that all the sinks and bathtubs were backing up. Every plumber I called (some in an emergency) would tell me it was a routing clog and that the tenants are using too much paper or using the wrong kind of paper or flushing things they are not supposed to. I had got Eric's number from a recommendation on Nextdoor. When I called him and explained this issue, he offered to come by and take a look for free. He wanted to take it upon as challenge. Incidentally, the main sewer back up issue happened shortly thereafter again. The tenants sent me a video message at 2 am in the morning showing how the whole bedroom was flooded. I called Eric at 7 am and he personally got to the house by 9 am and unclogged the main. He then went back and got his video camera to take a look as he had promised. His diagnosis was that there was a small opening in the main line that was letting roots in. The opening was in a joint where the main line dipped slightly. I was surprised as two different plumbers had sent a camera down before and they assured us that the pipes were fine and there was nothing to fix. He quoted a very reasonable amount for fixing the issue, that included the cost of clearing the clog earlier in the day and running a camera through. Its been 3 months now and I can truly say the problem has been fixed. Tenants are happy and I can sleep better at night. Padilla plumbing are not only skilled, but they are trustworthy and they take initiative. I am recommending them to everyone who asks and they will definitely have my business for life. read more

Padilla Plumbing is the best. I would recommend 100%. The work was done on time. Erick's crew is top notch, fast, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. They really care. I've lived in Venice all my life and it's great to have a local service that knows what they're doing. read more

I'm a very active real estate agent... I scheduled a sewer inspection with Padilla for a client for a Friday at 9:30AM. Sat around waiting; the inspector never showed up. I called the inspector at 10:30 and he gave me a bogus excuse for not coming. Business 101: 90% of success is just showing up. You're supposed to be a professional. If you make an appointment, keep it. If you can't make it, at the very least call and cancel or reschedule the appointment....Don't waste my time. Don't embarrass yourself. Don't p*ss off my clients. Totally amateur. Lost my personal business and recommendation to clients for life. read more

Wish there were 10 stars for this plumber! We had an issue with a shower that didn't have very much pressure. Another plumber told us the cartridge needed to be changed due to a possible obstruction and gave us a quote of $280. That plumber never even pulled apart the faucet or did an inspection other than turning the water on. The quote seemed really high and we felt like we were getting gouged so we called Padilla Plumbing. Eric from Padilla came to the house and inspected the situation, took apart the faucet, and discovered that the valves weren't completely open. Problem solved! A simple fix that only cost us $100! Going forward, we now have a new plumber that is thorough and acts with integrity! I very highly recommend Padilla Plumbing and will refer them without any reservation to anyone who needs a great plumber! read more

Called this company on Monday he asked me when the soonest I needed him out I said the next day he was scheduled to be here at 9:30 he got here at 9:15 had to go to the store to get a part after he seen what needed to be done he was in and out within an hour excellent service read more

We used them a few times. We will probably not be calling them anymore. They don't answer their phones and they are extremely inconsistent with returning calls. i guess 'i'll call back later' means NOT calling back. i guess leaving a message means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to them. Thank goodness it wasn't an emergency! There are other plumbers that are more accommodating and professional. Other plumbers are similar in pricing, but also treat their customers as if the customer is important. Padilla plumbing seems to have forgotten this. Maybe they don't need the business. As your first choice, call a plumber that will try their best to PICK UP THE PHONE, RESPOND AND SHOW UP. Try Mattucci or Cornett instead. read more

I just got a house in Mid-City and have had some plumbing issues since the day we moved in. However, all of them were manageable until we found sewage backing up into the beautiful, new jacuzzi tub in our front bathroom. 12pm - I look up local plumbers on Yelp and find Padilla, located a few blocks down the street. I had seen their sign driving by a number of times, and given the 5 star rating, decided to give them a call. The nice lady on the phone says one of the plumbers will call me back. 12:30pm - I get a call from Eric, who asks me to describe my plumbing issues. He says he'll come over as soon as he can this afternoon. 2:45pm - Eric calls and is on his way. He arrives 15 minutes later. 3:40pm - After some rootering, my problem is solved. And the price was great. I will be asking Padilla to come back for all of my other repairs! read more

Padilla plumbing is the best plumbing company I have ever dealt with. Eric and his team have done multiple jobs on the temperamental old house where I work. They are courteous, tidy, on time, thorough and their prices are more than reasonable. We had to call them once for an after-hours emergency and they fixed the problem quickly and we were surprised by how inexpensive the bill ended up being! The team is really knowledgeable when it comes to older homes with fussy plumbing, I know I can trust them to do what needs to be done and they never try to upsell or tack on extra jobs that aren't necessary. If you need a new plumber, call Padilla and you will find a plumber for life. read more

I don't know what these people are talking about when they say they had an emergency fixed with these guys, maybe they're family and friends of the company owners or something, because we've had the exact opposite experience. We have a house full of relatives in town for my sons birthday, and the guest bathroom toilet started backing up all of the water into the bathtub. Called these guys last night, talked to someone who said they'd call us back. After an hour of waiting we called them back, and played phone tag for awhile before we agreed that someone would have to come out "first thing in the morning (which, for some reason they believe 9am is "first thing"). It's now 10:20 am, nobody showed up, nobody called, and they aren't answering the phone number provided here or returning messages. I'd keep on going if you're looking for a plumber to actually show up and help you fix your problem. read more

I cannot recommend them enough! Juan arrived and magic happened. He came with a truck full of supplies and tools. First, he replaced our kitchen faucet. Very swift. Second, he moved on to remounting our toilet. While doing that, he explained to me what was wrong and what was happening as he went along. He noticed a few things wrong in the back of the tank and fixed them as well. Third, I had him take a look at our furnace because it wasn't working. He identified the problem and said he would be able to repair it if we wanted him to but would have to come back with the supplies. Forth, there was an outdoor pipe that was giving us trouble that he fixed in a matter of minutes. He was friendly, efficient, and professional. He also cleaned up after himself as he went along and when he left, you would never know he had been here except for the repairs he had done. No messy floors and such. The price was very fair and we will definitely be calling him out here again if we need him. Thank you, Juan! read more

I needed some work done at the house so I decided to check Yelp for plumbers. I read the reviews for Padilla Plumbing and they were great. They came out and the work was A+, the customer service was just as good. Yelp came through for me. I will not use anyone else. Thanks Padilla Plumbing!!! read more

Honest and willing to go the extra mile for their customers. Highly recommended! Thank you. read more

I contacted Eric to help install two toilets. Very fast response, great service, very fair price. Would use again.

Thanks to Yelp I found Padilla Plumbing. My wife and I needed to repipe our house and add a bathroom. Juan came out and took notes on what we wanted to do. He got back to us later that day with the estimate. It wasn't the lowest, but it was complete. I felt better because he didn't give me an estimate off the cuff. His crew were excellent. They were on time, clean, and hard working. Juan checked in through out the process and talked me through the inspection. I am so happy that I hired this company. read more

This is the second time I've called Padilla Plumbing with an emergency (different types: clogged drain; hot water heater issue) and they have responded immediately with excellent and fairly-priced service. A good number to keep handy! read more

Efficient and friendly service! I was in need of hot water because the pilot on my water heater was off. So I called and half hour later Eric was here and took care of it right away! And my dog loved him! Thank you again! read more
