Hole in copper pipe!
Rhonda C.

Much to my dismay, I discovered a geyser shooting water up from a pipe in the rear of my property that I'm trying to prepare to rent. It was rather late in the day on Saturday so I just turned the water off and decided to deal with the problem on Monday. So, on Monday, I did a drive-by to assess the situation and discovered another area where water was bubbling to the surface and resulted in quite a large muddy spot. Well now, my head just hurt. So I turned to Yelp to look up 'Plumbers' and started reading reviews and I noticed that Rapid Action Rooter had sooooo many positive comments. I sent a message through Yelp describing the problem and a few minutes later I received a reply from the owner. I called Mandel, the owner, and he said he could come out that afternoon. That was yesterday. Mandel and his assistant were waiting for me when I arrived, both dressed in uniform with company info on the shirt. After I showed him the problem areas he and partner got to work. Mandel discovered there was a hole--more of a slit, in the middle of this piece of copper pipe (buried about 3 feet underground )--so weird. Have NO idea how could've happened...or WHEN! Mandel explained the damaged portion of the pipe needed to be removed and replaced, welded back together. He was transparent about the price and method of payment--uses Zelle, which is super convenient! During our conversation, though, I mentioned some other jobs that needed to be completed in the home. Well, before I could say, "do you know anyone who does...?", Mandel was telling me about his drywall & paint guy, his flooring guy, his electrical guy. But more than merely tell me about the tradesmen, he actually called them before he left so that I could coordinate a day/time to meet with them AND Mandel told them that HE would text them my contact information. What??!! I felt an incredible sense of relief knowing that most, if not all, of the remaining projects in the house will be completed. And it's because I had the great fortune---blessing, actually, of meeting Mandel. I would select Mandel and Rapid Action Rooter Plumbing again and again!!! He's the best!!!

See all

Jose and his team are THE BEST! My kitchen sink was not draining and he was so quick to respond. An…read moreappointment was available the next morning and they had it fixed in less than an hour. He was even considerate of me rushing to work on time and they were kind enough to clean up after themselves. Overall, it was such a seamless experience. They were insightful, honest, and wanted to make sure the job was done properly without it affecting my neighbors building. I can't thank you enough Castaneda's Plumbing & Rooter!

03.05.2026 Thursday First Visit 03.06.2026 Friday 2nd Visit…read moreFix Made an emergency plumbing request. My shower would not drain. Called this Castanedas Plumbing Company. Jose answered and set me up with Rolando. Rolando came on Thursday. He discovered that the Drain Pipe going to the main line was completely clogged. This pipe was underneath the house at the crawlspace. He also discovered that shower was leaking from the top level to the crawlspace. He stated that the grout is cracked causing the water to seep in and out. He quoted me $1700 to fix everything. Meaning changing and replacing the clogged shower drain pipe to the main pipe. Regrouting the shower tiles. I agreed, set up the 2nd schedule for Friday 03.06.2026. Rolando took about 4 to 5 hours to fix everything. He was a young man with experience. Changed drain pipe and regrouted! I dont know much about piping. I am ignorant when it comes to pricing. It just had to get done. I had no time for 2nd quotes. Finger crossed I wasn't overcharged lol. Overall, I would call back for piping service. This is the 2nd time I called this company. First time was my kitchen sink that was clogged. The good thing is I have 90 days of warranty from the time of fix. I really dont know if I still have problems to call back the plumber. The only way to really find out is to crawl underneath the house. Overall, pleased with uncertainty. So far so good.

We had big problems. Our bathroom sink was completely clogged and not draining at all, and our…read morekitchen sink was still draining--but barely. A different plumber had come out to clear the bathroom sink and declared it unfixable. He said we needed to tear into the wall and replace the drain pipe at a cost of well over a thousand dollars. I decided to get a second opinion and called Hydro Jetting South Bay. I'm SO glad I did. Adrian and Grisel came to the rescue big time. In addition to being some of the nicest people you'd ever hope to meet, they're plumbing superstars. Adrian did absolutely everything possible to get that pipe cleared. At one point his snake got stuck deep in the pipe, but he managed to retrieve it. The pipe was so badly clogged that the blade on his auger wouldn't even fit, so he improvised a solution on the spot, modified his approach, and got it through. He simply would not give up. The end result? Our supposedly "unfixable" bathroom drain is now completely clear. So is our kitchen sink. And it cost us a fraction of the money, time, and hassle it would have taken to tear open the wall and replace the pipe as the first plumber recommended. Amazing work, Adrian! Adrian also noticed corrosion on the shut-off valves under our kitchen sink and offered to send us a bid to replace them--something we appreciated. Hydro Jetting South Bay is the real deal. Adrian and Grisel are stand-up people who put in the effort to solve the problem and do the job right. After this experience, they'll be my first call for any plumbing or drain problem from now on. Thank you, Adrian and Grisel!

Adrian explained exactly what went wrong and fixed it efficiently. They were highly professional, respectful of my home, and left the area spotless. It's a huge relief to have a reliable plumber in my contacts. His prices are reasonable. Highly, highly recommend! Adrian is my plumber from now on!!! Below are before and after pictures.
