"Juan came to the house and installed a new gas valve controller for my RHEEM water heater. He honored his over the phone price quote, and did a great job. He even checked my water pressure. No run-around here, just the honest truth from True-Blue Plumbing."

"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"

"Victor responded after hours to replace 2 water pressure regulators. Had necessary equipment and completed job and checked main, ADU and house to inspect water inlets working. I would not hesitate to call for all plumbing work at both my houses. I have found a plumber I can respect and count on that charges reasonable fair prices. Will recommend him to family and friends.

"I had an under-the-sink leaky old galvanized iron drain pipe that rusted through and made a wet mess under the sink. George tried for the simpler fix first and did not open the wall. That still leaked so he opened the wall and determined that the whole section of pipe was leaking inside the wall too. This was a bigger mess but George removed the fittings etc that he had bought, cut out the bad section of iron pipe and installed a section of ABS drain pipe that won't leak, reconnected the sink drains, tested everything and we were done. He only charged me for the material used in the actual repair. He said he would use the fittings that didn't work out for me on another job. George is efficient and neat - my father in law would have approved of his cleaning up the mess as he worked instead of waiting until he was all done with gunk from the pipes, plaster dust and random crap everywhere. I will definitely call him the next time I need home maintenance help."

Plumbing FAQs, answered by experts

While some building codes allow galvanized pipe for natural gas, it shouldn’t be used for propane. Propane can cause the pipe to wear down, leading to dangerous leaks. Instead of galvanized piping for propane, you should consider coated copper, black iron, or corrugated stainless steel tubing (CSST). For underground propane line installation, you can use polyethylene (PE).

There are nearly as many handles for your outdoor faucet as there are for your indoor faucets. Just a few include:

  • Turn hose bibb handle: about $15

  • Decorative handle: range from $15 to over $100

When positioning a pot filler, it should be mounted at a height that allows for convenient access without obstructing the cooking area. A general guideline is to place it 18 to 24 inches above the stove. For a more customized height, measure your most-used pots and install the filler 5 to 10 inches above your tallest one. Regarding horizontal placement, while centering the pot filler can be aesthetically pleasing and ensure it reaches all burners, it is often safer to install it to the left or right of the cooking surface. This placement helps you avoid reaching over a hot stove and reduces the risk of the filler itself getting hot from a large boiling pot. If you do choose to center it, be careful to avoid burns.

While the toilet bowl and toilet tank require haul away to your curb, landfill, or recycling center, you can dispose of your old, used toilet seat in your regular garbage collection. If your toilet seat is plastic or duroplast, you can even recycle it instead at a local recycling facility.

This rumbling noise after flushing may sound like a hammer or knocking inside the walls. When you flush, it opens a valve so additional water can come in. However, if the valve malfunctions, then this rush of water has nowhere to go, which makes all the excess water hit your pipes and create a loud hammering sound.
