HELP..Plumber needed..Thousand Oaks area..

I know what you mean about finding a plumber. I usually save up a list of things I want done at the same time and it seems cheaper. I'd suggest for sure you have a stub out run with a real shut off valve installed. Not the type they normally use under sinks. Also have all fittings that are exposed made with pipe thread fittings so if you want/need to change something later you don't have to mess with soldered connections and plumber again.

If you post some pictures I could probably at least advise you with recommendations. (as to what is possible and what is not, ideas, etc.)

If you havn't already done so, you'll need to knock out a portion of drywall around the pipes where you want to tie in. (I assume you have copper plumbing). and show pictures of where you wish to drain to.

Do not cut corners by draining to the storm gutters. Regardless of legality issue, you WILL be dumping unknown quantities of who-knows-what in the future. Get it done right the first time or you'll end up paying much more in the future to hire a plumber again.

When hiring a professional plumber, you're paying not only for his "knowledge and experience", but also for:
1) service of driving to your house and working in an unknown environment
2) providing all necessary parts needed (this means significant inventory of all types/shapes/sizes/etc)
2) unloading all necessary tools, parts, and equipment
3) performing an UNPREDICTABLE job where something ALWAYS goes wrong, unplanned, or longer than anticipated.
4) dealing with the general public (enough said)
5) clean up and reloading all tools, equipment, etc. into the truck
6) driving home with an ungodly backache and possibly having to unload it all again into storage/garage/etc.

I used to perform plumbing jobs for fellow reefers, 'till I just could no longer justify the enormous amount of TIME it took away from own life. I have to charge at least $300 a day to make it even remotely worth while, not including travel charges if long distance.
and I'm not even a "professional plumber"

Good luck, Reefmeister out

I dont know what the deal is with him....I gave him your number give him another call urself.

(818)270-7926-Jorge

Tell him straight up if he can do the job or not....
 
hmmm, not sure I want to deal with a plumber who cant even return my phone call, I'll give him until this weekend...and then I will look elsewhere...
 
Ur not the only guy in LA who needs plumbing, his schedule is like mad crazy. I never get to see him anymore and he lives just across the street and when I do hes looks dead tired. Well I hope he gets to you soon, if he doesnt then his jobs are just to stacked....

I understand people are busy but i spoke with him on the phone once and then he said he'd call back and never did... anyways, no big deal, if he is busy, just say it and I can get someone else...
 
So I was finally able to find a plumber to do the job for $300... and he will also hook up my RODI and also clean out some slip ball valves... so all in all a good deal.
