"I set an appointment with Albano's Plumbing & Drain for Friday which made it easy for me and the guy was right on time, pulled the trap apart and fixed it. They were really good. They answered the phone and they were very professional, they told me when they could be there and when they couldn't, they gave me a choice of when they could come, the guy who came over was nice and clean and he did a really good job. I was very happy. He removed the sink, fixed it, put everything back, cleaned up and he was done."

"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."

"Kenny has been my go-to plumber since I bought the house 4 years ago. He always gives me an honest assessment of the issues and does professional work every time. I've used Burris Brothers for almost all of my plumbing projects big and small. Very happy with the quality of work."

"Kevin showed up on time and was very friendly and social. He did the job quickly and didn't leave a big mess. Nor did he charge outrageous prices. He had the tools he needed in his van and even explained his inspiration for his logo. Thank you Kevin! If we need any other plumbing needs I will contact him again."

Plumbing 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?

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.

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.
