We are a family owned & operated plumbing company offering a variety of services. Our skills range from emergency sewer cleaning to high class bathroom remodels. Because we are a small family owned business we have significantly less overhead that some of our larger competitors so we can offer lower prices.

"Excellent. Highly recommended"

"While I was painting behind my stove I bent down next to the gas line and actually felt air blowing from a hole in the line onto my cheek--but the air was natural gas. I knew I had smelled some gas, but I kept assuming it was the pilot light. Nope, it was a huge leak in the gas line. No wonder I felt light-headed. I called So Cal Gas to come check it out and their tech replaced the line, but when he tested the pressure on the gas line in the whole house there was still a significant leak. Yikes. The gas company shut off the gas to the entire house, so no cooking, no hot water for showers or laundry. I called another different plumbing company who charged $99 to do an initial visit--wherein they wanted me to sign paperwork for a $600 test of the gas line--but on the first visit they didn't do any work, so I would need to schedule another appointment for a few days later for the gas line test. More cold showers for me. I was informed that if they would cap all of the appliances, then if the line was still leaking, all the horizontal lines would need to be replaced which would be about $9,000, then if that didn't work, all the vertical lines would be replaced for about another $2,000. So upwards of $11k. I asked around and everyone told me they thought that was too high, so I started looking and I found good reviews on Angi for Andy Castillo Plumbing. Their technician, Gus, came out the next day, and immediately went to work. Their gas line test was about $300--so HALF what the other company was charging, and there was no $99 initial visit fee. Gus replaced all five of the interior gas lines and old valves to see if that would hold pressure (and to bring the lines up to code, which they definitely were not). IT WORKED!! Instead of spending $11,000, the entire job cost about $900. Gus checked the line for pressure multiple times to make sure it was holding, then he did it again in front of me, so I could see that it had been repaired. When the gas company inspectors came, they said the line was solid, and they restored my gas!! The entire time Gus was there, he explained everything he was doing and why he was doing it, in clear terms. When I asked him how much it might be if he needed to replace all the gas lines (if the pressure didn't hold), he told me it would be around $3,000--which is almost A QUARTER of what the other company would have charged for the same service. My old plumber retired and I've been looking for someone reliable, honest and skilled to do periodic work on my 110 year old house--and now I found him. Gus is amazing, this company has honest, kind, clear, skilled plumbers, and they are now my new plumbers! (and there have been about four other companies I tried before them for other plumbing jobs, so I don't say that lightly.)"

"We had three different companies give us estimates on a new furnace, as well as possibly adding a/c. The last company was Alps which we discovered through Costco. Allen came over to give the estimate, and he was very informative and explained everything very thoroughly. He took the time to measure all the rooms inside the house to accurately determine what size of unit would be needed. At first, we had decided to do both heating and a/c, signing the contract and writing a check. Couple days later, we changed our minds and only had the furnace installed. Allen and his office worked with Costco in order to change the contract, and also to refund our money for the cancelled a/c part of the job. They did an excellent installation, finishing everything in one day. I would highly recommend Alps based on our experience."

Pipease, Inc - Repipe & More was initially established in San Fernando, California by the Peralta Brothers. Through a combined effort the brothers managed to gather all of the industry's best repipers and form Pipease. As strong company we pay EXTRA attention to detail and give 100% to all of our projects. We made a promise to every single one of our potential customers when we opened our doors for business. And that promise was to treat every single job as if it was our first.

"The crew arrived on time, and let me know whenever they needed to turn off the water, and announced when they were almost done so I could plan out my day. They hauled away the old water heater which saved us a lot of time and effort to remove. Overall very professional and reasonably priced."

Water Softeners questions, answered by experts

Softened water prevents scale deposits, reducing appliance wear, leading to energy savings and longer-lasting household fixtures.

You can install a water softener system by turning off the water supply, draining the water, and then connecting your device to the waterline. Next, you’ll fill your tank with the recommended amount of salt or brine (whichever your unit calls for; be sure to read the instructions). Turn the water supply on and check for leaks. You can opt to let your water run for a few minutes, then test it using strips. 

The process of inspecting your water softener system is similar.

It’s sometimes possible to install a water softener yourself, but it’s usually better to hire a water softener professional to get the job done. Water softeners involve plumbing and electrical work, which usually require permits and a certified expert to sign off on the work. Not only is it dangerous to work with these utility lines, but it’s also not legal in many areas. Plus, improper installation or system sizing might not fix your hard water issue and could lead to an increased risk of leaks, fires, and other property damage. 

Routine maintenance involves recharging the resin bed with salt or potassium, cleaning components, and periodic inspection.

It’s unlikely that hard water on its own could cause substantial hair loss or damage, though it’s true that bathing in hard water can cause your scalp to feel itchy or flaky and might dull your hair’s natural shine. Using high-quality shampoo and conditioner or buying a whole-home water softener can decrease these issues.
