Victor came through again! This time he was able to fix our leaking kitchen sink which was a disaster. Thanks again for your help

Victor is fast, reliable and reasonably priced. I had a sewer line back up and he was quick at assessing the problem and provided a few different solutions, but ultimately got the job done and my problem solved. Victor will be my go-to plumber for any and all future plumbing needs.

Hire Victor. He's the best in the area, with the best equipment, and the best prices. I spent a whole week calling around and getting estimates for a sewage line clean-out and potential replacement. I ended up hiring two highly rated plumbers. The first company snaked the hell out of my line, got some roots, but didn't solve the problem. Then another company tried to hydrojet it to no avail. Both companies would start the job and then say, ""Oh, we uncovered this, the cost is now X."" And it kept climbing exponentially. I was getting crazy quotes and recommendations - ""We may need to get a permit from the city to block off the entire one way street, dig it up, and replace the entire pipe."" You can imagine how much that would've been... I was getting ready to sell off my left kidney to have running water again.

In comes Victor. He and his team worked tirelessly to resolve our problem, explaining everything thoroughly the entire time. Their work is clean and efficient. They use the latest technology and own it outright, which means he doesn't need to go through another company to do more complicated jobs. To me that meant lower costs and knowing that I wouldn't have to deal with another crew. We saved thousands (perhaps $20K+) by hiring Victor and ended up replacing our entire sewer line. He does what's right for the customer, and thus, has a customer for life with me. Highly, highly recommend!

Victor is a gem. One of my best finds on Yelp thus far. Stop reading Yelp reviews and just call him. You'll see what I mean after you chat with him for a few minutes. (you may call a few other plumbers just to see the difference). His pricing cannot be beat since he owns his own equipment and has licenses required to do more complicated sanitation work (C-42), not just the basic C-36 license that other plumbers have (some aren't even licensed! so ask). Other companies hire him to do this work as a subcontractor and add a mark-up to that. This makes sense when the subcontractor doesn't have the people skills to acquire customers and do jobs on his own, but in this case, it's the complete opposite. On top of this, Victor understands the lifetime value of a customer and knows that to earn one's trust, you have to be honest, transparent and do what's right for the customer long-term. We got just that from him and are extremely satisfied with his work. We'll be recommending him to all of our friends from now on.

Now, here's the long version:

I had a clogged main sewer line, which turned out to be a much more difficult problem to resolve than we had previously anticipated. We had two different companies (top LA plumbers on Yelp) come out who couldn't resolve it by snaking and hydrojetting and started scaring us about what may need to be done. Everything was very vague and the pricing was all over the place. From $16K to $80K. The recommendations were also very inconsistent, which made me worried about their validity. Completely understand that there are so many things that may be uncovered once they're underground, but I had major concerns about being scammed into doing unnecessary work and being ripped off. Very common in this industry.

I'm an extremely thorough person and did my due diligence when looking for a plumber to do this complicated sewage work. I decided to quickly get up to speed on the latest sewage technology (e.g., trenchless pipe bursting, permaliner) to better educate myself to understand the different scenarios and options and feel confident in who I hire for such a big job. I read hundreds of reviews, put in both, Yelp and Thumbtack, inquiries, and interviewed dozens of the top plumbers in LA. They all sounded pretty much the same, until I spoke to Victor. He is an honest and highly professional plumber who is an expert in his field. He can provide the level of transparency and education that one needs when faced with a multi-thousand dollar plumbing situation. The rest of the companies I spoke with either didn't want to bother going into the details to educate me on the options and risks or simply couldn't articulate them to my satisfaction. Victor was a breath of fresh air. We spent an hour talking about plumbing over the phone on a Saturday afternoon. (it was quite fascinating!) That's when I knew that I could stop my search, hire him and cancel the rest of my estimate appointments.

Victor and his crew came out, assessed the situation, and provided our options and their implications. They broke ground the next day and worked efficiently for the next couple of days until our sewage woes were resolved. Our situation was complicated - our pipes were from the 1960s, we're in the Hills, and the main sewer line was made up on different materials. We had major root growth and cracks through our pipes. Of course, we could've hydrojetted, but the roots would grow right back and we'd need to do this on a 6-12 month basis for the rest of our lives. We ended up doing a permaliner and trenchless pipe bursting for two different segments of the pipe, essentially replacing the entire sewer line from our house to the city line. Victor's pricing was unmatched and he provides a lifetime guarantee on the trenchless pipe replacement and 20 years on the permaliner. He kept us updated throughout the entire process, showed us live videos of the progress and obstacles, and fixed everything!!! He even took a look at our indoor plumbing situation and provided his expert opinion on a few things we were considering. Trust me, this decision will save you thousands of dollars and peace of mind that you're getting the best quality work. Plumbing is no joke.

Victor and his team are amazing! I found them on yelp, they gave me the best quote of all the companies I contacted, they showed up the same day and on time. They were able to clear the line at my parents house which was no easy task since they have a crack in their pipe system. Victor is very knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and hard working. I would definitely recommend him for plumbing and rooter needs.
Thanks so much!

Victor was great about coming out quickly and fixing our sink and toilet. He even fixed our shower without any additional fee. Definitely the best plumber. Would highly recommend him.

The best experience with Victor. Great communicator, organized, efficient and HONEST!

I suffered through another bad plumber and called Victor to come in and fix the mess that was left behind. He quickly diagnosed the issue . ...and was the only plumber to accurately do so. If only I had gone with him instead of another ""5 star"" plumber on Yelp who turned out to be a disaster, I would have saved so much time and headache.

I'm so glad I called Victor who will now be the guy I call for any future plumbing repairs. I give him the highest recommendation.

My son used the bathroom and needless to say, it was clogged. Bad. I called up Victor's in the morning and he was here within a couple of hours. He even gave me a courtesy call while he was on the way to let me know what his ETA was.

He was extremely nice and not grossed out by our toilet (a relief for me). He fixed the issue within 5 minutes and stuck around for another 15 to make sure everything was working properly.

I highly recommend this service. He was a professional and took care of the issue within minutes!!! Will definitely use again!!

As professional as it gets! Victor communicates exactly when he will get there, tells you exactly (and accurately) what the plumbing issue is, and solves the problem! I highly recommend Victor for all your plumbing needs!!!

Since I had such a great experience with Victor last year on a major sewer line project in one of my of investment properties last year, I decided to use him in a smaller one in another property and he met my high expectations. I will look to continue to use him for my plumbing needs in all my 6 investment properties as well as my home. With Victor, you get experience, excellent customer service and a very reasonable price. I recommend him to anyone with any sort of plumbing need big or small.
