Westside Plumbing & Drains

Brady C.

It took me a month to realize the sewer sump pump at the back of my property was not working. Not knowing what lurked underground, I needed help fast.

Edwin came to the rescue.

Other plumbers on Yelp indicated they had knowledge of sump pumps. But Edwin was clearly the most knowledgeable when we first talked. It was well worth waiting until the next day when he was available.

Edwin showed up exactly when he said (rare in a contractor), showed me what the issue was, explained what was required to fix it. He also provided me with options to save some money.

It turned out to be a big job. The original sump pump was improperly installed 2' underground with the access pipes over the lid, making it impossible to open up the pump to see inside. Just to see inside took an hour, digging and cutting away the pipes. The pump was filled with roots.

After discussing my options, Edwin returned the next day with a new sump pump. He recommended installing an alarm to prevent the same problem in the future. At first I opted out on the alarm to save money. But later realized he was right; an alarm would help me maintain the new pump instead of replacing it every few years (a much larger expense). He also suggested installing a plate above the pump to avoid having to dig out the 2' of soil each time annual maintenance is done. Edwin goes beyond what you'd expect - he's researched getting a plate made!

Edwin is a gem: very thorough, helpful. He explains how everything works in an easy to understand way. He even sent me photos when I was not on site. And he's clean! I didn't have to clean up after him.

It's assuring to find a contractor as honest, friendly and reliable as Edwin. I've started an ""Edwin To-Do List"". I'll be calling him again and I strongly recommend you do to.

Edwin Martinez came out to quote an extensive project - adding an outdoor sink with drainage, creating an outdoor spigot for hose and setting up a drip system line. He was very professional, friendly, and worked hard for two days to get the project done. His craftsman ship was excellent. He also noticed two other issues around the water heater and fixed those free of charge as well. He was generous with his time and expertise and could not say enough good things about him and about West Side Plumbing. Will always return here.

Edwin is a great plumber and thorough professional. He took on a great challenge in helping us get on line into our new house during the Covid-19 LA lockdown. His expertise and dedication are valuable to anyone needing courteous service and great results.

Called Edwin at 4:30pm on a Saturday. He was on another job but said he'd swing by afterwards. Quoted me a price of $285 to replace a leaking toilet valve. I said yes.

Two hours later, the valve was replaced, and he took an outdoor hose that was stuck off the fixture.

Hard to find a good plumber. A+

Great service and very responsive (even came back on a Saturday when we needed).

Helped us with high end shower and toilet fixture and all seems to be working perfect.

Highly recommend.

I contacted Edwin on a Sunday afternoon and he showed up shortly after to fix our plumbing issue. Highly recommended

These guys are awesome. My hot weather heating wasn't working and they diagnosed it (via telephone) and were at my house in Silverlake within 90 minutes to execute a seamless repair...and less than budget and a bit less than they quoted over the phone. When does that happen?
An awesome experience all around!

A rainy day and both of our sump pumps failed. The back of our HOA complex was a foot deep in water, and counting. The reservoir was full and the weight on the retaining wall isn't good, let alone the soon to be spilling over into the neighbors yard.

We have a couple 4"" pumps. They move a lot of water a long ways. As soon as Westside rolled up, they went into crisis management. They started pumping the water out. They went away for an hour, leaving the pump clearing our property.

We had another plumbing company come, for a second bid. He said ""it's electrical"" and said we'd have to replace the box and possibly the pumps. Uh..... he did not look at anything.

Westside returned and pulled the grates off the reservoir. They said first thing is that there is a significant amount of leaves, sludge, and debris in there. They cleaned the vaults and floats. Then, they installed a screen to catch the leaves.

Poof. The whole system works great now. One day and a couple of great guys helping us out. They cost more than we thought it would be. AND, I'll use them again. I trust them and they really did a good job.
