We scheduled an appointment for them to come look at the plumbing after seeing the Angie's List coupon for whole house repiping. Their rep (I think his name was Christopher) arrived on time, and was very efficient and thorough. He took time explaining their services and procedures in a straightforward way, and was able to schedule a start date a couple of days later. All of their work carries a lifetime warranty that transfers to the new owners if we ever sell the house. We couldn't believe how quickly the crew worked, and they were very careful to clean up after themselves. Unfortunately the job ran a bit longer than they originally anticipated, but they stayed late to make sure it was all completed. The city inspector complimented the quality of the work and noted several items where he said that they'd gone above and beyond what many plumbers will do when installing Pex (securing it to the studs, using copper fittings, etc). The drywall team came by the next day and had completely repaired all of the holes within hours. We are very happy with all of the work that Repipe 1 did and we would gladly recommend them to anyone!
**Update**
A quick update/clarification on the whole home repiping coupon. It includes the hot/cold water pipes only, not the drain pipes in your house. Perhaps this should have been obvious to me, but I assumed that the drain pipes would be repiped as well. In our case, we had very old galvanized pipes throughout the house, both water and drain pipes. Our drain coming out of the washer is totally rusted through and has since broken completely. I do wish that the Repipe 1 crew would have noted that before closing up the wall, but it seems that the drains are outside of their purview. I'm keeping the rating an A because we are still very pleased with the work that they did, and would gladly use them again. I just wanted to post this update as a heads up for anyone who may be considering purchasing the Big Deal coupon."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/irvine/repipe-1-reviews-3156740.htm"},"position":6},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Best City Rooter","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeremy M."},"reviewBody":"They are always amazingly flexible and quick to come out.

These 4 pals are great for main line drain cleaning. they can't clean your drain out, then nobody can. No one else could clean our drains because of tree roots. They stayed two hours trying and used double blades and got through. Highly recommended.

FAQs for drain cleaning projects in Los Angeles, CA
On average, a plumber will take 30 minutes to two hours to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn’t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.
It’s possible to snake minor drain clogs yourself, provided they sit within a foot or two of the drain itself, but it’s usually best to hire a professional plumber regardless. Even experienced DIYers have a high chance of accidentally pushing the clog further into the drain using a drain snake or another tool, so hiring a plumber is the ideal course of action. A professional plumber can use camera equipment to locate and identify the clog, and remove the entire blockage to fix your issue permanently.
In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don’t technically need a license, as they aren’t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They’ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi’s state licensing tool to check your plumber’s professional licenses before hiring.
Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
