Aquilina Plumbing and Rooter
Company Overview
For over 30 years, Aquilina Plumbing and Rooter has been the go-to choice for all plumbing services. We specialize in plumbing solutions for homes and businesses alike. We bring the experience and honesty you deserve from your plumber.
Founded by Frank Aquilina in 1998, Rite Job Professional Plumbing started in Tucson, Arizona, before evolving into Aquilina Plumbing and Rooter. After more than ten years of serving Tucson, the recession struck Arizona, prompting Frank to relocate his family and business back to Southern California, where his plumbing journey began.
After earning his C-36 plumbing contracting license, he swiftly grew the business through contracts with home warranty firms. He soon became known for completing plumbing jobs that others shied away from. As referrals from satisfied customers grew, we have continued to proudly serve our community.
Frank Aquilina began his plumbing career in 1990 at Louis Luskin and Son's Plumbing in Los Angeles, where he completed his apprenticeship. He gained skills in trenching for sewers and waterlines, re-piping residences, and installing sewer and gas lines. A year later, he was asked to train under Jeff Harris, specializing in service and repair plumbing. Not long after, he was entrusted with running his own service vehicle.
Several years later, Frank moved to Tucson and spent three years with Cumming's Plumbing. He began preparing for his journeyman's card and pursued his K-38 plumbing license. After achieving success in his exams, he established Rite Job Professional Plumbing in 1998.
In 2012, Frank returned to the South Bay and founded Aquilina Plumbing and Rooter. Frank is happily married to Tonya Aquilina, and together they have two daughters, Mariah and Gianna.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I had several issues that needed to be taken care of....leak under the sink and several bathroom faucets that needed some repair. Frank arrived on time, did excellent work, was very pleasant and his pricing seemed very fair. I've used other plumbers in the past, but from now on I will be calling Aquilina Plumbing when my home or rental need repairs.

Frank is amazing. We found him on Yelp while searching for a plumber. He's since worked on a few projects in our home (unclogging our dishwasher air pipe, replacing our garbage disposal, installing a water pressure valve) and each time, he's done an amazing job. He's courteous, timely, friendly, clean and knows his craft. If you're looking for a reliable, honest plumber, definitely give Frank a call!

Franks as good as it gets. Honest guy, quality work, and a quick response time. We own a 1950's ranch in Palos Verdes with plumbing in the slab so are constantly having plumbing issues. We have had roughly 20 plumbers to the house over the last few years and NO ONE compares to Frank. Frank's has been extremely helpful on our most recent project (new kitchen,new bathroom,tankless water setup & laundry room setup) and has earned our future business for our rental property also. Franks an honest guy, the type of person that goes the extra mile for you!

We've used Frank's service a while back and he was great. Recently, he was a life-saver! I purchased a front load washer and dryer unit; come to find out...my house was not equipped for this new unit. Frank came out a few times to install a drip pan and change the plumbing as needed to accommodate our new appliances. I was under time constraints, however, Frank was able to get to my house quickly and make the required changes before my appliances where delivered. It's hard to find good service. So Frank and his assistant is an excellent option.

Frank did my family a favor and a great job. Yesterday the pilot on our water heater went out and wouldn't relight. About 6PM I left a message with Aquilina and Frank, the owner, called right back. He diagnosed over the phone that it was probably the thermocouple. Needing to go to work the next morning and without hot water to shower, shave, launder or cook, I asked if he could come out first thing the next morning and fix it. Low and behold he was there at 7AM and was done shortly thereafter. Thanks, Frank.

Fantastic plumber!! A+++. We have used Frank with Aquilina plumbing twice now and have had a great experience both times. He's honest, knowledgeable, fast and reliable. The first time he fixed the thermocouple on our water heater. He was in and out the same day and even fit us in with a full schedule. So when we needed some work done on our house the second time I immediately reached out. He completed the work quickly within a days work - which included running drain pipes from our water heater to the outside of our house, and installing a pressure regulator and main shut off valve for our house. He also did a sewer inspection for us during this time frame and offered his recommendations which I felt were a very honest assessment because he needed to recommend an outside company to do the work, so it wasn't for his own personal gain. I would highly recommend Frank. His office manager, Nicole, was wonderful as well. Very friendly and worked fast to get our questions answered. Can't recommend them enough.

Frank and team were great! They were able to come to our house extremely quickly, with little notice. They helped diagnose the problem, fix the problem, and also advise on what to do moving forward to prevent against the problem re-occurring. They were polite and very attentive. I would absolutely recommend them for all plumbing needs.

I had a pipe break under my house. Frank and his assistant called me back in 5 minutes and were at my house within 10. He crawled under my house and got pretty wet (despite wearing coveralls) from the river under my house while he replaced a section of pipe that was leaking. While he was there I asked him to snake my bathroom drain that had been running slowly. He did that quickly and wiped down the counter afterwards. I asked him a question about my toilet and he replaced the flapper valve for free. It was great to have a quick response to my emergency and then knock out a few other items all at once.

I had an appt at 8am Friday and waited to 9:30 and the plumber never showed and no phone call/text. I called his office and spoke to a very nice woman who took my info and said he would call me back in 5 mins. An hour later, no call so I called the office and cancelled. I would not have had a problem if he called and told me he was held up or had even had to postpone but not to contact me at all, totally unsatisfactory as I wasn't looking for just a one time plumber but someone I could contact on a regular basis!

Had a commercial emergency, Aquilina Plumbing was fast to arrive and resolve the situation. Would definitely use again. Their technician Frank was great, kept me informed as job progressed. Rachel, whom took my initial call was very helpful as well. Thank you!
