Company Overview

We proudly serve the areas of Los Angeles and Palm Springs.

With 30 years of expertise in plumbing services, reach out now for your free consultation. Our services include replacing water heater tanks and tankless units, as well as 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.

Our operations commenced in 1991 with basic equipment, and have evolved to utilize sophisticated equipment for analyzing plumbing problems.

I started my career as a laboratory technician while pursuing my Civil Engineering degree. I came to understand that working in management wasn't my calling, leading me to start a pizza and sandwich venture named Ollies, a venture that provided me with important insights into customer relations.

Subsequently, I moved to California, and started working right away for a local plumbing company, acquiring practical skills in plumbing. After five years, I moved to a more reputable plumbing firm specializing in older properties, dealing with significant sewer projects and upholding 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. Given our background, we can tackle any plumbing job effortlessly.

Brian and his team are among the best professionals I've had the pleasure of meeting. After digging a huge hole in our yard to install a clean out valve, by the time they were done, I couldn't tell that anything had been touched. Truly the best!

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.

Thank you again

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.
