Hawthorne, CA · Licensed & family-run
We're a licensed, family-run plumbing shop that lives in drains, sewers and main lines. Camera diagnostics, hydro jetting and honest fixes, done right the first time and backed by photos of the work.
What we do
Most calls we get are drains that won't clear or sewer lines acting up. That's exactly what the vans are built for, so you get a specialist, not a generalist guessing.
Slow drains, blockages and backed-up sewer lines cleared fast. We're drain and sewer specialists, it's the core of what we do.
In-line video camera run through the line to find exactly what's wrong, roots, breaks or bellies, before anyone starts digging.
High-pressure water scours the inside of the pipe clean, clearing grease, scale and root intrusion that a snake just pushes through.
Old galvanized or failing pipes replaced with a clean, code-correct system, so you stop chasing one leak after another.
Cracked, collapsed or root-choked main lines diagnosed and repaired, the jobs a lot of shops won't take on.
A scheduled clean every 6 to 12 months keeps roots and buildup from turning into an emergency at the worst possible time.

About the shop
Gilbert Plumbing is a licensed, family-run shop based on West 115th Street in Hawthorne. When you call, you reach the people who actually show up, in the marked vans you see around the South Bay, wrench-and-runner logo and all.
We stuck to what we're best at: drain and sewer work. Backed-up main lines, root intrusion, slab-leak diagnosis and repipes are our bread and butter, the jobs a lot of shops would rather hand off. In-line cameras and hydro jetting ride on every van, so the guessing stays to a minimum.
The way our customers describe us hasn't changed in years: prompt, fair, and professional, with a photo record of the work when we're done.
In their words
A few of the reviews left for us on Google.
Gilbert Plumbing has been very attentive to our maintenance requests. They are prompt with contacting our tenants and provide flexible scheduling. We receive professional invoices and they always provide us with photos of any work done. As a licensed plumbing company, their prices are very reasonable. They are fast, efficient, and professional.
Jorge came out today with another technician. My mainline sewer was backing up into my shower. With his experience and camera, he diagnosed roots in the line and they were very diligent in getting it clear. He was fair in price and educated me on what was going on with the pipe and recommended preventive maintenance every 6 to 12 months. Thank you Jorge!
Gilbert Plumbing was awesome. Came to my home within minutes of my call, diagnosed the problem, told me how long they would need, and fixed it exactly as they said they would. On time, professional, courteous, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. Awesome crew and company.
