JND Plumbing and Drains

Darren was great. I was referred to him and my friend said he was honest with fair prices — with excellent work. My referral was absolutely correct. Darren removed my old water heater and installed a new tankless system for my house and also completed a full bathroom remodel for me. I was able to install the tankless system, new tub & shower, new custom double sink and new toilet for much lower than my other quotes while not sacrificing the quality of work. I will have Darrwn back for my other big projects as well as the usual drain clearing from time to time. A good plumber is a lifesaver and I’m glad I finally have one I can rely on!
On a separate issue I had a pipe nearly burst under my kitchen (underneath the house). Darren came over right away and fixed it quickly. I’ve referred him to my Mom and I’ll continue to refer him. He saves me money and keeps my plumbing in great shape.

If you’re looking for a great plumber in the South Bay, look no further. Darren from JND is everything you want in a plumber and more. As the owner of a very old house with plumbing to match, I’ve had the need for his services many times over the years, and he’s always done a fantastic job that’s far exceeded my expectations.
When you call JND Plumbing you can expect Darren to show up on time, troubleshoot the problem quickly, explain what your options are to rectify the situation, quote a fair price that will be much lower than you’d pay anyone else to do it, and finally complete the job in a timely and professional manner. You can also rest assured that regardless of your problem, he’s more than capable of solving it.
While I’ve had Darren replace a small run of drain line and snake my drain and sewer lines several times over the years, it was a forced remodel brought about by a completely blocked main sewer line and subsequent flooding of my first floor that really showcased Darren’s full range of talents.
First and foremost, before my insurance company would even cut the first check I had to show that I had started on the repairs, since most homeowners insurance policies only cover the damage and not the cause. Well let me tell you, my insurance adjuster was extremely impressed that when they arrived a couple of days after I filed the claim, Darren had not only already located the problem, but he had also excavated and replaced 14 feet of my main sewer lateral line. The job that was standing between me and my insurance claim payout wasn’t just started, it was completed.
Now that my main issue was resolved, I still was facing the nightmare of having my entire first floor gutted, including my kitchen and one of my bathrooms, so I decided to make the best of things and do as much remodeling as I could afford, and that’s where Darren saved me a boatload of money. Here’s just a partial list of what Darren did for me…
– Replaced and rerouted my entire house’s sewer system.
– Installed numerous clean-​outs in both my front and back yards for easy access in the unlikely event of future problems.
– Patched stucco after rerouting an upstairs toilet line.
– Demo’d my downstairs bathroom shower and tub.
– Replaced all of the drywall damaged in the bathroom demolition.
– Installed a new tub and all associated fixtures.
– Jack hammered a path through my concrete slab to reroute several drain lines.
– Poured new concrete to replace what had to be removed once he put the new drain lines in.
– Replaced and upgraded my entire house’s gas line system.
– Extended my gas line, two pressurized water lines and a drain line out to my detached garage which allowed me to move my washer and dryer from the kitchen to the garage.
– Installed a new laundry sink and faucet in my garage.
– Installed a new pressurized water line under my kitchen to accommodate the new refrigerator’s ice maker.
– Inspected all of my exposed pressurized water lines and replaced any that showed signs of possible failure in the not too distant future.
– Replaced all of my angle stops so that I could rest assured that if I needed to shut the water off to a particular fixture I could without worrying if it was going to burst open at any moment.
– Used his extensive background in new construction and remodeling to act as my consultant when I had questions or concerns about what I was being told by the general contractor, or one of their subcontractors, that was responsible for the repairs covered by my insurance claim.
…and the list goes on and on. It’s also worth noting that he did these various jobs over the course of several months and many times came at a moments notice when my general contractor found yet another plumbing or gas related problem that needed to be addressed before they could continue putting my house back together. My family and I spent the first five months of 2015 living in a hotel due to the extensive damage caused by my main sewer line backing up into my house, and had it not been for Darren’s advice and guidance, as well as the outstanding work he performed, we’d probably still be living in a hotel today.
Anyway, to say I’ve been pleased with the work done by JND Plumbing is a huge understatement. I recommend them to all my friends and family and I can assure you that if you have any plumbing or gas related problems, Darren and his crew can and will resolve them to your satisfaction. So give JND a call, and this will be the last time you ever have to go looking for a great plumber.

Darren has been assisting me with my two properties in Manhattan Beach for over 10 years. There is nobody more honest and diligent in the business. Weekend work, no problem. Small jobs, no problem. Ridiculously complex requiring outside of the box thinking still no problem. We had an ongoing main line issue when we moved into our house many years ago and Darren was the only plumber who actually solved the problem. He does not band aid fix anything, and every job he has done for me whether its main line, copper re-​pipe, fixture etc… has stood up. I recommend Darren to anybody who has a need for a someone they can trust to get the job done the first time.

I do not recommend this company. He came and did some very basic plumbing work at my house awhile back and it all failed within a couple of days. Had him back out to fix it and again it didn’t work. I hired another plumber and he said the guy had not used new parts as was indicated when I received the JND quote, but rather jerry-​rigged my old part for one of the areas (toilet that wouldn’t stop running) and used parts that didn’t fit properly on the other area (leak under kitchen sink). Like I said, very basic stuff. Was a breeze for the other plumber I hired and it has all held as promised.

JND Plumbing have demonstrated excellent quality service for my local business and home for several years. I highly recommend JND.

We Hired Darren from JND Plumbing to work on our two houses. He did the Bathrooms and Kitchen and also the sewer line from one house to the other. Darren replaced all Pipes with Copper, all new fixtures… at a very fair rate with quality workmanship. Darren did a Fantastic job… John De

OK, here it is. I have 3 daughters living at home (23−21−19) and they all use the same unstairs bathroom and haven’t figured out that hair down the drain isn’t good. Well it’s 3 days before Christmas and family is coming from out of town and the upstairs sink is clogged and it’s Saturday 12÷22÷12. All the plumbers are gone until January what to do. I was given a business card of JND Plumbing & Drains from a friend so I figured what the heck and called. Unbelievable the owner Darren said no problem and he came out immediately and in no time had my drains running SUPER FAST. When he presented his bill I was twice amazed, he was more than fair. He is just a genuine guy who cares about people and giving good service. Thank you Darren and thank you to my friend who gave me your number. You are now on my cell phones speed dial.

Darren at JND was referred to us by our regular plumber when we had a serious sewer line blockage. Living on a hillside, the blockage was some 50 – 60 feet down our back slope. Darren and his crew responded immediately, determined that we had a broken sewer line, and began digging a hole big enough to bury a truck.
The main line was completely filled with tree roots, which they removed completely and replaced a major section of our main line with new pipe. Darren even thought enough to install an additional clean-​out valve near the spot of the original blockage, just in case for future use.
Their work was thorough, professional, and quite reasonable. Darren was kind enough to keep us updated throughout the process as to what they were doing and their progress. Needless to say, we are very pleased with Darren and his crew, and
would gladly refer them to our friends or anyone else looking for a good, honest plumber /​drain specialist.
