Services

Repipe Services

Repipe Services replace aging plumbing systems with modern materials like copper, PEX, or CPVC. This eliminates recurring leaks, improves water pressure, and prevents future damage. Ideal for homes with galvanized, polybutylene, or slab-leak-prone pipes, our turnkey process includes permits, material selection, and drywall restoration. Customers report 30-50% reductions in water bills post-installation.

Tankless Water Heaters

Tankless Water Heaters provide continuous hot water while reducing energy consumption by 20-30%. We install certified brands like Noritz and Rinnai, offering both propane and electric models. Systems include digital temperature control, compact design, and eligibility for manufacturer warranties. Customers avoid standby heat loss and enjoy longer equipment lifespan compared to traditional tanks.

Solar Water Heating

Solar Water Heating systems reduce utility costs by 50-80% using Heliodyne or SunEarth collectors. Our C-46 licensed team designs systems for residential and small commercial properties, qualifying for 30% federal tax credits and SoCalGas rebates. Installations include roof-mounted collectors, insulated storage tanks, and automated circulation controls for year-round efficiency.

Solar Photovoltaics

Solar Photovoltaics convert sunlight into electricity for homes and businesses up to 10kW. We offer grid-tied, off-grid, and battery backup configurations with full permitting assistance. Systems include high-efficiency panels, inverters, and monitoring software. Customers achieve energy independence while increasing property value through reduced grid dependency.

Emergency Plumbing addresses urgent issues like slab leaks, burst pipes, and water heater failures. Our rapid-response team provides same-day diagnostics and repairs using specialized leak detection equipment. Services include temporary shutoffs, pipe replacement, and water damage mitigation.

"The number you dialed is not in service." Dr. Piper is parked in the red zone on Beverly Glen Blvd. This risks ticketing and/or towing and restricts access to my driveway. There is plenty of room for Dr. Piper to pull up and park fully legally without being illegally parked at a red curb. Please move your vehicle immediately. If not, I may be have to report this.

We recently bought a home and discovered the tankless water heater needed to be replaced. After contacting several plumbers and getting multiple quotes, I called Rodi and described what needed to be done. I had already purchased most of the equipment for the job, and knowing that most plumbers like to promote and sell their own product, Rodi gave me a reasonable quote for labor only. His crew arrived on time and did a fantastic job with the installation.

The only issue that came up was that the recirculating pump I had purchased was the wrong one, so the crew called Rodi and he recommended the correct model. I couldn't believe the difference in the quality of the workmanship, compared to the previous installation that these guys did. They also did an awesome job cleaning up afterwards. I will definitely be calling them again when the need arises. Thank you Rodi and crew!

Great service. I had a problem with my water heater and honestly, I had absolutely no knowledge regarding this matter. Called the guys and told them what the problem is. Not only they explained everything in details to me, but their service was outstanding and quick. I highly recommend them.

Absolutely the WORST service work anyone could imagine. First the work took months longer than promised, then we find out that they used our old parts when they were supposed to be new. Now we just found out that the system wasn't even hooked up correctly. It is costing my HOA 0ver $9000 to fix what Malden and his Dr. Piper crew messed up.

Called these guys several times over about a month or so. Never got a person and never got a call-back. Maybe they're out of business? If not, maybe they should be?

I have used Dr Piper to install my Thermal Solar system. Malden was very knowledgeable about everything around the solar and how it works. He came with his crew and did the installation for only few days. Now I have free hot water and I am really happy with his service and professionalism. Highly recommended!

On the recommendation of a contractor, I hired these folks to repipe my house back in February 2011. They did an excellent job; the price was competitive, and unlike others they explained what they were doing and gave me options. A few weeks ago I had a leak in one wall and they came out, after 6 PM on a Friday, to open the wall and repair their work; as it turned out, an original part had failed, but even though it wasn't under their warranty, they found a hard-to-find part, came out on a Saturday and replaced two fittings, all for nothing. I would recommend them for any job as hard, honest and smart workers.
