Expert Drain Cleaning in San Buenaventura, CA

Rex Thomas has been our go-to guy for every kind of plumbing work on our family's two houses over the last 22 years. We give him our highest recommendation. He is a very experienced, very competent, hard-working, full service plumber. Over the years we have hired Rex to install trenchless sewer lines, new fresh water lines, new toilets, sinks and showers, on -demand water heaters (requiring water, gas, and electrical connections), repairs of sewer vent piping, a rainwater drainage system, a water line to our new refrigerator's ice machine, and more for us. He refurbished vintage faucets in our old historic house. Our family's other house has a concrete slab foundation, which poses extra challenges for plumbing repair work. Rex did a great job dealing with major plumbing repairs to that house, installing a new sewer line, new toilets, sink and shower drains, and a yard drainage system. That job included lots of excavation and pouring new concrete, and using a camera on a snake to locate and diagnose hidden problems in buried pipes. Other duties as assigned: We also hired Rex to demolish and remove old asphalt and concrete features we found buried in our yard. One Thanksgiving we did the classic bone head trick of clogging our kitchen sink with potato peelings, and Rex came out on a holiday to clear our drain. And he has provided periodic maintenance (de-scaling and filter replacement) for our on - demand water heaters. Rex is honest and conscientious. He is good at explaining what a job will entail before he starts work. And he typically provides detailed documentation of his work on invoices after he is done. His rates are fair and he is worth every penny.

Since 2008 when I bought my fixer-upper house, Rex has been helping me with ALL of my plumbing problems. Rex has been and is the most honest, reliable plumber I have ever known. I trust Rex implicitly. He always quotes a fair price before each project and frankly, after knowing him all this time, I will pay whatever prices. They are very reasonable. I have great a respect for his work ethic; About 5 summers (or so) ago, some corroded pipes required replacing and re-routing. DESPITE THE HEAT and the challenge, he completed the work in record time. A couple of years ago he stayed until 2 am to remove an old broken water heater and replace it with a new one. I looked for replacement parts, but the unit was old, parts would not be available for six weeks and were very expensive. Again, his prices were much more reasonable and his service was quicker compared to trying to buy (and wait for) parts. Before meeting Rex, I had to deal with more than one or two very dishonest plumbing outfits. From Day One he has been a true blue and upstanding man. I highly recommend Rex to anyone who needs help with their plumbing problems because he is so honest, reasonable, trustworthy and so responsive. Thank you Rex!

I recently contacted Rex Plumbing for a leak under my kitchen sink. He came out right away and figured out the problem. I appreciated that he did not go directly to the most expensive fix but rather tried something to tide me over since I was planning a kitchen reno. Unfortunately my faucet was too far gone. When I called him back, he suggested a couple of popular faucet options, then purchased the one I picked, and came over and installed it. He also replaced hoses underneath my sink, one of which was ready to blow. The whole process, from start to finish, progressed without delays. Rex is knowledgeable, efficient, and goes above and beyond. He's also just a nice guy. After he replaced the faucet, I mentioned to him a problem I was having with a shower valve and he looked at it and fixed it as well! It wasn't even on his schedule. It is not easy to find repair people you can feel comfortable with and trust to be reliable and fair...I am so glad I found Rex Plumbing....Highly recommend!

Set up a Sewer Lateral Inspection. From the time of setting up appointment, Andrew gave Outstanding Service. Immediately after setting up my appointment, I received an email confirmation. Techs that came out Jessie and Carlos provided Outstanding service. They called me to provide arrival ETA, introduced themselves upon arrival and explain scope of work. Results were than shared with me while watching video. The work was followed up by a call from Andrew checking in on service, WOW!!! This has never happened and definitely recommend Drain Charmer. Thank you

I called Drain Charmer Plumbing in Santa Barbara for a toilet clog, and instead of pushing for a service call, Andrew helped me troubleshoot it over FaceTime. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to clear the stoppage quickly. What impressed me most was his honesty he wasn’t focused on charging me, but on solving the problem the right way. That says a lot about how this company operates. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable plumber in Santa Barbara who actually cares about their customers, I highly recommend Drain Charmer Plumbing.

I’ve never had a better plumbing experience. Andrew at Drain Charmer is a legend—fast, incredibly skilled, and friendly. He diagnosed the issue in minutes and fixed it with zero hassle. Communication was top-notch, and he treated my home with great care. Prices surprised me—in a good way. Honest quotes up front, no surprise charges, and the quality was worth every penny. The work held up perfectly, and I’ve saved so much stress since. If you want a reliable, value-packed plumbing job, call Drain Charmer and ask for Andrew. Highly recommend them.

Cris & Luis were excellent! I called due to a backed up main drain and they were at my house within minutes (no exaggeration). Had my family back with working plumbing in no time ! They gave me options ranging from temporary fix all the way to permanent solution. Best plumbing business in the area and they really truly care about what you and your family needs to get you back in working order!

I recently hired Absolute Plumbing And Rooting, Inc. to install a water heater at my home and I was very satisfied with the service. Jonathan was extremely professional and provided a detailed diagnosis of the issue. I strongly recommend Absolute Plumbing And Rooting, Inc. to anyone in need of plumbing services.

The best! Jonathan and his team were incredibly responsive and professional when it came to fixing a major issue that left our whole house with no functioning, sinks, toilets, or shower! They fixed the plumbing of our whole house in no time and gave us a great warranty. We will for sure continue to work with them in the future! If you are considering hiring them, we highly recommend them, you won’t regret it.

I stayed with some friends in Ventura for the week and their septic tank and pump backed up. Shawn came out in the middle of the night to get us going again, and then twice more. Turns out there was an equipment issue that wasn’t immediately apparent and is really not a traditional plumbing issue. He was honest and expedient. Highly recommend.

We recently had two buildings fully repiped, and installed new water heaters, the experience with this plumbing company was outstanding from start to finish. Shawn and his team were professional, punctual, and respectful of residents’ schedules and living spaces. The crew communicated clearly throughout the project, provided progress updates, and handled every step efficiently.

I can't recommend enough!! We had a leak at our slab, called and they came out immediately. They worked continuously to fix the problem. They were professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and even cleaned up when they were finished.

I needed a full replacement and repipe of my home's cast iron drain, waste, and sewer system. Hansen's was prompt and friendly when setting up the initial appointment. Their technicians came out to do a CCTV inspection and prepare a thorough bid for the job with three different options for the different extents of replacement. Jason, Damen, and Shane were professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. They worked well together throughout the many stages of this very involved job. I highly recommend Hansen's Plumbing, and I will definitely use them when plumbing needs arise in the future.

Jason did a great job in removing and installing the new water heater. Hansen‘s was fast and our very reliable. Thanks again for your very good and hard work.

Hansens has always been reliable. Very nice and helpful office staff and contractors. Always goes above and beyond to complete the job and explain everything through out the job. Very willing to answer all our questions and take thier time. Have used them before and will continue to. We love...love...love our new fixtures and sink. And all the plumbing help they did. Thank you

I called best in the west plumbing for a consistent issue with toilet clogging, they scheduled me right away with a tech. The tech “ Victor” showed up on time and conducted the service in an excellent and professional way. He walked me thru all the possibilities and troubleshooting steps. He was able to tackle the issue from the first step and fix it. The pricing was quite reasonable and less than other plumbers who gave me a pricing over the phone without showing up!!!. Thanks best in the west plumbing and definitely would be my go to company for any future plumbing issue.

Damien a d his whole team are too notch professionals, quality workmanship, excellent communication, incredibly responsive a d competitive pricing. Service was a commercial job with pluming issues stemming from cooked roof drains and misplaced downspouts. The crew investigated, found the issue and repaired it - after several other subs could not!

Robert did a great job on two faucets & drain replacements. Ryan finished off one. They were able to come the next day from my original call and I finally got my new faucets. Great job, great service. Thanks!

Honestly, if you are searching for a plumbing company that does meticulous work, communicates excellent, and does this with reasonable pricing, Jorge and his crew check every box. Stop searching and CALL HIM!! I originally found Solid Plumbing and drain on thumbtack because I needed a gas line installed for my new stove. While under the house, Jorge showed me the wet ground because of the pipes that were cracked, and had weeds growing inside and around them. He saved me a huge disaster and repaired the pipes that day. The second time I hired him it was to replace the valves and fixtures in my bathrooms. This brings me to the third time that I hired him again to replace my old plastic tub with a tiled shower. He also moved the pipes and walls to create at least a foot more room all around. And the tile crew…. Just wow, the craftsmanship is the absolute best. Jorge and his team cleaned up everything and they were very kind and courteous. I am so extremely happy with my new shower!! Jorge’s plumbing skills are the best, and he will communicate details every step of the way. Thank you Jorge and the whole Solid Plumbing and Drain team :)

Solid Plumbing & Drain are the guys to call. I had a plumbing emergency happen at 7:00pm on a Monday night. Jorge answered my call, arrived very quickly and got things working right away. This was just the beginning of what REALLY needed to be done with our home. After 60 years, our old house actually needed ALL the drain pipes replaced! This is a VERY BIG job that I have been putting off for a long time. Jorge said he could do the work for a fair price and his crew would finish it up within the week. And you know what? They did it! I am SO grateful for their excellent work. One Thousand "Thank Yous" to Jorge and the crew at Solid Plumbing & Drain!

100% recommend George ( owner) at Solid Plumbers. I had to replace my faulty hot water heater. George was available first thing in the morning and picked up new one from store and arrived half hour early!!! He was extremely nice and professional and …very fair prices!!! He did a great job. I’m so happy that he is my new plumber from now on!!! Thanks Solid!!!!

I had a great experience with this plumber for a sewer lateral inspection. Clint was professional, punctual, and took the time to clearly explain everything they found. The inspection was thorough, and they used proper equipment to show exactly what was going on in the line, which gave me a lot of peace of mind.

Our fridge wouldn’t produce water or ice so we contacted Genuine Plumbing. They were able to come out the same day and determined that we had a dead waterline running to the fridge. They told us our options to fix the issue and then ordered the necessary parts. They came back the following day to run a new line and did the work quickly and efficiently. We were very impressed with Clinton throughout the process.

Selected Genuine Plumbing after a Google search and combing through reviews. I have to say the service from start to finish was professional and reasonable. The tech (Clinton) was quite knowledgeable and made a challenging task look easy. It convinced me that I made the right choice not attempting a DIY job, thank goodness! It's always great to have this kind of service experience!

Manny’s workmanship is fantastic. Manny and his crew did excellent grade A+ plumbing work on the complete remodel of my home including new sewer and water lines, as well as adding new sewer and water lines to a new addition to my home. Highly recommend. Trustworthy, thorough, great guy.

Armor Plumbing is a top notch plumbing repair specialist. They performed all types of plumbing needs for my 255 bed hospital, they were professional clean and reasonable priced. I can call them morning noon and night and they would respond promptly taking care of business and serving the needs of the Healthcare industry and Community. No job to big or too small. 5 star rating for Armor company and Team!!

Manuel and his guys at Armor Plumbibg are top notch. They do everything from minor repairs to huge repiping jobs. They are very nice and easy to work with. Clean fast and very professional. I have used them my last 3 times I needed a plumber and had no issues at all. They do great work.

Mauricio was so helpful and delightful. he came to snake the place a couple weeks ago and was very personable and kind. 10/10 recommended. I hope I don’t have another plumbing problem but If I did, these would be the first people I call. thank you Mauricio for making a problem such a pleasant experience.

I’m extremely satisfied with the installation of my new garbage disposal. The communication was exceptional. Someone answered the phone right away, with no voicemail runaround, and they scheduled my appointment for the very next day. I received timely updates about the appointment and a notice when the technician was on the way. Everything was handled professionally, and I couldn’t be happier. I had called two other plumbers before this and never even received a call back, so this level of service was a welcome change.

Mauricio was very responsive, knowledgeable, and transparent! Main office worked with us as some work ended up not needing to be done upon further investigation and wonky install by previous owner! Would highly recommend them
