    Old Clay main sewer

    Jordan ran the project and did a great job of communicating what was going to be done and why. The job was a full replacement of my sewer lines and vertical drain lines. Jorge's pricing was fair and his workers were on time and worked hard. I would recommend them to a friend.

    I had a serious plumbing issue and consulted with three different plumbers before calling Gary's…read moreRooter and Hydro Jetting. Each of the other plumbers recommended expensive solutions--breaking open the concrete and replacing the entire pipe or using epoxy lining methods--all at several thousands of dollars. Gary came in and solved the problem completely without any damage to my flooring. He cleared my pipes and took the time to show me on camera exactly how my system is set up, so I could see the issue and the solution firsthand. What really impressed me was his integrity. When I asked him to do additional work to prevent future issues, he could have run up the bill, but instead he told me straight: "No, you don't need anything else." That's the kind of trustworthy professional you want in your home. He also cleaned up thoroughly after himself--a stark contrast to another plumber I'd hired previously who snaked my bathroom and left an absolute mess behind. Highly recommended. Gary's Rooter and Hydro Jetting solved my problem affordably, professionally, and without the hard sell. Five stars.

From the start, the service was professional and smooth. The technician, Eric Sandoval, showed up on time, was very respectful, and immediately explained what the issue could be and what the process would look like. Eric was extremely knowledgeable and worked efficiently. He hydro jetted our main line thoroughly and made sure everything was cleared out and flowing properly before leaving. He also took the time to answer all of our questions and made sure we understood what was done, which I really appreciated. It's not easy finding honest and reliable service these days, but Eric and L.A. Hydro Jet definitely delivered. Great customer service, clean work, and very professional from beginning to end. If you need hydro jetting or have drainage issues, I highly recommend L.A. Hydro Jet... and definitely request Eric Sandoval!

After giving verbal approval, the plumber arrived and said the real cost was $550--more than double--blaming the rep for quoting incorrectly. When I called for clarification, the representative was rude and dismissive ("I don't have time for this") and transferred me multiple times, each person giving a higher price. It felt like a bait-and-switch, but I reluctantly agreed. After the visit, I was told the line was cleared--only to find out it wasn't. The company said they'd send someone back between 4:30-8:30pm. No one showed. When I called at 8:30, I was routed to a frustrating AI system despite their claim of 24/7 live agents. Someone finally came at 10pm, and I received multiple blocked calls from a representative upset that I wasn't there to let them in. Overall: misleading pricing, poor communication, and the issue wasn't even fixed.

    Looking for a plumber? Well, stop looking. I've done the research for you. Team Rooter is my…read morechoice. Look, if you need a plumber, it's usually not for a good reason. And it can be frustrating looking for a plumber you can trust. I needed a reliable company recently for two occasions. Team Rooter came through with flying colors. Once at my parents' house for a clogged bathtub (clog was found deeper underneath the house) Justin was very thorough. He searched all the plumbing connections including all the sinks in the house and even in the kitchen. He then suited up and crawled into the shallow crawl space under the house. Found the issue, resolved the matter, and all the awhile kept himself and the house clean! Then another trip was at my condo for a busted water heater. Kevin and Edwin went above and beyond. They made quick work of the situation. They even did some drywall work that was damaged from the leak. I happened to have some extra drywall at home, but they did all the work. Great guys to talk to as well. Both times, Team Rooter came at odd times in the day and made my headache go away. If you're looking for transparency, trust, reliable, professionalism, and competitive pricing, Team Rooter checks all the boxes. The three plumbers I had in my two occasions were amazing: Justin, Kevin, and Edwin are well spoken young men, well presented, and clean. Shook my hand, eye contact, and great personalities like true gentlemen. They gave me options and details before preforming the work. Ok what about the price? I'm not talking about some minimal budget handy work. And each situation is different. But in a tough situation like plumbing, I can't put a price on quality. Especially quality that helps mitigate future problems. Plus, an experience that you can have confidence in. Peace of mind. That's how I would price Team Rooter. Hats off to Team Rooter, their fleet, folks in the office, and management/ownership. Thanks for being there in tough times. I hope I don't need to call them again anytime soon, but you know I will when the time comes.

We had a sewer backup issue affecting the back unit/ADU while also dealing with separate toilet issues in the front house. Mick responded quickly, diagnosed both problems efficiently, and got everything resolved the same day. The front house issue turned out to be worn toilet flappers from normal wear and tear. The back unit issue was a main line grease buildup/clog that required drain clearing and camera inspection work. Mick also took the time to explain the likely long-term slope/drainage concern with the ADU connection in a very straightforward and practical way. One thing I still appreciate after all these years is that Mick communicates like an operator, not a salesman. He explains what is urgent, what is manageable, and what may become a future capital repair issue without trying to create panic or pressure. Fast response, direct communication, practical diagnostics, and strong long-term knowledge of older LA plumbing systems and rental properties. Still highly recommend Mick and Right Price Rooter & Plumbing.

We had a toilet bubbling and from that deduced it was a septic backup or main line block. We hadn't had our tank pumped in like 5 or 6 years so we figured we wanted to try that before other solutions. We called and got a quote for like $500 to pump it. No biggie. They set us up for pumping in like 2 days and sent someone out that day to see about the drain clearing thing (I already knew it wasn't that but they wanted to send someone that day- which is fine) the guy came, told us our septic tank was full and quoted us like $1700 to pump it. We were shocked and asked again "just to pump it?" and he doubled down that that's the price. So we told him we were quoted $500. So he calls his office and comes back and tells us "yeah it's $500". We found someone else. That sketched me out so much. The dishonesty is disgusting. He didn't know we had the quote by phone, pulled up to our house and decided to quote us higher. I don't know why. people like this are the reason I don't trust plumbers. EDIT: the owner messaged me and accused me of being fake because I wouldn't give him my address, so here's photo proof from my ring cam and the message he sent me.
