    Anyone? Got a job on hand that needs a pro and will probably lead to a repipe. I went to replace my hot water heater and removed the old lines and the galvanized inside is rusted to shit I'm going to guess that all the pipes are like this im surprised that I even had water flowing. 20190601_133802.jpg 20190601_133806.jpg

    I am not sure I would recommend the plumber I used.

    On one hand he did pretty good work and I can't say I am not happy with the end product.
    On the other hand his communication and accounting of hours was complete shit. I was pretty shocked when I got the bill but then after getting the bill for other trades it actually didn't seem that bad. When HE was doing the work he worked quickly and efficiently. When his guys were doing work and he wasn't their they had NO SENSE OR URGENCY.

    @Shmellmopwho should I contact him directly? If he can give my landlord a quote on his own he can probably get the job as long as it doesnt take long

    Thanks guys!
    Unfortunately being in San Gabriel valley now and my new work schedule it’s not something I could commit to and this looks like it’ll need attention sooner rather than later. Thanks for the tag though!


    @1st4x4 I could definitely give you a contact for any service work. Message me directly and we can talk about everything needed and exchange numbers
