Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You guys were great! We had previous quotes for our outdoor leak repair for $11,000+ to repair the leak and replace all the pipes. The previous plumbers told us that our pipes are old and they had to be replaced. We know our house and the plumbing is old, but we just wanted the leak…
Once again, Western Rooter and Plumbing came to our rescue! When a clogger sewer line threatened to close our business, they diagnosed and cleared the line swiftly. In addition, the plumber was incredibly professional and communicated with us throughout the process.
We started to have some issues with our water heater, Cynthia got someone out here the next day to take a look and we decided to replace it.

I had Western Rooter come out and add an entire ADU to our house. They ran water and gas lines across the yard and performed all the inside work. They did an absolutely fantastic job.

He came to check my toilet regarding replacing. Did a very good job explaining what was needed!
They are very responsive and professional. Only thing is they are on the expensive side. Debating whether to go to another company to cut cost.
Ricky is on top of everything. Great team work .. felipe, carlos, david and all the master U pipe crew bringing the excellent job. I did the re-liner on my old pipe and replaced the line pipe with the pvc piper... which done in 2 days. Thanks for the service and really recommend.

I can't rave about Western enough. I found these guys about 4 years ago, and my only regret is that I didn't find them sooner. As a professional property manager I rely heavily on my contractors.

I have a pool drain that runs from the decking to the curb that was clogged. I called and RJ Hernandez showed up promptly. He ran a camera down the 60 year old clay pipe, and identified the problem as a broken pipe in one place, and a tree root in another. He was able to get rid of the root, and cut a hole in the…
