In 1979, I began distributing small flyers and placing local advertisements. I was cleaning drains for just $7. I was able to help around 20 homes every day. Soon, I was working every day of the week. My evenings and holidays were dedicated to service work. I began receiving requests for larger plumbing projects. I knew I had to pursue my Contractor's License. I completed the necessary coursework, and after a few years, I became a licensed contractor in California. With my license, I could advertise in the phone book, letter my truck, get insured, and grow my company.
Our main office is located in Santa Fe Springs, California. We look forward to every opportunity to serve your plumbing needs. We value our customers greatly, and I assure you that every job we undertake will use high-quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship.
Since 1979, I have been serving the Southern California community. If other companies fail to resolve a problem, I am the go-to for assistance! One Way Rooter and Plumbing ensures that other companies ""behave"" when we are in the area...it's true! Not every plumber is the same.

My son threw a watermelon rind in the toilet (unknown to us at the time). Initial treatment was to snake the main drain line from cleanout ($195). That didn't work. Additional charge to remove the toilet, flush out/snake the toilet, and put the toilet back ($250). That's when the technician found the watermelon rind. He told us there was something else in the toilet and we needed to replace it. (This was a misdiagnosis, because we broke it apart after the fact and there was NOTHING clogging the toilet after he cleared it the first time.)
Instead of putting the old toilet back, we purchased a new toilet at the recommendation of the technician. Just to put a new, customer supplied, clean toilet in the place of the old toilet (which was already removed!) - $375 additional.
The technician was friendly, clean, and easy to work with. But I'd rather have a jerk that will charge fair prices and still does the job correctly. I'm the idiot that signed the check for the outrageous prices they charged, but when you have a three year old pooping in a bucket, you do what you have to do. Unfortunately they realize the predicament you're in and charge accordingly.
I will not be making the same mistake again with this company. If you do use them, do your due diligence on the work they propose. A $375 charge for a misdiagnosis is ridiculous. And I bought a $180 toilet on top of that when it was completely unnecessary.
Good luck.

This update review is well over due. It has been at six years since I have used One-way Rooter as my #1 go to plumbing company. Roger is exceptionally knowledgeable and has provide excellent customer service every single time. No matter what, I can always rely on them to take care of job even at a moment's notice. They are reasonable compare to other local plumbing companies I have used. Anabel is great to work with, she is always very professional and very efficient. So, if you need a great plumbing company, I highly recommend One-way Rooter.

My husband and I have used this company several times when our drains get backed up, or shower tabs need to be changed out. Here's why they are given five stars: They answer the phone! They can usually get someone out to our house within hours of our phone call. The work is done well, and they clean up after themselves. And I don't feel gouged by the price. The bill always seems fair to me. One visit was for our water heater. We thought we might need to replace it. Instead, this company's employee said they could get a part for the tank, which would be a lot cheaper. He also assessed that this water heater still looked to be in pretty good shape and would likely work for several more years. The company has integrity. I always appreciate companies who function with integrity being the expectation!

I highly recommend them, very good service, I also think a fair price for excellent work done, I trust them

Loved the customer service from office staff to the technicians. Jeff and Miguel were courteous and knowledgeable, the price and quality of water heater is excellent!

This is absolutely a five-star company. From their customer service, to their technicians, their attitude, their expertise, their responsiveness, and quality of work and cleanliness of their job. In the military we use the term ""Bravo Zulu"" to recognize excellence.
Bravo Zulu OneWay Rooter & Plumbing!
I had the immense pleasure of having Bryce come to my home and handle business. He's a polite and kind young man with the can-do spirit. That's the guy you want if you have a choice. I don't wanna take away from any of their other fine technicians, but certainly wanted to single him out as being a consummate professional and very good at what he does! Thank you. I will most certainly recommend you guys to anyone who is looking for folks to get it done knowledgeably and quickly.

Great service and a friendly attitude. Thank you Jesse for getting our hot water heater going again and FAST!!

I called my apartment manager at 8 am letter her know that I had no hot water when I moved in. She called Oneway. The plumber Caesar was here at 10 am. He said he need approval for a new water heater from my manager, Cesar got approval and was back in about 45 minutes with my new water heater. It looks like he even cleared out all the cob webs.

One Way Plumbing has been so easy to work with! They call our tenants to schedule appointments, they are clean, efficient and make it hassle free. They also have the best pricing around! Call them and tell them MAP Property Management sent you over!
