I can't say enough about how good our experience was. Our only two bathroom sinks decided to back up midday on a Saturday and we were having a social gathering on Sunday. Sal's said they could come out Saturday night. David was our plumber. He looked very professional and got right to work. He fixed the problem and cleared both sinks fairly quickly and then told us what likely repairs would be needed in the future and gave a quote. The work he did was done at an extremely reasonable price. I would highly recommend them!

I had a blockage issue that was causing my showers to not drain, the toilets to overflow and water come out the back of my house. They responded and made it to my house within 30 minutes. One of the fastest responses I've ever seen. They were great. I would use them again.

We are so grateful to Sal's Plumbing and will never use another company again. We had such a nightmare experience with another plumbing company and Sal's was the only company that would come out to fix it. The plumber was extremely fast, skilled, and did an amazing job. Thank you for helping us out in such a bad situation.

Once again Sal's comes through with flying colors. We wanted to change out our old 1980's bathtub faucet for a new updated one, and their estimate was the most reasonable. The work they did was perfection. Without disturbing the surrounding tile, they installed the new one-handled faucet beautifully and it works wonderfully. Thanks again Sal's!

Very satisfied with Thomas' service and Sal's overall! Fast and friendly service, prompt response, fair pricing. Would recommend!

Discovered I had a broken drain pipe under my kitchen sink. Called Sal's around 8:00pm on Saturday night thinking I would leave a message so I could try to get on the schedule for Sunday. They actually answered the phone and confirmed they would send someone the next day (they actually said they would send someone that same evening but I reasoned that since it was not a water problem but just a drain issue, I would just wait until the next day). Got a confirmation phone call the next morning, along with a time frame for the tech to arrive. Joey showed up on time, assessed the problem, fixed it, and I was back in business. Plus, no labor upcharge for a Sunday service call. Joey was really great, personable, and professional. BTW, I have used Sal's Plumbing twice before for pinhole leaks in the ceiling, and I have been happy all three times now.

So here we are in the middle of a super rainy season and water is literally pouring through the ceiling in the guest bedroom (while we had a guest of course). I called two plumbers and left messages so I called a third, Sal's Plumbing. The polite lady on the other end of the phone listened to my deal and said she could get someone here between 3-5pm but would try to get them here sooner. Sure enough Thomas showed up around 2:30pm and went up to the roof. We had a clogged roof drain so there was like 2 of water sitting on flat balcony floor, hence the water coming through the ceiling. He snaked from the drain I showed him (of course I ended up showing him the wrong place) and then he snaked from the roof. He got his bigger line and auger tip and started pulling up roots. While he was snaking I was downstairs and could hear that the snake was going out a different area. Just then he called down and said it must drain from a different location. After looking around in the backyard he uncovered the actual drainpipe that was buried under maybe 6 of dirt. He cleared it, dug it out a bit so it could drain and clog was clear. I cannot recommend Thomas and Sal's Plumbing any more strongly. He stayed until the job was done. On top of that, it was completely affordable and I am a cheap ass cheapskate!! Call Sal's, you won't be disappointed!!

I have used Sal's at my daughter's house in Torrance and they are the best. They respond immediately, the office is manned by a very efficient customer service agent. They are extremely fair with their pricing and all my interactions have been stellar. Today I got lucky enough to get Thomas. I highly recommend him.

They came out and fixed toilet very fast and professional. Anthony was beyond kind and helpful. Would not hesitate to call them again.

My kid flushed a toy down the drain and was FREAKING out about it - I was freaking out because a toilet full of piss was overflowing in my bathroom! Joe sent Javier out fix my toilet and retrieve my sons toy. THANK YOU for sending your guy out after hours I really appreciate it. My bill wasn't bad either.

Called Sal's plumbing for help with leaky pipe behind our washing machine. They showed up on time and the guy was fast and clean. He put everything back where it belonged and was very friendly.
Great Job

This is my 3rd time using Sal's Plumbing. I am in the process of selling my house. Buyer inspector found a suspicious jacuzzi pipe leak. The inspector recommended to open a hole in adjacent room to get access to that leak. I called Sal's right away and they sent someone within an hour to my house. They did a test and found nothing wrong with my jacuzzi. What actually happened was the inspector did not fill up water in jacuzzi before he turned on the pump and it over splashed the wall. Since I had something else to be repaired and they fixed for me right away with very good price as usual. What an honest company to have. They could easily feed into my concern and charged me a fortune about that suspicious leak. but they didn't. So they wrote me a inspection report in receipt to show my buyer the jacuzzi is fine. I am very sure I will use them again in the future. !!!! Thank you Sal's.

Called Sal's plumbing for a clogged kitchen drain on a Monday morning. They sent a young plumber out. He checked the drain, said definitely needed cleared, but he didn't have the right snake size. He would have to come back tomorrow. Not a big issue, since the plumbing and drains in the front of the house were not clogged. Next morning he comes back, once again, doesn't have the right tools. He says he was thinking that our issue might actually be because the drain wasn't properly attached to the vent. He said we needed to install a two way clear out so he could look both ways and see. He said he would do it All for the price of $3700. He wanted to do that before he cleared the drain. He collected a $370 deposit. He disappeared for 4 hours. Good thing, gave us time to realize that what he said didn't make sense. We already had a one way clear out, so we would have only needed another 1 way to go the other direction and the plumbing had been attached for more than 10 years with no issues. We called and said not to come back. We called another plumber on Wednesday morning (day 3 of no kitchen), who came and cleared the drain for $125. That plumber told us, if they wanted to check the drain attachment, they would have added a clear out at the base of the drain, not in the front yard. I called Sal's the following week and asked for a partial refund, since, although he didn't really do anything, he did check the drain, so we figured we should pay for his time. They said Joe would call us back, that was 2 weeks ago, haven't heard a thing. So, if Joe posts on here that he has called us and all is good or that this is a fake review, don't believe it. I have the receipt and canceled check, just like a person in another review that Joe said was fake.

Flash-forward to the future where I had a pipe leak in the roof of my kitchen. Sal's came quickly, did minimal drywall cutting, and quickly replaced the leaking pipe and T-joint with minimal hassle. They also were respectful and responsible with booties and masks always worn. As before, I'll call them again when the next leak happens - because it will!

12/17/2018

Had a great experience with Sal's Plumbing today clearing our main line. I called late this morning and Thomas arrived by mid afternoon and took care of the problem right away. He even offered helpful advice for prevention and maintenance. Good to have things working again and knowing I can call these guys if anything else comes up.

If I could give Sal's more than five stars I undoubtedly would. Just an all around pleasant experience.

After dropping my husband off at the airport for a red eye to the east coast, I returned home to the sound of horror... gushing water. After checking the bathrooms, water heater, washing machine, and even the fish tank, I realized that the sound was coming from under our house!

My husband replied to my panicked texts with a simple Stop worrying about the water bill and the drought. Plane is taking off. Shutting my phone off now. Just call Sal's Plumbing. And so I did.

Not even 45 minutes later and I had an attentive plumber equipped with an extension cord light thingy taking a look under my house. He knew exactly what the problem was and put my mind at ease. He made no promises whether clamping the pipe would work, but fortunately it did. He could've just charged me for a whole pipe replacement, and I wouldn't have been the wiser.

Thank you Sal's for being there when I needed you.

Thomas & Brian were great. They installed 2 clean out drains for my back unit which had none. The bathtub was filling with water when flushing the toilet or running the bathroom or kitchen sink. They were professional, courteous & respectful. Highly recommend. Awesome work

10/18/2020

Sals did a FANTASTIC job, honestly. Rachael answered the phone, got back to me in 5 min having dispatched Anthony to our home adap. 30 min later Anthony showed up, walked in ready to take care of biz, which he promptly did in only 20 min! Snaked, cleared, and triple tested our sink drains for a nice vortex of outgoing water. Left our kitchen clean, call was much less than I expected too. $135 for a Sunday afternoon fix is definitely a fair price! Thx Anthony and Rachael, and of course, the unseen 'SAL'.. good staff, came with an anytime free return guarantee too! Dave

Starting fresh looking for a new plumber and Yelp came through again. Called Sal's this morning and immediately was on the phone with a person who scheduled someone to arrive that day and within a couple hours over my lunch break. Their window is only two hours too which helps with making this a long lunch break rather than a half day event. Thomas was very thorough and literally dove deep(under my house) to really understand what may be causing my bathroom sink to back up. He was sure to explain what the likely problem is, and offered a solution and a price to fix. Old steel pipes! Quick in and out and will definitely be calling them next time. Thanks Sal's! ( and Thomas)

Good ole bait and switch. Be sure to get different quotes. This place may be popular but it's also very expansive. The plumber comes out and then quotes you on spot. They rush and do the job so it not done well. Learned the hard way . Don't waste your time!

07/10/2019 12:00:00 SA

I highly recommend this company. Their response time was impressive and the quality of the work was outstanding. Sergio and JR were amazing! Tree roots blocked the main line which caused major damage to the line and sewage to back up into the house. Sergio was so kind and patient with my elderly cousin who owns the home. He took the time to show us and explain what needed to be done and why. They made a horrible situation more bearable.

Called Sal's to fix our kitchen faucet that has low pressure. Jose misdiagnosed the issue and thought it was a pinched copper pipe and angle stop. He then ordered the part and had to come back the 2nd day. 2nd day comes, a different guy showed up and said he doesn't have the parts and will have to schedule a 3rd visit earlier in the morning. 3rd visit comes and replaced both parts and the issue wasn't fixed at all. They installed new parts that we didn't need and said I have to pay $375 even if there was a different problem. I asked them to install the faucet free since they didn't fix the issue and they said NO! They'll give me a discounted price of $250 to install the faucet that will fix the issue. I was like Do you pay your dentist if they pulled the wrong tooth? They had to call the office so I can speak to someone about this issue and it took 3 days for them to call me. I had to hire someone else to put in the faucet since it was urgent. I asked for a full refund and they hesitated to give it. I was like why should I pay you when you didn't fix what I called you for? And they were like, well we installed new parts for you and that's not free. I was like, who asked for that?!! Lol... this plumbers are a joke! It was a complete waste of time and energy dealing with this business. Avoid the SCAM they're pulling off and trying to make you pay for things you don't need.

11/23/2020

If you know nothing about technical things use these guys! Then you won't realize you have been had. If you don't mind being overcharged and not told their hourly rate. Two and a half times the cost of parts is greedy and that they are !

Our waterless Flushmate tank/toilet broke. We needed a replacement. We called Sal's plumbing and they were able to get Joey Foster to my house in an hour. Joey was knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. We greatly appreciated his expertise and understanding of what we wanted. We decided to move away from a waterless tank/toliet and had to get a new toliet all together. Joey was able to help us pick the the right toilet that would fit our needs, called stores to make sure it was in stock, picked it up and installed it. For a reasonable price and time frame. I also like that Joey vacuumed the area after he was done. Thank you!

We had used Sal's Plumbing a few months ago when our water heater broke and I'm sorry I didn't get the name of the men who helped us, but they were knowledgeable as well.

Thank you Sal's Plumbing! We will definitely be a returning customer.

Well, now we can add dishonest to the list of qualities displayed. Sal's replied with total lies claiming I'd posted a FAKE review. This IS NOT A FAKE REVIEW. AMAZING THAT THE SAL'S EMPLOYEE WOULD LIE AND NOT ATTEMPT TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES.This is NOT an attempt to slander them, they just did a POOR job. They had to redo the entire plumbing on the heater on day 2. And YES, both techs that showed up smoked and left butts all over the lawn. Here's some pics for you Sal's. I wish they'd shown up on time, done a good job the first time, and were not litter bugs.... but they that's what happened. Shall I post the invoice and canceled check ? STILL HACKS and that's the truth. Anyone wishing to contact me or see before and after pics is more than welcome. Shame on you Sal's for being dishonest to the end !

Patrick C.

3/25/2020

Sal's is great. They showed up quickly and tracked down the issue with my very slow patio drains. They gave clear practical advice about my options and didn't immediately steer me down the most expensive route, which was much appreciated. Definitely recommended.

We called today, Sunday, at 1:45 for a clogged sink on the second story and the team confirmed they would be to our house between 2-4. They arrived at 2:30 ready to get to work! They did a thorough job snaking the lines up in the kitchen and down to the first floor. When they wasn't quite as good as they were hoping they also cleared the line from the house to the city. They didn't stop until things were truly clear and ready to go again. A big help on a Sunday!

Called today cause we had one of our pipes start leaking overnight. They were able to come out within an hour and a half. The plumber, Gus was quick to let us know pricing and cost (which seemed fair). It took longer than he anticipated, but we are very happy with the job.

Todd P.

1/17/2022

Had a leak manifesting itself in the garage. Called on a Saturday and someone answered! A plumber came out that day but it was really too late to start the job in my opinion. Made an appointment for Monday. Fernando showed up during the time window. He was clean, contentious and professional. It was a tough job in a tight place but he was able to get it done. Next time I need a plumber I'll call Sal and ask for Fernando.

Michael B.

We had a pinhole leak on Friday and we were having difficulty finding a plumber to come out on the same day. Thankfully, Martin from Sal's plumbing came to the rescue. We used a different plumbing company before but we will be changing services to Sal's moving forward. Thanks Sal's!!

On 2/23 both my toilets were backing up - one we could not use and the other needed to be plunged when flushing. Before calling Sal's, I talked to two plumbers between 2/23 and 2/27 who said they were busy and would send someone then didn't. I called Sal's 3/1 at 10:25 am and by 4:30 pm Thomas and Jose were accessing my problem. Within an hour the unusable toilet was snaked and working perfectly. The other 59 year old toilet needed to be replaced and by 3/2 Thomas and Jose delivered and installed a new water efficient toilet that looked great. I have never had plumbers do such good work and charge such a reasonable price. In the future, I will always call Sal's and I will always ask for Thomas and Jose. ~ Cathy M.

Sal's Plumbing saves the day on Easter Sunday! He came on within 30 minutes of calling on a Sunday. He fixed and drained our garbage disposal. He was meticulous and stayed to make sure there were know leaks. I would definitely recommend Sal to others especially if you are in a pinch!

Sean M.

06/01/2020 12:00:00 SA

Dave was our technician. He was on time, really courteous, and very knowledgeable. He was able to repair our garbage disposal without needing to replace it. I highly recommend Sal's and Dave especially.

Called Sunday morning not expecting anyone to answer. Not only did someone answer, they scheduled an appt for the same day. Thomas snaked my washer drain line and provided feedback on how we should proceed should this be potentially a temporary fix.

Extremely helpful and knowledgeable!

Melissa M.

3/13/2017

We had an issue with roots growing into our pipes and causing sewage blockage. Arturo and Thomas arrived on time, were very professional and careful and used a video camera to identify the problem and show us what was going on. Arturo let us know what our options were, and got to work right away to fix the issue. In no time, they had located the pipe and dug a 4 foot deep hole in my front yard (and were careful to save my large salvia plant as well). I was very impressed with how hard these guys worked to get the job done in one day, and they even replanted my flowers and cleaned up the dirt afterwards. I will definitely use them again if I have any more plumbing issues.

What do you do when it's Super Bowl Sunday and your tenant calls you and tells you that the toilet in the upstairs bathroom is flooding and the water is coming through the ceiling fixtures on the first level....I mean literally a couple hours before the start of the game...Oh and by the way....you're home is in Redondo Beach and you happen to be in Palm Springs for the weekend....

You call Sal's Plumbing!

That's what we did and within the next thirty minutes they showed up and fixed the problem.....literally saved the day and our home!

Fortunately for us, we already knew who to call, because we have used them in the past.....

Thank you Sal's Plumbing!!!!

Luis gets 5 stars.

I called three plunbing outfits to get quotes on the removal of a old bathtub drain.
The drain was removed and replaced two years ago, so I was knowledgeable on how the job should be done.

I asked each plumber if they had the know how to remove the drain?
Each said yes.

Well after the first two saw the job they told me it could not be done without removing and replacing all the bathtub plumbing.

When I talked to Luis, he told me exactly what had to be done, came out and did it.

Moral of story, is to know what has to be done, how it has to be done, and don't waist time.
Call Sal's and ask for Luis.

Sal's plumbing - said they'd be here between 7:30-9:30 PM. I asked they call in advance because I have little ones. Shows up at 9:28. No call. I told them to bring a long snake that goes over 25 feet. Our friend is a plumber and tried to fix earlier and gave us the heads up fo what we need. Long story short guy tries to charge me $350 for 20 minutes of work after the man on the phone said $250 if it's pretty cut and dry. When the bill was handed to me for $350 I asked him if they charge $700-$800 per hour since he's been here 20 minutes? He looked st me like I was crazy and said it's the after hour prices. I explained to him I discussed that prior to having him come out and let's call the office. We called and I asked what is your hourly rate after hours? We don't charge by the hour but by the job. If you're already done it should be more than $250
Guy who came out basically asked for the phone, 2 second conversation, bill $250.

Sal's - I would recommend. I'm never a fan of the service oriented back and forth. Just a cheesy way to conduct a business.

Had a clogged shower drain and reached out to a handful of companies. They came back with the lowest quote and had same day availability. I am glad I chose them. Dimas was nice and professional. He assessed the full situation (pipes, connections, etc) before he started work. Once he was able to pinpoint the location of the clog, he went at it. After about 10 minutes of snaking the line, he got the drain clear and water to flow. Recommended some re-piping - apparently build-up and galvanizing has shortened the diameter of the drain. Will definitely go back to him to have this done in the near future to prevent further clogs. Thanks guys and be safe out there!

I called Sal's early this afternoon and was so amazed at the response time. They were over to my house about an hour later. Thomas, the technician, was very respectful of my house - made sure he wore his shoe coverings when he went in and out of my house and cleaned up and was very tidy before he left. He unclogged my washer that had backed up and was very knowledgeable. He gave me some recommendations (I'm in a rental house) so said if problem continues, I would contact our landlord. Services rendered was very reasonable too. Will use them if I need future plumbing needs. Thank you Sal's Plumbing, I'm so glad I called you. Had originally made an appointment with another plumbing company but they couldn't come out for 4 days.

We came home to a clogged pipe and leaking. Dave came out that night to check it and make sure it was stable to wait until the morning to fix. He came back, on time, and fixed the clog. While here, he completed other plumbing tasks I needed done. He even came back the next day to finish the work. Educated me on various things I needed to watch for, etc. would use again.

Gene W.

12/21/2021

Sal's completely saved me! Had a washer line backup and flooding in my laundry room. They came out within 2 hours, found the problem and fixed a complex clog issue quickly and inexpensively. Walked me through every step in the process so I didn't feel they were trying to upsell me. They are great and I will use them for any future plumbing issues!

Mary S.

10/24/2018

The guys and gals at Sal's are great. I called about a mysterious leak on a weekend, and they sent someone out right away. And the weekend price wasn't terrible.

Nice people. Smart plumbers.

Did a nice clean job replacing my bathroom sink faucets that were inoperable with hard water damage.

Felt like they might be on the pricey side, but don't really have a basis for comparison.

Would use them again Ko

Sal's plumbing came to clear a main line sewer stoppage and ran a camera down the drain to show me that the sewer was clear. They were available to come out Sunday night and had friendly knowledgeable people to answer questions. I would highly recommend Sal's plumbing.

12/05/2020 12:00:00 SA

Sal's is great. It's been a fun day when I woke up to find an old sediment filter had blown off the side of my house to unleash a river down my driveway to the street. Call Sal's first to get me in the queue...Given I had to shut off water, I called around to a few places.

Other company came first and quoted me a VERY large number after commenting that my backyard was bigger than he thought. A couple calls later and Luis from Sal's was here (despite me maybe canceling them). Luis took one look and quoted me 2 prices:

1 very low for a temporary fix if I just wanted to put back in a sediment filter.
1 quote for 1/2 the price (maybe even lower) of the other guy to permanently replace the ineffective filter with permanent solution.

I took option 2, and he was done in under and hour.

Can't rave enough about how professional Luis was and how he advised me on ways to not waste money. Additionally, the work is very clean and well done.

Fantastic job all around with Luis and even the schedulers! I'll be calling them up to replace my water heater when it kicks the bucket...

Today Sal's Plumbing followed up promptly to let me know the process regarding my friends plumbing issues. They are highly knowledgable and won't let the ball drop and them your are left wondering what is going on. I appreciate a business that comes through with honesty and in an authentic way. It makes you feel like you are part of a neighborhood of friends. Helping people is so important in this world. I will use them when I have any additional plumbing needs.

I had a emergency back flow situation and Thomas from Sal's came by and did everything he can to fix the problem. Explained thoroughly what the problem was and very courteous. Couldn't be more satisfied.

Background: Sal's installed a brand new toilet for us 1 year, 3 months ago. We were happy and thought they were trustworthy. There shouldn't be major repairs needed for a brand new toilet but unfortunately it was out of warranty and the water keeps on running and tank doesn't fill up.

The situation: I called and made an appointment. They I confirmed on the phone that there wouldn't be a fee for a consult. They will tell us what needs to be done and how much it would cost after they come to our home to see the problem. This was the same thing the first time they came to install our toilets. They will tell us how much after they visit. No pressure tactics the first time.

When the plumber arrived to fix our toilet, he said the fill valve needed to be replaced. We're skeptical because it's a brand new toilet, but he says over time the minerals in the water can affect the function of the toilet. It's only been one year! How much mineral deposit could accumulate in one year?!?

But okay we'll do what needs to be done because we need functioning toilet. He estimates $350. When we said we were surprised at how much the repairs would cost especially for a brand new toilet, he tried to justify the cost by saying he needed to go to the store to buy the part so it would take longer than what he expected to complete the job. But he will call his boss to see if he can lower the price. He goes outside, makes a phone call and comes back to say it would cost $180. (Red flag: $350 to $180 is a big jump so their prices seem arbitrary. See invoice with the $350 crossed out.) When we said no that's still too much, he asks so you do nothing? He said if we do nothing he will need to charge $90 for the consult. When we said we were told on the phone consults were free, he said no we were told wrong information. So hesitantly, we were pressured into letting him do the job because it cost us half of the cost anyway just for him to do nothing.

When we said yes okay, he goes to his truck, grabs some things from his truck and comes back inside to start working. He did NOT need to go to the store to buy a part. Everything was a complete lie. But we needed our toilets fixed and let him do what needed to get done.

This guy was totally taking advantage of our situation. There were so many red flags and this was completely the opposite of the experience we had the first time. So I guess it depends on who they send out to do the job, but we're not risking this again. We have other plumbing jobs that need to get done and will stay far, far away from these guys.

Very happy with the service we got from Thomas. He arrived within the scheduled timeframe to unclog our kitchen sink drain, and was very pleasant and professional. While addressing the clogged pipes, Thomas identified the root cause of our constant clogging issue as well as a pipe leak we had no idea about. He took video of it for us to see since the location of these issues required him to crawl underneath the house. The cost of the work came in as expected and there was no pushy sales effort by Thomas to get us to do more work with Sal's. I'm a happy customer.

Sal's Plumbing responded to our problems quickly even on the weekend. Thomas did a great job and was super friendly. We were given a good explanation of other technologies available for future sewer line support. We really appreciate their help.

I now have my plumber for life in Hermosa Beach! After getting jerked around by first company Sal's came through for me on a Sunday ! . They called me 15 minutes after I requested quote.
My plumber Wilson was so professional and competent even drove out to get part needed and was right back just made the usual plumbing nightmare into a positive experience and I feel confident my repair is solid and taken care of.

I called a few companies in the area for my kitchen faucet replacement, but they couldn't make it out for a few days. The problem is my husband already started removing the original faucet so we needed a guy to come today. Sal's Plumbing to the rescue! I called around 10 am, they sent Thomas at 3 pm. Thomas was wonderful, personable and friendly, great customer service. He wore booties in the house and made sure to explain everything along the way. He noticed right away that our hoses were different sizes and needed an adaptor. He went out and obtained the right pieces so he could finish the job. From start to finish including time to get the extra parts, it took less than 2 hrs. He also noticed that we had a small leak under our sink from our angle stops, he made sure to point them out and recommend a different plumber from his company to do the job. He wanted to make sure we got it done right instead of trying to do it all himself, which I thought was wonderfully honest. Thanks, Sal's Plumbing! Will be calling them tomorrow to schedule the rest of our plumbing needs!

Contacted Sals plumbing for a clogged drain. Thomas showed up on time handled our problem quickly and explained everything to our satisfaction. For the work done the price was very fair.

So, at first I was skeptical--a plumber almost at random to deal with a badly stopped kitchen drain. I thought it was just the trap, but couldn't get it loose so I sprung for a plumber. I got Mike Smith, and -- danger sign, I thought -- he thought it was not the trap but actually in the pipe that went to the main. Unfortunately, the old plumbing had fused to the point where it was inaccessible from under the sink. Also, the house had shifted so that that pipe that went to the main was no longer at an angle and was slowly turning to concrete inside. Well, Mike was entirely correct. We checked the trap--nothing. No way into that pipe except by cutting it, but then what good was it? It would just block up again and still no way to get a snake in there. Mike suggested we put in an access valve in the new pipe so that we'd always be able to get a snake in there in the future, without having to rip out the kitchen to redo the plumbing. Well, it was more expensive than a simple snaking, but we couldn't do that anyway, and it meant that in the future we'd always have a solution. Basically, he was smart enough to save us thousands of dollars, which might have to be spent down the road, but for the moment we have a solution. I liked that he was willing to find us a solution that could fit the budget, and he was honest, and best of all, he was right about everything. Highly recommended.

My sewer clogged on Sunday at 2:30pm. I called another company and they said they could give me a price until they looked at. I then called Sal's, they gave me a reasonable quote and we're out at the house earlier than the estimated time. Gino was great and efficient. Did the work with no hassle. I would definitely use them again.

Quick, efficient, knowledgeable, clean, dependable, and pays attention to detail. Pretty much everything you could ask for with a plumbing service, happily recommended Sal's to all my friends.

I called Sal's Plumbing to have them come out and check my backed up sewer line because I was having raw sewer leakage outside in my back yard. YUCK! They came right over, driving a professional work truck, bringing all the heavy equipment needed to diagnose the problem. I paid to have the plumbing snaked and to have a camera placed down the pipe to pin point the problem... Plumber David gave me a detailed reporting of what the plumbing problem was so I could pass the information on to my plumber... I requested an estimate from him also, just in case I wanted Sal's Plumbing to replace the broken sewer pipe. I was very satisfied with their professionalism and extent of work that was completed for a very reasonable price...

After I had the raw sewage cleaned up, I decided to have Sal's come back out and replace the sewer pipe. Again, they were very professional and the job included breaking up and removal of concrete, jack hammers, replacing pipes and concrete fill in. Even when some unexpected issues/ miscommunications came up during this job, which ran through the weekend, Sal's Plumbing worked diligently with me and I am very happy with the way everything turned out! I will call Sal's Plumbing the next time I am in need of any plumbing work done! THANK YOU JOE AND DAVID!!!!

Jennifer H.

4/19/2016

I am so impressed with Sal's plumbing, the owner went out of his way to get our shower back in order in a timely and tidy manner. I swear the plumber, Joe, left the bathroom cleaner than he found it. Joe, the owner, saved us time and money by being knowledgeable, professional, and fast. I know I will be using Sal's anytime I need a plumber and I highly recommend them to anyone.

My faucets had to be replaced after an accident; my regular plumber, who is great but just one person; was booked for weeks in advance. I decided to try these guys out. They had a plumber who happened to be available within 2 hours of my call. They gave me an estimate over the phone and showed up on time and installed my faucets within the estimate I was quoted. I will definitely keep these guys in mind for future work and would recommend them based on this experience.

9/13/2019

Drain pipe was leaking so I called Sal's Plumbing at 8am. They promised 10-12pm and the plumber showed up in that time frame.

He figured out the problem quickly, made some additional tests to verify that there wasn't anything else, fixed the problem quickly and even cleaned up afterwards.

Very professional, great response time and very knowledgable. Highly recommended.

When you get Nick, you get a person who has tons of experience and who wants to get the job done right and done well. I'm working from home, and the thought of having a plumber at home when I work is inconvenient. But Nick is so experienced and efficient that he fixes the problem super quickly! It allows me to get back to work quicker.

He knows exactly what he is doing and when I describe a problem, he starts troubleshooting it immediately! He even takes the time to explain to me what happened and what I can do to fix my problems.

Great technical skills, great customer service, great everything.

We had broken pipes in our restaurant, we needed to repair as soon as possible since we were going to cater to a private event of over 100 people plus our regular dinning room service. Sal's plumbing technicians arrived early in the morning to fix issue without disturbing any of our business and in time for us to cater to our big event. Sal's plumbing saved the day. Highly recommend.
Thanks from all the Bluewater Grill crew here in Redondo Beach.

Shocked to be quoted $850 for an easily accessed pinpoint leak! Seemed excessive to me for a job that took less than 90 minutes. I will give them credit, they came down $50 after I appealed to the boss. Otherwise, arrived on time, took less than 90 minutes. But next time would ask for quotes in advance. And they could at least buy me dinner before screwing me like that!

I would highly recommend this company for any and all of your plumbing needs... We had a pretty big job that needed to be completed to help get us ready for our kitchen remodel, this process included moving our water heater from one side of the house to another, moving our washer and dryer from the kitchen to another location in the house and running water lines for our new refrigerator. They had to dig a massive trench to support the new gas lines as well as the sewer lines, needless to say it was a pretty extensive job, as the job progressed multiple obstacles arose and yet their team stayed dedicated to the process and worked day and night to get the job completed. I've never met a better team then Marvin and Thomas, you would never know our backyard was dug up, their attention to detail is also much appreciated.

Price was competitive with other offers received and turn around time for getting the project started/wrapped up was very quick...... In every aspect of choosing a plumber I would highly recommend Sal's plumbing.

Thanks again Marvin and Thomas for everything you did, you guys rock!!

Y'all this company is awesome! Everyone that works for Sal's is a pleasure to work with and is incredibly kind. I called the company, and they offered same-day availability, although I didn't accept the offer. I ended up having them come out the following day. They gave me a two-hour window for which they could arrive. I received a call 30 minutes prior to their arrival. I worked with two different plumbers from the business. One of them was David, unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the other man. I had an issue with my dryer duct collecting water. I called Sal's and they brought out a camera to take a look. They identified the issue quickly and then were on their way. Thankfully, it turns out I had an extreme amount of compacted lint in the duct, so there was no need to bust open the wall or make any costly repairs. The guys that work for this company are very professional and do not want to price gouge you. They generally care about their customers and are not in the business to try and push unnecessary costly repairs onto customers. I would HIGHLY recommend calling Sal's.

Thomas came by to unclog our toilet. He was very nice and polite and even brought his own booties and put them on without us asking. He was thorough and cleaned up after his work. Would definitely call him again in the future.

I originally called them for the kitchen sink clog repair on 1/17/18, and I had a great experience with Thomas. He was very polite and explained what and why he had to do on each process, and described what was the problem.

I asked Thomas come back for another repair for the reoccurring problem today( note: it was nothing to do with his previous repair. It was more related to the construction issue). He investigated the problem and again very generously explained to me what would be the problem, and took care of it promptly, answered all my questions and concerns. Often it's very hard for renters to understand what causes problems in water pipes, so it's very relief to hear professional opinions like Thomas's. I appreciate his hard work and hones opinion to let me know what the problem was. And it was taken care of under the warranty. Thank you very much!

David Teague was the plumber that responded promptly to our call. While our existing plumbing was not to code, David made it work!

We needed extensive corrective work and David made it all correct and working.

We appreciate his work, professionalism and very cool vibe!

Kudos to David!!

Kevin and Francisco showed up, worked hard. Were very friendly, and professional. They helped take care of our badly stopped drain and took the time and care to clean everything. Kevin is outstanding and I was truly impressed by his work ethic and honesty. I highly recommend sals plumbing and be sure to ask for Kevin and Francisco. I would call sals in a heartbeat given how great and honest the service was. Outstanding. Thank you guys! We have our upstairs showers back!

Wanted to give a shout-out to Nick (and George?) who came over for a consultation, provided a reasonable quote. Once approved, got to work immediately, all while wearing a mask, shoe booties, and laying out a work path to protect our floors as they went in and out. Nick even made my boy laugh, which is such a delight during COVID times. They fixed the issue quickly, and Nick even came by a few days later as a follow-up, after we've had a chance to test it out.

Thank you so much for helping us, while respecting our space and health during these really challenging times for busy families!

Thomas came and fixed my broken bathroom faucet so quickly! He was polite, well-mannered and explained everything he was doing in an easy to understand way.

We have had problems with our kitchen sink backing up multiple times with 3-4 weeks time. Called Sal's plumbing for estimate, and they were very responsive, even on Labor Day weekend. Plumber quickly came up with a plan and install led a new clean out on the outside of the home for better access. While a little pricey, job was done quickly and efficiently. Thanks!

I had emergency with my bathroom sink. The plumber, his name Thomas, arrived at set time. He was very professional, drained my sink. He was very professional, went above and beyond what needed to be done. He cleaned the sink and the floor, looked very tidy and professional. I recommend this business and would use it again.

My toilet bowl started draining slower and slower with each flush. Not good to be without a toilet especially during a pandemic. Sal's Plumbing responded to my request for quote through Yelp within minutes. I called to have someone come to give an estimate/fix the problem. The time frame was between 10am-12pm which was much sooner than another company.

Pedro E. was at house within about 2 hours or so of my phone call. He explained what it would cost so snake the line and if that didn't work it might require removing the toilet and using a camera to find the problem.

He snaked the line and the toilet was working like it should. He even offered to go under the house to check the line to make sure it was connected properly, etc. He looked under the house and everything was okay.

Pedro was professional. He explained what he planned to do. He answered all my questions clearly. If I ever need a plumber again I will tell Sal's Plumbing to send Pedro.

Side note: he was wearing a face mask and latex gloves the whole time.

Calvin Y.

1/31/2020

Sals sent someone out here quickly and fixed the issue but the customer service was lackluster. Our tech was rude, sarcastic, and had a bad attitude. When I offered to clear our items under the sink for him, he made a sarcastic comment and throughout the fix he was lecturing us on our maintenance. He fixed the issue at hand but made us feel as if we wouldn't be protected for the 30 day warranty window if it was our fault. I won't be contacting sal's again since they did not make us feel like they wanted to be here to help.

Lawrence C.

04/02/2021 12:00:00 SA

I would highly recommend Sal plumbing; They were responsive unlike some I've encountered and their prices were not exorbitant like some; I've had two bad experiences with plumbers prior to using Sal's plumbing; They cleared the pipes from my kitchen all the way to the street and got the job done effectively and at an honest price; The two prior plumbers I used did not have the proper equipment and performed a really mediocre job and did not clear the clog. They tried to convince me I had pipe defects that were failing and needed a massive rip and replace project which would cost in the thousands. I was so glad Sal got the job done.

Had the greatest experience with Sal's Plumbing! Called in the morning and spoke with Joe who was very helpful, and someone was out to my house in a few hours. Thomas was the one who came to snake my bath tub drain, and he was very knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and took proper COVID precautions before entering my home. Not to mention the price of this service was almost half of what I had been quoted from other plumbers in the area. I can't recommend them enough!

Anthony B.

8/22/2016

The house was in terrible shape... the toilet was clogged and unplungable, the shower wouldnt stop running, and the temperature of all showers was unchangeable from freezing cold. They sent a plumber named Nick to the house. He quickly assessed the problem, and worked hard to get the repairs handled efficiently. But what i appreciate most is his communication by phone, and how quickly he arrived to handle business. I would definetely reccomend this plumber to anyone!

Chris F.

9/14/2018

Probably one of the worse service experience with David the plumber. He did not seem confident in his work. He was unable to remove the elbow and wanted to charge us $250 to remove and replace the elbow along with the trap.

We called another company, who was able to easily remove the elbow, snake the kitchen sink and completed the service in less than 15 minutes for only $125.

Yes this all happened today.

We started engaging Sal's Plumbing for our unit in Redondo this year based the great Yelp reviews. The first time we had their help was with a backed up dish washer in June. The plumber was courteous, punctual and did a great job.

We got them back about two weeks ago for two leaks: one under the kitchen sink and one in the laundry room. The technician showed up on time and provided his diagnosis - very communicative (pic 1). He replaced the part for the sink and fixed the leak in the kitchen. He also informed us that there didn't seem to be anything wrong in the laundry room area despite of the visible dampness on the floor (pic 2).

Today we had water in the same area (pic 3). The issue is worsening. I called the office and was able to get an appointment tomorrow after lunch though not with the same technician.

I have a very mixed feeling about this. I really wished that things were taken care of the first time we identified the issue but would like to give them the benefit of the doubt and see if it is indeed the same root cause. I will update the review once I hear back from them tomorrow.

Thomas came to assess our leaking toilet last week. His response time was great. Very professional. He determined the issue right away. We truly appreciated his opinion...he also made another call for make sure, which gave us assurance of a second opinion. We trust Sal's Plumbing for their honesty and fair prices. We had first used them to install a water softener. We have been a customer of theirs ever since.

Replaced a gas fireplace valve and delivery system. The company responded quickly on the initial house call. We talked about pricing before job commenced, but when it was finished I felt like I was being taken advantage of. Although the guy working on the job was generally a nice guy and seemed well versed on what he was doing, the work hours were inflated, including not deducting the full two hour lunch break, and I had to call him out on it. Then he said I'm being charged $200 for parts. Didn't produce itemized invoice so I have no way of verifying any of this. I just feel like it wasn't above board and I was left with a bad taste in my mouth.
And maybe worst of all, he didn't want to wear a mask. I asked him a few times to use his bandana he wore around his neck. He wasn't happy to do so, each time huffing and puffing about it and at times making a comment basically about how overblown it all was. Dude, just wear a mask when you're in my house with my whole family wearing masks around you. Unacceptable.

Our water heater recently died and we no longer had hot water. We called Sal's plumbing and they arrived within 30 minutes of our call. They confirmed we needed a new water heater as the one we had was over 15 years old and I knew it was time. Sal's gave us a very competitive quote to replace the water heater and we went ahead and had them replace it.

Sal's plumber, Dominic was extremely courteous and knowledgeable. He did a great job installing the water heater and completed the job in a timely manner. We will be calling Sal's Plumbing for any of our future plumbing needs and highly recommend them.

We have been working with Sal's Plumbing for over 10+ years, for all our properties in the South Bay. They have always gone above and beyond to make sure all our needs are met, and our issues resolved. Even when dealing with occasionally complex problems and/or demanding tenants, their plumbers are always respectful and professional. The quality of their work, and professional standards are top notch.

We needed emergency plumbing service for our business and Thomas showed up within 40 minutes of us calling. When he arrived, he kindly introduced himself and explained what he was going to do. Once the service was done he gave us a detailed explanation of why our sink was clogged and offered different suggestions. Will definitely call Sal's plumbing if we ever need their services again! Thomas was great! Thank you Sal's Plumbing.

My rental house bathroom drain was plugged. Thomas came and cleared it. It turned out to be some tree roots and hair. Due to lack of a clean out, the toilet had to be removed in order to snake the drain so Tenant's can get back to enjoying their holiday break. Overall, very good service!

Dominic: You are the best. Not only were you knowledgeable, but you were professional and polite. You called to ask if you could eat lunch before you came, you called ten minutes before arrival, you did not leave a mess and you fixed the multiple plumbing problems that I had. Thank you! I will call your plumbing company again.

Thomas came in on a Sunday night to fix a blockage. He diagnosed and solved the issue quickly. He explained how to prevent the problem from happening again. Would definitely recommend.

Do not trust their workmanship. Red flag warning. Overcharged in a service that should have been 1/2 the cost. Lesson learned.

We had a rain shower head that had been leaking for a few weeks now. We had one plumber come over to evaluate the problem but unfortunately he couldn't fix it because the specialty Rohl shower cartridge that needed to be replaced is not a part they stock on their trucks. I had to go through great lengths to find the right part. Luckily, the plumber told me were to shop. Once I got the part form Ferguson, I called Sal's plumbing back and they sent Dimas to fix the shower. After about an hour of trying to remove the old cartridge, he decided he was going to need a special tool to remove it. Unfortunately, they don't stock that on their trucks. Frustrated that he couldn't fix it that day when I already had someone come over to look at it a couple weeks previously, he offered to come back first thing the next morning with the right tool. He did! He came with the proper tool and had the shower fixed within the hour! Thanks Dimas! He was extremely kind and kept his workspace very clean! Thank you!!

We had a major plumbing issue and every plumber we called was too busy to come out, but not THESE plumbers, they came out for us the same day. Thomas and Pauly were very nice and professional. They took good care of us and worked their magic. I highly recommend them.

Sheryl D.

08/05/2018 12:00:00 SA

I called on a Sunday at 2 PM, they said they could come between 4-6 PM and they arrived before 4! I was very excited since I have guest coming into town! Excellent work, let us know the issue and we will be calling them again for any of our plumbing needs!

Tracy W.

Sal's Plumbing has always been very responsive, from my initial phone call to their office to the service call. Thomas is very thorough and explains the issues. Highly recommend Sal's Plumbing.

Our toilet stopped flushing so we called Sal's plumbing and Thomas came over. First Thomas was very courteous and friendly. He put shoe booties on even without us asking. He tested the water and saw that there wasn't really anything wrong (which made me feel very stupid). He didn't judge me and told me that it's okay and not to worry about a fee. That is very honest (unlike a lot of scrupulous plumbers that will charge you even though they didn't do a single thing). It's hard to find an honest plumber and we found one with Sal's

The plumber showed up 2 hours late. He was unapologetic for being late. He was suppose to bring a shower part with him, but he didn't bring it. When I questioned him his response was I couldn't get it. He didn't bother to notify me in advance so I could arrange for the part. The plumber and the company office staff is very unreliable and unprofessional. He showed up to do the job but left without saying anything, because I complained to him for being late. I wouldn't recommend Marvyn the plumber or this company to anyone. He wasted my time.

Wow! Luis and Jorge were great!

We discovered a water leak in the foundation on Friday, and needed help fast. Called Sal's Plumbing and they sent Luis and Jorge. They listened to the problem, inspected the location and informed us regarding our options. They found the leak in the foundation, gave us options on how to repair it and returned on Saturday to fix it. They capped the leaking water line, re-routed the hot water, fixed a broken valve and had our house's water running again by 5 pm on Saturday night.

Luis and Jorge wore masks the whole time, put down heavy duty drop cloths to protect our new floors, cleaned the workspace, dumped their trash and kept us in the loop the whole time. I checked in on them periodically, and they always stopped what they were doing to fill me in. Before they finished, a Sal's supervisor even came by to inspect their work.

Sal's Plumbing, and Luis and Jorge in particular, were highly professional, while being customer and solution oriented.

Sal's Plumbing and Luis are in my cell phone contacts now. I was really impressed and expect to use them again for all my plumbing needs!

I just moved here not too long ago and had leak under the house. I had a plumber back at my old place that I absolutely loved and trusted but since I was new to the area I had to start fresh and ended up calling Sal's Plumbing off a recommendation from my new neighbor. From the fist call to after the job was done Joe and his guys were absolutely polite, honest and the cost was fair. I was impressed all around. I would definitely recommend these guys.

I had Thomas from Sal's plumbing to clear my kitchen drain few hours ago and after he left the drain started to back up again. I called Thomas and he came back within an hour after I notified him of my problem and without any displeasure of having to come back he corrected the problem again and we think it's fixed this time. I really think Thomas is an asset to this company!

Called and schedule to unclog hair in the shower drain.

Plumbers showed up 25 mins earlier than expected. Strange but no big deal.

Two guys, the English speaker that talks and bills and his helper.

The guy immediately wants to up sell and say a part needs to be replaced. Asked if I'm the owner or not. What does that have to do with the clog? The part he was talking about was recently replaced a year ago.

He talks a lot to justify the price. I was quoted a lot lower but expected some increase, just not $120 over. And I still had to talk him down. He gives that usual speel on how hard it is (yes I agree but I think we all understand the tasks of a plumber and difficulty).

So essentially I got a Spanish speaking plumber and an English speaking salesman that day. And the guy was talking crap (in Spanish) to his helper while he was working. I know this can be viewed as teasing but he goes a little hard.

The guy wanted cash (to rip off his own office) but I didn't have enough to cover his markup. He even said they charge a credit card fee which was a lie. He just added a rounded up estimate in without calculating exact value. It's amazing how lazy he was.

If you're desperate, I can't say don't call them. I understand your needs. Just be ready to haggle down the price. And if you do go with them, don't be fooled they did you a favor. Don't leave a good review after being ripped off and having a manipulative person up sell you. Dude needs to take it easy on the caffeine too.

Avoid them at all costs!! The front office sounds professional, but the owner and his supervisor are liars. Brought them in because of some slow-running drains. Three different plumbers came out--the first left because his roto-tool was broken. The second called and was competent--he called me and said he was going to try the main first, which I approved. But he left the job, too! A third guy came in and tried to unclog the drains, not the main (which I didn't approve of). He pulled the toilet without draining it or so much as putting down a towel, flooding the upstairs bathroom. It leaked through the ceiling into the downstairs bedroom and set off the smoke alarms!

My contactor came out to survey the damage and the Sal's supervisor came to meet with him. Sal's said he didn't detect any water damage the day before, but admitted their plumbers did a substandard job, and he didn't check the drywall thoroughly. But my contractor did, and I have a video of him using a hydrometer to prove the drywall damage. The supervisor claimed those tests can be faked!! And then he tried to squirm out of responsibility by saying the leak already existed! My contractor proved that was a lie, as there were no stains or mold (which set in after 5 days of a leak). I sent an estimate for the damage, and the supervisor told us to move forward with the repair, as his drywall guy was too busy. But later, he lied to his boss and said he never gave us approval. While Sal's gave me a discount for the admittedly substandard service call for unclogging the drains, they refused to take responsibility for the $1,850 it cost for the drywall repair. While their admin staff seems professional, their owner is belligerent, rude, and won't take responsibility for his company. Please--never let these jerks near your home!

I've already submitted a complaint claim to the CA State Contractors Board. They shouldn't be in business.

Very fast response and straight forward pricing. We had to pay after hours fee but it was worth it. Had a leak from pipe in the ceiling and needed work ASAP. Definitely will use these guys again in the future. Mike was our guy.

Thomas from Sal's came out today and was very professional in fixing our garbage disposal; he did a terrific job, and this is the second time that Sal's Plumbing has been at our house, and each time they've done great work!

Jessie G.

2/15/2022

Thomas saved me again! I called him in a panic because a handyman had come for a simple job and left me with a partially installed water filter, leaking sink, and stinky broken dishwasher in the middle of my kitchen. Thomas came within 2 hours of my call. He fixed the filter, repaired the leaks in the sink, drained the dishwasher, and removed it at no extra charge.
He's super honest, and gives me a realistic quote before he comes. And if the job turns out to be simpler than expected, he charges me less than the original quote.

Rachel M.

11/17/2018

We called Sa's today for yet anothere one of our drainage problems. This time the upstairs bathroom. We have called Sal's a few times. The first time, Thomas came out and we liked Thomas as a professional plumber and as a person. We have needed a plumber a few time, mainly for different drainage problems. Since the first time, we always ask for Thomas.

I don't know about other technicians as we always ask for Thomas.

Barry O.

I called them at 10 am on a Saturday morning to fix a clogged kitchen sink. They arrived within the hour and unclogged my sink in about 20 minutes. Luis and George really did a great job and were very fast and efficient!!

Thank You!!!

Fidel came to fix my sink. Left a bit of a mess and apologized....my thought: well, why don't you clean up YOUR mess??
He asked if I had something to catch the water under the sink.... we used one of my pots. My thought: why the heck don't you carry a bucket as part of your equipment.
I usually use Mike Diamond and will again next time, however they were
Unfortunately unavailable this time.

Incredible Service!

I just used them last night for an emergency call. Cost was fair, person on the phone was kind and helpful.

When the plumber arrived it was straight to business. Did not try to upsell me and was clear and communicative throughout the whole process. Quite simply the best experience I have had with a plumbing company.

Janice M.

Excellent service yesterday Feb 25, 2021. Team arrived on time ready to tackle my clogged main line. David used the hydro jet, snake and camera to inspect the line. I appreciated the professionalism and good work. Things are flowing freely again.

Matt S.

9/17/2021

I called Thursday about a leaking shutoff valve for our sprinkler system. They confirmed a time on Friday with a two hour window. Friday afternoon I got a call asking if they could come by an hour early as their previous job finished early - nice!

Mike showed up and tried several methods of straightforward repairs; tightening a nut, adding some tape, and concluded that the valve was in bad enough shape that a workaround wasn't going to be possible. He disassembled the valve, ran out to the hardware store, and found a matching replacement. He reinstalled it and we ran a few tests, and everything looks great now.

His attitude was really positive and I appreciated that he ran out to get the part right away, and only charged me the service charge for the whole visit.

Trenchless/liner main-line repair was chosen to correct broken pipe/root problem. Pedro and his crew completed project in less than 1.5 days (mimimal impact to lawn and without water only 2 hrs)...very professional and highly recommend this service to anyone with reoccuring root issues and cracked-old clay/ceramic pipes (which will only get worse over time)!!!

I highly recommend this company! I had an emergency the other night with a copper pipe leak and they answered the phone call immediately. They came in less than 30 minutes and replaced the copper pipe with a better-quality pipe. This company is extremely professional. If you ever have any emergency, don't look for any other company because Sal's plumbing is the one! Also, ask for Thomas, he is the best plumber I've ever had and he really knows what he is doing!!

It's been 2 years since we needed any plumbing done in our house (thankfully), and Sal's was just as good as I remembered. Incredibly prompt response when calling to request an appointment. But the best part? YOU choose the 2 hour window that works for you. I have wasted so many days for the cable company and other home repairs that give you a 5 or 7 hour window and expect you to clear your whole day.

Gino is the plumber who helped us as he did a few years ago and he was just as professional, timely and kind. We are particular about wearing shoes in the house and Gino was putting on his boot covers before I even had the chance to say anything. Pretty impressive memory from 2 years ago. He was in and out in under an hour with time left over to chat with my young children.

If you need ANY plumbing work done on your house, Sal's should be the FIRST and ONLY place you call.

Thanks again...hope we don't need to see you for another few years :)

Another great experience with Sal's Plumbing! After fixing the clogged toilet, Thomas noticed there was water pooling under the house. He wanted to find the root of the problem and offered to crawl under the house. One of the pipes was dislodged and leaking a lot water :( Thank goodness for Thomas' keen eye, thoroughness, and expertise!! Highly recommend Sal's!

Lea R.

Really appreciate David from Sal's Plumbing for being available on a holiday. We had an unexpected leak and had to shut off the water. When I called, they were straightforward about cost, availability, and timing. David arrived well within the estimated window, assessed the situation, communicated the total cost, and made the needed repairs quickly & efficiently. A little follow-up work will be needed & I plan to call Sal's Plumbing to complete that work.

James Q.

1/23/2022

I got a give a shout out to this plumbing company. They pick up the phone was responsive and even told me ahead of time that they were running a little bit behind. Thomas from this company came through on a Sunday, he was very professional and super friendly. It's the little things that really count, such as him putting on wrappers around his shoes before he came in. He quickly fixed the issues and made me feel very good about any future problems so that I can call this company again.

Dixie H.

12/11/2021 12:00:00 SA

We had a major leak that required rerouting some of our pipes and they came out and gave us a reasonable quote. They started work a few days later since it was Thanksgiving and finished it in one day. Water back on and I'm a happy camper. Very nice team to work with us.

We had a slow drain turn into a stopped drain and after having a friend plumber snake the drain for an hour to no avail, it was clear we had a grease problem. I had Luis from Sal's come out for the completely plugged up pipe from the kitchen. He offered to hydrojet it out, but noted that it was improperly installed. I inspected and agreed. We had all of the original drain pipes in the house replaced with plastic to the main, as the originals were over 100 years old. This included removing and replacing about two square feet of concrete walkway next to the house, and opening up the foundation penetration for the drains. I am very happy with the work, even though it kind of stings to spend money on something you shouldn't notice. Luis is knowledgeable, hard working, and efficient.

Becca L.

I called Sal's plumbing at 6:45pm on a Friday for an urgent plumbing issue. The woman who answered was very friendly. Gino came out to our house right away, earlier than expected and was able to determine the issue that other plumbers had previously missed. We will definitely use Sal's again and appreciate the whole teams prompt response. Thank you!

Tried to charge my landlord $2500 for a simple leak, exposure, and repair. Gilbert's Plumbing charged $350 for the same job, and were much more professional. Also, the plumber from sals was told not to start the work, but they did anyway, and charged landlord $500 for changing a leaky facet cartridge and putting a hole in the ceiling.

Sal's plumbing is the best! We got a slab leak. No need to say that it was a nightmare to sit without water and restroom for several days. As pipes were quite old, repiping was recommended. I quoted several companies. Sadly none of them had either a clear vision on how to do repiping, or how long it would take, or how much it would finally cost. Luckily, I found Sal's plumbing, and it turned out to be the best plumbing company we ever had. I was very impressed with their performance and professionalism. My first appreciation is for Raime who clearly explained the stages of repiping and what to expect. He was always on time and took great care keeping everything organized and clean though it was extremely dusty due to plenty of open ceiling and walls. The crew of five guys worked outstandingly well. I have plenty of appreciation for Raime and everyone who helped us to get water back! Thank you guys!!!

Our garbage disposal clogged, which in turn lead to both our kitchen sinks filling with water, with water leaking under the sink and coming through the pressure valve. After going back and forth in email with another firm (via YELP), I called Sal's. The receptionist was very understanding, and offered a technician within 3.5 - 5.5 hours. An hour later I received a call that one was available 2 hours sooner. Michael arrived on time, was courteous, quickly assessed the problem and solved it quickly. We then asked him to take a look at the leak under the sink, fortunately he had the right part (as the existing one was very old and plastic - from before our time) and worked diligently to fix it. There was no upselling, and he was very patient in explaining to me the condition of the pipes (over 50 years old) and further suggested that, because of the age and condition, that we no longer use the garbage disposal. I would agree with that as it's not the first time it has clogged!

Victoria R.

They charged my daughter, who lives in Hermosa Beach, $3000 for way less than two days work. She should've gotten more bids, but is crazy busy with an escrow to move out of HB and preparing her HB place for sale and wangling a two year old. She'd just replaced the wood and baseboards in the affected bathroom, and Sal's guys got dirty black boot marks all over the brand new baseboards, which wouldn't come off with Magic Erase sponges, so now she has to re-paint the baseboards. And as she said in her review, they attempted to de-camp with their payment by leaving the big screws that bolt the toilet to the floor un -trimmed (they were sticking 4-5 inches up from the base of the toilet!!!) and without putting on the white caps that cover the screws. As I was there at the time, I said they needed to finish this part of the job, before they'd get the check. Very shoddy. She's notified her real estate agent not to recommend Sal's anymore.

Kat S.

5/20/2021

Like some of the other reviews have mentioned, I am left with a bad taste in my mouth after receiving service from Sal's. I believe I was significantly overcharged for the work performed which was removing some damaged wood and replacing a flange. Then on the last day of work, the servicemen tried to leave and collect their check without cutting the screws and putting the white caps on the bottom of the toilet. I think they thought
I wouldnt notice and I feel taken advantage of.

Professional, polite, punctual and perfect!!! Want to shout out to MIKE who went above and beyond responding to a flowing, spewing pressure leak in less than 60 minutes from the time we called -- providing courteous and polite updates on timing as he progressed from his previous call. Spent 30 minutes diagnosing (with gauges and guides) the true cause -- made a quick fix to a very elusive problem and resolved everything. Then....CHARGED US NOTHING as he found a way to salvage the old system without replacement parts or direct labor. Over 35+ years we have tried many plumbers but none matched this highest standard. Oh...and during COVID he drove up with mask, gloves and politely interacted while distancing and explaining where he needed to go within the house. Sal's Plumbing is the ONLY company we will use and the one that will be at the top of the list for our entire gated community. THANKS MIKE!

The other day I had a kitchen sink back up. It was such a mess. I called sals and talked to a gentlemen that was very friendly, to make my appointment. They arrived on time, where efficient, professional courteous and most of all very clean. Thank you to jay for being a wonderful help( he's so funny as well) I will definitely call Sal's plumbing again.

I have used Sal's Plumbing for a range of jobs, large and small. They are prompt and professional, and their estimates are very fair. Jose and Thomas did great work for me on a recent big job, putting in full days on Saturday and Sunday so I could get my house back in working order. I really appreciated how carefully they explained both the problem and the solution, and they sent me before and after pictures of plumbing underneath the house. I recommend them and this company to anyone in the area.

Alfredo P.

7/26/2015

Called them a few weeks ago because I was having water pressure issues in my home. They came out, assessed the situation and recommended I change out the buried part in my front yard. Apparently I had old metal pipes that rust out with time. I agreed on the price and they commenced work. They replaced the pipes and put my grass back as best as can be expected. I now have great pressure! Thanks guys. Will be using you guys again.

Had a leak in the wall, their guy Eric came out and had everything fixed up in just a few hours. Great guy, great service!

Nico C.

7/27/2021

Similar to other reviews... pros: quickest availability of most plumbers I contacted; cons: 50-100% more expensive than everyone else. They quoted me $400 for a shut off valve lever installation while literally every other plumber quoted me between $190-300; ended up paying $200 for it with another highly rated Yelp plumber and couldn't be happier. These guys are probably fine in an emergency where you don't mind paying high prices but if you can shop around, other places seem much cheaper.

Julia T.

2/25/2022

I called Sal's with two minor plumbing issues and received a quick response with technicians able to come out the same day. The office staff did not correctly communicate one of the issues to the tech though so initially arrived with wrong equipment. They thoroughly explained the issues to me and were able to complete the work in a couple of hours for a reasonable price. Unfortunately, one of the repairs is now leaking a few days later (unclear if this could have been avoided given age of house and underlying issues).

Salvatore came out on a Saturday and quickly diagnosed a leak in the kitchen. He removed the dishwasher and pinpointed the leak in an exterior wall. He was prompt, professional, courteous and went above and beyond with a small electrical repair. I have Sal's in my contact list as a go-to plumber!!!

Can't speak to their actual servicing of an issue, but would recommend you get additional estimates/inspections. When we called Sal's for an estimate and to look at an issue in our home, the technician did not thoroughly investigate our issue and also charged us for an inspection - not something we were told when we made the appointment. Luckily we received 3 additional estimates (none of which we were charged for) that thoroughly diagnosed the issue and came in thousands of dollars lower than the quote obtained by Sal's. Seems many in the area are happy with the Sal's but for us we have found other plumbing companies we trust more.

When my washing machine was running, it made a very loud vibration sound in the pipes. I called Sal's plumbing and they sent over a plumber quickly. Thomas diagnosed the issue and fixed it within a few hours. Now my laundry doesn't rattle the whole house. He had to cut into the drywall, but he carefully did it to expose just what he needed to fix things.

I will use Sal's plumbing for all of my future plumbing needs!

I came home to a puddle around my water heater. I remember seeing the Sal's Plumbing Van when I drive to work. I called, Pedro arrived promptly at 8am. He quickly installed a new water heater. I asked him he could also install a kitchen faucet, shower head, fix my garbage disposal & recaulk both my master & guest bath. With a smile, he said, Yes, I can do it all He promptly did it all! He was very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend them very highly!

I had a drain blockage in my kitchen sink. The the phone quote from Sal's to unplug it was the standard $98. When the plumber arrived he immediately raised the charge to $125 to disassemble the drain trap and snake the pipe. I agreed but he then failed to run the snake in far enough, approximately 30 ft., to unblock the drain. All my exposed drain pipe is PVC including the main drain under the house. However, plumber told me that I had cast iron pipes in the walls (not PVC) that was probably corroded and needed to be replaced. (Per the plumber, cast iron is a fire prevention building code requirement.) I'm not sure that this is true and felt that Sal's wanted me to agree to work that was not necessary. I paid the original $98, the plummer left and I unplugged the blockage myself with a plunger. Client beware.

These are the best plumbers I've had the pleasure of working with! Our bathroom sink had been broken for almost a year, other plumbers came and couldn't figure out what was wrong. Gino with Sal's came out and figured out the problem right away and came back the next day to do the repairs. Gino and Sal's plumbers do really great work, are friendly, and would recommend them 10/10!

Our shower drain was backed up and prevented us from taking showers. We did a quick yelp search and Sal's came highly rated. We called the office and Thomas was at our house in an hour. Thomas was quick to identify and resolve the problem, and then spent another hour providing us very helpful tips for maintenance and good health on our entire housing plumbing system, including a complimentary camera inspection of our drain leading to the sewer. Thomas went above and beyond and we've already scheduled another appointment with Sal's to fix a separate issue. Thank you Thomas!

I had a plumbing issue come up at 5pm on a Monday evening which could not wait until the morning, so i called Sal's Plumbing - the first name I came to in an online search. The person who answered my call (on 2nd ring) was extremely helpful and assured me that someone would be there between 5 and 7pm that night. Within 45 minutes, their technician was at my door. He was in a clean uniform, face mask, and even wore protective coverings over his shoes before walking inside. Within 30 minutes, he efficiently resolved the clog and did not leave until he tested the plumbing several times to make sure the problem was completely resolved. The technician was polite, friendly, and professional. I could not have been happier. Sal's is my #1 Go-To service provider for all plumbing issues from now on. Thank you!!

Honest service....

My bathroom sink was clogged and I had tried all the home remedies (vinegar/drano) and had given up. I called to get someone to come and they arrived that afternoon. Joey came that day and seemed like an honest guy. He came and quickly diagnosed the issue and carefully explained how it was clogged and how to fix this in the future. I know this is potentially bad for revenue, but this was so honest and i will ask him for the future. They made a customer for life. He assessed the clog and also checked water pressure. He went above an beyond and my have been one of the best home service calls I have had in some time.

Trust them and ask for Joey!

Had another great experience with Sal's Plumbing! Our kid's bathroom sink was draining slowing and after several rounds of declogger we called Sal's and set up an appt.

The lady on the phone was very professional and so was the Martin, the plumber who came to help. He finished the job in about a half hour and the sink was fixed!

Our girls will be happy to have their sink back so thanks Martin and everyone at Sal's.

I called Sal's Plumbing to get some outdoor drains cleared with a hydro jet. A plumber named Marvin was assigned to the job. He was fantastic. I've never worked with a plumber who worked so hard to get those drains cleared! Even when it seemed like the drains would not clear, he never gave up. Very happy with this company.

12/09/2020 12:00:00 SA

Dave from Sal's Plumbing came out to my house today to fix my garbage disposal and he got it working right away! This is much appreciated.
I won't hesitate to reach out to Dave in the future should the garbage disposal break entirely.

Thanks again Dave.

06/04/2019 12:00:00 SA

Awesome Plummers! Called these guys out for a stopped up kitchen sink. Got me a same day appointment and was able to clear the blockage in a couple hours. Fast and friendly service with a smile. Kept me up to date on their progress and what they thought was the problem until they found a solution. Call these guys for all your plumbing needs. I know I will. You should too.

Monika M.

Sal's is always available to take care of any and all plumbing needs! Their techs are always timely, knowledgeable and professional, and can always get our issues resolved when we need them to. I recommend them to anyone in search of plumbing assistance!

when my normal plumber couldn't get there for an emergency water heater explosion, I called them immediately based on great Yelp reviews. The receptionist was friendly and synthetic. Quick and efficient. They came right over, sorted out the problem and we're absolutely wonderful. Reliable, friendly, timely, and efficient. great plumbers. Call them for an emergency. Call them for water heater leak down, or water heater breakdown. I'll be certain to call them for everything.

Pam S.

2/16/2018

WOW!!!!called Sal's for a backed up kitchen double sink with neighbors recommendation. Fidel was at my house in less than 45 minuets. He quickly found the problem and cleared the drains. Fidel also gave us some helpful plumbing tips to prevent such issues in the future. We will definitely use SAL's again and recommend them to anyone needing a plumber.

David W.

02/03/2022 12:00:00 SA

Water heater broke, they charged an arm and leg to get it replaced. Almost double what you can get it for online not to mention they get wholesale price, paid the high price thinking they would fix/patch the water damage and they didn't. Just demanded I pay the invoice....

Paul Gilles B.

7/19/2022

Excellent results. I had a slow draining kitchen sink. Called Roto Rooter first. They wanted over $300. They were here for more than four hours and made the problem worse. Called Sal's and they were within an hour. They cleared the clog in less than 45 minutes for a 1/3 of the money. Highly recommend.

When i had a issue with my tub being backed up and not draining water, my feet had their own personal swimming pool for days and days. Finally i was tired of it and found Sal's here on yelp. Plumber was out on the same day and gave me a courtesy call before showing up. Joe came by and told me what needed to be done, i approved and let him do his thing. The guy was solid! he got in and out of there in under 45 minutes and snaked out whatever was clogging up the drain. This is the kind of service people dream of when dealing with plumbers - On time, Friendly, and professional throughout the whole process from beginning to end.

Sals plumbing is awesome. I have referred multiple people to this company now and people have thanked me for my referral

We called Sal's plumbing to help unclog our kitchen sink during memorial day weekend and Dave was able to help us the same day. Dave was super communicative and let us know when they were on the way. When Dave arrived he was super friendly and was in and out within an hour. He also was patient to find out what clogged the sink and even answered all our questions. Would definitely use them again !

Thank you !

I am a property manager and I have done hundreds if not thousands of plumbing calls... every plumbing ad in the South Bay says they are open 24/7... but what you find is that they do not answer, they don't call back and they often tell you they can fix it the next day. Sal's on the other hand is local, they answer their phone immediately... no recordings, menus, voice mails... a real guy named Joe sends out a real plumber promptly and they take care of business. My tenants have said good things about the plumbers who work late hours for Sal's.. I will use them again for sure.

Ken S.

7/13/2015

I had a clog in my toilet and bathtub, it was an emergency and they were very nice and professional,and were here very quickly, it means more to me than most because my dad is very sick and needed the toilet, they were also very reasonably price, I will tell all my friends and will call them whenever I have a pluming problem, thanks very much guy`s!!!!!!!!!

Love Sals!! They are the best!! Thomas came to our house to fix our bathroom bathtube drain. I am very happy with the service! I called Sal's this morning and they sent Thomas a couple hours later. I highly recommend Sal's for any plumbing issues.

Worst service ever. If I could give a negative rating, I would. Who doesn't clean up after a service?!???!
They came to clean out a leaking sewer line for a 4 unit apartment building and did not clean up afterwards. Just left raw feces in a pile on our back deck. Not only was the smell toxic but the massive colony of fruit flies is sickening. There are children living in this complex! The lack of pride in their work as well as the complete disregard for public safety is completely appalling and unacceptable. Our landlord had to call a second company to re-do what Sal's Plumbing clearly did not do care to correct. Their shoddy and incomplete workbacked up again 2 days later. Seriously ready to report them to the better business bureau. Do not use them!!

Raquel C.

This is a warning for potential customers of this business who are searching by Yelp. I have a leak. Asked for someone to come out and see what is involved and write an estimate. Water filter under house is leaking. They charge $98 to go under the house! Not $95 or $100. Strange.... If they can see the problem without going under it is free!? Doesn't make much sense but my leak is visible. Guy got there. Saw the leak without going under the house. Didn't say anything and starts crawling under. I asked him if I would be billed for it. They he replies, yes. To go five feet! No thanks. Straightforward job but they lost it. Sal's has good reviews but I know what some plumbers are like. Who charges for an estimate? This is a classic Gotcha move.

I contacted Sal's Plumbing and had scheduled an appointment for the following day. Shortly after scheduling my appointment, Jeff, a representative from the company called and asked if he could send somebody over that day. Definitely a benefit for me, as my sewer trap was clogged.

A representative from the company, Gino, came over and greeted me with a warm handshake and thank you for choosing Sal's Plumbing. He looked over the trap and advised me of the cost to perform the job. I give Gino a lot of credit, a sewer trap does not smell like roses and the looks of it...

Gino ran his plumbing snake through the trap and instantly cleared it out. He then proceeded to run it a couple more times to ensure it was all cleared out. He said tree roots were penetrating the sewer pipe, but the snake removed most of it.

Sal's Plumbing is definitely a company you should add to your contact list, with a request for Gino to come out.

Sal's Plumbing went above and beyond when installing a new earthquake valve along with associated piping. My earthquake valve has been on the fritz and eventually I couldn't manually fix it anymore. I called Sal's last week during the late morning and I explained I have 3 kids, live in grandma and guest coming over that evening. I explained I need my gas to operate well and fixed the same day. Few minutes later, I got an appointment scheduled for the same day. Once the plumbers arrived, they assessed the problem, then left to retrieve the parts, and when they returned they replaced and fixed the issue. The gas started flowing 15 minutes before my guess arrived. In the past I used them for many other issues and they took care of it. Thanks Sal.

01/12/2020 12:00:00 SA

Thomas was such a huge help. He worked so hard to clear a clog 50 feet down our kitchen drain pipe. He was patient reassuring and hard working. We have used Sals Plumbing several times. They are fair. But more important the value is huge. Thank you Thomas!

09/07/2019 12:00:00 SA

I needed my clogged main drain to be unclogged asap since it morning time and I have 2 kids and no working toilets in the house. Called few companies from Yelp and sal's among them.

They were the fastest to arrive and take care of the problem for a very reasonable price.
Pedro was was the person who came over, very polite and easy to convey the issues on hand and suggested a future fix if this will happen again.

Highly recommended and thanks for the quick response

Nick was called in to look at my galvanized natural gas pipe rotting from 20 years of constant dog pee. He removed 5 of concrete and dug down another 5 inches to expose the 90 degree pipe elbow. Nick and his team then used a pipe wrench to remove the rotted pipe and replaced with a new pipe and everything turned out great. Was friendly, on time, and worked hard to get everything done in one day.

An update. Owner Joe was super patient and incredibly helpful dancing the dance with my home warranty company, speaking with them on multiple occasions and providing a number of different invoices/breakdowns to comply with what they wanted to see. We got back $1400 thanks to his help!

Our Kitchen sink got stinky after a backup was cleaned out. I called Sal's since I've seen them working on my neighbors plumbing and heard good things. It was finally time to replace 80 year old plumbing. Sergio and Frank did a great job on replacing drainage pipes under the house.

Tara C.

08/05/2016 12:00:00 SA

Yesterday afternoon, we noticed water buildup around our water meter. Contacted Joe first thing this morning and he had his technician, Mario, at our house within the hour. Of course, we were expecting something major to have caused the water build up, but Mario thankfully found an old worn washer no longer doing its job and immediately replaced it. If you're looking for honest, prompt, professional, and reasonably priced plumbing Sal's plumbing should be your first call!

Sara N.

01/06/2023 12:00:00 SA

Sal's plumbing was easy to make an appointment with. They gave me a time frame to expect the plumber (3-5 pm). At 3:10, The plumber called me to tell me he was running a little bit behind and gave me an ETA, which was highly appreciated.

Pricing is upfront but the parts are marked up very high, maybe due to my location of Redondo Beach. However, they won't overcharge you for unnecessary things and are not pushy with their recommendations. I'd use them again!

Brad G.

12/06/2018 12:00:00 SA

We've called Sal's a few times for toilet backups. They arrived on time and the guys are very nice. He even put booties on his shoes before coming in the house since it was raining outside. Overall each experience has been a very pleasant one.

Daisy Q.

3/24/2021

I'm giving these guys 5 stars for being such nice people. We had an emergency situation today.
They were really helpful and sent someone within the hour. The problem had actually resolved in that time. Rather than being short or difficult the plumber in person (Mike) and customer services on the phone were kind and said not to worry about it.

We have used this company before and they resolved a tricky drainage issue in a day. Martin who was the plumber that day was brilliant and very respectful.

I wish all trades people were this good. I can't recommend them more.

Ryan F.

Nick and his crew did an excellent job replacing the majority of the gas lines under my house. Would definitely recommend them.

Just had a visit from Sal's plumbing. We had a leak in our kitchen sink. Called Sal's, said they would be there between 4:30 and 6:00. Thomas was there at 4:30 I was late. I was also dealing with my fussy six month old who decided he was starving at that very moment. Thomas with great. He came, looked, diagnosed the problem, gave us an estimate, fixed the angle stop in less time than it took me to feed my kid. Thanks for the great work.

Steve N.

11/21/2019

These guys have been my go-to for years, I can't believe I've never given them a yelp review! First of all, I've always felt safe having any of them in my home, that's number one for me. They're always respectful and polite and whatnot. I've never been cheated, or left with a problem, they just have fantastic ethic and I really trust them. And! The gals on the phone are ALWAYS great, every single time!

Last week we had an issue where our shower facet in the bathroom started running out of the blue and making a screeching noise. It was 9pm at night. I found Sal's information on line stating 24 hour service. I called and spoke with Joe who was very accommodating. Pedro arrived 30 minutes later. He told us that he needed to replace the shower cartridge and tried to find a store that was open so that he could finish the job. It turns out he could not find the part that night, but he returned the next morning by 10am to fix the facet. Pedro was very polite and professional. He reinstalled the new cartridge a few time until the facet was not leaking. Our facet in the shower has been working perfectly since. I would definitely recommend Sal's Plumbing. I found everyone that we worked with extremely courteous, honest and professional.

Dave Y.

Did such great work, installed new 50 gap water heater on 2nd floor. Cleaned up the entire closet, fixed all the venting and pipes. So nice to have work done this well. Plumbing is hard work and these guys came at the end of what I'm sure was a long day and didn't cut any corners, stayed well after dark, and were very courteous and professional. Worth the premium and so glad I didn't cut corners to save a few bucks

We live in a house in Redondo Beach with very troublesome plumbing - had multiple sinks with smelly water bubbling up on an early Friday evening. Our regular plumber was booked until the next day so called Sal's. Thomas came out with Jose and they were fantastic. Confident, extremely competent and experienced and very personable (and masked). They got the job done quickly and efficiently and explained everything clearly. Price was extremely reasonable especially considering plumbing is hard work and this was a Friday night emergency. Will definitely be using them again. Highly recommended.

I called Sal's plumbing because my kitchen sink was clogged. They replied right away, and I was able to schedule an appointment the same day which was a Sunday. When the plumber arrived he was professional and efficient. After he assessed the situation and explained what needed to be done he went to work cleaning the problem. When he was finished he cleaned up the area and gave me advice in preventing this in the future. I would definitely use them again if needed.

James Y.

11/29/2022

The entire experience was excellent. From appointment scheduling, communication and professionalism. I was able to get the water pressure in my master bathroom and lack of hot water in my guest bathroom issues all solved in an afternoon. Tony was an ACE! Will definitely do business again.

Sarah H.

7/17/2021

I was super impressed with the person who I talked to on the phone and she was very clear about an estimate for how much it would be and told me that I was able to get somebody to come out within 45 minutes. The person that came to my door was very polite and very prompt. Came in he looked at it he gave me a price on the spot and had it all done quickly. In less time than it took for my landlords to think about my request and then tell me they would send someone out for me in two days, my bathroom drain was open and the water was flowing. Next time I won't waste time and I will just call Sal's first.

I just had the most amazing experience with Sal's Plumbing. I recently had two toilets that were completely clogged and I needed someone to help me out as soon as possible. That's when Sal's Plumbing came to my rescue. They were extremely quick in providing me with a fix for the issue. Within a matter of minutes, Bryan was at my doorstep ready to help us with everything.

Bryan was an absolute savior. He came in and got down to work immediately. He was extremely professional and courteous during his time at my house. He made sure that he left my house as clean as possible when he finished his work. I was also having some issues with water pressure in my sink and he was gracious enough to take a look at that too. It's little things like that which make Sal's Plumbing stand out from the rest.

The best part about Sal's Plumbing is their efficiency. They understand that plumbing issues can be a nightmare for homeowners, which is why they are so prompt and quick to respond. They provide a fantastic service experience, and I couldn't be happier. Bryan was knowledgeable and patient, and he provided us with incredibly useful tips to keep our toilets in top shape.

I would definitely recommend Sal's Plumbing to everyone I know. They provided me with quick and efficient services, and they were always available to answer any of my questions. Their prices are incredibly reasonable, and their service is nothing short of exceptional. It's great to know that there are plumbing companies like Sal's out there that homeowners can count on in times of need.

Highly recommend working with this company! I called for a plumbing blockage at 7. Thomas was here by 745. Talk about service! Thomas was phenomenal. Had the problem fixed in under 30 minutes and took the time to show us the blockage via video camera within the pipes. I wouldn't use another company other than them going forward. Call them !

Crooks! Crooks! Crooks! BEWARE! STAY AWAY!

Got them out today to unclog a shower, guys by the name of Luis and Jesus, they gave me an $8,000 quote to re-pipe all our plumbing under the house. I said to Luis to just unclog the drain. He takes the snake into the shower, said he ran it for 10 feet and everything is good. Shower was a mess so I asked him to use the hand shower to wash it off. AND guess what??? It was and is still clogged!!!! I said I will call the office to see what is going on with all their pricing and changes and what we need to do. While I was on hold for about 5 minutes with the office, the guys got back in their van and just left!!!

I am going to tell everyone I know and hopefully you will too.

I've been dealing with a sewer main issue for years, and finally had it with the ongoing hassle and stress with roots at multiple places between the clay joints. After contacting a number of local companies, and receiving different advice and quotes all over the board, I finally decided to go with Thomas at Sal's. First, he was willing to have a conversation, to explain what was happening, and options. In my case, it was recommended that I do the trenchless replacement. Second, there was no pressure, as I was needed to think about it for a couple months due to the expense. Third, Thomas was communicative before and during, to let me know what was happening, finished the work as scheduled and kept things as tidy and back to normal as before. Go with what works for you and meets your specific needs. I am very satisfied with their work and our interactions. I would recommend Thomas for small and large jobs alike, as he works hard, is friendly, patient and professional.

Called on Sunday. They were very punctual and provided excellent service.
Thomas was the best, he assessed and took care of the problem quickly. He explained the issue and left the work area cleaner than before he began. Would definitely recommend and will be calling for his excellent service for any future plumbing issue.

Have used Sal's several times. Initially to replace the pipes in the front yard. At first there were some issues with the sink and toilet running a little bit slow but Martin took extra time, working into the evening to make sure things were running smoothly and that I would have water that night. He also put in a water pressures regulator valve afterwards. No issues. Martin was always polite, informative and responsive to questions and when any issues came. Follow through was great.

Recently, Dominic Q helped put in my air gap for my dishwasher. I kinda felt bad for him. The employee the day before said he needed to be the parts before he could install but no one told him so he had to make an extra trip. He was able to get it fixed pretty quickly and was friendly too.

I also use Mattucci plumbing sometimes. Although I think they are pretty good too and it varies which one quotes the higher price, they usually are busy or can't come during the time frame of my busy schedule. Appreciate the quickness of Sal's coming out each time!

We had two incidents in two weeks. First, a leak in a hot water line above our kitchen; the tech arrived on time, quickly zeroed in on the location (he had to go into the ceiling) and fixed it promptly. The cost was very reasonable. The tech was clean, polite, friendly and explained everything. Most importantly, he fixed it FAST.

Second issue was also in the kitchen, a leaky faucet. We had the replacement faucet handy, so when the tech showed up (again, clean, polite, friendly and ON TIME) he got it fixed in half an hour. Quote and final price matched.

I am very happy with Sal's and will be using them again. Highly recommended.

Mike came out and really helped me with his advice w/o charging for his time or anything as it turned out I didn't need a plumber service yet. Definitely would go for Sal's plumbing in the future if I ever need them again.

Amazing service by Sal's Plumbing!

I had a bathroom sink drainage issue, and the sewage was flowing back all over the place so it was a kind of emergency for me. I contacted Sals, one of their dispatchers listened to the issue I am having and understood that I am in urgent need. Afterward, their plumbers came to my home in less than 30 minutes. They did a preliminary root-cause inspection, and later full inspection to resolve the issue from the root. Then they walked me through the problem I have in my plumbing and gave me a different option with reasonable quotes. I was very happy with their approach to issue resolution; thus I immediately went with one of the options. Since they figured out the root cause it was then a piece of cake to fix the issue. Their plumbers were fully equipped and skilled to perform their job. Once they finished their work, they cleared the area and I checked it, of course, it was working very fine. In the end, I was very content with the way they handled the urgent situation. They were very respectful towards me and my property. As a small business owner and a woman, I would definitely recommend their service to anyone.

Thank you, team Sal's Plumbing!

*edit* 1/23/2018
The owner kindly contacted myself and my mother immediately after hearing of this. He gave us a full refund for the visit and apologized for the misunderstanding. He also asked permission to personally call my mother to hear exactly what happened between her and the plumber, and explain why they pushed for the full unit replacement. I have adjusted the review and rating because I appreciate how quickly the issue was handled and how honest and professional the owner was with my mother.

The reason I have adjusted Sal's a 4star instead of 5 is because I appreciate the legitimate concern for the customer from the owner, but the plumber never left his name with my mother.

*original*
The pilot light on our water heater in our house went out suddenly on January 20, 2018 (Saturday morning). My mother called every plumber in the area and most could not come out until Monday. Sal's was nice enough to send a guy over around 5pm for a $98 fee. The fee is reasonable for a Saturday visit and short notice, but that's not the reason they get 1 star.

The plumber arrives and takes a look at the heater. He tells my mother that the thermocouple is broken and it is a special part that cannot be purchased in stores. He then tells my mother that if we wanted hot water today we needed to replace the entire unit and it would cost $1800. My brother and I stopped her on the spot, went to google, and found this special part on Home Depot's website for $12.

So the plumber leaves and we shower with cold water for a day. In the morning, my brother goes to Home Depot, buys the $12 part, watches some youtube videos, and fixes the thermocouple himself. Granted, my brother is an Engineer, so he knows his way around a tool box and simple electrical fixes. The pilot light stays on and the heater works again. A different plumber from another company was already coming to our house on Monday January 22, 2018 to fix a draining issue in our washing machine. He took a quick look at the repair my brother performed on the heater and praised him for being both smart and lucky.

We had a semi clogged kitchen sink (it would drain slowly but clearly we needed professional help). Called Sal's on a recommendation from our handy man. Appointment was set for same day and the person running the phone / dispatch was reliable and professional.

A plumber came to the house. He arrived on time but from the moment he was there, it felt like he was rushing. He kept asking questions we didn't have answers to and then jumped to a conclusion after 3 mins that our garbage disposal was broken. He worked on the pipes for another 5 mins and then brought in his snake after we asked him to. His snake job was half assed and he only did one side of the sink pipes. He said we likely needed to do a high pressure wash (verbally in the $1500+ range) and he'd have to go under the house but maybe we didn't have to. We asked him to address the clogged sink and he then quoted us $650 (parts and labor) to replace the garbage disposal. This price is RIDICULOUS, especially after asking around. The Badger unit is about $125 so they were charging $500+ in labor for a job that takes 30-60 minutes.

The sink was now entirely clogged and not draining at all. He left the water and was pressing us for a decision to replace the garbage disposal. I paid him the $135 that was quoted for the snake job, despite the fact he actually made it worse. I just wanted him to go away, clearly not the right person for this job. This guy (while he was nice) was a total miss as a professional as far as I'm concerned. It's clear he is incentivized to upsell more expensive services, which created the behavior.

I had to call Sal's back (after calling to pay them for the service), explain the situation and request another plumber to actually drain the sink. They sent another guy out same day who fixed the issue within about 5 mins. He went in with his hands and pulled out the clog... something his colleague could have easily done if he was being even a bit thorough. The second plumber was confused about the quote and seemed like he didn't want to comment, we both just wanted to finish the sink job and move on with our days.

Overall, Sal's addressed the issue after $135 and two different visits. I can't recommend this business though given the treatment from their plumber who was behaving really strange, clearly had a sales agenda and left us high and dry in worse shape. No thank you. Your ludicrous paper quote you mailed me is in the recycle bin.

I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing. The woman who scheduled my appointment was very pleasant and accommodating. My plumber was Pedro. He arrived on time, was very nice and did a great job. The last time my kitchen sink was clogged, I used a different company. The plumber from that company made a total mess in my kitchen. And I was charged $100 more than Sal's Plumbing charged me. I will definitely call Sal's Plumbing the next time I am in need of a plumber.

I called and specifically asked if they could find a leak in my house, they confirmed they have leak detection equipment and would bring it the next day. When the technician arrived he told me he didn't have the equipment, didn't know how to use it, and that nobody was available to come over for it so I should just call someone else.

I wasted a whole day without water in my house waiting for this. Don't trust them if they tell you they'll do leak detection for you.

Thomas showed up on time, and was one of the friendliest plumbers that I've met. I will totally call Sal's again and recommend them to friends!

Mona C.

12/31/2021

My kitchen backed up and I called 2 companies: Rooter Hero & Sal's. Rooter hero wanted almost $500 and Thomas from Sal's did it for $250 w/o upselling me or trying to do unnecessary work, like Rooter Hero.

Thomas was awesome and saved New Years for us! Thank you, Sal's!

I had an issue under the sink in the master bathroom that needed to be addressed immediately. I called Sal's and the receptionist was kind, friendly and informative. This was actually the only business that answered my call directly and didn't forward me to an answering machine. She scheduled a crew and they arrived at my house in under an hour. The crew was great. They solved the issue and gave me a fair price. They also provided recommendations for preventative future measures. Highly recommend!

Had a kitchen sink back up on a Sunday morning. Found Sal's in Redondo Beach by my house based on all the excellent reviews. They scheduled an appointment with me right away and showed up exactly when they said. Thomas was very professional and knowledgable and knew exactly the source of the problem and how to fix it. He was very clean and careful snaking the line and he made suggestions on some changes that would eliminate future problems. I couldn't be happier with their service and price especially for a Sunday service call.

We would never call Sal's plumbing again. Show up on time but completely missed the problem we were having with our water heater. We called the manufacturer and they recommended a plumber and was fixed in a half hour.

05/08/2020 12:00:00 SA

We have had to call this company twice and have been very impressed both times with their service. Their prices are fair and definitely worth it.

These guy are great. Unforteutnly, I needed a good plumber. Went to Yelp and saw they had good reviews in the South Bay and called them up. 1st issue was a pipe behind a wall that caused massive leak. They arrived 2 hours after my call. They went through the wall, found the needle size hole in the pipe and welded it back up. Mike and his team are great. Always fast, informative, and reliable.

Caitlin M.

2/21/2021

Thomas came to fix our stopped sink drain. He took the time to explain the pipes in our 1960s house and the typical maintenance issues that may come up. Have had this company out to the house a few times, always happy with the work. Would recommend to family and friends. Reliable and responsive.

10/04/2022 12:00:00 SA

My upstairs bathroom sink was clogged and draining into my tub. Thomas came out the same day I called and fixed it very quickly. He was very professional and did an awesome job!! I highly recommend this company (especially Thomas)! He was very friendly and didn't try to overcharge me. I will definitely hire them again. Thank you!!

Cherish H.

07/07/2023 12:00:00 SA

Outstanding Service.
Same Day Service. I made call in the morning. Wilson arrived a few hours later.
Wilson fixed, replaced and repaired part of a damaged underground water pipe in the backyard. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and professional.
Thank you to Sal's Plumbing for sending a very skilled and capable plumber.

Mike M.

4/27/2020

Had a couple of stubborn antiquated angle stops on my upstairs sink that needed replacing. I found them on yelp around 4 this afternoon and they were at my place before 5:30. Thomas and his coworker were clean in appearance, and they put shoe covers on, and both were masked. Courteous, friendly, and professional. They came in, assessed the job, went back to the van for tools and knocked out the job in no time! It was also nice to find a crew that can carry on a light conversation and work at the same time. A pleasure to do business with! Will definitely use them again if the need arises.

Chris P.

10/16/2018

Had Sals come out to unclog a drain. Great job nice guys. They were punctual, and professional. The guy also looked at my sink which had a problem. He was very forthcoming with information. Just wanted to post and say thank.

Update. Rep came out today to give me a few quotes, VERY DISAPPOINTED. The quotes were WAY overpriced.

While trying to remove an old garden hose I broke the old copper pipe right off. The break was also on the main water line into the house! No good. It happened at 430 pm on a Sunday and Sals was at my house by 7. The pipe was fixed by 8. Thanks so much guys. Glad we didn't have to go a night without water.

Anne B.

Very nice and easy to talk to. They did the work quickly and as painlessly as possible. We'll call them again.

05/07/2018 12:00:00 SA

Our water heater broke and had been leaking for a few days and we were without hot water. I asked for quotes online from several different plumbers and Sal's called me within 15 mins of my request. They sent Mark over at 2:00 to look at the situation and he was able to install a new water heater by the time I got home from my yoga class at 5:30. Pricing seemed fair for what we got and now we are back in business with hot water and smiles! The even took our old water heater with them as part of the service. WINNING in Redondo Beach and no more stinky cheese family members!

The toilet wasn't flushing when we had renters in the house and we needed a plumber ASAP. I called a lot of different places but Sal's had someone answering the phones and responded quickly and sent someone out. That's when we met Thomas, on a Saturday night he snaked the pipe and cleared it out. He used a camera and saw roots growing into the main pipe. Our system backed up again within the month and we knew we had to change out the main line. Thomas and team came out and worked really hard replacing the main sewer line. They were reliable and informative and pleasant to work with. We were very happy with their service and will use them again in the future for any plumbing issues. Thomas always responds quickly and I'm very happy to have met him.

Naomi S.

04/05/2021 12:00:00 SA

We are renters and have used Sal's Plumbing 3 or 4 times since we have lived in our rental. They are always quick to come out and help solve any problem we are having. Both Thomas and David communicated the issues very clearly to me and to my landlord. Thomas spent 6+ hours replacing pipes under our house in one day and had to squeeze into a tiny crawl space! He didn't complain once. This is a very reliable company with smart and professional plumbers that I would strongly recommend.

Happy with quality of work, quality of service and reasonable prices.

Would definitely recommend.

11/04/2017 12:00:00 SA

Wow! I had a sudden Saturday water heater failure and called Sal's because that was the name of the former owner had written on the appliance. I'm so glad I did. They got right out here, identified the problem, and had it fixed in a couple hours at a very fair price. Our worker was terrific. He told me exactly what was going on, made good suggestions, and even got along with my yappy little dog. I could not be happier with these guys, and they're on my speed dial for future problems.

I travel a lot back and fourth for work so I have a house in Arizona and California. My house in Redondo Beach kept getting pinhole leaks. I was getting tired of spending $400 here $600 there to keep fixing these pinholes. So my husband and I decided to go ahead and re-pipe our house. We called around to get quotes from all the known plumbing companies around the area they were giving me some outrageous prices. Luckily I was able to find Sals plumbing. They sent me a reasonable quote so I told them to start the job right away. The technician that was in charge of the job was Jay. He did the most he could to make me feel comfortable with what was going on in my house since I couldn't be there. Taking pictures sending me videos making phone calls giving me updates he did an amazing job. I definitely recommend Sals plumbing for any of your plumbing needs.

Quoted 2x+ the bid of our usual plumber (who was booked that week). Was going to do work not up to code - ie pipe needed to be in ground lower than a foot and was at 6 inches. Tried to upsell on a part that our usual plumber included at 1/2 the bid. Don't accept that you live in Beach Cities that you need to pay 200% the cost being paid in the rest of LA.

Susan P.

04/04/2022 12:00:00 SA

After trying to fix my own problem a few days I called Sal and they offered to be here within a few hours!
I have a few pets and they love Thomas, the plumber that usually comes to fix my problems. Gotta trust your pets instincts! He puts on boot covers and cleans up really well after his repair. He saw that my towel rack was broken and grabbed a few screws so I could fix it correctly. A+++ for Sal's plumbing and Thomas the plumber. Thank you!!

Diana T.

04/04/2021 12:00:00 SA

Sal's plumbing was able to come same day and even sooner than originally scheduled. Mike was wearing a mask and gloves. He was very professional. Thankfully the issue was with landscaping sprinkler system and not piping. Mike took the time to explain and was thorough.

I would definitely contact Sal's again for any plumbing needs

Joan H.

12/28/2018

Had a bad back up in my bathroom sink, called a different plumbing service at first and was treated very rudely. When I called Sal's they were very accommodating and gave me an appointment that worked for me. Thomas showed up right on time and was very thorough in cleaning the blockage. I would highly recommend Sal's plumbing!

Ben C.

08/08/2021 12:00:00 SA

We had a leak in our ceiling on a Sunday night. We called Sal's pretty desperate and they sent Thomas over right away. Within an hour he was here, he found the leak and fixed it all within 2 hours. Great service. Would definitely use them again.

Drew H.

8/14/2020

Thank you for coming out on short notice, getting the job done, and charging a fair price. I had a leak coming through my drywall in my garage. Gino from Sal's came out in a matter of minutes. He was personable and did a great job. It was a small hole in one of the copper pipes which he fixed for us. I will definitely consider using Sal's again if we have plumbing issues!!

08/12/2019 12:00:00 SA

Sal's Plumbing responded to my call on a Sunday recently and came out in an hour. Their plumber did an excellent job fixing the problem with our garden hose bib that was gushing water everywhere! Their price was reasonable too! I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing to everyone!

Barry S.

7/31/2018

I called Sal's Plumbing to come out and fix a bathtub where the hot water wasn't working and to look at a shower that was dripping. Nice enough guy, but over charged me at every possible turn. Didn't fix the tub because he couldn't figure it out, but replaced the shower valves and proceeded to break the old fixtures so they needed to be replaced. After breaking the old fixtures I was pretty much stuck, so I had to give him permission to replace the set up. Should have cost maybe $250 at the very most for everything. NOPE! It was $583. Gouge the customer when you have him over a barrel.

Chris R.

7/26/2020

Great service (same day I called). Showed up with a mask and quickly resolved the issue with our shower drain (~10 to 15 mins). Highly recommend.

04/06/2022 12:00:00 SA

Called for a major repair job. They came in less than an hour and anlized the job and described in detail what needed to be done. I was very pleased with the communication and step by step explanation. First time using these guys and now I have them saved in my contacts. Great job and friendly.

Lia F.

4/19/2021

Sal's plumbing came out to help with a completely stopped up kitchen sink. The access to the clean out was not easy. But they still got the job done quickly and for a fair price. They also gave an accurate quote, arrived on time, and had a positive, professional, approach to the work and gave me some tips on preventing a future clog. Two thumbs up. I would call them again.

Heidi L.

12/18/2017

Thomas and the team at Sal's Plumbing team did a great job and were very professional. I would definitely recommend them.

I had called 8 other Plumbing services and the team at Sal's Plumbing were the only plumbing service that picked up my call. They have a great call center. I called on a Saturday and was able to have someone check out my problem that same day.

They fixed my clogged shower drain and replaced the old metal pipe within an hour.

Very thankful to have a working shower again.

I had a toilet and tub backup that caused sewage water to leak all over a downstairs bathroom. Marvin from Sal's Plumbing diagnosed the problem quickly and cleaned out our main line. I was very happy with his work, professionalism, and communication about what he was doing to fix the problem. I was also very pleased with the customer service provided by Wendy in the office when I called in the early evening and explained that we had an emergency situation. She was able to get a plumber to come out within the hour and managed to schedule it so that we were not paying the after-hours rate. I thought the fees for the plumbing work were reasonable. I would definitely use Sal's Plumbing in the future.

Carlos D.

07/12/2022 12:00:00 SA

As a first time home owner I had an excellent experience with Sal's Plumbing when I had issues with my water heater. Customer service was great as it's always nice to hear a friendly voice to immediate scheduling. Dave was the plumber very knowledgeable and able to break down the issue for me to understand. I look forward to continuing with Sal's Plumbing as my regular!

Jay S.

7/29/2021

If you want on time reliability, then you definitely should hire them. Called same day they arrived within the hour. The guy was nice friendly and got the job done. Even cleaned up after himself. I owe a small business and without my plumbing my salon can not run. Definitely will hire for future jobs.

Howard W.

2/16/2022

I can't say enough good things about Sal's plumbing. Had a small leak under the house that I needed fixing immediately. They had someone on site within an hour of me calling them. They explained on the phone that there was an upfront fee if the technician had to go under the house which I was more than happy to pay if the problem could get solved. So no hidden charges and complete honesty. 45 minutes later Enrique was done and water flowed once more. Friendly staff, fast response and a fast solution to the problem! One of the best businesses I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I'll be sure to call them in the future.

THANK YOU SAL'S PLUMBING (AND ESPECIALLY ENRIQUE!)

I called at 1pm and was able to get someone out between the hours of 2-4pm same day for a non emergency. Thomas arrived at 3 pm. He quickly assessed a couple really old toilets and said they were not worth trying to fix. We could get a new toilet for less! One was leaking due to age and the other already had the guts replaced and was still having issues. Who knew I could get a decent toilet for $98?! (Plus labor).

Thomas snaked my shower drain that was clogged. Then we picked out a new toilet on Home Depot's site. He went and picked them up, lugged them up to the third floor and disposed of the other toilets. Worth every penny and he was quick and efficient. Happy customer. Thank you!

Timothy F.

3/30/2021

I called Sal's on a Saturday after the drain pipe cracked in my rental unit. They got a tech there in a couple hours and gave me a thorough assessment with pricing. While they were there, they helped my tenants install flex seal tape (we bought) to hold the pipe until they returned. After we agreed on the scope and price, they returned Monday with parts and did everything as promised. Great work at an honest price. Jose was especially great and the women answering the phones were friendly, too.

8/15/2020

During a pandemic and on very short notice, a technician arrived at my apartment with a mask, gloves, foot covers and an electric snake. He arrived promptly (within an hour after my call) and fixed my shower in minutes. Really great service! Also inspected our piping to ensure no damage! Definitely would recommend especially if time is of the essence!

Horrible Customer Service! I paid almost 300 dollars to have my kitchen sink snaked. It was backing up to my adjoining bathtub. The work was done only approximately 45 days ago. The problem was temporarily resolved. But we later discovered the problem continued to back up again. I contacted Sals, in which I explained to them. They told me their work is only guaranteed 30 days! They told me they can't do anything for me! They can only send someone out again to fix what they didn't fix the first time! She didn't even offer me a discounted price or try to accommodate my family household problem. It seem to me they made their money and very satisfied with that!! Horrible Customer Service!!!!!!!!! Beware!

Randy H.

Thomas came up in a timely manner on Friday evening. He went above and beyond to fix our blocked drain. Going underneath our house is difficult, but Thomas even took videos so we could see where the leak was. Even though he did extra work the reasonable price was the same as quoted.

Called Sal's to help with a leaking diverter in my parents' shower/tub. David arrived right on time and were very friendly, courteous, and got the job done quickly and without issue.

As a matter of fact, my mom was vacuuming the patio, and David called me first to meet him outside instead of just entering the patio and scaring my mom who had no idea he was waiting outside. Its the little things like that put you over the top when the job is otherwise well done.

Update on my review before, I had a chance to go the attic to check the re-piping done before .
My attic is like a trash dumpster..... un-used plastic pipes left there, half drinking water bottles, old copper pipes insulation tubes left there after installers took away the used copper pipes to recycle for cash, most insulation blankets where repiped with plastic pipes were lifted up without put it back .... On on .
The photos attached are taken within a few feet from the access of the attic. I believe I would find more trash and disappointment, especially the west side the cold water is over 100F in the afternoon .

Unfortunately, the back office or management has no concept of customer service or how to be flexible. I paid a lot of money for a prior service and would have continued using them for other issues but for their refusal to honor a warranty which just expired because I discovered the same issue too late. Would prefer not to do business with companies like this.

Once again, happy to give Sal's 5 stars and all details from my prior review still hold. Have used Sal's for big jobs and small jobs, and everyone the send out is knowledgeable, professional, and skillful. They always are honest with their assessments and estimates, their customer service is consistently top notch. Most recent repairs done once again by Mike O., who diagnosed multiple problems and solved them quickly with utmost professionalism. Continue to highly recommend.

As a homeowner and a landlord, any time I have plumbing issues, my first call is to Sal's Plumbing. So far, I've used them three times and it's always a great experience. Same day service with a professional who is polite and explains everything to me so I can understand the problem. It feels great to know that the problem will be solved quickly and that the repair person is honest and friendly. Sal's is the best in the South Bay!

Called Sal's on a Saturday night for a clogged kitchen/washing machine drain. Thomas arrived within the 2 hr window and was able to snake both clean outs quickly and successfully. He was knowledgeable, professional, and expedient and I'd certainly recommend Sal's to anyone. Thanks!

The toilet backed up into the bathtub. Of course, this happened on a Saturday evening. I called Sal's and a very nice woman answered on the second ring. I explained my situation and she gave me some options of when to have someone come out. Since i have an extra bathroom, I asked for the Sunday 9-11am option. At 8:50am Gino called and said he was on his way. PROMPT! He wore shoe covers when he entered the house and listened to everything i said. Gino snaked through the shower and removed the clog. No mess left behind! Less than 40 min and he was done. This is the A team!Thank you! Prompt. Efficient. Considerate. Kind. I've already told my story to friends and given out their name to those in the area. No one wants to have to call for emergency plumber however, I am thankful to know that a good one is available 24/7.

After my review the owner did reach out to me to make things right and reimburse me the service call that I was charged which I do appreciate. I will give Sal's another try maybe in the future with other plumbing issues that I am sure will arise. Thank you for taking the time and following up with me.

Turned them down as we were able to resolve our plumbing problems at 1/3 the quotation Sal's offered. Just hate it when businesses try to use scare tactics to justify cost/work.

Our downstairs bathroom tub and toilet both were clogged. We needed service as soon as possible as it's the only handicap accessible bathroom. I called a few people and was told they couldn't come until next week. I called Sal's and they came the same day. They gave an assessment and came back the next morning and finished the job. They were on time and very nice. They explained what happened so that it wouldn't happen again.

I called Sal's plumbing for a drain issue that I couldn't fix myself. Thomas came to the rescue on a Saturday evening with a day's notice. Thomas was very professional and experienced, and was able to handle the difficult task within the hour! He also made sure to fix the root of the problem, and made sure the area was cleaned up before he left. A+++ for the amazing service and hard work that he put in. Will use again in the future!

Mary Grace C.

06/11/2018 12:00:00 SA

Second time calling Sal's about a toilet issue. They got someone out here real quick and it ended up being a quick fix. Service was very informative and friendly, would call again.

Luis came after hours to help with a valve issue in the shower.

Came within the hour and updated eta 20 mins out

Was very friendly and polite, made me comfortable to have him over to help at such hours.

Highly recommend for reliability and efficient fixes.

Tip: ask about estimates on repairs--don't hold them to it, but it was right in the ball park.

This company is outstanding. Thomas came out and cleaned out my washer drain, and was very conscientious and knowledgeable. I would recommend and use them again...

Had a odd leak in my patio coming from the laundry room above. Water was dripping through the light fixture. They came quickly on a Sunday night and checked it out, secured it. Came back Labor Day morning at 9:30. Wishing them luck as he is being extra cautious with breaking through the drywall.

We needed emergency sink repair on saturday and called sal's plumbing. Sal's plumbing was one of the few that were open on the weekends and it was the only one that was able to respond in a couple of hours. David was courteous and explained to us the steps he was going to take to find the root cause. We were done in two hours and the price was very reasonable and no last minute surprise increase either. Thanks David for coming out on the weekends to rescue us! Definitely going to return for future plumbing issues.

Had a clogged kitchen sink so called Sal's and they had someone out in less than two hours to help. He was professional and polite, wearing a mask, gloves, and shoe coverings before entering our home. The clog was cleared about an hour later, but not before giving us some great advice on preventative maintenance for our drains and pipes. Have used Sal's before and would use them again for any plumbing needs!

Called Sal's Plumbing to stop a toilet that was leaking at the base. I called this morning and they sent someone over just a few hours later. Mike O. was friendly and efficient and explained everything well after he fixed the issue.

This is a very good company. They were efficient and honest. Thomas came to my house and told me I don't need hydro get which would have cost me more. He explained everything. Showed me his work before and after with a camera. He was great. I have a new plumbing company I could count on! Thank you Sal!

Holly R.

We had a great experience with this plumber as they were able to fix my issue at a very short time. Great customer service. Polite and professional plumber even had to put their shoe cover to keep your house clean. Bryan was very helpful!! Will definitely call them again should we have other plumbing issues.

Robert B.

6/13/2018

I had a plumber (Sal or Salvador) come out to fix a clog in my sink and to change the toilet. He wanted to charge $550 to change out a basic toilet. I asked him what the breakdown of the cost was and he said $350 for the toilet $200 for install. I asked him if I could buy the toilet myself since online I saw standard toilets for $150-200. He refused to give me a model number of the toilet that he was going to install saying he doesn't know model numbers, he just asks for a toilet that is standard and meets general guidelines. Total BS that he cannot give me a model number of the type of toilet he was going to install.
Secondly, he was going to charge me $150 to unclog my sink and $150 to next time replace the drain pipe that was clogged. So you're telling me it's the same price to replace the entire part or go in there and clean it out? I told him I'm not going to unclog the sink today and he said it will cost more next time.
I don't mind paying for good plumbing service but I don't want a guy who doesn't want to provide toilet model numbers so that he can overcharge me and also to change prices depending on whether or not I do the services that day. Due to the good reviews, I called this service to have a different plumber come out today. We will see...

Thomas patiently explained the current state of our plumbing, and performed a complimentary camera inspection. He gave a reasonable estimate for the work on the pipe connecting to the city supply line. It was several thousand dollars less than our neighbor paid. I appreciated the time and care Thomas showed.

Ed G.

My shower was completely stopped up. Called Sal's Saturday afternoon and they dispatched Thomas. He had the problem fixed and cleaned up in less than fifteen minutes! Very reasonable price too. Just what we needed!

Good, solid emergency leak repair service. I had a dripping ceiling in the morning during the 4th of July weekend, and Sal's sent out a friendly plumber who found and fixed the problem in less than 2 hours. Reasonable prices (according to my former contractor father in law) for emergency weekend service. I'd call again in similar circumstances.

Doug A.

10/29/2019

I was traveling for 10 days and returned home to a clogged drain. Sal's responded quickly to my call for help and arrived within the 2 hour window they quoted. Leo got right to work assessing the problem and using the snake. However, the clog was very stubborn and after crawling under the house and trying the snake again they told me it was a serious problem they couldn't resolve without cutting into the main sewer line and replacing an old section of pipe. Yikes. Called another plumber and it turned out to be just a stubborn clog.

They appear to be a reputable plumbing service and their price for unclogging the drain was reasonable. I'm giving them 3 stars because the owner reached out to me directly and promised to refund the full amount of the service call. I think that shows a good faith effort.

Super great experience with Sal's today! Riene came out to help with a dishwasher and sink install and he was timely, kind, efficient and all around fabulous. Can't speak to how their prices compare with others but would definitely work with them again.

My water heater stopped working about 2 weeks ago.
Called Sal's to request a repair, and estimate. Was
quoted $45 for them to come out and diagnose the
heater. Next day they sent out a fellow named Dimas
who inspected it, and could not determine the problem.
After researching the problem online, I spent some time
explaining to him that the pilot and burner would not stay
lit, due to a seal which was obviously damaged, and
would need to be replaced. He decided to just re-light
the heater, then hands me a bill for $220 to relight the
heater and for about 30 minutes of his time to switch
a couple of water lines, neither of which was itemized,
just a lump sum, which I reluctantly paid. Gas Company
could have done same thing with no charges.

Following day heater is out again, called them back out,
this time Dimas decides it was the thermocouple (wrong)
and tells me to order the part as he was unable to find
the part no. and he would then come back out and
charge me some unknown amount again to install it.

I contacted Rheem the mfr. ordered the part, and installed
it myself on Christmas day, after 7 days without hot water
Thanks Guys !

Bottom line, Sal's plumbing appears to be a reputable
company, but if you need to have your water heater
repaired, request someone else, as this guy was clueless,
acted confused and surly when I had to explain his job
to him, didn't even know that water heaters need to be
flushed once in a while, and said it was unnecessary.
Also, try to obtain a written estimate first before authorizing
any work ( good luck there ! ). Not a happy customer here.

UPDATE TO REVIEW
A few hours after posting my review with a 1 star rating I
received an E-mail from Joe G the owner who apologized
for their service, and my inconvenience, and offered to
refund me the full amount of the bill to make it right.
Seemed like the honest thing to do, so I am adjusting my
review and giving a 4 star rating, pending receipt of the
promised refund. As mentioned in my review, I will agree
with most others that in general Sal's is a good plumber
and will likely use them again if plumbing problems arise.
PS
Will just offer this advice: From my experience and hearing
from others, seems like WATER HEATER repairs can be
tricky and most plumbers do not want to deal with them,
will tell you to order the parts and will then install them,
probably hoping you'll just go away. In general, don't have
high expectations about getting a heater repaired, and
you will likely have to do some shopping around for the
parts etc. which may be worth the efforts, rather than
buying a new heater for much bigger bucks.

Final Update
I did receive the promised check for a full refund from
Joe G the owner of Sal's and have adjusted it to 4 stars.
I decided to rate them 5 stars for their honest response
and concern for their reputation, ( rare these days ) but
rated only 3 stars for my inconvenience thus the 4 stars.
Thanks Sal,
It was a pleasure doing business with you.

Called Sal's on a Friday afternoon in a panic. Mike O. in El Segundo was dispatched and at my door in an hour. Professional, friendly and knowledgable, he gave me his diagnosis to the problem and put me at ease before the weekend. Apparently I just needed some advice from a plumber with patience and experience. Oh, and no charge for the consult. Thanks Mike!

Thomas came by late on a Sunday for an issue we had and was so professional and courteous. Fixed the issue quickly and even gave some tips on how to prevent the issue in the future. Sal's also scheduled someone to come out within a couple of hours. I have used Sal's in the past and will continue to use them in the future. Highly recommend!!

We had a laundry pipe leak, I called Sal's and they were able to send someone within a short time. Thomas and Jose came out, diagnosed the problem without cutting anywhere. They were very nice and very helpful and were asked to fix the problem. I will be calling on them again next time I need a plumber.

Becky B.

Joe G., your reply is a bold heinous lie. You are truly demonic and an evil man to tell such lies, I never raised my voice nor uttered one word of profanity to anyone at Sal's Plumbing. I called your place of business with the building owner and maintenance manager present with my cell phone on speaker.

Richard D.

We had Sal's plumbing come out to fix the kitchen sink drain. Nick did a great job. I would recommend him every time.
I've been a long time customer in the South Bay and used them on several different homes.

Thomas was great. He was timely and thorough. Even crawled under my house without complaint! LOL. I need to replace my garbage disposal and will be using Sal's again for the installation.

Charged me almost $300 for a leak detection. When I had another plumber came next day, found the leak was at the other side of where Sal's plumbing suggested to cut wall open. Sal's leak detection wasn't that accurate. Their reroute quote was twice as much as the other plumber I ended up hiring and fixed the problem. Also, with such high quote, Sal's plumbing say they won't patch the walls after cutting open. The other plumber patched all the cutted open wall before they leave.

As a property mgr. of a gated community in the South Bay I take great care to make sure the property stays as beautiful as possible. One of the homeowners of the property called this plumbing firm to do some work. When they finished, I was truly in shock to see the mess they had left! They cut an 8'X12 hole in the garage ceiling to get to the pipe, cut through the outside stucco and made a 5X5 hole which the literally threw plaster at to try to cover but didn't, they left grease marks all over the driveway and walls, damaged the garage door so that a repair was then needed for that, and then they just took off leaving everything in this condition!!! I called the office when I saw this disaster and the male supv. that answered the phone was completely RUDE and said that he thought everything was left as it should have been. Say WHAT?? Please beware of who you have out to do any plumbing!!

We had mysterious heavy leaking from the ceiling of one of our bedrooms with no indication where it was coming from as the leaking happened even when no faucets were running or toilets flushing. Raime was able to uncover the problem pretty quickly with a leaking copper pipe in the ceiling. He had suggested the leak detection equipment as an option but then explained it would probably save us money to simply open the ceiling to see where the leak was (as we would pay extra even if the equipment didn't find the leak). The price was very reasonable and he took great care with our furniture and flooring to not damage anything and then to neatly cover the hole in the ceiling afterwards. Further he went above and beyond to look into a few other plumbing issues we were having to then repair and replace or quote us for future reference. Very happy with this experience.

We love this business...they always get right back to you, they come as fast as possible, they give you an honest opinion and estimate, they are extremely fair and reasonably priced AND always send nice guys, who are very clean, responsible, friendly, fast and effective...you can't find a better plumbing company than that!

Kitchen sink backed up, I snaked it with a 50' snake but I needed a 100 footer. Called Sal's, they came out same day snaked my drain. Domonique, the technician, was professional and helpful, and removed the issue in 10 minutes. I will use them again.

Tim H.

08/02/2021 12:00:00 SA

Sals came out to find a gas leak, said they could not find the leak and recommended a whole gas line replacement for $5,000- and with cheap flimsy flex gas lines. I called another plumber who found the leak and fixed it for $600 total. Sals is a rip off and dangerous!

Teresa B.

05/09/2022 12:00:00 SA

Needed some clean outs to be recapped. Found this company on yet and decided to give them a try. Kevin came out to give the quote--nice guy.

Jose and another worker came out early in the morning ing to do the work. They did AWESOME!

I'm SUPER IMPRESSED that they CLEANED up very well afterwards. I'm very happy with their services this far, and with definitely be using them for other things like hydro-jetting, repairs, etc.

Our ceiling was leaking due to an upstairs toilet. I called Sal's immediately based off a friends recommendation. Someone came within two hours (Thomas), who quickly identified the issue and fixed it! He was super friendly and professional! I will definitely use this company again!

I had a clog in my bathtub so I called Sal's. They were very professional and showed up quickly to fix the issue.

Kathy W.

01/11/2019 12:00:00 SA

Sal's came out in about an hour late on a Friday and cleared my sewer drain just fine. I appreciated the quick service but what I was concerned about was when the technician told me that if I posted a yelp review, I would get a $20 discount, so the price would be $165 instead of $185 to clear my sewer. I like to give business to local, family owned businesses like Sal's is advertised but I may have been better off with one of the chains, like Mike Diamond and wouldn't have been asked to get a better price if I gave them a yelp review. And, I had to do it before the guy left.

Stacy A.

12/07/2020 12:00:00 SA

Everyone we've worked with at Sal's plumbing has always been great. They are honest, prompt, communicate well and have always been able to help us out quickly. I think their prices are reasonable and fair. Especially enjoy working with Thomas!

My kitchen sink was backing up into the bathtub, so I called Sal's based upon the reviews on Yelp around 3:30 on a weekday. The woman that answered was very pleasant and quick to get the right information. They said that they said that they could send someone out the next day between 11-2.

They called at 10:30 the next day to see if they could come early which I was really glad to hear since the blockage had gotten really gross and bad! Bryan came and was quick to diagnose the issue and where to try snaking it. He told me the costs upfront which seemed reasonable, and he was quick at snaking out the issue (needed to use a machine to do the job).

Things seemed to be flowing much better, and he gave me tips on how to keep things draining properly since the house hadn't been used much. They took both credit card and check as payment.

Noreen D.

02/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Called them at 8pm, and they answered my call! Our bathtub was filling with gross dirty water from our sink and shower, and they came the next morning, first thing! They were professional and explained all the issues we were having, and fixed our gross back up! They even cleaned the tub! Great customer service. Would definitely recommend.

Joanna C.

7/21/2019

We called at 4:30pm on a Sunday and the company answered (not a contracted answering service) and they sent someone by 5:30. He noticed water coming up the clean-out drain outside and went to work. He was very patient to explain the problem to us with the video feed from the camera in the pipes - when our hoa president came home, he went though the explanation again with the camera for him. He was very nice to work with and very reasonably priced for a weekend emergency.

Fabian F.

05/06/2020 12:00:00 SA

Called Sals and they were professional and courteous on the phone. They sent our Thomas and he was very nice and explained in detail what was going on with our plumbing issues. He ended up replacing our toilets and kitchen faucet. He was quick and very respectful. Thanks Sals for sending us Thomas.
