hired this company for an emergency sewer repair after my basement flooded. We initially agreed on a $4,500 sewer line replacement. When additional work was discovered--breaking concrete and repairing another three feet of pipe--I was verbally quoted a total of $6,500, which I agreed to. I was never informed or consulted about charges totaling $10,000, which is what I was ultimately invoiced. The foreman pressured me to sign the contract without fully explaining it, and I felt taken advantage of given my age and understanding. There were also concerns about missing copper piping from my basement after the job was completed. The lack of clear communication, unexpected billing, and unresolved issues made this a very frustrating experience. read more

Some of our older piping required replacement. Edwin got us back in working order, but we needed additional work to maintain good long term service. In the end, we are.back to full service and believe we will be good to go for sometime. read more

Recently had Vik replace the kitchen sink pressure/on-off valves. Made a scheduled appointment and he arrived on time. Vik continues to provide knowledgeable, excellent service at a good price. Used Yelp app to get several other quotes and know that American Reliable Services will give a fair price for the work that needs to be done. read more

American Reliable Services - needed to replace these valves - Plumbing Near Me - Los Angeles, California

So many red flags and concerns. Definitely dont call them if youre unfamiliar with how leak or plumbing repairs work or of its an emergency. My experience tells me it may be something they try to use to to their advantage. They showed up to give a free estimate to repair a small leak in the front yard that we had detected via sonar. That's how small it is. There are 2 possibilities of where the leak is. Either its the sprinkler line or small leak in the main water line, both of which are next to eachother by 2 feet and both I had marked for them to reference.. The plumber says "ok, let me go get my shovel and take a look", implying that he was just going to do a quick little look at the sprinkler to determine if it was possibly coming from there. I said Great, thanks! Before people start coming back with "you wanted him to dig for free", let me tell you thats not what happened. I wasn't expecting him to break a sweat, just 2 or 3 shovel turns to flip the grass up and look at the sprinkler (approx 12 inches down) is what he implied he was doing. Another company had done the same as part of a free estimate when we thought the leak was in a different area and before the sonar detection, so I assumed it was part of the visit. He comes back from the truck with the shovel and says " ok so, just so you know it will be $650 just to start". I was completely taken aback because we hadn't discussed anything else at all. I asked what the $650 price included and he said its to dig in one spot where the sprinkler is (not even 2 x 2) and it "may or may not be the price of the repair. That it goes up from there once he determines the issue". I told him that typically people give an estimate for what to expect before the work starts, not guess as they go. Such as if the the leak was the sprinkler vs. the main water line, if it was a repar or a replacement, possible area expansion, etc. Not throw out a price and it will keep going up as we go! I assumed that him getting the shovel to look at the sprinkler would have given us both the clarification as to how to proceed with pricing, as most companies do. We have other estimates from companies that gave us a transparent price breakdown of the 3 different scenarios with the most extreme work coming in at the mid 4 digits and the least of the work coming in right around what he quoted me just to dig. I asked a few more questions to see if I could try to ascertain what his intentions were and what the ballpark prices would be repair vs replace etc, I got vague, unclear and indeterminate answers so thats when I said " No. You can go. Im not doing that, you can leave". Whats also important to note is that I had interacted with this company via Yelp the week before when I had started a "project" to find a leak detection service. Yelp sent my request to 5 different plumbers and American Reliable was one of them. They responded that they can send someone out with a price higher than another quote from a specialty service provider. The thing is though, is that in my request I specifically noted and made a point to say that we were requesting leak detection with SONAR because we already tried imaging. I hade to message back and forth with them just to get clarification they offered this service. After a few back and forths they finally came back with no. They dont offer sonar which was the whole point! Had I let them come I assume they would have gotten here and done whatever it is they do without mentioning sonar and charge the me several hundred dollars for it. So either they didnt read my request which tells me they don't pay attention to detail or they ignored it hoping Id not catch the fact they don't offer sonar until it was too late and after I paid. Either way, it wasn't ok. Even after the miscommunication with the sonar service I still tried to give them the benefit of the doubt and come out for an estimate to repair. ALWAYS ASK AND VERIFY PEOPLE and TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. Lastly, when corresponding with the office they gave me a 12pm - 2pm window. I asked them to let me know when they were on their way because I needed to make sure someone was home. Not only did they not alert me like most companies do regardlessof the type of contractor Im hiring, they came 1 hour early. Thankfully I was home. Normally I'd be quite pleased if a contractor came early but they need to make sure someone is home before doing that because most people arent just sitting around all day. They had all of my contact info. Poor communication. Poor transparency. Poor service. There are 1000's of companies to choose from so dont let your initial impression of them be mistaken for being transparent. Fast message replies do not guarantee honest service. read more

both central and mini split systems they installed have either had to be completely redone or replaced entirely after less than 5-7 years of basic use. also a great way to learn how much more they were charging than competitors. avoid at all costs. ignore my original review. read more

Project: drain pipe replacement. The price was $2000.00, which is average for this job. Cast iron pipe was replaced by plastic pipe. Construction of new pipe is very different from original considering the slope angle. Not pleased at all. Manager was promising to resolve the issue and speak to the boss for several 2 weeks, did not call me back. Attached photos of old pipe and new one. See next door neighbor's pipe position to. read more

I had a plumber come to check out the plumbing issue I had, but eventually it was not able to be fixed so they came later in the afternoon upon ensuring me the service will be completed. The guarantee they gave me provided assurance and trust and when David and Alex came over, they analyzed the issue and quickly resolved it. The only downside of the service I feel was pricing where I feel it was a bit pricy as it was well over my budget, but I had no choice but to fix this matter. The customer service was excellent, and the plumbers were very knowledgeable and pleasant as well as professional. read more

I called them out for a second opinion they are honest, transparent, and reputable plumbers. With reasonable pricing. However, I decided to go a different route. I found a company that was a little bit less expensive. read more

Prompt. Took care of a problem that was caused by previous plumbers terrible and unsafe installation.

George from American Reliable Services was a life saver! My AC was went out on the hottest day of the year and the company was able to send George as his last call of the day, after when most repair services would be closed. He quickly identified the problem, sourced the part and would not leave until the job was complete and our AC was restored! Price was fair considering the last minute nature of the job. I would absolutely use George and the company again! They are thoughtful, courteous and confident in their work. 5 stars! read more

George was great. Knew exactly what needed to be fixed and had the replacement piece ready. Got the job done quickly and effectively in a kind and professional manner. read more

They sent a "technician" for an estimate, the guy was jumping from place to place and twitching. Asking the same thing over and over. When I explicitly told him not to touch my shut off valve, he broke it and told me it was his job. How can a company employ such people? Nuts! UPDATE: since I have no way to respond to the "response", I'll just put it here. The technician came out and damaged my property, but instead of taking responsibility, the company says it's all normal "we stand with our twitchers". It is very appropriate to use this platform to warn people of what you are all about and who you employ. This is what this platform was created for. read more

First thing, these guys are very professional. Edwin and Harold are very quick and knowledgeable. I compared (ARS) them to a few major plumbing companies and their prices are very fair and reasonable. Don't go anywhere else coz the other places are very expensive. They snaked the drain and unclogged the pipes. David the field Supervisor even came the next day to use their camera to inspect the drains since they did not have it the first day, and it's complimentary. read more

We hired ARS to help us put in an air gap for our dishwasher and connect a waterline to the fridge for ice. I won't go into too much but the techs damaged something. They brought it to my attention upon completion but I knew my partner wasn't going to be happy about it. They also didn't clean up the debris from the work. Here's why I'm giving 4 stars. While the techs' work left something to be desired, once my partner brought the issue to the company's attention they agreed the work wasn't up to their standards. They were extremely proactive at rectifying it in a timely manner. Gotta give credit where credits due. Everyone has off days. It says alot about ARS' integrity. read more

I feel really lucky to have found American Reliable Services when I did. I was in the middle of moving into a new place and had an unpleasant surprise of finding out my laundry valves and main water shut off valves not working. I also had a time crunch because I had an upcoming delivery of a laundry unit and needed to make sure my plumbing was squared away so the laundry unit could be installed. After receiving numerous quotes, American Reliable Services was the only one who came out the day I called (on a Saturday!) and was able to make the repairs in my timeline. I've had the pleasure of having Vic and Aren and they will be my go-to plumbers moving forward. They are always reliable and carry out their repairs professionally. What I like is that they are willing to explain to me what needs to be done and explain what they're doing during the repair. They're not condescending, and you know that take pride in their work and make sure their client is satisfied. They've gained my trust and I will always call this company, especially Vic, whenever I need repairs or advice when it comes to plumbing. I also called them recently because when you move into a new place, you'll find more and more things to fix. I asked Sarah the dispatch if they could request Vic and Aren to come out and they did. I had them fix a leaky shower faucet and inspect a possible leak in a different bathroom that created some moisture in our patio ceiling. And just like the previous repairs, they were excellent. There are lots of plumbers in LA. If you're like me, you may fall into analysis paralysis trying to find out who to go with. I implore you that while you're doing your due diligence to include American Reliable Services. read more

George, was all over it! Pulled the old broken Disposal and installed the new one. I didn't even have to tell him what to do. lol! Seriously, George was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. Thank you for the nice job! read more

Very responsive and professional. They reached out to schedule right away, the plumber Jorge arrived on time and was very communicative. Jorge was excellent and diagnosed my problem immediately. My toilet had to be replaced, and since I only have one bathroom, it had to be done right away. Jorge worked late to make sure the job was done right and for a reasonable price, even though it was after hours, Highly professional, recommend. read more

5 minute job to replace tub drain cost $375. Company thankfully brought it down from $450 after I complained. They had the photo and description of the exact problem as well as my exact address, but the plumber tells me he has to charge for his travel time. (He had to go to the hardware store as he was unprepared for the job - despite me writing it up in Yelp). This company may be a lead-gen machine farming out leads to local plumbers. read more

First a non English speaking person came to do the work. We could not communicate properly. Then the work was sloppy and incomplete. They put holes through the wall. They left a mess of drywall inside and outside my door and did not clean it up. A different person came back to fix the shoddy work but it was still not complete. I got fed up dealing with it so didn't ask them to return. read more

American Reliable Services performed an outstanding job at my rental property in Los Angeles! Being on the east coast, ARS worked with me and my tenant to ensure the work was to my tenants liking and cost effective for me to move forward. They replaced dry wall from a leaking bathroom shower, replaced the entire sewer system from the house to the street, and ensured future clogged pipes due to tree roots would no longer be an issue following the sewer line update. Congrats! Check out American Reliable Services. read more

I had a clogged kitchen drain. First I called another well known rooter company. The man tried to snake the drain but couldn't get through. When he said he would have to do one of 2 services. One for $2500 the other for $5000. We asked them to leave and called American Reliable Services. It did take a few different tools and 4 guys, but they got through and cleared the drain. The cost was $275. Not near the quotes from the first company. We were VERY happy with the service we received from American Reliable Services. read more

Technician visit was scheduled for 4-6 PM but the technician called at 6 PM to let me know that they are running late. And they showed up around 6:30 PM which was still okay. But when these two men showed up, they reeked of cigarette and didn't even know how to properly use their ladder which resulted in scuffed/scratched floors and I just realized that they even broke the cover to my attic. But besides the poor presentation, they went up to my attic for about 2 minutes and tried to analyze what the problem was and when I asked what can be done to fix the issue, the technician made couple of guesses and said "it will be about $500 but we can't fix it today" I called this company to get the issue fixed right away and not for them to waste 3 hours of my time and break my property. Do not waste your time with this unprofessional company. read more

Worked with them before , they are not as reliable as they say they are. Didn't fix my issue and sent me a crazy invoice which I didn't pay

We had a problem with increased pressure and Vik came over. He was very nice and found the pressure regulator valve and adjusted it in a few minutes. Our previous plumbers were going to trying to talk us into changing the valve for a lot of money. Vik didn't even charge us a consultation fee. These guys are fair and ethical. Highly recommended read more

Updating my review - while I cannot give a full 5 stars, the American Reliable Services team promptly reached out after the service to brainstorm solutions to the problem. After some conversation we were able to find a path forward, so adding back a star for the customer service. /// Had a simple toilet replacement job. Plumber scratched significant amount of tile dragging in the toilet, and then trying to remove the old caulking. After already scratching the floor, he let us know he couldn't remove the old caulking without scratching further so it was up to us whether we should just leave the old caulking in the middle of the floor or have him keep scratching away (we obviously just told him to stop). I ultimately ended up purchasing my own caulk remove and was able to fix without issue. $500 for a less than 2 hour job that ultimately damaged my floor in a way I cannot repair (I cannot buy more of the original tile) is certainly not what I expected. read more

American Reliable is great! They are on time, assess the issue, fix the problem, and explain everything! Will definitely be using them for any future issues. read more

I needed to get bids on what could have been an issue. Several plumbers were telling me it was a huge issue. He told me they were lying to me and saved me thousands of dollars. I will now be calling them for other plumbing issues after that. I want a plumber who isn't lying to me just get my business. And now he will be getting my business. read more

David came out and got out swamp cooler (evaporative cooler) running so much better just in time for the heat.

We had our furnace suddenly stop working during all this rain in LA. We sent a message and got a reply back almost instantly on Yelp. Nazareth came by early the next morning and was very professional and quick on the work. We look forward to reaching out in the future for any and all projects! He had to replace one of the circuits to get the electronic igniter to start working again, we paid around $300 for the whole service. Highly recommend. read more

David and his partner were AMAZING. We hadn't cleaned out our outside drains for over 15 years. So it was a lot of work for the two of them. They continued and continued to unclog day and night for three days. They tried everything until they were able to unclog them all. They put our turf back as it was and tested the heck out of the drains to make sure they were clear. FIVE STARS!! I will definitely recommend them and use them again. read more

Finally found an HONEST plumber! His name is Vik! I'm a Realtor. I listed my clients house for sale and wanted to check the water pressure gauge as it was coming up different during inspections.. So I met Vik the plumber at the house to check the water pressure. He told me the water pressure gauge was not working correctly and showed me exactly why. Then he went above and beyond by allowing me to record him, explaining to me the facts so I could send to the owner of the house rather than try to explain to the owner myself. He fixed the water pressure gauge and all works well now. I also called him over again a week later to fix a toilet that was making water sounds. He replaced the small part inside. Everything works perfectly. Always on time always respectable and most importantly honest. Thank you, Vik . I definitely have your number for future reference. read more

COULD NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE ELSE!!! Our AC stopped working out of nowhere and they were the only company to come quickly and efficiently. We had Angel and David come out to see our unit and they were great! Didn't feel like I was being taken advantage of during the heatwave and they were comfortable to work with (not awkward at all). So glad I found them and would definitely be calling them again when we're in a pickle! Thank you Angel and David for coming to the rescue, you two were an amazing team! read more

American Reliable Services responded to my AC service request within minutes on a Sunday! When I inquired, they were transparent about pricing which allowed us to make an informed decision. Within a few hours of making the call, David got our AC working. Very grateful to him as this heat wave has been no joke even in Santa Monica. read more
