"Very honest, trustworthy and inexpensive plumbing company. I had three total estimates for the work and the other two companies just seem to want to charge as much as possible and do more work then was needed. I highly recommend Western Rooter and ask for Ryan, he’s the best!"

"I was skeptical at first of using HomeAdvisor to get more bids for work on our residential sewer lines but went ahead and accepted a connection with So-Cal Plumbing & Rooter. Jose called me immediately and his partner Alex and crew were here within half an hour. They did a thorough job diagnosing our issue and provided the most reasonable and fair bid we've seen. Once we accepted their offer, they began working straight away and returned in the morning to complete the job. We couldn't be happier with the experience and are grateful to Jose & Alex for their professionalism, honesty and thorough work. They will be our go-to plumbers from now on!"

"Kudos to Milton, Jesus, and the other team members for an awesome job. Leaking gas line was replaced with most professional service, being able to turn gas back on at 10:30pm the same day. I highly recommend Do It Right Plumbers for any of your needs!"

"This was a difficult project, owing to the no-cripple-wall construction of my house and the ridiculously tight crawl space - less than a foot in critical spots - plus the maze of beams and ducts. I called six or seven plumbers to come out and bid the work and two of them ran screaming (well, not really, they just told me they needed to work up an estimate 'back at the office' and never called back). One guy swore I'd have to rip out a wall AND the floor to get to the pipe. Mr. Rooter didn't propose anything so dramatic. They just said they'd excavate as needed to make room to move around. So that's what they did. They billed it as a two-day job. They showed up on time, and the work was wrapped up by the third hour of the second day. Because that, I was concerned this job had been overbilled. Their bid had been astronomical, but it was still lower than everyone's except the guy with the lapsed bond. Mr. Rooter had been willing to negotiate and I knocked about $650 off their initial bid. They took another $200 off at the back end because of my concern with overbilling. They didn't have to do that since they had a signed contract in hand, but they were willing to take care of a customer. Thumbs up for that. The work looks solid, as far as this layman can tell. Everything drains as it should and none of the joints leak."

"Rubio’s Plumbing service is by far the most professional experience you will ever have when it comes to trouble shooting, repair, or a new & complete repiping service. I have used Rubio’s on a number of occasions and each one has exceeded my expectations by far. I have had my home water service repiped without any issues. This was a huge undertaking that was performed quickly and without water disruptions. I have called them back during a remodel to change my laundry service location, both natural gas and water hookup that went smoothly. Rubios Plumbing also installed a bathroom vanity with the necessary plumbing upgrades which included faucet and sink fixtures. Their service was so incredibly reasonable in price and the quality of service was very professional. Rubios takes pride in their work and the cleanup afterwards. They provide recommendations to minimize future plumbing issues, forecasting recommendations to keep things in working order. Additionally, I called them once again to remove my old gas water heater and replace it with a Tankless Water Heater. A suitable location was found and the demo & installation process was completed once again with very positive results and no issues whatsoever. I could go on and on about how well they are but the bottom lines is, They were affordable and always worked within my budget. Rubios is a local company making it more convenient with a timely response to tackle any immediate problems. I highly recommend this company and I will certainly be calling them once again for my future home addition project coming up soon. I can truthfully say they are honest and trustworthy while working with the highest level of Customer Service, Integrity and Customer Satisfaction. You don’t need to spend a lot of time getting bids and waiting for other plumbers to show up or trying to upsell you. Call Rubio’s Plumbing and know that you’ve made the right call without all the hassle of those overpriced and over advertised out of area plumbing services. Support your local businesses with Rubios Plumbing, trust me, You’ll Be Glad You Did!"

Affordable Plumbers questions, answered by experts

Opening walls during plumbing repairs in Downey exposes unpermitted prior work requiring mandatory correction. You face additional expenses for licensed asbestos and lead paint abatement in pre-1980 homes. Breaking concrete to access slab leaks adds significant labor and restoration expenses. Extensive tree root damage and overlapping regional sewer regulations also introduce unforeseen expenses. Install water softeners to prevent hard water from ruining new CA fixtures.

Helpful?

Discolored water and low pressure strongly indicate failing galvanized pipes in older Downey homes. Warm spots on your floor or unexplained water bills point to patched slab leaks needing proper repair. Repeated sewer backups signal severe root intrusion in clay soils. Look for non-standard pipe configurations under sinks, which reveal unpermitted plumbing work. Replace failing water heaters affected by hard water scale throughout CA.

Helpful?

Ignoring slow drains in Downey allows tree roots to damage pipes hidden in clay-heavy soil. Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, as they deteriorate older cast iron pipes. Flush your water heater annually to clear hard water sediment common in CA. Run plenty of water through garbage disposals to prevent grease buildup, and avoid overloading washing machine lines during everyday plumbing use.

Helpful?

You must choose between copper and PEX materials for re-piping to handle hard water in Downey. Decide whether to route new pipes through walls or break concrete for slab foundation repairs. Choose trenchless or open-cut excavation for sewer repairs to preserve your landscaping. You must also approve the installation of seismic gas shutoff valves and water softeners to meet strict CA regulations during plumbing upgrades.

Helpful?

Functional plumbing requires permits and inspections to ensure compliance with CA codes, while cosmetic updates like swapping a showerhead do not. Cosmetic projects in older Downey homes expose hidden functional issues, such as corroded pipes behind walls. Both types require strict adherence to statewide water efficiency standards. Hire a licensed contractor to handle required permits and manage overlapping local requirements safely.
