Drain Rite Plumbing
Company Overview

From a young age, plumbing was integral to my life, due to my father's career as a plumbing contractor. After serving four years in the military, I came back home to work alongside my father until his unexpected passing in 1977. In 1979, I founded my own plumbing business, Drain Rite Plumbing.
In that year, I specialized in cleaning drains as well as small plumbing repairs. With experience and growth, I studied for and obtained my California plumbing contractor's license in 1987. The number for my license is 539285.
A competing business located in Norco, California with the same name, operated by John Opitz. There is no connection between the two companies. We have owned the rights to this name since 1979. Owner, Operator.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Was referred to Drain Rite by Rheem to have my control valve replaced under a warranty. I needed hot water asap. I can endure a cold shower for a couple of days, but the wife and two little girls are a different story. While at breakfast with the kids, I received a call from John shortly after I got off the phone with Rheem. John was able to fit me in within the hour. The tech, Mike, beat me to the house. Through the Ring, I directed him to the side of house to get started. Mike was done in no time. Work looks good. Really nice guy. Represented himself and the company well. Thanks for the prompt service.

My water heater's pilot light went out, called 3 different plumbers who couldn't see me the same day. Then I tried calling the manufacturer (GE) and they gave me 2 options: 1. they would send me the part I needed (the thermocoupler) but it would take 5 days to get here or 2. they could search for a plumber nearby who might have the part and be able to fix the problem. Lo and behold with fingers crossed, they GE operator said they found Drain Rite Plumbing and said to call them in the next 5 minutes and maybe they could fix the water heater the same day. So I quickly said thank you and hung up, immediately dialed Drain Rite Plumbing and was greeted by John who thankfully had the part I needed and was able to come to my house that same day I called. In 25 minutes, Michael arrived and got to work, no fluff or talking about potential other problems. He got to work right away, and I kid you not he was done with everything in 15 minutes! Pilot light stayed lit, flame was going, and water was heating up. Very satisfied with Drain Rite Plumbing, quick...professional...courteous...did the job right the 1st time!

Our water heater went out, during a cold streak in January. We contacted a plumber who was able to get it started, but who then told us we needed a new Thermocoupler. We were referred to Drain Rite by Rheem since our water heater was still under warranty. Michael came out and repaired the problem, taking the time to explain what he was doing and how everything worked. He was prompt, friendly, and was done in about 30 minutes. If we ever have a water heater problem in the future, Drain Rite will be the first place I call.
thank you.

Moses out to my house to fix my plumbing problem today he was very efficient, I'm very satisfied with his work was excellent.

My Rheem tankless water heater kept giving me an overheat error code. I called around and was given various and sometimes ludicrous (looking at you Parzival Plumbing!) estimates until I had the pleasure of speaking to John. He was very honest and upfront with superb rates. He was able to replace my water heater the next morning in about 30 minutes when other places (Parzival Plumbing) wanted to charge me for 3-4 hours. So if you want honesty, go with John. If you're feeling masochistic, go with others (Parzi al).

These guys are amazing! They went way above and beyond to help my elderly parents when their hot water heater went out. They didn't try to force them to buy a new heater, and even tried to get the company who had installed their old heater 4 years ago to honor their warranty.
What other company or person would do that!?!
I highly recommend this company for their honesty, integrity, work ethic, and even compassion!
If I could give them more stars, I would!!!
I have no idea why this says Williams, Az, my parents live in Anaheim, CA.

Very good experience with this company. My child came home from college for her break with 4 friends and on the 3rd night, we had no hot water. I called John and he was so patient, understanding and made my day!
We now have hot water. My thanks John !

These guys were great! They were very helpful, professional, and kind as they assessed the situation and helped me figure out what was wrong and what my options were. They were also very considerate about costs and making sure I didn't spend money unnecessarily. This was very appreciative since I really didn't know my way around this problem. I would highly recommend Drain Rite Plumbing and will continue to use them in the future.

Water heater broke on Thursday night. I called Drain Rite around 8am on Friday morning and they were able to come out between 11-1 that same day. They arrived on time and replaced the broken part in about 30 minutes. Really appreciate the prompt, polite service. I would not hesitate to call them in the future. Thank you!

These guys are great!! They came out and helped me clear a drain! They did what 2 other plumbers I called couldn't do.. and that was to simply recommend what the problem could be before I came out. I'm pretty handy but there's just SOME things I can't do and these guys had a great attitude and awesome work ethic
