"Joe cleared the sink drain and turned the water off because I needed a new faucet. The old one was leaking and it was an expensive faucet so the repair would be expensive. I needed a new faucet because that one was corroded. He also checked the toilet to see if the water flow was o.k. and it was. Next I went out to Home Depot and purchased another wide spread faucet. Called Joe and he came out to install it. He is very courteous and efficient. He answered all of my questions. I would definitely hire Phill's Plumbing again."

"John the Plumber for Degennaro, was courteous and efficient. He was able to perform the job on the same day as the bid/estimate. He installed our toilets and left a very clean worksite. I would hire Degennaro again, if I have another plumbing project."

"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."

"I needed two drains cleared so I went ahead and bought an Angie's List promo coupon for $99 for $200 of service and had them snake a couple drains for me and check out some other issues I was having.  The technician who came out was Joe.  He was very knowledgeable and experienced and totally fixed my problem quickly.  If I'd known the quality of service I'd get I would have called them first before attempting to snake the first drain myself (unsuccessfully, obviously). He was also very punctual which is HUGE for me because I have to drive 30 minutes to the building to meet any contractors and I don't live there so waiting around for hours is a major problem.  I'm always apprehensive about hiring contractors I haven't previously hired but these guys were fantastic.  I'll definitely be calling them for any future plumbing issues."

"I highly recommend Nick. He responded to my request for services within minutes after the sewer line backed up into the showers and toilets. He evaluated the situation the same day and discovered roots and breakage in the sewer piping. Nick explained everything in detail along with video of the sewer pipes and let us know what work was being performed every step of the way over the course of a 3-day job. Nick is professional, fair in pricing, and extremely knowledgeable. He and his team did a great job. He also left everything spotless and clean. A few weeks later, we needed a new toilet since the original one was very old, cracked and leaking. He responded to my request within minutes and made room in his schedule to install a new toilet the very same day. Thanks again for a 2 jobs well done!"

"I had a break in my water main, leaking about a half-gallon per minute (720 gallons/day). By the time the water company inspector left, it was almost noon and I still had to find a plumber. Do It Right Plumbers scheduled me for immediate service, and Dakota was at my home that same afternoon. He restored the water service to my home, while bypassing the water main. This stopped the leak and allowed me and my family to go on with our day as if there was no water main problem. He explained my options and gave me exact prices. A lot of digging was needed, there were complications, and extra labor and hours were needed because the burst pipe was underneath the sidewalk. All of the dirt was shoveled on to protective tarps. When the water needed to be shut off, the down times were really brief. When everything was done, Dakota had not only replaced the water main, but also the water pressure regulator, the hose faucet, and all of the connections and valves. Then he replaced all of the dirt, re-planted the shrubs that had been removed during the job, and left the area looking as if nothing had happened. As for the final price, it was very fair, and exactly as he had quoted---not a penny more! I had a water main break before, and I remember how disruptive, expensive and stressful the last job was. Dakota really took a lot of the pain out of this latest ordeal. As hard as Dakota worked on the job, he worked equally hard to make this job as easy on me and my family as possible. If any future plumbing needs arise, I will be calling Do It Right Plumbers."

"Jose was great. Very professional and considerate. Arrived when he said he would and worked as quickly as possible to fix a water leak and keep us minimally inconvenienced. We felt he was honest but not pushy. Went the extra mile to address other plumbing issues we had. Highly recommend and would give more stars if available."

Plumbing questions, answered by experts

White or yellowish scale buildup around faucet bases indicates active mineral deposition from Lake Forest's hard water. This internal pipe narrowing eventually causes severe pressure problems. Unexplained wet spots in walls point to failing polybutylene pipes in homes built between 1978 and 1995. Additionally, persistent musty smells signal hidden leaks. Because the CA climate is extremely dry, any visible mold requires swift action to prevent structural damage.

Helpful?

Active water intrusion demands immediate action. In CA, a dry climate means homes lack heavy moisture barriers, and hidden leaks cause rapid mold growth that triggers strict state disclosure laws. Sewer backups and failing water heaters also require urgent replacement. Conversely, schedule minor fixture drips or slow drains caused by hard water buildup during slower winter months. Monitor water pressure fluctuations before committing to immediate repairs.

Helpful?

Monitor your utility bills for an unexplained usage increase of 10 to 15 percent, as this signals a hidden leak. Age-based milestones also dictate your schedule. Plan an assessment if your water heater is over eight years old, due to local hard water damage. Spring is the ideal time to schedule interior plumbing projects in Lake Forest, before summer heat makes attic and crawl space work uncomfortable.

Helpful?

The age of your home is the best starting point for plumbing decisions. Pre-1980s Lake Forest homes feature aging galvanized steel pipes, while 1980s properties contain copper or failure-prone polybutylene. You must also consider local hard water, which accelerates scale buildup inside pipes and fixtures. Finally, note your landscape layout. Mature trees in older neighborhoods send roots into clay sewer lines, causing blockages that require immediate attention.

Helpful?

Sewer laterals require frequent plumbing assessments in older Lake Forest neighborhoods, as mature tree roots easily infiltrate aging clay pipes. Hard water also significantly shortens the lifespan of tank water heaters to just eight to twelve years. Additionally, inspect your supply pipes. Galvanized lines in pre-1980 homes suffer from internal corrosion, while polybutylene pipes in newer CA properties degrade rapidly when exposed to chlorinated municipal water.
