10 Best Plumbers in Los Angeles, CA

We checked ratings, review volume, and licensing across Los Angeles plumbers to build this list of 5, replacing one entry that had too few reviews and an email tied to an outside marketing agency rather than the business itself with Pacific Plumbing Team, a licensed, heavily reviewed company with a stated no-overtime-charge policy.

Our top 10 plumbing companies in Los Angeles

How to choose a plumber in Los Angeles

  • Verify insurance and credentials

    Ask for a current certificate of insurance and confirm registration or licensing with the authority that issues it, not with the company.

  • Ask for a written estimate

    Scope, materials, removal, disposal and who pulls the permit should all be named on the page rather than agreed on the doorstep.

  • Compare multiple quotes

    Two or three bids on the same scope. A number far below the others usually means something has been left out of it.

  • Understand the warranty

    Separate the manufacturer's warranty on materials from the company's own warranty on the work, and get both in writing.

  • Ask who performs the work

    Find out whether the crew are employees or subcontractors, and who supervises them on the day.

  • Check recent local projects

    Ask for addresses or photographs of comparable jobs finished nearby in the last year or two.

  • Avoid high-pressure sales

    A discount that expires today, or a knock on the door after a storm, is a reason to slow down rather than sign.

  • Get everything in writing

    Change orders, timeline and payment schedule included, before the first payment changes hands.

Questions to ask before hiring

  • Are you insured, and can you send the certificate?
  • How long have you worked in this area?
  • Will you provide a written estimate with materials listed?
  • What warranty do you offer on the work itself?
  • Do you use subcontractors for this job?
  • Who handles permits and inspection?
  • What would you recommend here, and why?
  • How are unexpected costs handled once work starts?
  • What is the estimated timeline from start to finish?
  • Can you provide recent local references?

Red flags

  • No verifiable local business address or registration
  • Pressure to sign on the first visit
  • A demand for full payment up front
  • An offer to cover or waive your insurance deductible
  • Refusal to put warranty terms in writing
  • A quote that will not itemize scope

Plumbing companies in Los Angeles FAQs

  • How do I check a California contractor license?

    Search the license number on the California Contractors State License Board website. Confirm the license is active, matches the company name, and check for any disciplinary actions before hiring.

  • What does a typical Los Angeles plumbing service call cost?

    Pricing depends on job scope and whether a company charges flat-rate or time-and-materials, and many LA plumbers add an overtime surcharge for evening or weekend calls, so ask about that surcharge policy before booking.

  • Why do older Los Angeles homes need cast iron or clay sewer line replacement so often?

    Much of the city's pre-1960s housing was plumbed with cast iron or clay drain lines, and those materials are now well past their typical service life, so corrosion and tree root intrusion are common causes of backups in older neighborhoods.
