Plumbing SD

I can't say enough good words about Eddie Caraza, owner of Plumbing SD.  He's perhaps the most professional and thorough contractor I have ever hired... and I've hired a lot of contractors!  He's all about the quality of his work and while on the job, he'll point out plumbing, gas, and piping issues that will become bigger issues in the future if not addressed at some point.  
I had a rental that had gas pipe leaks and SDGE shut off the gas and locked the meter.  I called an unscrupulous plumber and he said that it's like playing whack a mole trying to find a leak and that I should replace everything to the tune of thousands.  He replaced one small section of gas pipe without my go ahead, and charged me an outrageous amount for doing so.  Inspector came back, tested the meter pressure and it failed.  Nothing but a waste of money for another flop.

Luckily for me, I didn't hire that ripoff plumber ever again.  Instead, I found Eddie Caraza through a friend and and asked Eddie to check out the gas line problem so I could have the meter inspected and turned on again. Bear in mind, I'm 3000 miles away and not there to supervise or see the work.  Eddie went to the house and assessed the situation, then called and texted me photos of the problems.  Within, fifteen minutes, I had a professional estimate hat was extremely fair in price.  He not only found and replaced all the bad joints and gas lines, but also noticed the sewer pipes to the house were the wrong size and not to code.  He asked if we'd had sewer backup issues and I said there were many backups, so he offered to replace those sewage pipes at a nominal fee, so that we wouldn't keep having backups.  Not only did he do a beautiful job replacing dangerously bad gas lines, but he also stopped the sewage backup issues at the house.  I really appreciated that gesture and haven't had any problems since he was there.  

Eddie not only will fix a problem and do the job right the first time, but he's always on time, incredibly polite, and he's come to my aide many times, even for last minute calls.  I can count on him to take care of an issue, even if I'm out of the country.  He's always been reliable and a genuinely nice guy that takes care of of the headaches so you don't have to worry.

If you want someone to fix a gas problem, whether it's the meter, heating system, a leak, installing a gas appliance or a hot water tank, Eddie's your man!   As much as I don't want to have to wait in line because my review helped land Eddie lots of  new customers, I'm always happy to share contractors who are truly the real deal.  You don't get any better than Plumbing SD!

Eddie Caraza is very Professional and does Quality Work! Correctly diagnosed a problem with my home's water pressure and replaced the water pressure regulator.  Pricing is fair and reasonable. Very punctual! Highly recommend!

Had problem with leaking toilet that was not properly installed previously. Eddie came on time was knowable and efficient and corrected the situation. He came highly recommended and I was not disappointed. I feel that I have found a good plumber for future problems. Ron aka Irwin

Awesome! On time. On budget. Quality work. I would recommend to all.

My son and his wife rent a house from us in CV. They complained that the water pressure in their showers was extremely low. Eddie, dressed in mask and gloves (Covid-19 precautions) showed up and determined quickly that the lines were full of calcium buildup (thanks to San Diego water.) He flushed the lines and restored the water pressure to the delight of my daughter-in-law. He did so at a reasonable price. We will keep his number on our iPhone for future needs.

Return customer.  Prompt arrival and efficient quality repair.  Customer service orientated.  Creative solutions offered.  Eddie is great!

Eddie is awesome. He has installed many things at my home. Most recently I had a hair pin leak in the attic over my dinning room table. I called Eddie that morning and he came out that afternoon, located the leak and patched it.

I will continue to use Plumbing SD. I've always had a great experience.

I had Eddie come out to trench and install a gas line for my firepit as well as replace a broken garbage disposal. Initially the experience with Eddie was great - good communication, fair pricing, respectful, and kind.  Gas line work seem good, no problems that I know of thus far.

Garbage disposal is a different story.  First of all, he was supposed to install a 3/4HP, but installed a 1/2HP instead.  However, he did lower the price to compensate the difference in materials.  A few weeks later I noticed a foul smell and realized it had been leaking and fortunately it was contained in a cabinet liner (I highly recommend everyone having one).  Here's where it went bad - I contacted Eddie multiple times with texts, calls, and pictures explaining the issue.  Absolutely no response at all.  I started to realize he didn't want to accept the responsibility because we did a 'no receipt' transaction.  I even tried to probe suggestions on how to fix it myself, no response.

I had to eventually uninstall it and reinstall it and no leaks after.

So caution to everyone - this plumber created a leak, then tried to hide and run away.  I hope the gas line he installed doesn't leak.  Why 2 stars instead of 1?  Because he was the cheapest bid and easy to work with, but you get what you pay for...

Eddie, owner of Plumbing SD, earns his FIVE STARS--fair and squared.   Our neighbor, Don of Shephard Construction, recommended Eddie for repairing our broken sewer line.  Like most homeowners, we obtained several quotes and his was the lowest.  However, this was not the main reason why we chose to work with him.  Our initial instinct was to go with the BIG NAME like Bill Howe Plumbing because we've had good experience with them in the past.  However, Bill Howe Plumbing could not give us a quote based on video images of the broken sewer line because a different company took them.  Bill Howe Plumbing said that it needed to snake its own camera down the sewer line before it could give us a quote--the cost for these new images would be another $350.  Eddie gave us the quote based on the images that we had already paid for.  He is very professional, knowledgeable and respectful of our time.  He clarifies up front of potential, unforeseen problems such as permit requirement/fees and the depth of sewer line--and how much more it would cost should we encounter them as he digs.  He starts and finishes his job time.  He kept us well informed every step of the way from start to finish.  He listens and takes care of our concern to cover up the hole (while waiting for the inspector) with plywood in addition to the yellow caution tape.  He took photos and stated his professional opinion of what caused the problem.  He cleanses up well after he finishes the job.  He gave all the receipts and photos for our record.  We will definitely use his service again.  Michelle & Sunny & Sam
