"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

Sometimes a leaky faucet is simply the fault of a washer gone bad. Follow these steps to change the washer:

  • Shut off the water to the faucet

  • Remove the screw and handle

  • Remove the packing nut and washers

  • Clean and replace washers 

  • Reinstall the packing nut and handle

Water pressure for residential homes falls between 40 and 60 pounds per square inch (PSI). This range works well for everyday water use in most households. And while some homes have water pressure higher than 60 psi, once the pressure reaches 80 psi or more, it can lead to increased wear and tear on your plumbing system.

The Thanksgiving holiday period is one of the busiest times of the year for plumbers. Both Thanksgiving Day and the day after, often called Black Friday or "Brown Friday" by plumbing professionals, see a significant increase in service requests. This is because a house full of guests, large holiday meals, and unfamiliarity with the home's plumbing can lead to clogged drains, garbage disposal issues, and sewer line backups. Outside of the holidays, the busiest weekdays for plumbers are typically Monday and Tuesday, as many people discover plumbing problems over the weekend but wait to call for service. Despite the holiday, you can rest assured that many plumbers work on Thanksgiving and Black Friday to handle the surge in emergency calls.

Different plumbing systems may sound different when a pipe is about to burst, so sounds alone are not a definitive indication of a burst pipe. However, dripping sounds indicate a leaking pipe, and there’s a thin line between a small leak and a bursting overflow. Metallic sounds like clanging and rattling are common when a pipe bursts, though they can also indicate a normally functioning hot water system.

The first step to clearing the air in a line is to locate the cause. This is usually a blockage in either the drain or the venting system. Once you clear the issue, flush the system by actually flushing the toilets repeatedly. This should allow the trapped air to escape, thus clearing the lines. Don’t be surprised if there is increased bubbling as the air makes its way through the system.
