SoCal Plumbing & Rooter

Great experience. Had a non emergency plumbing problem and they came out very quickly and fixed it for a fair price. Mario, the service tech who came out was very nice and professional. The job was quicker and easier than he originally thought it would be so he charged less than the original estimate. I would highly recommend and use them again for any plumbing needs. If you need and fair and honest plumber ask for Mario.

Our water heater has been broken for 2 days, and I asked quotation to couple of companies at night (I think it was around 10/11pm) and Joseph was the first person to reply back in 30 minutes and he sent technician next day. It was very reasonable price and quick service. I really recommend SoCal Plumbing & Rooter.

After exhausting my weak arms for hours trying to pull out the seized Delta shower cartridge, decided I needed professional help on a Saturday.

Phone was picked up promptly by the super nice owner, who understood exactly my dilemma and was able to schedule me in for a Sunday.

Got a call the next day to update the tech was held up by another project so would be an hour later than scheduled.

A super friendly tech arrived on time and checked out the situation and decided this will be an hourly rate project. Owner told me these stuck cartridges usually need to be burned out, which sounded quite straight forward with a blow torch to loosen up the plastic cartridge to slide out.

Work began by trying to get a grip on the cartridge with pliers and screwdrivers, which can't really get leverage in the tight spot/part. Was expecting the blow torch to come out to warm up the valve or cartridge to make it easier, but maybe that's a last resort instead of the easy answer?

Anyway, I suggested using the tools I had come up in my attempts the day before to show how to get a good grip on the broken cartridge.
PB Blaster, a cheap Walmart hook/pick tool that I was amazed with the day before, vise grips to grab that hook/pick tool for better grip, skinny screwdriver to allow some chipping away of plastic pieces, etc.
I gotta say, I would have never had the strength to be able to pull it out myself.
The strong tech continued trying tugging at the thing for a long time before he finally popped it out! Props to his endurance to be able to apply such strength repeatedly without fatiguing out!

Made sure everything got greased up the wazoo as the new cartridge went in to hopefully not have this kind of seizing again (but I am sure it will still seize up after 10 years or however long it lasts before seals wear out).

Got it done just under the 1 hour, whew!
Not cheap, but running a biz is not, so it was well worth it without resorting to call stronger folks like my bro, or my handyman uncle who lives an hour away, lol.

5 stars for the super nice biz owner and tech, understanding problem by phone, very professional to update on schedule, being available on weekend, etc.

3.5 stars on prep/readiness to tackle the problem. If I did not have the hook/pick tool that allowed getting a firm grip on the metal cylinder of the cartridge, it would have easily gone over an hour trying this or that. The heat method should have made this much less of a struggle, especially with the hook tool I had, maybe just needed a little bit of heat to loosen and pull out.

Either way, a very friendly and professional business available 7 days for your plumbing needs. Felt like family from start to finish, without bothering my own family members!

Socal Plumbing was very responsive and showed up right at the communicated time (even on a same day appointment after New Years). Derek was very patient and thorough examining all potential issues and explaining the pros and cons of each solution.

Derek helped find the best and most cost effective solution for us and did a fantastic job. The price was in line with several other estimates I received. I definitely recommend SoCal Plumbing's services.

Absolutely can't recommend these guys enough!! Arnold was the technician that came out and he was so nice and right on time. I only have the one toilet so they made me a priority and got out to the house within an hour or so. They were willing to work with me on a price I could afford and it was VERY appreciated being right after the holidays. Prompt, clean, professional, and reasonably priced...thank you again So-Cal Plumbing for your service today. You are my new go-to plumber!!

Called and they came out the next business day. They arrived when they said they would, they were friendly and their price was fair. Also, he gave us the option to handle a couple things on our own rather than paying for them to handle. I'll definitely use them again.

Derek came out the other day and helped unclog a kitchen sink that's been giving us trouble for over a week. He finished the job quickly and cleanly and gave us helpful tips to prevent clogging in the future. Highly recommend SoCal Plumbing!
