Rich Schmidt

Our 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.

Fantastic 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!

Soo Hipp installed a new water softner system for us after we inquired with Eddie about the process and cost. They installed the unit and a smart monitor, as well as the needed outlet, and they drained our water heater. Any questions we had were handled quickly and the work done on time and even with a supply chain issue it was all completed in good time and the estimate was honored. This services was added on to other work and we didnt have to wait for a new work order or a new start date which is great when youre dealing with time frames where its necessary to turn off water. Our experience with them was great and I would look to them for quotes for future needs.

Roger was so nice and accommodating. I needed some plumbing help with my toilet and sink. There was a couple of huge blockages. He cleared it up, showed me what was in it, and was nice to my needy dog!

I hired Soo Hipp Plumbing to address my aging 65 year old clay main drain. I was interested in having my drains inspected after repiping my house after addressing some leaks on my old galvanized incoming water line. Seeing the condition of those old pipes, I assumed I could also be having issues with my drainpipes subject to the same subterrenean conditions. I sat with them as they ran their camera through all the drains feeding the main drain as well as the main drain itself. They were very patient and explained things thouroghly as we inspected the drains together. Most if not each connection of clay pipe had become seperated to a small degree but enough for the roots of my trees to find that drain water. I thought it best to ask them to blast those roots free and line my drains now while the issue was manageable rather than waiting for a section to collapse or become out of alignment enough to be impossible to run a drain liner through the old clay pipes. Glad I did it and have peace of mind regarding my drains. Their pricing was fair, the work was top-notch, and they are good hard working folks and easy to work with. I'd recommend Soo Hiip to anyone needing plumbing or drain repair.

Both Steven and Oblad did an amazing job they were professional, they did not attempt to hard sell additional services , they did suggest installing a clean out for present and future blockages. I felt it was reasonable. It did take most of the day to install. They ran a camera through the pipe to ensure the blockages were addressed. I am pleased with the results. The home staff was also responsive and returned phone calls and answered phone calls promptly.I will call DC plumbing in the future for future plumbing challenges , great overall experience!

I’m very grateful for Steven’s help with clearing my outdoor pipeline clogged by palm roots. He responded very promptly and showed up in about 30 minutes. Steven explained clearly my different options for managing the issues with reasonable price quotes for each, and did not lose any time in getting to resolve the pipe obstruction immediately. Thanks for the honest work that you do.

I'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!

Thank 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.

I 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.

I had two good experiences working with Clean Out Kings. A few years ago they snaked my clogged bathroom sink, and I have never had an issue since. Recently Martin looked into issues with the toilets and found downstream piping issues. Martin resolved the immediate issue but explained the bigger cause. He was thorough in the inspection and explained the issue clearly. Overall a trustworthy company.

Clean Out Kings are the only plumbers I’ll ever use again! Today Our technician Bobby was changing our water softner Brine bin and within 15 minutes he was on the road. What are the chances that in those 20 minutes or so we had a major back up in the whole house! We called Bobby and he returned to the residence and cleared his whole schedule to completely clear our main line. He also had to tell us the bad news of roots growing through our pipes near the street and even included a video of the damage! Rest assured the Clean Out Kings are giving me solutions to fix my issue and at a reasonable price. Can’t thank these guys enough for saving the day!

I have used Clean Out King’s for many years with a variety of repairs, water heater repairs and replacements, or whatever requires plumbing issues. My to go plumber is Martin. He is absolutely the best. He goes far and beyond to do what is best for his clients. He is knowledgeable, patient and transparent. This week I had the most challenging job for him. We had a slab leak in our powder room. It was a difficult task to try to figure out the problem, but Martin worked endlessly until he solved and fixed the issue. Today he came with another nice gentleman, named Raul and both worked for long hours until everything was. working perfectly. He also installed a new water pressure regulator. I highly recommend Clean Out King’s and if you request Martin you won’t be disappointed.

We 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

Awesome 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!

Clean 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.

can’t say enough great things about Drain Right! Our A/C unit was leaking and the previous estimates we received were way too expensive. Drain Right came through with excellent service at a fair price. Our technician, Mauricio, was amazing. He clearly knew what he was doing, explained everything thoroughly, and most importantly, didn’t try to upsell us on anything we didn’t need. It’s hard to find honest service like that these days. They provided same-day service and had everything repaired quickly and professionally. I highly recommend Drain Right to anyone looking for reliable, trustworthy, and efficient service!

Highly Recommend Drain Right! Eric was incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and thorough. He did a fantastic job fixing our leak, which required going through the exterior of the house and carefully patching everything afterward - his attention to detail really stood out. Thank you Eric! Efrain, his boss, was also very knowledgeable and took the time to explain things clearly, which we really appreciated. The pricing was very reasonable, especially given the quality of work and service. We would absolutely trust Drain Right with any plumbing jobs we need in the future. Reliable, skilled, and professional from start to finish!

After a clown plumber messed up my flood and drainage issue more, I called R&B Plumbing. Samuel and Lordes were excellent, professional, and right on time! They arrived the same day to diagnose the problem. After I got three estimates elsewhere, I decided to call them back and they graciously arrived the same day to solve the flood and drain blockage problem. Hardworking and dependable people who got the job done. Thank you

I 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.

I 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.​​​​​​

Extremely knowledgeable, efficient, and provided excellent service. Highly recommended.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Lakewood, California

Lakewood homeowners know that while our 'City of Tomorrow' heritage is a point of pride, the plumbing in many of our post-war homes is starting to show its age. Whether you are living in a classic mid-century tract home near the Lakewood Center or a newer development, a clogged drain is more than a nuisance—it can halt your entire day. Our service is designed to eliminate the frustration of calling plumber after plumber only to find they are booked up for a week.

We take a proactive approach to local service. By scanning our network of certified plumbers specifically in the Lakewood area, we find the pros closest to your front door. We don't just provide a list; we actually call to verify that they have an open slot and the right equipment to handle your specific drain problem. This ensures that when you get a recommendation from us, it's a guaranteed solution for your 562-area home.

From the tree-lined streets near San Jose Creek to the busy residential blocks near Mayfair Park, we understand the local infrastructure. Our goal is to connect you with a verified expert who can arrive quickly, provide a fair estimate, and get your water flowing freely again with minimal disruption to your schedule.

Common Drain Issues in Lakewood, California

Root Intrusion from Mature Trees: Lakewood is famous for its lush, mature canopy, but those old-growth roots are notorious for infiltrating aging sewer lines. These roots seek out the moisture in your pipes, causing massive blockages that require professional hydro-jetting to clear effectively.

Aging Post-War Piping: Many original homes in Lakewood still feature cast iron or clay sewer pipes from the 1940s and 50s. These materials are prone to internal scaling and corrosion over time, which catches hair and debris, leading to frequent and frustrating backups in tubs and kitchen sinks.

Hard Water Scale Accumulation: Like much of Southern California, Lakewood's municipal water has a high mineral content. Over time, calcium and magnesium build up inside your drains, narrowing the passage and making it easier for everyday waste to create a total clog.

Shifting Soil and Pipe Bellies: The soil composition in the Lakewood area can shift during our dry-to-wet seasonal cycles. This movement can cause older pipes to 'belly' or sag, creating a low spot where sediment and grease collect, eventually leading to a full-blown emergency backup.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Lakewood, California

Prepare for Winter Rains: Before the Southern California rainy season begins, clear out your area drains and backyard grates. Lakewood's flat topography can lead to localized pooling if your exterior drainage system is blocked by summer debris.

Holiday Kitchen Care: During the heavy hosting season in Lakewood, avoid putting any fats, oils, or fibrous vegetables like celery down the disposal. Older Lakewood pipes are particularly sensitive to grease solidification, which is the leading cause of holiday plumbing calls.

Summer Root Maintenance: Tree roots grow most aggressively toward water sources during our dry Lakewood summers. If you've noticed slow drains in the spring, schedule a camera inspection in July to prevent a major sewer collapse in the fall.

Spring Sump Pump Test: If your home has a crawlspace or a basement area, test your drainage pump in early spring. Ensuring the discharge lines are clear of silt and debris will keep your home dry during those late-season Pacific storms.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Lakewood, California

$165-$475

Costs in Lakewood typically depend on the accessibility of the clog and the technology required. A simple sink snake is more affordable, while main line clearing or hydro-jetting for root removal falls on the higher end of the spectrum.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Lakewood, California

How do you verify which Lakewood plumbers are actually available?

Once you provide your zip code, we filter our local Lakewood network and physically call the technicians to confirm they have an open appointment window today. You only get connected with someone who is ready to work.

What is the most common cause of clogged drains in Lakewood?

In Lakewood's older neighborhoods, tree root intrusion into clay pipes and the buildup of mineral scale in original cast iron lines are the most frequent causes of serious drainage issues.

Do I need a permit for drain cleaning in Lakewood?

Standard drain cleaning and snaking do not require a permit. However, if a camera inspection reveals that a section of your sewer line needs to be replaced, our verified plumbers will help you navigate the City of Lakewood's permit process.

Are your plumbers familiar with the 1950s-era plumbing in Lakewood?

Yes, we prioritize plumbers who have extensive experience working in the Long Beach/Lakewood area and understand the unique challenges of post-war residential infrastructure.

Can I get emergency 24-hour drain cleaning in Lakewood?

Absolutely. Our service operates 24/7, and we specifically look for 'on-call' verified plumbers in Lakewood who can handle midnight backups or weekend emergencies.
