The start of the project.  Right drain completely falling apart due to galvanic corrosion.  Left drain slow.

Highly satisfied with the work! I've been helping my parents address several household maintenance issues including a non functioning garbage disposal and rusted out kitchen drain line. I was able to swap out the disposal on my own, but as I started to reconnect the drain line I knew I needed professional help. The house is over 50 years old and the drainage pipes were literally disintegrating to touch. The job required a firm that could handle expanded requirements should they emerge. I used Yelp to solicit bids from a number of firms servicing my area and after reading through reviews, confirming status of contractor license and bond, I selected SoCal Sewer & Water for the job. Response time to an RFQ on Yelp was fast as was scheduling for an in person review and estimate. Their field supervisor Sigi arrived within the agreed upon time frame and was efficient and professional with the work. He went above and beyond expectations, including relaying out the drain design, swapping out a rusted basin catch, snaking of lines, adjusting my work on the disposal and installing a plug on the unused line. Clean up was a snap. Debated the need to go into wall and replace some of the old cast iron connectors, but time and budget dictated that as sometime for the future. My parents are happy and that's absolutely golden. A note for other homeowners soliciting contractor services. Engaging SoCal Sewer & Water, like other professional and licensed partners, is not going to be cheap. Their estimate came in higher than some of their peers, but within what I considered acceptable for the duration that I expected the work to require. If you want bottom dollar work, engage a handyman. However, if you want work that follows industry best practices, is up to code, consider giving SoCal Sewer & Water an opportunity.

New replaced water heater
Franze T.

Had to replace a water heater leak. SoCal Sewer was pretty fast responding to a quote request and price wreasonable. They came on time, did their work fast, and cleaned up right after. Simple, professional, and easy to communicate with. I would use them again.

This is my text exchange with Will.

What a terrible, terrible experience with this company. Let me save you time, expense and trouble -- HIRE SOMEONE ELSE. Hire ANYONE else. We had a leak in our kitchen roof on a Sunday evening (of course!) and I called Will at SoCal Sewer Construction. Very pleasant guy. Showed up two hours later, right when he said he would. He was unable to locate the cause of the leak and proceeded to spend the next three hours putting six holes in the drywall in my ceiling trying to source the problem without luck. It wasn't until my wife clued him in to the bathtub handset that the problem was solved with a fifty-cent washer. Obviously a bummer, and perhaps a more thoughtful and considered plumbing approach would've kept us from having to spend many hundreds more dollars to repair Will's "work" -- which cost us a handsome $390, in case anyone was curious how much you need to pay someone to cut holes in your ceiling and then leave. We invited Will back to replace two kitchen faucets we have that were past their use. He cancelled our first appointment at the last minute. Then tried to send someone else in his stead. And when he finally arrived to do the work, after it was complete he DOUBLED the quoted price, claiming that the $175 labor price was PER faucet -- which is not what he said to me on the day I asked him about it. He kindly offered to knock $50 off of the total price. Which I accepted begrudgingly. But wait! There's more! And this is where the experience goes even further south than I thought possible. Will leaves and less than an hour later one of the faucets he installed starts making a hideous high-pitched whining sound whenever it's turned on. I take a video, send it to Will and then call him. He gives me a few troubleshooting tips -- none work. Then he says he's happy to come back and maybe turn down the water pressure for the entire house in attempt to fix the issue, but it'll cost me an ADDITIONAL $125 for a "service call". I'm not kidding. He installed the faucet and clearly didn't check it properly, then left and told me it would cost me $125 MORE for him to return. This is on top of everything else! I guess it's partly my fault for trusting someone who told me off the bat that his company doesn't use/trust Yelp because you have to "pay them for reviews" -- and then hiring to come back AFTER he damaged our kitchen ceiling without finding the source of the trouble (until my wife did). When I expressed my frustration to Will, he wrote me back: I'm sorry you feel that way. And it was only after I informed him that I was planning to share this experience on Yelp and Google that he offered to refund half the faucet installation fee. Of course, for me, it wasn't about the money anymore. I just wanted to make sure to share this experience with other folks out there with limited plumbing knowledge so they don't put their trust in Will or his company, So Cal Sewer Construction. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN OR HIS COMPANY.

My tenant had a toilet plumbing issue right before the long 4th of July weekend. Our usual plumber…read morewas already busy with a job and couldn't guarantee seeing it that day, so I reached out to the Plumbing Squad, who quoted me the same price for a wax seal replacement, plus availability on July 3rd afternoon. Xavier ended up going a bit earlier than the estimated time, and spent his whole afternoon diagnosing a deeper issue with the toilet. Throughout the process, he's called me privately and discreetly to provide updates, and I was thoroughly impressed with his professionalism. Xavier was able to finally resolve the plumbing issue after hours working past the initial diagnosis, and included some additional services with the price I paid. The invoices came after the long weekend and I was able to get a discrepancy corrected immediately by the admin team. Overall, I'm happy I found another plumbing company to rely on. Shout out to Xavier!

Sorry, but one should always double-check any contractor on the CA Contractors Licensing Bd…read more website (cslb.ca.gov) before hiring them. Thought about hiring "Plumbing Squad" but here's the State's position (ie, they were at least lazy, out of business, or too stoned to care about their license): "License is under suspension for the following reasons: License is under Contractors Bond Suspension. A contractor's bond may have been received by the Board but not yet processed. Once the bond is processed the suspension will be lifted retroactively to the effective date of the bond. Ask the contractor for proof of a contractor's bond and contact the bonding company to verify bond status." So I guess I'm not gonna hire them... but I'm guessing they'll present a defense. :-)

Jordan was on-site within 30 minutes of my initial call and had an offer to us quickly after evaluating the job. Beyond being efficient, he was just a great guy -- he took the time to bond with our golden retriever while he walked the site, which says a lot about someone. Aaron and Charlie handled the installation and were fantastic. They showed up on time, were professional throughout, and even cleaned up the old enclosure before installing the new unit. When they left, the whole area looked better than before they arrived. It's great to support a local Long Beach business that can move quickly, price fairly, and still accommodate what we needed. Highly recommend Primo for anyone dealing with a water heater issue -- responsive, honest, and quality work all around.

Aaron was professional, quick, efficient, and most importantly, honest. There was absolutely no pressure or trying to upsell us. He explained exactly what happened, showed us the actual parts causing the problem, and made sure we understood everything. The job isn't completely finished yet because we're waiting on a part, but Aaron was very upfront about the timing and set realistic expectations in case the part arrives late. Most importantly, he took care of our main issue right away, which was such a relief! Great service, great communication, and genuinely kind people. I'm very glad I called Primo Plumbing and would highly recommend them!

From the initial phone call with Jeanette, to the technician coming out (same day!) the customer service has been top notch. Oscar answered all my questions about the issue with the AC unit and what was broken and options for repair. Knowing that the coming week had a heat wave in the forecast I was hopeful that the fix could happen quickly. Not even 3 days later they called to schedule a repair for end of week. They also provided an arrival time and showed up early! Freddy C and Renee came out and worked diligently to install a new AC and went the extra mile to trim some shrubs to make enough space for the outside unit. They were polite and considerate as I was working from home during the install. Later that day after they left I had to call to ask someone to come back because I was experiencing an issue with the auto shut off and Albert (? sorry if I got that wrong) answered and scheduled time for someone to come the next day. Not even 10 minutes later I got a call back from Albert and he said someone would be there in 30 minutes to take a look. Oscar came back and was able to fix the issue quickly. He was once again extremely professional and took the time to explain to me the issue and what he did to fix it. These guys work super hard and provided A+ service. I highly recommend.
