"Ryan was perfectly on-time and was a plumbing scholar and a gentleman. We had a simple drain replacement under a new sink. Going to Western saved me at least another day of trying to figure out proper parts and doing the install myself, and it also saved my wife's ears from hearing my salty language."

They arrive in a clean truck that is well stocked, and best of all we don't try to charge you a ridiculous amount of money to do a so-so job.

Eventually every home or business will need some sort of plumbing service. Whether it's installing an energy-efficient tankless water heater or repairs for a leaky pipe or clogged drain, when that time comes, John's Plumbing can help. We're proud to offer outstanding plumbing services throughout the Glendale region, and we prioritize customer service and quality workmanship above all else. That means when you find yourself needing help with a gas line repair or backed-up toilet, you can count on our professionals for expert repairs, friendly service, and the fair pricing you deserve. Don't settle for less. Call John's Plumbing today!

"These people are competent but their ethics are highly questionable. I posted a job description on yelp and tendered offers from many plumbers John's Plumbing replied and agreed to do the work for a specified price. The work consisted of two parts. After they had done the first, they told me it was best to wait until the bathroom wall was tiled before doing the second and assured me they would return. After tiling was complete and I requested they come and finish the work they surprisingly told me it would cost another $500. Miscommunications can of course occur but in this case the scope of work was given to them in detail and clearly included both parts. This is not only highly unprofessional but outright dishonest. While they may be competent I would advise people to consider choosing another company for their plumbing needs that has a higher ethical standard."

Plumbing Handymen questions, answered by experts

The normal water level in a toilet bowl is about halfway full. The water should sit above the P trap drain because this creates a seal and suction. When you flush the toilet, the suction keeps sewer gases from entering your house through your toilet. Anytime the water level is higher or lower than half full, you need to make adjustments or replace broken parts.

There are several signs that can indicate you have air in your pipes, including unusual noises coming from the pipes, like banging and whistling, and inconsistent water flow and pressure. Spitting from the faucet right when you turn the water on is another indication that you might have air in the pipes.

Don’t leave frozen pipes to thaw on their own. Frozen pipes can build up extreme pressure and eventually burst if left unattended. This massive amount of water can cause thousands of dollars in damage to your home. If you don’t see any leaks, slowly warm up your pipes with indirect heating elements or warm towels. Call a plumber if you spot any damage.

A plumber costs $45 to $200 per hour, but note that they may charge a flat service fee or a minimum fee to come to your house. An apprentice charges $45 to $90 an hour, a journeyperson charges $60 to $110 an hour, while a master plumber costs $80 to $200 hourly.

If your plumbing job is complex, it’s probably best to hire a journeyperson or a master plumber.

A journeyman plumber is a licensed plumber with a state-issued permit who installs and repairs piping for water and heating systems under the supervision of a master plumber. Also known as a plumbing contractor, a master plumber is considered the highest level in this profession. In addition to passing all state-level requirements, master plumbers have several years of experience. They are allowed to lead teams, create blueprints, and design and install plumbing systems.
