What we handle

Eight things that go wrong underground.

Homes, restaurants, retail units and apartment buildings. Every photograph on this page is our own work or our own kit, shot on our own jobs. There is no stock photography anywhere on it.

Drain Cleaning

Kitchen, bath, laundry and floor drains cabled back to full flow, then run again before we pack up.

Hydro Jetting

Water at pressure, scouring the pipe wall back to bare instead of punching a hole through the grease.

A camera reel, a locating wand and the inspection monitor set out on the ground behind the van

Camera Inspection

A camera down the line before anyone quotes a repair, so you are looking at the pipe and not an opinion.

A cast iron drain pulled out of an excavation with a heavy mass of tree roots grown through it

Root Removal

Roots cut out, and the joint they came in through found. They grow back to the same crack otherwise.

Sewer Mainline

Broken, bellied and offset line dug out and replaced, from the fixture to the city connection.

Two pails of Perma-Liner vinyl ester resin beside the liner tube and the inversion drum, set out before a lining run

Pipe Lining

A new pipe cured inside the old one where the run allows it, so the floor and the drive stay put.

Commercial & Multifamily

Restaurants, retail and apartment buildings, worked in containment and around the hours you trade.

24/7 Emergency

A sewer picks its moment, and it is rarely a Tuesday morning. The phone is answered at any hour.

How each one is done

Not sure which one it is? Call (213) 682-4466 and describe what it is doing.

Anyone can clear a drain. The question is what put it there.

A cleared line and a fixed line are not the same thing, and the difference only shows up three months later. Here is the part of the job you would otherwise never see.

The camera goes in first

A blockage tells you almost nothing about why it blocked. So the camera goes down the line and you watch the monitor with us: the belly, the offset joint, the root, the break. You are looking at your own pipe, not at somebody’s opinion of it.

Jetting scours, cabling punches

A cable bores a hole through the grease and the water runs again for a while. Jetting takes the pipe wall back to bare, which is why we bring the jetter to the ones that keep coming back rather than selling you the same visit twice a year.

The cause, not the symptom

That hole opened up because a cast iron p-trap underneath it had broken and the ground had been washing away into it for years. Clearing the drain would have fixed the sink for a month. Finding the trap fixed the building.

Our work

Recent jobs.

A parking structure in Inglewood, a commercial kitchen taken back to bare ground, a mainline full of roots, a retail unit on a vendor call-out. All of it ours, all of it in this county.

Before the kit comes out

From the first call to the last look.

  1. Tell us what it is doing

    Call, or text a photo. Which fixtures are affected, how long it has been going on, and whether anyone has snaked it before.

  2. We look at the actual pipe

    The camera goes down the line where it earns its keep, so the diagnosis is a thing you can see rather than a thing you are told.

  3. You get the number first

    What it takes, what it costs, and what happens to the price if the camera turns up something worse further down.

  4. Cleared, then checked

    Cabled or jetted, run again, and looked at a second time before we pack up. Containment comes down, the floor goes back.

Who you get

The license has a name on it.

Richard David Martinez holds license #1159169, and he is the one on the floor when the concrete comes up. No call center, no dispatcher, nobody quoting your job off a photograph they were forwarded.

You can check every word of that. The license, the classification and the bond are all public record. The link is in the table below, and we would rather you looked.

He was lining pipe before this company existed. Waterline Renewal Technologies certified him on the CIPP and AIPPR processes in February 2025, while he was at J R Rooter & Plumbing Inc, and it runs to February 2027. The certificate has his name on it rather than a company’s, which is the point of it: the training came here with him.

Reviews

In their words, not ours.

Every review below is a verified five star, transcribed exactly as it was left, spelling and all. Ricky is named in all of them because he is the one who turns up.

Ricky, Jesus, and all the team that worked on our repair were a blessing. Unbeknownst to all of us, my plumbing issues were deep and needed immediate repair. Though it was a lot of unforeseen work, Ricky and Jesus worked with the best of dispositions and as quickly as possible to repair my mainline. They were honest about the cost of every option and worked with me on considering them all. And after tons of digging, after the repair, they left my yard as if it had never been touched. The care, dignity, and professionalism with which they do their work is admirable and very much appreciated. Will recommend them to everyone I know!

Ricky and his buddy were so genuine with their professionalism, easy to work and communicate with. I am gonna hire them for four other jobs, because the value, honesty, and good work etiquette they presented upon first impression goes a long way. Five stars.

Ricky was very professional and responsive throughout the process. As soon as we reached out, he promptly assessed the situation, communicated clearly, and provided an effective solution. Thanks to his help, the issue was resolved quickly and smoothly.

Which fixtures are affected and roughly how long it has been going on is enough to start with. If it is backing up right now, the phone is faster than the form, and it is answered at any hour.
