"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

Pedestal sinks typically come with two pieces: the pedestal (also known as the base or pole) and the sink basin. You may hear it referred to as a standalone sink. The sink sits on top of the pedestal, which attaches to the floor and hides the plumbing. Both pieces usually come in porcelain or ceramic. 

You’ll need two sizes of pipe to plumb a bathroom. You’ll use a 1/2-inch pressure pipe for your supply lines that run from the fixture to the larger 3/4-inch supply lines that run through the house. For drain lines, you’ll need a 3-inch PVC pipe for your toilet, a 2-inch PVC pipe for stand-alone showers, and a 1 1/2-inch pipe for a shower/tub combo and the bathroom sink. Each fixture’s drain will run to the 3-inch main drain that runs through the house.

No, fixing or patching a hole in a gas line may not seal it completely. A patch should be a temporary solution because the damaged area will be weaker than the rest of the pipe, increasing the likelihood of future leaks. Therefore, if a gas line incurs damage, call a licensed plumber and have it replaced right away.

Most toilets have a 12-inch rough-in or hole, but some have 10- or 14-inch holes, which means that not all toilets fit all setups. Knowing how to measure the rough-in is essential, so you purchase a toilet that fits the existing drain hole. It can be costly to have the rough-in moved, and most stores don’t accept toilet returns.

A water closet is a room within a bathroom where a toilet has a dedicated door for privacy. This separate space is set apart from the rest of the bathroom, allowing someone else to use the shower or sink. In some instances, there is also a small sink in the water closet for added convenience. The main benefit of a water closet is that it offers private space and can be a desirable design amenity, particularly if the bathroom is shared with others.
