Bakersfield Plumbing Co

Liberty Plumbing to the rescue!!
Thank you Alex

Alex came out after hours on a Friday evening and diagnosed our plumbing problem.   Alex promised to return first thing on Saturday to fix the situation.
Alex showed up as promised, took care of the problem and charged a very reasonable fee.

I had wanted to install risers on our septic tanks and Alex quoted a very fair price for that work to be done.  
Liberty Plumbing's crew did a great job - they arrived on time, did the job and cleaned up beautifully when they finished their work.  

I had written my check for too much and Alex handed it back to me immediately for correction.
Great integrity!  

I highly recommend Liberty Plumbing.

I did not have a good experience with Bakersfield plumbing. First, we asked our rental agency to send someone to fix a leak under the kitchen sink. They came out and said they needed to order a part. It took a month before they came back. Meanwhile the wood under the sink got all damp and damaged.
Second, we asked them to come repair a toilet that was running. They came once to fix it, but we had them come back because it was doing the same thing. The second time they put on a new handle and tank. Unfortunately it still kept running AND the handle wasn't screwed on properly AND he left the chain too long so the only way we could flush it was to hold the handle down or take the lid of the tank off. The last two problems led to the brand new handle breaking. They came out a 3rd time and replaced the handle and shortened the chain. Finally, it stopped running! Then, we get a bill from our rental agency saying that the plumber determined that the handle was broken by force and saying we had to pay the  $100 bill. Ridiculous!

I will never do business with them again.

I have had two experiences with Bakersfield Plumbing both of which were positive. Recently, I had a pinhole leak in my copper water line and of course it happened on a Saturday late afternoon. I called them and they send a man out with an hour, repair the pinhole leak and only charge me $140. The other time they Replaced a toilet that was leaking. They came out made the repair and did not overcharge me. I would highly recommend Bakersfield Plumbing due to their fast response and fair pricing.
Update May 2019; I decided to replace all of my water lines. Although costly to do    my old water pipes were starting to get leaks and didn't want to have a major flood. Bakersfield Pluming did the work. As usual they did a great job.

Called them out on a Saturday and  thought this was a great company since they were working normal hours on  Saturday. The technician had trouble clearing the drain and said that he would be back on Monday with a  camera to examine the line. Monday came and no contact so I called they refused to come out and use a  camera. I guess they only want  easy  jobs not jobs that actually take skill and expertise  in the  work. Also not LGBT friendly do not recommend avoid at all cost.

I recently called this company to help my mother with stopped up plumbing. I was told 2 prices on the phone for the specific job to be done.  Expecting to pay the higher price for what the job entailed, they charged my mother 50% more than the higher amount. I questioned the charge and was told don't worry, I'm not trying to get you. I told him I was questioning the charge being different than what I was quoted on the phone and because mom is on a fixed budget and I need to keep an eye on things for her. I called their office the next day, on a Friday, and was told I would get a call back Monday. Not hearing anything back I called them. They had not looked into it yet. I asked for the boss to call me back, that didn't happen, the lady in the office called me back. When I got a call back I was told that they were charging her for the hour it took (which included 10 minutes for writing up the invoice), and half an hour for drive time. I was not told about this drive time before hand. The service man said he started the drive time 15 minutes before he got there, yet he charge a half an hour of time. I was told he didn't charge for gas, tools, the time it took him to get to his next stop... really ?... I would warn anyone to be sure you get a written estimate before you agree to anything and before you hire this company, If they will take advantage of an elderly lady on a fixed income, what else might they do.

Another positive review for Bakersfield Plumbing.  I tried to remove and replace a 15 year old Delta shower faucet cartridge, but the cartridge was stuck from calcium and broke apart when I tried to pull it out.  Knew I should have waited until Monday so I wouldn't have to pay after hours charges if got so bad I couldn't fix it.  Because it's the shower faucet, I had to turn off the water to the entire house, and it was broken to the point I couldn't turn the water back on.  I called Bakersfield Plumbing based on our last positive experience with them.  They arrived within the hour and had it back up and running also within an hour.  Justin did a great job.  Even though I paid more than I wanted to for the service call, it was on a Sunday and the rates were reasonable enough for after hours calls.  Will continue to use them for things I can't do myself.

I would definitely recommend Bakersfield Plumbing! My water heater started leaking on a Saturday and they were able to come out that day! Thankfully because it couldn't have waited until Monday! He did what he could on Saturday but needed a part. So he came back on Monday to finish the job. I think the price was reasonable considering he came on a weekend and had to come back. I didn't feel like he was trying to rip me off in anyway. They seem to be an ethically run business, which I appreciate.

OMG!! I've been having pipe problems for awhile. I found Bakersfield Plumbing and based on reviews, decided to give them a try. So thankful I did! Janie in the office kept in constant communication with me. Ed came out (early even!) and was able to diagnose the problem quickly. Within the hour, they had a camera out there and located the problem. Then they brought out a jetter and was able to flush out the debris blocking my pipe. They saved me $2000 and a broken up driveway by being creative! What a great experience. They've got a customer for life!

We recently used the services of Bakersfield Plumbing Co when we had a leak at our house. The company was quick to respond to our after hours service request. Mr Jose who came to fix the issue was knowledgeable and went out of the way to make sure the work to fix the leak was done the right way.  Will definitely be using their services for future plumbing needs as they are reliable, honest and do work at a reasonable rate.

I have used many plumbers in town not really liking one enough to use them again. You don't need to look any further. Bakersfield Plumbing does a great job. They always show up clean and are polite and informative. After fixing the problem they always give me easy plumbing tips, and their prices are very fair. Try them if you need a plumber

Want a job done wrong? Well you've found the right company! They were coming over to our apartment complex to change the pipes. I had to constantly call them to inform them of things like water not coming out of the spigot in my backyard, they came out and dug a huge hole and never closed it, I called a few times and still nothing. Then  they were working under my sink and obviously they had to remove the items I had under their and put my toilet bowl cleaner on a bunch of my towels, which had bleach in it so it bleached a bunch of my towels, THEN they cut a pipe to replace the water heater but cut it so it was still attached to the wall, only now it was blocking entry into my apartment so each time I wanted to go inside I had to lift the pipe to go in my apartment, AND THEY JUST LEFT IT LIKE THAT, they had to go in too so to just leave it like that is just a big eff you in my opinion. I guess I found out recently when they dug up that hole in my yard they damaged all the sprinkler lines, this company is a joke

My house is around 60 years old and had some water/draining issues. We decided to finally repipe (water and waste) the whole house and decided to go with Bakersfield plumbing. The whole process was great! The guys were very polite, very professional, and kept me updated on the progress. It took a little longer than they estimated, but that was due to one of the guys getting sick and seeing a doctor.

Would definitely recommend these guys if anyone is needing to repipe! It feels like I have a new house!

This is the first time using this company and I am so happy. They are just like everyone said they would be. Reasonable, polite, professional, and no surprises when they hand you the bill. Justin and Gunner are who came out today, and I was even surprised by that because usually when you call a plumber its just one guy. I live in a 1930's home and that didn't phase them because they are trained for such things. I guess I know who I will always be calling from now on. They know what they are doing and charge just right, and 110 years in business comes shining through with honesty and gold.

So impressed with the re-pipe that Randy and Victor did. They were friendly and professional and very clean.
UPDATE Make sure to get the sub contractor proposal in writing! What was quoted by Bakersfield Plumbing for the drywall/paint ended up being $800 higher than what was on the original proposal.

We had a major leak, our water source ,under our cement driveway. James came out and with a talented guess and a cement saw was able to locate the leak. Excellent !   He came back the next day to check that the repair was not leaking and covered it with  concrete. All in all, great job.

My sprinkler pipe broke and a very nice young man by the name of Gunner came out and fixed it for me. He was courteous and did an excellent job. He was neat and left everything cleaned up when he left. I commend this nice young man.

Very responsive and Ed was quick to address the issue. Fair price and focused, friendly service.   Will be my go-to plumber!

If you want a plumbing job done right and in a timely fashion, call Bakersfield Plumbing Company, Inc.  Don't settle for imposters that look similar but don't provide the same quality customer care. There is only one Bakersfield Plumbing! I have used Bakersfield Plumbing for over 20 years now and they have always taken great care of me as a customer! I just had an emergency today and they were out here in just over an hour, fix the problem the first time, and kudos to Joe who is always fantastic! You all will always be my plumbing company!

Never use this company. Rude employees and crazy hourly rates. Oh and they charge for travel time so hopefully they don't get stuck in traffic on the way to you. You will have to pay for that. Their technician Jason is extremely rude and the receptionist is clueless.

We had a problem with our gas hot water heater. It had last been replaced in 2006. A call to Bakersfield Plumbing in the morning resulted in a house call within a three hours and by mid-afternoon the hot water heater was replaced, and the new one works great. Very good service by a very likable serviceman. Would highly recommend.

We just moved into a new house that we bought and of course half of the plumbing was plugged up.  So the search was on to find the company do you work.  As I searched I came across Bakersfield plumbing which had a large number of reviews and good ones.  They have been in business for a long time so therefore must be doing something right.
I gave them a call and the technician was able to come out fairly quick and take a look at my problem.  He decided it was best to come back The next day when he could really work on it.  They had it taken care of within the hour and my problem was solved.  
Thanks so much for the quick service and the good service.

If you have plumbing needs you will be wise to use Bakersfield Plumbing.
Our upstairs bathroom sinks were stopped up so we called them. They attempted to clean the drain by running a snake through it only to find that apparently the previous owners of our home had a similar problem and had used incompetent plumbers who broke their snakes off in the pipe and just left the pieces in the pipe to further clog it. Not just one plumber but obviously six as there were six broken snakes in the pipe.
It was necessary for Tyler from Bakersfield Plumbing to use a camera to see where the clog was and then use a sonar device to find where the broken snakes were. Now he needed to not only remove them but find the reason for the original clog. When Tyler used his sonar equipment he discovered the stoppage was under the slab floor of the house. It became necessary to cut through the stucco on the side of the house as well as the patio slab to expose the pipe and then chip away the concrete slab under the house to be able to remove it. Once he was finally able to remove the pipe he discovered the original reason for the clog was tree roots that had filled it because the original builder had not put a cap on a clean out pipe and then buried it in the ground.
To say the least, this was definitely a job for the professionals. Other plumbers I am sure would have never been able do this repair but also to do it with minimal damage to the house. Thank goodness for the professionalism of Bakersfield Plumbing. .

We needed a re pipe in our home, we set an appointment they never showed up. We rescheduled, they came this time and apologized. We let the estimator that we had $$ in bank and were eager to get this job started. He told us he would get back to us with the price in a day or two, again we impressed upon him   we want this as soon as possible.......this was about 2 weeks ago and still have not heard back from them. Called Hometown they came out and wrote the estimate at the same visit they start in 2 days .

Professional, responsive and quick repair.  Very impressed with Jason.  Fair pricing.  Definitely recommend and will use them again.  I was dreading my repair bill as the house is 60 plus years old and the leak was under the concrete slab.  Had RayTec isolate and Jason was there the next day to repair.  Pleasantly surprised at my repair bill.  Very professional and kept me informed throughout the repair process.  Top Notch Company based on my experience. Highly recommend.

These guys are great! They have all the newest high tech tools, skilled workers and very knowledgeable. I had a couple other companies out to my commercial property that was having some issues, neither company could figure out the problem but charged me plenty. A friend recommended Bakersfield Plumbing because of their equipment and knowledge. Tony the owner came out along with his foreman and in no time found the problem. We scheduled it and it was repaired perfectly and quickly. I would recommend Bakersfield Plumbing for any plumbing problems.

Our sewage line was backing up into our house they came out and ran a camera free of charge and found the sewage line in the street was broken.  They gave us an estimate which was quite a bit less than other plumbing businesses in town and also included a 25 year warranty.  They came out within a couple days as promised by the owner Tony.  Him and his crew found that the line had been broken by another companies fiber optics line that was put in on top of the sewage line.  Tony made calls to the company and got them out within an hour or two.  Long story short.  The company put in a report and fingers crossed we will get reimbursed for the repairs.  Also we were not charged anything extra for the time that the plumbing crew had to hold off on the work while they waited for the other company to come out.  Bakersfield plumbing was able to get the line replaced that same day!  I highly recommend using Bakersfield Plumbing.  They are an honest and reliable company!  Thank you again Tony and crew!!

The following replaces my concern regarding an exhorbitant fee.  

On 4/11, much to my surprise, because I had made many attempts to speak to the owner regarding the bill without any response, I received a check apparently acknowledging my complaint in the amount of $98.00. I still have no idea why the owner never contacted me; as when disputes are amicably settled, the parties are generally comfortable to utilize that company's service as previous fees (for the past 10 years) have been quite satisfactory. However, I still maintain this particular plumber/employee really didn't know what he was up against, hence the exorbitant bill. Note:  there is not, nor has been in the past, anything wrong or faulty with their work performed.  Ultimately, the partial refund is appreciated.  The bottom line, therefor, DO consider Bakersfield Plumbing Company for any plumbing needs, without hesitation or concern about the job. You won't be disappointed in the quality of the work.

I called twice and Jerry answered both calls even though he was at another job site. He was very polite he took my information and called me as soon as he was finished. I let him know i needed it done within an hr he didn't promise an hr but he definitely delivered. He completed the job and at a reasonable price. I will definitely be calling him for future work.

I've used Bakersfield Plumbing for years , and they are a GREAT company to do business with. Tony your team was REMARKABLE! Justin & Ed were a delight to have around for the week ! I can't say enough about Bill, Kathy, and Sergio , your business associates are AWESOME! Once again , GREAT service . Thanks AGAIN!!!

This was my best experience with a plumber by far!  First of all, I called about 5 other plumbers before this one that had better reviews on Yelp.  All the other ones couldn't get me in that day, even though they say they're 24/7 service.  When I called, a lady named Sharon said that she might not be able to get me during the regular business hours, but would be willing to see if any of their guys were done with some jobs and take on mine.  It was almost 4, business hours end at 5.  Business hours are $95/hr and after hours is $135.  I asked her if she could see what she can do.  A few minutes later she said she could have someone out in 10 minutes.  When the guy arrived, he was super nice and was quick to solve the problem.  He even finished the job I started, replacing a faucet.  I have some other jobs I would possibly like done and asked him how easily it would be done.  He gave advice on what they'd have to do for the jobs.  I was so happy with their service, I will definitely be working with them again!

Excellent customer service. They replaced my hot water line to my water heater the service tech was very professional. I would recommend their work.

Hard pass from me

I've got a job I need done at a house I recently purchased so I've been calling around to plumbers to get quotes. I called these guys to add them to the short list of companies I want a bid from, they couldn't come out for almost a week and it's a $45 estimate fee just to send someone out to look and give a quote. No other company I've spoken to or had come out already charged a fee just to look and quote a price, hard pass.

If you need real professional plumbing service call Bakersfield Plumbing. They were able to resolve (quickly) an issue I was having with a tankless water heater, after another plumber couldn't resolve it. The tech Mike was in constant contact, professional, and explained everything very clearly. Tankless service by Bakersfield Plumbing is very thorough. This turned out to be a great value for the original estimated charge. I'm a very happy (new) customer and will call them first for any future plumbing needs.
