Top Rated Plumbers in Alhambra, California
Premier 1 Plumbing, Inc.
120 E Santa Anita Ave, Burbank, CA 91502, USA
(818) 284-5755The kitchen sink had been backing up for a week and a simple snake wasnt doing anything for the grease buildup in those old Burbank pipes. Alexis in the office was great at setting up everything and it was all on time which started the experience off right. Junior showed up and explained how the hydrojet would actually clear the walls of the pipe instead of just poking a hole in the clog. He was careful not to make a mess under the cabinets and the drains are flowing better than they have in years.
2 months agoI noticed some weird damp spots in the yard near the main line and was dreading having the whole lawn dug up for a repair. Alexis was great at communicating the entire trenchless pipe repair process and walked me through how they could reline the existing pipe from the inside instead. It was actually pretty cool to see the camera footage of the roots and then hear exactly how the epoxy liner would seal everything up without a backhoe ruining my landscaping. Having someone who actually explains the timeline and the tech behind the fix made me feel way more confident about the whole investment.
2 months agoJunior explained that a standard snake was only going to poke a small hole in the clog and that I really needed a full hydrojetting in Pasadena to actually scrub the pipe walls. He showed me the before and after on the monitor and you could see a huge difference in how much gunk was removed from the main line. It is cool to see a technician who actually has the right high pressure equipment to do the job properly instead of just doing a temporary fix. The drains have never flowed this fast since we moved in.
2 months agoDrip Too Hard Plumbing
3900 W Alameda Ave #1426, Burbank, CA 91505, USA
(818) 208-7209We had a full house drain backup that hit us out of nowhere, and it turned into a real emergency fast. Toilets, sinks everything was backing up at the same time. We’re in Burbank, near Castaway, and it was one of those situations where you can’t wait until the next day. I called Drip Too Hard Plumbing, and they responded immediately. They showed up prepared, explained what was going on step by step, and got straight to work. You could tell they’ve handled these kinds of backups before calm, professional, and focused on fixing the problem the right way, not just rushing through it. They ran the drain line, cleared the blockage, and made sure the entire system was flowing properly again before packing up. No mess left behind, no pressure, no upselling — just solid work when we needed it most. If you’re in Burbank and need a plumber near you, especially for an emergency drain issue or a whole house backup, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. They came through when it mattered.
4 months agoI recently had to deal with an unexpected plumbing emergency at one of my rental units in the Starlight Hills area of Burbank off Kenneth Rd, and Drip Too Hard Plumbing came through for me in a huge way. My tenant called late in the evening about a major backup, and I needed someone trustworthy to handle it fast since I couldn’t get there myself. I searched for a Burbank plumber and reached out to DTHP, and they immediately set the tone with clear communication and real professionalism. They went out the same day, performed a full emergency sewer line inspection, showed my tenant exactly what was happening in the line, and then completed a hydro jetting service on the spot to clear the issue before it got any worse. What stood out most was how calm, respectful, and transparent they were with both me and my tenant no pressure, no fear tactics, just real solutions. You can genuinely feel their DTHPromise in the way they operate: on time, clean work, straight answers, and no surprises on the bill. If you’re anywhere in Burbank and searching for a plumber near me, or need help with a sewer backup, drain issue, or hydro jetting, I honestly can’t recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing enough. They made a stressful situation incredibly easy, and my tenant was taken care of from start to finish.
5 months agoI recently hired Drip Too Hard Plumbing for a Google Shower Valve upgrade at my home in Burbank Hillside, and I couldn’t be happier with the service. Harry arrived right on time, was professional, and handled the installation with great attention to detail. He made sure everything was working perfectly and even walked me through how the new valve operates. As someone who’s used multiple plumbers in the area, I can confidently say this team is reliable, knowledgeable, and courteous. If you’re looking for a skilled plumber near me in Burbank or the Hillside area, I highly recommend Drip Too Hard Plumbing. From smart home upgrades to standard plumbing services, they provide excellent service every time. Harry and the team make sure the job is done right, on time, and stress-free. Definitely a company I’ll be calling for all future plumbing needs!
3 months agoBarbosa Plumbing & Sewer
1115 N Wilmington Ave, Compton, CA 90222, USA
(310) 482-0326Our mainline backed up and we needed hydro-jet service to clear out years of root growth. I got a $950 quote from a major plumbing firm that I won't mention by name. I went onto Yelp and Barbosa Plumbing responded quickly with a $350 bid. Based on their Yelp reviews I took a leap of faith and hired them. They communicated with me on the day of service and arrived on schedule. It was a 2 man crew that did a great job, very professional. I watched the whole thing go down on their video monitor and got a copy of it to show the wife. I'm going to tell her it was my colonoscopy. I could not be happier with the service and outcome. They also cleaned up the area before they left, which was appreciated. Highly recommended.
3 months agoFantastic experience! They arrived early on a Sunday and used their camera to find the blockage in my main sewer line. I watched on the video as they hydrojetted it and pushed the roots out. They also pointed out cracks in the line in another spot under street and suggested I have the city fix it before it collapses. I got way more info from them about my line than from any previous plumber. All done courteously in less than an hour. I would definitely recommend Barbosa!
5 months agoI can’t say enough great things about Barbosa Plumbing! He consistently goes above and beyond, and the quality of his work is truly top-notch. Every job he’s done for me has been handled with professionalism and efficiency. Its great to know I have someone I can always count on, no matter how big or small the issue is. He’s reliable, honest, and extremely knowledgeable. Anytime I need plumbing help, he is my go-to without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone who delivers excellent service and peace of mind, look no further. Highly, highly recommended!
6 months agoGraham Plumbing and Drain Cleaning, Inc.
272 Gemini Ave, Brea, CA 92821, USA
(888) 828-3872I've used the Graham Plumbing services for the past 8 years for all my plumbing issues and have never been disappointed. This time I had a major clog affecting my shower, sink and toilet. They quickly discovered the where and why it was clogged and clearly explained the process of the necessary descaling and hydro jetting of that main line as well as the risk when dealing with 70 year old pipes. The work was successful and I'll continue to use and recommend Graham Plumbing. Job well done!
3 months agoThank you Sean! My range is no longer sticking out . I had recently upgraded my range due to the last one breaking but unfortunately the gas line behind the stove was actually protruding and didn't allow the new range to fit properly. It was sticking out about 5-6 inches and looked around to find a reputable plumber to help us out. I contacted a few and many of them told me they didn't do residential work or anything "small". Randomly I was on Nextdoor and asked if anyone knew any good plumbers and 12/20 responded with Graham Plumbing so I figured I'd give them a shot. Right away Reagan set me up with an appointment and even if we had to reschedule I really appreciate that she left multiple voicemails to get to me. On Monday I had Sean come look at the site and see what could be done and right away he told me what would be the best solution. He first checked the water pressure, smart meter and water heater to see that everything was running fine. He then noted a few problems and gave me different options for what he could do. It was nice to know that Sean was quick at pointing out things that our home inspector had told us to repair in our home report. So I knew that Sean was the real deal and wasn't just trying to get us to add more unnecessary projects to the gig. I appreciated the different cost effective options but I opted for the best one, which included everything that we planned to get repaired anyway. It was nice to just get it all done in one full swoop than to have to do it in parts. Sean was very pleasant and took the time to care for our appliances, cabinets and furniture. He also took the time to explain the process and steps as he went. He also showed me what I needed to do when the gas line shut off due to the earthquake shut-off valve and it was nice to know I could explain it to my husband afterwards. He cleaned up and left the place spotless too. Overall, my experience and impression was pretty positive and I know I will 100% contact them again for any other updates or issues. Thank you so much. Prices were also really fair and reasonable considering all the work that was done.
5 months agoI have used Graham Plumbing twice now. They're employees are respectful and get right to work. This time they cleaned up the maze of pipes that were under my sink and installed my faucet. Now I know I can install the faucet myself but with the maze and sizes of my pipes I felt, if something should go wrong, I would not have the right tools to fix it.
7 months agoClean Out Plumbing & Rooter
321 E 4th Ave, La Habra, CA 90631, USA
(562) 579-5294We had a shower drain that was becoming progressively slow. I attempted to snake it myself a couple times as I am usually able to clear it, but this time no luck. Called Clean Out, quickly got a response and Bryant showed up on time as promised. After repeated attempts, he took a look further and determined that it was likely a partially blocked old galvanized/cast iron pipe which is exactly what it turned out to be. Nobody likes plumbing problems, but these guys responded quickly, assessed the issue, provided me with options, set expectations so that there would be no surprises, provided a great service and stood behind their work with a 5 year warranty. On top of that, Marco (the owner) followed up a few days later to see if I was happy with the work. All of this at what I felt was a fair price for the amount of work that needed to be done. Honesty, good work, and a fair price. That's what you want in a plumbing service. I would certainly use them again and would recommend them in a second. Mauro Livi
5 months agoAwesome experience this morning with clean out plumbing. It’s Saturday 7 AM and all of our drains start to back up. I called Christopher and he was able to come out within a couple hours. He is very knowledgeable and was thorough in his assessments. He took a lot of time to answer questions, and in the end, quoted me several options, all at very reasonable prices. I totally recommend this company for any drain and plumbing needs!
5 months agoClean Out Plumbing was great. We had some significant issues with our sewer line and after a few companies came out to give us a quote, we decided to go with Clean Out. Erick and his crew were excellent. He clearly explained the work they would do and some of the challenges that could potentially come up. He was honest through the whole process. The price was much more reasonable than some of the others. I will definitely use them again when we are in need.
5 months agoPlumber 007 Plumbing Services Paramount
16211 Downey Ave UNIT 17, Paramount, CA 90723, USA
(562) 242-2124Plumber 007 Plumbing Services Paramount did a fantastic job for us! The technician arrived right on time and was both friendly and professional. We were really worried because we’re selling our house in Paramount, had an inspection scheduled soon, and the kitchen sink was completely clogged. Another plumbing company had come out before but couldn’t fix the issue—they just told us to call someone else. Luckily, we got an appointment for the next morning. The technician quickly found the problem and fixed it. It turned out the previous plumber hadn’t reconnected the water pipe properly, which left water pooling under our sink. Everything works perfectly now. I highly recommend this company and will definitely call them again for any plumbing needs. The workers really know what they’re doing and look ready to handle any job. Very satisfied with the service!
8 months agoI have relied on local plumbers in Paramount for several years to help me take care of plumbing issues in the office and clinic buildings I manage. Every time I have a plumbing problem, their technicians are quick to figure out what’s wrong and suggest the best way to fix it. Recently, a plumber and their helper came out to reset a toilet in one of our clinics. While they were working, I also asked them to look at a leaking drain pipe in the space below the clinic. The technician checked out the leak, then went to the truck to grab the right parts and tools to get the repair done. What really impressed me was how neat and organized the plumber’s truck was—it was the cleanest, most organized work truck I’ve ever seen in any trade. Even though plumbing can be a messy job, their attention to keeping things tidy and well-ordered gave me even more confidence in choosing them for plumbing services. They did an excellent job that day, and the professionalism really stood out. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs in Paramount.
8 months agoI've had to call for emergency plumbing help twice, and both times I was able to get same-day service. The plumbers even arrived earlier than expected after checking with me first to make sure it was okay. Every plumber who came out was friendly and took the time to explain my options, providing several quotes so I could make the best choice for my situation. The repairs were finished quickly, the price was fair, and they left my home clean with no mess. I also noticed that newer plumbers were learning on the job alongside experienced technicians, and the senior plumber did a great job teaching and guiding them. It’s obvious this company cares about doing quality work and making sure their team is well-trained. Highly recommend for any plumbing needs!
8 months agoDrainflow Solutions & Plumbing
454 Shrode Ave, Duarte, CA 91010, USA
(626) 394-3852It was a pleasure working with Uzziel, Adrian, and their team. They quickly diagnosed the root intrusion in our sewer line, offered a fair and affordable price, and completed the repair efficiently. They provided before and after videos of the job and ensured our concerns were addressed. The entire team was professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. I would confidently recommend them to anyone in need of sewer line services.
3 months agoUzziel Ambriz from DrainFlow Solutions & Plumbing did an excellent job installing my Navien NPE-240A2 tankless water heater. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the installation process clearly. The work was done efficiently and with great attention to detail. Everything functions perfectly, and the workspace was left clean. I highly recommend Uzziel for anyone looking for a licensed, reliable plumber who takes pride in his work.
4 months agoUsed drain flo for a hydro jetter today, I have to say that I am very pleased with the service that Uziel has provided. Great work ethic and doesn’t give up even when the situation gets tough. 5 stars for this man 💪🏽
2 months agoConover Plumbing & Mechanical
3811 Dublin Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90008, USA
(310) 821-6200Brandon at Conover Plumbing is excellent! Prompt arrival, quick and efficient service. Very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Drain cleared in a few minutes. Will definitely call them again.
2 months agoGreat experience! Kitchen sink wasn’t draining. Alex was able to come out same day and fix the issue in 30 mins. Very fair price.
8 months agoI had my cleanout replaced by another plumber who said everything was fine, but eight months later my line completely blocked and he stopped answering my calls. Conover Plumbing came out right away, cleared the line, and showed me photos proving the pipe was never properly replaced and was still full of roots. Alex and Cleto were honest, fast, and professional. I trust them and highly recommend Conover Plumbing!
5 months agoHigh Speed Rooter & Plumbing
3831 Arden Dr, El Monte, CA 91731, USA
(626) 669-3175They did a great Job pumping our septic tank. They arrived within an hour of talking with Frank on the phone. The job was completed within 30 minutes of the truck arriving. The final price was very reasonable and was slightly lower than what he had estimated on the phone. Frank followed up with a no cost evaluation of the tank. No high pressure sales just explaned the conditioni of the tank and some optionial modifications if they become necessary in the future. All in all very happy with the service, honesty, and professionalism.
2 months agoI had initially contacted Robert about a pipe burst for my sewer line, and after getting quotes from over a dozen different rooter companies, I have decided that Robert seemed the most helpful, easygoing, and willing to answer my various questions about the process. At the time, I wasn’t ready to proceed, so I kept in contact with Robert for 3 months, during this time, I’ve also called him about other questions I had, even questions my friends had, and he was always patient and willing to advise me on my concerns. This reaffirmed me that this company is the right choice. Ultimately I was ready to proceed with the project and Frank became my main contact, he was professional, willing to work with my schedule, and took plenty of pictures during the process to reassure me. I would overall recommend this company, as I felt that they will be people I can continue to reach out to if I had any future questions!
2 months agoThe house is at least 70 years old and most of the pipes are the original galvanized. We discovered an extremely bad water loss and we put in a call. They found the main issue and then showed us pictures of many more. As you can tell from the pictures, a nearly full plumbing replacement job took place. These guys were incredibly thorough and knowledgeable, being very forthright with sharing that knowledge. They made sure to keep us informed the entire job. They explained any and all questions we had. Long story short, they worked long hours for a week to get this job done. Jovanny, and the entire crew were excellent! Especially with all the under the house work that had to be done. They had to crawl around for hours under the house like classic tunnel rats. I would definitely recommend their service to anyone needing any kind of plumbing work.
2 months agoA-1 Total Service Plumbing
640 S Atlantic Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90022, USA
(323) 643-2844I want to start by saying that both Jose (the plumber) and Alice (assistant/administrator) we're both easy to work with and polite. At the end of the day my drainage was fixed but I have two issues. Pics of the issue and before/after below as well. 1) Jose showed up and diagnosed the problem quickly, he then told me to wait while he puts together an estimate. After a few minutes he says it's going to be $975?! For removing the water, cutting out some of the pipe and replacing it so that he can snake it properly. I said no way that should cost $975 and asked how much is the "water removal" he said $100!! After a lot of back and forth and me saying I needed to get a second estimate from another plumber he told me they could fix it for $475 (and I now had to take out the water myself to save money, which I did and it only took 5-min...). I really wish I didn't have to barter to get a decent price (I assume I still got over charged). Ridiculous that after a few minutes of talking they dropped the price by more than 50% off what he quoted 5 minutes prior. Don't let these guys take advantage of you, if you use them, definitely get a second opinion and negotiate. 2) This is way less minor, but I did try to book through the online "Booking" link. I didn't hear back for about 8-hours until I had to call directly. If I hadn't called I don't think I would've gotten a response. This is not a big deal, but it did delay me getting everything fixed by a day, which is a slight annoyance.
8 months agoI recently had an excellent experience with this plumbing service and would highly recommend them. The plumber arrived on time and conducted himself with complete professionalism throughout the appointment. He was clearly knowledgeable about the work that needed to be done and explained everything thoroughly. What impressed me most was his efficiency and independence—he worked quickly and skillfully without needing constant supervision or guidance. Upon completing the job, he took the time to circle back with me to ensure the service met my expectations and addressed my needs completely. The payment process was seamless. He handled the transaction professionally and promptly sent my receipt via email. Before leaving, he asked if there was anything else I needed, demonstrating genuine customer care. An unexpected but reassuring touch was that he remained parked in his van outside for an additional 15-20 minutes, likely handling paperwork or contacting other customers. This gave us peace of mind knowing that if any issues arose with the work, he was immediately available to address them. Fortunately, the service was perfect and we didn’t need him, but his accessibility was greatly appreciated. I will absolutely be using this plumber again for any future needs.
4 months agoWorking with Esteban was a great experience! I had a last-minute, very time-sensitive plumbing emergency, and they were able to arrive within 40 minutes of my call and fully resolve the issue. I had been trying to get this fixed with other plumbers over the past couple of years, and Esteban was able to sort it out in just a few hours. Extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and provided excellent service. Highly recommended.
3 months agoProfessional Drain Cleaning in Alhambra, California
Alhambra, the 'Gateway to the San Gabriel Valley,' is a city where historic charm meets modern convenience. However, that charm often extends to the plumbing systems of our older Craftsman and Spanish Colonial homes. Whether you are living in a classic bungalow near the Main Street shopping district or a newer development toward the hills, drain issues are an inevitable part of home maintenance in our community.
Finding a plumber who is actually available when you have a backup can be a frustrating game of phone tag. With 15 local plumbing experts in the area, the options are there, but the availability isn't always guaranteed. That is where we come in. We don't just give you a list; we proactively filter our network by your specific Alhambra zip code and call the technicians ourselves to confirm they can solve your drain issue today.
Common Drain Issues in Alhambra, California
Older Pipe Deterioration: Many of Alhambra's residential tracts feature original cast iron or clay sewer lines. Over the decades, these materials can corrode, scale, or even collapse, leading to persistent slow drains that require more than just a simple plunger to fix.
Invasive Tree Roots: The lush, tree-lined streets that make Alhambra so beautiful also pose a threat underground. The root systems of mature Ficus and Oak trees are notorious for seeking out moisture in sewer pipes, causing significant blockages and potential pipe bursts if not cleared via professional hydro-jetting.
Kitchen Grease Buildup: Alhambra is home to a world-class food scene, and that love for cooking often translates to heavy use of kitchen sinks. Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) can solidify inside your pipes over time, creating stubborn clogs that trap other debris and eventually lead to a complete stoppage.
Hard Water Mineral Scaling: Like much of the San Gabriel Valley, Alhambra deals with hard water. Over time, calcium and magnesium deposits can build up inside your plumbing, narrowing the diameter of your pipes and making it easier for hair and soap scum to cause a backup.
Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Alhambra, California
Post-Rainstorm Inspection: During heavy Southern California rain events, Alhambra’s storm and sewer systems can become taxed. Check your floor drains after a storm to ensure there is no backflow entering your home.
Pre-Holiday Maintenance: Before hosting a large gathering for the holidays, have your kitchen drains professionally snaked. The extra load on your garbage disposal and sink is the leading cause of emergency plumbing calls in November and December.
Summer Root Control: Roots grow most aggressively during Alhambra’s dry summer months as they search for water. A preventative sewer camera inspection in July can help you catch root intrusion before it causes a major backup.
Spring Pipe Flushing: Make a high-pressure water flush part of your spring cleaning routine. This helps clear out the mineral scale and grease that may have accumulated over the winter months, keeping your lines clear for the rest of the year.
Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Alhambra, California
The cost for drain cleaning in Alhambra generally depends on the severity of the blockage and the equipment required. A simple sink snaking is on the lower end, while main sewer line clearing or hydro-jetting may cost more.
Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Alhambra, California
How quickly can a plumber arrive at my Alhambra home?
By filtering our network by zip code and calling to verify current schedules, we can typically find a verified Alhambra plumber who can be at your door within 2 to 4 hours.
Are there 24-hour drain cleaning services available in Alhambra?
Yes, many of the 15 plumbers in our local network offer 24/7 emergency services. We personally call them to confirm they are actually on-duty before we connect you to ensure immediate help.
What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Alhambra?
In Alhambra's older neighborhoods, tree root intrusion and aging cast iron pipes are the primary culprits. In newer commercial and residential areas, grease and hair buildup are more common.
Do I need hydro-jetting or just a standard snaking?
A standard snake is great for hair or soap clogs. However, for the heavy root intrusion and grease buildup common in Alhambra, hydro-jetting is often the more effective, long-term solution. Our pros can perform a camera scan to decide.
How do you verify that the plumber can solve my specific issue?
When we call the plumbers in our Alhambra network, we don't just ask if they're free; we explain your specific drain problem (like a main line backup or a kitchen clog) to ensure they have the right tools on their truck for a same-day fix.
