Emergency Plumbing

Western Rooter provides round-the-clock emergency plumbing services for urgent issues like burst pipes, sewer backups, and gas leaks. Our rapid response team arrives within hours to minimize property damage. With 40+ years of experience, we handle residential and commercial emergencies using advanced diagnostic tools and repair techniques.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Our trenchless sewer repair eliminates the need for disruptive excavation through pipe bursting and lining technologies. This method preserves landscapes while fixing cracked or collapsed pipes. Ideal for commercial properties and homeowners seeking cost-effective, long-lasting solutions with minimal downtime and cleanup.

Hydrojet Plumbing

Hydrojetting uses 4,000 PSI water streams to clear stubborn clogs and buildup in sewer lines. This eco-friendly method removes tree roots, grease, and mineral deposits without chemicals. Recommended annually for preventive maintenance, it restores pipes to like-new condition and prevents future blockages in residential and commercial systems.

Water Heater Installation

We install energy-efficient tank and tankless water heaters from trusted brands like Noritz and Bradford White. Our experts assess your household's hot water needs to recommend optimal capacity and fuel type. Tankless models offer endless hot water with 15-20 year lifespans, while conventional units provide reliable performance at lower upfront costs.

Sewer Camera Inspection

Using high-resolution fiber optic cameras, we diagnose sewer line issues through ground-level access points. This non-invasive technique identifies cracks, root intrusion, and blockages with precision. Customers receive DVD documentation of findings, enabling targeted repairs that save time and reduce excavation costs for residential and commercial properties.

Manny called ahead of time and showed up in the promised timeslot. He was knowledgeable and friendly. Hopefully, the company will come up with a competitive bid and I can hire them to install a new tankless water heater.

This is the 3rd time I have used them, and I've been impressed each time. From a small clogged drain to a massive repiping, they are fast, they have BBC a great attitude, and they are quite reasonable. Don't hesitate to call them!

I have a one man plumbing company in the 626 area code in the San Gabriel Valley. I get lots of calls fortunately but sometimes I run into a job that is bigger than I can handle or require special expensive equipment and machinery I do not have. Rather than loose the customer I tell them the true about the situation and bring in John Bottala and his amazing crew from Western Rooter and Plumbing to help me with that tricky job.

I can rest assured these guys can pinch hit for me and get the job done right, finished in a timely manner, and make my customer happy. I could choose a number of other plumbing companies in my neighborhood to help me but I continue to work with the amazing technicians at Western Rooter and Plumbing because of their exceptional performance. Check out Western Rooter neighbors. You won't be disappointed. Dave Doyle

Had a drain clogged in my kitchen and was able to book an appointment right away. Technician (Albert) came out, diagnosed the issue, and fixed it so the problem wouldn't come back in future. He explained exactly what he was going to do and went straight to it! I've used Western Rooter for years and they've been consistently fantastic to work with. Great value, great quality, great people.
