"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

Yes, you can turn your water back on after you hire an emergency plumber and this professional completes the repairs. Your plumber probably will turn on the water for you, just to test the repairs and look for any other problems. Otherwise, if the plumber doesn’t turn it back on, it’s safe to do it yourself. Open the valve or knob slowly to prevent an unwanted rush of air from getting into your pipes.

For a fully-foamed hot tub, freezing typically occurs when the temperature drops below 28 degrees Fahrenheit and remains at or below this level continuously for a minimum of 36 hours. If your hot tub and pumps are still operational, however, the water circulates, and this continuous movement helps prevent freezing, even in very cold conditions. This circulation, along with the insulation provided by the foam, helps maintain the water temperature and prevent it from freezing during extended cold periods. Still, if you’re not planning to run it regularly, be sure to winterize the hot tub properly to prevent damage from freezing.

The best option is to alter the plumbing. Moving and centering the drain pipe behind the sink usually does the trick and creates the sleek, minimalist look that pedestal sinks offer. If you don’t want to do any plumbing work, there are a few decorating hacks:

  • Painting the pipes

  • Placing shelves, plants, or baskets in front of the pipes

  • Adding a sink skirt 

No, you should avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These chemicals, often packed with sulfuric or hydrochloric acid, can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing erosion and potential leaks. They’re also dangerous to your health. If you’re dealing with a stubborn clog, manual removal or a professional plumber is your best bet. Chemical drain cleaners can often make things worse, especially if the clog stays put and the chemicals linger in your pipes.

There are many reasons why water pipes leak. The most common reasons include clogs, broken rubber seals that deteriorate over time, corrosion on copper, brass, or galvanized pipes, and damaged pipe joints.

You might also have a leak if your water pressure is too high (usually higher than 60 psi) or if your fixtures have a crack. Moreover, natural changes in the area around your underground pipes, like growing tree roots, flooding, or earthquakes, can cause leaky water pipes.
