Call NOW: (626) 889-7990! Available 24/7 for all your plumbing needs! At the heart of our services is a commitment to comprehensive plumbing solutions - from water, sewer, to gas lines, we handle it all. Our expertise spans routine maintenance to urgent emergency repairs, ensuring your plumbing is always in top condition. Drain cleaning? We're on it with both traditional and hydro jetting techniques. But that's just the start. We offer water heater services, including both classic and cutting-edge tankless installations, repairs, and maintenance, ensuring your hot water flow is uninterrupted. Our approach to clean, safe water extends to installing water treatment systems, including softeners and filtration, for pure, drinkable water right from your tap. We're also proactive about the health of your plumbing and sewer lines, offering detailed inspections with our sewer scope technology. Many maintenance services come with complimentary camera inspections to extend your system's lifespan and pinpoint any issues early on. Gas lines and safety valves, especially emergency earthquake shutoffs, are within our expertise, along with certified under street repairs. And for those with septic systems, we provide thorough septic pumping services. No matter the challenge - water, sewer, or gas lines - we're fully equipped to tackle it. Plus, we're thrilled to extend our free travel zone, now covering the Victorville area, bringing our reliable services closer to you!

"After discovering a leak (probably in the slab) of hot water, we just decided to replace the entire plumbing piping in our 30 years old 2 story house with 3 bathrooms. The copper pipes were replaced by durable flexible plastic pipes and the project also included replacing the water heater. The crew- Manny, Mitch and Josh promised to finish the project in 3 days- and they sure did it. The GREAT TEAM, efficient and professional, worked non stop and communicated with me before taking each next step. They reconnected about 20 points (such as washing machine, dishwasher, new water heater, multiple faucets and 3 toilets) The price is a little steep but the quality of the job looks very good."

All our technicians are now wearing a new set of gloves and booties into each home. All tools are wiped down with wipes made to kill germs, not just clean them before going back into the trucks.

Thank you for your continued business. We are not the typical plumbers, our guys are neat and clean, well groomed, respectful of you and your property. They arrive in a clean truck that is well stocked, and best of all we don't try to charge you a ridiculous amount of money to do a so-so job.

"The waste line from the washer was overflowing when the washing machine emptied out. Marc D. arrived on time, neatly dressed, very friendly. He examined the issue, found that the washing machine drain line was overflowing rather than leaking (as I had suspected initially). Luckily, there is a clean-out specifically for the laundry drain on the back of the wall. He opened the (painted-over) clean out and snaked it twice with the electric snaking device. He than tested the drain twice. No more overflow. The drain was flowing well. Since then I have used the washing machine multiple times. Problem solved!. I was quoted $ 145.- for the work and paid $ 130.50 with a 10% Angie's list coupon. I am very happy with this company and the work they did. Highly recommendable."

"Wesley was extremely responsive. He made all efforts allowing us to continue doing our business at home while he was assessing the problem, assembling his crews, and obtaining a City permit. We were well informed of the progress. His crew did an excellent and clean job, working long hours getting the job done. Including excavated to a depth of 10 feet, patched up our concrete driveway and patched up the AC roadway nicely.

Refrigerator installs or repairs FAQs

Warning signs of compressor failure include unusual operating sounds (clicking, buzzing, or humming), inadequate cooling despite the fan running, excessive heat around the compressor area, and frequent cycling on and off. Your refrigerator might also run continuously without reaching the proper temperature, causing food to spoil quickly. Before concluding it's a compressor issue, verify that your refrigerator has power and the correct temperature settings.

The value proposition depends on several factors. Compressor replacement makes financial sense for refrigerators under seven to 10 years old, especially premium models or those still under warranty. For units approaching or exceeding their expected 12 to 15-year lifespan, or when repair costs approach half the price of a new refrigerator, replacing the entire appliance offers better long-term value.

Refrigerator compressors function effectively for eight to 15 years, though this varies based on usage patterns, maintenance regularity, and manufacturing quality. Environmental factors like ambient temperature, power supply stability, and ventilation also impact longevity. Regular maintenance practices—including coil cleaning, ensuring adequate airflow around the unit, and avoiding overfilling—can significantly extend compressor life.

Refrigerator compressor replacement should be performed exclusively by EPA-certified professionals. The process involves handling refrigerant, which requires special licensing, training, and equipment to manage safely and legally. Amateur attempts risk environmentally harmful refrigerant leaks, component damage, warranty voiding, and potential safety hazards. The specialized tools and expertise required make this repair particularly unsuitable for DIY efforts.
