"Yes. It was a tricky job failed by two prior plumbers we hired (not from Angie). Albano Plumber was very good in making the effort finding the root cause and get the job done right."

"A most impressive experience, start to finish. From the office staff to the Plumbers who completed the job, they are true competent professionals. The workmanship was outstanding and Christian and Kyle were prompt, friendly, thorough and extremely neat. Christian knew when I called him yesterday afternoon I was in dire need of a new water heater which quit unexpectedly and he got me scheduled for this morning. I truly appreciate that and I have and will recommend MVP Plumbing to friends and neighbors. Their pricing is fair and they run their business in an exemplary manner. I would give more stars if they had them. Truly deserved."

"This company was FANTASTIC. Javier completely understood the problem and didn't waste my time or money. Never tried to upsell like one of the past plumbers tried to pull with me. This was my third plumbing company before going through HomeAdvisor for Alliance United. You all saved me $3,500 in unnecessary work!!! Thank you!!!"

"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."

"Kevin was very communicative and professional. He really worked hard on this project. I ended up replacing my Toto toilet because it was too hard to find replacement parts. We could get some, but not all, and I had to visit 2 different plumbing parts companies who gave me the wrong parts. Too much work that took too much time, but I learned a lot! I am SO glad that Kevin and his assistant, Herbert, gave me the option to replace. Thank you, Kevin, you will now be my go to plumber!"

"HomeX technician Eddie replaced a broken water shut off valve in the bathroom & installed a replacement kitchen faucet. He was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient & responded to my emergency call within the hour. The HomeX office & dispatcher were very friendly & helpful. This is the second time HomeX has come to my rescue to take care of my plumbing problems. I will definitely call them next time I need a plumber."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

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?

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?

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.
