Drain Cleaning
Drain cleaning is a technique that takes many years of experience to master properly. Cable that is run too fast in the clogged drain will not clean the stoppage properly. Slowly run cable with light pressure ensures that the drain will be cleared sufficiently. A cable that is not long enough to reach the end of drain may also not reach the stoppage as well or just push it farther down the line without clearing completely. We always test a drain after clearing by running lots of water. This will determine if the drain is indeed clean and clear, but it is also to flush debris that has been worked loose with the cable into the main and out to the city sewer. All normal drain cleaning that has been cleared with cable and tested with running water has a warranty.
A leaky faucet can cause a high water bill in a time when water conservation is important. There are many different models and brands of sink faucets on the market today. Sink faucets are a major part of any home and pass thousands of gallons of water per year. A sink faucet can also increase the value and look of your home. From replacing and old faucet with a modern design, to discovering the source of a leak, we can repair, install and replace your kitchen or bathroom sink faucets. Our experienced plumber in Ventura can advise you on what sink faucet is best suited to meet your needs and style.
We use a gas leak detector to locate up to sixteen different gases. We can locate gas leaks underground, above ground, inside walls, and in attics. We can check every connection of exposed pipe including fixtures. The equipment can also detect gases like dangerous odorless gases like carbon monoxide or sewer gases that may be seeping into the house from broken drain venting in the walls. Many older gas supplies were installed with black steel or galvanized piping. Old corroded gas piping can cause a waste of money on gas bills or worse yet, a fire hazard.
Nearly every home in Ventura has a water heater. When is the last time you inspected it for leaks? It is probably the last thing you would think of. You don't realize how many times each you use hot water - bathing, dishes, laundry, washing hands, cooking, etc. Although many homes have high quality water heaters installed, the constant workload causes them to wear down, and a high quality water heater will typically last up to 10 years, but some can fail much earlier than that. If your water heater is more than 5 years old you should pay attention to its performance because it may experience difficulties.

I don't recommend him for his lack of character. I used him once to clear my house drains. Attempting to be loyal, I called and set up an appt. several months later for the same. We agreed on a day/time but on the day he was supposed to show he called and asked to reschedule. No worries, not an emergency. Set to the next day- no-show/call till end of the day. Reset to the next Monday. He called to say he arrived and when I asked him to start w/o me and that I'd arrive 10 min. later. He then got weird saying he needed a "contract" (for a cleanout?). I said huh? He then said "I'm not your guy". Well Rex, you're not my guy either and just because you're getting a lot of fire reconstruction work shouldn't mean it's ok to jerk around a bread and butter customers like me.

Rex is the best. We recently had a serious gas leak at our house. I called Rex after hours and he promptly returned my call. He arrived first thing the next morning. Rex was there the next 3 days. He was professional, knowledgeable and his fees were very reasonable. Rex would not stop until he knew the problem was solved and my family was safe. He responded to text messages and phone calls which most people don't do. Rex is our plumber for anything in the future. I highly recommend Rex for any plumbing issues. You won't find anyone better or trustworthy out there. Thanks again Rex!

Rex has been our plumber for quite a few years, through rental properties, as well as before, during and after remodeling. Rex was clean and non-smoking, he kept his work area, which was my home, neat and clean (he has these wonderful rugs he puts down on counter tops and floors). Rex is always in a good mood and, even in the worst plumbing messes he was professional and reassuring. His work borders on artistic at times and he has calmly and politely corrected plumbing errors made by previous owners and contractors - nothing phases him, he's not negative and he never bad-mouths another contractor. Start with Rex - he's not the cheapest or the most expensive, but he will only do the work required and he is the best plumber in Ventura - you'll be happy with his work - it's perfect!

Rex was great! He's been in the business for 20 years, owning another business, Bonnie & Clyde (I think), but decided he needed a new name.
Came to my house right away because my faucet was broken. Went out for a new one, and when it was not longer available, came back with 4 options he had bought! Was willing to open all of the boxes so I could see them and put it right in.
For all you drain problems, call Rex Plumbing! We have over 30 years experience in diagnosing and clearing drains properly. You should always get a second opinion by Rex Plumbing before digging up your house slab or yard to repair a drain. Many companies out there want to do just that, on every.
My company installed this outside shower recently. A surfing family lives there and wanted to wear wetsuits home. This is my third one of this same model. It is also designed with a spout to use for filling buckets or watering cans. The hand held can be used for dog bathing too.
Another awesome modern bathroom designed and installed by Rex Plumbing. This one is mine and my most favorite to date! Call Rex Plumbing for all your plumbing problems 805-643-1691
Here is a tankless my company professionally installed many years ago that I will be servicing today. Notice the clean installation that replaced an old water heater with wooden shed in the same location. Call Rex Plumbing & Rooter 805-643-1691
