"I've wanted to wait a few months before writing this review, because this was a big, daylong job that required more than just a few days to assess.  Sure, I was happy with the work when it was finished.  I'd gotten seemingly great work at a great price (about $1000 less than the quotes I'd gotten from two other top mountain plumbers).  And after several weeks without it, having consistent hot water throughout the house was absolute bliss.  Still, it's the kind of work that shouldn't be judged immediately.  If the water heater had failed after a few weeks, or the gas line had clogged up two months later, I might have been very UNhappy.  I just wanted to wait and make sure that work that SEEMED great . . . actually WAS great.
The good news: I highly recommend O'Brien Plumbing.  With a single phone call I was able to arrange for my plumber (Tristan) to come by, make an assessment of my problems and give me an estimate on the work that needed to be done.  Unlike another plumber who charged me $100--and gave me a much higher estimate--O'Brien Plumbing provided this service for free.  And Tristan even took time to sit down at my computer and help me pick out the optimal water heater to replace my old one.  (He not only recommended a much more powerful unit than the ones I was considering, but also gave me a clear explanation as to why.  Despite the sting of the additional cost, I ended following his advice and bought a Noritz 11.1 GPM tankless heater.  Now, I'm really glad I did.  It's a monster and has been really helpful when we've had company--or even when we just want to take a shower and run the dishwasher at the same time.  And it still pumps out consistent hot water in the coldest mountain weather.)
The day of the work: Tristan and his partner were a little late, but he apologized as soon as he arrived, which always makes me feel better.  I said, "I don't care as long as I have hot water by the end of the day."  "You will," he said.  About seven hours later, the work was done, and I had a new tankless heater installed (with new venting), plus a fresh 3/4" gas line running directly from my meter to my heater, plus a small filtration system added to my water supply line.  It was a lot of work, but everything was working perfectly when the guys were done.  And I was extremely happy to have hot water in my house again.
Today, three months later, everything is still working perfectly.  I'm extremely happy with the supplies I ended up purchasing and think they are a significant upgrade to my house.   And with everything still operating perfectly, without a single issue, I'm pleased to say that I'm very happy with Tristan and his work--and all the people at O'Brien Plumbing.
Great job at a great price.  Me and my family really appreciate it.

"Jonathan Zavala and his team are amazing!! We recently bought a house which we knew needed a little plumbing work. Of course it's every home owner's nightmare when a "little" work turns out to be a lot! We really thought we'd be stuck dealing with plumbing repairs for weeks, but Jonathan and his crew knocked out the major work we ended up needing in mere hours. We also ended up paying 25% less than other plumbers quoted. They even dealt with our nosy and cranky neighbors extremely professionally, which we really appreciated. I am blown away with the efficiency and competence of The Sewer Boyz. Easily the best hire we've made, and I will never hire another plumber again! I told Jonathan he's stuck with us for life now, haha. We will refer all of our friends and family without hesitation. If you are looking for an honest, skilled, fast, and reliable plumber, you won't find a better one than The Sewer Boyz. Just hire them and thank me later :)"

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Customer Review Had an issue with our sewer main backing up and called Always Ready Plumbing & Drain. Their team responded quickly, diagnosed the problem, and explained everything clearly. They were able to clear the sewer main and professionally install a double clean out to make future maintenance and access much easier. The crew was honest, professional, and worked efficiently while keeping everything clean. It’s hard to find plumbers you can trust, but these guys definitely delivered. Highly recommend Always Ready Plumbing & Drain for any sewer or plumbing issues!"

"Excellent Plumbing Service! I had a fantastic experience with Plymwr Plumbing. From start to finish, their team was professional, courteous, and efficient. I had an urgent issue with a clogged drain, and they were able to send someone over the same day. The plumber, Bobby was punctual and quickly diagnosed the problem. He explained the issue to me in a clear and straightforward way and fixed it in no time."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

Unforeseen expenses during plumbing projects stem from strict CA code requirements and challenging mountain terrain. Steep hillside lots require specialized equipment, adding significant labor. Upgrading older infrastructure, like replacing outdated cesspools or corroded galvanized pipes, expands the initial scope. Additionally, navigating rocky granitic soil for septic repairs demands intensive excavation. Always account for mandatory fixture efficiency upgrades triggered by local building permits.

Helpful?

Heavy winter snowfall and severe freezing temperatures dictate all plumbing requirements in Lake Arrowhead. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles stress pipe joints, making burst pipes a constant winter hazard. Rapid spring snowmelt saturates the ground, pushing moisture into crawl spaces and accelerating pipe corrosion. Furthermore, rocky granite soil makes underground trenching difficult, requiring contractors to bury lines exceptionally deep to bypass the local frost line.

Helpful?

Prepare your plumbing for winter by insulating exposed pipes and servicing outdoor hose bibs before November. Locate your main water shut-off valve to prevent emergencies during heavy Lake Arrowhead snowstorms. In spring, inspect crawl spaces for moisture intrusion and check pipes for frost cracks. During summer, clear vegetation around your septic drain field and monitor exterior supply lines for heat or sun damage.

Helpful?

Quality plumbing features proper freeze protection, including heavy insulation on all pipes in unheated spaces. Contractors must install frost-free exterior hose bibs sloped to drain correctly. After completion, verify that water pressure remains consistent and drains flow without gurgling. A professional will also provide documentation of new pipe locations and ensure all materials meet CA building standards for high-elevation climate zones.

Helpful?

Address freeze risks, active leaks, or septic system warning signs immediately. Lake Arrowhead experiences hard freezes from November through March, so you must fix stressed pipes before winter. Delaying essential plumbing creates severe property damage risks. Minor fixture upgrades or non-active slow drains wait for warmer months. Schedule water heater replacements before October, as winter weather restricts contractor access to mountain homes.
