After graduating from UCLA with an economics degree in 1986, I worked in a few jobs that felt like dead ends until 1991, when I committed to a plumbing career. Having 25 years of plumbing experience solidifies my reputation in the industry. During the day, I was employed at my father’s plumbing company in West Los Angeles, and at night, I was in my first year of law school. While I loved law school, balancing night classes with daytime work was tiring. I came to understand that a career in plumbing would be rewarding, particularly with my own company.
Don Yousem Plumbing is fully licensed, bonded, and insured.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Don Yousem is a one-man outfit with no middle-men or dispatchers -- just Don, answering his cellphone and text messages promptly. He's a no-nonsense guy who does what he says, coming to scheduled appointments on time, and doing the work as promised.
He came out to fix a shower leak and got the job done in a short period of time. Managed to fix things without turning the job into something unnecessarily complicated and checked in afterwards to make sure it was done right. Pricing was reasonable.
Overall, great communication, reliable, and a straight shooter. Would use him again.

I am very happy to provide this review of Don. I have used him two times now and it was on the second visit where he ran into a little issue while repairing my faucet leak. But he kept trying and persevered through it. He is very responsive when you contact him and punctual too. He is personable and I think he is trustworthy too. He cleans up after his work and leaves the place like it was before he came.

I was given Don's name by a friend, and I am happy I called him. We had a broken exposed pipe and I had hoped to be able to fix it myself-but the pipe was snapped too close to the connector-and I did not want to risk further damage.
I called Don, explained the situation and sent him a photo of the damaged pipe. He gave me a firm quote, and came over quickly.
Don fixed the pipe quickly and stuck to his quote. Fast, efficient and fair.
I would feel comfortable using him again, and also would recommend him to my friends if they needed a plumber. He is also a very nice guy!

Don is GREAT!!! He comes when he says he will, and fixes the problem. He problem solves with you, and will fix your issue in the least amount of time while also trying to save you money. We never have to look for another plumber. He's the best!! Don get's my highest recommendation!

Had him come and fix a few things, he's great; he always schedules within 24 hours, is on time, fair on prices, and does an immaculate job. Very friendly also.

Don was recommended by Larry Goltz of ALSIG Heating & Air (also fantastic). I moved into a new home and needed a few things cleaned up/fixed. Don was available right away (though he was coming from another job), took care of everything, had a good attitude, and worked quickly. Nice to find someone like this!

Great Experience every time! Always nice clean and reasonable. First choice to call when your have the unfortunate issue of a plumbing problem. I would always recomend this guy.

I needed a plumber on a Sunday and called Don after reading reviews on Yelp. Not only was he able to come -- he had the problem fixed in a very short amount of time. I found Don to be refreshingly honest and his price was extremely fair. I hope I won't need him anytime soon, but just in case I put his card on the side of the fridge! I would recommend Don in a heartbeat!

very fast response and great friendly service. will use again for sure.

Met Don Yousem at Home Depot, the day before he retired to go back into his own business. 11/15/2012 - Had a toilet that I needed fixed and decided to give the business to a home town small business ... that being Don Yousem Plumbing. He came over to the house on time. Got right to work. I kept checking on him as he appeared confused several times about the task at hand. I asked him if he could do the job or if he had any reservations and he said no. At any rate, and after two trips to collect the right parts he completed the job that he started @ 8:30 by 1:30 pm. This time included his two trips to get parts as he said the first parts were defecttive. I was charged $284.00 and gave him a check which he cashed the same day. (???) Today is Saturday, 11/17, my husband and I just came home to find our laundry room flooded and quickley went upstairs to check the toilet that he had worked on. The carpeting upstairs in the bathroom was soaked. The toilet was leaking from the hose/connection to the toilet, through the walls into the light fixture into the laundry room downstairs.. One would think this would be a simple task. I called him this evening to see when he could get over to the house to fix the toilet and he said that he couldn't make it until tomorrow. I would not recommend this man at all. All he did was blame everything on defective parts. He did that with me when he had to replace the parts and said the same thing to my husband two days later. If he even thought the parts were defective, why would he put them on our toilet?
