Manny (and his crew, yes my plumbing required an entire crew) was amazing. I used Magic Rooter to replace a main sewer line doing the "trenchless" method. After years of getting our line hydro-jetted, we were able to finally replace the sewer pipe. Because of the expense, I received 4 estimates from local companies. Magic Rooter wasn't the lowest estimate, but was very competitive. I liked and trusted Manny, so we decided to go with his company. They were able to start earlier than scheduled and finished quicker than expected. The whole day, all the guys were working their butts off! All of the crew wore masks, were friendly and polite, and they cleaned everything up when they left. I give this company my highest recommendation to anyone who needs to replace their sewer line. Here's to showering in peace! read more

Our go to for any plumbing issue. Manny always treats our emergency as important to him as well. I believe in using local business when possible. Thanks again for showing up so soon and resolving our problem. read more

First of all Manny was awesome at communication. He got right back to me, scheduled an appointment, and showed up on time. He even texted a few minutes beforehand to say he was on his way. These are small things that I've really come to appreciate in a contractor. I know that plumbers, electricians, and people with valuable skills are in high demand these days, so I'm somewhat accustomed to being stood up, or cancelled on when a bigger better gig comes up. So when someone skillful and communicative like Manny shows up I don't take it for granted. My job was simple, just a little bit of preventative maintenance on my cleanout. He did the job quickly and at a great price, then we chatted about muscle cars and driver safety. Haha. Total pleasure. read more

Have used Manny twice now, once for a small rooting job and once to install a new water heater. Was fantastic in both instances with excellent communication and quick work. Highly recommend. read more

Manny is wonderful. Several months back, for an emergency call, he responded within hours (he happened to be close and we live in Lincoln Heights) and sorted out our plumbing needs immediately. He came out again today to help us with roots in our very old clay pipes and went above and beyond for both temporary and long term rooting needs, offering solutions and advice. He gave us great counsel about what we need to do in the long term and was super reasonable. If you live on the east side and need plumbing help we could not recommend him more. Gracious, affordable and effective. Thanks, Manny! read more

Just recently moved into the Highland Park neighborhood and needed a plumber to help out with installations. So happy that Magic Rooter fell into my lap. Manny is fantastic with over 20 years of experience and you can tell how much he loves his job and takes pride in the work he does. I'm grateful to have found such a trustworthy plumbing service after the purchase of my first home. Amazing prices for exceptional work. I have a bigger project coming up in the next few months and will absolutely be calling Magic Rooter! Highly recommend!!!! read more

Finally found a good plumber. Manny came on time. He has a great personality and very knowledgeable. He did an excellent job with my washing machine drain clog. Although he only came for one job, he did additional works because he came with complete plumbing tools and supplies. He did three jobs at a very reasonable price. I will recommend him in a heartbeat. I will keep him as my permanent plumber from now on. read more

You know when you have one of those weeks when everything comes together this was the week and Manny from Magic Rooter helped it happen. My daughter was under a time crunch to get projects done in her condo before move in so I looked up Magic Rooter saw the 5 star reviews and they deserve every star. Not only did he come by to work on the plumbing issues the next morning but pointed out things that were working fine and did not need attention and fixed things that he saw was a potential problem which we appreciated! Manny and his assistant were professional and curtious and left the place without a trace that they had been there except for totally fixing the problems. I highly recommend Magic Rooter for all plumbing needs! Thanks again Manny! read more

Where do I even start with Manny and his amazing crew? For starters, Manny visited my parents home about 6 months ago for what we had assumed would be a quick fix. Mind you, they've had several issues over the years but never any good luck with plumbers. Once he was there I got a phone call from Manny letting me know he was keeping me in the loop because the issues were actually symptoms of a more serious problem. Right away Manny won me over being that he actually expressed concern for my parents property. My parents haven't had any luck with good plumbers and once they told me they had found their plumber I made time to go out there and meet him so I quickly rushed over. When I arrived I found Manny in the house with boot covers on, having a conversation with my parents as if they had known each other for years which spoke volumes to me because if my parents approve that's all that matters. While keeping a friendly attitude his demeanor never changed and for that I immediately knew we had found our plumber. From the start I could tell he was professional, honest and trustworthy. We got straight to the issues that were present, Manny told me exactly what it would take to get the job done & set the expectations right away so that there would be no surprises during the work being performed. Manny saved our water pressure from damaging our systems, hydrojetted our sewer drains, repaired a section of improper grading drains underneath the house and replaced all angle stops inside the home. Thanks to Manny and his clean crew, my parents are happy and taken care of. His team was just as professional as he was and they all worked with precaution inside the home. Manny, we will definitely call you and your team back for all plumbing issues, thank you! read more

I'm a General Contractor. Finding an honest and affordable rooter guy is key when I have a sewer problem. Yesterday, I found a difficult main sewer clog on a client's job in Eagle Rock. I contacted Manny (independent rooter), he came out, did an inspection, marked the sewer line locations gave me some insight in what needed to be done. Based upon his knowledge, we installed a new clean out at the position he indicated. The next day, Manny came cleared the clog investigated the downstream terminus. He's a truly honest rooter guys in the area. It was a pleasure working with him!! If you have a rooter issue, hire him and trust his expertise. read more

Manny is a knowledgeable and amiable plumber. He was prompt and the only plumber to answer (I had called two before him). He diagnosed the issue and explained it in an understandable way. His rate was extremely reasonable and I would most definitely do business with him again. Thanks! read more

Manuel was proactive, I completely forgot to send my address and be checked in a week in advance to remind me! He accommodated my reschedule, showed up on time and was super quick. He showed me the exact problem, replaced our cold water hose and let me know the hot water hose will need to be replaced at some point because it's the home's original but wasn't necessary yet. He got us a new seal for the main pipe. The price was reasonable and affordable, with no charge for the initial visit! Thank you Manny I will be recommending your services to neighbors and friends. read more

Manuel is great. He's on time, gets things done quickly, and pricing is very reasonable. I like that he is very courteous and was very flexible. Highly recommend Magic Rooters! read more

Manny is great! I discovered that my main line from my clean out to my septic was clogged and backing up around 4 PM a few days ago. I called another rooter service who said they would come out later that night. About 4 hours later they called to cancel saying that my job required a two-man crew. I called Manny around 7 PM and he picked up and said he would come out first thing the next morning. As promised, he came out the next morning and cleared the blockage for less than half what the other company quoted. I highly recommend Manny and will call him anytime I have rooter/plumbing issues. Thanks, Manny! read more

Manny was able to respond to me early in the morning to set up a time to arrive to clean out a sewer clog. He arrived on time and punched through the clogged line to get the drain to clear. He was able to go both ways down the line and after flushing it out, he sent a camera up and down the lines to show me where the tree roots had gotten into my clay sewer line. I had never seen the inside of my pipes so that was cool and informative. All for a nice price. A company that I almost had come out late at night wanted $450 to do just the drain clearing after quoting $99 on the phone, but I'm glad I could wait until morning to have Manny do it for a small fraction of the cost. Manny was really nice, informative, and on time so I am very happy he could step in when my usual rooter was not available. read more

Awesome service. Quick quote response and honest detail of scope-of-work description. Manny was professional with the work performed and the cleanup afterwards. Fair pricing too. read more

I was having issues with my sink/tub I called around and from the get go their customer service stood out to me. Still I wanted to call around and get estimates at the end of the day after a few came out and gave their quotes there was no competition magic rooter came out on top best price and amazing customer service. Manny was super helpful and explained everything in detail. If you're having any plumbing issues give them a call! read more

Manny was able to come out and unblock a kitchen sink for me within 2 hours of my request. He was very professional, friendly, and got the job done very quickly. He was also masked and gloved - fully prepared for pandemic conditions. Excellent value and fast service! read more

I came home to find a puddle around my toilet and the water level in the bowl was high. I turned on the shower and that was starting to fill up. Running the washing machine caused the water level in the toilet bowl to rise. I could only suspect there was a clog somewhere. Being that it was late I began searching Yelp and found a local plumber from Northeast Los Angeles. The reviews were great. I had no options. So I called. Manny set up an appointment a few hours later that same day. He was very professional, very friendly, and understanding. He cleared the clog and my shower and toilet were working again. He price was reasonable and his service is outstanding!! If you need a plumber Manny from Magic Rooter would be an excellent choice. I recommend him. read more

Manny was so nice! I told him I had work later, so he arrived and fixed my shower quickly. The process was so quick and easy. Manny also gave me advice on how to not damage the pipes with chemical solutions. Thank you, Manny! read more

Manny and his team came to help me install new drains. I was very happy with the results since I've been having drain issues for years but didn't know they were drain issues until Manny came out to see what was wrong. I thought it was just a minor plug up but it turned out the previous people that did the drains didn't do them correctly so it caused back up in the kitchen line and one of the bathroom lines. He and his team are very hard working and made sure everything was done right. Even a leak in my bathtub was fixed as he was working on the drains, and he didn't charge me for that part as a courtesy to the work I was already paying him for. read more

I cannot say enough kind words about Manny and Magic Rooter! He was kind enough to answer my calls right away and worked with my schedule to address a couple issues in the bathroom. Will need more extensive work and I will be calling Manny back to do the work. Highly recommended! read more

When we moved into our rental place we noticed the tub and sink wouldn't drain. I called Manny and he came the same day. He fixed the problem quickly and for a fair price. He did such a great job, I called him the week after to see if he could fix the problem my parents were having with their kitchen sink. Great results with them too! read more

Manny is a total professional. Fast and seamless turnaround, he did a precise and accurate diagnostic and solution for a pipe draining problem that a previous plumber could not solve. Great communication, prompt response and equipped with top notch gear. Could not recommend him enough. read more

Manny was able to get out to us on short notice. He was really nice, professional, and his services were very reasonably priced. Overall a great experience, I would recommend to anyone in the area. Thanks! read more

I don't typically write reviews, but I must say I'm extreme happy with Manny's work! He is extremely professional and reliable. I told him my problem with a clogged tub and sink that had been going on for a while. He arrived on time, explained the situation, provided options and he fixed the problems! I had called another plumber who was charging me almost double! I have referred him to friends who have been extremely happy with his service. Thanks Manny! read more

Manny rules! I called him to fix a broken garbage disposal in my new apartment and he came over in a couple hours, got my disposal up and running quickly, and charged me an extremely fair price. Plus he's super friendly and easy to talk to! I'd definitely trust Manny for any future plumbing needs. read more

Manny is the man. He's friendly, good communicator, experience, personable and handles business. I didn't formally meet his assistant but I know he was kicking down some knowledge during the work. I've had two other plumbers at my place since November and not one of em did a thorough job like this. Manny took the time to use his camera and get to the bottom of my clog. He found the obstruction and fixed the problem without lying to me or charging me an arm and a leg. Thanks Manny! Welcome to my team of contractors who I work with to run a tight ship in this world where so many people waste time and money. read more

I was in the shower this morning and heard the toilet making weird noises. Manny was recommended to us by a friend and what a great experience. He came the same day, took care of my problem and respected my house( wore booties without me asking). I would highly recommend Magic Rooter! read more

Manny is amazing. He was super sweet, and he came the very day I called him. Squeezed me into his busy schedule after he finished up a job nearby. Highly, highly recommend him. read more

We are so thrilled to have met Manny. Now we finally have a competent and ethical plumber to call! On a Sunday, he called back right away, communicated clearly, showed up when he said he would, did a great job for an extremely fair price, and cleaned up meticulously. read more

These guys are great. I had Magic Rooter out to help me clear my sewer. They cleaned it out and fast!

Manny has worked on my house a couple of times already. i am a new homeowner and he has been kind enough to always be efficient, reliable, professional and affordable. They take their time and Manny was kind enough to explain to me thoroughly what the problem was in a way in which I would understand it. I would and have recommended Magic Rooter to those needing plumbing services! read more

I just wanted to thank Magic Rooter for the great service, we are really satisfied with the service you provided us. Toilets and showers where backed up in our house and within in an hour he had our plumbing working again. Thanks Manny!!!! read more

A true professional rooter must have adequate knowledge, good manners, proper equipment, and reasonable pricing. Manuel and his team showed up on time, replaced my broken clay sewer line with a 4" ABC pipe and a new clean out. The clay pipe was filled with 5 feet of fresh roots. I don't think we need to call a rooter again. Keep up the good work, Magic rooter. Kurt L. read more

Manny was on time, professional and thorough. Good price and they also provided a written 60 day guarantee. He told me what the problem was and how to prevent it. Thanks! read more

I was flipping out when evil roots invaded my sewer line causing a blockage. Things (you know what I mean) were backing up. Well, Ex-lax super strength just ain't gonna cut it so I feel really lucky that I was able to find Manny and he was able to come out right away. Sure enough, half an hour later, exactly on time, he shows up with his helper and is ready to get started. I had another plumber hydro-jet the sewer early last year so I was thinking I'd have to come up with the big bucks to have it jetted again but instead of trying to upsell me, which so many companies do, Manny convinced me that using a conventional snake (rooter) would work and the cost would be a fraction of using the hydro-jetter. The snake did a fine job on the 100 + feet to the manhole and to check it at no extra charge he fed a lighted video cable through the whole length. It looked just as clean and free of roots as when I had the jetting done. I'll be using him when needed from now on. My sewer got reamed out not my wallet. read more
