Water Heater Installation and Replacement
Jose came out to trouble my 6 year old water heater which stopped heating and would not respond to my efforts. After a long and thorough attempt to fix the situation, the heater declined to participate. Jose outlined my options and explained in detail what he wanted me to know before deciding to purchase a new system. Once I decided, Jose worked out a plan for me. He made sure his supplier was open on Christmas Eve so he could pick it up and install for me the same day. Jose returned early the next day with his partner to change out the old system (from 2nd floor) and haul the new tank up those pesky stairs. Super Heroes, absolutely. They worked diligently until the job was completed. Jose explained the features/answered my questions and gave me a very fair price. I definitely plan to call him for future needs. He's the best. I sincerely urge you to call Jose for your next plumbing debacle. Kudos. -- Dawn

Jose is an excellent professional! I needed my water heater replaced and a new one installed the same day. Jose gave me a great quote and honored it. He arrived quickly and got the entire job done within a few hours. It works well and looks great. He did a very thorough job and made sure all was well before leaving. I will definitely hire So-Cal plumbing and rooter next time, if and when needed!

Water Heater - Repair or Service
He found the issues quickly and effectively. They gave me an even better price than the original price I paid for the heater to be installed in the first place. It took about an hour and a half to be completed, super quick.

They did a fantastic job! Replaced all plumbing underneath the kitchen, and in the wall to the sink, and finished before lunchtime. Came back the next day to vacuum out the standing water under the house and treat it. I highly recommend them! - Steve K.

Jose of So Cal Plumbing was very efficient in solving our plumbing problem. He explained the situation clearly and gave us cost options. His crew completed the project quickly and cleaned up afterwards. I would have So Cal Plumbing back for any plumbing issues in the future.

Drain Clog or Blockage Clearing
Jose arrived as promised and on time. Did a fantastic job cleaning up the mess we had with the clogged kitchen sink / grease using the hydro jet equipment and used the camera to show the end results, he cleaned up his stuff very well after. He is pricing was very competitive (lowest bid) I got from different contractors. He certainly a keeper, highly recommend!

Jose and his co-workers were great. He arrived promptly, figured out where the clogs were and cleared them with a combination of hydro jetting and root cutting. When the work was completed he tested for clogs and installed a riser and cleaned up so you couldn’t tell any work was done at all. Highly recommend So Cal Plumbing and Rooter!

Jose is the real MVP of the plumbing world, truly. He is THE expert in his field with over 26 years of knowledge and experience. His honesty, transparency, and direct engagement with clients, avoiding the typical runaround often encountered with larger companies, set him apart from other contractors. My project involved fixing incorrectly installed gas lines underneath my parents’ 70+ year old house in the San Gabriel Valley. Jose explained the issue in layman’s terms; he and his team were quick and efficient in getting the project completed - all while ensuring safety throughout the process. What truly distinguishes Jose is his commitment to client satisfaction. Not only did he promptly address any concerns post-project, but he also went above and beyond by ensuring a same-day follow-up to triple-check their work and provide peace of mind regarding safety. I am SO glad I found him and will sing his praises to everyone looking for top-tier plumbing services in the SGV and beyond!

The problem was the toilet. They hydro Jett the main sewer line , using a camera to demonstrate where roots were. Afterwards , the toilet flushing was still as slow as it ever was. Better support would have been to suggest YouTube video titled unbelievable Trick to Make Your Toilet Flush Like Never Before! On jayâ s How To Channel which showed how to remove calcium & lime deposits Fromm the jets of my toilet using extra strength vinegar poured many times down the overflow spout Iâ m the tank. They didnâ t even bother to check out the toilet until AFTER the sewer line Hydro-jet.
