Company Overview

Our services extend to both Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

With 30 years of expertise in plumbing services, give us a call for your no-cost consultation. We replace both traditional and tankless water heaters, along with garbage disposals, toilets, and faucets. We also address gas, water, and drain leaks.

Our sewer services include cleaning, relining, de-scaling, and hydrojetting, along with sewer camera inspections and trenchless replacements.

Established in 1991, we started with simple tools, and have evolved to utilize sophisticated equipment for analyzing plumbing problems.

My career began as a laboratory technician while I earned my Civil Engineering degree. I soon realized that management roles weren't for me, which prompted me to create a pizza and sandwich company called Ollies, which was a valuable learning experience about interacting with people.

After that, I relocated to California, and started working right away for a local plumbing company, where I learned the trade on the job. Following five years, I joined a more established plumbing company that focused on older homes, handling extensive sewer work and maintaining high standards.

Two years later, I chose to study for and earn my Plumbing C-36 License. I subsequently established Thistle Plumbing. I have been running Thistle Plumbing for close to 30 years. With all this experience, we can handle any plumbing task with ease.

Brian showed up quickly and efficiently assessed the problem and found that my three year old Moen faucet in the kitchen had multiple leaks. He knew that Moen had a lifetime warranty so he suggested I contact them get a new sink and he would come back in and install it. Much appreciation to Thistle plumbing.

I had a water leak in my condo during the Labor Day Weekend. It was extremely hard to find a plumber during the long weekend. I found Thistle Plumbing on Yelp.

I called Thistle Plumbing because of their excellent review. Brian returned my call and came to my condo shortly after. He identified the problem and fixed quickly. Brian also clean up the work area after the water pipe was fixed.

Brian was very professional and his charge was very reasonable. He was truly a life saver for my tenant and me. If the water leak was not fix, my tenants would have to keep the water main shot off and only turn on when in use. This would be very inconvenient for them.

This event is an emergency situation and Brian did not charge an enormous fee. Brian is very ethical and professional person. Brian thank you for getting my water leak fix. I would highly recommend Brian or Thistle Plumbing if anyone ever needs plumbing services. They truly live up to the 5 star reviews on Yelp.

We needed our shower drain snaked as it was draining slowly. Brian was able to come by on fairly short notice and he took care of the situation quickly. He even cleared out one of our other shower drains at no additional charge. He didn't make a mess in our bathrooms like some other plumbers we have dealt with in the past have. He was friendly and efficient, wore a mask to be COVID safe, and now our showers drain very quickly. He even told my husband how we can clean it out ourselves in the future. We will definitely call Thistle Plumbing the next time we are in need.

Brian was available on short notice to fix my issue (garage wall drain pipe with holes from failed DIY). Reliable with reasonable rate. Will repeat if needed. Highly recommended.

Canceled on us after we sent our house manager on a 45 minute drive to meet the plumber. Unreliable... the dog ate my homework kind of business.

Thistle plumbing did an excellent job of replacing a toilet. They got back to me quickly, charged me a fair price, and were extremely courteous and professional. I'm glad I found them and won't hesitate to use them again. Highly recommend!

Brian Stewart owns the company and puts great care into his work. He was fair with his pricing, responded quickly, accurately diagnosed the problem, and even came out on a Saturday to fix the problem. I highly recommend Thistle Plumbing and will definitely use them again!
