Description of Work: We had a plumbing emergency, when all our drains were suddenly backed up. We were desperate. Called our regular plumber who was not immediately available. Called Jim who came right out. By the time he arrived, the back-up had miraculously cleared on its own. He checked pipes. Surmised sewer issue. No charge.

Description of Work: They had a difficult time scheduling my service. It took a week from the first contact to get an install date. After they began the installation, they were very nice. They cleaned up everything and answered all of my questions. They seemed very professional and competent on the job. My trouble came with them setting a date to install my new garbage disposal and fix my leaking toilet. I guess it took a long time to get the parts. Good thing I was not in a hurry. Yes, I would use them again because they did a good job once a time was set and they did the work. I just hope it doesn't take a long to get an appointment to do the job.

 + 0 moreI have used Jim Shaw Plumbing several times for plumbing issues at a rental house. He's an old-school plumber who charges reasonable rates and does not try to up-sell. If our tenant calls him for a stopped drain or garbage disposal problem, I know I'll get the straight scoop when I talk to him.

 + -1 moreJim understood the urgent need for the repair because the leak in the main gas line to our home had deteriorated and developed a leak. The Gas Company technician said it was bad enough to require service to be turned off until repairs had been made by a licensed plumber. He arrived within an hour, gave us a reasonable estimate, did the repairs without delay and restored the work area in the lawn to a normal condition. Very neat and efficient. The Gas Co. tech restored service after testing the line for further leaks. Jim is now "our" plumber.
Description of Work: Replaced a section of underground pipe between gas meter at the curb and house.

 + -1 moreFine. Done that day and in a short time. The most important part is that Jim Shaw came over within minutes himself and got his employee to do the job.
Description of Work: He replaced the pipe and corrected work the gardener did wrong but was not part of the leak.

 + -1 moreMr. Shaw was extraordinarily efficient and proved to be an expert with regard to my plumbing needs which required immediate attention thanks to a dispute with Los Angeles Dept. of Water & Power. He corrected the problem perfectly and provided services well beyond what he charged. I would not hesitate to call upon him at any time in the future for any plumbing needs.

plumbing
 + -1 moreThis was not an easy chore to get done. It was a 1950's era house with "different" plumbing concepts than we see in today's construction. Installing the valve correctly required a lot of craftmanship. He was very professional, and extremely responsive and economical. This was a GREAT experience I would highly recommend him to everyone. The cost is approximate because the bill was sent to escrow.
Description of Work: Dug up gas pipe and inspected for sound condition and installed earthquake safety valve needed for sale of house.

drain cleaning, plumbing
 + 0 moreunknown
Description of Work: We had been noticing a garbagy smell in the kitchen area for a little while and we finally decided to get a plumber in to inspect the sink and drain. We were unhappy with out previous plumber who had gotten a bit pricy. | |Jim agreed to drop by the next morning and check things out. He and his helper arrived at the agreed time, and inspected under th house and in the drain area. He noted that while we had replaced most of the old iron drain piping some years back, the kitchen sink outflow line had not been replaced and was no doubt the age of the house (60 years), and that this was a possible source of smells since it was probably near clogged with garbage and other debris (and it was). Jim replaced this with modern plastic (PVC?). This required opening the wall under the sink, removing the old pipe, and connecting the replacement to the existing plumbing. The wall was patched later by a contractor Jim recommended, for an adiditonal $60. Everything was done as promised, by mid-day. Jim also fixed a minor problem he found with out reverse osmosis system.

 + -1 moreWe called our usual plumber (whom we have used for years and with whom we are highly satisfied) but when we could not reach him and were not sure he was around during the holidays I called Jim Shaw's number. When there was no answer i did not leave a message but within about a half hour he called me back. I told him the problem and he said he could get here in about an hour. He showed up right on time, took care of the problem and was very professional and his price was very reasonable. I would recommend him highly.
Description of Work: Had a broken drain line below the kitchen sink.

 + 0 moreMy favorite, old-school plumber moved away and referred me to Jim Shaw Plumbing. Jim showed up on time and called me with good news: the garbage disposal did not need to be replaced, like another plumber had told my tenant. He re-set it and snaked the clogged drains. He saved me hundreds of dollars, and the tenant was happy with the results. He's my new go-to plumber.
Description of Work: Jim fixed the garbage disposal and snaked two drains.

sewer cleaning
 + -1 moreThe entire process went great. Jim and his guys did everything they said they would and every took the time to explain what they were doing and how everything worked to our eight year old son.
Description of Work: Jim Shaw Plumbing replaced the sewer line from our house to the street. It was choked with tree roots and we needed the sewer pipe snaked clean every 6 - 9 month. Jim's guys dug out the front yard and saved the grass strips to lay back on top later. Jim added a second clean out for the sewer line so now we have one in each direction. They were done in two days.
