They came out the same day that I called with my emergency. The person was fast and thorough.
They worked on December 31, even though it was a holiday as well as New Years, and they did an excellent job. They made sure that all the work was done professionally thank you Eric. You will always be highly recommend.

About Our Alhambra Plumbers
Rooter & Plumbing Masters serves Alhambra from the Montebello shop a few miles down the road — the bungalow blocks north of Main Street, the apartment and condo buildings that fill the middle of the city, and the restaurants along Valley Boulevard. Our licensed Alhambra plumbers clear drains, replace sewer laterals, fix water heaters and find leaks, and the estimate is free with the price set before a tool comes off the truck.
Alhambra has two kinds of plumbing. The Craftsman and Spanish bungalows on its older streets date from the 1910s through the 1930s and still run clay sewer laterals under mature street trees and, often, the galvanized supply pipe they were built with. Then there is the apartment and condominium stock of the 1960s through the 1980s, some of the densest in the San Gabriel Valley, where a shared drain stack carries a whole building through one pipe. Along Valley Boulevard and Main Street, one of the busiest restaurant corridors in the region sends more grease at its lines than almost anywhere else we work.
Plumbing Problems We See Most in Alhambra
Root intrusion in clay sewer laterals — the tree-lined blocks that make the old neighborhoods are the same reason their sewer joints fail. A camera inspection shows exactly where.
Apartment-building drain backups — one unit’s clog on a shared stack becomes every unit’s problem. Cleaned end to end, it stops for the whole building.
Restaurant grease lines on Valley Boulevard — scheduled jetting that stays ahead of the backup, and emergency clearing when it does not.
Low pressure from galvanized supply pipe — corrosion closes it from the inside long before it leaks; repiping is the fix when spot repairs stop making sense.

Additional Information
Why do sewer lines in Alhambra’s older neighborhoods back up so often?
Clay pipe and big trees. The laterals under the 1920s blocks are made of short clay sections, and the joints between them are exactly where roots get in. Once roots are established, snaking buys a few months and the blockage returns. A sewer camera inspection shows whether you are dealing with roots, buildup or a broken section — and which fix actually ends the cycle.
Who do I call when the whole building’s drains back up?
Us, and the sooner the better, because a shared stack that has backed up into one ground-floor unit is about to reach the next. An Alhambra condo or apartment building gets a licensed crew that cleans the stack and the common lateral end to end, a written estimate before the work, and, if the manager wants it, a cleaning interval set after we have seen the pipe so the emergency does not repeat.
Call Before the Slow Drain Becomes a Flooded Floor
Old clay and galvanized pipe fail with little notice. A sink that drains slower every month, a sewer smell in the yard, pressure that has dropped at every tap — each is the early version of a much bigger bill. Rooter & Plumbing Masters will look, tell you what it is, and price the fix before doing it.

Common Questions
Plumbers in Alhambra, CA — Common Questions
Is there a plumber available in Alhambra right now?
Yes. Rooter & Plumbing Masters runs open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends and holidays. Calls to (888) 855-6680 are answered by a person rather than an answering service, and crews are dispatched from our own shop at 1601 Paramount Blvd. in Montebello.
How much does a plumber cost in Alhambra?
It depends on what is wrong, how accessible the pipe is and whether the fix is a repair or a replacement, so no honest plumber can quote a figure over the phone without knowing those. The estimate is free, and you get the price for the job before any work starts. Financing is available if the repair is a large one.
Are you licensed and insured to work in Alhambra?
Yes. Rooter & Plumbing Masters holds California CSLB contractor license #1004038 and carries insurance. You can verify the license yourself through the CSLB's public license lookup — we would rather you did.
How quickly can you get to Alhambra?
We offer same-day availability and we will not promise you an arrival window before we know what else is running. Call (888) 855-6680 and the dispatcher will give you a real time rather than a guess. Alhambra is inside our regular service area, so it is not an out-of-area trip.
