Had an emergency clog in the main line from flushing some food (big mistake). Called these guys and they came out within an hour and had it uncloged shortly after. The technician Michael did a great job and explained everything as he went. Very professional. Asked if he should remove shoes before coming in. He let me know that it was the main line after seeing debris in the shower that I had missed. He also told me if he could not unclog they would do a free camera inspection. Would recommend!

Third review I'm leaving for Hard Hat Plumbing - they always go above and beyond which is why I always call them back when I have issues!
Today we were washing dishes and found water spraying everywhere under the sink. Called Hard Hat immediately, and Michael showed up promptly within an hour. Michael is absolutely the best - we had several small things we wanted fixed in addition to the water spraying issue and he went above and beyond to fix them for us. He is friendly and kept us updated of his progress. We were totally comfortable having him in our home!
First, he checked out the pipes under the sink, even took apart the garbage disposal to make sure it wasn't the issue. Turns out the pipes under the sink were super old and leaky so he went to Home Depot and got the parts to replace them.
Then, he installed a new faucet for us. We had been wanting to install a new faucet and already had one picked out so we asked him to do it today as well. Michael really goes above and beyond - not only did he install the faucet, he also consulted us on positioning of the handle, and cleaned up some of the calcification on the counter before installing it.
Lastly, they don't really fix dishwashers but our dishwasher leaks through the aerator so we asked him if he'd take a look. He quickly diagnosed the issue (a cap blocking the dishwasher drain) and removed it for us free of charge. Then, he even helped us put some WD 40 on the squeaky hinges.
It really made our day to get such quality plumbing work done by Michael at an affordable price. Now we can continue to use our kitchen sink free of worry.
Thank you Michael! It was a joy having you in our home and we cannot thank you enough for your exceptional service and kindness.Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0Aug 25, 2023Previous reviewThis is my second time using Hard Hat Plumbing and once again I was not disappointed. SoCal gas showed up Tuesday morning saying I had a gas leak, then shut off my gas and told me I needed to call a plumber to fix the gas line before I could have gas.
Ralph and Chris came out immediately the next day to diagnose the problem. They found out with just a little digging that the pipes going into the dirt right by my gas meter were completely rotted and leaking tons of air. They gave me an affordable estimate and came back the next day with two guys to fix the problem.
Even though it was a hot day, Chris and team worked fast to dig and replace the piping with new pipe. They were very efficient and clean. The whole team was kind and considerate and they didn't try to upcharge me. Price was very fair and affordable.
I also want to note that a few other local plumbers turned me away when they found out that the job was for a condo. Ralph and Chris never said a word about it and they were happy to do the work.
Thanks Hard Hat Plumbing team for making a very stressful week much less stressful for me! SoCal gas came out today and they turned back on the gas and said that there was no leakage after pressure testing the system. Now I have hot water again!Nov 14, 2022Previous reviewWoke up to my toilet leaking water all over the place. I frantically cleaned up and tried to tighten the bolts myself. That didn't work so I gave Hard Hat Rooter and Plumbing a call at 8:15.
Michael was here at 9:30 sharp and immediately fixed the issue (just needed a new wax ring). He checked for water damage under the tiling and checked to make sure there wasn't a blockage in the pipes underneath. He made sure the wax ring fixed the leak by flushing a few times. He also caulked the bottom of the toilet for us. Price was reasonable and worth the peace of mind. Michael was very speedy and thorough and left my bathroom very clean after he finished fixing the toilet.
Thank you Michael and thank you Hard Hat Rooter and Plumbing for the very quick fix - you certainly saved me a day of anxiety as other plumbers said they would not be able to get out here until later this afternoon. - Paula R.Toluca Lake, CA016Apr 13, 2024
Plumbing emergencies are never fun, but Chris and his team made it the best possible experience. They came quickly and gave an honest assessment. They then fixed the issue with so much care and respect that by the end of the day we were up and working again and you couldn't even tell where the excavation had been made. I'm very thankful and highly recommend them. In related news - let our adventure be a cautionary tale and warn kiddos to NOT put rocks down sewer catches. Sigh.

Kitchen sink backed up, Michael came out the same day I called and fixed it all up! Best part, as I'm super curious and tried to fix the problem the day before, Michael explained what he was doing and why and I learned a lot.
Pricing was up front and itemized as he went. Super competitive.
I appreciate the work Hard Hat!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Royal R.Los Angeles, CA07Mar 8, 2024
My husband received Ralphs contact information and after meeting Ralph he is such an honest, caring, and knowledgeable person. He provided different options and gave us his professional recommendation on changing out the sewer line. I immediately felt with his professionalism that there was absolutely no way I would even consider using someone else. Thank you so much Ralph for the help.

I had Ralph come out to check my pipe because it stank like sewage. He went in the crawl space and told me my contractor did a bad job. He didn't charge me. Wow. When the right time comes, I will do business with them. He told me all the wrong things that were done incorrectly too! Thank you so much!!

A MAJOR issue with our nearly 100 year old sewer pipe in our yard led us to Hard Hat Rooter and Plumbing. They were our first and only call!
From the initial call to the minute they left, this was a great experience. Responsive and respectful, they did great work and, save for having to wait for rain to stop, were done in impressive time! Pricing was fair, and communication was excellent.
I have already referred them and cannot recommend enough if you need any plumbing work at your place.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jae L.Shadow Hills, Los Angeles, CA043Sep 12, 2023
I had the pleasure of hiring Hard Hat Plumbing for some urgent plumbing issues at my home, and I couldn't be happier with the service I received. From start to finish, they were professional, efficient, and truly saved the day.

I was recommended to Ralph by one of my real estate referral partners. After shopping around, the moment Ralph came into our house I got such good vibes. He is very honest and up front which was very important to us. Not only did he give us a great price on the project but he understood the urgency of getting this project done and has his guys working the next morning for us. From what turned out to be something very stressful he was able to help us go through this process smoothly and stress free. they are currently still working on the project but I don't have anything but amazing things to say about him. He is replacing our entire sewer line in our bathrooms and moving the plumbing. He knowledge and advice was exactly what we were looking for. If you need a good plumb Ralph and his team are your men!

These guys are very experienced and will take care of your plumbing problems without an issue. I would definitely put them on your list of reliable Plumbers.
Chris and his team took care of us from Day 1 by redoing all of our Drainage underneath our home, including the Main Drainage from the house to the main-line. Not to mention installing an Earthquake shut off valve and having his team fix a leak as well.
I have respect for their hard work and they will let you know of any issues they come across too. Honestly, they called all the right reasons to fix up things and did a great job sealing the plumbing up correctly.
Call these guys if you need a serious home-project or upgrade-- they will get it done!Helpful 1Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0
