About Richards Rooter & Plumbing
Serving Los Angeles homeowners with honesty, expertise, and urgency since 1994.
Meet Richard Yazmajian
Richard Yazmajian founded Richards Rooter & Plumbing in 1994 after studying Plumbing Technology at Los Angeles Trade Technical College. What started as a one-man operation in Northridge has grown into one of the most trusted residential plumbing services across the greater Los Angeles area — built entirely on referrals and repeat customers.
With over 30 years of hands-on experience, Richard personally handles every job. No subcontractors. No surprises. When you call Richards Rooter & Plumbing, Richard answers, Richard shows up, and Richard does the work.
He was one of the earliest adopters of tankless water heater technology in Los Angeles — installing and servicing tankless systems since the early 1990s, long before they became mainstream. That same forward-thinking approach applies to everything he does: accurate diagnosis, clean workmanship, and honest pricing every time.

“To provide every Los Angeles homeowner with fast, honest, and expert plumbing service — available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. No shortcuts. No unnecessary upsells. Just reliable work from a licensed professional who takes pride in every job.”
