Plotke Plumbing would come out every year and snake out the roots in the main line. This year they had a hard time breaking through, so I decided to have the camera run down the length of the pipe. Roots were entering the seams of the clay pipe. Giovanni did the camera inspection, which I watched while the camera went down the line. He gave me an estimate on using a combination of pipe bursting and reline. Only 2 holes were dug and no trenching. He indicated the job would take 3 days, and offered to start a few days later, since there was no backup or emergency. I have used Plotke Plumbing on big and small jobs for many years. I trust the owners and decided to go forward. The crew showed up right on time, spent the first day doing the excavation, second and third day installing the new pipe and cleaning up. I got to see the completed job by the camera that was inserted in the line for me. I think they did a good job, showed up on time, did what they said they would do and delivered the finished job at the agreed price. Nobody likes to hear that they need a big plumbing job for their home. Plotke Red Lilly works around my neighborhood all the time. They would not be in business this long if they were not doing a good work and providing good customer service.

From the beginning they were courteous, professional, well-mannered, intelligent, and communicative.My sewer line backed up at night (as these things always do), leaving me without even the ability to run the faucets, let alone use the bathroom. I called that evening (they have on-call plumbers for cases like these) and they were at my house first thing in the morning to fix it. After a video inspection of the line and an examination of the pipes (from under my very shallow, awkward craw-space) they determined that my original clay sewer pipes were the victims of massive root-intrusion. The immediately began digging down to get to the pipe so that they could cut out and replace the blocked section. The pipe turned out to travel much deeper underground than any of us expected, but they just fetched some more equipment and kept on digging. By the next day (a Saturday mind you), around eight feet of digging later, they reached the pipe and were able to open up a section for continued video inspection beyond the root intrusion. What they found was that they clay pipe had also cracked at the point where it met up with the city line, shifting it out of alignment. This is bad. The only options are to start digging up the street to replace the entire pipe all the way to the city line (which involves the city -- enough said), or use a technique to reline the interior of the pipe with a fiberglass shell (which essentially creates a new pipe without any more digging). I chose the fiberglass. By the end of the day (again, a Saturday) they had scheduled a pipe-lining contractor to start work first thing Monday morning. By mid-day Monday the fiberglass was pumped into place, and a few hours later we had a fully functional sewer line with a 50 year warranty. The whole job took several days, but Jeremy and Fabian made sure I was never without water or a toilet for more than a few hours. Though they spent most of their time digging in they dirt, they showed up each day in clean uniforms with a very pleasant demeanor, worked hard with no complaints, and safely secured the worksite before leaving each day. They even managed to preserve the foliage that covered the dig site. Thanks again guys!I have used Ford's for all my plumbing needs since I bought the house eight years ago. They have always provided me with excellent service at a reasonable price, and in a timely fashion. I certainly wouldn't hesitate to use them again, and I would encourage others to do the same."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/ca/los-angeles/ford%27s-plumbing-and-heating-reviews-379432.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"KLAUS & SONS","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"CA","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Susan L."},"reviewBody":"I've used this company many times over the past two years, probably spent over $4,000 with them.

"Memo and crew were on time and very friendly with very clear communication of my issues. We discussed alternative and, with the exposing of before unseen corrosion, I decided it most economical and expeditious to replace the old copper with pex. Naomi advised me of the preference to copper but unfortunately I was at my budget limit. The work was performed quite expertly, quickly, with tons of care to reduce the drywall repairs that will be needed after and, most importantly to me precisely on a very reasonable budget considering the amount of time and effort made to fix the issue. I will definitely be keeping MPD Plumbing in my contacts. Hopefully I won’t need them anytime soon but it’s good to have a plumber you can trust to be on time, do great work and stay on estimated budget! I’ve already gotten a request for their contact info from my neighbor after seeing them working and I’d strongly recommend anyone to give them a call when in need! Thank you MPD Plumbing!"

FAQs for sewer line repair projects in Playa Vista, CA
The average cost to snake your main sewer line is around $250 for a simple snake. Most sewer line specialists charge between $45 and $200 per hour for main sewer line snaking, so the time involved plays a major role. The price you’ll pay will depend on the severity of the clog, the item causing the backup, how long it takes to remove the item, and more. A more severe issue that requires unclogging a main sewer line will cost $3,100 on average.
Yes, most states require plumbers to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed plumber could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
You should not attempt to snake your sewer yourself. Accessing and snaking your sewer requires heavy-duty equipment, and while renting is possible, misusing it can damage your sewer main and leave you with very expensive repair costs, not to mention potential environmental issues and severe water damage. Accessing your sewer also exposes you to hazardous sewer gasses, and failing to seal the sewer properly after work can be very dangerous. It’s always best to hire a professional sewer cleaner near you to handle this type of work.
The average cost to unclog a drain is around $200, with prices ranging between $110 and $800, depending on the type of drain and the extent of the clog. Hiring a professional to snake the toilet or sink will usually cost between $110 and $275, a bathtub or shower typically costs around $225, and a main line clog can cost between $100 and $800 based on the severity of the clog and how far beyond the access point the clog sits. Since the labor involved varies, most plumbers will charge an hourly rate for drain cleaning.
The average cost to hire a plumber is around $100 an hour but can vary between $45 and $200 an hour depending on the plumber’s experience and the repair that you need. It’s also important to note that these prices can go up on holidays, and emergency plumber rates average $150 per hour, in addition to a flat-rate trip fee of $100 to $350.
