Western Rooter did a great job for us. Chucky and Jonathan were professional, knowledgeable, and thorough — they explained the work clearly and made sure everything was done right. Fair pricing and excellent service from start to finish. Highly recommend!

Daniel and Alex provided exceptional service replacing my kitchen sink setup.

The main sewer line is the critical backbone of your home's plumbing, and Jaime Sandoval and his team delivered. They dedicated an entire week to my large job, ensuring no scheduling conflicts.

I appreciate the after hours dispatch service; therefore, I have no problem with the price charged. However, I don't like the pressure and guilt of getting me to do something that's clearly outside of my control.

So we just had Western Rooter out like a week or two ago and they did a great job. Totally unrelated to our hot water tank issue we started noticing a damp dank smell in one of our bathrooms. The joys of a 1950's house. We also had a drainpipe on the back porch from the previous owner that we wanted capped off to…

We discovered rusty pipe stains on the ceiling right below the guest room bathtub after a 24-hour community-wide water shutoff, which had led us to fill the tub for water storage. Our home warranty assigned a contractor, who cut into the ceiling below the bathtub to locate the issue and quoted $950 to fix the pipes,…

I had an excellent experience today with Western Supreme who had two plumbers out within 20 minutes. My complex always uses this company, but I wanted to compliment the job done by the two plumbers today, both named Alberto. They responded quickly, fixed the problem efficiently, and cleaned up everything afterwards.…

The clay sewer line at my tenant's house is broken.
