Rick Happy Plumber

Rick the happy plumber has always been available when we were in a pinch. Excellent customer service and we have always been able to have same-day service. Highly recommend

I saw Rick's Happy Plumber recommended by some of my neighbors, and decided to give them a try. I had them come out to install a new garbage disposal and snake my kitchen drain. They were in and out within an hour and a half. My only issue was the young guy (didn't catch his name) forgot to close my side backyard gate after assisting snaking the drain from outside. Leaving it wide open. I had put my dog outside after they left so luckily I caught it in time, or my dog would've took off.

These plumbers are friendly, helpful, and efficient. They arrive on time and do a beautiful job cleaning up afterwards. They explain what they're doing and get right to it. And the owner, Rick... he really lives up to the company name. We definitely recommend them.

The best.... time and time again. Honest, clean, hard working and men of their word. Can't say enough about these guys.... use them if you need the problem fixed right and if you value good work, professionalism
And friendliness!

Our house is a 1931 historic home in Santa Ana. We've been here 3 yrs & often had problem with the cloging in the bottom bathroom. Water rise up from the bathtub & toilet if we use the shower upstairs. Talking about sewage in our bathtub in days.
After using several plumbers, we found Rick through a friend's referral. We have been using 2 services from Rick's company within 2 yrs. Always happy with their services, fast & reliable even on weekend.

This time, we called Rick's Happy Plumber & requested to have a camera to inspect the problem. Art & another plumber came out, both worked on our house for 2 hrs. They put the snake down & camera but could not clear the line & the camera got stuck & would not go further at certain point. They did not charge us anything due to the problem was not fixed. Amazing!!

Art suggested for us to call the city to check on the main line and if that doesn't work then call them back to install a 4 clean out.
We called the city of Santa Ana, they came out the next day. Cityinspector put their big camera down & confirmed there were issues with the main line. Within 3 days, workers tear up half the street, put in new pipes and install a clean out on our sidewalk. No cost to us at all. We feel so blessed since it turned out to be a huge job and all  done by the city. So thankful for Art's advice. This could be a nightmare of this homeowner & would cost in the thousands or more.

Thank you Art & the other gentleman for your hard work & integrity. Rick's plumber would be our plumber for life and we'll recommend them to everyone.

Happy I called them. Marco and Jason came out and were able to fix the leak under my sink and replace my faucet.  They were honest and efficient. Will use them again.

Art was very professional and knowledgeable helping us with out leaky faucet handles and dishwasher  clog. Would definitely use this company again because of Art's expertise!

I had some odd leaking/moisture under the kitchen sink and could not identify the source. I called the Happy Plumber and Art arrived with his padowan/apprentice and they investigated thoroughly. I was impressed by the professionalism and the diligence. It turned out that it was not a direct plumbing issue, and Art pointed out that the job could actually be done by a handyman and there was no need for their services. I am thankful for their help and honesty!

I had a leak in an upstairs shower that leaked into my downstairs ceiling.  My home warranty sent a plumber who gave me a quote for 2 hrs labor plus parts for $2600.  I decided to get a second opinion.

Rick was recommended to me by some friends that own a cabinet shop.  Ricks guys came out and gave me a quote for 2 hrs of labor plus parts for $400.  WHAT????  As it was late in the day and the leak was not an emergency.  I asked the guys to come back the next day and do the work.

They showed up on time, did the work, cleaned up all the mess, then showed me what they had done, and explained that if there were any issues to just give them a call back.

I have since used Rick's service a couple more times.  Everyone that I have dealt with has been professional, upfront and honest.  All that and they are very responsibly priced.

I highly recommend these guys!

Needed a hot water heater replaced.  Called Rick. Hugo came out this afternoon.  He was very efficient and had the job done in no time.  This is the second time I have called Rick for a plumbing job.  They have always done a great job.  No one else I will call with plumbing issues.

A long over due review, but well worth the time.  These guys did a great with a simple and quick job for the right and fair price.  I highly recommend them whether its a small or big project, they are honest, professional and the best price for the work.  Well done Gabriel and Byron, you represent Rick the Happy Plumber well...

Art is simply the best!! Luv luv luv him for his expertise, honesty and no nonsense attitude. He is a reliable plumber that diagnoses the problem, does the work you need, and charges you a good price for the work. He will suggest, but no pressure and no upsell. That's such a rare thing to find these days. Call them and you'll have your plumbing issues solved!

Had a clogged up sink & Rick the Happy Plumber sent out a very skilled and polite young man. He cleared clogged, cleaned up behind himself. Great Job!! We have been through many plumbers, and this is one we will defiantly call again! Thanks Rick the Happy Plumber & JR. the young man who was here to service us.

I'm a Realtor in Corona del Mar/Newport Beach and use them all the time.  I can always count on them to save the day, they do great and reasonable work and I always know I can count on them.  They do the job right, recommend cost saving measures, and are honest.  Highly recommended!!

I had a serious problem that needed to be addressed immediately. I didn't know about Rick the happy Plumber I only found out about him after another company showed up and try to charge me at least three times the original price quoted. I then called a plumbing supply house I've done business with for years and they gave me Rick's phone number. And I'm so glad they did.
the young man they sent out addressed the issue, went above and beyond to fix the problem and did not try to overcharge me and scare me into spending more money which is greatly appreciated!! Rick is now in my contact list!!

Professional, polite, prompt, very clean. Reasonable prices. Good follow up when needed.

In the beginning ,Rick the happy plumber was recommended by BJ. Plumber in garden grove,Ca in 2000 when I ask for plumbing service.I have been using them ever since. And I come to experience through the years that they are dependable and charge fairly and most importantly always do a wonderful and excellent job. Recently, I called and told them my water heater broke in my rental house in Cypress. Art called me an hour later and offered to buy the part on his own that day instead of waiting for my warranty part to come .So my tenant can have hot water the next day. This is one of the best service I ever experience in my life. Thank you !
         I highly recommend anybody who need plumbing service to use Rick the happy plumber .I also want to thank Rick, Derrick, Joe for taking care of my plumbing problem through the years and I am really appreciated.

Called them after my Mother recommended.  Timely and professional service and can't thank them enough for their expediency.   Price was awesome and fair.  Would use them again!  One of the best experiences ever!

Art, the other Happy Plumber, came out to fix a shower that would not produce water.  Turned out the shower head was clogged.  (my bad for not checking!)  Art fixed the problem and since they were in the area did not charge me.  It is so good to know there are still kind and caring people in business.  I will definitely call them again and let my friends know that this is a great company!  Thanks, Art!

I love this company. We've used them for the last 9 years for all of our plumbing  needs. They are reasonably priced, friendly and professional.

These guys are honest, hard working, and very nice.  They came to my elderly mom's house to  install a kitchen faucet after another plumber tried to rip her off (trying to charge nearly $400 and aggressively pressured her to agree to the job and pay for the upsells that they claimed were required -his estimate and story changed as soon as my mom signed the permission to start work agreement - suddenly there were all these things that he magically saw that he didn't seem to see moments before my mom signed the agreement -  like a brass coupler from 3/8 to 1/2 inch for $50!!! or some valve for $135 - this was Orange Coast Plumbing - In my opinion, avoid Orange Coast Plumbing at all cost).  I told them (Orange Coast Plumbing) that we would be happy to pay the nearly $400 bill and let him do everything that he claimed was necessary - but that as soon as he left, I would post the most detailed review with itemized invoices and pictures of the work so people could make their own judgements if they were ripping my mom off or if they did a good job at a reasonable price - the guy called his supervisor and told him what I said - and his supervisor told him to leave immediately and not charge us anything as if we never came over - this never happened.  That pretty much made it clear what kind of game these guys are playing.

On the opposite end of the spectrum is Rick - Rick's is a family affair - Arturo (I think he was one of Rick's sons or brothers?) came with Rick's grandson who was on winter break from college.  They showed up after Orange Coast left.  They looked at the sink and the faucet and laughed, saying that it shouldn't cost nearly that much (the $50 brass coupler actually costs about 5 bucks and the $135 valve thing cost $18!)  All told, they did a great, quality job and charged my mom a fraction of what Orange Coast Plumbing said it would cost.

Will definitely be hiring again without hesitation for any future plumbing needs.

These guys are the best. Affordable, professional, friendly, and super honest.

We've used them three or four times for drain snaking, clog busting and hot water repair, and are permanent customers.

They show up on time, friendly, and professional work. We have been using this company for since 2005. Art is usually the one that comes to our house and we are very happy with the prices and service.

Highly recommend this company!

I recently had my first dishwasher installed after owning my home 24 years.  It's about 2 weeks old now.

I discovered a leak under my sink and thought maybe there's a problem with the installation of the new dishwasher.

The Happy Plumber Team (Hugo and Leo) diagnosed the problem in minutes (garbage disposal died) and while Leo removed the old one, Hugo drove to buy the new one.  They had it installed in no time.

I can now resume my updates without worrying about where the water was coming from.

Thanks again, Hugo and Leo!

*****  (Five Stars)

nice work I would call him back i checked alot of other plumbing company he was the cheapest!

Family has been working with Rick the Happy Plumber for years and have always had good experiences

We are so happy with the service we received from Rick Happy Plumber.  Marco came and serviced our tankless water heater.  He was friendly, efficient and so helpful.  We have been living with very low water pressure for years!!! Marco investigated and made a time to come back to replace the cartridge in our shower. We finally have our water pressure back and no more cold showers.  Sometime you don't realize what a luxury your water pressure is!!! if you're looking for honest people who do a wonderful job, give Rick Happy Plumber a call! Thank you to Marco and Rick!

Rick the Happy Plumber has done work on our house and my in-laws.  They are very trustworthy and have always done a great job.  He is our go to plumber.

Art just finished cleaning out a stopped bathtub drain. Now only were the rates VERY reasonable, but he was very thorough in explaining where the problem was. I plan to keep his card handy for my other plumbing needs.

This is a long overdue review for Rick and his
team of plumbers. We interviewed 3 companies
Rick got back to us as soon as possible to set a time for our
quote and repairs. They are the best, on time, return calls
explain the entire process, plus, try to help you find the best solution.
They are busy, because they are so good.
Very happy with this company!

Rick has been my plumber for over 15 years. His brother Art does most of the work when he comes out and is very skilled in very friendly. Ricks prices are fair and the work is amazing.

A friend of mine recommended Rick the Happy Plumber.
I think they were affordable, clean and fast. I loved their service. I honestly searched for an affordable plumber that fit my budget and found them thanks to my friend. Very thankful because they were finished in a short amount of time due to the service I called them for.
The main line broke and in no time it was back and running. Oh and they didn't have to break the cement they did it all under it which was a pocket saver otherwise I was looking at maybe $3,000.00 bucks to spend.
Thanks so Much Rick the Happy Plumber =)

These guys are awesome! I've used them numerous times for everything from a plugged drain to a warranty water heater repair and everything in between, never been disappointed. They are always prompt, knowledgeable, fast, and very friendly. I highly recommend them.

Art and his assistant arrived on time and they were very pleasant.  The job went well, and ended up being a little beyond what I had described when I booked the appointment, but it was no problem for this team.  Work was well done and price was very reasonable.  I would not hesitate to book them again for plumbing jobs.

They are amazing! Honest and hard-working: Hugo & Albert the super duo! Finally found and fixed our gas leak!

We recently moved and over the course of 2.5 months have been hit hard with the gas bill. It was like $70 for the first half of the month then creeped up to $100 then finally $110. I was SO mad. At the old house one city over our monthly bill was never over $30! It's just me and my husband and we hardly ever use anything that would eat up so much gas.

Called the gas company & they came out 3 times!!! They could not find the leak. Had two other technicians (family/referral) but they could still not find the leak! My husband was soooo stressed out he lost sleep over this issue for weeks. There has to be a gas leak somewhere.

He found these guys through Yelp I believe and they came out for two days. They were extremely thorough and finally found out where the leak was coming from. Underneath our house! They crawled into the dark small crawl foundation space and worked for hours. It was so brutal-dark, tight, & stuffy. Inspected our whole house and yard. Fixed the issue at a fraction of the cost compared to other places where my husband quoted. One of the guys even showed my husband how to use the BBQ area in which we thought was broken. Helped us troubleshoot so many issues with this darn house.

We felt so blessed to come across these guys! They are LEGIT!!! We can't thank them enough! They are so friendly and professional too.

We had a small leak in our manifold out front. I called and set up an appointment.  They were punctual and did a great job at a reasonable price. They were polite and thorough, explaining what they would do. They cleaned up the area and I feel confident with their work.
I will definitely use again!

Great service.  Came out the same day.  Very reasonable price. We had a clogged shower drain and they came over and took care of the problem.

Yes..another 5 star review! Now I know why they only get 5 star reviews..they are considerate, punctual, do good work, and clean up afterwords. Manuel did great work and was very understanding and kind. Great prices and good workers..we'll be using them again!

Today was the second time I have had plumbing work done by Art. He has replaced my garbage disposal and toilet in the past and today he fixed my leaking shower. I cannot  express enough how happy I am with his work and because my father was a plumber having him come make repairs for me reminds me of my Dad and he is just like family because I watch him just like I used to watch my Dad as a child.
Art is such a nice man and answers all my questions while he is working and explains everything that he is doing and why.
I would definitely recommend this company to everyone!!

I was referred to Rick the Happy Plumber by a neighbor that had been using him for years, and have been using this company since 2004/5.

Art was the one that come to our place, and I continue to use this company to this day. Honest, affordable, and they do a great job. I have moved to another location in Orange, and still I call this company to do all my plumbing.

Highly recommend.

Always reliable.  Been using them for over 20 years.  Fair pricing, dependable service.

Installed a new dishwasher but failed to connect drain line properly and kitchen floor flooded over night damaging wood finish.  Wouldn't provide insurance information for floor damage.  Same thing happened to a neighbor.

I had to help my mom in Orange County remotely get a plumber to fix her noisy garbage disposal. Rick was a pleasure to work with and the guys who came out and installed a new garbage disposal were great guys and really good according to my mom. She's very happy with their work. The price charged was very fair. No wonder they have so many 5-star reviews. We will use them again!

I have used Rick the Happy Plumber twice now and have been extremely impressed with their work. The first job was to clear the main sewer line out of roots. I called late in the day, around 3:45. Rick had his team to my house by 5PM, very quick. The team, led by Angel, was professional, clean and pleasant. They listened to me about the problem, since this is a regular problem for me, and quickly assessed the situation based on my observations, verified that my assumption was correct and had the problem fixed within 20 minutes. The line was cleared and they cleaned up after their work to the point it looked like they had never worked at the site at all. They also explained to me which tree the roots were coming from, since there at many trees near the main, and how often I should have the line cleared based on the amount of roots vs. the last time it was cleared out.

The second visit was today. My water heater was no longer working due to the thermocouple going out. Once again, this is a standard issue in my house since there are many people leaving here and the water heater sees a lot of use. Art was the plumber who responded, and once again, he was friendly, clean and listened carefully to what I was describing. He verified what I said and confirmed my suspicions to be true. Once be began working on the water heater, he found 2 other potential problems, described them thoroughly, and what the future ramifications would be and how to properly fix them so I could work with the landlord to prevent an further issues.

Their prices are FANTASTIC. They are extremely fair and, quite honestly, a little cheap for what you get. These guess are so knowledgeable it is unreal. They are willing to teach you about the repairs, tell you about potential problems you see, and are very friendly.

These are my go to guys. While I still live in Anaheim, I will use no other plumbers. I highly recommend these plumbers to anyone within the response area.

Best plumber ever!  We had a gas leak, and they came out very quickly, found the leak,  and had it fixed that same day. Courteous,  friendly and helpful staff and technicians.  Very fairly priced. I Highly recommend Rick the happy plumber and his team.

Consider the job done with Rick Happy Plumber.  Honest and rofessional
Reasonable price.  Complete the job as they promised.  Don't look any where else.  Rick Happy Plumber is the BEST choice.  Thank you for stress free job.  HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
