Mission & Values

What We Stand For

Three principles behind every job, from a dripping faucet to a full repipe.

Honesty, Always

You hear what's wrong and what it costs before a single wrench turns. If something changes, you hear it first.

Craft We're Proud Of

Proper parts, clean joints and work that holds up, because a fix that fails isn't a fix.

Respect for Your Home

Shoes covered, work area protected, and everything cleaned up before we leave.

Licensed & Bonded

Tidal Wave Rooter & Plumbing holds CSLB #1158712, classification C-36 Plumbing Contractor. Every active CSLB license carries a contractor bond.

Mission

We Believe Every Home Deserves Honest, Reliable Plumbing

Gerardo started Tidal Wave Rooter & Plumbing to give Los Angeles homes and businesses a plumber who explains the problem, quotes the fix up front and does it right the first time.

  • Transparency
  • Craftsmanship
  • Your Time
  • Customer Focus
