Rave Plumbing & Rooter

Juan & Randy saved the day for us! One of our exterior faucets stopped working and a bunch of water was spewing out nonstop. Our only solution to stop it was turning off our main waterline.

We called a few other plumbers and references, but they were either unavailable or didn't response.

Juan (owner) immediately picked up and had his technician, Randy, at our house in less than 20 minutes. Randy was friendly, professional and informative and provided us a breakdown of what was causing the issue and the solution. No upselling, very straightforward. Took him less than 30 minutes to finish up the faucet replacement (and allowing our son to watch what he was doing) and checked out water pressure to make sure everything else was running good!

A quick, but quality interaction with this company is all we needed to have them as our plumber moving forward :). A reliable, honest and excellent service company is hard to come by. So happy we ran into Rave Plumbing, highly recommend!

We had a 1" line punctured while doing some yard work. It was a Friday and late in the day. They got there quick and were friendly and helpful.

Here's the issue, the price. I almost passed out when he gave the number. They knew it was a Friday at the end of the day. They knew I needed water for the weekend and they took advantage of it. No question.

The guy was here for maybe 30 minutes and a bill of $850 is OUTRAGEOUS. Parts are maybe $50. Keep in mind, I shut off the water and dug out the repair area before he even arrived. Look elsewhere unless it's an emergency.

Great customer service, and very well trained plumbers with a lot of knowledge on how to do the job. Every question I asked was answered very well with a detailed and informative answer which was very helpful. A plumber by name of the Randy stopped by to install a new faucet for my upstairs bathroom, and fix a leak from the bottom of my toilet he was very professional,clean, and knowledgeable. He left no mess and was fast. I will be recommending Rave Plumbing & Rooter to my friends and family.

We used RAVE Plumbing & Rooter, as first time customers, yesterday and today, to clear badly clogged sink and main sewer lines. Yesterday they came quickly on an emergency basis after I unsuccessfully tried to engage four other plumbers. Our lowest toilet and adjacent tub were completely backed up, essentially shutting down our whole system. We were desperate.

DAY #1

Their technician Bryan was timely, courteous and knowledgeable--and thankfully, arriving in late afternoon, extended his workday to help us. He tried the external main sewer cleanout (difficult to access) without joy. So he had to reset the toilet and eventually use a medium duty snake to break through a root & wipes clog, which cleared the standing water. Never was so happy to hear gurgling!

Subsequently, his camera revealed an unexpectedly difficult situation. Because of several sags in the main line, over the time since the last cleaning (~8yrs), an astounding amount of grease had accumulated in the line, on top of two serious root incursions. So, while we were happy to have our plumbing system working again, things looked ominous. Thus, we scheduled RAVE to do a hydro-jet cleaning for this morning.

Day #1 total for about 3 hours of hard work (including two difficult power snakings and a toilet reset) was $750. Finally, Bryan was fastidious in his cleanup, which I greatly appreciated. He left around 7pm.

DAY #2

This morning supervisor John, Bryan, and Dario showed up at 9am (exactly on time) with the hydo-jet rig. As before, it was a bit of a difficult slog because of the solidified grease on the line (especially near the kitchen). They had to insert and withdraw the jet (@2000psi) several times to clear and retrieve the indurated material, progressively clearing the line. In the end, we had a totally clear, smooth PVC main line pipe on camera. About 60ft way, however, just uphill from the main sewer cleanout, they imaged the remains of two major root incursions, on either end of an ancient (60yrs+) section of clay pipe. Nevertheless, we now, despite a few remaining roots, have a fully functioning cleaned plumbing system.

Day #2: $500 (previously agreed price) for about 2.5hrs work for two men (Bryan and Dario; supervisor John left after things got underway). The two, again, were fastidious in their cleanup of a messy job. Much appreciated.

Epilogue: Though we have a working clean system, if we don't correct the major root incursions, the clogs will recur. One solution is to trench both sides of the ancient clay pipe section, insert a plastic liner and seal the joints at both ends. This will cost thousands and will require breaking surface concrete, but will hopefully be a quasi-permanent solution. Alternatively, we can let it continue the way it is, anticipating the next hydro-clean and snaking session. If we decide on the trenching solution (highly likely), I will call RAVE to do the work--I liked their attitude and professionalism.

Conclusion: competent and careful work, pleasant courteous friendly technicians and boss, quick response and efficient work, standard pricing and accurate estimate, excelkent cleanup, clear step-by-step explanations.

I highly recommend RAVE Plumbing & Rooter in La Crescenta.

Highly recommend Rave Plumbing! They were able to come out quickly. They were very knowledgeable, courteous, and exceptionally efficient. They did great work!

Hands down the most professional and hard-working crew. Our main line broke, and my neighbor across the street put me in touch with Rave. They were very busy that day, and my water had been turned off for 2 days already. Juan came early to check things out. We are renters, so he had to deal with my landlord. I was so impressed with his professionalism and kindness. Landlord gave him the green light. They busted their asses. Crew was great. You would never know they had to dig a trench in my front yard. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
