Wally Adams Rooter Service
Company Overview
I would prefer my client, Hedi, from Glassell Park, CA, to sing my praises: ""Wally has been our plumber for more than a decade! We appreciate his honesty. Before discovering Wally, we contacted several other plumbers, and almost all arrived in flashy, colorful vans with complicated methods to 'assess' the issue using 'proven' diagnostic tools. Wally is direct and dependable. If he believes a job needs more than a standard solution, he tells us right away. No overly friendly receptionists or teams in protective gear with cameras and hydro jets. He’s skilled and trustworthy. He recently unclogged our mainline in just one hour. We wholeheartedly endorse Wally!"" (I’m now dropping the mic).
I was terrified the day I handed over my company credit card and gas card to my previous employer. All I had was a pager, a couple of drain cleaning machines, one client, and a vision. (I’m chuckling now because it sounds cheesy... but it’s the truth!) I follow one principle that has served me well: When you reach out for service, I pick up the phone. Amazing!
If you’re reading this with kids around, you might want to ask them to step out. I’ll pause. Alright, here it is. I DISLIKED school!... ALL schools! Even now, I’m genuinely surprised when I think about attending trade school and becoming an apprentice. That was over three decades ago. Today, I’m very grateful for that moment of indecision that led me to a career I still cherish. With time and experience comes a bit of wisdom. School isn’t so bad after all.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I found Wally Adams services on Nextdoor.com and he was the most recommended plumber in the neighborhood. So I gave it a try, called him in the evening, explained our problem, and next morning he was already here, inspected thoroughly and instantaneously found where the problem was, for free.
He is the plumber you should go to, he is knowledgeable and honest.

My house developed several complex and irritating plumbing problems over the last several months.
Wally was very responsive and communicative.
She showed up RIGHT ON time.
He diagnosed and discussed all the problems intelligently and thoroughly.
And he completely fixed every single problem.
Highly recommend.

Wally was great, solved our leaking shower head and unplugged a sink - great guy, he'll be our go-to for plumbing

Wally is very knowledgeable, prompt, polite, and just an all-around good guy. Just had an issue with my toilet emanating a bad smell, Wally came out within 2 hours of me sending him a message, figured out the problem, and solved it. Exactly what you are looking for in a plumber.

It has been a while since I worked with Wally but I can recall first meeting Wally in 1991. He has always been a very honest and hard working individual and very reasonably priced. I do wish him well and it is great to read so many positive reviews which speak to Wally's character

Had water coming up out of our drains from a surprise blockage and Wally showed up within the hour and fixed it. He was so genuinely a good guy on top of his fast service Ill recommend him to anyone I can. Thanks Wally!

Asked for a quote, said he was off (although, he was messaging me back and forth) and would give me a quote the next day. I gave him a price based on what I've been charged in the past and he said no. Of course, I found someone else who has 5 stars and is coming on Wednesday for that price. Just was too relaxed on giving me a quote and definitely doesn't seem like he wants a job. Well, found someone who does.

Wally's the Best! I found Wally on Yelp maybe a year ago (2018). I needed to get a sewer pipe rooter'd out, it was full of tree roots. Wally was there within the hour and did a great job! Fast forward 8 months or so, needed the same service so I called Wally back, since he'd done such a great job the first time. It only took his worker what seemed like minutes and he was done. Three months after that last visit (earlier this week), the pipe stopped draining again. We knew the problem was a tree right next to the pipe leading to the house. I asked Wally if he could fix the pipe problem once and for all, instead of having him come out every few months. He said ""Sure!"" So the next morning he came out, they pulled out the tree, cut some concrete, dug a big trench uncovering the pipe, replaced it, checked and made sure everything was working properly. Poured concrete and returned the next day to check on it.
The day after all this, Wally contacted me to see if everything was still OK. I mean, who does that nowadays? Good people, like Wally. He cares about his work and the customers as well. And the charges are very reasonable!
My friend's comment to Wally about me, ""If she didn't like you, she wouldn't call you back."" 100%! (Hope this wasn't too long.)

I've had Wally out to my house a couple of times in the last few years. He strikes me as very knowledgeable and honest, and genuinely concerned about his customers. Would hire him again if I had another issue!

What a wonderful find on yelp. Wally was very prompt, professional and honest. It's difficult to find someone who is honest and won't take you for a ride. But he was awesome.
