“Today, I had my water heater replaced and received drain cleaning service through SoCal Plumbing and Rooter. I am very satisfied with their service. The work was professional, clean, and completed efficiently. In addition, the pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs water heater replacement or plumbing/drain cleaning services.”

“I thought my gas dryer was having issues with venting properly. Two guys came out within 20 minutes and verified there was no problem with the dryer vent and checked for a carbon monoxide leak since I had complained about feeling very ill and dizzy when the dryer was running. They also checked around my furnace and hot water heater and found no issues. As a safety precaution they installed a carbon monoxide detector near the dryer. While they were here I asked if they could replace a shower head for me and they did that as well. I greatly appreciate how thorough they were and would highly recommend them.”

“Very professional, quick to arrive, they even left the work area spotless. Top quality installation for some ball valves I needed put it. I will definitely call again in the future”

“Victor from SoCal Plumbing did a great job. He installed my garbage disposal and cleared a clog in my kitchen sink. He was polite, honest, and clearly very knowledgeable. He explained everything and made sure it was all working properly before leaving. I really appreciated his professionalism and would definitely recommend him.”

“I live in the Eagle Hills neighborhood in Brea, and we started having major drainage issues out of nowhere. Water was backing up into the shower and the kitchen sink was draining super slow. I called So Cal Plumbing because they had good local reviews and were close by. They came out the same afternoon, checked the line with their camera, and told me that a hydro-jetting service would clear everything out. I appreciated how clearly they explained what was going on and didn’t try to sell me anything extra. The hydro jetting worked way better than I expected. They flushed out years of buildup and a bunch of small roots from the main line. Within an hour, everything in the house was draining perfectly again. No smell, no backups, nothing. If you’re in Brea—especially in older neighborhoods”

“SoCal Plumbing & Rooter Inc. came to the rescue. I was able to find this company through Google and Yelp reviews which they were highly rated and local. Spoke with Joseph and explained that I had an overflowing sink and shower. No problem, he would schedule a technician to come out. Within a half hour, got a text from Eddie and said he would be there in five minutes. He was on time. Eddie got right to work with putting on boot covers to come inside and determined the problem. A fellow technician Guillermo, swung by to help out. Eddie who is the senior tech, ran into a problem with the drain plug. He quickly fixed the situation. Both got the drains to work. That made my wife happy that a plumbing company could come out right away. Thank you Eddie and Guillermo & Joseph!!! I highly ”

“Victor Santiago was the plumber that came out to our home to diagnose and repair a serious leak in our shower and install new shower equipment. He accurately assessed the problem, discussed the options for repair, said how long it would take and the cost. Victor was excellent and completely solved the problem in the timeframe he discussed. I’m very happy with the work he did and I plan to use So Cal Plumbing for all our plumbing needs in the future.”

“I had a kitchen grease clog where I had a previous plumber take a look and was unable to find the drain pipe and suggested a $4000 job to break concrete and physically inspect the pipe and overhaul it. I asked Socal Plumbing for a second opinion and they really provided incredible customer service and professionalism. They gave me some advice over the phone and told me that if they weren't able to unclog it like the previous plumber, they wouldn't charge me anything for doing a camera inspection and snake. Mikey and Eddie were able to unclog the drain and it was by some form of miracle. The reason it was so difficult to find and unclog was because whoever did my home's plumbing, put the fitting in the wrong orientation, therefore the camera and snake would run past the drain and towards th”

“Victor was great really nice, thorough with explaining the process and the work being done. The work was quick, clean and efficient. Joseph the owner was really nice too when I called and spoke to him. Really appreciate the integrity of company versus trying to make money off the customer. Highly recommend SoCal plumbing”

“Eddie Tlaseca did an excellent job to replace our toilet and we truly appreciate his efforts. Since we bought a wrong size toilet from home depot, Eddie called his boss to allow for extra time to wait for us to change the toilet from home depot. The price for the labor is reasonable. Highly recommended.”
