Love this company!! Angel, one of the owners who is super awesome, came out on a Sunday afternoon and gave me hot water after 3 days without.... After a bunch of other companys were trying to charge me just for an estimate, and others sounded like they didn't know what they were talking about, I found them, and they were awesome. Dependable, honest, good service, highly reommended!! read more

I don't usually write Yelp reviews but felt like this time I should. I had Universal Plumbing come over to give me an estimate to redo the pipes in our house in copper. The estimate was free, which I really appreciate since they took their own time out of their busy schedule to come to my location just to check it out. They ended up being the most affordable and were much more knowledgeable than the other two companies I called. We signed a contract to start in October when we refinance our home. I also recommended them to my dad. Just recently he had a plumping emergency and gave Universal Plumbing a call. He was more than satisfied with their quick and efficient work, but most importantly with their professionalism. He said he'll be calling them for now on. I highly recommend Universal Plumbing for your plumbing needs! read more

Now i know why this company has sooooo many 5 stars! I called them to check on the main water valve. Someone, incl the water dept person, told me i should have this valved fixed because it could cause a huge problem and water would be leaking all over. Met with Chris and he gave me all the information i needed to be informed about how valve works. Also, the valve was not broken and the last plumber didn't even check it and gave me a $1000 quote...double this company if it was broken!!! Chris explained that the knob can turn and turn and turn before it actually stops...good to know!! You have to appreciate a company that is that honest! So, 5 stars for them and when I need a plumber, I'll ask for Chris. Thanks! read more

Called and made an appointment the same day. Workers arrived right on time and were extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Even though I had told them the wrong part I needed before the arrived, they went and exchanged the parts for me and went above and beyond to get the job done quickly and correctly. read more

Local family company with great friendly service and fantastic pricing. Don't call some larger company. Get your poop in a group and support a company like this. read more

Angel and his crew are honest peeps. They came out, checked out my water heater and charged me way less than what other folks estimated. Solid. read more

You can count on universal plumbing to get the job done quickly, professionally and neatly. Ruben was friendly and accommodating. I had a problem with my kitchen sink. He fixed it in less than an hour. When I made the call, a very nice receptionist answered. He answered all my questions even though he explained that he was not a plumber. My appointment was for the next day between 9 and 11. I got texts and emails immediately after I made the appointment. Ruben arrived at 10 and finished the job before 11. I recommend them for any plumbing job! read more

I called Angel today around 10:30 in the morning after we experienced an emergency at home. A pipe of some sort seemed to have burst in our upstairs bathroom (under spa tub), and had drenched our downstairs family and living room. Hot, steaming water was literally cascading from the ceiling and into the walls. What impressed me most was that Angel answered the phone directly; there was no voicemail; no service. I was talking to the man himself. Even though I was tripping over my own words (I was in shock by the whole event), he remained calm and professional at all times. He informed me that he would be able to come in about 1-2 hours. Sure enough, at around 12:30, he arrived at the house (he even called to let me know he would arrive in about 15-20 min). Angel (and his uncle) where at the house all day - from 12:30 till about 7:30pm at night, with the only time away to get needed materials. He was considerate, thoughtful, and reasonable with regard to the problem. Rather than destroying my bathroom, he found a novel way of reaching the piping, and corrected the blown valve. He was also very knowledgeable and respectful of the whole home owners insurance process I would be going through and made sure to photograph the damage. I definitely hope we never have to encounter such an emergency again. The silver lining in all this, however, is that I have found a plumber for life. No matter what job, big or small, I can promise you that I will always be calling Angel back. He gets my whole hearted endorsement (and I can be a picky bast*rd)! read more

Since I'm the only one that has a yelp in our family, I will speak for us as a 'thank you' to these guys. We had a backed up kitchen sink line and we were trying to look for the thriftiest way to get it fixed. We called universal and told us not to worry about a thing. Leo came in and told us the price. When he told us the price we immediately put him to work hahaha! he fixed our pipeline by snaking and yanking out the clogged. I suggest you call these guys and don't hesitate!! theyre very quick and easy to associate with. read more

Had a clogged sink/garbage disposal last week and called Universal plumbing. They came and fixed it (in the time window that they had given us, always appreciated). i don't remember the names of the 2 guys but they were nice and got the job done, took the pipes out, took the time to show me exactly what happened and why, and left the kitchen as clean as they had found it. And the price of the intervention was reasonable, so absolutely no complains. The big cherry on top is that our garbage disposal acted up again over the weekend, not clogged but the blades weren't turning... We called universal plumbing and they agreed to come check it out for free, even though there's no way to tell whether the two issues were related or not. So Angel came today and took it apart, got it running again and offered some advice. He was great and we really really appreciate the amazing quality of service! I would absolutely recommend these guys. read more

After recently moving to Hollywood in a new home, I began experiencing a myriad of plumbing issues from the previous owner. I was referred to 7 different plumbing companies that came to my home. I quickly learned that in LA, a good plumber is hard to find much like an auto mechanic. Each of the 7 companies lacked integrity, work ethic, professionalism, and sometimes overall knowledge. Then I finally turned to Yelp and found Universal Plumbing and all of their stellar reviews. After using Universal now 5 times in two months, I couldn't be happier and finally found a plumbing company that I can trust. Their service and workmanship was absolutely consistent with all of the positive reviews on Yelp. What I like most about them is that they are a family run business and provide a higher level of care and service than large franchise plumbing entities. It's always extremely easy to make an appointment with them, and they always text you or call you to let you know where they are in their schedule so that you don't waste time waiting at home unlike other companies that provide a large window but you never know when they will actually show up. Each of the five plumbers that have shown up to my home have all been related and you can tell that they have put in the time and effort in continuing education as everyone has been extremely technical and proficient. I have had hot water heater issues, toilet leaks, toilet replacements, leaks in multiple sinks, and all have been rectified and rather easily by Universal Plumbing. Not only do they show up on time, but their demeanor is always pleasant, and they always treat you like you are their only client for the day, and that they have nothing but time for you. Along with being extremely patient, you learn quite a bit watching them work, as they are always quick to educate you on what exactly it is that they are doing, and furthermore, what potential maintenance needs to be performed and also potential issues that may exist in the future to keep an eye on. After the work is completed, they also really take the time to clean up and do so properly which is nice, because I often have to clean up after service vendors because they are usually in a hurry to go on to the next job. The best of the company is Angel, who is hands down an expert in his field. This man has a real passion for the industry and it shows in his attitude and how he goes about his business. I've learned quite a bit watching him work, and he is brought me up to speed on some key issues that need monitoring moving forward. You can really tell that he sets the tone for the high level of quality and service orientation at Universal. I've was extremely fortunate to find them on Yelp and the number of quality reviews really tell the tale. They go above and beyond, and often have great money saving tips along the way. Its extremely comforting to have them on call list. read more

The guys from Universal just came out to handle a drain cleaning at my place. They were there very quickly after my call and handled the job just as fast. The best part was the care and attention to detail. They were careful the entire time and you'd never know they were there. I think they actually spent more time prepping and cleaning than actually cleaning the drain. If it weren't for my sink draining right, I'd never know they were here. Thanks guys!! read more

I have tried many plumbing services over the years and none can compare to the experience I had with Universal Plumbing. They were fast, clean, and and very accommodating. The prices were very fair and they did an amazing job. I would definitely recommend them for any job. They will be the first people I call when I have any plumbing needs. Thanks Universal Plumbing for doing such a great job!! read more

seriously, call UNIVERSAL PLUMBING Co. when you need a plumber! I found them on yelp and email them about my problem. They even came after 7pm as i need to stay at work until 6:30pm. They fixed everything: remove the rusted pipe and install my shower head within 30 mins. Fast service and reasonable price !! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!! read more

Ruben was great...what was a leaking kitchen sink and a garbage disposal that wasn't working...is now working great including the faucet replacement that was done by him. read more

I called Universal Plumbing after 5pm expecting to get an answering machine, but got a person who said they could get out to me within the hour. And my situation wasn't even emergency! Such not an emergency that I solved the problem myself moments before they got here. But they didn't charge me for stopping by and were gracious and all that. I was really impressed with the ridiculous promptness! I look forward to really needing them in the future. read more

These guys are a God sent. My story is, that I called Mike Diamond and they gave me a quote of 1,57.97 for a simple job of sealing the a leaky kitchen facet and dripping washer valve I was told I had to replace the facet by Mike Diamond and all kinds of crap that was not needed, so I said goodbye to them and took to yelp to find Universal Plumbers Co. that had excellent reviews so I gave them a shot and asked if they service the Whittier area, I was told yes, so I was very excited. A Plumber Tech named Eli came out next day and he was courteous, very honest. He said all he had to do was seal the facet and he just tightened the washer valve. Simple. These plumbers are honest and the price was GREAT. I would so use them again. Thank You Eli and Universal Plumbers Co. read more

We used Universal Pluming based on these yelp reviews we cannot have been happier. Eli came out quickly diagnosed the problem check out some other pipes without charging extra he was patient pleasant n and great to deal with, especially on a Saturday emergency plumbing problems the whole experience was positive and we plan on using Universal Pluming again. A definite professional and a really good guy read more

Called Universal Plumbing on Thursday to give me an estimate on a tankless water heater and a regular water heater. Angel came over and thoroughly explained the work to be done. He didn't try to oversell anything and the price was fair. Since the water heater I had was leaking, he squeezed the job in for the next day. The guys that showed up on Friday were on time and courteous. Will definitely use them again. read more

I had a reasonably large job (three days of pipe replacement). Angel and the technicians were excellent. Very professional estimate process, considerate and responsive workers, and thorough job. I rarely post reviews but this was a stand-out experience. read more

This is the second time I have contacted Universal Plumbing for our main clogged sewer line. I have never experienced such friendly and great customer service along with such knowledgable and professional individuals in their field. I was so relieved this company treated me like their own and didn't charge me an arm and a leg to get the job done. They were more concentrated on solving our problem rather than just making a quick easy dollar! I HIGHLY recommend them! they are my new go- to guys. read more

Angel provided amazing, personal service. He quoted me a great price, was helpful on the phone, and came out to my condo to do the job quickly. He made sure the job was done right and worked with my situation. I am happy to recommend his service and will absolutely call him again for any future plumbing needs. read more

I had a clogged toilet and I tried everything and Universal Plumbing came out and was able to unclog my toilet for me. Turns out I had a clogged pipe from a root of a tree causing the back up. A guy by the name of Rojo was very polite and courteous. I will definitely use their services again! read more

Universal Plumbing has done several jobs for me so far including installing a tankless water heater and I am completely pleased. They are punctual, fast, hard working, efficient, honest, and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. read more

The office called within 30 minutes of their arrival and they were on time. Both sinks were fixed within 45 min. George and Oscar were professional, my floors are clean and the job is done! Highly recommend them. read more

we had/have a drainage problem at our home and called a few places on yelp. Universal Plumbing had great reviews along with affordable prices, so we called them up (on a holiday no less). Angel was very friendly on the phone and explained that even though they had a day full of work they would get to us...eventually. And they did! Our problem ended up being much larger than we knew (ugh), and Angel was very thorough in his work and explanation of everything. He went above and beyond what he had to do and in the end, just charged us for what was quoted over the phone. Believe the hype! read more

We had a problem with a leaky hose that connected to our water heater that was putting out the pilot light so we had no hot water in our showers. We called Universal late on a Thursday night and they promptly came out Friday morning and fixed the problem extremely quickly. Now we can take hot showers and baths! Awesome. Thanks Chris & Andy for making the process smooth and easy on our end. read more

Our toilet and bath tub were clogged. The kind of clogged were no amount of plunging or draino makes any difference. Sergio and Andy of Universal Plumbing had it fixed in 15 minutes. Hurrah! read more

I can not recommend Universal Plumbing more. Great and friendly service. They came out on a Sunday within an hour and solved our problem in no time. They were affordable and honest. Amazing. read more

I was very pleased with the same service I received with this company.. it started as simple as putting a service request on their website to receiving a phone call to having someone at our place in less then 20 minutes from phone call to our residence. We've been having some hot water issues, first starting with my back home then to the front residence... I would have never thought it was a gas issue..we've just renovated our new residence before we moved in and the current stove needed to be replace.. okay , not an issue we'll replace it. Not knowing that turning off the gas would affect the front house water pilot. I was told that our water heater is connected to the main house water heater ( weird right) So when we turned off the gas, and our water heater, the gas line that connects the back house to the main front house turned off as well. Seems really complicated right? It however was as easy as putting a cap on our gas line so we could turn the gas back on and within a few minutes the main house water heater pilot light lit up and they had there hot water back, they suggested we get a new water heater for the back house as well.. which we will since it still has a good year or two left. I couldn't have been more please with the experience and most importantly I learned something new. I will definitely call them back again if i have any other plumbing issues. read more

By far the best experience I've ever had with a plumbing company...! They just installed a Rennai tankless water heater for us, and these guys were true professionals! Their teamwork is like a piece of art, and the installation of the new heater is beautifully done. I loved speaking with Ester, who was helpful and pleasant on the phone, and Angel, Chicho, Angel's dad, and two other guys I forgot to get their names- they are all great folks. Great manners and a great attitude. they stayed here till after 10pm to get it done. Sweet. :) oh, and Angel gave me a tankless water heater 101 for about 10 minutes, answering my silly questions with smiles and patience. Very helpful! Thank you, guys! read more

We had to replace our shower pan and get a hot mop after not having one for about 6 months. They were nice, and they did the job in good time. The price was good too. Whatever problem we had, they were nice enough to fix it. They will do what it takes to give their clients the 5 star treatment. Thank you. read more

From the phone call when inquiring about service to the handshake when the job was complete, Universal was friendly, on-time, trusting and fair. Tough to find in this town. read more

I had a drip coming from the back of my washing machine at midnight. I called and Angel walked me through how to handle it OVER THE PHONE! I shut off the water to my condo, and checked the water heater via picture texts to make sure there wouldn't be any issues. All for no charge. It's nice to know that there are still people who will take 20 minutes out of their lives to help solve an issue for no other payment than a good yelp review and positive karma. read more

Had an excellent experience with this company. They were timely & polite. The technician that was sent out (Chris Bernabel) was extremely kind, and knowledgeable. Most of all he helped me with my issue and didnt even charge for the advice and pointers that led me to an easy fix on my end. I have multiple bad experiences with plumbers that price gouged, were extremely rude, and multiple cancellations of appointments. Not to worry with this group!! read more

I contacted Universal Plumbing in the afternoon around 2:00 p.m. and spoke with Angel who was very accommodating and reassuring. He had a technician out to my property in a few hours as promised and I was a little alarmed at the price to replace an existing kitchen faucet with a like product ($120.00). The technician told me that's what he was told to charge and I asked him to contact his office for a price reduction. I spoke with Angel and explained that it was a simple installation that shouldn't take more than 1/2 hour and I didn't feel paying $120.00 was a fair price. He reduced the price to $100.00: still a little high but as it turned out it took the technician more than an hour to complete the installation. The work was done to my complete satisfaction and I would highly recommend this company. read more

Good experience and great service with Universal Plumbing. My water heater was leaking and had to be replaced unfortunately. Was quoted a reasonable price for the replacement and installation. Took care of the situation in a timely manner. They came out on a Saturday afternoon and diagnosed the problem. Ordered the new water heater and replaced and installed on Monday in a couple hours. I would highly recommend them for anyone's plumbing needs. read more

I found Universal Plumbing thru Yelp and had them come out and fix the sink at my moms house. We were having problems and they came out the same day we called and gave us a reasonable price for there services. We havent had any problems with the sink since. read more
