Why Koko Drains
A Pasadena-area plumbing company built on persistence, integrity and pride in doing thorough work.
The hard-job mindset.
Krikor “Koko” Chiranian learned the drain trade by taking on difficult stoppages and refusing to settle for a temporary answer. Since founding Koko Drains in 2013, he has continued investing in better equipment, better training and a team that shares his standards.
We protect the work area, communicate what we find and give you practical options before moving forward.
From a teenager learning beside his father to Pasadena’s hard-job specialist.
Koko is the son of a plumber and found his calling in drain work as a teenager. After nearly a decade learning the trade and earning customers’ trust, he opened Koko Drains in 2013. The company grew through referrals, a relentless standard for thorough work and investment in equipment capable of solving the jobs others leave behind.
