Expert Drain Cleaning in Ventura, California

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!

I called Midtown Plumbing after having some drainage issues. Shawn was very honest about my options and ultimately I went w/ a full sewer line repipe to avoid more issues in the future. I couldn’t be more happy with the service and don’t regret choosing the right option. No one in the County could’ve beat the price and the quality of labor. I’m forever a Midtown Plumbing client! Thanks Shawn, you’re the Best in the 805!

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.

We had the emergency everyone dreads - the “where is it coming from” leak in the ceiling of the garage. Rob’s Plumbing came out quickly after calling and found the source. It was a cracked pipe leading to the kitchen sink. He repaired it quickly allowing us to have a functional kitchen in no time.!He also snaked and unclogged the drain. All for a reasonable price. His communication was clear throughout. We definitely recommend him and will continue to use his services in the future.

I called Rob on Friday and he showed up to check our problem within 1 hour. He was very quick and knew exactly where the issue was. He promply fixed our clogged drains and was in and out in just a couple hours. Very happy with the service and I highly recommend him for any plumbing issues.

We called Rob's plumbing on a Sunday morning, because our kitchen sink & dryer was backed up. Rob came in diagnosed where the problem was and fixed it in less than an hour. I highly recommend Rob's plumbing if ever you have plumbing problems. Good service & affordable.The best part is, his work has lifetime warranty.

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’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.

Drain Charmer replaced my water heater which included installation of all requirements that comply with code regulations. They were quick, knowledgeable, and cleaned up the work area efficiently. I especially liked that they were available to do the job the day after I called with my problem. Highly recommended.

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.

We had a leak right outside our back door leading to our detached garage. We were referred ABSOLUTE PLUMBING and they were able to uncover the issue. The piping leading out to the garage had two minor leaks due to poor copper being used and tree root encroaching on the pipe. Long story short, they were quick to respond to our call, get the job done and out. Team was friendly and knowledgeable. We will definitely use again and refer when possible.

Several years ago Rooter Solutions did some septic work on a house in the San Fernando Valley. These few years later we were going to do some preventive maintenance on the system and realized that what we had contracted for, access to the system for pumping, was not actually completed properly. I contacted RS to indicate the problem who willingly worked with us to try to understand where the problem actually was. It was worked out that they would come back, at no charge to us, and provide the access we needed. This was done expediently and professionally with the team lead, Martine, managing the project among the many other things he had going on in other locations. Thank you, Martine, and your crew, for doing the work well, and thank you Rooter Solutions for making this right, five years after the initial work was completed.

I recently hired Rooter Solutions to completely re-pipe and re-drain my entire house, it was a $50,000+ job. I wanted to give them a 5-star review but cannot. Everything they did was excellent and respectful until the final drywall repair, mediocre is being kind (see example photo). How can a company do such a great job re-plumbing, stucco repair (see photo), service, etc and then be satisfied with such bad drywall repair workmanship? My expectation, when Sean Traylor sold me the job, for as much as I spent, was that when they finished repairing the walls they opened, I could simply repaint. Apparently, I overlooked the "small print" that stated rough repair...I rather relyed on Sean's verbal commitment. All I can say is, great plumbers...crapy drywalls. One would think that the management would care more about the last part of the job that the customer sees. If you use Rooter Solutions, demand in the agreement that the drywall is repaired properly...paint ready.

Rob was great. I didn't have hot water and he came over and immediately knew what to do. He fix the problem. Definitely call him if you ever need a great and affordable plumber.

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!!!!

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
