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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Plumber 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!

I 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.

I'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!

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.​​​​​​

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.

They 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.

I 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!

The 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.

Professional Drain Cleaning in Whittier, California

Whittier is a city of rich history, from the craftsman homes in Uptown to the sprawling mid-century ranch styles near Michigan Park. However, these beautiful properties often come with outdated plumbing systems that are prone to stubborn clogs and slow-moving drains. Finding a plumber in Whittier who isn't already booked solid can be a frustrating task, especially when you have a backed-up sink or overflowing toilet in the middle of the night.

Our service changes the game for Whittier residents. We don't just give you a list of names; we actively scan our network of certified plumbers across Whittier and filter them by your specific zip code. Most importantly, we call them to confirm they can solve your drain issue today—and are actually available for a 24-hour dispatch—before you even pick up the phone. Whether you're near Whittier College or down by the Whittwood Town Center, we ensure help is genuinely on the way.

Common Drain Issues in Whittier, California

Whittier’s famous tree-lined streets, particularly the Jacarandas and large Oaks, are a major culprit for root intrusion. As these roots seek out moisture, they can penetrate older clay or cast iron pipes, leading to massive blockages that regular store-bought cleaners simply cannot fix.

Many homes in the historic sections of Whittier still utilize original cast iron sewer lines. Over the decades, these pipes corrode internally, creating a rough surface that catches hair, grease, and debris, eventually leading to a complete shutdown of your home’s drainage system.

Southern California’s notoriously hard water affects Whittier households by causing mineral scale buildup inside pipes. This 'calcification' narrows the diameter of your drains over time, making them much more susceptible to clogs from even small amounts of waste.

In the Whittier Hills and Friendly Hills areas, the local topography can create unique drainage challenges. Gravity-fed systems on steep slopes can experience high pressure or, conversely, 'flat' spots where debris tends to settle, causing foul odors and recurring backups that require professional hydro-jetting.

Seasonal Drain Maintenance Tips for Whittier, California

Fall Leaf and Seed Debris: Whittier's lush canopy drops a significant amount of organic matter in the autumn. Ensure your outdoor area drains and gutters are clear so that the first seasonal rains don't wash debris into your main sewer line.

Winter Heavy Rain Preparation: While Southern California is dry most of the year, our winter 'atmospheric rivers' can overwhelm older Whittier sewer lines. Schedule a preventative inspection before the rains hit to ensure your main line can handle the increased volume.

Spring Root Growth: As Whittier’s vegetation wakes up in the spring, roots become more aggressive in their search for water. If you notice gurgling sounds in your toilets during the spring months, it’s likely time for a professional snake or hydro-jetting service.

Summer Drought Care: During hot, dry Whittier summers, pipes can actually become brittle or settle as the soil shifts. If you aren't using certain bathrooms frequently, run water down the drains once a week to keep the p-traps full and prevent sewer gases from entering your home.

Average Drain Cleaning Costs in Whittier, California

$175-$550

Pricing in Whittier varies based on the severity of the clog, the equipment required (such as motorized snakes vs. hydro-jetting), and whether the service is requested during standard hours or as a 24/7 emergency dispatch.

Frequently Asked Questions about Drain Cleaning in Whittier, California

Do you offer emergency drain cleaning in Whittier?

Yes! We specialize in 24-hour availability verification. We call plumbers in your specific Whittier zip code to ensure they can arrive today before we even recommend them to you.

Why are my drains constantly clogging in my Uptown Whittier home?

Historic homes in Uptown often have cast iron pipes that have scaled over time. This rough interior catches debris easily. We can connect you with a Whittier expert who can perform a camera inspection to see if you need descaling or a replacement.

How much does a typical drain cleaning cost in Whittier?

Prices in Whittier typically range from $175 for basic snaking to $550 for more advanced hydro-jetting, depending on the severity of the blockage and the time of day.

Can you find a plumber near the Whittier Hills or Friendly Hills area?

Absolutely. Our system filters specifically by your zip code to ensure we find a certified professional who services your exact neighborhood, including the more secluded hill areas.

What is the most effective way to clear roots from Whittier sewer lines?

For the heavy root systems found in Whittier, hydro-jetting is usually the best solution. It uses high-pressure water to scour the pipe walls clean without the need for trenching your yard.
