"Friendly Yet Professional While other plumbers took less than a minute to evaluate the issue, Juan took his time and explained what was required to fix the problem. He even recommended that I call DWP to replace the street shut-off valve. The work was done in a timely manner by Giovanni. They did a great job at a reasonable price. True Blue will be my first call the next time I need a plumber."

"We have worked with many plumbers in Los Angeles, and our experience with GMC Plumbing was by far the best. They are responsive, honest and trustworthy. They did a great job and helped us avoid paying the thousands of dollars other plumbers told us would be needed to fix the problem. We highly recommend them"

"A first time apartment owner and landlord, I needed major plumbing services within the first 6 months of ownership. The first time was a series of gas leaks which were quickly repaired by Western Rooter. The second time was the significant work of adding 2 gas meters and the requisite task of re-routing/adding gas piping. I simply cannot recommend Daniel Westereng and Western Rooter enough. Although the owner John came out to assist in the final bid, Daniel and I worked consistently with SoCal Gas to coordinate the improvements. Daniel was quick to return texts, calls, e-mails and worked diligently with all the parties to get the job done. If you need a plumber, save time and call Western Rooter. Tell them to send Daniel Westereng and he will do a fantastic job!"

"I recently had a gas leak scare and called L.A. Plumbing pros. He was fantastic! The plumber who came out his name was Victor he was professional, communicative, and very efficient. He was able to quickly locate the source of the gas leak and explained everything clearly throughout the process. I felt confident in his expertise and appreciated his willingness to answer all my questions. The repair itself was done promptly and the work area was left clean afterwards. I highly recommend L.A. Plumbing pros for any plumbing needs, especially if you suspect a gas leak. Their fast response, clear communication, and quality service were all top-notch!"

"George was great. He helped us with installing a new faucet that also required some pipe repair work. He’s very skilled and quickly found the best solution. All the work was done perfectly, and he had other ideas that enhanced everything. Highly recommend. I’ll be working with him on other projects for our house."

"I have a Rinnai tankless water hater that was not supplying us with hot water, and 2 different plumbers had tried to improve it already. Sev came out and told me Leon Plumbing is backed by the Rinnai company. What a relief! He explained to me the issue and why the things the previous plumbers did made no difference. He was very clear and informative the whole time and even told me my Rinnai needs servicing annually and would reach out when that time comes so I don't forget. Our hot water is running again and I will gladly use Sev at Leon Plumbing again. Professional, friendly, and communicative."

Affordable Plumbers FAQs, answered by experts

While technically possible, it is unlikely that a clogged toilet will fix itself. Clogs caused by water-soluble materials like toilet paper or human waste may eventually break down in the water, allowing flow to resume. However, this can take time, and any clogs from solid objects require manual removal. In most scenarios, especially if you don't have another bathroom, it is best to fix the clog yourself or call a plumber.

It is generally safe to stay in a house that smells like sewage for a short time, but you should get the problem fixed as soon as possible. While the level of sewer gas is usually low enough to only cause minor symptoms, prolonged inhalation can lead to headaches, nausea, or respiratory irritation. High levels of gas exposure can be more dangerous, and high concentrations of methane—a component of sewer gas—can pose an explosion risk in enclosed spaces. If you smell sewer gas in your home, ventilate the area and call a professional to locate, assess, and fix the problem, as it will not go away on its own.

Yes, you can technically use a utility knife or straight blade to cut through PEX pipe. However, this isn't an ideal method simply because you won't get the same clean cut that you'll get with a pipe cutter. A utility knife will likely create angles that weaken your push connections. If you use a utility knife, score the pipe with the knife along your marked line several times before making your final cut.

Some older homes have toilets in the basement to combat sewage backups. This type of toilet, also known as a Pittsburgh potty, acted as a safety valve over the incoming sewer line. If a line backed up, it would back up into the toilet because it was the lowest fixture in the home, keeping it out of sight and away from the finished areas of the house.

Basement toilets were also used by workers with messy jobs, like those who worked in coal mines or steel mills. This way, they could clean up and avoid tracking dirt through their home.

The first thing to consider when converting a tub into a shower is whether you’d like to simply change out the tub or undertake a complete bathroom remodel. If you’re unsure, reviewing bathroom remodeling ideas can help you decide whether you’re satisfied with your space or could use a change. From there, decide if you’ll handle the job yourself or hire a pro, and then set a budget.
