    Fixed shower cartridge by owner

    Customer service and timeliness are exceptional. I really like how I can text reminders of my appointment and how far the plumber is. The courtesy call is always a plus. The plumber checked on site of the issue which I was already aware of the issue of replacing the shower cartridge since the shower head was continually leaking even after the handle was on on the shut off. Cost was $375 which I get there is labor involved but 30-60 mins + part ($35-80 part) to replace. The cost is above average. If you need something quickly done and don't might paying slightly more for them then they can definitely help. We did ask if we can do it ourselves, and he said yes which I like the honesty. We ended up doing it myself to save on cost since I had the tools and went to Home Depot to buy the cartridge.

    5-star plumber! This should be great! The first time OK. He fixed a buried PVC line at a slightly high price. But if they're reliable, it might be worth it, right? The second time was very bad. The tech quoted $1550 for a job that takes well under 4 hours with $200 in parts, and it was a sketchy fix. No go. But no bad review because it could be a fluke, right? Third time? Bad again. So it wasn't a fluke. Tech came for repair of the first job but apparently didn't know it was warranty service. He talked about replacing galvanized pipe with copper. I said it sounded expensive because PVC was really the problem. I suggested he talk to his boss because he the one who was paying for the warranty repair. He went blank, said OK, and when I came back, he and his assistant had left without saying a word. To their credit, Western Rooter promptly sent another tech, and he's now replacing 16 inches of PVC as warranty service (picture). So, I had thought one bad experience after a good one was a fluke. But now I can't ignore two bad experiences in a row. You have to stay on your toes. Two stars because they did send another tech to fix the problem. One star otherwise.

    Rotted Gas Line,

    I was referred by my HVAC contractor to call Western Rooter, as the supply line that feeds my pool heater, fire pit, and built-in gas grill developed a gas leak. The Gas Company came out, smelled the gas leak, shut off that supply line, and tagged it The tech, Richie Ortiz, came and I explained the situation. With his experience and knowledge, he was able to identify the rotted gas line and able to properly repair the leak. Being in the service industry, the people who work and represent the company either make or break it. Richie is polite, courteous, and most importantly, knowledgeable. He explained in detail what he needed to do and the cost, taking into account that we wanted a good repair at the least cost. Western Rooter is lucky to have such a great representative on their team.

Last year we had a water heater installed by QP Plumbing. There was one part of the installation that was overlooked and caused us some issues. When I told Oscar, he took complete accountability and offered to give us monetary compensation. I told him if he could just provide us with a credit on future service that would be great. Fast forward to present day, we had leak with one of our pipes. Oscar was able to come immediately to diagnose the issue and got his crew here the next day to get the issue resolved. Oscar did in fact give me the credit we had discussed over a year ago which I appreciated. I certainly plan to use QP Plumbing for any of my plumbing needs moving forward and I would highly recommend them.

My parents-in-law had a toilet that wasn't draining properly, a semi-emergency since it's the only toilet in their small condo. It was already late in the day, but I found QP Plumbing and messaged them and they were able to have a plumber out early the next morning. Leo was the plumber who visited and he did a lot of troubleshooting: first with a plunger, then an auger, then removing the toilet to inspect the trap and the drain pipe. In the end, we determined that the toilet should be replaced because of its age, and Leo took care of buying a new toilet, installing it, and hauling the old one away. He recommended a toilet that's elongated and slightly higher, which was a great option for our elderly parents with reduced mobility. Leo also replaced the wax ring and flange bolts and caulked the new toilet well. He took the time to do the job right, and the price was quite reasonable. And the new toilet is a huge improvement over the old one. Thanks QP for the quality work and for giving our parents one less thing to have to worry about!

This happened around 6am, I reached out at 8:30am, and Kyle arrived at 10:30am. Our technician, Kyle, was incredible. He drew clear diagrams to help me understand exactly why a snake couldn't clear it. He quickly provided an estimate to replace the fitting with a modern bullhorn design to eliminate future issues, and also noticed our downstairs toilet wax ring needed replacement. While I initially considered replacing the wax ring myself after researching it, I am so glad I left it to the professionals. The toilet weighed nearly 100 lbs and the floor bolts were severely rusted. Kyle gracefully applied a discount to the overall package that helped soften the blow. The best part was the incredible timeline: he provided the estimate and got the entire job done the SAME DAY. In a house with four people and no running water, this rapid response was an absolute lifesaver. Kyle began the work immediately and was very respectful of our property. He communicated with me every step of the way, showing me the problems and explaining his solutions. He dug out the clogged fitting, replaced it, backfilled the hole, and finished by resetting the toilet. By 7pm that very evening, our plumbing was fully restored! Kyle was kind, knowledgeable, and highly professional. Thank you from a very relieved family in a 50-year-old Anaheim home!

The technician showed up a hour late and said that they would be able to unclog the drain for us at a discounted rate of $300, but added that "it will drain better but can't guarantee how significantly better." That concerned us but we thought fine, as long as our bathtub drains normally. To our concern, the technician struggled to the point where he had to call in another technician for assistance. He then could not replace the screw on our faceplate, stating that the hole was stripped, and just left it as it is! We were concerned but he assured us that this new hole won't create any leaks and that any water that gets through the hole would just go down the drain. However, this now creates the new problem - we can't take any baths because this new hole drains our bath water. Now we have to hire someone else to replace the faceplate. Two stars for clearing the drain, -3 stars for creating another problem and just leaving it. **Edit: my roommate called to complain, especially since the technician told her it would be a $700 2-man job to replace the screw. They sent the manager over. He managed to place the screw back with some 409. They gave a 30 day warranty if the drain backs up again. 4 stars, minus 1 only because we shouldn't have to go through this ridiculous song and dance in order to finish the job we paid for.

As a contractor of 45+ years, I know a camera inspection can be played back so the customer can see exactly where the blockage is, how far down the line it sits, and what the pipe condition looks like. He spent roughly 30 minutes wandering around the property, and when I asked for basic information -- location of the roots, distance, pipe direction, or any camera footage -- I spent another 10 minutes trying to get answers. He still would not provide anything. He avoided questions, turned his back to me, and offered no visual proof or explanation of his findings. The clearing itself took less than five minutes, but I was left with no documentation and no confidence in the outcome. Because of that, I now have Rescue Rooter coming on Monday to run a proper camera inspection and verify the line, since this company gave me nothing to rely on. The owner's public responses to unhappy customers were also not encouraging -- there seems to be very little interest in customer service or follow-up, just the transaction. Very disappointing experience. I will not be using this company again, and I would strongly recommend asking for clear communication, written details, and camera documentation before authorizing any work.
