Recommended Customer Reviews

I called John Hammond to look at a drain repair after another company tried to convince me that we had a main drain line that needed to be replaced at a cost in the 5-figure range. John provided total transparency and education along the way while diagnosing the true issue (not in the main line) and repairing it for a fraction of the cost.
For any drain related issues John will be our ""go to"" guy going forward!

John Hammond is awesome!! He came out to fix a water line back up late this afternoon - Sunday. John is personable and very informative about what the problem was. A few hours later our problem fixed and both bathrooms left cleaner than before he arrived. I would recommend John anytime!

We had our toilet act up on new years eve morning and called john sunday morning. He was at our home in under an hour and discovered we had giant roots growing up our toilet pipes. He was extremely helpful and had our toilet flushing back to normal in no time. Would highly recommend him for any job and will be using him in the future!

Tonight when I came home from work, I discovered our toilets had clogged! And the bathtub! And nothing was going down! The good old sewer main clog, a familiar sight if you've lived in the great old houses of Torrance. I had a sinking feeling in my stomach, preparing myself to call many plumbers and be stuck with no working toilets tonight.
So I searched for a plumber on yelp, and see all the usual plumbers... but then I saw Hammond's Rooter. I've never heard of them before, so I decided to give them a call. John answered the phone, and let me know that he'd get a plumber out as soon as possible - Jimmy showed up at my door 30 minutes later.
In my years living in Torrance I've never had a plumber come to my house 30 minutes after calling, especially not at 9pm on a Friday. John ended up having to come over too, so they could snake the drain from the roof. They worked their butts off, and did a fantastic job. The price was very reasonable, too!
Again, I can't overstate how much I appreciate their work, thanks Jimmy and John! I really, really appreciate it!

There's backup in the bathtub, toilet bowl and undrained sink. I was in urgent need of unblocking the drains. I found Hammond's on Yelps. John, the owner, answered my call and reacted very promptly. John sent Jimmy to take care of my order. Jimmy snaked through the main line and bathtub patiently. He has solved the problem in a swift, tidy and professional manner. The service charge is at a reasonable and affordable level. There is no surcharge for emergency call. I will definitely use Hammond's again as needs arise
I highly recommend Hammond's Rooter

Local, quick response, super friendly and efficient, definitely recommend and would definitely call again...

I came from out of town to house sit for my mother. One of the bathroom drains became clogged. I did not know who my mothers regular plumber was so I looked online and choose Hammond's Rooter. John personally answered the phone, I explained what was happening and he had some workers there in a couple of hours. They were very professional and polite. The workers had to go on the roof and snake the drain. They also took time to inform me of some things I could do to avoid this happening again. Thank you for a job well done.

Had to get a nasty clogged kitchen sink fixed quickly. Total time from first phone call to a clear, well running kitchen sink was just over 2 hours. Fast, affordable and professional. Can't ask for more.

Called up John on an emergency, responded quickly and did a great job. Thank you for all your help and your patience (inside joke)!!!!!

Fabulous Lomita plumber, very quick response time, very knowledgeable of problem and took care of it without hesitation. Reasonable, highly recommend calling him with any plumbing issues.
