My name is Mike Reynolds. I’m the owner of Plumbing Detectives LLC, a licensed master plumber, license CFC1434139 and I live right here in Venice Gardens.
Before Venice, I was a Local 1 union-trained plumber working across all five boroughs of New York City.
I named this company for the one thing that separates good plumbing from expensive guessing: the diagnosis.
Diagnosis First. Explanation Second. Action Third.
Local Plumbing Conditions
Many Venice-area homes were built between the 1950s and 1970s with cast-iron drain lines and aging supply pipes.
Camera inspections can reveal buildup, standing water, corrosion and sagged sections hidden below the floor.
These problems are visible, measurable and solvable once someone actually looks.
Core Specialties
Evidence-led diagnosis, written pricing and documented work.
See the actual condition of the pipe, locate each problem and watch the inspection screen with the plumber.
Spot repair where damage is isolated and full replacement only where the camera proves it is needed.
PEX-A systems, quality valves, permits, inspection and documented pressure testing before walls close.
Also From Plumbing Detectives LLC
Water heaters, drain cleaning, leak detection and fixture installation.
