The Drain Defender

George is great! We had a back up while my wife and I were out of town. George came out cleared the back up and explained that I needed to have my sewer line repaired. He communicated great over the phone showed my father the problem. He replaced it quickly then when I got back in town a couple weeks later he came back to explain what he did as well as show me the line with the camera. He did not have to come back to explain it to me but he did. That is excellent customer service. When I called another plumber about the back up he want to charge me after hours rate as well as a high price just to look at the problem. I am glad I found The Drain Defenders they took great care of my situation and provided excellent customer service.

George and his son Jordan are awesome! These guys have helped me and my family through some tough times with there reliable and expertise plumbing service. George is the go to guy for all your plumbing needs. Whether its a sewer line problem or other large plumbing issue, they are there for you. Thank you George and Jordan. We love you guys — Sarkis and George T&H Auto Body and Paint

Great service. Fast. Great price. Fixed problems well arrived fast on short notice and made everything run smoothly.

Jordan was great! Took care of the problem in no time, and at an affordable price. Honestly, I would recommend the Drain Defenders to anyone!

Great company! We had a plumbing situation over the Holidays, on a Saturday morning, and I called them based on a friend’s referral. I spoke to George and in less than two hours Mario was at our door. He found the problem and took care of everything promptly. He was extremely polite and very professional — and best of all, no crazy fees.

These guys are awesome. There was burst pipe in the kitchen and it was a small disaster. George was able to come out and repair it, along with bringing a restoration crew. He helped us out in so many ways.
We use Drain Defenders for all of our plumbing issues now. Their prices are fair and they are so helpful and extremely accommodating.

my review is a bit late, but i feel i still must Unilocal!thank god for the drain defender. we got back for a late outing on a holiday. of couse to see ou main water valve leaking. of course this would happen in the middle of the nite on a holiday. only me right, apparently not. i jumped on Unilocal to find a reputable plumber. the drain defenders were my first call. even though he wasn’t able to come right out that moment he heard my panic and instructed me how to temporally fix the problem til they could get someone out. when they came out they were so helpful and courtious, got the job done and thank goodness didn’t break my piggy bank. these guys were a blessing i will use them again.

Kitchen drain stopped up and I was fresh out of hospital from minor surgery and wife was really concerned about both issues. Looked up drain cleaners and Drain Defenders popped up– called and within 35 minutes Jordan showed up, cleared drain in a most professional manner and then made sure he cleaned up outside around the area he worked. Cost was so reasonable I was shocked. I would highly recommend these folks.

I was in a tough situation, needed an emergency sewer inspection done on a house I was about to purchase. Found Drain Defender on Unilocal along with a few other companies. Told them all my situation, George was the only guy that was willing to come out the following day to perform the camera inspection. Turned out to be crucial, he found a busted sewer line which I was able to bring to the owner’s attention. I would’ve been out some serious cash if George hadn’t taken the time to listen to me, and help me out. All future plumbing work in my new home will be going his way. Strongly recommend these guys.

These guys are great!
My entire plumbing was backed up, and with a house full of kids I was seriously STRESSED out, and all this on a Sunday… but thankfully I found The Drain Defenders. I definitely recommend them to everyone. Ask for Jordan, in no time at all he had everything working perfectly. Thank you

After two years of keeping it flowing, it finally became time to replace our sewer line so of course I called George! He did a trenchless replacement for less than my friends and neighbors paid, did it quickly, and as usual he and his team were polite and efficient on the job. He even offered less expensive stop-​gap measures but ultimately we had him do the «full job.» I’ll never call anyone else!

I always try and go with family owned business whenever possible. Like everyone looking for a plumber around the holidays, of course I had an immediate need. My bathtub wasn’t draining. Tried the usual drain chems which usually work. But alas, too much hair has probably clogged up the tub. Called these guys based on customer reviews for my immediate area. Spoke to George and he agreed to come out within the hour.
***Usually plumbers charge overtime during off hours, weekends and holidays but they do not. That’s pretty rare.***
George and his son Jordan were at my door in under an hour and fixed up the stoppage in less than an hour. They were friendly, efficient, cleaned up after themselves and affordable. George was nice enough to give me a little bit of a discount as well. I’ll be using these guys for future plumbing needs. And I’ll be sure to recommend them to others. Thanks for doing a great job guys.
I will definitely use The Drain Defender again for future plumbing needs and will highly recommend them to others.

So as with most people reviewing a plumbing company, I had a major plumbing problem LOL. The weekend after Thanksgiving I had a sewer pipe break, The house was built in 1956 and I think that the pipes may have been the ones the builders put in back then. I called on Sunday afternoon and they were out to see me and my problem first thing Monday morning. The gave me a great price to re-​plumb the whole houses sewer lines. Mario really put me at ease about the whole thing. He was able to get started the next morning and were done two days later exactly as he told me.
Everyone that worked on it were nice and very efficient. I had one other problem that had to do with the venting on the bathroom and they were able to fix it. I plan on using them anytime that I have a Plumbing problem. Great Company.

A fantastic experience from start to finish :)
Let me preface this with a) the limited occasions for the of use the word «fantastic» when referring to plumbing repair, and b) the fact that we had to part with a lot of money due to needing a main line, trenchless replacement. Even so, still going to go with the all-​the-​more meaningful word «fantastic.»
OK, so here it is… Poop kept invading our house. We have a couple toddlers, so I have a hard enough time keeping poop off me & our stuff. NOTHING can prepare you for waking up or coming home to poop flooding out of the toilet and on to your life. Once it gets in the carpets it’s NEVER COMING OUT.
I should probably bring up the villain in this tale: The Ficus
We’ve had a love/​hate relationship with our ficus trees in the front since we moved in a few years back. They’re pretty! They have birds in them! They’re the only plant this parent-​of-​young children has managed not to kill due to lack of care or watering in the front of our house! All that said, ficus are also vile, invasive, water-​hunting, pipe-​destroying predators.
As you can imagine, the ficus tree that some genius (maybe before Google?!) planted directly over our mainline plumbing caused issues. I did extensive research on the options to resolve this (tree removal, hydro jetting, pipe materials (ours were clay), trenched and trenchless repairs [fun fact: Eric Wood invented the latter in 1971]); in the end, we decided that a camera check & the trenchless would probably be the way to go.
I located several nearby companies with the expected qualifications that they be experienced in trenchless repairs, are licensed, bonded, and insured, have decent Unilocal reviews, and didn’t have any BBBureau complaints. With some price comparison, Drain Defender came out on top. They’re genuinely a nice group of people to work with. It’s like having a kind uncle pick up the phone and let you know it’s all going to be taken care of, quickly, for a fair price.
So at last, we stuck a camera down into the undermost regions of our driveway. The find? OMG sweet-​potato-​sized roots invading along the length of the main line. Dirt filling the pipes. Madness & despair.
Luckily Mario & the Drain Defenders team were able to get us a quick quote and have the whole job (cutting cement, digging WAY deep, pipe bursting & trenchless replacement, city permits & inspection, cement re-​pour) done & wrapped up in just 2 days! That’s crazy fast (because they’re pros).
So all in all, I don’t wish a main line repair on anyone; but if you have one, these guys are a good decision waiting to happen.
And I’m a real person and all, so mssg me if you want any further details.
Good luck out there brave LA homeowners!

These guys are the real deal. Honest, upfront, personable, skilled and reasonable. I needed a plumber to fix two toilets in my house. They were very communicative in setting up a time, and they were out here the next day. Jordan arrived at my house, and assessed the situation, which needed parts. He went out to get the parts and came back, promptly. They made sure the work was perfect, and left me with a very fair bill. They even gave me a Starbucks gift card. I will definitely be using them again.

These guys are awesome! Yesterday during Thanksgiving dinner our kitchen sink got clogged up (of course it did!). I first tried calling Roto-​Rotor. Big Mistake. They wanted $ 400 to un-​clog the drain. Said it would take an hour and a half to do. I paid them $ 50 to go away. So then I called George at The Drain Defender. He answered the phone himself on Thanksgiving evening. Already a good sign! I asked if he could come the next morning. He said he could be there at 10:00AM and he was there at 10:00AM with his apprentice Pablo. They were in-​and-​out in a half-​hour and charged me a quarter of the price of Roto-Rotor’s holiday rate. George is now my go-​to plumber. I highly recommend them. A+

These guys are awesome!
I called them up last minute for a backed up toilet and they were in and out in minutes!
George wasn’t even on call and he took my call and came out to help.

Called for a mysterious leak in the garage, and George had Mario over the same day! It ended up being related to the air conditioner unit vs pipes, but I was grateful for the quick attention… so much so that I had them also check out a slow draining bathtub that had been bothering me for months, which Mario snaked to clear for a very reasonable cost.
These guys are fast, courteous, and reliable. I am excited to have them in my phone! Thanks guys!

Easily the best guys. They’re prompt, available, friendly and willing to work with your budget. I assistant manage a triplex, and when our tenant had a broken shower, our regular plumber wasn’t able to be reached.
Called these guys, and within an HOUR, they were there and able to fix the problem at a fraction of the price.
Mario is the man, as has been stated on numerous reviews here. Couldn’t be happier with them!

George came zooming over and handled the problem with the kitchen drain stoppage quickly. He said I did NOT need a clean out installed and for it to be hydro-​jetted like the prior plumber told us. He also took care of a small leak under the sink while he was at it.
Thank you, George!
