Marshall installed a new garbage disposal for me and let me know that I didn't need to buy a 1hp unit (went for 3/4 hp instead). He diagnosed the problem gave me a few hours to buy a new unit, then returned to install it. He also stopped back by afterwards and showed me how to drain out my dishwasher so that I could be sure that the next load would work fine. Nice guy, and efficient.

Clairemont Plumbing restores my hope in dealing with contractors. Marshall is hands down the best in the business! He is knowledgeable, kind-hearted, and always takes care of the issue. We have always enjoyed our interactions with him and today was no different.

We recently moved back to La Jolla after selling our house in Singing Hills. One of the toilets has been draining very slowly. -- plus the flapper valve was closing too soon -- so I knew we needed professional help.

I first reached out to Courtesy Plumbing -- I've had great service from them in the past. It was Thursday (yesterday) and they told me they weren't available until the following Tuesday. That was a no-go for me.

So I checked good old Yelp and found that Clairemont Plumbing Service was local and had great reviews. I called and they told me the plumber could be here the very next day -- Friday. I booked it immediately.

I got a call this morning that Marshall the plumber was on the way, and he arrived about 20 minutes later. So far so good.

Marshall first tried to snake the toilet and discovered that we had roots blocking the toilet drain. He decided to pull the toilet to get a better look and found a HUGE wad of roots curled up under the toilet and going down the drain. Check out those photos!

After wrangling that wad of roots, Marshall put in a new wax seal, reset the toilet, and adjusted the flapper. The toilet now works like a champ.

Long story short, Marshall went way above and beyond what I expected. Great guy. The price was remarkably reasonable too.

I've got a new plumber!

I would give this company 10 stars if I could. Needed bathroom sink and bathtub drains unclogged. Plumber came out when he said he would fixed the problem and charged 10% of what Colepepper plumbing wanted. This is our first time using Clairemont plumbing I'm telling all my friends about them

Sheri M.

10/31/2022

Wow. I called them in the morning about a major (to me) plumbing back-up in my house. Water from my sink was backing up into my bathtub. Marshall was here within probably an hour. His manner is so calm and re-assuring. I knew he could handle it. As he worked, he explained some of the odd plumbing issues in the houses in my development. His knowledge certainly helped get the job done. That you Marshall!

Once again, Marshall and Co. do an excellent job of installing a new water heater. No fuss, no muss, just an easy installation, and incredibly friendly service. Thank you!!!!

My garbage disposal was leaking. I called another company and they said it was installed incorrectly and I needed a new one for $800+.

I called Clairemont Plumbing Service for a second opinion. They were able to schedule me for the same day (YAY) and they fixed my leaky disposal for wayyyyyyyyyyyy less (DOUBLE YAY)!!!!!

Thank you so much Clairemont Plumbing Service for your honesty and speedy service. HIGHLY recommend calling them.

I called Clairemont Plumbing Service because I had a toilet leaking from the base. Carolynn answered the phone and was super helpful. She sent Marshall out the same day and he replaced the wax ring in just 30 minutes or so. The price was very reasonable too. I'll definitely use them again any time I need any kind of plumbing work done.

10/10 highly recommend

Marshall came out immediately and replaced my water heater. Quick and reasonable. You don't see that response and excellent service anymore!

We had a leak in our kitchen sink. Marshall came and fixed it and also unclogged our bathroom sink. Price was very reasonable and I would highly recommend Clairemont Plumbing Service. I am happy to have a reliable plumber!

I'm a big fan of Clairemont Plumbing! Most recently Marshall came out to replace my water heater. He does great work and cleans up after his work. I think this was the 3rd time I've used CP for different plumbing needs. Highly recommend!

John S.

12/20/2020

When you have a large older home, you always have plumbing problems. I asked Marshall to come over and fix two toilets. One had a broken seal on the bottom. The other just never shut off after you flushed it. Because of the virus, Marshall is quite busy. Two days later and my toilets were fixed. My total repair bill was less than $100 all parts and labor included. It's nice to have a good old-fashioned plumber on call when you need it.

James T.

10/12/2020 12:00:00 SA

Loved the work they did. They came ready to work, with a mask, thank you. He took the time to look into the problem. (Unlike the 3 other plumbers that had been out). He ended up pulling a bunch of roots from the drain. Super reasonable price too.

I will be calling Clairemont Plumbing for all future needs (old house.. there will be more.. )!!

Lotus S.

Marshall's come 3 times to my place and every time, he is always so nice and helpful. Will never stop using them for my plumbing needs

First and foremost: THEY ANSWER THEIR PHONE.

You actually get to communicate with a real person.

Marshall arrives on time!! (In this case, I was called to find out if it was alright that he arrived early!! Yes!!)

He arrived. He saw. He fixed. He took less than an hour. He charged only $75 for: installing my brand new disposer, and clearing a bathroom basin drain.

Anyone who knows what it is like to deal with a plumber who never answers phone calls or texts, who promises to call and doesn't, who promises to be at your house between 11 am and 1 pm, who doesn't contact you by 4 pm to say he is caught up on another job site, etc., etc., WILL UNDERSTAND THAT MARSHALL IS GOLD.

Red B.

02/01/2021 12:00:00 SA

Great service at a reasonable price! I called them at 8am and needed one of my toilets replaced. Marshall showed up by 9am and took a look at my broken toilet, went and purchased a replacement and had it installed by 11am same day. I will use Clairemont Plumbing in the future.

Dana P.

12/17/2018

Called this morning around 7 am for a clogged tub. Received a call back around 8 am saying he could come out within the hour. And a gentleman showed up around 845. Super nice guy but couldn't snake the tub so he recommended a different company-Baird's. Didn't charge me for anything since he couldn't solve the issue which I thought was nice. Most companies would probably still try to charge a fee. The other company was able to come out and solve my problem but I admired how respectful and fair this company was.

Liza K.

4/15/2019

Marshall was on time, and super nice. He did a great job fixing my clogged sink and replacing my garbage disposal. He was also very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend him.

Our kitchen & bathroom sink was clogged and would not flow even after 2 hours of me plunging and 20 gallons pouring hot water into it, a lot junk definitely came out but it was stuck down in the main pipe. Decided to make the call this morning and literally in 5 minutes he was knocking at our door and quickly took care of the problem. Highly Recommend Clairemont Plumbing Service

Jeffrey N.

10/04/2016 12:00:00 SA

I was in needed of a plumber since my old plumber flaked out.

Marshall arrived on time, did an amazing job hooking up my new laundry room sink, he even hauled away the old one at no charge.

He even went the extra mile to snake the drain to make sure there were no clogs (there was actually some lint that built up in the drain line)

I definitely would recommend Marshall and Clairemont Plumbing to anyone, they definitely are my go to plumber from now on.

Jeez! I needed Marshall again. A leak under the sink. Marshall showed up on time, had the part on his truck and replaced a cracked pipe in no time.

Marshall cleaned up thoroughly, smiled when I thanked him, and rode his horse off into the sunset. My work here is done.

Jane G.

05/09/2018 12:00:00 SA

*This* is the guy you want. I have been without a kitchen faucet since Bill Howe Plumbing decided they were too busy to come back and install it like they promised. Marshall is as good as it gets! From my first phone contact, this company is polite and helpful. Marshall did a difficult install and made it look easy. He has serious skills, like a surgeon. He can figure out stuff that other plumbers had not been able to. He installed the faucet and then fixed the garbage disposal at no extra charge! I am so thankful for this company, they are the answer to my prayers.

Manuel C.

1/15/2018

Marshall is definitely the best plumber we have ever known, I don't know why I never thought to leave a review but here it is now. We have been using Clairemont Plumbing for over 9 years and Marshall has not once failed us in the many different problems we have had here. Always on time, checks the issue and lets you know whats needed and If he doesn't have the part will leave to get it and fix the issue.

John K.

09/08/2017 12:00:00 SA

Great experience with Marshall, who was recommended by another plumber. Diagnosed broken faucet (expensive German designer) for no charge, and suggested I call the manufacturer for a replacement part, or that I switch to a more common American brand. Purchased a new Moen on the internet, and Marshall installed it the same day for $75. I'll call Clairemont Plumbing again for next plumbing task.

Susan R.

4/26/2018

I'm so thankful for Clairemont Plumbing Service. Not only did they answer the phone (not always a given based on the number of plumbers we tried), when Marshall was too busy at the moment to help with our emergency repair we were referred to Torben. He arrived within an hour or so and promptly located our leak. His repair was efficient, and his advice was outstanding. Not only did he repair the current leak, he correctly diagnosed a faulty pipe and then returned to complete our replacement, which was a guaranteed eventual pipe fail. Efficient, professional, personable, and cost effective. You won't be sorry if you call these people.

E M C.

7/25/2017

Had a backed up kitchen sink and was desperate as it had gotten worse. Called in and the receptionist/assistant said she would call me right back to see if Marshall could get to my house. Not long after received a return call that he was coming over. Marshall came over, fixed our sink (yay) and was reasonably priced. Even showed me a trick to help with the grease back up that we had a problem with. Would highly recommend.

Michael T.

I've used Marshall for nearly 20 years and he is the best plumber I have ever worked with. He meets his appointment commitments, does excellent work, and charges fair prices.

A tenant at a rental property I managed called shortly after Christmas about a plumbing problem related to the garbage disposal. I called the plumber I normally use, but he was very busy, and couldn't get around to service call for a while. I gave Clairemont Plumbing a call, and Carolynn said that they were busy as well. (I guess the plumbing problems go up during the holidays.) Still, she and Marshall were able to take care of the problem while working around the tenant's work schedule. Marshall came out that day when the tenant got off of work and replaced the garbage disposal.

Even though I had never used Clairemont Plumbing before, they were trusting enough to invoice me for the work, and wait for payment. Since we were getting down to the end of the year, I wanted to be invoiced before December 31st, so that the expense could go in for 2014. Even with all the work they had, I got the invoice before the end of the year.

The best part was that despite the time of year and all the schedule juggling Marshall had to do, the cost of the repair was a couple of dollars less than the identical repair a year ago. (Yeah I know, I am going to have to talk to the tenant about what they put in the garbage disposal around Christmas time.)

Ed C.

12/01/2016 12:00:00 SA

Called Clairemont Plumbing at 10 AM and talked with Marshall to come out and fix a leaky pressure regulator valve and leaky spigot. Showed up when he said and took care of everything in about 30 minutes. Marshall is a straight shooter and knows what he's doing. Fixed the leaky spigot for free!! (Didn't have to replace). Nice guy. I highly recommend Clairemont Plumbing. Definitely in my contacts.

I've never done Pilates in my life and my current gym situation was charging me too much for a mundane experience so I was definitely ready for a change. Finding this Pilates studio came right on time! I took my first class last week and I had the best time. The equipment was brand new and the place smelled delightful. The instructor was great with helping me align my body correctly and challenged me at my own pace. I'm really psyched about this place and I encourage everyone to give them a shot. You won't be sorry.

Not sure what just happened. This guy showed up when he said he would, fixed 5 items in less than an hour, explained a couple things about how to avoid needing him by using the shower more sensibly, cleaned up, charged less than what other plumbers charge for just coming to the door, and left. Must have been a prank. But I know plumbers don't do this kind of stuff and it's not even April 1st. Very confused to say the least.

David H.

04/10/2016 12:00:00 SA

Marshall was great, showed up on time, cleared the drain and also fixed trap mistake of previous plumber or do-it-yourselfer - before I bought the house;) - in less than an hour at a great price. Would definitely use Clairemont Plumbing again.

8/29/2014

Amazing! I searched for a plumber in yelp and this company had 5 stars. I see why...

1) they contacted tenant the day I called them;
2) went out twice and only charged for one time;
3) worked the old fashioned way - they took my word I would pay them and didn't even question it.

I wish I had a plumber like this close to me.

Eliahu E.

7/18/2017

It took me a while to find to find him but now that I have I am keeping this number. His quote came in MUCH cheaper then anyone else and then he charged me LESS than his quote. He came on time and answered the phone with a real person and was very polite all in all a great experience.

Shirley D.

8/14/2018

Marshall did a fantastic job for us. He was personable, accommodating, and extremely proficient. He was able to fix everything we asked about in a reasonable time frame. His price was fair and modest. Choose Marshall! We are committed for life!

7/24/2015

We called this plumber for the first time, based on Yelp ratings, to fix a shower valve. Those ratings are well justified. First, it was a delight to speak to Carolyn who set up the appointment. She is easy to talk to, smart, knowledgeable and helpful. We got a very prompt appointment even though this was not an emergency.

Marshall showed up on time and found the difficult to locate condo without trouble. He knew exactly how to repair the problem and did it within the $75 minimum. Not only that, but he didn't charge us for the part because it was under a very long manufacturer warranty we didn't even know about. He was friendly, efficient, cleaned everything up and was fun to talk to.

I heartily recommend this plumber. Outstanding! I used to think of a plumber visit with about the same anticipation as a dentist appointment. No more.

After an amazingly frustrating experience contacting a number of highly Yelp-reviewed plumbers, some of whom left me waiting for weeks without return appointments or call backs, I finally struck gold! I placed a call to Clairemont Plumbing yesterday and I must say, I am thoroughly impressed!!! My shower pressure was feeble at best and all of the water was flowing through the tub spout after pushing on the knob to divert the flow. After suffering through the confused and unintelligible explanations from young, inexperienced plumbers who didn't bother to unscrew the shower head, I had tired of waiting weeks for the supposedly required new divertor to arrive from two different plumbers in town. Luckily, after a call to Clairemont Plumbing, Marshall, a plumber with a degree in Wild Life Sciences, and a whole lot of common sense and know-how, arrived at my home within 24 hours of my call and had both of my showers functioning with full water pressure in a matter of ten minutes!!! His fee was extremely reasonable. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him over any of those clowns with 600 5 star recommendations and a bunch of young bumbling idiots working for them!!!!

2/20/2017

A great experience with Marshall. He solved two tricky problems. A slow draining bathtub that I was unable to snake myself, he determined that the snake was going the wrong direction, perhaps due to an incorrectly orientated fitting. And he was able to clear the blockage with some finesse. He also replaced a cartridge in the shower and fixed the unorthodox work from the contractor who remodeled the bathroom. The price was also great both relative to the time he spent and compared with the last plumber I used.

Carla D.

12/01/2017 12:00:00 SA

Called early this morning - had a nonoperational disposal and leak underneath sink....turns out the disposal had seen much better days and one hour later, I am back in business. PS this all happened during a move in and Marshall was here as promised and super pleasant. Thanks so much Clairemont Plumbing!

I highly recommend Marshall and Clairemont Plumbing Service. He has done several jobs for me, including several repairs dealing with leaking or corroded underground pipes that I couldn't have figured out in 100 years. Very knowledgeable and reasonably priced.

Mr C.

07/05/2018 12:00:00 SA

Marshall and Clairemont Plumbing are the best. After an easy phone call to schedule, Marshall arrived as planned, knew immediately from experience what was wrong, and fixed it no trouble. Also cleared the shower drain for me so that I'm not ankle deep anymore. Along with the the plumbing skills, Marshall is a great guy with a good positive vibe that you are happy to have working in your home. Do yourself a favor and give them a call if you need some plumbing help!

Harriet P.

I'm a Real Estate agent and needed to get a few last minute repairs done so my listing would close escrow on time. I called Carolyn for an appointment and she worked to fit me in to their schedule. Marshall the plumber showed up on time and was great to work with. Very nice guy, just as kick back as possible, but definitely knows his stuff. No need to look any further - I will use them whenever I need a plumber.

Marshall and his wife are absolutely Top Noch!
We've used them for 30 years, can't say enough nice things about them.
The best thing I can say is that they are both totally HONEST and prices are REASONABLE and Marshall is highly COMPETENT!

The only other thing you need to know is that Marshall DRESSES WELL. (you dont have to look at any unmentionables as you do with so many other less desirable plumbers!)

Vanessa B.

Danielle M.

2/13/2018

The best service you will ever receive. I had an emergency water heater situation and Marshall made time to pick up a new one and install it the same day I called at half the price of other plumbing services. He was very nice and extremely polite. And, as he was getting ready to leave, he reconnected my dryer exhaust hose that had been installed incorrectly by another company. Clairemont Plumbing service will get all my future business.

Russell P.

10/10/2016 12:00:00 SA

Absolutely first-rate! I had three jobs: a broken garbage disposal; a stopped-up sink; and a leaky hose bib. Marshall immediately diagnosed each problem; explained it clearly; and fixed each one lickety-split. He was fast, thorough, and a complete professional in all ways. Even the lady who makes appointments was wonderful. Their prices are quite reasonable. I used them once before and was just as impressed at that time. You won't do better than with Clairemont Plumbing.

Robert R.

5/31/2016

Marshall is as good as it gets!!! No one better. Has to be the most honest plumber in San Diego. If your lucky enough to get him for your job, you will not regret it. For me, the best service call ever for any service job. Marshall deserves the Best Plumber of San Diego award. Thanks again Marshall!! See you next time.

Dylan P.

03/09/2015 12:00:00 SA

Marshal is a very friendly man. I called at 1130 and he was there at 12 He took the time between calls to come by my house and spent an hour and a half or so fixing my toilet. He did a great job, diagnosed an odd problem and was on his way. Very reasonable cost! only 84 dollars! Will definitely use again

Doc L.

10/06/2014 12:00:00 SA

Twice now Marshall has visited our home to help clear some clogs. Each time, he is friendly and listens carefully to concerns. His services have been delivered responsively and efficiently. He took the time to explain what the cause was and how we can prevent further issues. He never tried to up sell or overcharge either. I would call on him again!

Todd Z.

10/14/2016

Marshall came by on time and was as nice as everyone says. He fixed the first problem lickety- split so i had high hopes after that for the other two. The second was a slow drain, so i hoped he would pull apart the pipes underneath and give it a quick snake. Nope. A piece of wire through the sink's drain hole and he called it a day it on that one. I could have done that. Runs better for now, but I am sure the gunk underneath is still building up and the slowness will be back soon. But ok, whatever. The third one he tried the same thing. Wire in the sink hole. Nothing changed. Tried again. Nothing changed. Then came the excuses: its meant to be slow like that. They sell it that way. I wouldn't buy it. It's all glued together so I can't do anything anyway. I wouldn't take that apart. You'll have to get it cut into pieces and replace everything if you want it to drain faster, but I've never seen a sink like this go faster than this slow speed anyway. etc. Well, no, of course its not meant for the basin to fill with water then drain slowly. It's a nice powder room sink. So, energized by the fact that I know he couldn't be right, I did it myself. Took off the basin (easy) pulled apart the piping below (of course it wasn't glued. also ez) and looked over the simple mechanics and fixed the blockage (ez). Marshall seems to just want to show up, do the least possible, and move on. If that is your deal, then you'll probably be fine. But anything that takes a little more problem-solving? Look elsewhere.

Michael B.

4/29/2014

Marshall is a great plumber. He is easy to reach, enthusiastic and affordable. We are doing a major bathroom remodel, and Marshall provided some instrumental recommendations and guidance as we worked our way from the subfloor, to piping to drains and final dry wall. He's prompt, honest and a genuinely nice guy. I would definitely use him again without hesitation.

Terri D.

05/06/2014 12:00:00 SA

Marshall at Clairemont Plumbing does a great job and in a timely manner. My water heater leaked from rusted out connections and rusted bottom. Called, discussed and he came over with a NEW water heater, installed, hauled away the old one and done. Thank you.

Arrived within time frame given, owner does work himself. Very reasonable service fee, he was polite, very knowledgeable fixed my problem quickly, hes been doing this kind of work for years .
Honest,reliable. I would recommend him if you live in Pacific Beach.

Dave C.

01/05/2015 12:00:00 SA

I called Clairemont Plumbing Service to replace some angle stops and replace a sink faucet. Marshall was on time, the MOST reasonable priced plumber in Pacific Beach. He had everything he needed in the truck. He cleaned up everything under both sinks. This is the first time I used Marshall but if I ever have a plumbing problem, he will be the first I would call. I thanked him, he said, My work here is done, as he rode off into the sunset.

Lilly C.

09/09/2016 12:00:00 SA

Marshall is great. Used him multiple times for different things: clear clogged drain, fix leaky faucet, install double clean out. Very nice, honest, and reasonably priced. Definitely call them first.

Michele L.

4/20/2016

I cannot say enough good things about Clairemont Plumbing and Marshall. I have had two emergencies at my condo in Tierrasanta within the last 2 months. A water heater went out and was leaking and then while trying to replace a faucet the valve broke causing an emergency replacement. In both cases I called Clairemont Plumbing and Marshall came the same day and took care of the issue. Price was very reasonable and they are so professional and nice. I plan to have him do more work for me as preventative maintenance for a change!

Danielle A.

5/31/2011

I called on Friday and they were here within the next business day since it wasn't an emergency. It's only $75 for the first hour, so I had to pay the $75 plus the part. Definitely worth it to get hot water again! Great, friendly, reliable and quick service. I will definitely call Clairemont Plumbing Service when I need help again!! But, I'm hoping it will be awhile...

Dan N.

11/03/2014 12:00:00 SA

Called the plumbing company to come out and look over the whole house that I had just bought. I wanted to make sure everything looked good so I did not have any unexpected problems. I had a scheduled appointment but the guy never showed up. Not even a phone call. I had to end up finding a new company. A couple weeks later I received a phone call wanting to know about the service. I gave the lady an ear full and hung up. I do not even know how they keep their doors open.

While I was using the dishwasher at home, I noticed that the water from the dishwasher was coming up through the sink. I could not finish a complete cycle of dishes before my kitchen sink was filled with murky water. I needed the help of a plumber to fix this problem. I asked some people around town for some good plumbing companies. I was referred to one that offers a one year warranty on all services. That was the best deal to me so I decided to call them. I spoke with a customer service rep, who took down my information. My appointment was scheduled for the next day. The plumber arrived in the morning to see what was the issue with my drainage. He ended up needing to take apart my whole kitchen sink to fix the problem. I payed him for the service ahead of time as I had to step out and run some errands. When I came back home I was outraged. The kitchen was a complete mess. After the plumber put the sink back together, He did not bother to clean anything up. there were boot tracks and all kinds of things on the floor including dirty water. I am fully aware that I did not order a cleaning service. But I have never heard of anything like this before. Everyone beware of this service.

Overall great first experience! Carolyn set up the appointment and was knowledgeable about the likely problem based on my description. She offered me an appointment within the hour which was extremely convenient with my busy schedule. Marshall arrived on time, was very friendly, explained things clearly, and was efficient. He purchased all of the needed parts for me and the cost of parts and labor was reasonable. I highly recommend Clairemont Plumbing!

Wow! Marshall is one the nicest, honest people I've ever met. I had a sump pump in the garage that I thought was shot. Two other plumbers wanted $325-$350 for labor plus $250 for the pump. Marshall came by and told me the pump was fine and they last a long time, all I needed was to replace the check valve...$95 total, parts and labor. Works as new. The only plumber I'll ever use again. Hope he doesn't retire soon. FYI cash or check only.

It doesn't get any easier than this! I finally decided to get my 2nd bathroom sink dealt with since it was now totally plugged up. I called Clairemont Plumbing on Thursday afternoon and asked Carol, the owner's wife, to schedule a service call. Marshall arrived the next morning as planned. Forty-five minutes later the repair was done! If you would like to support the small, local plumber where you deal directly with the actual owner, look no further.

Marshall was referred to me by a friend and I couldn't be happier with his service. He was priced fairly, a super nice guy and, most importantly, extremely competent. He got the job done right and quickly. I'll only use him for my future plumbing needs!

Not sure if this is fair, but based on reviews decided to give the smaller locally owned business a try. Called Saturday and left message. Now it is Monday evening and no response or call back. Don't want to give a bad review, but disappointed lack of service.

I HIGHLY recommend Clairemont Plumbing Service. Marshall and his wife, Carol, provide excellent service that is worthy of 5 stars. I have used Clairemont Plumbing Service twice and they are very professional, honest and experienced. They are also very responsive and will try to help you as soon as they possibly can!

Top quality work done quickly. Marshall is very professional and honest. He responds to messages quickly, shows up on time, works his magic and charges a fair amount without padding hours or work done.

He even was happy to explain everything as he worked (I'm a fledgling DIY-er but over my head on the problem he fixed). He'll be my go-to plumber from here on out.

We had Clairemont Plumbing (Marshall) come out today. We had a lenthly number of things we needed done (fixing leaking toilets & faucets and installing a new kitchen faucet). We were extremely pleased with all the work done and at a reasonable price. We will surely be recommending them to our friends and family. It isn't easy to find a great plumber but we did and we are so happy.

Had Marshall over for the second time to do a hot water heater change. He was very helpful finding the right unit for me and the quality of his work is great. Very, very pleased with service!

Marshall --and his wife Carolyn, who handles the booking and is herself able to advise callers regarding many plumbing problems-- are absolutely a treasure in this world. He is a master of plumbing with a kind personality, who has known Houdini-like genius since childhood. No wonder they call him MacGyver! If you want impeccable work and a heartening human exchange, call Clairemont Plumbing when you need a plumber! It's a privilege to watch him work!

We have used Clairemont Plumbing many times over the past 30 years for both big jobs, (under the house leak) and small jobs. They have always been thorough, helpful, honest, and professional. I look forward to them helping us now with our bathroom toilet, since we started having problems just now over the weekend.

I don't see any reason to use ANY other plumber. The other reviews on here are spot-on. Marshall is quite simply the best.

Plumber just left and i couldn't be happier. At 2 am, a valve to the toilet exploded and began spraying water everywhere. We had to shut off the water to the house. Stressful situation. I began calling places and leaving messages at 7. At 702, I got a call back. Plumber would be in the area and by the house in a few hours. And he was! 10 minutes later the problem was fixed and we got advice for the future. Price was very reasonable. Next time we need help, I am definitely calling Clairemont.

I called Clairemont Plumbing for a clogged sink issue, they were at my home an hour later. Marshall came out and recognized my home from the prior owner. He was prompt and honest and reasonable I will definitely use Clairemont Plumbing again.

Clairemont Plumbing is your best bet for a reliable plumber. Marshall (the owner) has been my plumber for almost 20 years, so I've referred him to dozens and dozens of friends over the years. They all thank me and him. Honest, professional and tirelessly hard-working in a totally old-world style, Marshall is the only plumber I would ever hire.

I needed a plumber right away and Marshall came to the rescue. Polite, efficient, and very reasonable. Should I need someone again, I will be sure to call him. He is #1 with me!

I had these guys show up on time and partly fixed my blogged kitchen sink. The guy that came out was nice. When the issue reappeared within a month, I called to try and get them to come out and fix the problem again, potentially at a reduced rate, they stated that it would be a new job at a full price. I was disappointed with that lack of service and I choose to go somewhere else to fix the problem longterm.

Called with several issues...much to my chagrin, one of them was solved with one swipe of a wrench....much to my joy, that was all that was done; it could have been an expensive visit. All work was done well, good attitude, and cost was quite reasonable.

Best experience ever with a plumber. All about getting the job done without upselling you. I appreciate who you are. Thank you.

I agree with the other reviews. Have used Clairemont plumbing for many years and can't be happier.

After scrambling around for years with different plumbers and never being very satisfied, I found Clairemont Plumbing. The owner does the work with a minimum of fuss and a suitable disregard for upselling. Fixed a noisy toilet and leaky faucet in one hour's time. He checked my water pressure and gave me the option of placing a regulator but said I could easily say no and justify that decision. On time, clean and efficient. I will call again.

Small, local, independent plumber who charged us about 1/2 what a big company had quoted us. Marshall tracked down an obscure problem with our 60s-built house and quickly got it fixed.

I called on a Monday Morning with a plumbing problem that we had over the weekend. The office personel was very helpful and told me what to do until the Plumber could arrive. The Plumber was at my door in less than 30 minutes.
