Drain Pro Man

Roger F.

I live in South Bay and also own a 8 unit apartment building built in the 1960's with old pipes that tend to plug up when things like tampons or an overabundance of hair get thrown in the toilet. And for whatever reason, the pipes tend to back up on Saturday nights at 10 PM way too often.

This is where Mike comes in. About a half hour after the call he rolls up with his van and one of his sons and within another 30-60 minutes the problems are usually fixed. Over the years, other than snaking out pipes, he's also replaced sinks, fixed wall heaters, changed out underground pipes, found a leak that no one else could find (it was actually his son Kenny who found it) among seemingly every other plumbing issue.

Beyond the work, Mike is just a really good guy. I recommend him and his company for all of your plumbing needs.

Had them plumb a new construction (2018), as well repair and pipe an old 1920s house a few years ago ,everything they have done for me is amazing. Wished I would have listened to my gut and had them do a remodel job we did in a bathroom 6 years ago (2014), now I have to repair the damage from the leaks and redo all the piping to make the drains work properly and no leaks. Drain pro is doing the work this time and are pointing out all the flaws from the remodel. For the past few years I have exclusively using these guys. They are the best in the area.

Oh I should definitely start writing reviews for these guys considering they've been helping me so much!

Rick, Mike, and Kenny are awesome people, and great plumbers. They have a small town feel to the operation - you'll be friends with them by the end of whatever job you all do. Their work is thorough and of really good quality. They're good at communicating throughout the job (mine have been small so far, but still), and for scheduling jobs. They get busy sometimes because they're so good, but they make time for everyone

Beyond just being a plumber, Mike is such an interesting, kindhearted, good person. He's helped me out a lot.

These are my goto plumbers. they've done a lot for me

Mike is outstanding. My toilet was literally backing up into the tub (Ugh), and after unsuccessfully trying to use my home warranty, I found Drain Pro. The real problem is the vent for the pipes is on the roof. Mike and his son Kenny got on the roof, and stayed up there for hours unplugging whatever the heck was clogging the pipes. We never really figured out, but at least it's completely cleared. I asked for suggestions to make it easier the next time, and he game a few ideas. I never felt like he was trying to upsell me or scare me with the threat of future problems. He even said we don't really have to do anything. If we decide to move forward on one of the suggestions, we will definitely Drain Pro to do the job!

I recently had a main line back up. I initially hired another rooter service to snake out the main line. When it backed up again a few days later, they came back out and after running the camera told me that I needed extensive repair work that would cost many thousands of dollars. They indicated that it would be in my best interest to replace the entire sewer line. This would even cost more money. I also had a sewer company come out and they recommended that I also change the entire line. I'm not sure just how much this would have cost because neither one of these companies actually provided an estimate for the repair work.

I was referred to Drain Pro by a plumber with more than 40 years of experience. He suggested that I call Mike and have him take a look. Although Mike's schedule was pretty full, he kindly squeezed me in at 7:30 in the morning as he knew that I was concerned that the main line would back up again.

He showed up on time, snaked out the line again and after running the camera informed me that no repair work was required at this time. We came up with a plan to maintain the drains over the next 6 months.

I really appreciated Mike's honesty about what work needed to be done. He did not try to sell me services that I did not need. His bill for the work that was done was very fair for the time spent. I'd had several sleepless nights since the problem started and Mike gave me back my peace of mind.

Mike's been a licensed plumber for about 30 years. He is very knowledgeable and professional. I will continue to use Mike's services and would not hesitate to refer to him in the future. I only wish I ad found him sooner.

We hired Mike Lambden at Drain Pro for plumbing projects during a major renovation in Los Angeles. He is by far the best plumber we've met - very knowledgeable, highly experienced, and prices are fair. We've referred him to friends many times, and they are happy too!

Apartment Owner with a few buildings in Palm & Mar Vista and have used Drain Pro for several emergency plumbing issues. I am very impressed with there knowledge and professionalism, they never let me down. This is not a easy occupation and I give praise when praise is due.

Honest nice guys are hard to find.

Mike is honest and straight forward. It's refreshing in Los Angeles to deal with someone that knows what they are talking about and doesn't try to upsell you through the roof. They were fast and clean ( that is a big plus). We've recommended them and our friends say the same thing, they are awesome.

I was blessed today to discover Drain Pro through Yelp. I had a major sewer stoppage and already had another quote from a plumber that was sent by my home warranty service. I called Mike to get a second opinion, and am so glad I did. He came quickly, and we eventually discovered that if the first plumber had been allowed to proceed, I would have paid a lot of money for a ""fix"" that wouldn't have worked and would have torn up a huge chunk of my yard. Mike and Ken took another route to the problem (snaked a camera through the roof vent, which was very difficult) and fixed the stoppage. I am totally confident that Mike and Ken are super-competent at what they do. It was a very complicated situation.

On top of that we simultaneously had water leaking through a retaining wall in the back yard. They went with me, around to the next street, to my back neighbor's yard to see what was the problem- thinking it might be their pool was leaking. When we couldn't find the problem there, they figured that it was actually due to another neighbor one house up who had left his sprinkler on all darn day. I doubt I would have ever gotten to the bottom of it so quickly.

Estimates are just that: estimates. It's clear that if I had gone with the other company, it would have cost me a lot more in the end. Mike and Ken don't lowball; they give you a real accurate estimate because they are able to diagnose the problem - like a good doctor.

Mike and Ken are transparent in what they do, very nice guys, and explain everything in detail (I'm sure I drove Mike crazy with my questions, and he was so patient). I even called him later in the evening with two more questions - thinking I would get the machine, but instead caught him at a Cub Scouts meeting - and he didn't act as though I was bothering him.

What else can you say about guys who really know what they are doing, are fair, and are nice about it? They have a client for good. Thanks guys!!!!
