Plumbing reviews in Cerritos, California

Our sewer line in the back kept clogging every few months, and regular snaking just wasn’t enough. They suggested hydro jetting, and wow, what a difference. The pressure cleared years of buildup, and they even showed me before-and-after footage of the pipe. It feels like my system is brand new again.

surprise sewage backup flooded my bathroom at two in the morning and I thought my weekend was ruined. I called the emergency line and someone picked up after the first ring which already felt reassuring. The crew arrived in about forty five minutes, laid down tarps to protect the floors, and walked me through the plan. They cleared the clogged main, ran a camera to confirm everything was flowing, and even showed me the video so I could see the fix. The area was cleaned and disinfected better than I expected, leaving no odor behind. For an emergency service the price felt fair and the whole experience turned a nightmare into just another story to tell.

Rob and his team are responsive, fast and reliable. They were here to fix our garbage disposal the next morning after I inquired and were able to take on the other projects that we needed/wanted to have done, like replacing an old regulator to allow us to control the water pressure for the house, and installing a new faucet / bidet seat. Won't hesitate to reach out again if I have any plumbing issues or new projects!

Our main sewer line kit backing up, and are after a few temporary fixes, we finally called in a professional plumber for a hydrating. The team arrived on time explained the entire process clearly and showed us the build up inside the pipes before they started. They use the hydrogen to its full potential and helped us out they got a lot of years of backed up debris out and we are so happy

My main sewer line backed up on a holiday weekend (naturally!). Fanti Sewer & Drain Pros responded immediately with their hydro jet service - no other plumbers in Cerritos CA would even answer my call. Their team cleared the clog completely and showed me camera footage of my pipes. Professional, knowledgeable, and worth every penny!

Rob from Fanti Sewer and Drain Pros was such a pleasure to work with. I was able to schedule an inspection at the last minute as I was running out of time in escrow. He was prompt and communicative. His price is very competitive and his work thorough and comprehensive. I highly recommend this company to everyone. Thank you so much for making this experience so easy, especial during this stressful time in escrow. Thank you.

They used a camera first to show the cracked section, then swapped out the bad pipe and added a clean‑out so future checks are easy. The crew kept the work area neat, laid plywood to protect the lawn, and even washed down the concrete when they finished. The price matched the estimate to the penny, and everything drains fast with zero smell now. Couldn’t have asked for a smoother main sewer repair experience.

FAnti Sewers was fast to respond when we reached out, and listened thoughtfully to what we'd already been able to safely attempt to address our clogged kitchen sink. Rob was luckily available on very short notice that Saturday, and was able to address the issue quickly and efficiently. As part of his attention to detail and care for his customers, he also provided us easy steps to prevent this becoming a recurring issue with our existing piping and layouts.

Pricing was very fair, especially given our urgent need and the turnaround time to get this fully resolved! If this the care they use to address and prevent future issues even for a simple issue, I am happy to recommend their services to anyone looking for and honest and thoughtful plumbing

I had a clogged kitchen sink the morning of an important Zoom call, and it threw my whole day off. Chris came quickly, got the line cleared, and explained what caused it so I could avoid the same issue again. The service was efficient, and I was back to normal in less than an hour. That kind of reliability matters when you’re juggling work and home.

gave Rob Fanti a $5,400 job and he caused $6,350 worth of structural damage, which he still refuses to take any responsibility for.

Fanti lacks the proper equipment to really get a job done and relies upon rentals. If I hadn't already had another plumber quote my drain replacement, Fanti would've been unable to locate precisely where the collapse was. In fact, despite having had another plumber visit and show me with his drain snake camera precisely where the drain was collapsed, Fanti's first approach during his own visit when I told him I had a collapsed drain was to say the other plumber was lying to me or inexperienced because "collapsed drains don't usually happen".

Fanti had to rely upon the previous plumber's efforts, because he didn't have the tools to locate the collapse. So when demo began in our kitchen, there was always a risk that the collapse was somewhere else because Fanti cuts corners in his work.

Even at the very end, when the company he contracted to do the pipe burst was ready to go, he tried to convince me to run the epoxy drain liner. He threatened that "the pipe burst machine could get stuck underground and then wherever it gets stuck we'll need to demo, whether it's your kitchen cabinets, kitchen floor, sink, anything that's there we'll need to demo to get the machine unstuck". He tried using fear to convince me to go the epoxy drain liner route. Highly unethical.

The job was supposed to take 1 day but ended up taking 3 days. On the third day, Fanti was very clearly over the job and they rushed connecting our laundry drain to the new pipe. Fanti decided, without any consultation from me, to cut through 6 2x4 wooden support beams in a load bearing wall over our foundation. In this wall, two major beams supporting our home's structure actually intersect. If there is any wall you would want to avoid weakening the integrity of, in the entire home, this is literally THE wall.

I was horrified and repeatedly asked Fanti if it would be ok structurally. He lied to my face and said "you won't have any problems with that wall". Fanti refused to do anything to repair the wall.

I decided to get a second opinion from my gen contractor a few days later. He saw the wall and was equally shocked. I told Fanti, and again asked if he would repair the wall. He refused, and accused my contractor of being dishonest.

A few weeks later and the major support beam snapped, causing the wall to sag 1/4". At this point I decided it was pointless to go back to Fanti; he's dishonest & despite numerous requests for him to pick up and dispose of the 700+ pounds of concrete he left in my driveway (which was in the SOW), he refused to do so.

I then decided to get a third opinion because this seemed like it was going to lead to serious repercussions for Fanti and his business, and may require litigation to recoup our costs. So I had a structural engineer visit. Due to the extent of the structural damage and the fact that a beam had already snapped, they categorized my repair as an emergency and had it completed within 5 days. They had to use a 2 ton jack to raise the structural beam back to its original position.

I also had to separately hire workers to help dispose of the 700lbs of concrete at a landfill.

After all of this, I was thankful that Yelp honored their guarantee and reimbursed us $2,500 of the $6,350 repair cost. However, we are still out $3,800 and are pursuing other remedies to recoup our costs because Fanti still to this day refuses to take any responsibility for the damage he personally caused to our home.

Unfortunately, we have also recently learned that Fanti did not reapply a vapor barrier (thick plastic) before pouring the concrete, which leads to a buildup of moisture below the slab and compromises the integrity of the slab. Concrete is also porous, so after heavy rain moisture gets into the room and increases the overall humidity.

In summary, I would not even hire Rob Fanti to unclog a drain. The number of corners he cuts in his work is truly astonishing.

Edwin did an excellent job fixing my bathroom, and his professionalism and speed were impressive. He also offered a great price!

Roots had been creeping into my sewer line and leaving tiny cracks behind. Instead of a full replacement, they offered pipe coating as a long-term fix. The coating sealed everything up smoothly, and I can tell they really cared about doing the job right. It feels like insurance for my sewer system.

Rob replaced our old water heater that was taking forever to heat and running out mid shower. He brought the new unit, handled the permit paperwork, and set the expansion tank without upselling anything I did not need. The pilot lit on the first try and he checked the pressure and temperature settings so it would not scald. He hauled away the old tank and texted the warranty info before he left.

I had been dealing with constant leaks and low pressure, so I decided to go with a full repiping service. The team replaced all of my old galvanized pipes with PEX, and the difference in water flow is amazing. They worked quickly, patched the walls neatly, and left my home cleaner than expected after such a big job. I couldn’t be happier knowing my plumbing system is brand new and reliable

I had cracks in my old sewer line that were starting to cause backups. The team recommended sewer lining instead of digging up the whole yard, and I’m glad I trusted them. The process was quicker than I expected, and it saved me a huge headache. Everything flows perfectly now, and I didn’t have to destroy my landscaping.

We had a burst water main under our driveway that required immediate attention. The company sent out a full crew with excavation equipment and got to work the same day. They carefully located the break, replaced the damaged section, and even re-poured part of the concrete after finishing. Despite being an emergency and a high-ticket repair, they kept the pricing transparent and explained why each step was necessary. Their professionalism gave us confidence throughout the stressful situation. Thanks to their quick response, our home’s water supply was restored in less than 24 hours.

I recently had Fanti Sewer and Drain come out to my house after I discovered roots on the side of my home affecting the sewer line. I found them online, and I’m glad I did! They were local, showed up on time, and right away I could tell they had a ton of experience.

The team was friendly, very professional, and took the time to locate the exact problem. They recommended using a hydro jetter to clear the line, which worked great. The whole process was fast, efficient, and affordable compared to other companies I’ve used in the past.

Overall, I’m extremely happy with their service — great communication, dependable, and truly know what they’re doing. I highly recommend Fanti Sewer and Drain to anyone needing sewer or drain work done!

I woke to a metallic puddle under a twelve-year-old tank that had clearly given its notice. They shut the water, hauled the dinosaur out, and slid in a high-efficiency unit with an expansion tank and fresh gas flex—clean bends, tidy straps. While it heated, he dialed the temp to a sane 120 and bled air from the lines so the faucets didn’t sputter like an old radio. First shower felt steady and hot without that scorched-earth blast. The closet smells like new metal instead of rust.

I had this annoying drip in my shower that was driving me crazy at night and wasting a ton of water. I finally got someone out here to take a look and it turned out to be a quick fix with the cartridge. They were in and out in less than an hour and the price was totally reasonable. I'm just happy I can finally sleep without hearing that constant tapping noise.

In Cerritos, we dealt with recurring drain backups that another company couldn’t fix. This team came out with hydro jetting equipment and thoroughly cleared the main line, removing years of buildup. They also inspected the line with a camera and recommended preventative maintenance to avoid future issues. The job required skill and advanced tools, but they handled it with confidence. The technicians were respectful, explained everything in detail, and gave us a warranty on the work. We finally feel like the plumbing system in our home is reliable again.

Major sewer line issue that required a complete trenchless replacement. The plumbers explained every step and showed us camera footage of the problem so we understood what was going on. They worked efficiently, using modern equipment to replace the line without tearing up our entire yard. The project was completed in just two days, and they left the area cleaner than they found it. The price was a big investment, but the quality of work and peace of mind was worth it. I can confidently say this was the best plumbing experience we’ve ever had.
