Best Shower Stoppage in Los Angeles CA

Awesome service ! Had a bad clog in the shower plunging and drano didn’t work , gave em a call and within a couple hours they had come and fixed it and were super nice and helpful would definitely use em again!

Good old fashioned speedy and competent service. When you have a plumbing issue you want it solved, fast. I called several companies before I found Mr. Speedy. Mr. Speedy was the only company which didn’t give me the run around. They just took care of it. And the plumber who did the work was friendly and tidy.

Stop! Here is the best plumber I have ever hired...no need to look further to find a professional to help you with your home!
Finding a good plumber is very difficult (even stressful) these days. I'm so grateful that I found Elan Plumbing. They were very quick to respond, and very honest. I wish I could give Elan more stars because they helped me so much with my house. They're clean, they leave the work area spotless without being asked. No job is too small or too big for them; they treat your house as if it were their own. My only regret is that I didn't find them sooner! If you want peace of mind, and an excellent job, I highly recommend Elan for all your plumbing needs. They are very professional, and explain everything before starting work. Their prices are more than reasonable for the work that they do. I will definitely use them from here on out! I have used Elan several more times since finding this gem! You will not be disappointed.

Called this business to unclog a drain,
I took a chance because I've been taken advantaged of by the bigger plumbing companies in the past. He is a very nice honest man who is licenced and contracted...if he couldn't unclog their would be no charge..other companies charge just to come to your house.

Richards Rooter and Plumbing has great reviews but my experience was disappointing. First, it was $250 to even come to our apartment building (which would then be applied towards the repair.) Then it was $750 (so an additional $500) to cut open the wall and find the leak, even though I correctly identified where the hot water pipe was leaking based on feeling a warm spot on the wall.

Richard suggested a temporary clamp for another $500 (though he said it’d be free if it didn’t work) and coming back to fix it the next day (it was 2:30pm). I asked if it could just be fixed today and had to leave for an appointment and he set about cutting open more of the wall to see the extent of the corrosion. By the time I came back at 4:30pm, he’d put on the temporary clamp which didn’t fully stop the leak (still requesting $500 for it) and said he could fix it at 9am for $2000 with the clamp $500 going towards it (so $1500 more).

I felt like the charges were really high, especially since water was still leaking into the units below. The way Richard seemed more focused on getting paid than actually fixing the leak made me feel like he was taking advantage of the situation and didn’t seem to care about water dripping into people’s homes.

Later that evening, another resident called their own plumber unbeknownst to me and had him fix the leak that night (for $600). I texted Richard as soon as I learned of this so as not to waste his time and he got a little salty, texting things like “And we have a contract if that means anything to you” even though he only wrote an estimate for the repair.

All in all, Richard was available, communicative, and showed up when called, but he was ineffective, expensive, and then snarky when he didn’t get his way. He couldn’t fix two pinhole leaks (even temporarily) for $1250. He would have charged an additional $1500 to do a job that someone else did for $600. I only hope my experience informs others.
