"The scheduler,Jocelyn, called soon after I purchased the deal on Angie's list and was incredibly friendly and easy to work with.  She was able to find a slot that was convenient for me less than a week out.
Jocelyn called about 20 minutes ahead of the technicians arrival, well within the 3 hour window they provided. Teh technicians, James and Billy, were courteous, friendly and professional. For example, when in the condo they put on booties to keep things clean. After the assessment they went over the results with me and answered any question I had completely.
The experience from beginning until the end was perfect. I would definitely consider My Plumber in the future.

"My shower faucet was not left in the manner it was before the service. The new piece that was put on was loose. And water was still leaking after. It was just as bad as before the service after the repair. And they drain cleaning price is expensive compared to other companies who offer specials for it."

"Scott Fanatizzo was our plumber. First he turned off the water going to all the toilets. Then went outside to check the pressure valve to the house. It was not working and the pressure coming through the house was the same (121) as from the city to the house. After installing a new pressure valve outside, he checked all the toilets inside and found that only one needed the inners replaced. Problem solved. Scott was polite, neat and efficient! He called and left a voice message alerting me that he would be early, plus I received an email from the company telling the name of the plumber that would be doing the work along with his picture. Awesome customer service!! Great company!!"

"We had been dealing with our shower slowly draining for about a week. After reading their reviews, we called California Plumbing. They used a hydro jetting machine to clear out years of buildup and our shower is draining much quicker. So satisfying!"

Drain Cleaning FAQs, answered by experts

If your drain line is clogged, your AC might stop cooling, shut down, or refuse to turn on at all. Otherwise, you might see your AC leaking water, find standing water or water damage near the unit, or notice a musty smell coming out of your air conditioner or vents.

Drain pipes carry wastewater from sinks, toilets, showers, and other fixtures to the main sewer line. They’re typically located within the walls and floors and beneath a home’s foundation. Meanwhile, sewer pipes transport collected wastewater to a septic tank or a municipal sewer system.

You can unclog a double kitchen sink by plunging the side with the garbage disposal. Cover the drain hole on the other side first to avoid creating a mess. Plunge up and down until the water starts to drain. You can also pour in baking soda and vinegar to try and dissolve a clog. 

Air gaps get clogged by a few different means. Over time, food and grime can collect in the air gap, leading to a blockage. Mineral deposits from hard water are a common problem. Mineral buildup creates a film in the air gap and tubing, which can cause flow issues, as well as attract debris. Homeowners with hard water may want to remove mineral deposits regularly to keep the air gap clean and clear.

Drain fly problems can go away on their own—but only if the insects find the environment inhospitable. Those with a minor infestation can simply flush their toilets and run their faucets more frequently to flush out the flies and larvae. Others will have to deep clean their drains and set up traps.
