I had noticed a leak in the garage, and was able to determine it was the Kitchen sink that was leaking out of the sink vent cap. I had tried to fix the clog, but it was beyond my reach. With that I went with a California Plumbing, and was delighted to hear that a technician was available the same morning. Chico came out and was very professional, putting on shoe covers even when stepping into my home.

When he saw the problem, he got right down to business, snaking the drain until it was flowing smoothly again. Top-notch service

We have a slow draining toilet that clogs daily and we have been putting off calling a professional for years out of fear of the cost.

I have bought tools, chemicals, even a bidet to try to avoid our slow flushing drain.

California Plumbing was able to come out very quickly and Shane was extremely professional and resolved our issue in under an hour.

I wish I had called years ago. The rates were affordable and I'm confident the issue was properly resolved.

My Technician Mikey Reyes was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable on all the issues I was having with my old water heater and provided affordable solutions in a time efficient manner.
I had no hot water in my house and the issue was fixed the next day with some upgrades to my piping system in my house.
Things like this can be stressful in the moment and hard on the wallet however California Plumbing made me feel comfortable and gave me honest advice tailored to my situation. I didn't feel rushed, pushed, or persuaded to spend more than I Had to.
10/10 would recommend to any home owner!
My first major home expense was a breeze! :)

Aaron, you are being disingenuous. The first person who did the leak detection was your subcontractor. The technicians told me they couldn't get the best guy to come out, so the first guy was not so good. The 2nd person who did detect the leak was from your same subcontractor. I paid you, California Plumbing; therefore, you are responsible for the work of your sub.

California Plumbing knew there was a leak in the culvert from the previous time (December) when you fixed the neighbor's leak in the same spot. (The large rectangle sinkhole on the east side of the road) At that time, you took precautions with the culvert, putting rocks and concrete paper on it. When you repaired both leaks this time, California Plumbing only put dirt with asphalt on top. 5 neighbors helped us repair it. We were all astounded that California Plumbing that knew about the issues with the culvert, would not use gravel, rock, or any other commonly known materials to plug up a large hole with water near it. The reason was the French GM did not want to spend another second on the repairs.

Thanks for your response. Now I know my next step with California Plumbing.

Literally found our toilet leaking around the base mid day yesterday and of course a big concern because it's waste water potentially spilling out into our bathroom. It's always hard to find good plumbers that actually match their rating, but happy I went with California Plumbing because they actually do! The dispatcher was quick to have someone come out to me today and was very efficient on the phone. My appointment time was between 8-10 and Steve was on the scene by 9am. He assessed the problem quickly and got the job done literally in less than 2 hours. Steve was so awesome and respectful of my home too! He even showed us the icky bits like *sewer roaches* so we weren't left in the dark of potential issues down the road.

Definitely calling them again if I have another toilet issue!!

Now I see why they 5 star reviews! My tenant's garbage disposal stopped working yesterday. Typically when having any kind work done at the unit it's a pain. They'll only communicate w me versus the tenant they're meeting so I'm playing middlewoman coordinating schedules, which leads to a couple of days delay. I like to fix any problem my tenants have as soon as possible so I can't stand when there's delays for non-Sensical logistics.

Not California Plumbing! They were there the very next day in the perfect window of time we needed. They included my tenants right from the get go. Sent us both a message with our technician's picture. They even contacted my tenant for their arrival time and came early!

The price was incredibly reasonable, and then even gave me a discount on the replacement they see coming in the near future.

Fast, friendly, reliable, common sense service. It doesn't get any better than that!

A special thanks to our technician Shane for being awesome.

Our condo was built in 1992, so a lot of our plumbing is old and outdated. A couple days ago we noticed our sink had a serious leak and a valve broke off. We contacted California Plumbing and they were quick to set us up with an appointment the next day. Coming from both me and my boyfriend who are in the military and busy, availability is very important, so it was great to have this appointment the next day.

As for the repairs, our technician was Cody Magdaleno. Cody was great and really awesome to talk to, he quickly helped us out and was very knowledgeable with our repair. Our new sink looks beautiful & there is no leaks at all.
Thank you so much Cody!

Overall 10/10, we will be using Cody for other repairs in the future.

I you ask it they will come!
This is in the way of quotes for the job that needs to be taken care of.
I had a kitchen incident that needed the kitchen faucet replaced.
I had reached out to the plumbers in the area and I received a few bids.

California Plumbing was not the 1st response to my query but I feel that my questions were honestly answered after I had provided the information from is the sink a one hole or three hole facet.

The appointment was made and on the day of the appointment the technician was Joey. He as punctual and finish the task at hand without any difficulty.

I would not hesitate to call on them again in the future.

We had an issue with our water heater that wasn't able to be resolved with the basic troubleshooting steps. Called California Plumbing and they were able to come out the same morning. Our plumber Stan Smith was great; very patient with our questions and explaining the problems. With his help we were able to get the hot water back up within hours. Great experience!

Excellent job by Stan. Showed up early to give us a quote and was able to price match. Office was able to schedule smoothly too.

My bathroom sink was clogged, I called at 4pm and was able to get an appointment the next morning, quick service! The deduction of stars is due to the receptionist trying to charge me a fee for a plumber to come out. On their website it stated free estimates. The receptionist then said she would ask her manager if she could waive the fee when I said never mind I'll go somewhere else, and then came back on the phone to say they could waive the fee .
However, the plumber that came out-Robert was awesome. He deserves 5 stars. Robert took the time to explain how to resolve the issue and best treatment. He didn't try to upsell me or overcharge me. The price was reasonable and the problem is fixed. Robert was great and I'd call again if I had another issue.

We had drainage issue in the back patio of our property. Whenever rained the water created big puddles on the concrete floor, which consequently filtered down pur crawl space.

Chico and his team created a project to evacuate the water from the patio to the street. During the work, an unexpected issue was encountered (a gas line leak), which impacted the initial project which escalated into a more complex one. Chico was able to act quickly and re-plan the project, walking us through everything with detailed information and responding all our questions.

We now have a successful drain, which is evacuating all the water our and far from our house foundation and crawl space.

This company and their team are really professional and knowledgeable. They work efficiently and are approachable. We really recommend them for any plumbing issues you have! We are using them for future projects, FOR SURE!

I found California Plumbing on Yelp, and called them on two separate occasions this month. On both occasions, the company provided exceptional communication, fair pricing estimates with no surprise fees, professional customer service, and excellent plumbing results.

The first plumbing issue was at my home, with an upstairs water leak from a bathtub drain. California Plumbing scheduled a same-day appointment, which was immediately confirmed by both email & text-message. Then, when the plumber was on his way, I received a follow-up text-message that Chico was assigned to the service call. The text included Chico's company photo so I could identify him when he arrived.

Chico not only isolated the two sources of the drain leak, but he was able to repair everything that same afternoon. Chico did an excellent, clean job in repairing the leak. After an hour, Chico informed me he was calling a colleague for assistance and California Plumbing sent another follow-up text that Hector was assigned to assist the service call; again, including Hector's photo so I could identify him when he arrived. This is the best communication I've ever had from any contractor; and there were absolutely no surprises with the billing. The plumbing work includes a 90-day warranty, and I received a detailed invoice with photos via email.

The second plumbing issue was at a rental property, with a Master Bathroom bath/shower faucet that only supplied hot water. Again, California Plumbing scheduled a same-day appointment, which was immediately confirmed by both email & text-message. Again, I received a follow-up text that Chico was assigned to the service call & included his company photo.

Chico isolated the bad cartridge & valve, and also found a slow leak under one of the sink faucets. Again, Chico was professional, provided a fair estimate with no surprise fees, and repaired everything that same day. He worked hard, did a clean job.

For 100% transparency, I didn't receive any payments, benefits or discounts for posting this review. I'm just another satisfied customer who highly recommends this company for its excellent work.

I had this team come out and offer me a new water heater. They were professional and efficient. They got my water heater up to code and offered me water treatment. So now I have filtered water throughout my house as well as a scale, free plumbing system. I can't thank them enough for educating me on what's really going on with my plumbing system and water. Thank you California Plumbing for being so thorough.

Britt J.

9/15/2022

GUYS!! THIS is a GREAT company!! First off, I submitted a request for quote on Yelp and received a response rapidly (minutes), and was scheduled for a person to come out the very next day. I am so thankful that we had Chico assigned to our job! He was thorough, helpful, and had no problem taking time to fully explain and investigate every single aspect of our job. Chico truly has gone above and beyond!! Aside from his initial help, the estimates are reasonable and all costs are detailed in full. They even have a fantastic system set up for scheduling; giving text message updates every step of the way...even sending out the name and photo of the technician prior to their arrival.

I will update my review once the job is completed...but I have utmost confidence in Chico and by proxy, California Plumbing. I am SO glad I found them!

Nothing bad to say about California Plumbing. Quick to answer and send out a plumber. They were young but knowledgeable. Hector and Ernesto offered good suggestions and walked me through the alternatives for my bathtub that was backing up. When asked, they expressed their honest opinion about previous plumbing jobs done at the house. I was quite pushy about wanting to run the camera through the main line. Hector reached out to the Co. and set up an appointment to come back out the next day with the equipment and Ernesto who operates it. I also wanted footage as a reference, and Ernesto went back in there to record and handed me the USB, no ifs or buts. They cut nicely into the drywall which made it easier for me to patch, so thanks for that too. Fair pricing, btw!

I will be recommending this place to all my friends and family.... We had a very nice young man named Steven come out to my grandmother's house and he unclogged her toilets... She was so happy with his work.. my grandma is very picky and super clean.... He took extra care and cleaned up the way he found it... She literally was raving about him and she never does when any workers come into her house... But needless to say he was very respectful and super professional.. who ever hired this guy did a great job he was representing your company to the max.. thank you again and like I said we will be recommending this place to all our friends and family... Thanks a bunch Steven my grandma loves you....

Wow this company is awesome! Devan beat my bids on installing my sink and came out right away to do the job! His work is perfect. He removed all old plumbing under the sink, installed new sink, garbage disposal and installed new valves. He came right on time , did his job thoroughly and cleaned up leaving not a trace of left behind! Devan is very personable too! I highly recommend him for any plumbing job. He is fully confident in his profession and can get the job done with the skill of an expert. Thank you Devan!

Shane is a highly professional and efficient plumber specialist. I would like to thank him for installing a new water heater with a pressure expansion tank, and a main shutoff valve in our garage.

He gave us good recommendations for water heater brands, and how to mitigate any issues in the future.

It was very easy to schedule an appointment, and he always came within the provided timeframe. It was a pleasure to communicate with Shane, he efficiently answered all my plumbing questions.

We had an issue with our plumbing that needed prompt (although not emergency) attention. I called Thursday and they answered the phone (unlike another company that I tried) and set up an appointment for a technician to come the next morning.
Alex Gonzalez showed up right on time and quickly evaluated and fixed both of the problems we were experiencing. He was friendly, polite and professional and took the time to explain the situation and educate us regarding several aspects of our home's plumbing. He did excellent work and we would recommend California Plumbing to anyone in need of plumbing services!

Had to call a plumber because I needed my garbage disposal decided that the morning of my house warming would be perfect to back up, no longer turn on and start a mini waterfall underneath my sink. I called other plumbing companies and the only one that had someone available now was California Plumbing. Benji came out within an hour of my call. He gave me the honest run down and got the job done faster then I could blink. He had replaced my garbage disposal and gave me some advice about how to troubleshoot in the future should I encounter another problem with it. I don't know if its part of the job but he even helped with cleaning up the mess the flood made. If you're in a jam and need it done absolutely now, I would definitely recommend them.

Super responsive, great communication and they did an awesome job replacing our toilet, pulling tree roots from down the drain.

This is the third time I've used California Plumbing over the last five years. And when there's a fourth, I'll use them again.

What I want in a plumbing company is:

1. Prompt service.
2. The ability to fix my problem on the first service call.
3. Don't break anything in the process.

In this latest call, my kitchen sink was completely stopped up. My DIY plunging was to no avail. My bathroom sink wasn't much better.

Robert from California Plumbing arrived within an hour of my call. He thoroughly cleaned the pipes under the bathroom sink (which were causing the stoppage) and went on to clear the kitchen drain by snaking down the rooftop pipe. He then fed a digital camera into the pipe to inspect the condition...just to be sure.

Plus, he tested my water for harmful chemicals and gave me valuable maintenance pointers as well.

And those three conditions I mentioned...he checked all the boxes.

Thanks, Robert.

No hot water on Friday morning, No panic, found California Plumbing on Yelp, on site 45 minutes later and installed new water heater 40 gallons up to code and cleaned everything. Thanks to them. They also checked few things in my house. Plumbing business number 1 in Chula Vista and probably in San Diego. 300% recommended

9/26/2022

It's a new house for me with lots of things to figure out lol. One of those being the main garbage disposal that decided not to work anymore. California Plumbing is the place to call, make sure you request Devan, he's amazing! He quickly diagnosed the problem as well as identifying a couple other things that were beginning to wear out. I had already purchased a new disposal as well as the push button that controls the on/off. Both were in need of replacement which Devan handled quickly and efficiently. I had asked for a quote before the appointment, and that's what I paid.

Can't speak highly enough about Devon's professionalism and expertise! He's my go to from now on!

We had previously had our shower repaired by another plumbing service. After that repair, the shower made a horrible screeching noise every time it was turned on. We called California Plumbing and they sent out Joseph R. to do an estimate. He was on time, professional, friendly, and helpful. We got the estimate and booked the repair for two days later. Again, Joseph R. was on time and helpful. He completed the repair quickly and correctly, leaving no mess behind. No more screaming shower.

I'm really happy with the service this company provides!

Very happy with the service. They got back to me in minutes. They sent someone out within a couple of hours. The someone was Brandon, a personable, clean cut, competent young plumber who does not mind attention of a few pets. We had an atypical job, an antique type high tank toilet. The tank had been leaking and I had pretty much torn down the whole setup trying to fix it. Brandon got it reassembled and working with no leaking with the parts on-site in pretty short order. I would call him or them again.

Today I requested a quote from California Plumbing for a repiping of my older home. Stan was the gentleman dispatched to analyze my situation and ultimately prepare a quote for me. I was extremely impressed with Stan. He is friendly, polite, professional, thorough and knowledgeable. I should add that he is very patient, too, because I had a lot of questions. He listened, offered alternatives and did a super job of explaining how the work would be performed. Stan was eventually joined by Ernesto who is also an excellent representative of California Plumbing. Interacting with Stan and Ernesto has given me a good feeling about California Plumbing.

Had a plumbing emergency, our toilet clogged after a spicy wing challenge with friends. Called a few places and had to wait a couple days, it's not a good idea when all your roommates are men. Looked up on yelp and you guys came up. Talked to a very nice helpful girl over the phone (Crystal) she sent a technician asap and he was very friendly and awesome personality (Benji).

All an all you guys saved us. Clogged toilets are no joke in a house full of guys.

Thank you guys, I would recommend you to every person running into plumbing emergencies.

Crystal and Benji were very professional and great with customer service. Thank you California plumbing!

Absolutely the best experience I've had with any plumbing service and any other plumber EVER. I called California Plumbing to fix a kitchen sink that was leaking buckets from underneath the sink and had covered my whole kitchen floor with water. After the cleanup, I was constantly having to empty out containers catching the water and replacing towels to keep it somewhat under control. I live in an apartment, so I have to go through the (terrible) property management to resolve maintenance issues. They sent a plumber who seemed baffled by the problem and tinkered around for all of 5 minutes before getting up and telling me -in the form of a question- uh... I think it's fixed? Keep an eye on it. And was out the door. He actually ended up finding a way to make the problem worse! I was not about to call him back to work on the issue as he clearly had absolutely no idea how to fix. So I did some research and, based on other very positive reviews, called California Plumbing. They had a plumber at my door within the hour!

His name is Devan Elson, and not only was he a complete professional and a really nice guy; he was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain what the problem was in detail so that I could better understand what was going wrong and why! On top of that, he took the time to exhaust every other possible remedies, tested them in every way possible and made absolutely sure that nothing was overlooked before he left. AND the cost for the work at the end was totally reasonable and fair! I will be calling them for any plumbing needs in the future and I cannot recommend this company enough!!

We contacted California plumbing to install a tankless water heater. The whole process has been smooth and easy. Very reasonable quote and super clean job.

Our rental property in downtown San Diego got clogged in the kitchen. We didn't expect outstanding service from reaching out to multiple vendors through Yelp.
But we were impressed with the company's professionalism and the way they handled our needs. Chico was punctual, communicated well and explained the solutions clearly.

California Plumbing will get future referrals from us.

Thank you for a great performance.

Had a tankless hot water heater installed by another plumber, however, it wasn't heating the water throughout my house properly, so I called California Plumbing to get a second opinion.

The plumber showed up on time, was professional and very nice. Unfortunately, he told me there was nothing he could do to fix my not-so-great situation. The diagnostics charge was $200.

No problem there at all. Things went sideways when I mentioned that there was no hot water in my bathroom sinks. My hall bathroom has a brand new vanity, and the drawers in the vanity needed to be removed by the plumber in order for him to take a look. Now, two of the drawers seemed to be off track. When I tried to fix them, I realized that the hot water hose had come loose and was now leaking inside the vanity. I turned off the water, got my own pliers and secured the nut at the top. So at least that got fixed.

However, the hardware on my drawers also seem kind of messed up still. At least I am not able to get the drawers back on track the way there were before the plumber came by.

So, if I needed another plumber, I would still call these guys, I just would remove any drawers or barriers to the plumbing myself before they get there.

I highly recommend California Plumbing! They are very honest, professional, and priced competitively. All the work they have done for was was completed quickly and cleanly.
Had a toilet clogged. Anthony came out and gave me a accurate and affordable estimate. He came on time and provided a fast and clean service. Definitely my go-to for all my plumbing needs!

Shane was polite, helpful and very efficient. We had an unusual request for the water valve under the kitchen sink. Shane immediately understood our desire and replaced the existing valve with a significantly superior one. He did not have the parts with him as we did not want the usual repair. He immediately drove out to the right store and brought the parts back to repair the valve the way we wanted it. This was all done in less than 2 hours. He cleaned up after himself. This worked out so much better than expected and we will definitely use him again!

California Plumbing has always been my preferred choice. From the moment of contacting them and through the process of installation they have always been professional, honest, efficient and very clean.
Chico M. came out and provided great service as well as caught some potential items that could lead to future damage and more in costs if not taken care of. He provided me a quote for those items in which we will be addressing sooner than later.

Thanks California Plumbing!

I needed to have the sink in my master bath worked on. It was not draining properly, one of the faucets was stuck, and both handles were leaking. I called California Plumbing, and they scheduled me for the following day. I then received a text with the technician's name and photo. I appreciate this extra security step. The following day, Michael called to tell me he was on his way. I showed him the sink, and what I was hoping to have done. He showed me some corrosion on the handles, and suggested I have the faucet and handles replaced. Sounds good to me. He told me he would get the items and come right back. He then texted me photos of handle options. He came back and finished the job. He also noticed my water pressure was low. He'll come back and fix that, and also replace the handles and faucet on the second sink in the bathroom so they match.
Bottom line, I have never met a technician in any field who was as professional and helpful as Michael. He went right to work, and made sure everything was working properly. Thank you Michael, and thank you California Plumbing! I couldn't be more pleased.

We came back from a camping trip and noticed that our hot water heater had some issues. We called several of the larger plumbing companies, but they either were too busy, did not service our current water heater, or did not respond. I was pleasantly surprised that our tech Joseph came early in the morning and was able to install a new water heater for us before lunch. Very professional and would definitely use this company again for other plumbing projects.

It was a small drip leak from the hose bib located in the front of the house. Easy fix. At 4:30 pm on a Monday I am all set with a new washer and replacement valve as a backup. The stripped screw on the handle of the bib was a challenge so I decided to just replace the entire valve. 36 years in the military and I prepared accordingly. The house was built in 2004 and the valve joint where it connected to the copper pipe had more than a few coats of paint serving as a seizing agent. No problem I thought. I turned the valve screw a complete 360 degrees before realizing I had turned the entire copper pipe extending back into the house with it. See pics. I now went from an easy fix to a major problem as I could see that the initial small leak was the least of my problems. I turned the main water line on to assess my damage and a geiser came out from the back of the valve. Yup, even the best of plans can crash and burn. I called California Plumbing and explained the situation. Tatianna was great! She was able to get me on the first service call the following morning. I could not ask for me. She also called me right back with an answer to my question of whether I could isolate the water turn off to just the outside bibs and still keep water on throughout the house. Back east you can, but not here. Her quick response allowed me time to make alternate plans for my family of 6. The next morning Devon Elson showed up. I knew this job was going to require going into the wall space and I was concerned from experience that some plumbers can be heavy handed accessing the wall and make the hole unnecessarily large. As this was outside, I did not want to invite critters into the house so I expected to be patching up work after Devon finished his repairs. Let me tell you, this man must have been a surgeon in a prior life. He was meticulous and conservative about how he approached accessing the wall. See pics. He ensured he had the access he needed and within 90 minutes was done with the work. I was on a conference call and when I came out, I was shocked to see he had also patched up the wall and cleaned up all debris without leaving a trace that there was work done. Other than the wall requiring painting he left me good to go without my having to do any of the work I expected to be doing later that day. Devon and California Plumbing will be my forever go to on all plumbing issues going forward. If you are like me, and value quality and reflect that with your loyalty, do yourself a service and add them to your plumbing company on all future calls. You will not regret it. Devon was professional, thoughtful and efficient. I could not be happier with the service and the cost was more than far. Customer for life!

I found California Plumbing on yelp and spoke with Aaron. He was fast and responsive to all my questions. I called and setup an appointment and the lady was very friendly and provided all the details about my appointment. On the day of service Robert showed up on time and did great work. He was efficient, professional, easy to talk with and even answered other plumbing questions. I plan on using them again for any of my future plumbing needs!

There's so much to say, I could write a short story here. In a time when customer service isn't really commonplace; California Plumbing takes it up past the top notch. From the first phone call and friendly voice on the line, things were great. Service was same day and within 2 hours of the call, AND they even texted a photo of the tech coming out. My technician, Alex, was probably the nicest technician I have ever dealt with. He was friendly, he explained everything as he went, and the entire work area was cleaner when he left than it was before he arrived. I know that we have a new plumber for as long as they are around. Thanks California Plumbing for the fantastic job.

Devan came out after hours. He fixed the current problem, discussed future work to aleviate recurring problems that have been going on for years. I have used different plumbers through the years and Devan was spot on with the long term issues and resolutions.

Devan was professional, and kind. Thank you Devan! Will look to you for long term resolutions to the issues at this house!

The scheduling process was easy. I messaged them through Yelp and quickly received a response and a confirmation via text and email. Robert arrived right on time. He was friendly, quick and efficient. Great price and no hassle electronic, secure payment. I would hire them again.

Worked with Robert throughout the process. Found him to be responsive, skilled, knowledgeable, and very personable. He identified the issue (burst pipe), referred me to someone for next steps around insurance, led the team that replaced my main line, and relocated pipes for my new bathroom. I'd highly recommend him and CA plumbing.

Our master shower made a knocking noise whenever we turned it on. I called California Plumbing and they scheduled an appointment right away. Cody came out to check on the noise and got us squared away quickly and effeciently. I really appreciate California Plumbing and will definitely be using them in the future.

Chico gave me the best experience I've ever had with a home repair. He was very knowledgeable on what was covered by the HOA and what needed to be covered by me and he carries a very expert and professional attitude. He communicated everything he was doing to my plumbing and now both my master and guest sink are working perfectly! He even gave me some helpful tips on preventing the issue from happening again. Thanks Chico you're the man!

California Plumbing was easy to get ahold of, responsive, and quick get to me scheduled.
Devan was a total professional who did a great job on my under sink valve replacements and drain repair.
Will definitely use them in the future when needed!

Great team and great work! I found them very responsive and kept us up to date with all information along the way. This is a messy job and the employees did everything in their power to keep the work space and my property clean by laying down tarps for the dirt for example. Highly recommended.

Had a toilet shut off valve snap off when I was handling it. They arrived within 1.5 hours and got it fixed within another hour. They even called a water damage assessment company to come out and give a free assessment of whether there was likely to be any additional work needed. I didn't have to google more companies. That was nice.

Sean L.

Completely unprofessional, sloppy and takes shortcuts, damages personal property without taking responsibility as well as on purpose with malice, would not recommend to anyone.

Our building hired then to do a piping job and were mislead by their glowing reviews on Yelp as we now know. All of these 5 stars must be from their friends and family members.

From the beginning we saw that their work was sloppy and careless. They cut irregular holes in our walls and wanted to run the new pipes on the outside of our walls which was ridiculous and we had to fight them on that. They caused multiple water leaks during the course of their job and this led to damages to multiple units. Instead of cleaning up when it happened, they elected to just let it soak into the flooring and cause further damage.

During their work one of my shower drains clogged and I believed it was due to their job but they denied it and would not fix the problem without a new contract. However, their plumber came in and snaked my shower drain anyways and broke it. This led to flooding in the unit below. They denied all responsibility and would not fix their damage. Finally, they came with the city inspector and did not let us know to look at their work without us present which was extremely sketchy. During this time, I noticed that my surfboards ankle strap was cut which I can only imagine was with spiteful intent from the plumbing company because of our disputes. They had all of our garage codes.

California plumbing is unprofessional, immoral, careless, takes shortcuts, and does not take responsibility for their actions. Do not hire them.

I originally started my search for a faucet install with another company and reached out to California Plumbing for a second quote. I should have just started here. They were super responsive, scheduled me quickly, were very competitively priced and did a great job. They were at my house before I heard back from some of the other conpanies I reached out to. Highly recommend them and will be using them again for sure.

Mr. Chico is AMAZING. He is very knowledgeable of the problem and gives us advice on how to make sure that we prevent future plumbing issues. Thank you so much for helping us out.

What a great find. Yes, the 5 star ratings are valid. Communication: great , promptness: great, price: great and they stick to their quote, quality of work: great! Devan did a great job moving our laundry room gas line. Have a 25yr old condo with a 25 yr old laundry room design. Problem is our 2022 washer and dryer were just a tight squeeze and the doors wouldn't quite close. The existing gas line stood out too far from the wall. Devan worked on redoing the pipes so that they would be snug to the wall. Now our front load washer and dryer fit and the doors close. Problem solved. I will definitely call these guys again when I have a plumbing issue.

Our shower drain got clogged (after 3 weeks of moving into the new house).

I contacted them the day before the service and it was past the regular business hours.

I got a reply within less than an hour.
They were upfront about the price and informed me that depending on how clogged the drain was it would be more.

We scheduled for the Friday ( I contacted them on Wednesday).

Chico was out plumber.
He arrived on time, went straight to the shower and started working on the problem.

He was fast, friendly and knowledgeable.
He told us because the house was built in the 60s the plumbing was wearing out. (Same thing the insurance plumber told us but wanted to charge us $800 to clean the drain)

He gave us options as to how to avoid the problem both short term and long term.

Very satisfied with the service.
I would definitely recommend them.
If I ever need plumbing services again I will not hesitate to contact them.

Both my husband and I were beyond satisfied.

Hector replaced our water pressure regulator, corroded hose bib valves, and installed a new kitchen sink faucet that was leaking. He was timely, communicated well, provided excellent customer service and got the job done the same day as the estimate. Everything looks great and no more leaks.

Easy to book. Amazingly responsive. Incredibly knowledgeable.
Benji arrived at the beginning of the scheduled timeframe, assessed the issues and told me the issues were less complicated than my description to them. So it wasn't as expensive. Gotta love that!

They are now my go to plumbers!!

KL E.

3/22/2022

We had a great experience with this company and with Benji who came out to install an outdoor rain shower next to our jacuzzi. Estimating and scheduling was super easy, all done online. I got a text and a photo before Benji arrived so I didn't feel like I was letting a stranger in my home. Benji was very friendly and helpful. He showed me the parts to order for the shower, saving money, and then came back to install--easy peasy. He even looked at our water heater and placed a fresh sticker on it. As a new homeowner it's important to have good people to call on to meet your needs. I am grateful to have California Plumbing in our Rolodex. Great pricing and service. Thank you!

My faucet recently spring a leak and I was referred to California Plumbing via word of mouth. When I called in Lauren was so helpful and had a plumber sent to me right away. Chico came out , clean uniform, professional, and loads of knowledge. He was able to make my repair in less than an hour. I was even happier when I got the invoice. Prices are very fair. Would recommend this company to all.

Our bathroom sink was clogged and in trying to snake the pipes, I inadvertently push out the p-trap and made a mess with water all over the floor and cabinet. I noticed that the clog was in the pipe going into the main line. I search for a local plumbing services and after call a few, California Plumbing quoted the best price and was able to do the draining services the same day. They also had a special and coupon for those needed service, very nice bonus. They arrived on time, was unclogged in 20 min. Tested drainage and left everything cleaned. Amazing service, will highly recommend. Answered all my questions and very professional.

Camille L.

10/06/2022 12:00:00 SA

Fastest response I've gotten from a company EVER! They were able to send someone the very next day. Chico helped me out both times I scheduled with them and he was INCREDIBLE! Helped with every thing I was concerned about, gave me all the information I needed and made sure I was completely informed. I will continue to use this company any time I have plumbing problems!

If there was a way to grant more stars, I would have. From the first interaction with the office (Lauren) to the guy (Daven) who came over, it was a perfect experience. When we saw they had a 5-star rating, we were doubtful. But when Daven came, he was more than kind, explained to us what we saw on the camera screen, and was able to take video on his phone and send it to us. Eventually, the Klug in our line was cleared, and he found that the issue was on the city side. We called another firm before we called California plumbing, and they wanted to charge us hundreds of dollars, sighting this as a holiday job. He said anyone we would call would be the same. That drove us to try one more outfit. The original quote from California plumbing was lower. We liked that $35 would get a person to your house and a quote, which sounds totally fair nowadays. Daven told us to call the city and ask them to come over, and the city said they needed to hear from a plumber, not an owner. I texted Daven, and he called the city, and got it all squared away. The city will come over and do their magic with Hydro-power snake that hopefully will get this saga done and over. If you need an honest plumbing company, choose California Plumbing.

Working with California Plumbing was easy and effective, from scheduling the appointment all the way to work completion. My toilet was making an odd noise and Benji (who was wonderful to work with) was able to immediately diagnose the problem and even showed me exactly what was causing the issue. In my case, my toilet was old and needed a full replacement. Benji was able to come back first thing the next morning and finished the job very quickly. The new toilet is working great and he hauled away the old toilet. Benji was extremely personable, knowledgable and explained things as he went, which I appreciated.

Would definitely recommend California Plumbing to anyone! Thank you California Plumbing and Benji for the quick and thorough work.

C S.

09/06/2022 12:00:00 SA

I had a great experience with California Plumbing and will definitely consider them for any future plumbing needs for our home. I was contacted shortly after reaching out for an estimate, and was able to set up an appointment with a technician the next day. Upon arrival, Chico was professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and answered all of my questions thoroughly for each of the 3 fixes he performed around our house. Overall, we're very satisfied how everything turned out, and it was also done in a timely manner.

Can't say enough great things about this team. Our gas was shut off for over a week while waiting on another company to send us a quote. I finally called California Plumbing and they were able to come out right away, gave me a great quote, and started the same day. Benji was awesome and went above and beyond with the work done, explanation of everything, and being available. He even came back the next day to make sure everything was working for our inspection with SDG&E. Will definitely be using them for all our plumbing needs!

My experience with this company was a nightmare and is costing me thousands of dollars to remedy my problem. I hired California Plumbing to perform a sewer camera inspection as a final check before moving forward with a home purchase. Aaron, the owner, hastily performed the inspection and reported there were no issues. At that time I took his verbal report and his statement on his receipt (provided in attached photos) as dependable proof that the plumbing was in good condition. Short of two weeks after purchasing the home, dirty water started to come out of my bath drain and my toilets started to gurgle and regurgitate toilet paper and waste. I found another company and they discovered the pipe Aaron inspected was the wrong one and they are digging over 6 feet underground to expose where the problem is. If you want someone that truly cares about the quality of their work and isn't centered on churning customers, do not hire California Plumbing.

Aaron has been extremely uncooperative, unhelpful, and non-compliant. I have asked him for a copy of the sewer scope video and he has yet to produce it. I am certain he does not have a copy and is anticipating me to stop requesting it. He actually tried to defend his shoddy job and absolve himself of any wrongdoing. I hope this review finds those who are searching for a plumber and deters them from moving forward with this company. Also if you are a victim of his shoddy service file a complaint against him with the BBB or DCA! This is the only way we can stop these businesses from continuing their operations.

12/14/2021

Benji gave us a very fair and competitive quote to replace our old water heater. We also had a mystery leak somewhere in the house. Benji had an idea of where the leak was and how to fix it so we decided to use California Plumbing. Benji had the water heater replaced within an hour and then found a bad seal on an upstairs toilet that had caused the leaking. He had to raise the wax seal by elevating the mount, which he did in short order. We will definitely recommend and use Californian Plumbing for our future needs. Thank you Benji!

Shelby M.

8/25/2022

We had a really nice experience with Robert! He was very professional and did not try to upsell us or try to make it seem more complicated than it was like the other plumbers who gave us quotes. The water line to our refrigerator is now working perfectly. We will definitely hire California Plumbing again!

Edwin R.

12/06/2021 12:00:00 SA

After a long, arduous search for a same day plumber, California Plumbers tech, Chico, came out. Excellent overall communication from the office to the tech about special entrance instructions. My toilet/shower/clog was extremely serious and disastrous. After a careful diagnosis from Chico M. (tech), my finances were out of reach to complete the work. However, I still received an excellent quote, based on the amount of work involved and feedback from other relatives' experiences. Rather than shoot in the dark in the future, I will be calling CA Plumb. for their honesty and punctuality in customer service!

Ruben O.

03/02/2022 12:00:00 SA

Today the plumber, Benji with California Plumbing arrived on time and completed the following... replaced water valve, added pressure gauge, and reset toilet. He works quickly. Their prices are reasonable and I would definitely use him again. Sidenote, he came out several months ago and replaced piping to repair a pinhole water leak. I have used him twice and would ask for home again.

11/30/2022

Had a hot water slab leak that went undiagnosed by incompetent plumbers my HOA sent and they told me it wasn't a slab leak. I believed them. Meanwhile my gas bills kept rising, my floor was warm, and my cold water tap was coming out warm so I had to figure out the issue. So I called California plumbing who recommended I call CPL since all clues pointed to a slab leak. So I forced my HOA to call the leak detection experts at CPL and they did indeed confirm the hot water slab leak within 2 seconds. Plumber HOA sent wasted an hour of my life convincing me it wasn't a slab leak and is responsible for letting the leak go on for months. I wish I had the time to sue him. I made sure my HOA used California plumbing and not their useless third rate plumbers they usually send. California plumbing were super quick and responsive. Benji and another technician made quick work of rerouting an new hot water line in my ceilings and walls for the entire condo. They did it in less than 5 hours. Would definitely use them again! Don't ever fully trust plumbers HOA send or any plumbers for diagnosing a slab leak! Always defer to CPL as they are the only trusted authority on finding leaks underground. Call CPL to detect the underground leak if you feel all signs point to a slab leak and then call California plumbing to fix!

We have a leak in the main bathroom shower. I first called another company that had high reviews on Yelp, but they had a waiting list, so I called California Plumbing after reading their reviews. They said they could come out within 2 hours. I was surprised they could come out so quickly. I was at work, so I rushed home. Good thing, because Benji arrived shortly after. Wow, fast response! Benji was knowledgeable, fast, and was able to address our issues so we can get things resolved. They were also reasonably priced. I highly recommend California Plumbing!

California plumbing does an excellent job of communicating estimates, identifying the technicians prior to arrival and payment options/process. Their prices are very competitive. I had both Chico and Nestor at my residences to do work. Their professionalism and knowledge of their trade is impressive. I will not hesitate to use california plumbing in the future

Li C.

12/15/2021

There was a bathtub leak and they came for repair. Tech tried to charge $1500 for repair, when the only issue was a $20 leaking tub spout. Tried to tell me the shower valve was bad and too old and needed replacement and the tile had to be cut out. The valve is a Moen and only 3 yrs old and was in perfect condition. Repairman tried to scare me saying he will report to the HOA unless I allowed the billing. VERY dishonest company that tries to screw you and then threaten you. Watch out !

Chaniel L.

04/08/2022 12:00:00 SA

Rhonda S.

6/14/2021

From the first request for information they were prompt and professional. I received a reminder notifications the day before and prior to arrival. Benji arrived and quickly looked at everything I needed. Within just a short while he was able to provide me an estimate for the handful of plumbing issues I needed worked on. We were able to come to an agreement for those items and he got straight to work. I did find one of the items to be a little too expensive for me at this time so we decided just not to do that one. I had an errand to run and left Benji to complete his services. When I came back he was just about complete. He worked quickly and everything was just as we agreed. We chit chatted for a bit once he was complete and taking care of the billing. Benji is a nice guy and has a great personality.

Loved that the technician was wearing a mask as safety is is number one right now. Chico repaired our garbage disposal, unclogged the dishwasher drain & stopped a leaking & flooding kitchen sink all in under one hour. Thanks for your help & expert skills. Very professional & thanks for keeping me in the loop with my sink & dishwasher issues every step of the way. 5 stars! Definitely will keep California Plumbing in my saved contacts for next time & definitely will recommend your company to my friends & family. Thanks for everything.

Very pleased with California Plumbing. Did everything via the Yelp app. They were able to provide the lowest quote for my job. Communication via text was convenient.

They provided an arrival time for the technician.
Nestor showed up right on time and completed the replacement of the water pressure regulator within the hour. Very professional and quick.

Highly recommend California Plumbing!

I found this company looking for local area services that could assist the same day. I read reviews in various posts including here on yelp and noted they operate around the clock. My call was immediately answered by Rachel who took personal interest in my needs. I was explained that repairs could be handled within the hour. Further, she specified a Technician who'd be assisting by name, Nestor.

What impressed me most about this company is their transparency. While Nestor could be at my home in an hour or less, it was brought to my attention that their sources couldn't supply the part needed for the job. Rachel was up front about that and provided alternative options for me to ponder versus sending a specialist out to discover that after-the-fact.

Together, we were able to find a solution. Shortly thereafter, Nestor arrived ahead of schedule. He clearly set expectations on what was going to be done and how he was going to do it. He did just so.

This is a local group of professionals in their trade and in offering top level customer service. I highly recommend California Plumbing.

Superb job !!! Very competitively priced and we were very happy with Nestor who did all the wok. He was very meticulous in completing all of the work. He showed up in personal protective gear, and was very detailed in explaining everything that he had to do. I highly recommend California plumbing. They are punctual and professional. We had a 7:30 AM appointment and Nestor was here at 7:25. I could not be more pleased with the work they have done.

Shawn L.

5/28/2021

For years our tub kept clogging, even when using a hair trap. After trying a few different plumbers in San Diego, we called California Plumbing to see if they could fix it once and for all. Benji was our technician and he was so nice, explained everything clearly, and went over pricing before he completed fixing his diagnosis. After he unclogged the tub, we haven't had any issues whatsoever! We will definitely call him next time we need any plumbing work done! I usually don't leave reviews, but I felt compelled to with how professional and effective he was. Thank you so much!!

Chico was super polite, professional, and helpful! He communicates clearly, so I could understand what had to be done. He welded an extension, and replaced our patio hose bib which would not shut off. In the past, we greatly overpaid for plumbing. California Plumbing charged a very fair price. Thank you California Plumbing! We will call the next time we need help with our plumbing.

Benji Escale of California Plumbing came to provide an estimate for 2 repairs - low hot water pressure with the tub/shower and a chronically slow-to-drain bathroom sink. During estimation, he was able to diagnose the problems quickly and determined that no new parts were needed and that they were easy fixes. I asked him if he can go ahead and do the repairs and he was able to complete the repairs during the same visit.

All I have to say is Aaron my man. You're a complete life saver. I had some sewage backup into my place. I called Aaron he came to the rescue with out any hesitation ,brought his team of professional which were well equip and took care of drainage at an exceptional speed. I definitely recommended booking for any future plumbing projects or emergency. He is on my top speed dial list of contacts. Thank so very much Aaron

I had a tankless water heater drained. It was a pretty quick job. I had one other issue with a sink and the technician actually saved me some money. I purchased a $20 part through Amazon and fixed it myself. I would hire California Plumbing again.

I've had multiple services done at my house and all have been A-1 quality. Professional service for scheduling, online payment, text notifications, techs are on time, and thorough explanations of the job being done. I also feel I'm left with a better understanding of my plumbing system and what needs to be done in the future.

I'm sorry that I am late in posting a review for this company. Last year I was having issues with my plumbing. My house was built in 1939 and some of the piping was cast-iron. Also I learned that the wrong types of connections had been used in the areas they had updated. I was getting lots of stopped up toilets.

I got three or four estimates. California plumbing was not the most expensive nor were they the cheapest. I contacted them for the work and I have not had one problem sense! Maybe it is good that I waited a year so that you know that The work they did is of good quality.

I would recommend California plumbing!

Chico was great! I got the appointment in a reasonable amount of time. He showed up on time, diagnosed the issues and gave me repair estimates with various options. He had to order some parts, but they came in quickly and he returned promptly to install, which took care of the issue I'd had. Very friendly and knowledgeable plumber.

I HIGHLY recommend California Plumbing! My experience from start to finish has been great.

My service technician Benji Escale was the absolute BEST - he was knowledgeable, professional, trustworthy and very friendly. From quote to project completion he was a pleasure to work with! I went through about 5 companies to get quotes to convert a linen closet to a washer/dryer room, all of which overcomplicated the work and used scare tactics on me to increase the price. This was my first time doing any major plumbing work, so I was very nervous. Benji came in and knew exactly what was needed for the job, and took the time to explain the work to me in a way that made sense. I am so happy I went with Benji - if you're looking for high quality work for a fair price you have to go with him.

I will absolutely be using Benji from California Plumbing for all future projects. Use this company, you won't be disappointed!

Finding a contractor that is willing to show up is hard. I called these guys on a Friday evening and they came out on Monday morning. The guy was a little late but nothing to get crazy over.

I grew up on job sites, my dad and uncle have been plumbers for over 30 years (each). I would have fixed it myself but I don't have the tools to do it, as such on my dad's next vacation down here, I will have him fix the issue correctly.

We had a pipe leak in our wall. the guy opened it up and fixed it, however, I don't think he did that good of a job. The pipe was not strapped or blocked at all. I pointed that out to him and he put one strap on the pipe but it was still floating in the sink.

We have a weird old sink. I told him he didn't do a good enough job strapping the pipe and he told me that he squirted a bunch of caulking in between the pipe and the sink so it would be fine. Their fee was $550 or $470 cash. I elected for the $470 cash option. He worked for about two hours and was in a hurry to leave (so it seemed). Our faucet/pipe that comes out of the sink is flopping around because it was not properly secured to a block/strap.

In the end they fixed the leak, but they didn't do everything they should have done to ensure the faucet/pipe was secured in the sink. Have you every heard a pipe rattle in a wall? If so, that is from a lumber failing to properly block/strap the pipe.

I feel like they over charged me for what they did and didn't do a quality job. I wouldn't have minded the price if they did a good job.

I need my house re-piped, I was going to consider these guys until I saw this quality (or lack there of) of work.

I would not suggest these guys to others and I would not use them again.

Terrible unprofessional company. Tech came to my home for an estimate to replace the bathtub in the guest room. I was told I'd receive an estimate via Email the next day. After waiting 4 days with no response I called their office and was told I'd receive the estimate by the end of the day. It never happened. After talking with the office the next day I was assured they would send the estimate. To this day I've never heard back from CALIFORNIA PLUMBING. EASTLAKE PLUMBING did the work and they were professional, on time and very friendly. EASTLAKE PLUMBING IS THE COMPANY TO CALL FOR ALL YOUR PLUMBING NEEDS!!!!!°

California Plumbing is an AMAZING COMPANY! Recently, I was able to refer Aaron Hall and his California Plumbing team to a local resident in our community.

The resident was BLOWN AWAY by their professionalism, response time and dedication to getting the job done.

Above and beyond their professional experience, their customer service and candor is TOP NOTCH.

I would recommend California Plumbing to anyone, for their plumbing needs, large or small!

California Plumbing is one of the best plumbing companies in San Diego!

Had a small drip leak in my front yard near the main line. Nestor from California Plumbing was very knowledgeable and took care of issue in less than an hour. Called them at 9am, he arrived at 11am and was done at noon. Very fast and efficient. Would highly recommend them for all my plumbing needs.

BUYER BEWARE! I scheduled an appointment through Rachael for Cal Plumbing to install a new garbage disposal. I told her I had already purchased the disposal and the electrical cord, which was a plug in type. She quoted me $139. The technician showed up and wanted $200 to do the installation. Then, he said they would not provide a warranty unless I purchased their disposal for $350. I looked up their exact model online, and it was for sale at the local Home Depot for $107. I phoned Rachel. She said that they would charge $169 to install the unit I had already purchased with the electrical cord. I declined the price switch. The technician left. Then, Rachael called me back and said if the technician was around, he'd do the job for $139. I declined. I dislike giving a small business a bad review. But, BUYER BEWARE.

I'm a fan! We finally had to replace all of our outgoing drainage pipes in our 60 year old house. We got four estimates and California Plumbing was the best--in one case by $7K. The work required cutting through about 30 feet of concrete outside, ripping up the floor of one of the bathrooms, and replacing all lines to the street. We also had new shower valves installed. Aaron, Benji and team (at one time 6 plumbers) did a supper job and even fixed things for free that were not in my initial request. These guys were super personable, friendly, professional and easy to talk to. They were accommodating of our changing needs--even after the contract was signed--and the finished product is as we hoped.

I called California Plumbing yesterday because I thought there was a leak in our laundry room pipes. They sent a technician within 2 hours and it turns out the pipes were not leaking but the drain had a blockage. The technician (Nestor) was on time, polite and explained the problem. Since I own a snake I decided to do it myself and he was fine with that, i was not charged for having him come to my house and quote me like some other companies do. Even though I didn't get anything done by them I was very satisfied with Nestor's customer service and professionalism.

So I couldn't clear the clog not even with an electrical auger I rented so I called them again, this time I got Zaby and his helper. They were on time, Zaby was very communicative and explained in detail all the options I had. They worked in a clean and organized manner and even placed my washer back how it was supposed to be (I had moved it before they arrived). Again, this crew just like the previous one, was very professional and I did not feel they were trying to up sell me like some other companies do. Hope I don't run into problems again but I will definitely use their services if needed in the future. Highly recommend them!

This review is on behalf of my father. He had a kitchen leak where the pipes would leak when running cold water. My BIL recommends California Plumbing. They came out and did a great job. That says a lot since my father rarely comments how good someone is. He says he would use them again. I will add them to my list to use when I need a plumber in SD. Thank you for a job well done!

We needed a plumber to do further research when we were in the process of purchasing our home. We found California plumbing and they gave us a diagnostic inspection with results in a timely manner. From there, we've relied on them from switching out faucets, toilets, and plumbing issues around our home and he has even been a great referral source throughout the process when other items have came up. I would definitely recommend Aaron Hall and California plumbing for all your plumbing needs.

Chico M.

03/05/2021 12:00:00 SA

Cali plumbing are very professional and respectful, even wore shoe protectors when entering my house. Unclogged toilet and even informed me of other issues I may want to fix at a later time. Cleaned up after themselves.

This is my second review for California Plumbing and it's 5 stars again. We've been using them since April 2019 and I haven't looked back. We've used them a few times and in every instance, they have been a pleasure to work with. Aaron and his guys are professional, courteous and always do quality work. They take the stress off the home owner and immediately put you at ease. We've had them do an emergency repair for a gushing leak, add an additional spigot for a tenant that wanted a more convenient way to water plants and more. They are amazing and Rachel their office manager is wonderful too. She's easy to get ahold of and responds to scheduling requests quickly. We love these guys and would recommend them highly to anyone.

A++ Service from California Plumbing! After searching for a legit plumbing company for almost a year, I found California Plumbing. My project consisted of running new gas service, water service, sewer, kitchen, laundry and bathroom supply. They had the contract drawn up on Friday and started work on Monday. The scope of work was completed on schedule and inspection went even better than planned! Aaron and his crew, (Mark and Joe) did a fantastic job of working together in a clean, intelligent, professional matter. They followed all Covid protocol and that was above and beyond the great workmanship they did! From the initial phone call with Rachel to the consultation with Aaron, I knew they were the right fit for my ARDU project. I will use them again in the future no only for my personal home but for my residential redevelopment projects! Thanks Again!
YOU ROCK!

Thank You Benji!! Benji listened to all that we had troubleshot on our own and asked us at every step what we were comfortable going forward with. When the issue became we just needed a new toilet, he took our prefrences into account even though it might have meant a harder install on his end. He was friendly & efficient!! Will definitely be calling California Plumbing SD for all our future needs!

I built an outdoor shower and CA plumbing came to do the final hook up. Everything was as it should be: on time, prepared, professional, pre-agreed on price and excellent workmanship.
Gentleman was done quickly and tested his work.
I will only use them in the future.
Bathroom remodel is next.

5 stars well deserved, the technician came on Saturday to my place and saved my baby shower party in Chula Vista. A super fair price for weekend emergency, He did what he could to unclogged the sewer mainline and came back on Monday to finish the job. Really friendly and found a way for us to save money. Thanks Benji for saving us

We had a good experience with California Plumbing. Our Plumber was Aaron, the owner. He was in and out within an hour... it would have taken us half a day so it was well worth the cost. He needed a special custom part for our faucet and he was able to create the part at our house. We will be using this company next time we need a plumber.

I had a suspected leak under the foundation of my house and California Plumbing sent two very qualified and professional plumbers to address my concern. The technicians, both named Nestor, were quick to respond and professional in fixing my leaking plumbing. They were thorough in diagnosing and explaining the problem to me and very reasonable in their repair costs. They even replaced a faulty gate valve that I had been meaning to repair but didn't have the time. I'll be sure to call California Plumbing for my next plumbing concern.

Phenomenal!!! Aaron, Nestor and the rest of the crew not only provided EXTREMELY COMPETITIVE pricing, but they were able to complete the bid UNDER their estimate because it ended up being easier than anticipated. I was given a conservative estimate so that there would be no surprises once they began work, which I greatly appreciated. At the end of the job, you wouldn't even have known their crew had even been there, that's how well they clean up after themselves! When it comes to plumbing, it's such a pain in the neck (sometimes literally being contorted under the sink and/or the house) that I despise having to make any type of plumbing repairs. These guys alleviate the stress and get the job done for a reasonable price that I would be happy to recommend to anyone having any sort of plumbing issue beyond the scope of their personal skill set.

Thanks again for squeezing me in on such a short notice and the high level of professionalism!

Johnny G.

12/01/2020 12:00:00 SA

Aaron is definitely the best I've worked with. He's one the most hands-on owner I've worked with. His years of experience coupled with an attention to detail and desire to serve, helped us avoid some unnecessary costs. Can't recommend enough!

Danika D.

1/31/2018

California Plumbing saved the day! I called Aaron late at night and he had someone at the house the next morning. When their tech was running a few minutes late from their last call, the receptionist called to apologize and make sure that the 15min delay would still work with my schedule. She was very kind, accommodating, kept me updated with the new arrival time and reassured me that he would be done by the time I needed to leave the house. Once Dakota arrived, he got straight to work... setting up bags and his own towels on the floor to insure a mess free clean up! Dakota was very professional, friendly and answered all of my questions before he left.

I will definitely recommend California Plumbing to all of my friends and family! They made my first experience a great one!

8/13/2020

California plumbing came to my home yesterday and put a two way cleanout system in my yard. They had to dig down about 4 feet to connect with sewer. They did a wonderful job and best part of all, they left it almost as clean as they found it. They says pictures speak a thousand words so see for yourself. I give Nestor, Joey and California Plumbing 5 stars and would be happy to give more, for a job well done in a timely manner. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Jim W.

08/05/2019 12:00:00 SA

I called California Plumbing and they came out within an hour and Zaby was very helpful and upfront. The pipe I thought needed to be repaired ASAP turned out it went to the sprinkler system.
He capped the line and told me to get PBC at a later time which saved me lots of money. Oh and he did not charge me for the visit.
These guys are straight shooters and I appreciate that very much.
Good outfit.

Aaron and his guys at California Plumbing are the best! As a real estate professional, I need someone who is I can trust and refer to my friends, family, and clients.

We requested a quote after a referral from a friend. Aaron came out super quick and gave a very fair quote. He came back out the very next day and completed the work on our shower in under the time he said it would take. Super nice and friendly gentlemen. We would use again in a heartbeat.

Michael N.

02/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

I needed my new home to be scoped as soon as possible before contingency were removed. I'm talking about having someone come out the next day! I called about 5 different places and almost all the prices were between $250-$300 which I was expecting already. The only issue was no one was available the next day... California plumbing was able to come the next day though! Not only paying 250 which is the lowest but the quality of work was efficient and well explain. Evening the payment was very professional. I had to wait for an invoice to come through. They are awesome!

John W.

8/13/2018

Seriously professional, knowledgeable and friendly. Aaron, Nestor, and Jaime and the rest of the crew have really outdone themselves from day 1. I've worked with them for 5 years now, and from clogged sinks, to supply line re routs, California plumbing has surpassed every expectation. They've been timely, honest, professional and hard working throughout. I'm not sure what we'd do without them!

Jorge F.

5/24/2021

I'd like to thank Aaron and his team for taking care of us through a slab leak. Full home reroute and main line replacement. After a few months we decided to call California plumbing back and installed a whole house water filter. The crew was great and the work was done in a timely manner. Definitely recommend

Exercise services! My bathroom sink was leaking. I had an appointment on that day and had to leave at 1pm. After I called them, they showed up in a very short time. Their plumber is very professional! I will definitely contact them again if there is any plumbing issue occurred.

Bill C.

2/20/2018

Another great job by Nestor! Called Presidents Day morning and they were open! I had a water heater problem and they scheduled me at 230. Nestor texted me at 1030 and said he was ready to go now if I was available. Needless to say I met him and there and were were fixed with 20 to 30 minutes.
Great service and nice people.

Ben F.

1/14/2021

Responsive and on time when we needed them. Appreciated the online confirmation of appointment time and notification when the plumber was on the way. Benjamin Escale did an excellent job with diagnosing/repairing our shower leak and even caulked around the plate after replacing the faucet handle.

Kristen S.

9/22/2017

I came home from the studio, pulled my car in backwards and noticed a bunch of water falling off of my garage door. First Thought: Woah Did it Rain? Second Thought: Uh Oh.

I called a plumber that's been to my house before, after I called and texted my brother a million times, and with the help of an iPhone, pictures, video and my brother, we got the water to stop flooding my garage. Unfortunately my previous plumber was booked up for 6 days - so I asked for a referral and he gave me Aaron's name, number and told me he was a really good guy.

So I called Aaron.

Not only was he incredibly nice, but he coordinated with me and came out within just 3 hours of our conversation. He installed the entire unit by himself, handled the gas and the water, hauled out my old water heater, cleaned up all of his tools and equipment and also looked at my bathroom sink. My hair likes to shed.

Just overall a freaking incredible experience. If you need help, want a very professional and friendly plumber who communicates thoroughly - give Aaron a call. Just a complete rock star and you won't regret it.

Shower Time!

I had a leak in a wall / ceiling and Chris came out and handled it like a boss. He was straight forward and answered all my questions. Such good prices and work that I had them take on a second job I had been waiting on tackling.

Second job was for a gas line to be moved to a more convenient location. Nestor helped me out and was quick and efficient. He was cool and did a solid job.

I kinda wish I had more work for them to do. I look forward to referring California Plumbing to anyone who need good work done!

3/14/2017

Aaron and his crew saved the day! I had a different plumber come first and he cost me hundreds of dollars in electric and plumbing parts that i did NOT need! I should have called Aaron first!
He completely fixed the problem I was having at my salon. They are knowledgeable, friendly, prompt! They assisted me early in the morning to accommodate for my customers later in the day. Thank you so much!!!

Great company, I called California plumbing and they answered right away. Rachel was very responsive and took down all my request and answered all my questions. I had California plumbing come out to my house diagnose the problem and fixed it with no problems. Aaron and his crew did a fantastic job all the way from his office manager to his field technicians.Great job California plumbing I would recommend to anyone

Had California Plumbing out for the second time this morning. The first call was for a backed up main line. They did a great job so Icalles them again, this time for a leaking kitchen faucet. Nestor was right on time, diagnosed a defect in the faucet itself, identified the part I needed and didn't charge me a dime. You don't see that kind of customer service every day. Thanks Nestor!

6/27/2019

We had several jobs over several months that needed to be done. California Plumbing did a great job with communication throughout the process, including text alerts. Nestor had good expertise in many areas - water, gas line, pipes, appliances, etc.

Scheduling with Rachel was easy and collaborative. They always arrived on time or communicated any changes that were needed.

The prices are reasonable. They won't be the lowest price, but they also are much better than other companies.

Alison L.

8/20/2019

Every bit of interaction with California Plumbing was top rate: from Rachel in the office to the owner, Aaron, who came out last minute to scope and give a quote, to Nestor who did the work replacing our old water heater (& catching a bad pipe connection preventing a future water leak/flood) and finally to the pricing! I would 100% recommended California Plumbing to anyone looking for plumbing work! Thank you!!

We had a leak coming from a vanity in the bathroom, Nestor arrived right on time, took one look at it and knew it was from IKEA right away! He suspected the issue was due to the flimsy proprietary parts that come with their vanities. He mentioned we might need to order the parts directly from them and he would return to install another time. In the interim he said he would take a look and see if he could patch it up to get us by (no charge!). Five minutes later he had discovered it had never been installed correctly from day one, he removed the pipe, re-fixed it the way it should have been done 5 years ago and then tested it thoroughly to ensure no more leaks. He was in and out in 10-15 mins and we were left gobsmacked that refused to accept any form of payment. It's been over a week now and sure enough, the pipe is performing like new. If only we had California Plumbing and Nestor do the job the first time around!

You guys will be my first call next time we need plumbing services. 5 Stars well deserved. TY

We had a plumbing emergency at our shop on Sunday. I booked an appointment online through Yelp with California Plumbing for Monday at 10 am for which we received a confirmation email. My husband went in early to be there to meet the plumber, but right before the appointment we received an email (no call) saying that they would not be able to come by today. When we told them the nature of the problem and stressed the urgency, Rachel replied with Unfortunately, all of our techs are on big jobs and can't be pulled off. We should probably change the option to schedule an appointment online. No offer to reschedule, nothing. It was basically too bad for you. Horrible customer service. We called Castillo Works Plumbing instead and they sent someone out within the hour!

I just wanted to take the time to say Aaron Hall with California plumbing is a phenomenal business owner who works skillfully to take care of your plumbing needs. I have seen him referred to many jobs and even when there is something not necessarily needed he will take the time to point that out, that's a great ethical business practice. He can also do Leak detection. He is literally running the business single handed (after an injury) and still managing to create happiness from his services. Great job Aaron and California plumbing team!!!

Terrible experience. The office coordinator was extremely rude, the plumber was late and inexperienced and I was very overcharged. I needed to hire a real professional to take care of the rest of this project. So disappointing.

I sent CA Plumbling photos and my notes below on what I did myself and also some details photos.They gave me an estimate and kept to it. I was happy with their communications. Please keep it up. It helps to know what's going on. Jaime did an outstanding job. Thank you.
Notes about two clogged sinks:
Steps we took to clear clog which did not work.
1. Plugged both sinks with toilet plugged.
2., Pour Drano down both sinks.
3. Took water out of both sinks with bucket.
4. Used 1 cup of Baking soda, 1 cup of hot boiling water with white vinegar into sink. then boiling water on both sides of
the sink.
5. Plugged both sides again. No go
6. Took apart two sessions of the pipes under the sink drained the water. Could not get into pipes.
7. Garbage disposal does work.

My wife and I are remodeling our bathroom and Mr. Aaron Hall was very professional over the phone and very kind to us.

For the free in home consultation, Mr. Hall promptly showed up to our condo and came upstairs to check out the bathroom. He was very in depth with questioning what are plans were so that he could envision what we had in mind for the development of our bathroom. Mr. Hall helped us set up the home with tarps and plastic coverage before he stared demolition. He demolished our full bathroom and took it down to the studs in under 3 hours, including the tub, vanity, toilet, and tile flooring. He gave awesome advice when it came to shower fixtures, upgraded toilets, and sinks.

Mr. Hall and his co-worker came the next time to set the cast iron shower pan and drain on the bathroom floor. When the tile guy came a few days later he was very nicely complimenting Mr. Hall's work with demo and setting the shower pan. Mr. Hall and his co-worker worked well together. They found the water pipes for our condo unit quickly and turned it off and set the plumbing for the shower.

My advice for you is to seek after California Plumbing to do your dirty work because whether it's a small job or a huge remodel project like we have, Mr. Hall and his workers are very diligent and easy to work with. They want to do great work and they are willing to work with other contractors on the same project. Very professional and upstanding plumbers. We couldn't be happier with the way our bathroom is coming together.

Thank you Jaime from California Plumbing for coming over to do exactly what I was quoted for on top of a couple more items that we needed addressed at my house. I could not be happier to finally say that I no longer need to find a plumber. I will continue to do business with Jaime from California Plumbing. The communication of what was going on and what recommendations to get the most out of our systems was greatly appreciated.

Thank you California plumbing I have a rental property that had a pipe leak and you guys were out there immediately. I couldn't get anybody on the phone and I found you guys on yelp.

We called California Plumbing to make some changes and the serviceman was so honest and kind. We decided not to make the changes because of his expertise and advice. He left without making a profit on the service call. We will use this company for all our plumbing needs.

First off... The name... California Plumbing, at 421 Date Ave, Imperial Beach 91932. Be sure that this is the California Plumbing you are looking for. I noticed several other California Plumbing businesses with variations on name or same when I went to write this review.
Second, the price quoted is the price I received even though other plumbers would and have in the past added on to the bill.
Narration: I needed four half inch angle valves replaced and have the water lines reconnected. Not only were the lines reconnected but my plumber replaced the old ones with new. Flanges to the wall were also replaced. The job was QUICK, QUIET, PROFESSIONAL, and CLEAN.
LASTLY the communication was mostly via YELP messaging and worked great. Fast also, and little chance for miscommunication as everything is in writing already :)

Everyone is nervous when they call a plumber, well don't be California Plumbing is a name you can trust. (Note: As I said earlier be sure you are getting the right California Plumbing as there are more than one.)

This is an awesome company! My parents had a pipe burst in their garage and I contacted them and responded right away. Rep Aaron came out and fixed the pipe in no time. Thank you so much! Highly recommend them!

Other than a couple of delays on a busy, rainy day, this was an excellent service experience. Our problem was troublesome to us, but easy for our service man to solve. He fixed our faucets in very short order and our fears of high cost were unfounded, too. We had excellent contact with the office at all times. We would call these guys again!

Giant R.

05/05/2020 12:00:00 SA

Excellent customer service! Thanks for the help and professional service I received. They were great at communicating and letting me know of any delays or issues. Nestor was the service tech who came out and he was completely honest and fair with me. I appreciate the great service, especially during these weird times. I would recommend Nestor and California Plumbing to anyone!

California Plumbing San Diego did an outstanding job installing my washer hook up. They were courteous, precise and neat. They also had the lowest estimate by several hundred dollars. I would use this company again.

What a great Experience!

I called without cold water pressure in my kitchen sink/fridge and some issues with a reverse osmosis system installed by Culligan. I spoke with Rachel and she was super friendly and helpful. She quickly got me an appointment and had Jaime out to my house the next business day. Jaime was amazing, speaks clearly, clean, kind.. (no sweaty butt crack hanging out!) and HONEST. He worked quickly, got everything working and even corrected some mistakes made by the Culligan guy. Honestly I couldn't be happier with the service, experience, and price. THANK YOUUUUU! ( Did I mention he was right on time? Called me by my name and already knew what was going on from the small bits I had told Rachel when I made the appt? Communication is a HUGE key to a successful business and they are at 100%)

Working in the Real Estate industry, I frequently need a good plumber to refer to our clients. Aaron's availability is incredible, his reports are thorough and he is easy to reach by phone for any questions and clarification. His professionalism is remarkable and I'm happy to dial his number for any of my personal or business plumbing needs. He's our go to plumber now.

Called these plumbers today for a main snake they were scheduled to come out between 12:30 -12:45 so I gave it some time I understand it's busy, especially this Veterans Day seeing as my husband is active duty military bummed that 1:40 rolled around and still no show with no notice had to call them and say forget about it. Happy Veterans Day to you all! but this service didn't meet my yelp expectation :/

Great service, very professional job, fair price. I had a small issue on a Sunday and I called Aaron at California Plumbing. He was friendly, courteous and knew exactly what was needed to fix the issue. His on call staff, Benji, called me within 5, and was on site in 25 minutes. Benji explained the issue, priced the job, and got to work. The repair looked great, Benji cleaned up the job site and took away the trash. Aaron called to make sure everything was going fine. Great guys, and can very much recommend.

Hugo M.

10/29/2017

California Plumbing is the real deal! They were prompt and took care of the job fast. Nestor was my plumber. He was honest and very courteous. The prices was fair and lower than three other plumber's estimates. I will definitely use them again for future jobs.

Mike R.

2/27/2018

California Plumbing was professional, helpful, and very quick to respond. We asked for a camera waste line inspection prior to moving in to our new home, and Rachel gave me detailed information I didn't receive from any other company. They sent Nestor out the next day and he was fantastic. Very professional and really walked me through the process and what to look for. The entire process was very easy and smooth. I'll be calling California Plumbing for all of my future plumbing needs.

Been struggling with low water pressure since we moved in. Finally decided to buy a booster pump. Got in touch with Aaron who helped out with selecting a good model and set up a consultation for install. One of his guys came by and diagnosed he underlying problem was with our beotron water filter. Saved me a bunch of cash and found an issue that 2 other plumbers had no idea about. Thanks so much, guys!

Greg L.

10/16/2017

After contacting this company the plumber arrived within 2 hours. I had all the angle stops replaced, water valve for fridge, and water heater gas shut off valve replaced in my rental condo. The work was done in a reasonable time and the bill was exactly what we had discussed.

Absolutely one of the most professional, friendly, and prompt companies I have ever delt with. When I called I talked to the owner and he scheduled me right away. I will definately call this company again in the future.

Lenin M.

5/21/2019

Nestor was amazing! When he came to give us the free estimate, he was very nice and reasonable. He even suggested that we get the parts ourselves to save more money; all we had to pay for was the labor. He gave me his cellphone number and I was able to text him pictures of the parts we needed to make sure we were getting the right ones. If I need other plumbing services, I'll definitely be going with California Plumbing and will be asking for Nestor! Definitely recommend!

I have been using Aaron and California Plumbing for a while and every time I am more impressed. Jaime and Aaron have completely re-piped one of my apartment buildings and have replaced old cracked cast iron pipes in my house. Every time they are professional and on time. I would use anyone else. California Plumbing is my go to crew if I need anything done when it comes to plumbing. You should hesitate to give them a call they will get it done on time and with quality work.

Nate S.

3/30/2017

Aaron and his crew were very reliable. I called to set up appt. with the team to replace leaky toilet and kitchen faucet. They had a member of their team out to my house very quickly by the next business day. The estimate was reasonable and final invoice price was close to what estimate said! The work quality was very professional, and Aaron explained everything completely on what they planned to do initially and did. I was relieved to have such a reliable crew that I could call when needed plumbing works done right.

Loretta E.

12/15/2016

We needed a plumber out to our house immediately after we were woken up to a flooded home after a pipe seemed to have burst under our kitchen sink. Aaron responded quickly and fixed the situation. The service was reasonable and Aaron was super professional. He delivered our broken parts to our house when insurance told us they needed them for evaluation. Aaron even spoke to our home owner insurance company on the phone and gave them details as to what happened so we could get the proper assessments done for the water damage our home endured. Aaron will forever be our go to plumber. We were very satisfied with his service!

Me M.

09/09/2019 12:00:00 SA

I called them after gas line leaked. I just wanted them to plug the line to Fireplace where the leak was detected. This was under the house in a narrow crawl space. These guys got it done, quick, fast, without over-selling. With both Nestor and Aaron, I had the feeling of someone I can trust.

Dawn J.

5/30/2017

These guys are awesome I had two plumbers out one that was here for literally 2 hours both separate company's said oh we can't get it maybe you have a broken line mind you it was a clogged bath tub I called up Aaron they showed up on time and I'm not kidding you the dude was here for 10 min and cleared the line yes thank you Jesus I highly recommend these guys and we will be using them on our coming up projects !

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Aaron and his team! Our entire home had to be repiped due to faulty pex piping. The first time we had a pipe burst, we cleaned the flooding,had it patched, and called it a day. Within a year, it happened again, but worse. This time, we called in multiple professionals to get assessments and quotes. Aaron, by far, gave us the best first impression. Without even hearing his estimate, my husband and I agreed that we liked him most; he seemed to understand us best and was definitely the most open and honest. He quickly provided us a written estimate via email, we accepted, and he and Nestor (1 & 2) got to work. The entire team was professional and polite, and understanding of our pets. They kept the inevitable mess to a minimum and cleaned up after themselves daily. Aaron was so very patient with my daily game of 20 questions! My mother-in-law was present every morning to let them in our house and she thought highly of them, too. The work was finished quickly and accurately, with minimal delays. (Thank you, Aaron, for helping us fix all piping issues! You and your team were fantastic! You're our go-to now!)

I have used California Plumbing on a number of jobs including retail, ground-up multifamily, and residential. Their ability to accomplish the task at hand, along with there attention to detail, professionalism, and competitive pricing is what sets them apart from the rest. Aaron Hall is an intelligent business owner that understands the importance of honesty and integrity. Great company all around.

I had a plumbing issue while I was away from home and called California Plumbing for help with the issue. They showed up within two hours of the call and fixed the problem in no time. Very reliable service at a reasonable price. I have used them twice and will continue to use them in the future.

Brad M.

08/12/2017 12:00:00 SA

These guys are consummate professionals. Had a gas leak at the house and after the city shut it off (and said good luck)Aaron and his crew were there within hours. They took care of everything. Permits, scheduling inspections, calling SDGE to get the gas back on, everything. Nestor and Jaime were friendly and well versed in all aspects plumbing. These guys are my new plumber.

Added bonus: clean trucks, clean uniforms, extra careful to keep a clean worksite.

My tenant at my business property in Imperial Beach called to say the sprinkling system was not working correctly and water was just barely coming out and then it just ran into the street. My gardener could not figure it out and said maybe it was a water company problem. The water company came out and said I needed a plumber so I called a highly rated one in Imperial Beach. They came and said they could not fix it. It was some sort of a valve problem and suggested I call someone else. I looked on Yelp and chose California Plumbing. I sent them a text, they responded quickly and said they could come the next day. My gardener could only meet them at a certain time. I texted them again and they said no problem. Hector showed up early, pointed out the problem to the gardener, told him what to and did not charge!! I will certainly use them for any further plumbing issues ! I have been telling all my friends how prompt, courteous, friendly and knowledgeable they were. Thanks California Plumbing. You're the best ! Rose

Dan S.

02/12/2017 12:00:00 SA

They installed a new toilet and faucet for us, they couldn't find the water shut off valve but worked through the problem and finished the job.

If you are in need of a great plumber, than give California Plumbing a call. Aaron and his crew are the best plumbing group I have ever come into contact with. He really puts customer service and customer satisfaction as a top priority which is hard to find in Companies now a days. Their response time is quick, they show up when they say they will, and they are very knowledgeable in their line of work. I was adding a addition to my home and moving my whole kitchen and my drain was going to be below my existing drain pipe in my island. Aaron and his crew worked hard and solved the problem that needed to be done. He showed up when it was time for the city inspection to make sure all was good. There is no doubt in my mind that if a plumbing issue comes up I will only be calling California Plumbing. Best service, best price. Thank you Aaron and your whole staff who helped on my project!

05/06/2016 12:00:00 SA

Can't ask for a more professional experience, starting with response time to a non urgent issue . Benji was patient with my lack of knowledge and help walk me through what exactly my plumbing problems were, And he was able to fix them in a timely fashion also informing me what I can do in the future to stop them from reoccurring. I need to add some more equipment to my house in the near future and I now have a plumber saved in my phone no more needing to look up anything on the Internet on yelp thank you California plumbing

Jessica V.

3/29/2016

We tried to replace a leaking shutoff valve under the sink and found out we were in over our heads. Benji got here in *under half an hour,* meaning we were able to get the work done right away without scheduling a second water shutoff with the water company. He used the parts we had already bought and took the time to explain what he'd done. We've now gotten the water turned back on, and the valves are holding perfectly (unlike when we tried to do the work ourselves, which caused hissing, bubbling, and dripping in the valves.) The price was fair in general and was fantastic if you consider that they came on such short notice. Thank you! We're so happy to have this done with.

Kevin G.

05/02/2017 12:00:00 SA

Fast and efficient! These guys called to tell me they could even come SOONER than expected. In and out in under an hour with a full toilet re-set and seal.

10/16/2018

Hard working! Quick, inexpensive, reliable work! Aaron Hall and his workers are very professional and expeditious. He came out the same day and quickly fixed my water leak! Poor Aaron had to crawl under our dusty house, but did it with a smile and a thank you. Good Old fashion service. His company is Grade A American made!

So glad I found California Plumbing! In the past we've used friends of friends or having worked for a contractor in the past, called plumbers I had used on other jobs. Unfortunately, I was never completely satisfied with the job. The jobs either took forever (they were fitting me into their schedules because they were doing me a favor) or it was something I could have done myself.

After some flooding in my master bathroom, I gave California Plumbing a call. I had heard about them through a family friend who highly recommended them. And OMG...I'm so glad I listened. They came when they said they were. Gave an accurate estimate. They did the job fast, efficiently, and were very clean and professional! Having an older home always worries me a little, but their professionalism kept me assured that the job would be done right.

Thank you Aaron!

These guys could not have been more awesome. I booked an 8-10 am window on line late last night. They called me at 7:30 am when they opened to confirm, were here at 8:10, and were gone at 8:40 with my problem resolved. Both the office and the plumber were friendly and professional. I highly recommend!

3/17/2019

Team did a great job replacing my irrigation drain pipes clogged with tree roots, installing new main water valve and new water softner/filtration system. Liked most the great communication and being flexible with my busy work schedule. Will definitely use them again in the future.

1/18/2018

I needed a gas line installed for my laundry room. These guys were great. Showed up on time, gave a clear description of what needed to be done and an accurate quote. Once the work started they were efficient and thorough. The total at the end of the job was exactly the same as what they quoted at the beginning. No creep!! Thanks for getting the job done and making the process easy!

The best friendly service you can get from a company. These guys set the bar!!!! They are very thorough with their work leaving me with piece of mind. The guys over at California plumbing will will leave you with a top of the market product at an economic price. 1000% recommend!!!

Jaime came out and did a fantastic job replacing our water heater. Took great care and was amazingly thorough. This outfit knows their stuff and has great people doing excellent work. They were very responsive when we called- Aaron referred Jaime over the morning of the next day after we called late in the afternoon. Nothing but praise.

Laura B.

You guys... USE THESE PLUMBERS!!!
I have a crazy money pit house story and have had at least 6 different plumbers come out to my house mostly sent by Home Warranty companies. Aaron and his hero of a crew were recommended by a friend and I am SOOOOO happy I made the call to have them come out and test my drains after the warranty company's plumber found and fixed the leaks. They are diligent, hard workers. They have actually found and fixed a ridiculous number of leaks and have promised not to leave my home until they find them all and complete the repairs. I have such confidence that when they are done I can put the walls back up without any more water in my walls! They have been kind and sensitive of my budget and situation. Aaron even brought a couple big fans out on his weekend to make sure everything got dried out from all the wet work locating all the leaks! Seriously the best crew of plumbers! Keep up the good work and integrity! Thank you for the help and peace of mind!!!

I had a serious problem. About 8 feet of plumbing snake had broken off in my sewer line. I called another plumber and was told that this problem was WAY beyond them, and that it would take thousands of dollars to resolve it. I called California Plumbers and was given an appointment the next day. The tech came over (on time!) and we discussed the problem. He called Aaron the owner. Aaron arrived and the magic began. They located the broken snake in the sewer main line and we began to try to get it out. Despite 90+ degree heat and an EXTENSIVE amount of work, the two were able to extract the snake by the end of the day. Aaron returned the next morning to finish the job.
I would whole-heartedly recommend this company for any plumbing needs you may have. The are honest, reasonably priced and a real pleasure with whom to do business. They are without a doubt the plumbers I will call with whatever issues I may have. I suggest you do the same. It's my sincere pleasure to give them a 5 star rating, and my own personal thanks for their service.

Brad K.

1/26/2018

Such great customer service. Wife was not happy with 1 item that we had done for our Reno. And even though I signed off, when my wife came home, she wasn't happy. None of that matters to Aaron and his team. They wanted me to be happy. And they came back, without question, and fixed the issue, no extra charge. I will reuse them again, for sure.

Meagan M.

12/22/2017

Awesome people! Had an emergency situation days before Chrostmas with no toliets/showers etc and short on funds. Jaime- a very knowledgeable plumber- came out and tried to snake but couldnt get the clog out. Jaime came back out the very next day with water spraying machine and cleared the clog and saved us a ton of money!! Rachel, in the office, was also amazing and even dealt with me while i panicked on the phone after the 1st day. California plumbing has my business from now on and I will tell my friends all about them. They will work hard to help you. Great group of people! They were our Christmas Miracle!

Jen S.

California Plumbing is a great plumbing company. The owner Aaron provides great service, friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. We noticed that the two sings in our master bathroom were leaking from underneath. Seeing as my husband and I both work full-time jobs and have kids - we didn't make it priority. I finally realized that the problem was out of control and needed help. Aaron was referred to me by one of my best friends. He was super responsive and very well priced. Before he came out to our house, he diagnosed our problem over the phone and told us to buy two new faucets. He came to our house the following day, fixed the faucets and was done in less than 15 minutes. If you have minor or serious plumbing issues - I highly recommend Aaron. He is very knowledgeable and professional and will get the job done. So great to know that we have a trusted team at California Plumbing to take care of our plumbing needs moving forward. Thanks, Aaron!

My landlord has used California Plumbing for many years. I could not be more pleased with their work... whether it is a small adjustment or a major repair/replacement. Aaron and his staff are knowledgeable, prompt and courteous. They point out issues we may not even have been aware of. Special kudos to employee Nestor!

I recently needed to have the dripping faucet in the kitchen and a dripping outside outlet fixed. I called California Plumbing, described my problem, received some idea what it might cost, and arranged service appointment. The plumber showed up promptly on time.I showed him the faucet and dripping outside outlet. He said he could repair the kitchen faucet, but because they were an older Ghroe model, he had to get a type of cartridge not in his stock. He called and ordered the cartridges and said he would return next day to install. When he started repairing my outside outlet, he also tested water pressure, as the regulator is at that location. He determined I had very high water pressure, which would explain some minor plumbing issues we noticed occasionally. The regulator was at least ten years old, so he advised replacing it. Told me what it would cost, and I said OK. Job completed that day in short period of time. Next day, he arrived on time (perhaps a little early), and installed the new cartridges, and everything was complete. The plumber, whose name I do not recall, was extremely professional, polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. He did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. I can see the improvement in my running water as a result of the new regulator. Thanks to the plumber from California Pluming.

Great plumbing. Professional and fit me in with two days notice. They didn't charge me a fee for coming out and only charged me with the work they did.

Robert S.

Called and got a quote, quick and efficient service. He had to dig up a septic tank that was eroded and had to replace it with a new tank. A job that should've taken at least a week was done in two days. All around great service.

California Plumbing fantastic work and very professional. I had an emergency leak and they were able to come within an hour to fix it. Benjamin explained the scope of work, labor costs, parts cost and obtained approval to begin the work. After completion he had me inspect the job to make sure I was satisfied with the service. Excellent work and it is nice to find a plumber that cares about the quality of service. I would definitely recommend to anybody that needs a plumber.

Mark F.

As part of a major renovation in 2008 Aaron did an extensive plumbing upgrade on our condo. His work was really fabulous; it was amazing how he made a difficult plumbing job in a very small place look great. A small area is difficult to work and Aaron really did a great job at the Condo.
In 2008 we bought some rentals in Long Beach and we decided to repipe and remodel them. We like Aaron a lot so we had him drive-up from San Diego to do the work in Long Beach. On the two units, he installed a tub, fixtures, hot & cold copper and complete drain system. Everything was great and the most cantankerous building inspector even said it was a good job and he found a lot of faults with the electrical and other construction items, but the plumbing sailed through the inspection.
Over the next few years we bought several more rental units in Long Beach and Imperial Beach and in each case we had Aaron come and do some major plumbing upgrades. At different times I have had to hire him to replace 4 water heaters, toilets, shower valves and a few other things. Aaron is very neat and very personable so it is easy to send him to a tenant's house and they all like his work and his most pleasant personality.
Over the years we have recommended him to people at work and friends; everyone is most satisfied with his work. If you hire Aaron you will be most satisfied with him.

I am certainly lagging on writing reviews on Aaron and his staff at California Plumbing, in fact I should have written 6 years worth of reviews. Being this is my first I give a collective account of my experiences. His quality of customer service has exceeded my expectations numerous times. In the past he has been out of the country and has answered my calls to put me at ease and get me help. I own 2 businesses and am a home owner. Aaron has been there for all my new construction along with ongoing repairs and remodels. He is upfront with his pricing, rest assure you will not be blind sided as with other contractors. Last week he installed a tank less water heater in my home and has been back to check on his work and my satisfaction. Aaron comes from a family of plumbers. He has worked along side of his father who also is a plumber and building inspector since her could hold a wrench. There is no job too small or too big that Aaron wouldn't be the first person I'd call.

Aaron was recommended to us by our real estate agent since we needed plumbing work done on our new home. We only had a few days to get our plumbing work finished before we had to move in. Aaron took time out of his busy schedule to accommodate us, thank goodness! He was right on time in the morning and worked efficiently. He was doing his best to finish thoroughly, as well as, being cost efficient with his hours. Aaron helped me find a local plumbing supply and got a huge discount on our materials. He also brought another excellent worker along so that both men could be working and/or purchasing the needed materials without any work time being wasted. We also called Aaron back the following week after we discovered our laundry was not working properly after we hooked up our washer and drier. Once again he made an effort in between jobs to come to our new home and make sure we were taken care of. Aaron is young and strong and been around the plumbing business his entire life. My husband and I could tell that Aaron knew what he was doing and did it well. We couldn't have been more pleased with his expertise and his service. We will no doubt be calling Aaron for our plumbing needs in the future, if we have any. Right now we feel so secure and happy in our new home and know that the plumbing is working perfectly. Thanks Aaron for making our new home such a great experience for us and for coming out to fix all of our needs in Lakeside even though you traveled all of the way up from Imperial Beach, you rock! Thanks again!
