I would not recommend using Sales plumbing for any major work. His guys initially quoted a fair price to do ground plumbing. Sal shows up 2.days later and quotes a price OVER double what was initially said justifying it by saying it was a multiple day job. The job took less than 5 hours which meant I was charged $600 an hour if the parts cost $1000 which I know they did not. And I  thought lawyers were greedy!

Had a main line stoppage and my regular plumber wasn't able to come. Called Sal's on Saturday morning after seeing them in my local newspaper ads. They were able to come at 11am-1pm.  Quick response.

Thomas spent 2 hours snaking and running a camera through my lines to check for any other issues.  I spent a lot of time evaluating the results with him. Learned a lot and the camera service was complimentary with the service.

Total cost was very reasonable and now no problems!  I hope it stays that way.  

Summary: Quick response, good prices, and grateful for the insight into my houses plumbing sewer system.

Thanks.

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing.
They came in the same day, fixed the problem in a Covid safe way and were out. No mess. Nothing else disturbed. Great service. Great technicians. Great  pricing. Great everything.

Luis came out with George and was so professional and helpful. We bought a new house and were in over our head with all the repairs and they did the job in half the price with a 10 year warranty! I'm so thankful and happy. Will definitely have Sal's saved and will always ask for Luis. Thanks Guys!

Great job from Sal's team.=!  I had a leaking pipe that was dripping from the ceiling in my dining room.  Kevin arrived on-time, quickly found the leak and made the repair within a couple of hours.   He and his co-worker were friendly, courteous, and professional.  And, since we're in COVID, they came with their masks.  He explained the problem to me in a very easy manner and the cost to repair was reasonable ($395) and they gave a 6 month warranty.  I would definitely use the service again and would highly recommend Sal's Plumbing to you.

Of course stuff happens only at the worse time - Thanksgiving Day. After a few calls, Sal's picked up right away and in about an hour Thomas showed up and was on the job. An hour later after some auger work all was done and we are good! He also gave me some great ideas for how to prevent future problems. I highly recommend this team!!

i had a serious drainage issue at kitchen sink, which the clog built up with metal rust from the pipe and some food residue.
the condition was really bad and i really wanted to fix right away to avoid some sort of a health concern (as i knew the blockage happens 20-30 ft away and the water pooled up to the sink.
i called them this morning and they can have me a slot this afternoon easily. They called me and arranged to come earlier. they came to my unit and all the work was very efficient and carefully managed the clean environment (nothing mess up)
also although the first try with snake didn't make it through, they are very nice to accept to pursue the another try. and they made it. also they wear the mask all the time while doing their job.
on a whole, i am really happy for the expertise. strongly recommend them!!

After reading the great reviews, I called to get an appointment to unclog our kitchen drain.  I was surprised and great full that they were able to come out the same day!  Thomas arrived right on time and discovered that the home builder had buried the access to the trap too close to the floor - the snake would not fit in the space available.  Thomas had to get into the wall in order to reconstruct the access.  I was surprised as to how small of an area of plasterboard he had to remove!  He was able to get into the wall, reconfigure the trap, clean out the pipe and had everything back in working order in a few short hours.  Thomas was very professional, provided a detailed explanation of the condition of the plumbing, gave me a few pointers as to prevent the drain from clogging in the future and all for a reasonable price - Thanks Thomas and Sal's Plumbing!

We had an urgent leak and contacted these folks late in the day. David came out in an hour, who was a very nice guy. There was a $100 fee to come out after hours, which was ok. The leak was in the ceiling so he again charged another $150 to just cut open the ceiling, which was ok. Once he found the tiny leak (from a copper elbow)  within reach, he quoted $650 to just replace the elbow which he was able to do within 30 mins. The fee to come out and to open up the ceiling was ok. However, the fee to replace the elbow left a bad taste. A regular plumber would have done this for a lot less, so I have trouble seeing how talking advantage of people and charging such an exorbitant fee in this situation is good for business, regardless of the neighbourhood they live in. The extra call-out fee I understand, but seriously $650 to change out an elbow, within 30min??? As much as David was a nice guy, I will certainly not use this business again.

Nick and his crew did a fantastic job replacing our Main Line Sewage pipes from our house to the street!! It was a big job and it only took 3 full days and we were able to use our water (shower/toilet) at nights. They were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I highly recommend them!!! Thanks again Nick!

We are property management in South Bay always use this company.
They are open 7days a week. Many time programs happen late night and weekends. I'm appreciate they are open.

We changed Water Heater in Townhome in Rancho Palos Verdes today.
Technician Tony was really nice to explain what's happening and take care it smoothly and clean.

Thank you for Sal's Plumbing!

Sunday morning shower clog was a nightmare. I was pleasantly surprised to get prompt phone pickup and one-hour appointment. My 15-foot snake didn't do the job, so Sal's Plumbing did a 80-foot snake job across the house and the charge was a reasonable $165. This included going under the house, digging, and checking all the available clean-outs. For far easier clogs, I've been charged $130 by other companies, so I know $165 is reasonable. The information was accurate and the charges are in the ballpark. Best yet, there was no Sunday price gouging. So I can give Sal's a recommendation.

Phenomenal company to work with.  I called last night to request a plumber to come over to fix two broken toilets.  To my surprise - they were able to get someone out here the next day.  They gave me a window between noon-2pm and their plumber Gino was right on time at noon sharp.  In fact - he's already finished the job.  Thank you Gino and Sal's Plumbing & Rooter for taking such great care of this customer.  If you live in the South Bay - this is your go to plumber!

edit - i am impressed with the customer service provided. the owner contacted me promptly to resolve this.

called in for a kitchen sink clog. Plumber was nice and friendly

quoted charge 145 for snaking the pipe. plumber wasnt able to resolve the problem and the minimum charge was 98, overpriced in my opinion

Now after paying 98, Problem was not solved, on top of that after the snaking now the drain is completely clogged. before the plumber visit at least the water was draining out very slowly.

Thomas from Sal's Plumbing has been such a huge help with taking care of our old house and all it's plumbing problems. From replacing 30 ft. of main sewer line, snaking, or replacing a toilet Thomas has been friendly, professional and easy to work with. I can breath easy knowing Sal's Plumbing is there to help when we need them.

And I know I'm getting a good deal with Sal's Plumbing because I've compared prices.

Do not use this plumbing company. This was the worst experience I ever had with any plumbing company before the work even started. I had a sewer problem at 6 PM, so I called this 24 hour company. The guy showed up relatively OK time wise, the first thing he wanted to make sure is $250 after hour charge plus the cleaning fee. Than he made sure that they will not offer any warranty (not even 30 days). I kind of referring to the previous plumbing work I had with other company, 90 days is a normal warranty after the work is done. The guy stopped me right away and insisted his boss told him that they do not offer any warranty.Then he said that I can canceled the appointment if i like. So I canceled it. Later on I called the company ask for the warranty, the lady was not sure and said 30 days and said that is the company's policy. I do not know how this company is still in business with the way they treat their customer and they do not warranty any of the work they do. Please do not use this company.
Well, I saw the reply the owner wrote. He did contact me after my review which means at least he is concerned about my review. This is a credit I do give it to him. The dispute is the way he does not offer any warranty even before the start of the work, not even know what the job is! So the owner did offer me $100 credit, but I don't want to use it since I don't trust the company. Any way, I will put the end of this complaint to at least give them credit to try to protect their reputation! Thank you for listening!

We found sals plumbing on Yelp when we had a plumbing emergency and I am so thankful we found them! We ended up having a huge plumbing issue under our house that could have cost us around $20k+. We are new home owners and don't know much about anything, the plumber who came out showed us how to get our insurance involved and called in a service clean up crew that was also compliant with our insurance, and they got to work right away. Joe, the owner, was very nice and he had empathy for us which most service people do not. He talked us through our situation and gave us choices of what we could and should do and left the decisions up to us instead of just doing it and charging us for it. I would recommend Sals plumbing to anyone and we will be using them again. Thank you Joe! -The Campbells

We called Sal's bc we had a clogged pipe in our main bathtub. Thomas came out and in less than 20 mins, was able to unclog it - nasty (my) hair and sludge, eeks! He was so respectful and clean, and even cleaned the mess the clog created. We now have a go-to plumber, and are so grateful. Thanks so much!

Thomas at Sal's plumbing was great. He made a really stressed situation much better as he made sure he came up with a solution. I called Sals plumbing late afternoon on a Sunday. I was told someone will be at my home in a hour or two. Thomas showed up on time and told me I needed a clean out in front of my house to have better access to my mainline to prevent stoppages. He came the next day and completed the job. He also switched out a couple of old pipes I had underneath my home. Very professional, caring and understanding. I will definitely call them again.

I have been using Sal's since I bought my house in 2013. They always come quickly even when it is not an emergency. There prices are good and they know what there are doing.  I had called them a few days ago for a snaking job and made an appointment for the following day between 4-6, at the last minute something came up at 3 that I needed to leave the house  and they sent someone right away so I could get to my appointment that evening.   Amazing customer service!

We were in a bind as our regular plumber was on vacation.  So we called Sal's Plumbing.  They were at our door within an hour of our call.  The person who called on us was very helpful and resolved the situation quickly.  We are grateful for the expediency of the call...especially over the weekend.  Thanks Sal's.

As a Contractor you learn to appreciate dedicated and honest people..

My business had a late night plumbing emergency inside of customers home and needed it fixed immediately.

I scrambled the internet and found Sal's Plumbing. They were the only one who did not blow me off and treated me like a valued customer.

Would recommend all day long. Will continue to use.

It was Sunday night and my kitchen was clogged and backed up.  I had no clue what to do so my friend suggested I look up a plumber in yelp, make sure to pick someone with good referrals.  I saw Sal's plumbing at the top of the list and it says open for emergency.  I called them  up, and sure enough they answered on a Sunday night! I explained my problem, then asked for a price and received a very reasonable quote.  Asked when they can come out, 30 minutes they said, and they came promptly as promised.  Joe came into my house, did his magic, 15 minutes later, my kitchen sink is running smooth, best of all, he clean up after he was done.  Fast response to an emergency, friendly service, reasonable price, can't thank him enough for saving me from a miserable night.  Got their business card, will definitely tell friends and neighbors about Sal's Plumbling.

Our toilet flooded on a Saturday morning, tried the usual stuff but nothing worked.  Called Sal's Plumbing Company and they were at my house in about an hour.  I used them before to redo my kitchen line and they did a good job.  Thomas cleared the line but showed me through a camera that my pipe that joined into the main pipe that attached to sewer was offset and that we would need some major work. We agreed to move forward with the work.  Thomas and his crew completed the major work within two days.  They had to break up the drive way and winched a new pipe and a new connection and  added a new sewer clean out in the driveway.  They had really good communication through out the whole process and showed videos and pictures to keep me informed.

We were referred to Sal's plumbing by friends. I called because I needed cartridges changed on a bar faucet. When I asked on the phone about pricing, I was told the technician would provide a free estimate.  

When the technician arrived, he began work which basically entailed turning water off to the house, popping out old cartridges and popping in new cartridges ( which we provided). He was here less than an hour.  He never told me an estimate and ended up charging me $325.00.  

We later called to debate the charge and were offered $50 credit or refund.  We told them that we would not have hired him if he would have given us an estimate of $325 to begin with, per their policy.  They said there is nothing further they could do.

Needless to say, we won't be using this company again.

Called the morning of Christmas Eve after we noticed a leak coming from the base of our toilet. Making the appointment was very easy. Tech came a little late from the window but understandable given the day. Diagnosed the broken ring in the toilet base and replaced it all in less than 30 minutes. Cleaned up his mess and was on his way. A+ service!

He did a great job moving the pipes, installing my vanity and toilet. No time was wasted and he did it quickly and efficiently. Will definitely call again for plumbing work. Thank you.

As a homeowner in Torrance I give Sal's a big FIVE STARS!
They came recommended by neighbors for plumbing, but I had to be sure.  For large or small projects, definitely call Sal's for an easy quote. They often answer 24 hours, a plus for emergencies.

We met PEDRO on the team and he worked on a big home plumbing issue/redo for us. We got three quotes and not only did Pedro explain everything and have a friendly crew, but he went above and beyond in his kindness and professionalism. Sal's definitely came in significantly less than our other bids too, but did far more than expected. Licensed and bonded. Also worked on weekends and around some weather.  He knew about permits and requirements of the city if needed. Another plus.

Pedro is a true asset to the company, and my family and I can't say enough great things about him and his transparency. Thank you Pedro for fixing our house and caring. We will definitely call Sal's again soon.

My go to Plumber was busy so I tried this company see if all those reviews were  legit.   Ok here is my review.    

*5  stars for the fast response.  Spent $300 for the job.   I thought it was fixed.  Still leaking so I called them again.  

*4 stars for coming out for  2nd time and try to figure out what they did wrong but it  failed again.   They said they will come back.  As long as it gets fixed, I had no problem with it but I had a feeling they can't fix it.  

*Negative stars for not show up again or even phone calls.
Spent $300 for the incomplete job  plus they made it worse.   I didn't want them to come back again  and made it worse anyway  so it was ok for me even I lost $300.    My go to plumber was available after a week later,  they came out and fixed the problem right away.   It was not the complicated job  at all especially for the professional plumbers.  
It was just the old rusty leaky bathtub spout.

They are amazing. They responded via Yelp a few minutes after I posted the quote request. Ask me to call in to the office, they quickly answered asked me my info, scheduled me within the same day and free visual inspection. Pricing very reasonable but the best is they are very quick to respond!

This company is great!  I initially hired them as a result of their excellent Yelp reviews and have used them twice for some small jobs.

About two weeks ago, my main plumbing line broke (which I did not realize) and they were out in under an hour. What a mess I had in two downstairs bathrooms!  When it was diagnosed,  Sal's was always there on time and did what they said they would do.  David Flores was the main person I worked with but Joe was also great.

When the restoration people were supposed to put back two toilets and a sink, all they did was the sink.  David saw the sink was improperly installed and leaked.  So he reinstalled it and the two toilets, as I did not trust the restoration company for a number of reasons and did not want them back.

This was a nightmare job and they made it easier to cope with.  I would give them 1,000 stars if I could.

Sal's Plumbing to the rescue again! I recently opened my water bill, and to my surprise, it was triple the normal cost! My water company said I must have a leak because we had not changed our normal water use behaviors.

I put in an urgent call to Sal's last in the afternoon and a technician came out the next morning. Geno, the technician, assured me he would get to the bottom of the issue. He was able to find the source of our leak quickly and make recommendations to fix the issue in a cost efficient way (which plumbing company tries to save you money in this environment?) Needless to say, I was beyond happy to have my issue resolved without spending $1,000's of dollars.

I know I can always count on Sal's to provide quality service at a great price! Their techs are knowledgeable and look out for the customer. Don't hesitate to call Sal's when you have a plumbing issue small or large. You won't regret it...I highly recommend them. Thanks Sal's!

I want to praise the fantastic job that Thomas Ortega and his crew members: JR, Memo, and Mondo did at my mom's house in Lomita.  

They were very professional and honest!  Let me say that again,...honest.  Their pricing was extremely fair and there was not a hard sell on the work that needed to be done.  

Thomas took the lead and explained each step of the process from installing a back house clean out, a new front house clean out, a long section of replacement pipe under our raise foundation, and the replacement of front yard clay pipes with a new section of trench-less liner.  

In a time where seniors are often taken advantage of it was refreshing to work with someone honest and conscientious.  We will recommend Sal's to all of our Lomita neighbors and to the City of Lomita for their business ethics!  

Thomas,...Thank You for taking care of my mom!

I was very impressed by Sal's plumbing.  I needed new fixtures for my shower, but they were hard to find due to the age of the house.  Mike was very responsive.   He was able to locate the required parts, picked them up, and installed them in just over an hour.  Very professional, knowledgeable, and courteous.

I called Sal's on a Tuesday morning and they were able to stop by within 4 hours.  They also called me letting me know they were running a few minutes late.  They are super organized and professional which was very much appreciated.  The tech who fixed our sink was nice enough.  At one point he had to go out and buy some extra piping and the whole repair took about 1.5 hours.   The cost was $165 which I felt wasn't rock bottom but considering how fast they came over pretty reasonable.  

I'd totally call them again.

Sals Plumbing was prompt with response time and service.  I felt comfortable with their presence, and work practices and they made the appropriate repairs necessary at a reasonable price. Thank you!

Professional and trustworthy. They fixed the problem with our tub drain. The tech was very nice and knowledgeable. He had to replace some pipes and the drain and we expected the price to be much more. We will definitely use them again.

Sal's is the best Plumber in this area!
Especially Luis and his team do very clean, neat and great jobs!!!
He is also very kind and works quickly.
And most importantly, Sal's team always try to finish the day leaving the system in usable condition.

I highly recommend going with Sal's for your Plumbing needs.

I had an emergency the other night at 6:15.  Water was somehow soaking up into my carpet from below in a few places.  The spots were getting larger and were not going away after sopping it up with paper towels or regular towels.  I assumed I had a cracked pipe in my slab and was frantic.  I do not a have a regular plumber, so I went on Yelp to find someone close to my place in Lomita.  They answered the phone (this was around 6:30!) and were patient with me as I explained my issue.  They sent Marvin out and he got here in less than 30 minutes.  He looked at the situation and determined it was a leak in a condensation tube on the fridge's ice maker.  He fixed it in about five minutes, and showed me how to read the water meter located in the sidewalk in front of my house.  He showed me how the meter would react even if there was a small leak somewhere in the house by turning on my hose while I observed the meter.  I have lived in this house 27 years and never knew that. Maybe bad on me, but Marvin took the time to educate me.  I was thrilled with the outcome, and honestly believe that others without Marvin's experience or knowledge may have missed the cause.  This was my first experience with Sal's, and I absolutely would do business with them again.

Got home on a Friday and the kitchen sink was backed up.  Call several plumbing companies and no one could come out until the next day/ morning.  Call Sal's and they told me someone would be to my house in 2 hours, they arrived in one hour.  I was given a min charge for the service and the David, the plumber said he would try to keep the services close to the fee quoted.  Job was done in record time and he only charged me the min fee which was way lower than the other plumbers quoted for the same job.  I would call them again in a heartbeat.  Great job, very satisfied.

The hot water faucet in my master bathroom came apart.  All the parts were there; it just needed to be put back together and tightened.  We were told by other plumbers that we needed to by new faucets and they'd come and install the new faucet.  This plumber was not willing to come out and take a look.  Gino from Sal's Plumbers came out within an hour of the call and repaired the faucet within a half hour.  Great Job Gino and I have already referred you to my neighbor!

Mario came by and totally bailed me out from a home DIY project which I totally botched up. Mario was very professional from start to finish. He gave me a call letting me know he was on his way and when he'd probably arrive. Once he got here, he diagnosed the problem and took care of it fast and did a great job. I have to say, Mario was really nice, very personable, and obviously knew his stuff. I would definitely recommend.

I don't normally write reviews but my experience with this company was THAT bad... Honestly I've never experienced such bad customer service in my life than with Sal's Plumbing.  My first service call with them went well. We had some issues in the house we just moved into and the man that we received was nice and was able to fix the problem we called for without having to do any work. I really liked how he was honest and didn't try to sell me on services I didn't need, so I thought to myself this company will be our go-to plumbers from now on. Soon after, I had a blockage in the bathroom pipes and a leaking bathtub so we had Sal's come over. The plumber came and gave me an estimate-$592 total to snake the line from the toilet to the main line. At the time I didn't realize that this was waaay more than the avg cost to snake a line, but I trusted them. I had no complaints about the work done. The guy was clean, had good manners, brought his own booties and towels to walk on.  However after about a week the line was clogged again.  I called Sal's and they came and did the SAME thing the first guy did, hydro vac and removed toilet to snake the pipe. Then 3 days later the pipe clogged AGAIN. Sal's came by again (since we were covered by a 30 day warranty) and this time they quoted us $1900-$2100 to break the cement in our garage to remove the item that had been causing the clogs this whole time. We ended up going with Mike from Prodigy Plumbing, who not only was able to check for the blockage without having to remove the toilet, he removed the blockage without having to break the cement or use any special equipment other than the camera and a very long needle nose plier he had in his van-for $350!!
The reason for the 1-star? After the second call I came to find out from others that the $592 was more than double what the cost should have been to snake a pipe, AND the problem had still not been fixed.  I called Sal's and spoke with a nice lady about the price and she said the starting price was $150 to $250, and depending on the equipment used it could go up. So then I asked her to follow up with the guy that came to my house, because I wanted to know why I was charged so much more. Two days later I received a call from the plumber who had came to snake the pipe. He was immediately hostile, belligerent, and condescending- constantly cutting me off when I tried to speak, scoffing whenever I said something, and accused me of trying to create problems with him. I tried to explain to him more than once that I wasn't calling to complain or accuse him of anything, but he continued to be confrontational.  At the end of that call, he said he would talk to his manager and they'd call me back.
The next day I spoke with him again. He stated he and the manager would refund me $75.  I asked how they got that number and again he became aggressive and insulting, accusing me of basically trying to create a problem when he had done beautiful work. I tried to stay calm and asked him for a breakdown of the charges, which he then replied would take him a week... As he became more hostile I asked him to not be insulting, at which he responded I was insulting him for even questioning his work...I realized  this call would be pointless so I let him know I would just call the company # to speak with someone else.  
This is when the situation got worse.  The manager then called me a few minutes later, with the same attitude as the plumber-rude, defensive, aggressive, and basically intent on telling me how he was right and I was wrong.  He repeatedly interrupted me with how his company was a family owned business, in the business for over 30 years, his prices were fair, and that they guaranteed their work. When I tried to explain to him that even on his yelp reviews, people stated they were only charged 150, 250, for comparable work, he stated that my charge was higher because they had to remove the toilet, which wasn't the standard way to unclog a drain. When I asked for a breakdown of the invoice he said they didn't do that. Eventually I was able to get him to understand that I was never insulting or hostile to his employee and all I had wanted to know was why my charge was so much-THAT'S IT, and that's when I noticed his attitude start to change for the better. Apparently his employee had told him a skewed version of the situation apologized.
I understand he wanted to protect his employee but really, the manager's approach to the situation was very unprofessional and unacceptable. After 30 years of business, you would think they would know how to talk to a customer...
In the end, they didn't fix the problem, charged for removal of the toilet that didn't have to be removed, made me experience the worst customer service I've ever received, and then tried to charge even more to complete the job....FAILED!
I will never recommend Sal's to anyone because of this experience and will always WARN anyone that asks to stay away from them.

My wife and I called Sal's plumbing concerning a leaky kitchen sink. The guys arrived, they pointed out our issues and gave an estimate $950.00  to repair the problem. I was told the price included the exact same garbage disposal that we were replacing however, it would be new. After talking to my wife concerning the price, the service plumber dropped the price $100.00. We agreed to the price, and they proceeded to perform the job. Upon completion the technician asked me to inspect the work performed prior to our payment. Upon my inspection,  I noticed they installed a 1/2HP garbage disposal and not the 3/4HP that we were originally had. The technician said he did so because he thought that was part of our deal. I responded by telling him that was not the what we discussed. After further discussion, he reduced the price by $50.00. After thinking about what transpired, I feel the price should have been reduced more than $50.00.  Honesty and Integrity is the most important thing needed to run a successful business.

Finding a trust worthy plumber is not always easy but with Sal's Plumbing I hit a goldmine!  They responded to my call immediately that night, and came the very next morning! They pinpointed the problem with a leaky pipe under the house and took care of it in record time.  I was back enjoying hot water before I even knew it was gone. With Sal you can not find a more honest and personable professional. He has an amazing attention to detail and explained everything so that my layman's ears would understand completely.  His plumbers, who worked on the job with him, were all so nice and polite and even cleaned up after they were done. I would not call anybody else but Sal's Plumbing for all my future plumbing problems. Thank you guys SO much for taking such good care of us!!

Joey Foster did a super repair job on my shower leak.  It's been leaking for a while and the landlord and a handyman tired to repair it but it would still leak.  Joey took time to look at the problem, trouble shoot it quickly, and also explained the problem so I could understand.  He is very nice, knowledgable, and quoted a fair price for a job well done.  He also made sure that the area was clean after the repair.  Everyone in the office is amazing too.  I will definitely be calling Sal's plumbing for any water issues.  Very happy customer.  10 stars!

As most people have experienced, a lot companies are run with profit in mind and little else.   I'm delighted to say that Joe seems to run his business with the customer in mind.  
    His guys came to my house to unclog the bathroom drain.  They were polite, friendly, fast and efficient; in addition, they were honest on what needed to be done.  When taking the cover off the drain, they bent it a little.  While the drain cover didn't affect the function of the drain, Joe understood that damage can't be quantified by how small the damage is or if it impedes with the functionality of the drain.  He wanted to leave the the cover as it was before his guys came to the house.
    I am completely impressed with Joe's impeccable customer service and would recommend him to anyone in our community.  Should the need arise, I would not call anyone else.  Thank you, Joe, for rising above and running your business with the level of integrity that most lack!

this is the first plumbing company I called (based on their great reviews here) and the service was excellent. I was not disappointed.  

I have been fighting with this clogged drain for months, seriously. And believe me I tried everything; from hydrogen peroxide,  bleach, hot water, baking soda, vinegar even this chemical I got from a hardware store that made my entire house smell like rotten eggs.

I called at 11:40 to make an appointment  & the guy on the other line said that he will get a guy to come by between 12 & 2pm. In less than 10 minutes, here comes Victor ringing the doorbell.  I was so surprised.  He fought and won the battle against my nemesis.  The service cost was less than what I expected.  Hurray, Victor!!!  My knight in shining armor!

If my nemesis would dare to come back, Sal's plumbing is on speed dial.

Open Saturday. Nice. Said someone would be here in 45 minutes, they were. Explained the problem and was quoted $98 to find the problem- big pool of water and mud under the house-so ya, that sounds fair.
Quoted a fair/reasonable price to replace the bath drain- big hole in the pipe. Job was finished competently and quickly. And guess what? The invoice amount was exactly what we were quoted and included the inspection fee.
I would recommend Sal's Plumbing without hesitation to anyone requiring a plumber. Extremely satisfied.

BEWARE!  I was charged $1800.00 to remove a toilet, replace flange, replace wax ring, install toilet and seal around toilet.   I called them because their prices were reasonable in the past and they have been wonderful in previous work on our home. I can't help think there is some sort of a scam going on that the owner doesn't know about.  I feel like a fool.

Having lived in the South Bay the past 10+ years, we've constantly relied on my uncle for our plumbing needs. Then came this week, an emergency struck, he was not available, and to Yelp we went. We are so glad we found Sal (and most specifically Thomas!).

They came out the same day to diagnose the problem and gave us an honest quote and options to fix the issue (a back-up in our old cast iron sewage system that meant new pipes would need to be installed as well as a two-way clean out to prevent issues in the future). The next day, Thomas came back to make the repairs. He was knowledgable, friendly, and professional. He kept us updated with everything as the work was done and sent photos to verify all of the work done under the house.

Without a doubt, we'd recommend Sal's for any plumbing needs you may have.

First let me say Sal's is a very professional plumbing company but.....need to move into the 21 century. This review is nothing about the service provided by Marvin for he gets 5 stars.  This review is for their payment system.  Although they accept credit cards but by writing down all my cards information on the invoice. I was not to happy about that. However I did not have $175.00 cash on hand with me.
With SQUARE etc credit card payment systems etc there is no excuse not to have one.......

Unfortunately my experience wasn't as good as other yelpers. I called them late Sunday afternoon. I was quoted $98 for weekday drain cleaning and a higher rate for weekends. I decided to wait till Monday since we have two bathrooms. The plumber came out and quoted $150 to unplug my drain. I did tell him I was quoted $98 the night before. He did argue about that, but did charge me the $98. He said all the pipes were broke and quoted me an additional charge of $330. I asked him to describe the damage. He said it was all the pipes under the sink. I passed on the repair of the pipes. I was able to repair the pipes for $35 and a half hour of my labor. I thought the $330 was excessive. He did unplug the drain.

Steer far away from this outfit based on our experience from last week.

Had the pilot go out on the water heater.  I don't fool around with things that have gas lines so called Sal's.  
Tech (Carlos) shows up early and tells my wife, within 2 minutes, you need a new water heater- $1400
I get home and ask-  
did you check the element- no
did you check the thermocouple- no
Try to relight pilot- no
Tells me unit is from 2013 by showing me the serial number.  I show him the tag showing the manufacture date is 2016 and is only 3.5 years old. (has a six year warranty)
Hmmm.  Now he starts talking about how he can't get parts and maybe it can be repaired but won't warranty repair

I suggest we try to light the pilot and Miracle!!!!  Works fine

Tells me to call him in an hour.  Call- no voice mail and no name.  Seems legit :(.  No contact back from him on anything.

Yeah, my opinion was this guy was not on the up and up

Not just my opinion-  to be sure have another company out who checks the system and everything is fine.  Just needed pilot re-lit.

Avoid !!!!

My condo leaked on Sunday (right before thanksgiving!!!) I found a few plumbing business on yelp and called one by one. Out of luck, no one picked up. I couldn't express how panicky and helpless I felt at the moment. When I called Sal's, Rachael picked up right away. She assisted me to get someone to come the same day. On top of that, she was really helpful and cheerful which calmed me down a lot.

David showed up during the time window scheduled. Because the water was wiped, he was not able to detect the leak. I was expecting a visit charge, but he didn't. He just told us to reach out if the water comes back.

Thanks to Rachel and David for saving my day. I know for sure they will be the go to person for all the plumbing in the future. =]

I have a 92-year-old mother with a home which had a mainline stoppage... I called at least three plumbers who could not get anybody out timely, and then I was fortunate enough to call Sal's. The receptionist was wonderful and very attentive... She got me a technician before her estimate for the time it would take to get out. David was exceedingly professional and obviously very knowledgeable as he cleared the line almost immediately. They quoted me over the phone and his bill matched exactly to the quote. I am an insurance agent in the area and will be referring these folks to my clients.

Thank you, guys! It's so hard to find an honest and responsive plumber. I've lived in Hermosa for 5 years and have been using Sal's now for 3 years. They have fixed everything from my bathroom to my kitchen for a responsible price and quickly.

I smelled gas coming out of our dryer and we bought a gas leak detector off Amazon in order to make sure that I was smelling something.  It indicated we had a leak.  We replaced the hose thinking that it would be enough, but then a few days later, I smelled gas again.  I called the gas company because I was worried and they shut off our gas indicating that it was hazardous.  The only thing they said was to call around to see if we could get a pressure test done and that we could potentially have other leaks under the house.  I was shocked!

I went on Yelp immediately and completed one of the forms getting companies to contact me.  Sal's was one of the ones that responded.  As a result of so many amazing reviews, I called them and asked for an appointment.  The lady on the phone was pleasant and scheduled me for the next day from 12-2p.m.  Jose, our technician/plumber was on time at 1 p.m. He indicated needing other equipment, came back promptly, and sealed our dryer connector.  He rechecked the gas leak and there was another leak!  He checked our water heater, replaced the shut off valve and save us a load of heartache! I cannot thank you enough!!!  

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Love these guys!  I have had a lot of issues with the crappy plumbing in my house, so they've been out here six times in the last few years, mostly to fix leaking pipes.  I suspect it's possible to obtain a lower price, but I'm just so pleased with their work that I wouldn't think of calling anyone else.

They are prompt and friendly.  Every guy that's come out has taken the time to explain what was going to be done and how.  Today, Chris came out and replaced some shut off valves, a leaky faucet and put on a whole new outside faucet.  It was a tough job since the stuff he was replacing was decades old and very hard to remove.  Plus, I pestered him with questions, which he answered cheerfully and thoroughly.  Even my husband, who is very hard to please, was completely happy with everything.

Finally, this is a minor thing but speaks volumes to me - after I explained to Chris that we are trying to conserve water as much as possible, he was really careful to not waste any.  After he shut off the main, he watered my patio plants with the hose to help drain the water!  I mean, that was awesome!  Talk about listening to your customers.  Thank you Chris and Sal's!

We had a great experience with Sal's Plumbing.  We were in desperate need of a plumber to come to our house ASAP.  We called and they sent someone within 3 hours.  Fidel arrived and diagnosed the problem within two minutes.  He offered solutions that would save us money (because we could do it ourselves)!

Contacted Sal's plumbing to get an estimate for two water heaters that weren't working properly. Leone came out to inspect the water heaters and diagnose them. They told me both could not be repaired and needed to be replaced totaling $3300. Knowing what was wrong with both they only needed a part each. I told him no thank you I found someone to replace the two parts including labor and materials only $195 and they were fixed in about an hour. I would recommend a to stay away from this company not trustworthy whatsoever and charged me $49 for the service call.

We had a slight back up in the house. SALs PLUMBING (Nick & assistant) came out and our small problem turned out to be a very big problem. The backup was coming from the main sewage line in the front of the house. Nick was great about this big problem. He/they were very professional, informative, comforting, honest and quick. They took care of the job in a couple of days. Since they were there doing work at the house we had them convert our shower to a 1 handle nozzle. They did a very clean and good job. Definitely going to keep them for our future plumbing issues. Although I hope to not need them anytime soon.

I LOVE SAL'S Plumbing...had some plumbing issues, my toilets/shower and bathtub ALL backed up, not to mention it was after hours. They told me someone would be here in an hour and Mario showed up in 40minutes. He came right over and took care of me! He was so professional and was very thorough with explaining the problem and was very patient with my mom and I , because as women we are clueless about plumbing ...lol  The customer service from the beginning to the end was EXCELLENT!! This is a great company with very honest and knowledgeable plumbers. The service We received was EXCELLENT!! Im so happy we found them on Yelp and I'll definitely call them first for any of our plumbing needs. The best part is there prices are very reasonable and they take care of there customers!!

I'll definitely use them always and I've told all my family and friends, no more handyman or unlicensed plumbers, call Sal's Plumbing and they will get the job done!

A few days ago, I had a sewage line stoppage and needed a plumber right away. I arbitrarily chose Sal's Plumbing (since it was at the top of the Yelp list) and would later discover that I made a great choice.

The initial plumber arrived and surveyed my house only to learn that it was an older home that was not equipped with a clean-out. He called for back-up in the form of his field supervisor, Nick Rubio, who arrived shortly thereafter.

Nick and his associate got to work and, despite some challenges, such as an older 2 rooftop vent pipe, they literally pushed through to get their camera past the arc of the pipe and down to the sewage line for the inspection, which also inadvertently cleared the blockage!

Nick made a few suggestions to upgrade my house, like installing a clean-out and jetting out the sewage line. I found Nick to be an honest, knowledgeable, no-nonsense type of guy, which I found reassuring these days.

In the end, Nick charged me only the cost of the inspection fee. I will definitely be using Sal's Plumbing in the future for my plumbing projects and emergencies, and will refer them to family, friends, and colleagues.

About 1 week ago I had a pin hole leak. Which I have experienced from time to time over the years in my home. I called Sal's pluming on a Saturday which I was relieved that they are available and came very quickly on a Saturday.

The Plumber was very friendly and and because he was so nice, I felt reassured that this would be an easy fix like it has been in the past. The plumber made some holes to troubleshoot and find out where the leak was coming from. I am aware that this is completely normal. The holes that the plumber made were a lot larger than have been made in the past by other plumbers. Not to big of a worry because the holes are still pretty easy to fix. I just thought it was strange that they were huge. Finally after a couple of hours, the guy finally found where the leak was coming from. The guy told me that the leak was coming from the sub flooring and that I need to call my home owners association to have them look at it to see if they want to have one of their plumbers fix it or if they want me to have Sal's plumbing come out to fix it.

My home owners association gave me the okay and recommended a different plumbing company. I called the other plumbing company and they came out to take a look at it. The new plumber told me that he thinks the leak is right below the sub flooring. He grabbed a flat head screw drive and slightly pulled the pipe away from the wood and sure enough, he was right. Keep in mind that this was and open hole that the previous plumber had opened. Less than an hour later, a new piece of piping was put in and the leak was fixed.  I did have to pay Sal,s a $98.00 diagnostic fee which is pretty standard. The new plumber only charged $215.00 to fix the leak.

My purpose for writing this review is for Sal's plumbing to possibly further their education for their plumbers. Maybe I got someone who was newer and still learning or maybe the person was just having a bad day. Or maybe the person just missed it. Either way I had to go another 48 hours with a leak. The reason I originally went with Sal's is because they had such good Yelp reviews. I hope this review helps the company in the future. I would not choose Sal's plumbing in the future based off of this experience. Yours truly, Pj

10/22/2015 :This is an update to my post. The owner Joe contacted me and was really concerned about my experience and the work performed. Thank you Joe for contacting me. It is rare nowadays for the owner to actually get involved and it shows me that you really care about your clients. The friendliness from the plumber that came out and the owner personally contacting me made me want to upgrade the overall service to 3 stars.

We had a leak under our sink and could not figure out where it was coming from.  Sal's had good reviews and it says that they've been in business for 40 years so we gave them a call.

David showed up - on time - major plus already and immediately got to work figuring out what was causing the leak.  He figured it out in seconds (seriously -- I barely got out the sentence, I'll be over here if you need me).  It turns out that the contractor who remodeled our kitchen knew nothing about plumbing and put the T in the wrong place, ran the dishwasher hose directly from the garbage disposal and used the wrong washers!  

He gave us a very fair price for coming out and the quick fix (to stop leaking now) and a very reasonable estimate to come back to redo all of the pipes/hoses under the sink when/if we want.

Also, as a woman and I also REALLY appreciated that he wasn't patronizing -- he explained everything to me as a fellow human being and showed me so that I could see exactly what he meant.  Thanks!

Luis from Sal's Plumbing Company came out to find out where a leak in the upstairs master bathroom shower/tub was dripping into the ceiling of my kitchen cause damage. I thought it was in the supply lines, but after some quick investigative work by Luis, he determined the leak was actually coming from corroded tile grout. The water was seeping through there and working its way down to the first floor. Needless to say, it was an easy fix for me. I still needed to do some patch work in the kitchen, but at least he didn't tear out any tile from the shower stall which I was bracing for.

Highly recommended!

If I could give more stars, I would.

The entire team at Sal's was amazing during our plumbing crisis.
We were never pressured into anything, given options and explanations were given every step of the way in order for us to make an informed decision on how to move forward. We were even given some options due to the holiday season coming up.

The repair took 5 days and we were never inconvenienced. The team made a stressful situation much better.

PLUS, The price for our repair was incredibly fair.

I cannot recommend them enough.

We have been using them exclusively for 6 years and every time they deliver with out excuse.  Recent job was to install two new toilets in a 50 year old unit -- replacing the original antiques.  They scheduled an inspection for the estimate...provided detailed advice regarding the best replacements (including how to save money on them at local retailers) and then showed up promptly 2 days later for the install that was a spotless, quiet and no drama event.  All of this while the house was full of people working and communicating.  In post pandemic US every service provider (especially the Fed/State/Local Govt) has a long litany of why they are falling short -- not Sal's!

I have had at least 7 different plumbers come and take a look at the shower leakage I had. None of them could fix the problem and just gotten worse where at one point I gave up. The leak of course got worse and when driving by I saw their van and took a picture to read some review from Yelp. Even before they arrived at my place I was very skeptical.  But OMG Sergio and one other plumber that came (sorry couldn't remember the name) was super professional and REALLY fixed the issue! They got to work after reviewing the problem and quoted the amount and did better than they promised. Now they will be my personal plumber when I have any issues. Thank you so much

I had a clogged shower drain and needed a plumber as soon as possible. I asked a few neighbors of their plumbing resources, and my next-door neighbor highly recommended  Sal's Plumbing Company in Torrance, as she said they have always done an excellent job whenever she had them out for plumbing issues.

Friday morning @ 9:30 am, I called Sal's Plumbing Company, Sal (the owner) answered the phone, and he scheduled my service call from 1:00-3:00 pm. Thomas from Sal's Plumbing Company arrived at my home @ 2:15 pm, diagnosed and explained the issue to me with the best solution to snake the drain to locate and remove the clog. The process only took about 10-15 minutes to resolve the problem. Thomas is friendly, patient and before I agreed for him to start working on our reported issue, he explained everything he needed to do in checking the condition of the plumbing before starting the job to the price of the job,

Thomas is a GREAT service technician and I will definitely call Sal's Plumbing Company again and request Thomas for any future plumbing needs.

I had a stopped up kitchen sink and bathroom tub.  When Thomas showed up, he took one look under my house (I have a raised foundation) and he said he knew the problem.  He wrote me a quote for a total job price, not an hourly rate.  He replaced the kitchen pipe and corrected the slope. Although this took two days, he made sure not to leave me without use of my plumbing.  He kept me well informed throughout the job as to the progress (he even took pictures and texted them to me).  I am very pleased with the job he did, as well as his professional way in accomplishing it.  He has a very pleasant personality, which made a dreadful experience much more bearable.

Our shower handles weren't functioning properly and the water flow wasn't stopping. When we attempted to fix it, the water ended up just coming out stronger.
We called Sal's plumbing and the office dispatched a plumber who was at our house within 30 minutes (he was finishing a job 10-min away).
Joey, our plumber, was knowledgeable and friendly. He told us exactly what part he needed and one of us was able to run to Lowe's and get the correct piece.
They quoted us a reasonable price and he got the job done efficiently while educating us on how to best maintain the pieces we did have.
Thank you Sal's for being so quick to solve our problem and Joey for his help, work, and knowledge. Excited to have Joey and Sal's Plumbing as my new go-to plumber.

As many in my neighborhood have experienced, our sewer lines get infested with roots like crazy. We've been in our current house for 7 years, and have had sewer line clogs 3 times before. The last time, we had epoxy lining blown in to try and solve the issue but lo and behold, 3 years later we backed up again. I messaged Sal's through Yelp and had a quick response with Thomas showing up just a few hours later as agreed. He snaked the line and showed me where the epoxy line came up short on the camera afterwards, making suggestions both for now as well as later, and got us moving again. Definitely going to be contacting Sal's in the future!

A big thanks to Bryan from Sal's Plumbing for providing excellent service and helping fix our draining issue quickly and efficiently.

The problem was that the sewage suddenly backed up, causing the toilets to overflow and sewage in the house.

I called Sal's Plumbing and was highly impressed with the service Bryan provided. Bryan arrived promptly and was able to diagnose the issue quickly. He explained the problem and provided a solution. Once I agreed to complete the work, Bryan got to work and completed the job efficiently and in a professional manner.  Because of this, the restoration specialists were able to start working right away.
The quality of the work was excellent and Bryan left the work area clean and tidy. The price was also very reasonable, and I received great value for my money.

Overall, I was very impressed with the service provided by him and would not hesitate to call Sal's Plumbing again in the future. If you need a reliable and professional plumbing service, I highly recommend giving them a call and of course, ask for Bryan.  You won't be disappointed.

We had a bathroom sink with a broken stopper and rusted out pipe below, so it was starting to have a little dripping. It wasn't urgent, but they were able to send someone the same day I called. The plumber luckily had the right part and replaced the drain-hole unit quickly. We were a little hesitant because of COVID-19, but he wore a mask, so we felt safe having him in the house and we wiped up after he left.

Beautiful job done professionally and taking care of the outlet from the kitchen sink and also replacing the clean out plug. Sal's and Luis will definitely be my go to call for pluming in the future.

They charged and no quote was issued. Sad to say I asked them to quote because of a good few yelp reviews. I would recommend not to use this service if this is their method of business.

Customer service is excellent. The work is spectacular. I just bought a house and needed a plumber badly. I called Sal's and spoke to Joe. He let me go through my inspection report from the home purchase with him. He was straight up with me and told what was imperative to be done. I needed a new water heater.

Well, the prior owners were really creative with how they kept their water heater to say the least. John came out, early, and went over the heater install. The heater was encased in a makeshift closet, was not raised, and had other issues. He broke it down what he was going to do. He did all the work without a peep. I felt really bad because it was especially hot that day, but no complaints from John. He just got it done.

Very happy with Sal's. Will call them again without hesitation if I'm in need.

So, we got minor leaks in the kitchen sink, which we thought was a bad valve and will need replacement. Called Mike Diamond as they've serviced us before.. after about 7 minute look, they wrote me an estimate for $1547.24! Seriously! $1547!!  I just couldn't do it! It just seemed so expensive and when I asked them to explain to me exactly what was happening, the guy was reading it off the estimate paper! Really?!?!

So I yelped and saw Sal's plumbing, read the reviews, good reviews so I called, they gave me a 2 hr window but came in an hour early. Fidel was our service guy, friendly and was very honest. Showed me exactly what is wrong and how he fixed the issue. It turned out, it was just a lose tube. I asked some more question to fully understand plumbing terms and he explained it to me patiently while showing me exactly how it works. The best part, it only cost me $78!!! He actually felt bad that he had to charge to fix such small issue but it's part of his job and I am more than thankful and willing to pay $78 vs. $1547. That is what you call an honest guy. Thanks Fidel!

I am very satisfied with the service I received from Sal's Plumbing. I have never had to call a plumber before and I admit that I didn't really know much about how to go about handling the plumbing emergency at my new condo.  As a woman, I always get nervous in situations like this because I don't know anything about plumbing or maintenance. I called a few places before I called Sal's Plumbing and I felt like the things they were telling me was way over my head and I was getting different quotes that didn't seem fair for my situation. When I called Sal's , I spoke with Kerrie and she was very understanding and tried to give me the information I needed by being straight to the point. I never felt like I was being talked down to for being frustrated or not knowing everything pertaining to my plumbing emergency. I didn't feel taken advantage of. The work they did was fast and professional. In and out. I will use them again and recommend them because they treated me professionally and with respect.

Thomas helped us with a major pipe burst project to replace our main line. He laid out the options and explained the processes clearly. Months later, Thomas also helped us with our malfunctioning sump pump. Again, he was transparent about the required work. On both occasions, the response time was very quick. I would definitely recommend Thomas the the company.

The last thing I want on a Saturday morning is for my toilet to overflow, so when that happened today, it was not a good start to the day. Fortunately, when I called Sal's plumbing, they were immediately responsive.  Leo and Wilson came out right away, were superstars and fixed the issue quickly and easily. I am definitely keeping this number in my contacts in my phone! Thanks so much!

At the risk of sounding like a commercial, these people actually take the pain out of plumbing problems! I was given an appointment the same day I called. Sergio arrived exactly on time, fixed our rather complicated sink issue, and was an absolute pleasure to have in our home. I've used this company several times before, and will continue to do so in the future. Thank you to all the staff at Sals!!!

Top notch, 5 star rating is what this company gets! I called tonight needing a plumber due to folks flushing wipes down the toilet. I immediately spoke to customer service, paid the after hours fee and it took less than 15 mins for Thomas to arrive. He came, fixed the issue, collected his bill all within 30 mins. I'll definitely be referring Sal's Plumbing to any and everyone. Thanks Thomas for a job well done.

Absolutely the most professional service I have ever had. The technician arrived early, was clean and very polite. He evaluated our problem quickly, knew exactly what we needed and executed it perfectly. He explained everything he did for us and showed us that it was back in working order before he left. I waited to write this review to see if the problem stayed fixed which it has. Thank you so much for the fast and friendly service. These guys are the best and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs help.

Had my sewer pipe clogged just from time and use. Called these folks Friday at noon and Sal's sent their best employee out and arrived within a few hours. Got a good price quote to replace 2 toilets. Dominic was the one who came through and worked hard with a 5:30P.M. arrival time. The supervisor Thomas came out to help a few hours later in the evening to help Dominic out and finished the job by 10:15P.M. Thomas did recommend a clear out and showed me a detail view underneath my sewage pipes 75 ft. down with a camera. I was impressed with their overall patience, professionalism and hard work! Will use and recommend Sal's plumbing in the future for sure!

My kitchen backed up and I called 2 companies: Rooter Hero & a local mom & pop. Rooter Hero had a discount going so I had them come out.  Rooter Hero wanted almost $430 saying I had 2 drains that were an issue. My neighbor and I thought that was too much so he called Sal's.  They came out within a few hours on NYE!  Thomas from Sal's did the work for $250 w/o upselling me or trying to do unnecessary work, like Rooter Hero tried to do.

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

My kitchen sink was clogged, but water was still slowly draining for a few days. Decided I should call someone to check it out. Sals guys came over and snaked it but insisted it was not clogged and the garbage disposal was the problem. Not true, the garbage disposal works just fine. After they left, the water wouldn't drain at all! They made it worse. I had to call another plumbing company and have them clear out the drain. Sals didn't charge me, and came out same day which is why I gave them 2 stars.

I'm always skeptical when I see companies with so many good reviews.   Now I understand why. On Saturday, I called Sal's Plumbing and within an hour Mike was at my door. He quickly determined the  problem was coming from another property. He was professional, knowledgeable, and more importantly patient with all of my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to call Sal's again.

I saw the positive Yelp reviews and called this company out to repair a leaking bathtub faucet.  The plumber pulled out the cartridge and said he'd have to get parts.  He went away for three days and came back with the news that the repair would cost $900!  I was shocked.  I told him that the price was excessive.  Guess what... the price magically went down to $750.  So I was being handled - they were bullying me.  Like a car dealership.  I told them the price was still FAR too high, and they said there was no way they could do it for less.  Liars.  I had to pay them $98 to go away.  What a ripoff.

I called another plumber and got the job done for $200.  Sal's Plumbing bullied and scammed me.  I paid them $98 dollars for exactly nothing.  I'm not sure how they get good reviews?  I have a feeling there's a lot of shill reviews in this listing.

Awesome plumbers! Called them out on a Sunday for an emergency and they came out not long after. No weekend up charge either, just straight up by-the-job pricing. The technician was respectful, hard working, open & honest about the problem and the pricing to fix it. They care as much about fixing your plumbing problem as you do. Would gladly recommend for any and all of your plumbing needs.

Mark form Sal's Plumbing serviced my home in May 2019, and he was AMAZING! He came on time, explained the issue (toilet in the guest bathroom), and was quick with a fix.  He literally pointed to the fix in 30 seconds. Because of him, I would use this company again. Thanks Mark!!

My drain was backing up and my regular plumber couldn't get to me because it was late in the day. I looked on Yelp and others couldn't do the service because it was almost 5 pm. Based on several good Yelp reviews, I took a chance with these guys. The woman who picked up the call was knowledgeable and got a plumber to me within the hour.  The plumber Al, came in a well kept service van full of tools and he was a professional and a gentleman. He took care of the problem by snaking the main drain. They charged $150 with a 30 day warranty and I believe that's totally fair. I'm keeping them on my speed dial and will definitely be using them for other properties in the South Bay.

Sal's is outstanding.  I called at 8:15 on Tuesday with a bath that wouldn't drain and toilet that would not flush.  Within one hour, Arturo was there with his partner and they fixed the issue within 45 minutes!  They also showed with an advanced camera where the problem was coming from -- roots had grown through the clay connection to the cast iron pipes.  Arturo was diligent, courteous and honest.  Basically the best plumber you could wish for when in a serious jam.  I would recommend Arturo and his team to anyone with a plumbing problem.  Couldn't be more thankful!

Very prompt  and fast. They came out within an hour on a Sunday to fix a clog in a sewage line. I have three restaurants and will be giving these guys another try when we encounter future plumbing issues. Wish I had found them  just 1 week sooner when we had a break in a main that cost  $8k.

Kitchen drain clogged on Sunday afternoon. Tried snaking it myself but had to call the big dogs! These guys came within 2hr window. Kitchen is on 2nd floor, so the pipes were pretty difficult to snake. Took a bit longer to get around the pipes, but got the cloggs out! No extra charge. Honest and professional! And most of all, friendly!

My attempt at fixing the kitchen faucet was a major fail.  I called Sal's plumbing late Saturday afternoon for a service call- the person who answered the phone was friendly and helpful.  Based on my schedule, we arranged an appointment for Sunday at noon to 2 PM.  The service tech- Geno, arrived early and was professional and friendly (even with my crazy dog), and he completed the work very quickly with no mess.  I was extremely impressed with my experience with Sal's Plumbing and I highly recommend this company.

Pipe underneath the house was found leaking pretty bad. I turned off the water and inspected myself. Seemed like a rather easy fix as the only issue was the SharkBite connection between PEX and copper had failed. As this was the main line for the kitchen, it was a priority to get this fixed. Called for emergency services (after hour services and $100 on top of any service cost), and the guy who showed up was nice enough, but from the very get go as I explain the issue, the excuses started. I don't have the right equipment, I may not be able to do it, it's late and it would take me all night if the main shutoff valve doesn't turn off the water. Yes, I understand it's after hours, but that was the reason I requested EMERGENCY services. The objective of the excuses was to try to absolve himself of resolving the issue that night and come back the next morning.

The quote comes back at $700.... $700!!! Now, I'm no plumbing expert, but I've had similar exact issues in the past and know the cost of materials. It's a very quick job if you know what you're doing. Being extremely generous and saying the materials are $100 (5 feet of copper pipe and 2 slip fittings), plus the extra cost of emergency services, which I was still being charged mind you despite him coming back during normal business hours, there is no way in hell that this is a 5 hour. I don't know in what world you get to $700. I was shocked, but reluctantly signed the quote as I needed the work done, and this is with him coming back the next day.

I got no sleep that night being super pissed knowing we were being taken advantage of. As soon as I could, I went to Home Depot at 6AM and got a $10 SharkBite slip fitting. I figured I could at least fix it enough to allow us the water until a real plumber comes and fixes it. By 7am, the job was done. The water line worked well enough and I called to cancel the service. I didn't want the guy needlessly traveling to our house when I already fixed the issue. What motivated even more to try to fix the issue was when I got underneath the house again to try to repair it myself, I reviewed the guy's temporary fix. He had grabbed a piece of plastic and wrapped it around the fitting... He somehow thought this would slow down the issue???? Really? The only reason the pipe was leaking as slow as it was because I turned off the main water supply. Yes, it's still leaking slowly because the pipe isn't fully drained. Hello?!?!

Anyways, I called a real plumber who came out and fixed it on that same day. The price of the fix?? $225. An hour or so worth of labor roughly and whatever material + profit. $700 vs $225. To add insult to injury, the guy from Sal's was trying to sell me on upgrading my pipes to PEX before even fixing the original issue. At least fix the emergency issue first before trying to sell me on new stuff. He said there were some pin hole leaks in two spots. He showed me the pictures. When I went down there, there was zero water where the supposed leaks were. I touched the pipes and grabbed a cloth to see perhaps maybe there was some water and it was too cold for me to notice. Nope. Nothing. Yes, there was corrosion and there may be a pinhole leak sometime in the next couple years, but there wasn't one there now. I felt lied to and like we were being taken advantage of. I'm still mad at the situation and I want others to be aware of this type of service from Sals. Now when I read these 1-star reviews mentioning overpriced service, I totally believe them. I will never ever contact Sals again for any service what so ever.

We busted a sprinkler head in our yard and had to call someone FAST. Sal's was able to get us a plumber in less than 15 minutes, even though they had quoted closer to 30-45. The technician was knowledgeable, polite, and fast, fixing the problem quickly, before our yard was totally flooded. We will be using them for any planned (or unplanned!) plumbing needs for sure. Highly recommended.

First and foremost they send out unlicensed plumbers.  Second the plumbers try to take advantage of the customers lack of plumbing knowledge and expertise. Two guys came to my house and totally tried to rip me off. Luckily I had three other estimates lined up the same day. I would not recommend them or do business with them. I can get the toilet replaced for way less than what they tried to charge me to fix it. Total con artists. Again do your research because they will try to rip you off!!

We have one property in Palos Verdes Estates area and we have new tenant just moved in recently. There are quite a few of plumbing problems need prompt attention and resolved. I searched on yelp and found Sal's plumbing and called them and try to set up the same appointment.  The customer service is excellent and they worked out to find a young gentleman Gino, Gino came to the site in 30 min and he checked the problems and explained each detail to me and quoted me  a reasonable price and he began to work immediately after got my authorization on the phone.  Tenant told me he worked very hard for 3 hours and fixed everything they need.  In next few days, the toilet and tank were also need to be replaced due to long time use and the bath faucet was also needed to be repaired.  So I called Sal's plumbing again and met Gino on the site on the same day. He is very polite, honest, and worked very efficiently and leave the site very clean.  I am very satisfied with the company and plumber Gino and would like to recommend to all of  my friends. Thank you, Gino!

I needed a plumber to address something that was raised by a home inspector when I bought my new house. Thomas came out and took a look and gave me some peace of mind since he was honest and told me that I don't need that much extensive work the home inspector might have suggested. He also fixed a leaky shower faucet and replaced the toilets in my bathrooms and did a great job. Will be calling again for honest advice when I do get my bathrooms remodeled later this year.

Thomas to the rescue!

We would drain our upstairs tub, and it would come up in the kitchen sink downstairs... along with stinky gunk from the pipes.  Gross.  

Thomas snaked the kitchen twice, and then went to the hall (further along the path of gross gunk), and snaked it there.  It took a while and dedicated effort, but he got the clog moving and now water drains properly again.

Much appreciated.  Professional and friendly.  Thank you.

Fidel is the best plumber in the business. He came and inspected a home I was in escrow to purchase and gave me a fair and excellent price. He came on time, was extremely respectful, and went above his duty to give me excellent service. He crawled under my crawl space and gave me a detailed report on the condition of every pipe, drain, overflow and sewer pipe underneath the house. I would definitely recommend him if you want to save time and money!

Called them , gave them all the info including the CC over phone and scheduled a small repair. They dropped the ball on me and refused to provide service. Very disappointing and unprofessional.

On April 16 2018 around 9am, I used Yelp to find a plumber to change the angle stop behind the refrigerator for my rental in Wilmington,CA 90744 and i was supposed to let them in through the gate when they arrive. Sal's plumbing offered to help and i provided his company my personal Best Buy visa CC, phone and the condo address.Appointment was set & agreed to between 11am-1pm same day.

At one point they called me before showing up, and i missed their call , & called them right back. When i called back Joe G. presumably owner of Sal's plumbing sounded upset and stated he listened to my voicemail and they don't want to work for me because someone in my company tried to take them to court 2 years ago ????????????
I tried explaining we have a popular name and there is certainly a mistake and he has me confused with someone else,  and just hanged up.
I do happen to work for a company with similar name that he mentioned,  for the last 7 years.However i did NOT request their service on behalf of my company whatsoever, and the company i work for does not do business with Sal's plumbing whatsoever in the past or present etc.

They had my address, phone and personal CC#.
After this experience i went on Yelp and left a 1 star review for the experience with Sal's plumbing.Soon right after , Joe G. messaged me using YELP and stated that he returned the favor and threatened with retaliation.

This is the worst experience i had with a plumbing company this entire spring  and i don't really write bad reviews unless its just bad.

If you need a professional plumber for the Carson / Wilmington area i recommend calling: Al-Garcia's plumbing or Tony's plumbing. I had a very  positive experience with them and they turned the bad caused by this company into a positive experience.

Very pleased with the service I got from Sal's Plumbing. I have been looking for a new plumber for quite a while, and I'm happy to say my search is over. Before I found them, I had another company come out for a clogged pipe. Three different plumbing trucks and three hours later, nothing was fixed and they were telling me they had to come back another day and rip up my floors. That's when I called Sal. In less than an hour, they had the clog completely cleared also fixed another small clog in a different pipe. I will definitely be calling them again to install a new clean out for our troublesome pipe. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a professional, skilled, trustworthy plumbing company!

We've been using Sal's Plumbing for years, and our family relies on them for services too.  We recently contacted Sal's to install three new bathroom sink faucets.  As always, they responded to our call right away.  Mike was great--super professional and courteous.  We couldn't be happier with the look and functionality of our new faucets.  Another job very well done, and we highly recommend Sal's plumbing for large and small projects.

I'm a landlord in the South Bay and as a landlord you have to have good handymen and contractors on call.  Sal's plumbing has helped me throughout the years and I have found them to be the best in terms of price, knowledge and integrity.  While on vacation last year my tenant sent me a message saying the plumbing was backing up into the house.  Sal's plumbing assessed the situation and fixed it fast.  I have used other plumbing companies in the past and now continue to use Sal's because they have earned my business through consistent professionalism.

I started hearing a leak under the house over a week ago but was in denial about it. I didn't know a reliable plumber and was afraid of the cost. I found Sal's on Yelp and thank goodness I did! I was running late from work to our scheduled appt but Fidel was so understanding and he took care of the problem in no time at all. Everyone from Joe the manager who took all my phone calls to Fidel, the customer service was EXCELLECT!!! Joe was not only professional and empathetic to my situation but straight up and honest. Fidel was friendly, knowledgeable, and thorough! The price was more than fair and I can actually wash dishes, take a shower and wash my hands without the horrible leak! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I will recommend Sal's to everyone I know! xoxoxo

If you need pluming help, look no further, Thomas is the one! He is knowledgable, skillful, and honest.

My kitchen sink was backed up with water and it was about to flood over, to a point I had to remove buckets from the top.

In panic, I searched Yelp for the nearest plumber with the best review and called up Sal's. I was quickly connected to someone to come that morning.

Thomas came and looked at the situation. Mindful of the coronavirus pandemic, he was well prepared with a face mask, rubber gloves, and shoe covers.

After looking around, he thoroughly explained to me what he needs to do and was upfront with the cost. All the time, he was very pleasant and patient.

He did try to unclog the kitchen sink, but soon realized that he needed to go deeper and had to access it from below.

While I called our HOA and got in touch with all the necessary people in our complex, Thomas was very helpful explaining what he did so far and what additional work he needed to do.

The pipes that he needed to unclog was above a car that we needed to move. It took a very long time for the owner to come and move the car, but all along Thomas was there for me and really wanted to help get it fixed.

Ultimately, he was able to find the clog and get it removed and our kitchen sink is back to good!

I have worked with several plumbers, while living in many homes, but Thomas is by far the best I have worked with so far.

This guy really sincerely wants to help you fix your plumbing problems and I am sure to call him up next time for help.

Mike is the absolute best plumber I've ever worked with. I was having a water filtration system installed in my house and we found a leak. Mike was able to come out in less than 3 hours, assess the situation, connect me with a restoration company to remove the standing water from under my house and come back and fix our pipe. I swear it only took him like 15 minutes to fix it once he was able to get into the space. And now we are able to turn our water back on again thank goodness. He's such a pro and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a plumber. I will be using Mike and Sal's plumbing for as long as I'm in this house.

Luis was here very on time and professionally fixed the problem quickly. He even noticed a plumbing issue at our water line and provided information and quote on how to fix it as well. Also got a souvenir pen since I forgot to bring a pen for the check. Very happy customer! Thank you Luis!

Had to turn the water off at the main valve to fix a small DIY issue in the bathroom.  Went to turn the water back on the valve blew and was spewing water.  Got the water turned of at the street valve.  Went to yelp and found Sal.  Up shows Fidel who was very professional and pleasant.   Had the valve changed out and was up and running in no time ! Thank you Fidel for your great work!! Highly recommend!

Updated Review 12/8/15

After posting a review where I expressed concern with my experience I was immediately contacted by Joe who was more than happy to help me out.  He has really gone above and beyond in making sure my husband and I are happy with our experience.  It is not very often anymore that we come across companies that really care and want to make issues right in the end.  I would recommend this company to ensure quality customer service and fast response!

Loved the professionalism and quick turnaround .
I had sink clogging issues and Nick was best as he went above and beyond to not only make sure the issue is fixed but patiently drained the sink with hot water and soap to ensure the problem does not reoccur ..
I highly recommend using Sals and specially Nick

Highly recommended!! Plumbing issues are always a pain, but the staff were so friendly and helpful from the receptionist to the plumbers. They came out really quickly and did a great job! They explained what the issues were and what they were doing to resolve it, kept me informed each step of the way. Respectful of my house, very professional. Prices are great and they really helped make this inconvenient situation as pleasant as possible. I'd happily call them for future issues and definitely recommend them to my family and friends!!

They were able to send Thomas out on the same day, and a weekend. We had a blockage in our main line. Our clean out is smaller than most and in the back of the house. Even though the snake wouldn't reach the main sewer line on the street, Thomas was kind enough to try and see if the blockage was somewhere in the first 80 feet. Unfortunately the problem persisted and thinks it's somewhere under the front yard. He explained all my options at that point and the risks with each based on the older plumber under our house and was able to provide me a quote and explained they could come out the following day, a Sunday, to correct the problem that would take more work and man power. Since he wasn't able to fix the issue he didn't charge me. I appreciate the honesty and effort, and Thomas was a very nice guy!

I'm a landlord so it's important for plumber to answer their phone. I use to use another local plumber for many yrs, however, they are basically a Mon-Fri outfit and have a emergency phone #. On 5/24/20 Sunday, I had a shower/toilet drain clog at one of the apts. I called their emergency number at 9:30am, waited 45 min for a call back, no call, so I called Sal's Plumbing. To my surprise, Rachel answered the phone (yay!) and said they can send a plumber between 2-4pm. Gino, plumber, showed up around 1pm. The clog actually cleared by itself, however, he said we need to schedule snake and use camera to see where clog is. We scheduled for Tue 5/26 since 5/25 was holiday. Gino determined that there were 2 clogs in main sewer line. The main sewer line needed to be jetted (high pressure flushing. Not cheap, but they did a lot of work. Will use Sal's from now on. Excellent service!

Took my first shower in my new place and came downstairs to a flooded kitchen. Found Sal's online and based on good reviews I gave them a call. A few hours later the leak was fixed and good as new. Reasonable price for what they had to do and very professional service. Would definitely use them again.

I called this last Friday morning and Joe answered promptly.  I have a rental in the South Bay and I needed to get a plumber over there quickly, and Joe said sure, we can do that.  I called their office around 8:15 am and someone was on the job by 11 am.  My tenants were completely satisfied with their efficiency and quality of service.  

In today's service market, it is a welcome surprise when someone actually answers the phone; not a frustrating recording.  The day after Easter, I received a computer-generated printed invoice and gladly placed a check in the mail.

Sal's Plumbing Company provides excellent plumbing services and excellent customer service.

Repeat customer. Originally I had Sal's plumbing replace a water pressure regulator. The price was fair and the service was great and professional. I recently had them return to inspect a leak. I had a few concerns about the leak, estimate and service, but the owner, Joe, was able to address my concerns and made things right. Also the plumber was right on time! Thanks Joe.

Saturday mornings with plumbing issues (mainline clog) can put a damper on your weekend plans, but Sal's (or should I say Marvin?) saved the day!  

The person who answered the phone was pleasant and gave me a reasonable time window and said she would call if they could arrive earlier.
 
Marvin arrived well with in the time window and was done in less than hour..  No non-sense, no upsells just pure hard work and customer service!  Price was right as well!

Will definitely use Sal's again (hopefully not too soon!) for my plumbing needs!!

First off, I don't give 5 stars but I have nothing but good things to say about Sal's Plumbing and my man Pedro!   He arrived in an hour to fix a broken pipe under the Kitchen sink and refurbished the pipes, getting rid of the waste disposal all in one visit.   He gave me an estimate upfront plain-and-simple and didn't upsell me on anything.  He was dressed professionally despite the the weather here was super-hot and all!    

His work was at a reasonable price and with a warranty!  You can bet I'll use Sal again.

This is my second time using Sal's Plumbing. They are always very professional, courteous, and affordable. They arrived within the time window given, the service was fast, and they gave me a quote on how to fix the problem permamnetly for the long term. Thomas was very helpful and kind; my dog loved him(he usually doesn't like anyone who wears working boots), and Thomas even took care of a very scary looking spider trying to come into our house! I will definitely use Sal's Plumbing for all my plumbing needs. Thank you all so much and God bless you!

Great thing is they came last minute and got the job done (turning on the water heater).

Turning on the water heater is not hard to do (youtube) but I couldn't get the gas going so I called Sal's. I just moved into the house, so I guess there was a earthquake trigger that needed to be reset.

Although the prices was a bit high to start, Joe (the owner) reached out and made it right and I'm more than happy with the rate, the service, and the ability Sal's has to come at such last minute hours.

To have the owner contact me to make sure I was happy really made the difference with my experience with Sal's.

I called in the morning on a Tuesday and Salvador showed up at qbout 12:30pm...just around the time the phone rep quoted he would.  It was an embarrasingly easy job of changing out a leaky hose bib, something I had started doing but chickened out of for fear of breaking the pipe.  Since I was going to pay by credit card, he gave me the invoice and I just had to call in to the main office to run the card over the phone.  No muss, no fuss.  I feel they are a reliable, honest company so I wouldnt have a problem using them again or recommending them to friends.

We had a plumbing nightmare with all of our toilets and showers completely backed up so we made an appt with Sal's for Mon evening after work. Thomas came by and was able to fix what was occurring in the main drain in a timely and efficient manner. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and trustworthy -  it didn't feel like he was trying to over- sell services. The recommendations he provided made sense, and it felt like he had our best interest in mind. Thank you Sal's, we will be using you for all our future plumbing needs.

I'd call them again.

The day I called they were booked for appointments .. They put me on a wait list just in case something opened up and scheduled me for the next day.

Day of, we got a call from Sals letting us know they can come sooner. Chris showed up.. Found the problem .. Left for parts .. Came back and finished up.

The tech was friendly and knowledgeable.. Quick worker.

I wasn't expecting the price to be as high as it was..

But, I'd call them again.

Part 3 ...... after 4 days without water I must say that it felt great to be able to turn on the faucet.  If you ever call Sal's plumbing and I highly recommend that you do, only ask for Christopher and Joel.  They are a great team, are both hard working, came on time, was very respectful  and gave me the best price whenever possible.  They did a great job fixing my plumbing problems and continued to do a an excellent job cleaning up. I couldn't ask for anything more.  Chris and Joel were the best.  I will use Sal's again only because of the great service these two guys gave us.

Sal was a referral from a client of mine. As I was selling a clients home I was also helping him purchase a home. My  clients were extremely busy and asked me to reach out to Sal's Plumbing as he had helped hem in the past. I was able to be of service to my clients and Sal was such a pleasure to work with. I learned quite a bit about cleanouts and their maintenance as well as new main lines. I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing. Affordable prices, amazing knowledge and extremely professional.

I've been a customer for over 10 years. I was referred to them by a friend, who had a good experience. I like the fact that they guarantee their work and if something goes wrong, they will make it right. Recently, I had a broken water pipe outside and it was like a geyser. Bryan capped it right away. The following day he brought the appropriate parts and installed a shutoff valve (it didn't have one at that location). He's a friendly guy and will take care of you.

Sal's plumbing saved the day for me.  We have a two story house with our bathrooms being on top of each other.  I woke up in the middle of the night to a leaky ceiling.  I called Sal's first thing in the morning and they had someone out to me within an hour.  I thought I had a leak from the upstairs shower and would be a quick fix. That was not the case. I had a leak in the pipe in my ceiling.  Long story short, Sal had to cut out half of my ceiling to get to the root of the problem. What would have taken a number of days was done in two.  I was very happy with the work.  The best part was they went the extra mile to color match my ceiling perfectly once everything was back together. They now have a customer for life and I will spread the word.  Thank you Sal's.

Incompetent and dishonest! This company was scheduled to hydrojet the drain line for my clients who were buying the house. After waiting for the whole 2 hour window from 3-5pm, they show up at 5:20 pm and it's dark outside and without the hydrojetter machine! He  said there was no way the line could have debris when they hydrojetted it 2 months earlier. Well there was debris so obviously they didn't do a thorough job the first time. They promised to come back tomorrow to hydrojet and send a video of the line. The video received was a video of the outside of the techs camera screen not of the inside of the line. I spoke with Marvin over the phone and he said he would send another video of the inside of the line, but that never happened. He completely LIED about there being a proper video of the inside of the line. The office confirmed there was only one video of the screen taken. Also, they weren't able to diagnose a crack in the drain line that another plumber company did.

They were able to contact the fixture company and with little assistance they had it put back together and working correctly within 20 minutes!  Thank you for your honesty and your persistence in doing everything possible before going the drastic route (cutting into the wall). I really appreciate you taking over this project and making me feel like I was your only customer. If any other plumbing issues arise, your company will be the one I turn to. Thank you again!

Sal's plumbing has the WORST customer service. The girls that answer the phones are rude and have poor customer service skills. They hang up on you when you try to follow up or before you can ask for their name. Poor customer service and lack of communication. Spend your money elsewhere.

I received a call from my rental home this morning that there is no hot water. Well, after checking around on yelp local listings I found this company with good review and they are nearby.  So I made a call booked an appoint the same day in the afternoon. Lady on the phone asked about the size and type of the water heater and told me it is free to come out to inspect.  Everything sound good until the plumber came out checking the water heater, he call to inform me that the pilot assembly is so complicated that the whole entire water heater needs to be replaced, at cost of a whooping $1275, and he has already replaced 3 of them today prior to our appointment.  For that price I decided to get a 2nd opinion. called another local plumbing company that able to come out on the same afternoon, it took the new plumber less than 10 min to replace the thermocouple and saved me over $1000. Most importantly, now there is hot water.  I give it 2 stars on this review because at least they came out for free...

Update:  I had few honest email exchange with the company since the posting of this review, through that I do realize the damage and importance a review can cause to a small business. Given the amount of good review they had on yelp and acknowledgement of the mishandling from the management, and their responsiveness since the review. I do believe they deserve a good second chance. I now give them a 4 star instead of 2.

We had an emergency over the weekend. Both our sink and bathtub drains were clogged. I called Sal's, and in less than 30 minutes Thomas came by to snake away hair and debris in the bathtub drain. He correctly sensed that the pipes under our sink were delicate and required more extensive work at a future time. So he taught us how to jiggle the stopper mechanism to clear away small debris. Worked like a charm. Highly recommended! Nice to have an option like this in the South Bay.

They must have sent someone new. Dude took 5 hours to clear the drain. He was on the phone calling someone for advice the whole time. He did eventually finish but he kept trying to push for a new clean out and main line. The price over the phone we were quoted ended up costing us more than double. I can't say I will use again. The guy was super nice and clean he was just not experienced enough.

After calling another plumbing company 3x and getting no answer, response or even an answering machine, I decided to call Sal's Plumbing based on the all the great Yelp reviews.  I've been mislead before on some Yelp reviews so I was a little apprehensive since good honest service is very hard to find to these days and you never know if owners having their friends post for them.  Yet, when I called the first time someone answered and believe it or not a plumber came and fix my bathtub that wasn't draining within 30 mins.  It might have been my luck that the guy was already in the area but still that's great service there.  The guy even gave me tips on how to better preserve my bathtub in the future since there was a slight crack by the drain area. I'm impressed and will be saving Sal's number should there be another plumbing issue in our house.

Sal's Plumbing is the BEST!  Tree roots clogged up my dad's clay sewer pipes this time, standing water underground.  Of course we called Sal's.  They dispatched an honest, kind plumber to us, Nick Rubio (310-386-3411), who used a camera to show us why water wasn't flowing properly.  I live 2 hours away from my dad's house, so Nick had to be there to take care of the problem without me.  

Needless to say, Nick was on it.  He cleared the pipe and then advised that we need to repipe the remainder of the clay pipe towards the city main sewer line because the clay pipes have totally corroded and the tree roots may come back.  Because our clean out was in a weird place IN the house, Nick recommended that we put a new cleanout outside so that a mess would never take place in the house again.  He and his guys dug down 6 full feet of soil on our driveway and put a new cleanup there, then he installed a permaliner (via trenchless technology) to the city main sewer line.  He even came back and checked on the cleanout for me (as the cement was drying on the new cleanout area) and rubbed out the initials that some kids wrote on the wet cement.  He made sure the whole area was cleaned up and that everything worked as they should.  At my request, he snaked out all 4 toilets and checked out all 5 sinks in the house to ensure that the house would not have water backup problems again.  And during this whole process, I was nowhere near the house.  Nick kept me informed the entire time and even sent me photos to ease my mind.

Nick Rubio (310-386-3411) is the man at Sal's Plumbing to call.  We are very happy with Nick's service at Sal's Plumbing.  We keep coming back to them for good reason.  I've given his number out to many friends.  Top recommendations for Nick at Sal's Plumbing.  Thank you so much!

Our backyard hose has had a bad leak for weeks, and my dad was too busy to fix it, so I called Sal's Plumbing. Gino was very professional and friendly. He was quickly able fix the problem by replacing the bib and valve. Now we don't have a purple plastic bucket collecting the drips.

It seemed like a pretty simple fix, but suddenly there was a major leak coming from the other side of the yard, underneath a container filled with my dad's old aquarium things. Water was just pooling up, and when we moved the container we discovered that there was a completely open pipe. Water was coming out because the backyard water line was turned on. Now I know why my dad had it turned off, and covered by the container... I would have never known this about our house had it not been for this repair.

I definitely was not expecting all of this excitement this fine Sunday afternoon. I would highly recommend Sal's and am glad to have found a great plumbing service!

We had the pleasure of having Al (not Sal) come to our home to repair a connection to our washing machine.   He did everything he could to not have to cut into the wall.    This included coming back a second day after checking another supply store.    Al showed up and unfortunately due to the odd size of the fixture, Al did have to cut a hole in the wall.   However, he made sure it was cut so it would be easy to patch up.  

I felt that Al did try to do everything he could to minimize the additional work on our end.   He replaced both the hot and cold valves with a standard size fixture.  

I would highly recommend Al of Sal's!

Have to agree with the others who feel taken advantage of.  

The guy showed up on time and fixed the problem, but his work was never approved by me nor did we discuss repair pricing.  He was only brought in to diagnose the issue.  Next thing I know I'm being presented with an outrageous invoice, and he got angry when I questioned it.  

My regular plumber stopped by yesterday and inspected the work.  He says I overpaid by 2-3 times what anyone else would charge.

What a scam.  If you value your money look elsewhere.  They got one over on me this time, but I will never use them again nor recommend them to anyone I know.

Thomas helped me out to clear out the drain and fix the grinder. While it costs 300 plus to switch grinder, he tried his best to have it fixed and didnt cost me that much. Honest worker and came same day which i needed asap.

We have used Sal's Plumbing on 3 separate occasions for different projects.  They are very fast, friendly, and very reasonable.  They do quality work and always gives a quote before they begin the work.  If additional parts are required they will explain and ask permission before proceeding.  Great work will definitely be using them again.  Highly recommended.

I had a bad kitchen faucet with extremely low water pressure.  I called and David arrived at the agreed upon time.  He loosened some water lines under the sink and let me know the flex lines and faucet lines were all calcified from our hard water.  He could replace my flex lines and attempt to clear the faucet lines, but it wouldn't be a long term fix if it even worked.

He suggested I buy a new faucet and he'd come back and install it.  He didn't charge me for that initial visit since I would be better served with a complete replacement.

I purchased a new faucet and gave Sal's Plumbing another call.  David came out again and installed my new faucet.  

He had the correct size flex lines, but he didn't have the correct brass compression adaptors to connect the flex lines coming from the wall to my new faucet lines.  The new faucet lines were different than the outgoing bad faucet so the old brass adaptors wouldn't work.  David said I could go to the hardware store to get the new parts while he continued to remove the old faucet.  This would reduce my labor costs since he wouldn't leave the job to purchase the non-standard sized brass adaptors.  After purchasing the parts, he finished the installation.  The faucet and water pressure have been great the two weeks since the installation.  Great customer service!

We were having plumbing problems and so we called Sal. We had some parts fixed before by another guy and were surprised when more plumbing issues appeared. We called and they came that day. They worked really hard and hooked us up with people from the city to fix the part of our system that was connected to the city.
Nick was amazing and helped us so much!!!

My hubby and I just moved into our new home, and were freaked out to find that the kitchen sink was not draining, instead it was backing up all kinds of foul water. We called a few plumbers. I had another plumber quote me $1650 to have a drain running correctly and fix a leak under the house. Thats all fine and dandy but I need the water to drain NOW, at least temporarily. so I began calling all over LA and Sal's was able to come by in JUST 2 HOURS! wow! Thanks!!! and they plumber took a look and said yeah, I can fix this I was surprised.... you can fix it when? he said now, it will take me an hour, and we can tackle your other problems down the line so he fixed my 2 issues: the drain snake, and the installation of the laundry washer drain, for $180. WOW. now I have time to save up the $5000 and go ahead and re-pipe the whole house when I am not recovering from the closing costs and moving costs that all hit me this week. Thanks Sal's!!!

I had an emergency plumbing issue with my home we purchased less than a year ago.

Tonight we had a bubbling toilet and and a dripping pipe. I called at 6pm on a Friday night (tonight) and they answered and were able send out Thomas in two hours!!!

The problem ended being a rusty cast iron pipe that created a blockage. We will need to eventually replace this.

I'm so grateful we were able to get help so quickly! Thomas was extremely helpful, hardworking and professional. Will be calling Sal's back when we're ready to replace that pipe!!!

I had a pipe between my first and second floor spring a leak and they came in late at night and found the source of the problem, showed me how to turn off my main water line.  Early next day they came and took off the busted pipe and replaced within an hour.  Fast, courteous and expert service.  Price was affordable as well.  I definitely recommend their services.

This is the second time I have used Sal's plumbing and I couldn't be happier.  They came out on a windy cold Saturday night to snake my kitchen line.  Unfortunately after several attempts it still had a partial blockage.   Thomas came back on Sunday with a bigger snake and fixed the problem and he only charged me for one visit.  He also advised me on a long term solution to the problem and provided a very reasonable quote.  Overall I have found Sal's people very honest and focused on excellent customer service.

I was having some problems with my water pressure and I saw Sal's plumbing on yelp. I decided to give Sal's a try for the first time. After I called it only took about an hour for Arturo (the technician) to arrive at my house. Arturo was very clean and had an excellent personality, ended up having a good conversation about more than just plumbing. He fixed my water pressure problem in less than 5 minutes, and went way beyond my expectations (even killed a big spider with a tissue without me asking). This was my first time calling Sal's plumbing but thanks to Arturo I will be calling Sal's for all of my future plumbing needs.

Our water heater broke.  They sent a nice plumber (who I do not hold responsible) that stated company minimum here was $1,675 for a great water heater with install.  Mind you the heater has its own closet one foot from my front door with one step to get in.  This is probably nearly the easiest install ever.  

I sent for some quotes via yelp and in 10 minutes every single response was for 999 -1199.  

Taking advantage of a customer in trouble is just supply and demand, I get that's business.  But to overcharge a family in a pinch this much is a little shameful.

Sal contractors have been very helpful in finding a tricky leak I had at inlet pipe to my shower. They were always responsive. After the leak fix, we had a slow flow with the valve. Joe offered to send their guy free of charge to see what is wrong. We eventually have to replace the valve too and found a small pebble that got stuck in the valve. I would recommend Sal plumbing since they take full accountability until the problem is solved

Found a leak behind a wall on a Sunday and thought I was going to be one of the stories, much to my surprise and significant pleasure I am not.  Called the office at 12pm and Joe, the owner said he handles these jobs all the time and would have his guy, Jon out to my house within an hour.  Jon came by 12:45 and started looking for the leak.  He found the leak with a couple of small holes in the walls and said no problem and it wasn't.  Jon was friendly and very competent and had the job finished in less than 2.5 hours.  I now have a friend in the plumbing business.

Thanks for the great job.

As a homeowner I find myself faced with unexpected home issues quite often, and finding the right company can be difficult.  When it comes to plumbing look no further than Sal's.

From the moment I first contacted Sal's I knew I was in good hands.  They made me feel comfortable on the phone, assuring me that no matter how bad I thought my problem was they would take care of it.

They offered to send someone out immediately, which is NEVER the case with most repair companies.  How many times have you had to choose between 8-12pm and 5-9pm?  Not with Sal's.  When I was not able to be home at their suggested time they offered to get someone out at a time that was convenient for my family and I.  

Once the gentlemen arrived he shook my hand, introduced himself, and told me not to worry.  He quickly assessed the situation, joked with me about my kids probably being the cause of the clogged drain, and went to work.  15 minutes later my drains were clear and he was packing up - leaving no sign that he had ever even been there (I have had folks show up in the past covered in mud from a previous job, tracking it through the house, etc - but not with Sal's).

I HIGHLY recommend them and though I hope I wont have to depend on them again, I know that if I do I am in great hands.

Thanks guys!

Our garbage disposal under the kitchen sink was leaking.  I called Sal's plumbing and they sent Gino the next day. He was on time and got to work right away. It turned out the garbage disposal was loose not broken.  He was able to readjust it.  Gino not only save my garbage disposal from being replaced, he did it free of charge.

Recommend them for your plumbing needs, without hesitation! We had the pleasure of having Thomas come out (mind you, it's Easter Sunday!) to perform a new home inspection of the sewage line. He was very professional and thorough, plus very honest and informative. Pricing is fair. Will continue to use them (but hopefully won't need them too often!)

It was the day after 4th of July, I have called some plumbing companies.  Sal's Plumbing answered the phone right away and able to come to my house even though they were so busy after holidays. I had Robert came to my house . He was friendly and pleasant . What I noticed was he loved what he does and he cares about customers.  However ,after the work the same plumber has visited my home with his wife in the car ( not the company car ) shared the story of his family and looking for place to live since they are living in the motel . This worker has been great at his work but should not cross boundary with the customer with personal issues . I felt uncomfortable , unsafe . I will not call this company again . I don't know if they screen the workers for back ground . For that reason I will take stars back . Lack of professional ism .

I had a sewer backup and when I contacted a plumber friend (from out of the area) he referred me to Sals. They even told me to wait until Sunday morning to call as it would be cheaper than an after hours Saturday night call out. I called at 0730 Sunday and was given a 1000 appt. They called back around 0900 and said he would be late 15-30 minutes and he arrived at 1030. Jay was friendly and quickly got to work and had the stoppage opened within 30 minutes. The price quoted was fair and reasonable and I would use them again.

I've used Sal's Plumbing for the past couple of years for the business that I own.  Geno is usually the plumber who comes out, and he does a fantastic job.  These are actually plumbers who advertise 24 hour service and they live up to it.  Most of the times that I've called it's on a weekend and definitely after hours and they always send someone out within 2-3 hours.

These guys are the best! I hesitate to write this because they are gonna get so busy with all the five star reviews, but it's hard to have people you can trust do work for you and this company is amazing. I have used them for a main line sewage break that was so bad we had raw sewage all over the backyard ; they fixed everything and sent out a restoration company so you would have never known. Also for another line break ( I just bought a house built in 1923, it's going to happen). I have also had minor problem that they came and fixed immediately. This Saturday I found my basement flooded by a leak in a pipe at about 3:15 pm. I called them and Nick was here before 4 pm. He couldn't fix it completely but did enough that we have water until Monday when they can come and replace the pipe. I have such peace of mind knowing they can fix it and the price will be fair!

My elderly mother called Sal's plumbing to repair a water leak at her home.

One of Sal's plumbers arrived at the house to assess the situation. The plumber found an issue with our sewer drain pipe, stated that he could not fix the water pipe leak with the outstanding sewer drain issue, and proposed a $1,500 repair.

The plumber created a temporary solution, by cutting off and capping a section of pipe leading to the water leak. While the leak was addressed, the plumber's solution was unsatisfactory as the cut and cap was performed under the house, far away from the actual leak, disabling water to unrelated parts of the home. Authorization to perform the cut at this location was not given.

The price charged for this temporary solution was invoiced for nearly $300, with a proposed follow-up to reverse the temporary solution and implement the $1,500 repair.

I asked to speak with a Sal's plumbing supervisor the following day, which was agreed to, but never received a follow-up.

We asked our usual plumber to assess the situation and were told that Sal's plumber failed to locate the actual water leak, which was coming from outside the house. The temporary solution was unnecessary and ended up creating more work to undo.

We ended up having both the sewer and water pipes repaired at nearly half of the price of the Sal's plumbing quote.

-----

Update:

Sal's Plumbing, if I could give you negative stars, I would -- You've earned them.

When trying to resolve this issue, your plumber agreed to have a manager contact us by phone at a specified time. Your plumber threatened to have the invoice sent to a collections agency.

- A call from your manager was never received.

- Contact after writing this Yelp review was never attempted. Instead you've gone to a collections agency.

I had a stopped sink drain in an upstairs bathroom.  I had previously called a plumber from a *different* company, but they were not able to clear it with their 15' snake and recommended cutting into the wall and pipes!  So I called Sal's instead, and the supervisor recommended that they come out and try their 25' snake.  Sal's were able to come out the next day and quickly clear the drain with the snake.  I appreciated the quick reply from the supervisor, the quick/timely service, and the professional approach from Sal's to easily clear a drain that others couldn't!

Never had to call a plumber in my life. I rented a drain snake in attempt to clear a blockage in my main drain which manifested itself in a couple of slow flushing toilets. I tried multiple times with zero results. In desperation, I called a plumber which wasn't available for two days in the future. So, I called Sal's and they sent Pedro out in hours. He determined not only did I have a blockage, but one of the pipes underneath my house had a hole in it and was leaking water whenever a toilet was flushed. Tremendous. Pedro had to pull up bricks and dig a four foot hole in front of my house to reach the section of piping he needed in order to clear the blockage. He came by on Super Bowl Sunday (the next day) to finish up, replace the broken pipe from underneath my house and set up new pathways in case a blockage ever occurred again. Oh, and he put all the bricks back where they were before he had to pull them up. A massive help. If I ever need to snake my drain again, to hell with a rental. I'm calling Sal's.

Thomas has been a great help when it came to the plumbing issues in our families house.

Having worked with other companies before, scheduling has always been a huge inconvenience and annoyance.

Thomas did his best to accommodate our schedule and everything worked out accordingly.

Notwithstanding, he did a great job communicating the issues in our household with a professional and honest manner - and presented the best options on how to move forward.

We had absolutely no complaints and will continue using Sal's as our go-to plumbing service.

Had my shower faucet fix because half of the cartridge stuck in the pipe. Per the operator, she will send a technician (Eric) to do visual estimate. But when technician arrived, he started taking off the parts and tried to pull cartridge out and plastic broke leave me no choice to have him continue but still unable to pull the cartridge out. Per technician,  he will go back to his office to get a special tool to pull the cartridge. After 30 minutes, came back with the special tool (flat screwdriver,  hammer, and a long screw)... after fixing, charge me $450.00. What??? Never again with this company.

I called yesterday & spoke to someone right away. They offered to send someone same day, if I needed, but I opted for next day. They told me it would be about $78 for the labor charge to replace my kitchen drain system + parts, but they'd have to come over to look at it for an exact estimate. Estimates are free & there's no obligation. I then asked a million (or 3) unrelated plumbing questions (out of curiosity) and I was surprised with how helpful he was & how detailed & patient he was with me. I didn't catch his name, but it was whoever answered the phone. He was great.
Finally, when the plumber was scheduled to come, I called beforehand to make sure we were still on schedule & the same man answered the phone, he remembered my name, & confirmed that someone would arrive at my house shortly.
The plumber, Joe I believe was his name, listened to my explanation of what happened, uncluding that I had bought & re-bought all the pieces to the drain system under the sink, but I was having problems putting it back together without the joints leaking. He looked over the parts I had & said he would try to use what I already had so that I would only have to pay for labor! A plumber trying to save me money??!!!! Unheard of from my past plumbing experiences!!! I was beyond impressed! I bothered him with more unrelated plumbing questions (like I previously had with the man who answered the phone) and Joe was informative and helpful, just like the person who I talked to on the phone. He completed putting together the drain pipes under my kitchen sink ... and just like he promised, only charged me for the labor since he was able to use the parts I had already purchased.
I have found my new plumbing company & I recommend them to anyone and everyone looking for an honest, dependable, and knowledgeable plumbing company! =)

Sal's plumbing made a stressful house repair much easier from the moment we called them. Everyone was nice that we spoke to and worked with us describing the process and figuring out a solution for our situation. They went above and beyond on our repair which was much needed since we had another plumber out previously who couldn't identify or fix the problem. If we need a plumber in the future we will no doubt be using Sal's and recommend them to everyone

Excellent company all around.  I needed a plumber to install a new faucet and change a valve and could not have called a better company than Sal's Plumbing!  The customer service a was top notch!  Their pricing was much lower than I expected and the job was done perfectly!  The plumber was prompt, polite and personable.  He cleaned up after he finished installing my new faucet and changing out a valve.  This is a great company, with exceptional service, and the best pricing.

Over the past year, Sal's plumbing has quickly and efficiently fixed all of the plumbing issues that have arisen at our home.  We moved in August 2016 and had a pipe burst in the wall, a 2nd floor leak seep through to the laundry room and a clogged drain (most recent).  All of these were professionally and promptly handled by Gino from Sal's Plumbing.  It had been months since he fixed the leak in the ceiling and he remembered that we asked him to wear booties - had them in hand when he came to the door.  Fixed our clogged drain (and a separate toilet issue) in less than 20 minutes.  Friendly, professional and fast - recipe for repeat business as long as we live in the area.  

And the best part - the flexible hours.  We were able to schedule a window in the late afternoon since my wife and I both work so we could be here when he came through.  Nothing like the cable company who asks you to be available from 9 am to 4 pm and cancel all your plans when you need something fixed.  Thank you Gino and Sal's for the expert service - highly recommend to all South Bay.

So I have to admit that a first impression is important to me and the first time I called Sal's I got the best one. The younger girl who answered the phone was extremely professional and caring at the same time, she made it feel like I was calling a family member. She listened and cared about the issues I had with the house. We made the appointment and yet again I was mind blown on how lucky this company is to have the best employees working for them. I had the privilege to have Thomas look at my aunts house and fix a pipe under the house. He explained everything in detail to what needed to be done, he showed me photos and made sure I didn't have any questions. He really went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the work. He educated me in a field where we all know they RIP people off. With Thomas he was professional with the price too. Also the materials they use are name brand, in other words built to last. I will definitely be using Sal's as my go to plumbers. I also already shared them on my social media because trustworthiness is hard to find. I TRUST Sal's and Thomas.

This is my second review of Sal's Plumbing and I just want to state that there a lot of plumbing companies out there and my experience with Nick today was confirmed. Sals provides affordable, professional, reliable service for big and little jobs. Nick was very professional and friendly and got the job done quickly. Nick did a thorough job and made sure that drain had cleared. Thank you Nick! I'll be calling Sals for my plumbing needs.

We called Sal's plumbing because we had a very old sink in our garage and wanted to replace it with a large utility sink. We also needed the sink moved to a different location in the garage that required reworking the plumbing in the walls. After several quotes, David from Sal's was not only the most affordable but was the most confident he could do the job with minimal destruction to the walls and outside concrete. When he came to do the job, he was very communicative about what he planned on doing and the progress he was making. When he finished, our new sink worked perfectly and he hauled away the old sink too.

About 2 months later we started having problems with our sink. Our washer was backing up into the utility sink. We called Sal's again, and even though the issue was outside of their one month window, they agreed to come out and look at it free of charge. The issue turned out to be a clog in our existing plumbing that they had not installed. Even so, they fixed it and were super friendly.

I would definitely use Sal's again. They stood behind their work and did a great job.

Just had my shower/tub fixed by Sal's Plumbing.

I had no clue what the issue was, but Joe was able to diagnose the problem based on my description and provided an upfront estimate for the work.

The service person he sent out was professional and friendly. He knew exactly what he was doing and replaced a stubborn shower/tub cartridge in no time.

I'm new to Torrance, so I have no idea who to trust with repairs and service around the area. Fortunately, I found some reviews on Google that recommended Sal's.

Thanks again. I now have a go-to plumber who I know is fair and professional.

Nick from Sal's plumbing is the only plumber we'll use. He's honest, gives you choices, he doesn't do the hard close that our old service did, every time they came out.
The roots of our neighbors tree wrapped around our sewage pipe and broke it, causing our downstairs toilet to    Repeatedly have issues. They fixed the problem quickly, had guys here all day and did an A+ job.

We've used Sal's Plumbing multiple times and have always been very happy. We will never call a national plumbing chain again. So happy with Sal's!!

Sal's Plumbing comes through for us yet again!!  We use Sal's for our clients' usual plumbing issues, but this time, it was a bit of a different scenario.

One of my clients is purchasing a multi-family complex, and our Home Inspector had his plumber lined up to do a sewer line inspection at the same time as the general building inspection.  When my Home Inspector's plumber didn't show up, I called Sal's that same day and they fit me into their super busy schedule with very little notice just a few days before Christmas.

The plumber that came out was very knowledgeable, friendly, polite, punctual and thorough.  He talked us through the sewer line video, showed us the potential areas for cracking, explained the difference between the city sewer line and the property sewer line, and took the time to locate exactly where the problem spots were so that my client has a future record in case there are issues.  Also, he seemed proud that he is part of the Sal's team--always a bonus.

I cannot recommend Sal's Plumbing highly enough.  They are run by an efficient and effective management team that knows how to communicate with customers and train their technicians.  Keep up the good work, and thank you!!

I called Sal's number in the evening after finding them here on Yelp. While I was leaving a message on the business line, the owner, Joe, called me to schedule a plumber for the next day (prompt!).
The plumber who came, a different Joe, was well within the scheduled arrival time and solved my problem quickly. He was super nice and didn't leave a mess.
I have been on the market for a new plumber, and I think Sal's is it. I'm happy to give them five stars, and won't hesitate to call on them again.

Sal's Plumbing had received excellent reviews on yelp.
Well, we discovered that truth will tell...Sal's is a very reliable, honest company.
We needed to have our main line and kitchen drains cleaned.
When we phoned for an appointment, Joe quickly set it up.
Marvin arrived . He was prompt, gave us estimates on the 3 jobs, was professional and hard-working. He never wasted time, used 2 different pieces of equipment to get the job done, and he left our property spotless. We would certainly call Sal's
when we have a plumbing need.

BEWARE! UNPROFESSIONAL, THIEF CHILDREN!
Needed a pipe fixed. They showed up and fixed it leaving a huge hole in the wall saying we don't do drywall only AFTER the hole is there. Would have been nice to know over the phone. Then the dude tries to snake his own company for price, then overcharges me,...with the stipulation that they'll take hundreds off for a FORCED yelp review. Not paying for a half finished job. Ask the tech to leave and he takes it upon himself to break the law, shut off all the water to both my unit and the neighbors. Upon calling I'm told that they know the tech shut it off, told him to, and try to ransom the water with their over charge, by their rude little secretary supervisor. Now the city, police, and attorneys are involved as I have video of the tech doing it. Steer clear of these crooks.

The sink in our half bath restroom was leaking.  Got a hold of this company on a Saturday afternoon. Confirmed $98 call out weekend service.  Two stars for a guy to show up with the two hour time frame good job.  Service was a joke.  Didn't make any effort to remove the stand that was joined by glue to get a better diagnosis of the leak.  Made a guess that the sink internally was leaking.  I said ok thanks.  Didn't want him to do anything else because didn't feel confident he knew what he was doing.  I asked if he could re-caulk my kitchen sink.  $150 he asked for.  Didn't seem confident when he gave me the estimate.  After giving him the check for $98 bucks he didn't hesitate to get out of the area.

Won't be using this service again nor would I recommend this company.

Had a clogged sewer line somewhere out in the front yard. Sal's showed up in a few hours on a weekend and took care of it straight away. Then the tech threw a camera down the pipe and took time to show me some of the roots that were causing the problem in my old clay pipes and even used a locator to show me exactly where it was under the yard. Great service.

We called Sal's on Saturday night for an urgent plumbing issue - sewage was coming up out of our shower. Gross! They sent Thomas out first thing Sunday morning and he was able to unclog the pipe quickly and professionally. Unfortunately the blockage returned a few days later but Thomas returned to our house within 2 hours of my call with more equipment to thoroughly evaluate what was going on and clear the clog again - free of charge. He even called his supervisor (Martin I believe?) to confirm his diagnosis and help explain the situation to me, which is going to require considerable work to repair. I am so impressed by their professionalism, thoroughness, and the fact that they stand by their work. Not to mention, both were extremely nice guys! Hoping we've cleared things up for the time being, but when we inevitably need a plumber again, we'll be calling Sal's.

They were able to respond to our clogged drain issue within two hours and cleared the line and replaced needed parts for a good price.

Had broke the water valve leading to the toilet fixing things.  After turning off the water at the main my wife smartly called Sal's. Dave came to replace the value, correct the leak in the toilet on a Sunday within a few hours.  He did a great job and we asked him replace our kitchen faucet. Dave did great work, very professional. This is our second go with Sal's and have been satisfied with their work product.

What can i say, Sal's plumbing is as good as it gets ! Professional, honest and trustworthy!

I'd recommend it to everyone ! My kitchen faucet was leaking, I hopped on yelp and saw their perfect review and called. Joe ( the owner's son) answered my call and sent Joe ( the plumber) out to see the problem in less than an hour. Joe, the plumber, fixed the problem within 5 mins and told me that my faucet needs to be changed in order to permanently fix the problem, he didn't push for products or demands to change out the faucet.

I decided to change out the faucet, after I saw the corrosion on the line. We set up another appointment and Joe, the plumber, came out to change the faucet. I expressed my fear of kitchen faucet leak from my two prior experiences with faucet leaks, and Joe addressed both of them and made sure I have peace of mind, and told me to call if there are any issues at all.

When I walked him out the door, I know I will be calling them for any plumbing needs in the future. Sal's plumbing really do put customer satisfaction first! A++!

Have a clogged drain under kitchen sink, removed p-trap and still can't find the clog. Probably a clog somewhere deeper in the pipe.

Come to yelp looking for a plumber that is open and can snake this pipe out for me. Find Sal and his 5 star reputation and call in.

A female operator answers the phone, I ask if a estimate can be given over the phone if the problem is described, she says a plumber is in the vicinity and can help better diagnose the problem over the phone. Speak to the plumber, name not given, and describe the problem. Let him know that I removed the p-trap and was still having an issue with clog and believe the clog to be deeper down the drain. He lets me know the rough estimate to come out. I ask if they are available to come out that night (6 PM) and hear a click.

They hung up.

Try to call back a few minutes later thinking it may be a reception problem. Goes to voice mail. I assume they don't want to deal with me, which is understandable if they don't want to give an estimate prior to doing work.

To have a 5 star reputation and to behave this way is not what I expected when I called in.

Extremely unhappy with the company. Paid over $600 for hydro jetting 3 months ago and this is how the drains looked this past weekend. Poor job. At the time of service, they said the service included a free hydro jet within a year. I called them to come out to do one again. They said only if drain was not working. Full of BS. Beware! Would never recommend them.

Response to the owner: Pictures don't lie.
I never screamed or yelled. The owner became defensive when I said his job was poorly done. Glad I called another plumber who showed me how my hydro jetted pipes looked like. Oh, and I hung up when the owner started raising his tone of voice. I realized conversation was going no where. Very unprofessional. Quite sad.

Thomas from Sal's Plumbing is incredible! We had a wallet wedged deep in our toilet! He used a camera, a snake and a lot of elbow grease and never gave up. He was able to get it out even though the camera showed it to be super stuck! This all happened on July 4th weekend, at night, after hours. Thomas arrived promptly and was a true professional. Courteous, polite, cheerful, respectful, knowledgeable and absolutely wonderful in every way. He cleaned up the area spotlessly and wore booties to protect our house and a mask the entire time. Thomas is our plumbing superhero!

Very unprofessional.

Had to have my house re-piped and had a slew of things not go right. Weird things, like having a supposed supervisor show up, sit in front of my house, then leave for no apparent reason. Uh, okay, now what? Not only did the SUPERVISOR blow me off, but no one ever called to say that they suddenly needed to reschedule. It took ME calling THEM to see what is going on.

Then, a different supervisor shows up on a different day to do the work (apparently everyone who works there is a supervisor).  He did not finish the job in one day, as had been promised, so I had to take an extra day to stay on premises and be there for the next day's work.  

The previous day, I pointed out that the hole that the supervisor cut in the housing for my hot water tank had messy, jagged edges, and the supervisor told me that he would clean it up the next day. Nope.

The  gas company comes out to evaluate the safety of the piping before turning the gas back on. He points out that the jagged cut in the hot water tank housing needs to be repaired, plus now there is suddenly something wrong with the bypass valve on my wall heater, when it had been fine before.  

I call to get these repairs done, and am promised that they will come out between 11 - 1 two days hence. I call AFTER 1PM to see what is going on, and the supervisor' sounds surprised, then I am told that they can arrive at 2PM.  I inquire why no one called me to tell me that  they would be running late, since I have a tenant who works nights and waiting around all day for service is disrupting their sleep. The supervisor blames the front office, and the front office blames the supervisor.  

It's just one thing after another with this unprofessional company. When I complained, they told me with attitude that I could take my business elsewhere. I told them that if they would be willing to refund the over $4,000 I paid them, I would be happy to.

Since absolutely no one here cares about the customer, I asked to speak with the owner. The front office refused to let me speak with him/her, saying that s/he was not in the office (does he or she not own a phone?). They supposedly had no idea when the owner would be available. Perhaps the owner is on the lam. After prodding, they eventually agreed to have this unavailable  owner call me back tomorrow.

So...terrible customer service, they do not show up when they say they will, do not call to let you know they're running late, when the DO show up, they just drive away again without even ringing the bell, they shift blame to each other and do sloppy and incomplete work, they damaged my wall heater, were rude on the phone, and they have an owner who is unavailable.  At this rate, I wouldn't trust them to snake a hairball out of my drain.

P.S. BTW, The supervisor who did the re-piping cut holes in my wall, but was not wiling to repair the holes. He told me he could do it for me on the side for $360.  When I said that I thought the price was steep, he dropped the price to $240. I told him I'd have my handyman do it, and the price dropped again to $80.  So apparently, you could do the job for $80, but you preferred to first try gouging me by quoting a price 450% higher than what you ultimately offered. Such a gentleman!

Meh. I used my handyman instead. And got a reasonable quote the first go-around.

We had a leak in the ceiling in the garage, and we called Sal's to take a look. It was nice that someone came 10-15 minutes after we called. The guy came with a ladder that was not tall enough for him to reach the ceiling and we had to take out a ladder from our storage for him to use. The guy suggested opening the ceiling to do the inspection. After he used hammer to knock a hole in our ceiling, he said he doesn't know what the problem was and told us to hire a leak detector to find the problem. He charged us $98 to make a hole on our ceiling and told us to find another company to fix it. I feel that I would be more appropriated if he could have told us to hire a leak detector in the beginning if he doesnt know how to, instead of hammering a hole in our ceiling first and charged us $98 for nothing.

A hissing noise coming from the shower faucet for quite sometime was bothering me. This noise came, when the hot water is tuned to medium heat. I wanted to take care of it and I called  (310) 692-4183 late yesterday (Saturday) and spoke to owner, I guess. He immediately diagnosed the problem as faucet problem, when I had a doubt if it could be unstrapped pipes. His advise was very helpful. I changed the faucet and the hissing noise stopped.

I called in Sunday, thanked them and offered them to pay for advise. His wife declined. I thought, the best way to thank him was to write to review.

BTW, few months ago, there was a clog in my kitchen sink, It was Sal's that helped me then. Hence I turned to him. His job then was to the point, quick and great. I didnot write a review then. Thought, I should thank him through this review

Thank you

Had sal's out today and l was very disappointed. Long story short, the guys who came out told me we need a whole new over flow system which was gonna cost me $750 dollars. I was shocked and told them to write me an estimate so i could go over it with my husband later. One of the men then said Do You have a 2nd shower? knowing very well that we only have one bathroom and that we need our shower to work... Basically insinuating that I was over a barrell and needed them to get my shower working.

I paid them $100 just for coming out (! Wtf!),
they left, I called my dad  to come take a look and we fixed my shower in 2 hrs. No new system needed. We just put the overflow sytem back together and the shower is totally fine and working now. Besides being out $100 for nothing, I feel like they were trying to take advantage of my lack of plumbing knowledge. Not happy.

Sal's Plumbing is the best! Nick, the job supervisor, was great. He was very informative on every phase of the project and showed me pictures and video of the areas that needed to be addressed as well as explaining what was needed to correct them. During the process he also provided a couple options and alternatives on ways to go for some of the work I needed to have done. Additionally, I might add that their entire crew was very hard working and friendly.

The icing on the cake was that the final cost of the job was fantastic. Because Sal's had done work for me in the past I was kind of anticipating going with them right from the start. But then I also thought it would be prudent to get a couple other bids, so I did a yelp search for the highest rated plumbers in my area. The other companies were very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly but in the end Sal's had all of that as well and was far and away the best price!

Bottom line, Sal's Plumbing is clearly my go to company for any plumbing needs I may have in the future.

I needed someone here fast to take care of a main backup and they came within a few hours.  They were very professional and very thorough with their work and got the job done to my complete satisfaction.  I would highly recommend them to anyone needing any type of plumbing service.  I will definitely keep them on file for future work, or will happily refer them to anyone else needing great service.

Thanks guys for your honesty and your great work ethic!

Normally, I wouldn't just write a review based on a quote/estimate experience, but I have had THREE bad encounters with this company just on our estimates for different jobs.  I figured I would save someone the trouble of even calling them. The first time I called was for while doing my due diligence of searching the best price on placing a gas line near our new wall and stove. I called 3 people, and Sal's was BY FAR the most expensive estimate...3 times more than the guy I wound up going with, who did a great job, and went above and beyond to do the work.  No harm/no foul for just the estimate, but then the most recent experience is what prompted me to write this review.

We were getting an estimate on a job of moving our kitchen island up (only about 8 inches from its current position).  There is already existing plumbing, and our cabinet designer thought it would be workable.  Other experts were telling me over the phone this was doable as well.  Sal's just happened to be on my list to call for an expert plumber's opinion to see it in person.  My co-owner/partner went out to the house to meet the employee.  He showed him exactly what we wanted to do.  The employee immediately said it was a huge job that would require going under the crawl space, and would cost $2100!! When my partner asked why we couldn't just use different configurations of the plumbing above ground, the employee was extremely dismissive and rude, just tried to sell the job.  Meanwhile,  before I was able to talk to my partner about what Sal's said, I called, and was surprised to hear the estimate number. I spoke to some guy who wasn't even there at the job, and was just reading the estimate number.  I said, That's a high estimate, when we probably won't even need to go under the house.  Do you know if this is for above the ground work? Immediately, the guy on the phone started yelling, and talking down to me, even though I just asked a question, and he wasn't even there.  He said, WE DON'T JUST PUT A BAND-AID ON THINGS!!! THINGS REQUIRE MAJOR WORK, AND YOU HAVE TO FACE IT WHEN YOU HAVE A BIG JOB....   I just hung up on the guy, as he clearly just had no desire to help me, and seemed to just want to condescend to my question, and thought he knew more than I did, even though he had never even seen the property, or knew anything about the job.  He was looking at a number on a piece of paper, and that's it.  He just wanted to spew out some attitude, and try to take my money.  Cut to....we found a great plumber, who did come out to the property and  agreed with all our previous assessments that we could do the job without touching the crawl space. Job cost: $300. Hey Sal's Plumbing....It;s called a 45 pipe! You see, you can angle pipes in the direction of where you want them to go.... Take your ego and go con someone else. Take the energy that you use to argue with potential customers, and take another class. Yuck! You suck.

I recently experienced a major leak in our home and Sal's Plumbing resolve it. Pedro came at the appointed time and thoroughly explained what options we had. A fair and reasonable price was agreed upon and an intricate and challenging re-pipe with pex was completed by Pedro and his associates! I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing because of their professionalism starting with Norma setting up the appointment time to their technicians completing the job.

Best plumbing service I've had in a long time. These guys are nice, fast, and are real with what they can and cannot do for you. I don't care if I may or may not have paid more than I should have, they are worth it. I knew I was getting good service when they put on shoe guards so they don't walk in your house with dirty shoes.

We noticed pipes banging after another plumbing company came for a completely different reason and decided not to have the same company come back. So, we called Sal's and explained the issue and were happy to meet Marvin who not only helped secure loose pipes in our crawlspace but fixed another minor issue at no charge as it only took a literal minute. Marvin was very friendly, helpful and thorough. He made an extra effort while securing loose pipes to take pictures and make us aware of the overall condition of both our water lines as well as our sewage pipes so we can plan for future repairs and avoid a potential disaster. Thank you Marvin for your wonderful service and professionalism!

The drain in my master bathroom was very slow, so I tried to look for a plumber on Yelp. Yelp automatically offered some recommendations of a list of local plumbers. Most of these plumbers asked for the problem and gave a quote. Jetline plumbing gave a quote of $45-65 vs others about $90-95 for clearing one drain, so naturally I contacted them. Then the next day David from Jetline plumbing showed up, tried to clear the drain for a few minutes, then told me he could not passed the blockage area. He didn't charge for the work but gave a quote for $4,700 to replace the pipe underground in concrete. He said then I have to hire someone to redo the bathroom which may cost another 4-5K. He gave me a business card but the name on the card was a completely different plumber company, not Jetline plumbing, ??
Not satisfied with the unexpected estimate I looked again in Yelp for higher rating plumber and found Sal's pluming. Even in late evening, a lady answered the call right away and scheduled for the next day. Mike from Sal's showed up next day, tried and told me the same thing that he could not pass the snake for more than 1 and 1/2 foot. He said he needed to cut a section below the blockage and replace it. He said the blockage was about a little more than a foot above the ground. He would brake a small area of drywall to access. The cost was $570. 2 days later ( it was Friday when he came the first time) he came and did just that, exactly what he said.
He house is old, built in 1957. No doubt it needs works here and there but to give a quote close 5K to fix a blockage when he knows it is short enough and above the ground, and it does not need to dig into concrete is not an honest recommendation.
I'm happy that Mike from Sal's plumbing took care the issue promptly, with excellent result without costing thousands of dollars as suggested by another plumber.
I'd call Sal's plumping again if I have any plumbing issues.

Best customer service, from the woman that answered the phone to the plumber that did the work. It was only a small job on my friend's place that I was housesitting, but they got there so quickly and were so neat and professional. I wish they were closer to where I live, so I could use them as my local plumber.

Same day service. Arrived within a timely manner. Fixed the issues and mentioned that he is here to fix the problem instead of patching things up. Thoroughly explained that in the near future we do need invest in putting a 4 inch accessible release clearing pipe. I was not sure what this was but he showed us several pictures so that we could get an idea. I valued his opinion and was not at all pushy in having to this right away but more like giving us the heads up so that we can plan for it.

Liked the help rebuilding area under kitchen sink for $225. Sorry to say not many plumbing groups are so professional about booking an appointment, timely, well provisioned, and reasonably priced. Thankfully, the service provider had all he needed (since the nearest Home Depot is over 10 miles away).  He showed up on time and promptly completed his tasks as requested.

Luis and Wilson did a great job taking care of me during a huge emergency with a water leak. It took them two hours from the point of call to having everything completely fixed. They were polite and took the time to explain everything I needed to understand. They were professional and knowledgeable about the ends and outs of plumbing. Best service and I would totally recommend them in the future.

Sal's Plumbing did a great job. They sent a plumber out on short notice to take care of my plugged mainline.  Thomas showed up on time explained what he planned to do and got right on it.  He had great ideas on how to check what was going on and he went above and beyond to make sure the job was done right.  He even checked my entire drain system as a bonus.  I will definitely call Sal's the next I have a plumbing issue.  Consider me a very satisfied customer with the service Sal's provided.

As good as it gets for sure!  Sal's plumping was friendly, professional and attentive from the receptionist up through the owner Joe.  I had an emergency repair that needed attention right away.  The receptionist dispatched someone immediately even though I am farther away than their normal customers.  The plumber gave me several options for the repair with varying quotes. I didn't feel pressure to go with the most expensive. The repair was completed immediately and thoroughly.  The best part is that the area was cleaned up afterwards! How many times have you had to clean up after a repairman?!

I reviewed some of the other comments about Sal's.  Some of the unhappy customers didn't like the quotes for service. (Does that even make them a customer?) Not sure what happened there, but I can see the owner reached out to each of those customers to make it right.  I doubt very much that you'd get that type of personalized attention from Roto-Rooter.

I can enthusiastically recommend Sal's.  They are family-owned and operated and do a great job. Isn't it about time we start supporting these types of small businesses rather than the conglomerates that our current administration is protecting?  I say yes.

I highly recommend Sals plumbing. I called sals, they sent out one of their guys (I did not catch his name) for a FREE consultation. He was very nice & honest. He looked at my problem told me what was wrong, where to buy the part I needed, and recommended I hire a handy man so I could save myself some money.  I could not speak more highly of my experience. Oh yeah and to top it off my dog got out because I left the door open. He chased my dog down for me and caught him. Talk about going the extra mile. I will always call sals when I have a plumbing issue! :) thanks Sals!

Excellent service from Marvin and Sal's plumbing. That's the second time we have used them and they are really really awesome! You saved me a huge water bill and saved us a huge inconvenience as we did not need to shut our not water off due to the large leak.

Love love love!!! Can't say enough good things about Sal's Plumbing. Service was excellent from the start.  Fidel, who came out to fix our faucet, was very courteous and helpful, and pointed out sink problems caused by the previous kitchen contractor who destroyed our sink.  Despite the problematic sink, he was able to install our kitchen faucet. Can't thank him enough. Thank you Fidel and Sal's plumbing!!! Look forward to working with you again in the future.

Honest guys! David came by to snake the line to the street but pointed out that because the line had recently been replaced by another company, that company should warrant the work and so he suggested we call them. He saved us $95 bucks and he'll get our business the next time we have an issue. I've worked with Sal's before - they installed the water main. They gave me a good price and didn't try to work up the estimate (versus the competition that tried to sell me work I didn't need).

Years ago, I tried using Sal's, and the guy was wonderful - timely, friendly, very hard working and very well priced.  However, I've gotten quotes from them twice in the past year, and they were surprisingly overpriced and not a bit sympathetic about it.  They had a real take it or leave it attitude about their price, so I left it and found much friendlier and more reasonably priced plumbers on yelp.  So glad I did - I recommend you give others a shot!

Not sure how this company is getting 5 stars at Yelp.

We are a commercial building and one of our exterior pipe was leaking. Sal plumbing said that it is a very old parts and it needed replacing.  Replacement of portion of pipe will cost $2900 to replace it. Or, they can replace the whole section for $3900.
Because it was not an emergency, we had asked them to work on Saturday or Sunday. Sunday morning, they called and have an excuse that wrong parts arrived and can be done the following week. They even called late than the appointment time.
They were not trustworthy or professional to verify the parts. Parts did not arrive on Sunday and they did not speak with supplier Sunday morning.
Called another plumber to get a quote...
They repaired it for $100. They said that pipe was not the issue and did not need replacement for many decades.
Sal pluming is unprofessional and crooks. Please verify their work and at least get couple estimate from different places.

I am giving 2 stars b/c Thomas came to fix two of my toilets last year and I had a pleasant experience with him.

However, I am writing this b/c my third toilet had the same issue (due to age) and I assumed the quote/price would be the same.  Unfortunately, a different plumber from Sal's came to my home last week and I was quoted much HIGHER for the labor alone for ONE toilet when Thomas had fixed two toilets (lever and flush valve).  I appreciate Sal's swift response time and availability, but I wish they would set their prices clearly instead of basing it off of what each plumber feels...

I found another awesome local plumber who did the work in half the price!

Terrible Experience and would never call again. Giving 2 stars rather than 1 since they did respond fast to calls and later issue when there was still a leak coming from our sink that they did not fix the 1st time. Hopefully I don't jinx myself, but the other item they replaced has had no issues thus far. Also, received a call back from owner but his attitude sucked so bad, I didn't bother calling them again even with offered discount.

I won't go into all the details, but especially as a first time home buyer you rely on service providers to help you determine solutions, the right parts and places to source as needed.  

A perfect ex. is I had sink with 4 holes and trying to find a similar set up was not easy and not a gazillion dollars (who knew faucets were so $$).  Their recommended vendor was expensive and I felt gave me a fishy story, and even if I had moved forward it would have taken at least 2 weeks to get the parts.

The other plumber we called gave us a simple suggestion to get a more modern soltuion by adding a face plate to cover up the remaining holes, have the facet/ hot/cold/ sprayer all in one piece, use one hole for soap dispenser and worked perfect and much easier to find that kind of set up!
Also, they were going to charge me $300 for installation and the other company was $119!

See my other short review for a plumber if you are local to San Pedro or South Bay and you will be much happier in the end.

During a bathroom remodel, drywallers nailed into a supplied pipe in the wall, causing a leak. After reading the positive reviews on yelp, called Sal's plumbing to come out. The plumber said it would cost $250 to repair. I thought that was very expensive but also thought maybe there was more to it than I was thinking. Plumber cut out a few inches of pipe that was damaged and soldered in a new piece. Approximately 20 minutes in and out- for $250, that's gouging pure and simple. Based upon that, I wouldn't recommend this company for any work, big or small.

I called Sal's plumbing two weeks ago, because I keep hearing a popping sound in the electric heater,  when I turn the hot water on. Within a day they sent someone over. David was his name and he was extremely professional. He got to the matter immediately. He turned on the hot water and waited a few minutes before he heard the popping. He explained to me when the hot water is off, you will still hear a popping sound as the pipes cool down. David mentioned that the top of the heater is all rusted and I definitely need a new heater. I have been hear five years and the heater has never been serviced, which I feel it is the same for the other heaters in the units. A new management company took over the units in February. Joe sent a quote to the management company and hopefully they will accept the quote and replace the water heater soon. I am quite concerned that it will explode. I cant say enough about Sal's plumbing. I wrote a review on Yelp in 2014. They care about their customers and that is what I like.

We called Sal's on a Thursday morning for a clogged kitchen sink drain and they were able to give us a 2 hour window within just a couple hours of calling.   They arrived promptly at the beginning of the 2 hour window we were given and they were able to finally clear the clogged drain after several snaking attempts.    The tech did a great job explaining the work and cleaning up after the job.   He also recommended a future hydro flush of our pipes if problem continues to recur.   This is our 3rd time using Sal's over the last few years and service and quality of work has been consistently professional and reliable!

Called Sal's for slow drains throughout house as usual for my older home. I have always had a snake and go service. When Luis arrived from Sal's he was pleasant and timely. I walked him through the usual yada yada yada. He wanted to find out what was REALLY going on and suggested putting a camera to check the main line. I agreed because it is a frequent problem and no one ever offered this service. He showed me the mess causing the problem lots of build up and city owned sidewalk tree roots! HATED to hear this but had to face reality. Luis came back fixed problem. He is great!

If you have any plumbing issues whatsoever, large or small, have no fear because Sal's Plumbing Inc. in the city of Torrance is just a phone call away.  I have used Sal's services 5 times in the past two years and the consistently excellent service has not once disappointed.  I have also referred multiple friends also to good results.  This is a family business and it shows in the pride they take in their work, they clearly enjoy making the customer happy, also they are not like some other plumbers that try to under-quote prices on the phone and then charge you more once the plumber is there and you are on the spot.  At Sal's Plumbing they are straight shooters and their work speaks for itself.  It is so great to see a local small business like Sal's continuing to grow and receive all these 5 star Yelp reviews.  I assure you it is well-deserved and if you call Sal's in your time of plumbing need, you will see why Sal, Joe, and the rest of the Sal's Plumbing crew are some of the best in the business!!!

The good reviews are absolutely true! They have excellent customer service and stand by their work. I called them for a clogged kitchen sink last week. The 1st plumber struggled but he said he was able to unclog it. Not a week goes by and the sink is backed up again. Just a simple phone call to let them know what happened and they sent a 2nd plumber, Gaspar, as a courtesy. He was able to unclog it for good this time and was very friendly and professional. I really recommend them for plumbing needs and will be using them as my go to plumber from here on out~

I have used these guys 3 times for various jobs. I have called twice afterwards just to tell them I appreciate their work and the guys that work here.  Fidel and Joey are awesome.  It's very hard to find guys you can trust and are a pleasure to work with.

Today I needed a replacement water heater.  Two guys came within 20 minutes!  And for a price that was cheaper than Sears next day installation.

I wish I could go to these guys for all my housework and not just plumbing.

I called Sal's for a gas line pressure test estimate and they came out the same day.
Our technician, Bryan, was professional, very knowledgeable and a nice guy. He went above and beyond and tested the line for us the same day at a reasonable price.
Great customer service!! Highly recommend!

The real Hero today was Thomas from Sal's plumbing. During the COVID-19 pandemic no less. We had a plumbing emergency- the only tub in our house was not draining! They showed up when they said they were friendly, professional, thorough and affordable.

If you are still reading this why haven't you called them yet!? Great company and we will likely get a bid from them for a bigger job we are planing soon. They were great.

Called Sal's at 8:00 last night, and this morning Pedro came over and took care of business pressure testing my gas line and finding two leaks, one at my heater and one at my dryer. Thank God!  Now I can get my gas turned back on.  He cleaned up before he left, and worked diligently while he was here.  I'll call Sal's again.

I contacted Sal's to replace my sewer line. Nick came out the same day to give me a quote for the work and they got started a couple days later. They showed up when they said they would and got the job done efficiently.  They backfilled all the holes and left the job site nice and clean.  You can't even tell they were here.  Nick took care of all my concerns and answered all my questions.  I would recommend these guys to anyone looking to replace their main sewer line.

So it turns out that my toilet needed to be replaced due to a crack in the porcelain that sprung a leak Grrrr. So I went straight to Yelp and found Sal's Plumbing,i called and got a same day appointment which was great.Within the hour I had Joey come out and assess the situation and I was quoted $375 for the new toilet and labor which I thought was reasonable.Joey was really helpful in explaining what he was doing and within 30 mins it was completely done which was pretty fast.Overall this service was the best I've ever had from any plumbing company ever lol.I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing to anyone thats looking for fast reliable service.Also i highly recommend asking for Joey to do the service if available.Thanks Sal's Plumbing!

I called Sal's Plumbing for an emergency sewage back up. The plumber who came out was friendly, fast and knew exactly what to do. He was very clear about what had to be done. I could tell he was honest and sincere about the pricing.

It was a hard job, but after he cleared the line I was able to use everything in the house again. Also, the clean up was top notch. I would definitely recommend Sal's Plumbing for any plumbing repair you may have.

I found Sal's plumbing through yelp.  There was a plumbing issue in my condo and my tenants needed someone to look at it ASAP.  They had someone at the unit that afternoon.  Upon their arrival I was notified that the pipe might be backed up from the garage which would be covered under my HOA, they didnt charge me for that visit and I spoke with my HOA to have the pipe snaked.  The water started to drain but still not to its old self.  i called Sal's plumbing back and within a day the kitchen sink was drained and I had happy tenants.  I appreciated their honesty. I felt comfortable with their explanation of the issue and have already referred them to others and my friends have used them and have been very satisfied.

I knew about Sals plumbing through my agent and my first service was the sewer inspection six months ago. There was no good or bad of the service because it was only inspection, no repairing, etc.

Today I had them to come back and fix the refrigerator water line and other small pipe works. My husband and I are very impressed at how friendly and fast work Pedro is doing. He showed us what needed to be fixed and what we could fix ourself. The price is really reasonable. The work is fast. They even have 90 days warranty even though it just means nothing.

As a new homeowner, it is always hard to find a trustworthy and reliable handyman, plumber, painter, etc. in the area. However, I know for sure we will call Sals again if we need any plumbing services.

Just has the best experience with Sal's as my usual plumber has been a no show. I woke up this morning to no hot water again...I found Sal called this morning and a technician was over within a couple hours. Louis was extremely professional, and helped explain things in way that was understandable. Louis helped fix the issue with our water heater, and provided a quote for a new one. Highly recommend Sal's for any issues you may have!

I have been looking for a good, reliable, and honest plumber--because I've been burned in the past by companies who don't come in the specified time, don't do a complete job, or are looking to do more than is necessary. No need to look further. I called Sal's on a Sunday morning, and Marvin showed up in the time window promised. Marvin was great--friendly, fast, and knowledgeable about the work he does. Most importantly this company is honest and reasonably priced. I paid exactly what was estimated by phone when I called explaining my problem. I hate having to wonder if a company is trying to pull one on you. Prior to Sal's, I was told I'd have to break the concrete floor in my garage to replace bad pipes in order to fix my washer drain backup. Marvin came, diagnosed the problem and worked the snake until the drain was unclogged. He even cleaned up before leaving, wiping up splatter on my washer so not to leave a mess. Wow!  I'm a happy customer and I will definitely call on Sal's for my future plumbing needs. Thank you for being open on a Sunday! And thanks, Marvin for being so helpful and happy to work on a Sunday.

Last week my kitchen sink was backup up I tried to fix the thing myself using the plunger for few days but this didn't work! I came back from work and the smell in kitchen was pretty bad, I had to find a plumber and I called Sal around 6:00 PM, the lady who answered the phone was very nice she told me a guy will be at my house in an hour, she mentioned that there will be $98 fee for after hours and $90 service charge, I agreed.
An hour later Pedro showed up, he tried to fix it with the snake but this didn't work too! He said he needs to do something else like running high pressure water down the drain? He called it something but I can't remember it now LOL, anyway this would have cost me $525 ( which will include the $98 and the other $90 something so in total $525, again i agreed, what do I know about plumbing anyway! Next day he came and worked for an hour and finally he had it work.
I will be checking in back here again in few weeks and few month to update my review if needed but so far I'm happy with the service. Pedro was very nice and professional.

This is my first review on Yelp, so that says a lot. This morning, our tenant told us that their water heater was leaking, so I immediately went on Yelp. I saw the excellent reviews for Sal's Plumbing, so I gave them a call. The guy who answered was Joe, and he was very pleasant. He said that someone will be over within an hour. To my surprise, Dave showed up ON TIME and ready to work. After he saw the water heater, he explained to me that it needed to be replaced. He was very professional, explained things thoroughly and even picked up a couple of things to bring everything up to code. I can't say enough about Dave. I'm definitely going to use them again, NO DOUBT!

I searched the planet, well, the Internet for a reliable, honest, best plumber in the South Bay to install a new kitchen faucet.  Thankfully, Sal's Plumbing came up - they work on Saturdays without premium charge.  I received call before the scheduled time to see if it was OK for plumber to come early - WHOA - plumbers arrive early?? Marvin installed the new Moen faucet in the minimum amount of time, very clean install, left the under counter in perfect condition, packaged up the old one, and was very clean and respectful.  The plumbers world needs more professional plumbers like Marvin!  Thank you for the great Customer Service I received when I set up the appointment.  I'll be back for any further needs and will do some marketing for Sal's Plumbing!

When Thomas came he immediately put booties on and came to assess my sink.  He told me what needed to be fixed and gave me a quote for some future work. He didn't try to up sell me and create work that didn't need to be done. I appreciated his professionalism and honestly. Thank you Sals Plumbing!!!

I called Sal's Plumbing about a backed up toilet in the office building. Although the plumber didn't get here at the agreed upon time, they were very transparent about it and they actually arrived earlier than expected even though the appointment time was pushed back. We ended up not needing much service as the problem went away while we waited, but Thomas was very attentive and checked multiple times to make sure the problem was really gone and was open to returning a few days later to check up on us. Overall, a good experience.

I called Sal's Plumbing when my rental home water heater broke down and started leaking. We had it over 10 years so it was time.  It was late Friday night but they were there bright and early Saturday morning. Luis and his guy were very good plumbers and they replaced the water heater after we agreed on a very fair price.  I am happy with the water heater and the installation and would recommend Sal's Plumbing to anyone for water heater replacement.

So our bathroom shower drains were not draining and we called Sal's since they had awesome reviews here on yelp... sent a yelp message requesting a quote and their response time was quick! Spoke with Wendy who was friendly and very professional. She set me up with an appointment for Thomas to come to our house between 3 to 5pm (I was kind of hoping we would get him because of his great reviews).
Thomas arrived on time and knew exactly what he was talking about! He fixed our problem and also gave us his recommendations  for what we needed to do to help prevent future problems. He even went out of his way to clean  up the tub and shower!! Thank you Thomas

Very satisfied customer and will definitely recommend Sal's services!!

Took a shower.  Hot water wasn't getting as hot as it normally does.  Went to the water heater to look at it.  Sure enough, it was wet everywhere so definitely busted.  Checked yelp for highly rated local plumbers to replace the water heater.  Went with Sal's.  

They were very responsive.  Sergio and Jorge came out the same day to check it out and confirmed that it needed to be replaced.  They asked what I wanted to replace it with and I just told them some brands off the top of my head from a recent google search I did (I had no idea what I was talking about really).  They recommended Bradford White since that was what I was replacing and its pretty high quality.  Okay, sounded good to me.  They said they didn't have that available for the same day install since the warehouse was closed but could pick it up first thing in the morning and install it then.  1 night without hot water was okay with me so I confirmed that plan.  

Next morning comes around and they show up with the water heater ready to install.  They quoted me $3k which seemed a little steep but we really needed to replace immediately.  He said he would give me a good price and said he could get it down to $2800.  At this point I'll take the discount but it just felt kinda 'sales-y'.  They replaced the water heater and I paid them with my CC.  

So my main concern with this whole interaction was really just the price.  I  really suck when being put on the spot for pricing which is why I will never set foot in another car dealership or timeshare showroom again.  My gut was that the price was a little high, but I was willing to pay given the family's need for hot water and potential water damage to the closet.  After some research after the fact, I found the same model water heater for about $1k online.  There were of course some cheaper and some more expensive places but that was the average for this model.  That means I just paid $1800 in labor for a standard gas tank installation!  No matter how I spun it with all the 'calculators' online, that labor rate was on the high end for our area.  To their credit, they did a fantastic job, were very responsive, were courteous and personable, and even educated me on ongoing maintenance, tips, and tricks.  So they were great in pretty much everything except for the fact that, I felt a little ripped off even with his 'good price'.  So just a word of caution, they seem to do a great job, but they are on the high side in terms of price.

I called Sal's plumbing to fix a clog in my bathroom.  Within 4 hours, Thomas came out, booties on, ready to work.  I found this company on yelp.  Thomas was polite and explained everything he was going to do first before he started.  He cleared the drain and recommend a new p-pipe for future ease.  The new p-pipe was easy to put on and take off, which allowed me to fix the drain next time by myself.  Great service with good pricing.

Sal's is kind of a crap shoot as to who will come and how interested they will be in fixing your problem. We used Sal's a few times for simple jobs like replacing a faucet or changing out a flush valve and shut off valve on a toilet. These jobs were OK, but what we were charged depended on who came and if they felt like calling into the office or not for a quote. Sometimes it was a reasonable price and other times we were quoted twice as much. When we objected, they would offer a discount. Standard operating procedure cus the company gets a cut and then the individual plumber gets a cut.

Anyway, a few years ago we had a pinhole leak in a copper line. First, Luis and two trainees came out. While showing his trainees how to use the water meter to check for a leak, Luis first disputed we even had a leak until I showed him the bubbling paint on the wall. He then clumsily and haphazardly opened a hole in the drywall behind our toilet and saw the pinhole leak. They cut out the section with the leak and used a copper fitting to fix the pipe. Charge was $1250! I mean, what the hell did I know. I paid it.

Two days later I noticed that there was still a leak. Another plumber was sent out. I won't name him here. He noticed that not only was this pinhole leak not fixed correctly but that the entire length of pipe should be replaced. He offered to replace it with pex piping. He said if I would agree to tell his office that he simply adjusted the original fix and there was no charge, he would do the job for $200 cash to him personally. When I said I'm a renter and would need a receipt, he backtracked and called his boss for an estimate. Another $750. So $2000 to fix a supply pipe behind the toilet.

Remember, when you call a large plumbing company they have one license they work off of. This means their individual plumbers may not necessarily be licensed but trained in house or apprenticed under an actual plumber. This is why they are often called technicians. So, as I said, it's a crapshoot as to whether you will get a good, honest, qualified plumber when you call Sal's. Disappointing but have learned my lesson.

First time homeowner here, and Sal's is a godsend! There is no question too dumb (believe me, I thought I had many!) and they are patient and FAST! I have been using them the last two years in Torrance and this review is long overdue! They've replaced the garbage disposal in my sink, fixed the install of a dishwasher that Home Depot's installers messed up, and helped with other issues with my older home's plumbing. Always quick to send someone out and always fast with quality service.

Thank you to Wendy at the office for patiently waiting with me on the phone to confirm sending someone out that very same day to my house. They are great every single time I call!

Shout out to plumber Mark Grand, who graciously helped fix a problem with a shower that I probably could've done attempted to fix myself (I can imagine me crying, holding a wrench while sitting in the bathtub while watching YouTube videos). He came out, fixed it, and didn't charge me. All during the same afternoon I called.

Sal's - you have a lifelong Southbay customer here! I highly recommend them to anyone who needs fast, high-quality plumbing service! Also, they are available on weekends! It's an extra cost, but always good to know in case you have a plumbing emergency!

Wow!  What a great experience!  Our house was starting to flood due to a clog.  Called Sal's Plumbing and they came out right away.  The main guy, Luis, came with his crew to determine the issue within couple of hours.  He explained the procedures in finding the clog and how to resolve it.  Very clear and informative.
He was able to located the clog but, unfortunately, it was deep under the ground in the middle of my driveway.  He and his crew took all day digging out the hole through the extremely sunny day.  They located the clog and unclogged it, so that, we can run the water for the night.  They came out next couple of days to finish the job.  Refill the hole and added the Two-Way Cleanout.  The attached photos show what a great job he did....just like new.
I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing and, especially, Luis, who is very friendly and does a very very clean job.  Ask for him when you call!

He walked me through the issues that I was experiencing and explained why he thought the issues continued to come back. This was my first time using the company and they were able to come same day and didn't charge a fee for coming so quickly. The charge was reasonable and the Team was very patient. I will be using them as my preferred plumber moving forward and I attribute this primarily to my experience with Luis. He was great to work with.

Sal's Plumbing is a lifesaver! Not only did they come out on the same day our water went out in our kitchen, but they were only here for about an hour.

And that was even with my curious dog attempting to go over and check on their work constantly.

Now I have the water pressure and hot water that I have so desperately wanted for a long time! I definitely recommend their service to others.

I had a plumbing meltdown.  My toilets started gurgling and bubbling, and soon, water had backed up into my bathtub, and the toilets wouldn't flush at all.  I turned off all of the water to the house, and started calling plumbers.  My usual plumber didn't call back for two days, so I found Sal's Plumbing on Yelp. Victor came within a few hours.  He was on time, honest, fixed the problem, and addressed all of my concerns.  Plumbing is always expensive, but he was fair.  I'll definitely use Sal's Plumbing in the future.

We had an unexpected plumbing issue with the bathroom. We called Sal's Plumbing and Nick came out the next day to give us a quote. As you can imagine we weren't too happy with what was happening to our newly purchased property, but Nick and his team explained the issue and more importantly, showed us clear documentation and evidence as to the problem. The next day Nick got started and finished within 2 days. Once all was said and done, we were thrilled with the result (price). We know who we are calling if we ever have another issue.

Thank goodness for Thomas, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to have our party on Sunday.

We had a kitchen sink that was clogged. We do not have a clean out, but Thomas was able to get it cleared for us. They showed up on time and did a nice job cleaning up too. He also recommended some changes that we should make - installing a clean out and reducing some of the turns we have under our sink. I am sure we will have them come back out to make the changes.

Sal's Plumbing is not only competent but actually cares and is willing to go the extra mile! Its rare to find customer service like this anymore these days.

Over the past couple years Ive had few different plumbing companies come out to my residence to diagnose / fix the spontaneously clogging drains that plagued my home. Each time they would perform the same routine - snake a couple drains to get the pooled water to escape then proceed to tell me that I needed to replace all my plumbing given the nature of my aging home. I understand the need for updating / replacing rotted drains but I just had my house remodeled and a lot of these pipes where already replaced so it bothered me a bit to hear this knowing it was untrue.

I heard some good things about Sal's Plumbing from some friends so I decided to give them a call to see if they could help. They arrived promptly the next morning as promised and as the others had done before them proceeded to snake the drains to clear them. However this time instead of telling me that the house was old and I needed to replace the plumbing in the house bla bla bla - Sal's plumbing noticed that the clog was further than the house plumbing and the clog was actually closer to the connection with the city sewer. They explained that normally the city wouldn't correct this sort of problem and I would be responsible for fixing these sort of blockages which could potentially be really expensive as you sometimes have to dig up the entire sidewalk to get access to the connection plumbing.

Instead of leaving it there Sal's Plumbing decided to try and help me out to save some money. They called in the backups who brought out some sort of fancy snaking tool and spent almost 3-4 hours clearing the connection to the sewer. I cant tell you how much I appreciated them going the extra mile and taking the extra time to actually diagnose and fix the problem. Best part of all is when they invoiced me they only charged me for the standard drain snaking fee. Awesome!

You guys rock and thank you so much!

Man these guys are awesome! I've been having trouble with the main line in my house. After contacting Sal's plumbing they sent a plumber out as quick as they could with regards to my schedule as well. This company is full of honest, hardworking, and genuine employees. I will definitely be calling them back if I have any other problems! I fully recommend Sal's plumbing to anyone who needs plumbing services!

I recently called Sal's plumbing for a clogged drain for my business and I was charged $375 by a gentleman named Sergio.  Which I got it down to $275.  

The job took literally 10 to 15 minutes.  I had a thin small snake which I tried to do the job myself and it got stuck.  We left in there thinking we might damage the pipes and just left it as it is till we get the pro's.  He didn't even give us the estimate, he just did the work.  My usual handyman charges us $90 to $100 dollars for a clogged drain.  But Sergio charged us $375.  I asked, why does it cost so much and he said because there was a stuck snake which all he did was yank it out which we could of just done it ourselves.  

 I called the pro's knowing I might have a cracked line underneath the floor and it might need to get demo'd and that's why I called the pro's over my usual handyman.  And I got a estimate for about 10 feet of demo and pipe line repair for 7 to $8000 dollars..... I was hoping Sal's would had gave us a reasonable estimate but that's just ridiculous.   I have called a different plumber for demo and line repair and it wasn't close to how much this place was trying to charge me.  I just wished I remember what plumbing company they were....

By far the best plumbing company I have ever worked with. They came to my place on a Sunday afternoon, and got the job done super fast. The folks are really friendly and gave me a heads up when the technician was running behind on schedule. It's the little things that account. Such as when Thomas put on covers on his shoes before coming inside the house. Other plumbers I had typically left dirty foot prints everywhere around the house.

Can't recommend them enough. Recently had a boiler fail and was without hot water. A complete nightmare. Had no clue who to call so I contacted Sals after seeing all the great reviews here on yelp. Customer service was incredible and patience with me as I tried to explain my situation. The repair was done quickly and affordable. Never felt at any time they took advantage of me considering my dyer need for a quick fix and install of a boiler. Worth hiring and would hire them again.

We called Sal's this morning and had a plumber by Noon. Thomas, our service provider, was professional and solved our problem quickly and efficiently. He double checked to make certain the clogged drain was clear. I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing.

I called Sal's Plumbing on Saturday based on the Yelp reviews but unfortunately I don't agree. I was quoted $100 to unclog my sink, which is already way more than any of the plumbers in the area who are mostly charging $70-80. However, it was Saturday and they could be there in an hour so I gave them a try. The plumbers got to work snaking my kitchen sink, which took 30 minutes at most. Then after the job is done, the plumber tells me it's going to be $130. Now the work is already done and I felt like I had to pay him that amount. They didn't provide a quote when they got there, but after it was complete. I feel very taken advantage of. I know it's only $30 but it was already more than most of the competition. I felt because I am a single woman that I was taken advantage and I just want the other single moms out there to not get in the same spot. Ask for estimates upon arrival and don't settle for the first plumber you see on Yelp because they paid for that positioning anyways. I won't be using Sal's Plumbing again.

Sunday morning and for whatever reason, we have almost zero water pressure in our kitchen sink.   Better call Sal (ripoff from Breaking Bad's better call Saul).  But unlike the Saul Goodman character, the guys/gals at Sal's Plumbing seem to be decent and upstanding people.   The lady who answered the phone was very pleasant and helpful.  She felt my pain.  She said the guy would be over between 11-1.  He showed up around 11:30 and Fidel (or Vidal?) was his name.  Super nice guy.   Diagnosed the issue within minutes with the result being we needed a new faucet as the other one was stopped up with mineral deposits.   My wife ran over to Home Depot and bought a new faucet and Fidel installed it.  It was quite a pain because the nut was sealed shut so he had to cut through it with a saw.  No problemo for good old Fidel!  We called Sal's a year or two ago and the experience was good as well.  I just felt compelled to put this in writing because I truly appreciate GREAT service provided by GOOD people!   Thanks Sal's and thanks Fidel!!

Joe was always very prompt in answering my text messages, and he sent Marvin to do my hard and dirty job involving digging up a lot of water-soaked dirt to get to a buried main water pipe leak. Came same day I needed him, on time, completed it and charged me a very reasonable price, for which I as a retired person on a fixed income appreciate greatly. Marvin made my day, and will probably make yours, too!

I manage a 4 unit apartment building for my mother-in-law.  A complicating factor is I live 400 miles away so I need competent, reliable and reasonably priced tradespeople to keep the building operating.

I first called Wendy, the receptionist and scheduler (I think she runs the place!)  She offered to call the tenant directly to schedule the work.  The tenant speaks only Spanish; no problem, Wendy is also fluent in Spanish.  She efficiently took care of the scheduling.  Thomas, the plumber on the job, kept me completely informed of the problem and solution to get things flowing again.  Both are super friendly and totally competent at what they do.  They never tried to sell me a service or solution that I didn't need.

Sal's Plumbing is my 'go-to' plumber.

Call Sal's because someone picked up and I needed a toilet shutoff valve replace because it was leaking pretty bad.  It was on Saturday and he could have someone there between 2pm - 5pm.  The plumber came between that time closer to 3pm.  He was polite, respectful and very nice guy.  He quoted me $285 to replace which include parts and labor.  The parts were the angle stop and a new hose to the toilet.  I thought the price was very high for replacing an angle stop (expected it to be $150-$180) but did not want to shop around for another plumber on the weekend.  They seem to be very expensive for a simple 30-45 minute job and will probably not use again.

I called Sals the day before the last big storm. After spending an hour assessing the problem the repair tech said he needed the foreman to confirm his solution and he would come by in an hour. When the foreman arrived they said I needed a new drain pump and quoted me $1800. When I objected to the high cost the foreman attempted to negotiate the price. Needless to say I hired someone else and resolved the issue for $471.

After reading my post Joe (one of the owners) called me. After we discussed the situation Joe committed to following up with his employees to better understand the quote. The following day Joe called me to let me know that he agreed the price quoted was to high and appropriately handled the issue with his employees. In light of Joes response I have changed my rating to 4 stars.

Great plumbing service  !! Thomas &  Jose arrived promptly the the residence and explained the reason for the backed up pipes, due to the branches growing they will snake out the main sewer line. As a courtesy Thomas brought the camera so he can see the technical problem. And was told to keep it maintained. Very nicely explained.
We recommend Sal's plumbing to the community

Something broke but I know nothing about this stuff. I found these guys on yelp and I couldn't be happier. THEIR BID WAS THE LOWEST and they DID A GREAT JOB AND SAVED ME. If you need help with your plumbing or pipes call these guys first. You won't regret it. Thanks Joe!

Joe, the disappointment continues. I'm still waiting on the refund check promised. I also didn't agree that your pricing was fair but I did give credit to your customer service manager for providing some form of remedy. However, I'm still waiting on that remedy which would be a good indicator of any perceived desire to keep your customers happy. I do recognize things happen and get misplaced so I would appreciate you following through on your remedy.

Did a great job - came quickly today for a shower drain clog. Thomas was very polite and respectful - dealt with the issue and cleaned the clog. We use these guys regularly for basic plumbing needs and keep calling them back.

The only thing I would have asked for is if Thomas could have wiped the floor once done (there was a bit of debris on the ground outside the shower). Obviously this is something easy for me to do though, so he got all the hard work done :)

For the full story, see my initial review. This is my response to the owner's comment: Please do the right thing and refund for Mario's lazy and incompetent service, for overcharging, for hiking the prices above the quote, leaving a leaky bath faucet and pushing $1,000 prices without checking his previous work.

Where I'm at now with Sal's Plumbing and Joe the owner is I have asked for a refund for installation of defective parts. Rather than issue a refund, Joe the owner sent messages about conspiracy theories. The owner admits Mario made a mistake and needs to be talked to for poor work, but he will not refund until I delete my review.

To summarize my experience with Sal's Plumbing:

1. Quoted $350 for 1 hr replacement work when it should be at most $200.
2. Installed a used and broken cartridge. See photo.
3. Wrote on the invoice that the defective cartridge was NEW.  See photo.
4. Billed $395 instead of quoted price of $350
5.  Left leak
6. Did not fix leak or even check work for defects or debris on 2nd visit
7. Recommended $$$$ DEMOLITION of shower wall tile.
8. New plumber gets everything done right the first time at a fair price.
9. Sal's Plumbing is holding onto my $395 and now claims I've been hired by a competitor.
10. Don't get ripped off by this company. Joe the owner said it himself, he believes this is the best they can do.

My toilet was backing up into my shower. Thomas came and did a full inspection including going into the crawl space and showing me where the contractor did not do things to code, then went back to the front to the clean out pipe and used the see snake to show me the blockage and the underlying pipe transition issue. The fix itself was pretty quick but the information he provided was incredibly helpful and he was very patient as I wrote everything down and sent me the photos.

It's always a bit nerve wracking to have to call a plumber if you don't have one already. Sal's was very professional. They responded quickly to my call and were at the house within several hours. Sergio is very knowledgeable and friendly. A clogged toilet led to having to replace all the drains... they were 60+ years old! It was a relatively painful process and they were able to use their trenchless procedure to avoid breaking up all the driveway concrete. I would highly recommend their services.

I am so thankful to Anthony who came out and took care of a leak my ceiling. I called the office to schedule service, and within 10 minutes Anthony called me to give me his ETA to my home. He showed up and assessed the leak and was able to identify what the problem was  right away. He explained the issue to me, and let me know what exactly he would be doing. Once the work was completed he  had a video of the repair that he shared with me. I am thrilled with the service he provided. When you call Sal's ask for Anthony he's very knowledgeable and professional.

Subsequent to a visit to my residence by S.C.Gas Company on April 16, I was without gas for Stove, Heater, Dryer and Hot Water. A note left at the door was the only notice advising me of gas leak 'somewhere in the house line'. My neighbors(building contractors) checked the pressure and sure enough it was confirmed. Lines were dug without solutions. On Friday, I called Joe @Sals Plumbing and was given an appointment for Saturday April 18 ...10am-12pm. At 10.12am,  David showed up quoting  a Service Charge of $200.00. My understanding was this will be applied to the total cost of fixing the problems. After spending almost the entire day, he was unable to figure out where the actual leak was however, he tightened a 3/4 union by the gas meter and suggested I call the Gas Company to turn on the gas. Sure enough there was still a leak somewhere. I requested S C Gas to pinpoint where exactly the leak might be which he did near the Hot Water tank. I advised David and he showed up the next day(April 19) with a helper JR. He advised me it's a 'Major Job' and will now cost $2,200.00 in addition to $200.00 I had already paid. After all said and done, additionally David advised me I need new wall plug/connecter and a new hose for my stove for an additional cost of $450.00. I called and spoke to Joe about the dilemma I was in now. He agreed to my offer of $250.00. Final cost was $2,450.00 which considering a 72 year old Senior under current difficult times was overwhelming. Since the old pipes were left in my driveway, I called the office for disposal of these items. They were removed without my knowledge almost a week later and I've been home all the time. A courtesy to inform me whoever was in my yard would have been appreciated.
On a positive note, both David and JR were on time each day and worked diligently on the job. Also, communication with the Office was excellent.

Recently bought a house in Torrance and the inspector gave me a laundry list of plumbing recommendations that needed to be completed. Therefore, my realtor recommended Sal's Plumbing, he uses Sal's for his own properties. The plumber, Jon, that came out was honest of what recommendations were truly necessary. Jon was around are house so much when we moved in, we kinda missed him when the work was completed.

Anyways, we got our laundry room and three bathrooms issues completed. There estimate of the work was right on target, nothing more then what I agreed. Additionally, Sal's Plumbing responds quickly to calls and emails.

He was polite, efficient and tested the toilet to ensure the problem was fixed.

This week I had a clogged toilet so i called Sal to fix the problem. They said someone could be at my home from 11:00-1:00pm. He arrived around 12:15 and got straight to work.  He wore a mask and shoe booties to protect our floors.  He went to the clean out and used the  camera cable to see what was in the pipes and  fortunately it was a soft clog because that cleared the pipes right away. We didn't  have the use of both toilets so I appreciate Thomas coming right out and fixing the problem.  This is not the first time Sal's has help me me out of a situation.  This company is very reliable  with reasonable pricing and they have taken my calls very early in the morning to schedule an appt. for the same day. I would definitely refer them to friends and family.

Thomas and Jose came out in a quick and timely manner, right on time. They were both super kind and patient with all of my questions! We had a clogging issue and they explained to me the problem and snaked the clogged old rusty metal pipe then completed a series of tests to ensure that the main issue was resolved and the pipes were unclogged.

I needed to get both a toilet and shower unclogged. I quickly took to Yelp and found Sal's. The woman I spoke to on the phone was polite and told me I would be able to get help the same day. The plumber who arrived, Jay, was great! He told me that, while the plumbing for the toilet was fine, unfortunately, the toilet itself was an older model and needed replacement. He was able to unclog the shower drain with no problem. He was a great help, efficient, and a nice guy. I will definitely be using Sal's Plumbing again in the future.

Not only would I highly recommend Sals, but ask for Thomas! You won't be disappointed.

Plumber came out...He ran the top snake and was able to clear the drain. He made very little mess and cleaned up the work area when service was done... Yippee Yay!!!  Thomas was very polite and informative about my service and other plumbing recommendations!

I had a plumbing emergency on a Saturday.  Sal's answered my call, and sent out a plumber immediately.  The work was done quickly, and the plumber cleaned up before he left.  Prices were in the ballpark of my regular plumber.  I will call Sal's again!

Thomas came right on time and was very helpful. He is professional and knew exactly what the problem was. Our kitchen sink was clogged and he snaked it a few times and used the blade and cleared it right away. It took less than 30 min and problem solved. We can now go and enjoy our weekend.  Would highly recommend Thomas as a plumber.

Bryan really helped my family out when we needed a quick hand, even on a Sunday.  He was really professional, helpful, and he even cleaned up the mess from the leak.  He was very detailed in his explanations so we weren't left wondering about anything.   We will definitely be calling again when we need any other repairs!

Would recommend. The service was prompt, they had an opening shortly after calling and Thomas arrived soon thereafter to help with our clogged, double vanity sinks. He was up-front about the possible difficulties and solutions so we could be prepared for the next step if the auger wasn't able to navigate through to the clog properly. Luckily for us, he was able to surmise the pipe layout after removing the p-traps and successfully pulled out the clog in no time. He worked quickly and cleanly, wiping up the cabinets before leaving, and gave us a fair price for the work. Will certainly call them again for future jobs

Thomas was awesome!! Phenomenal service! He was very patient and took his time explaining what all needed to be done and why. He even took the time to show me exactly what was going on! Great service! I'm a new homeowner so I definitely appreciated the time he took to explain everything in detail!! Happy that my home has a clean out now! I definitely recommend Sal's and Thomas. The gentlemen that came along with him were also very kind and they handled everything professionally. Quick and professional work! I will definitely call Sals again!

In October, I had a pipe leak in the garage wall.  I called a few companies I found on google for price quote.  Few of them would not come out for free estimate.  One of the company came out for free estimate but the price was quite high.
I decided to look good plumbers on yelp.  I found Sal's Plumbing on yelp.  Based on a large numbers of positive feedback, I decided to call them for free estimate.  
I spoke to Joe on the phone.  I told him about the leak problem I had.  He sounded very knowledgeable and sincere.  I was concern about the cost to fix it.  He said that he wanted my business and would try to give me a good price on it.  
The plumber, I believed his name is Jon or Joe, came out the next day for free estimate.  He quoted me a reasonable price.  He was able to fix the pipe leak on the same day.  He did a very good job.

Thanks Sal's plumbing for good customer service, great job and reasonable price.  I will call your company in the future for all the plumbing issues.

I called them for a job, they told me that they'll use a machine to look for a leak if they can't find the leak and that will cost a total of $275 and they will ask me beforehand to make the charge.  Ok, I had a tenant that lived at the property and I figure no issues, gave them the credit card number to put on file for them, these guys got hundreds of reviews at 4 1/2 stars, right?

Well, news flash, that's not what happened.  The plumber (Marvin) had used the machine, charged me $275, and called me to tell me about it.  I objected, but the charge was already made.  He told me because of his mistake, he'll give me a discount for the job at $2800 a great discount according to him.

One hour later, I receive a quote at $3700, close to $900 more from the quote he gave me over the phone.  The heck?  I notified the office immediately about it, the result?

No refund on $275 and they defended their slimeball plumber, telling me that his quote is usually the cheapest in the industry.

Usually, that kinda BS would fool the average customer, fortunately I have had plenty of experience dealing with other plumbers and this is extremely expensive.  I called their BS but wasted my time and most important these guys stiffed my money.  Especially during shut down and COVID-19, this is is simply unacceptable and if I can give them negative reviews I would.

One of the toilets overflowed and Sal's plumbing to the rescue. Thomas came out promptly on time, was very knowlegable about what was going on, and explained all the steps and why.

I don't want to write a review based on personal thoughts so I will try to rely strictly on facts.

1. I got charged 600 bucks to snake a drain from sales
    I got quotes from 3 other plumbers ranging from 200-350.  (I eventually went with the 350 one who fixed the issue and really did a great job too.)
2.  Sals was going to charge me 250 bucks to use a camera to see the clog (the other plumber I went with did it for free and removed an item from the pipe)

Sals was telling me there is no set price and the plumber will charge whatever they think the job is worth.  Fair enough, but when I call 3 other plumbers and they are all 250 dollars less than what you're charging, are you just ripping people off because they have no idea how much things cost?

the 3rd plumber from sal's came out and quoted me 2100-1900 dollars to remove the clogged item.  Trust me bro, i've been doing this for 15 years, I'll take care of you!  .. this is a person whom i've never met before, so yeah why would i trust you blindly with 2100 bucks?  The plumber who charged me 350 was able to remove the pipe and the clog.  I wasn't about to let sals charge me another 2k just to remove an item that another plumber was able to do for 350.  

Have the receipts to prove how much I was charged from Sals, and how much I was charged from the other plumber PLUS the actual item that was removed.

So disappointing to happen but I thought people might want to hear about it and hopefully learn from it.  I have had identical experiences as the last few people this month.

EDIT:  Updating with an estimate that I got proving the 1900-2100 estimate that Sals' came out to do LAST YEAR... not YEARS ago.  It's insulting that you're confusing me with another customer, and making me realize that the way you worked with me is just another day to you.

Thomas from Sal's Plumbing came within the hour during the evening to fix a clogged pipe, toilet was backing up! He had all of the equipment including a sea-snake (camera), found the root of the problem, roots! His 100 ft. snake cut up the roots growing inside the pipes and cleared the pathway. Price was reasonable especially for coming out on short notice at night, otherwise our toilets would've been inoperable overnight. Thank you!

It's hard to find a good plumber and I'm glad to say I have now found a great one!

This review is long over due! My entire house was a plumbing nightmare, we had pressure issues, constant backups due to 40+ year old plumbing, miss run pipes, mainline breaks and other fun mysteries to solve. We clearly had a ton of work to be done and were in an emergency situation. Sal's was the only company to give us a reasonable quote, it was horrific to see how many plumbers were willing to take advantage of us. Of course there were road bumps, like the copper needing to be replaced, and initial plumbing being so poorly done that issues had to be fixed, but Pedro in his always calm and reassuring demeanor handled every obstacle perfectly and professionally. I've referred them to several friends and everyone has been happy. Thanks again Sal's!

Reached out to get an estimate. Plumber came by on a Monday. To start things off, he had the address wrong by one digit and showed up across the street. Not the biggest deal, but proved to be symptomatic of some other issues further down the line.

I had bought a new house and there were a few things to take care of, one of which was to service some corroded piping under the house. The gentlemen informed me that the estimate was free but to go under the house there would be a $98 charge. This had not been disclosed to me when I called to set up the appointment, so I declined that part of the offer. We had a sewer inspection prior to closing so I emailed him the photos, description, and a video of the pipes. Was informed I would receive an estimate the next day.

I never received the estimate. The only response I received was on that Friday where the plumber responded to the emails I sent him with the word stop, as if it were spam. No call. No email. To compound things, I arranged for estimates from two other companies. Both were willing to check under the house for free. It took about five minutes. Definitely would not have been worth the nearly $100 charge. Imagine if I had paid that and not ever received the estimate on top of that.

Avoid!

**Additional review added on 2/2/18

This is the first time using Sal's Plumbing. My kitchen sink has clogged up and after trying drainer etc..I called Sal's pluming. Like other reviewers say, phone receptionist was prompt. I could arrange with the technician Thomas on the same day, and he came on time and fixed the problem quickly. I appreciated him being polite and describing what he was doing and what was causing the problem. Clogging can be very stressful issue so I appreciate that they could arrange the fix on the the day I called. And thank you very much for Thomas for his professional work.

Additional review from 2/2/18:
I asked Thomas come back for another repair for the reoccurring problem( note: it was nothing to do with his previous repair. It was more related to the construction issue). He was again very generously explained to me what would be the problem, and took care of the problem 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!

I have been meaning to write a review of Sal's over the last couple of years, as they have helped me with a variety of plumbing issues. Today, they cleared drains which were clogged due to someone in the house trying a oatmeal bath to deal with post-sunburn itches. Of course, the oatmeal water congealed into something impossible to clear without snaking the drain.

They gave us the earliest possible appointment, with a narrow 2 hour window, and made it on time.

They promptly cleared the drain and cleaned up thoroughly.  The worker was very thorough, softspoken, and polite, even when our goofy dog barked at him at length.

As always, Sal's was quick, capable, and easy to work with.

Thanks to Nick from Sal's plumbing I now have zero worries of my home plumbing.  We had a recurring case of our shower, toilets, and bath tub backing up that needed to be solved.
I called Sal's plumbing to get a quote on a camera inspection of my main line into the house knowing there was some kind of blockage within my homes piping.  Nick came out promptly and inspected the piping, showing me with the camera and screen and sensor where the blockage is.  
Sure enough there was a section of old narrow pipe meeting up with a metal section that had bad scaling that needed to be removed.  He also showed me there were sections of piping in the front lawn where roots were growing inside as well.  About 2 years back we had an issue with what seemed to be really bad roots causing a backup from in front of the house under the lawn toward the sidewalk and while we did have it snaked there were still some massive roots growing.   Nick showed me all the potential problem areas where webs of roots were growing and it really let me know something had to be done sooner than later.  Our home was originally built in the 50s and we had already lived in it for 4 years with plans to live in for at least another 10 years.
I ended up having Nick proceed with his recommended fixes for the blockage as well as the roots in the piping. His crew was very professional, polite and respectful.  Pricing was also competitive and in line with other plumbers that I had contacted.  They came bright and early in the morning everyday and worked in searing hot temperatures (I gave them as much water and ice as I could).  Yet they were properly prepared and handled it like clockwork. Nick explained in detail exactly what they would do, and would pause to show me at certain intervals the progress and milestones of the work they had set out to do.  Nick also gave me really useful tips and best practices regarding the water heater and water main settings that I hadn't considered before.  All in all I feel that I know my house a lot better than before thanks to these guys, so thank you very much for the hard work!

I was talking to a neighbor and a truck pulled up before 9. It was all done and complete by 9:15 or so. This is what great customer service should be like. Yeah I forgot to mention I was suppose to have another guy come out over the weekend who flaked out twice. Which on Friday I waited for 3 hrs for another company who never showed up.

I had a pin hole leak on my water pipe under my house, so I called Sal's plumbing because I used them in the past and was satisfied with their work. Their office was very friendly, their technician showed up on time and did a good job in fixing the pipe. Here's why gave it 3 stars for this service, the technician charged us $650, I'm not a plumber but a 2' piece of copper pipe, couplers, and solder cost that much??? So we just paid it to get it done so we can have running water. Looking at the invoice it didn't specify what parts was used, so I called someone I know who's a plumber for bout 15+ yrs and I asked for his opinion on being charged $650 for a pin hole leak repair and he said that's way steep!!! That's what I thought but at least we have running water now.

I used Sal's a couple of times in the past. Once for my sink, which broke about a year later as the pipes started leaking again underneath my kitchen sink. Another plumber fixed it and said it had been installed incorrectly which is why the leak sprung. Then another valve for hot/cold water I had installed in my upstairs bathroom broke (I don't remember the exact date of the installation but I think it was in fall of 2021). Both resulted in leaks. I don't think they're a terrible company, the people who came seemed pleasant and were willing to answer my questions, but I've now had multiple things break that they had fixed. They also left a bit of a mess. I've had better luck with other plumbers. 3 out 5 stars.

(Please note I'm not the type to leave a 1 star review unless I've truly been scammed.)

Sewer line backed up.  The company we normally use was not able to get to our house for several days. Researched and saw that Sal's was local, family owned, and the majority of reviews were high.  Called and they committed to and were able to get to our house within 4 hours.  There was some difficulty clearing the line but Thomas and his assistant were determined and after several attempts got it done. He also made recommendations to eliminate the issue moving forward. They were both very courteous, their work was thorough, and will definitely be asking for Thomas on future visits.

Been using Sal's for years now and can't say enough about their exceptional service and trustworthiness.

We've used a couple of different local plumber services in the past but we gave Sal's Plumbing a try today because the last plumber we used tried to upsell my wife on an unnecessary early water heater replacement.  Our experience with Sal's was refreshingly different so they have earned our business and this recommendation on Yelp.

Our plumbing uh oh moment came when there wasn't hot water for my morning shower ... I checked the water heater and discovered that one of the copper pipes from the water heater had developed a pinhole leak.  I called Sal's at around 8am on a Sunday morning because they advertise that they're available 24/7 ... That earned Sal's their first star.

The person who took my order clearly explained their pricing policy to me and was professional and pleasant despite the early hour ... That good customer service earned Sal's their second star.  She explained that the plumbers would be on duty starting at 9:00 am and promised that someone would arrive between 9:30 - 10:30.  Fidel (our plumber) called 10 minutes before arriving and pulled up to our house at the early end of the scheduled time.  Keeping their scheduling commitment earned Sal's their third star.

Fidel sized up the job, explained what he was proposing to do and provided me with a very reasonable estimate.  No additional stars for this because that's what you should be able to expect from a professional.  However, once Fidel got into the job, it turned out to be a bit more complicated than expected and it took him longer than he forecast when he gave me his price quote.  After the job was finished, instead of trying to increase the price to cover the extra time, Fidel stuck by his original price quote.  On top of that, Fidel showed me an issue that he explained did not need to be addressed now but was something to consider for the future.  Fidel's honesty and integrity earns Sal's its fourth star.

The fifth star is for Fidel's customer service.  In addition to the integrity shown above, Fidel was a genuinely nice guy.  He kept the workplace clean, was careful about backing up his work van so that he didn't disturb our bushes, and was upbeat throughout the job.  To the owners of Sal's plumbing:  Fidel earned you our business from now on ... Take good care of him.  He's a great representative for your company!

Very pleased with service and cost of Sal 's Plumbing service starting with the prompt arrival and analysis of our multiple plumbing issues.  Thomas was great, very knowledgeable and helpful.  He explained each step of the process and did  a great job cleaning up afterwards. Drains cleared and main drain line was relined. Thomas  was quick to give us estimates and work specifics so we could make an informed decision.

A few days ago I discovered that our garbage disposal wasn't working.  I reset it, unplugged it, reset again...nothing.  I decided it could wait until things slowed down a bit and I had time to be home waiting for a plumber.  Well, the next day I found that everything under the sink was soaking wet.  We called another company and they were closed for the entire Thanksgiving weekend!  Called Sal's plumbing and made an appointment with a 9:00 - 11:00 window.  Didn't love that but didn't expect anything else (let's face it, we've all had to wait for the cable company to arrive, haven't we?).  

Fidel showed up at around 9:30 AM.  Went directly to the disposal, turned it on, said he knew exactly what it was and...ta-da!  It was fixed.  Then he went to our bathroom where we have been having a strange sound coming out of the faucet.  He went under the sink and turned a valve (which a previous plumber failed to do).  

He was in and out in 10 minutes.  Will definitely be calling them for our plumbing needs in the future.

Geno showed up on time and wore a mask the entire time. He was super professional and nice. He ended up fixing both my toilets which had the same problem for the price of one because it was an easy fix. He also was instructional and honest about what I can do in the future to save some money rather than have him come out again.

I appreciated his honest and hard work and will absolutely call again for any of our plumbing needs moving forward. As first time home owners, geno has solidified Sal's plumbing as my go to company.

Very happy with their service.  We tried to install a bathroom faucet on our own but couldn't get the old one uninstalled as it was old and rusted.  Eric came earlier than scheduled and got it done in 50 mins or so.  He was friendly and professional.  It was also nice that they were able to schedule on the same day.  Thank you!

Whenever I ask friends for a plumber recommendation, I usually hear about Sal's. Having apprenticed with a plumber, I have basic skills, so have not needed service, but when I do, I'm sure to call Sal's.
I have criteria when choosing any trade professionals. Honesty, fair price, a clearly explained bid, and professionalism. From what my neighbors and friends tell me, Sal's fits the bill. I have an idea for upgrading fixtures and pipes in the near future, and plan to consult and get a bid from them.

I'm writing this review after having my second job just completed by Sal's plumbing.  They will be my go to plumbers from now on.  The service is FAST, REASONABLY PRICED and the job is WELL DONE.  In fact, I called this morning to get my kitchen sink unclogged and they were here within an hour and half AND on a Sunday.  You really can't beat that.  Also being a single woman, they don't try to sell you things you don't need or overcharge you for services.  They are really very honest and upfront about what needs to be done.  So please look no further and give these guys a call for all your plumbing needs.  You will be glad you did.

I called Sal's Plumbing to address sewage backups in an out-of-state property of mine.  They arrived to the property on-time (on a Saturday as well) and identified the issue.  My old property had several original pipes that were in very bad condition.  

Realizing that the job was a pricey one (several thousand dollars), Sal's team professionally and politely went through the options I had.  I felt completely at ease with the decision making process due to the thoroughness of the plumbers' explaination of the pros and cons of each option.  In my research of other plumbers, I was pleased to find that the price Sal offered me was a very fair one.

The job was complicated and additional issues came up.  Each time, Sal's team immediately called and presented me with the situation and what my options were.  The team finished in the time estimated (several days) and were professional and polite the entire time.

In a seemingly commoditized industry (plumbing), aside from price, the main differentiator is the quality of service.  It doesn't cost anything to be polite and treat customers with respect (kudos to Christian).  I was extremely satisfied and impressed with my experience with Sal's Plumbing and would not hesitate to utilize their services again.

I called Sal's Plumbing at the end of the work day to see if someone could come down and rooter our bathtub and shower.  Not only did they come fast, they beat me home!!  
Marvin was our plumber and was amazing!  He troubleshooted the issue quickly and cleaned up after himself.  When service people come to fix a problem and leave it a mess this can cause a bigger issue.  Marvin was the complete opposite.  He made sure the area was better than he found it.  What a complete professional!

I can't say enough about our experience today.  I would recommend this company in a heartbeat!  Ask for Marvin!

Wipes Clog Pipes

Our house has sensitive plumbing. No matter how many times Flushable is written on a package of butt wipes, they are not. We're not sure if they were the culprit of our massive overflow situation from 8/25/19, but I'm sure they didn't help. Noticed lots of water on the bathroom floor in the early morning and it started seeping over to the rumpus room carpet. Everyone except me had to leave for the airport. Yup. It was all up to a girl to figure out. My brother said Better call Sal.  (Get it?). We'd used them once before and didn't feel ripped off. Thomas came that time, but when I called, Wendy said it would be either Thomas or Gino, and it was Gino who came up a couple of hours later. He first called to let me know he was on his way. That was nice. Gino did a fabulous job. I mean, it's only been one day, but we're hopeful. Thank you, Gino. You were so kind and thorough and didn't mind me staring while you used that thingy to clear out the drain. It was fascinating. Anyway, I/we really appreciate it, and as I said, I'm hopeful that we will be clog-free for a good while. I think I'm just going to throw away all our wipes because obviously some people can't read the numerous signs in all three bathrooms that state Don't flush the butt wipes. Thanks, Sal. Is there really a Sal in this operation? I would definitely use this company again.

Tried to fix a malfunctioning backyard hose valve myself, on a Saturday no doubt, and totally destroyed the thing! I went to Home Depot to find a replacement and discovered (after 2 trips) that the (1) the valve design changed since 1976 and (2) it needed to be welded to be replaced!  WHAT!! Now my water is off and the wife is staring me down.....on a Saturday!!!

So, I ran to my PC, checked Yelp and for an available plumber, on a weekend and near my house! I found Sal's, who is in Torrance (I'm in the Southbay) and is OPEN on Sat!  I called, explained my problem (I left out my DIY details) and was told someone would be there in a hour.

Marvin arrives, pleasant and knowledgeable. Since he was here, I asked for a slight modification to raise the valve a bit higher off my putting green. He said no problem.

45 mins later, I was up and running!! Nice elbows, clean weld and a new 2017 valve.

I will keep Sal's Plumbing in my cell for future needs. And, I realized that plumbing is not my thing!! (electricity either!!)

We had a sudden pinpoint leak in our copper pipe and needed a plumber stat! Sal's Plumbing sent Technician Joey over within the hour. He immediately got to work and was knowledgeable, fast, efficient, pleasant, and he cleaned up after himself. He did a great job fixing the leak in a hurry at a fair price. As an added bonus, he's a lefty which my hubby appreciated as he is a lefty too. :) We will definitely be calling Sal's again for other plumbing-related tasks and will be requesting Joey for the service call.

Called Sal's plumbing due to water pipe leak causing damage to kitchen ceiling.  They are very prompt in replies. The issue was solved by replacing the portion of the leaking pipe with copper pipe. There was leak from the repair the next day.
Again, there was prompt response and same plumber was sent to fix. Unfortunately, I noticed the leak was coming from soldering repair from the day before. The plumber decided to use PEX pipe to repair, which I did not want, especially since I was told by the plumber he didn't prefer it as it may cause cancer the day before. Moreover, the PEX pipe blew and leaked when the water was turned back on. I asked him to put in copper as he originally did for the first repair. He came back another day (the third visit) to put in copper pipe, but I was charged again for labor which was not clearly stated when he came back the 3rd time to fix. It's kind of hard to dispute a charge when the plumber finished his work.
The job should have been done correctly the first time around and not have been charged additional labor for the pipe that was not repaired correctly. I was told the repair has a 30 day warranty. I was charged total of $430 for a relatively straightforward pinpoint leak in a straight piece of copper pipe. I don't think I'll be using Sal's plumbing again.

I live in El Segundo and already had a bad experience with another plumbing company.   I  called Sal's after reading reviews and always seeing their vans everywhere in this area.   David and Fernando came over, right on time.  They were awesome. Polite, courteous and hardworking.  Both jobs they did were finished the same day, our bill matched the estimate.   1 week later, everything is working perfectly.  Sal's plumbing is now our go to plumbing service. I am sure that David and Fernando are examples of all those who work for Sal's.  The receptionist (sorry I can't recall your name) was so helpful and reassuring too.  Great Team!  Thanks!  Teri and Dan Hettinger

We called Sal's at the last minute when another plumber no-showed.  They came within just a couple of hours.  Thomas knew exactly what to do, he not only ran a long snake through our pipe twice, he even checked under the house to make sure there were no problems with the plumbing beneath.  Top quality service!

The only thing they could get right was answering the phone. They said they would call before they came, they did not. This was a simple repair. Sal's wanted $950. They then dropped the price to $650. I am not sure if the plumber was licensed or competent. The guy that Sal's sent was suggesting a very complicated repair that was unnecessary. I found a different plumber who charged $175. These numbers speak for themselves

Had a stoppage in my main sewer line. Thomas was super helpful and ran an absolute beast of a snake through our sewer. He ran a camera through the main sewer line after the snake and walked me through all aspects of the condition of my sewer. The cost was extremely reasonable compared to some of the other 24/7 options out there that I've dealt with in the past.

A few months ago my kitchen sink was backed up. I messaged Joe, the owner replied and called me. I had one of his guys ready to repair my clogged sink the same day and within a few hours! I was surprised. The guy that came was very informative and helpful. He unclogged it and said that usually other parts get clogged and yep... I am in need of his services soon.

The guy finished the work in under 45 minutes and gave me some advice on maintenance but I cant remember the info he gave me.

The price was average going rate for Los Angeles which i put in about $90-120

Just moved into a new home and my gas heated clothes dryer wasn't working.  Sal's Plumbing showed up at the promised time and within a couple of minutes diagnosed the problem.  The gas line feeding the dryer was corroded and leaking and could not be salvaged.
Following work day Louis ran a new line, by passing the old one, and hooked it up to the dryer. The new gas line was cleanly installed and anchored to the wall. Louis even install the lint duct from the dryer to the vent!
Thank you Louis - a happy customer about to do a load of laundry!

We used Sals plumbing recently at our house for a large repipe job. Nick the plumber who came out is the best! We had used him previously for another part of the house and had complete confidence he would give us a fair bid and honest opinion on what to do.
The job took a lot of expertise from the standpoint of making quick decisions and having experience with the equipment to replace pipe under concrete. His crew was fast and hardworking. They cleaned up great and left everything the way it was but with new clean pipes. Yeah for us for picking him to do the job! Thanks Nick and  crew.

Let me start by saying that we've had plumbing issues since we purchased our home five years ago.  We've thrown away at least a thousand dollars just getting the place snaked over and over again.  Finally we called Sal's.  We needed a new line from the front of the house to the street.  Arturo worked through the night, in the rain, and on my second story roof to find the problem.  He was professional, friendly, punctual and honest.  The job was expensive and a week before Christmas, but Arturo was worth every penny.

I always say it and I will say it  again... Sal's is REALLY 24/7.  I had a very tough job involving replacing a lot of pipes and fittings under an apartment building.  Unfortunately the only access was on the far side of the building.  This meant my plumber Fidel from Sal's plumbing had to crawl a very far distance in a very tight space.  He worked until 11:00pm with no breaks to restore water for my tenants so they could have a shower the next morning... and this was also on a Saturday night.  If James Brown is the hardest working man in show  business then Fidel is the hardest working man in plumbing.  He dug, he crawled, he  improvised, and he got the job done with no complaints and a great attitude.  Was this cheap... of course not.  But was the price fair given the scope of the job and the work ethic and the very challenging conditions.. I would say  they were completely reasonable on the bill.  I am really impressed with Fidel and Sal's.. he promised he would get the job done and he did.

Our plumbing system went down late Sunday afternoon - standing black water in tubs, etc.  Called Sal's plumbing and Thomas came out to evaluate.  He went under the house and let us know that we have two areas where we had leaking from the drainage pipes.  Our issue was that we did not have a good clean-out to snake.  Thomas proposed replacing all of the cast iron pipes and installing a new clean out at the front of the house. We are extremely pleased with the result.  It did take 2 days to complete, but the pictures that Thomas took showed how wonderful everything is now under the house.  I would highly recommend Sal's Plumbing & Rooter and Thomas (plumber) for any plumbing issues.

I had to call for a plumber today to clear few clogged drains in my house and Thomas came to my house on time and he was great! The bathtub drain was working fine when he checked for some reason and he didn't try to over sell me anything. His first attempt at clearing the kitchen drain failed and I became concerned it might be more serious than just a simple clogged drain, but he changed his snake and eventually he got it cleared for me. I was so happy and grateful for his professionalism and pride he has with his work. I am on a fixed income since i've retired and I am glad Thomas was able to help me!

As a landlord and tennant myself, I periodically encounter unexpected plumbig issues that require immediate fixing. I've used all kinds of plumbing services around the Los Angeles area and Sal's Plumbing stands head and shoulders above the rest. They are incredibly well-knowleged and are very reasonable when it comes to price. As a landlord i've dealt with many plumbing companies, but none have given me the comfort and peace of mind that Sal's does. I highly recommend these guys as they professional, reliable and easy to work with. five stars!!

While I was out of town for a few days and my mother-in-law/sister-in-law were watching our kids, our hot water went out. There was a problem with our tankless water heater. A person from Sal's came out, took a quick look, didn't even open it up to inspect, and provided a $4600 estimate. I was shocked when I heard! The unit itself is $1300.

I called a different plumbing company (Richon Plumbing), who helped me assess it for free and then encouraged me to call the manufacturer directly. After all is said and done it cost me $475 to fix the problem.

It's clear that the technician from Sal's was taking advantage of the situation and trying to overcharge us. Shameful.

Had an overflowing toilet on a Thursday night and plunger did not help. Time for a pro. Called Sal's, quick pickup, gave price quote and said Mark would arrive between 7 and 9 that night. Mark did, had a hard time deciding where the drain blockage was because of old plumbing drain lines. Took a chance and snaked UP the drain line back to the house and got rid of the clog. Price was as quoted. First time using Sal's and I will use again for big plumbing problems.

Appliance nightmare no more! Thankfully, I was able to get someone out to my place over the holiday weekend to fix my ish. I had all of the necessary parts needed to connect my new dryer - except for an experienced professional to connect it! I did not want to rely on YouTube for this project. Ha!

Joe was in and out within an hour!  He was very sweet and polite. He knew what he was doing and that instantly put me at ease.

Two thumbs up! Thank you for the prompt response and service!

Was my first time using Sal and could not  be more pleased with the service and the very fair price from Sal.  Highly recommend Sal!

This is one of the best plumbing repair experiences I've had.  Sal's Plumbing showed up 15 minutes ahead of schedule and fixed my issue in no time.  Technician Thomas was very professional and knowledgeable and kept me informed of the work he was doing.  And, they kept with the price quoted on the phone.  I'll be sure to recommend them.

My gas was shut off last week due to a gas leak. Unfortunately, I didn't figure it out until Saturday. I looked on Yelp for reputable plumbers that handled leaking gas pipes. Sal's plumbing popped up, and as I've actually used them a couple times before with good results, I called them.

Luis came out in the pouring rain to assess the situation. He said we had a substantial leak but he wouldn't know how bad it was till he was able to come back out on Monday morning with the proper equipment. We made the best of the situation till then. Monday it was still raining and Luis and his partner arrived and got to work. They had to do some digging to find where the leaks were and repair them. Later in the day the Gas Co. came back out, signed off on the repair, and turned my gas back on,

Because my hot water heater was on its last leg, I decided to have them come back the next day and put in a new one before I had another disaster. Overall, I was very impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. They definitely know what they're doing and I would not hesitate to call them again. The repair was costly, but necessary. The new hot water heater was expensive, because of the kind I had to get, but I did some checking and I feel their prices are competative. I would definitely recommend Sal's Plumbing, especially Luis and his partner.

So good - came over in less than 24 hours and David spent 2 hours trying to fix the problem even though he could have just told me to call an appliance repair person.  When he left he would not even accept the tip!

Thomas came out within 2 hours and explained the problem clearly.  He offered a quick fix but also explained that to do the job right would take replacing some pipes.  Didn't want to have to call them back later on down the road & knew the pipes were old.  He had it fixed quickly, was very polite and cleaned up nicely when he was finished.  

Thanks for a job well done!

Thomas from Sal's Plumbing came out to our home on Tuesday, July 27 to assist us with a clogged bathroom sink. We have used Sal's numerous times in the past. They always respond quickly by phone, arrive on-time as promised, are friendly to work with, and provide superior quality service! I would highly recommend them if you live in the South Bay.

We had a leak and decided to call Sal's Plumbing again since we used them last time with Mike, it was ok then.  This time around one guy came out left and couldn't find where the leak was, second guy named Eric S. came out next day, he then cut the wall in our garage where the leaks was and cut into our water supply pipe.  Obviously the original leak was very slow that why the first guy left.  This Eric guy cut the pipe and made two dent marks and water burst out like crazy and he tried to deny it.  Not only that he took the plywood board away to hide the evidence that he actually used the power tool to cut it.  Experienced plumber tells me that they wouldn't use power tool to cut drywall instead hammer it first.  So after he denied that he created that leak, he was trying to give us some outrageous quote to fix it!  

We had to call another plumber Fragoso's and they confirmed that the guy cut it, it wasn't there, and they discover the leak on the drain pipe next to it, that was why the original leak was a slow leaks.  We tried calling them many times the next day asking them to come fix or pay for the cut they caused.  The manager never call us back, we would try to bring them to small claim court.  This was horrible experience, they should admit it was their fault and try to fix it for us.  

So we ended up having to fix the cut they caused and the drain leak was discovered with more than $1K!  Beware of this company, not professional at all if they want to stay in business and keep their reputation, they should offer to come out and fix the cuts the Eric S. guy caused!

Terrible, terrible!

After taking 3 hours to fix our leaking shower head, they successfully replaced the cartridge in the shower. The next morning, the shower head was still leaking and even worse. We called and they came out again, evaluated it again and said we need to replace a valve, which requires cutting a hole on the other side of the wall, estimate was $1700.00. We got a 2nd opinion from a referral from a family friend and told them the problem over the phone and said to first try to replace our old shower head. We bought a new one immediately and the leaking has completely stopped. Be careful on seeking their advice.

I had a plumbing emergency with my rental on a Saturday in October. My tenants actually found Sal's after calling around. They were the most reasonable for a Saturday call. It turned out that I had roots in my old cast iron under the house. Thomas removed the clog having to pull the toilet in the process.  I didn't want any more clogs so I had Thomas come back the following Monday and he and another worker, JR, removed about 20 ft. of cast iron, installed a clean out all with new PVC. The price was probably a third of what I had been quoted by a few other companies.  Both Thomas and JR were very polite to my tenants and completed the job in 1 day, as they said they would. I highly recommend Sal's Plumbing. Ask for Thomas and JR.

I've hired Sal's Plumbing twice now. The first time was for a 100 ft. sewer pipe replacement and I was nervous at first; however, I was so impressed with Nick and his team because they're a very organized and efficient crew that completed the job in only 3 days. Nick is so easy to work with, has great follow up on any questions or concerns, and makes sure to show you the progress they're making each step of the way. He also gave me before and after videos showing the inside of the old sewer vs. the new one. The second time I had a clogged drain in my kitchen sink, and Thomas not only fixed the problem, he thoughtfully removed my garbage disposal because I don't use it, and added new drain pipes for me. He's a friendly and helpful professional  that takes the time to explain and show his results. I'd recommend them for any plumbing job because of their expertise level, reasonable cost, and great customer service that goes above and beyond expectations!

We called on a Saturday morning for diagnostic on a sewer smell in the bathroom. They were very accommodating and scheduled for a same-day service, and their weekend rates are no different than weekday. The technicians were about an hour late for our service window and the office never called to let us know they were running late. I had to call a few times to get updates which was annoying. However when they arrived the techs were very friendly and professional. They climbed under the crawlspace to look at the pipes, they ran a camera down our mainline, and they reported back on what they saw. Unfortunately they couldn't diagnose exactly what the issue was other than a possibly short term clog that had cleared itself leaving a bad smell inside. Still happy we called them for peace of mind and will definitely use them in the future.

My husband attempted to hookup the washer & dryer at our new rental home. Even after several valve size changes, there was still a faint gas leak from the dryer. We gave up and called this company. Zalas was scheduled to come over the very next day. He called in advance for photos of the existing valve in order to be ready to install the correct size valve. Within 30 minutes or so, he detected the leak and fixed the gas leak by installing the right valve. He was very efficient and professional! I would ask for Zalas again. I took one star off because I thought the service price was a bit expensive, even with the slight discount he gave me. But maybe his rate is comparable to other plumbers...I don't know. It is generally known that plumbers earn a lot! :)

Wow, after getting the run-around from other plumbing companies, called Sal's at 4:55 p.m., after being put off another day by the other guys, Bryan showed up BEFORE the quoted time frame of 6-8 p.m. that day, fixed the clogged drain within minutes, charge was very reasonable.  When it is a tenant's residence-you have to act quicker than for yourself, and they were becoming impatient.  Now I can go out-of-town tomorrow for the first time in many moons, and sleep very well tonight.

Had major roots growing in my main drain to the sewer. The whole house flooded from the blockage. It was a big job to dig up the blocked drain and replace it. Sal's team handled the task in less than 2 days. It was a huge bill and I wish they had financing available but that's not on the company. Overall would definitely recommend.

I've used Sal's Plumbing before and was very pleased, as I am this time also.  They arrived just as they said, assessed the situation quickly, gave me what I felt was a fair price before starting the work - listing each task.  It became apparent that he had to get a special part, so he went to the store and returned to finish the job quickly.  Very friendly, helpful and I liked that he asked about my prior experience with them - seems like they are a great team. I would definitely recommend them!

Very unhappy how they weren't upfront about the charges. At first I was told the charge would be at least $95-98 for the trip charge. The apartment had a mainline backup. By the time the plumber got there it had cleared itself. The plumber called me and told me what happened, and said he cleaned it up a little bit but didn't have to clear out the clog. So I verified the charge with him and he said no it was actually $150. I figured that's fine since it was later in the evening after normal hours (7pm-8pm). Later I got the bill and it was $250- $100 for the late night charge and $150 for him to unclog something already unclogged! I felt this wasn't very upfront with pricing

DISHONEST, incompetent, and disrespectful. Gus was a nightmare. He is incredibly rude, he went to the wrong house and then yelled at my nanny for not being home, even though I was there waiting for him the whole time. He also lied about the price he quoted me. At first he said $300, then said $350, and tried to pretend that he never told me $300 in the first place. Then in the process of unclogging my sink they broke a pipe (tried to lie and say it was already that way), water was spilling everywhere on my hard wood floors and they did nothing about it until I begged them to wipe it up. Now I have another headache to deal with. Completely disrespectful to women and our home. I will NEVER USE THEM AGAIN. The only reason we called them this second time was because they fixed the issue the first time and hoped they would stand by their work (of course they don't). We needed them to fix the same issue, but should have learned our lesson after having a nightmare encounter the first time. Service was horrible, Gus was throwing our stuff around forcefully, didn't bother wipe up behind himself, I'll never put myself through this again. The one star I am forced to give is for Pedro - even though he intentionally tried to jack up the price after the office already quoted us a lower number, I was able to actually communicate with him and have a conversation, because with Gus, I could not.

I called the office at Sal's plumbing he said he would send a man out to have a look at our clogged sewer even though it was after hours.
A professional young man named Thomas showed up with a great attitude and polite manners figured out the problem and cleared our sewer in a jiffy.
I highly recommend Sal's plumbing and especially Thomas.
I will definitely use Sal's plumbing in the future and of course request that Thomas returns.

I booked an appointment for 9AM on a Monday and the plumber showed up right after 10AM.  This was after 2 calls I made to their office asking about the status of my appointment.  The receptionist first told me he is on his way at 9:30AM then his first appointment took longer than anticipated at 10AM when both the plumber and the receptionist later confirmed I was their first appointment of the day.  I understand things can happen that makes him late but lying about it does not help the situation and it only frustrates the customer even more.

Once the plumber arrived, he gave me a quote and started the work right away.  He connected the gas line and took care of two faucet issues I had with a reasonable rate.  I am happy with the work overall and will give them business in the future.  However, the tardiness could be an potential issue. Hence the 4 stars instead of 5.

Sal's Plumbing is a great local business! Fast response 24/7, able to work around my schedule with only a 2hr window. Thomas came on time and was very professional. He snaked the drain but also identified the problem which is likely to come up again. After he was finished with the drain he explained how we should upgrade our lines to avoid future clogs!  Great service all around!

We had a leaking toilet and decided to call Sals plumbing. This is the only company that was able to come out same day and with an a three hour period. Thomas showed up and ready to work. I told him that I was a germabobe and needed everything to be clean and tidy when removing the toilet. He fixed the leak. And even clean the toilet for me afterwards. He brought new rags and put on shoe covers because of my issue with germs. Thomas was very professional and I would highly recommend Sal's plumbing and I would definitely use them again if needed.

Update: more lies and scamming. I called Monday to request a refund since the tub was never looked at and was told there were notes left regarding my complaint and a refund would be issued. I was on my way over here to update my review to resolved when a nagging told me to wait until the money was posted. Sure enough, no refund come Tuesday, when I was told it would process. I call back and the manager tells me that Angela is the owner and is not going to issue a refund. Apparently they just say whatever they want and then change their minds.

Another update: they also refuse to issue an invoice/receipt (apparently they don't give receipts until 2 weeks later when their plumbers are paid? I call bs)

I called Sal's Plumbing out for a problem in my shower.  The guy that came out was professional and great.  The problem I had was the work being quoted was overpriced.  In addition, additional work I was not asking to be done was offered and quoted also.  The additional work was for something that the city or in my case the Water Company was responsible for fixing.  The initial problem I called about did get fixed but by someone else for less than half of the price quoted.  I can say the guy who responded did call his supervisor and ask for some wiggle room in the quoted price and was flat out told no the price is a fixed price.  I would say buyer beware and get several quotes before settling on this company.

I've never used Sal's Plumbing in the past.  Saturday, my renter called to let me know the bathroom sink was plugged.  After doing my mandatory attempt to undo the stoppage I looked up several plumbing outfits and made calls.  Sal's was the first to say they could be there within an hour.  The plumber showed up as promised and found what I suspected - something other than hair was in the main piping.  He went out of his way to locate a clean out and grind through the material to clear the drain.  No additional cost.  I'm a happy customer and now have my 'go to ' plumber.

I definitely would not use these guys.

When my kitchen sink backed up and the DIY didn't work they came out and snaked it. When that didn't work they said they would jet clean the line for $625 except that they couldn't jet clean from the inside since it was only a 1  1/2 inch line and so they needed to install a 2 inch clean-out to get access from the outside for another $350. They also said that jet cleaning from the inside was too risky/messy.

When things sounded fishy I called Aqualina. When I questioned them about whether they could jet clean from the inside using only a one and a half inch line they acted like I had just been duped. They did it from the inside accessing only the one and a half inch line for literally one third of the price, $375. Extremely professional with no water spillage or mess. When I watched them do the work I realized the issue of water spillage/mess was not even close to being an issue.

I had a large leak coming from my mainline pipe that connects from the street to my home.  I called Sal's Plumbing at 9:32a and was greeted with a receptionist immediately.  She informed me that one of her guys, Nick, could be at my house in 20-30 minutes to take a look.  Nick arrived promptly and was able to assess my situation.  He offered me several options including a patch or a complete re-piping from the street to my house.  Since this was the second time we've had issues with this mainline pipe, I was interested in the re-piping.  I called several other plumbers on the same day.  Only one called me back in 5 minutes and 3 others called me 2-4 hours later (two of them never called back!).  After three different estimates,  Nick from Sal's Plumbing offered me the best price and time frame.  Nick had two other jobs that day but was able to turn off the mainline valve so that we could avoid further water leaking.  He and his crew returned early the next morning as promised and completed the job by early noon!  I am so grateful for Nick's promptness, frankness, and reassurance when my family needed it most with our mainline leak.  I highly recommend calling Sal and asking for Nick!

I called for a free estimate, the person who answered the phone was friendly, and was able to schedule an appointment for the following business day. The tech, Gino, stuck to the time window I was given. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. He took the time to answer my questions, and did not make it seem as though he was in a rush like other companies tend to act like when they offer free estimates.

I have to figure out my budget but when I do I will most likely be giving Sal's my business.

I called Sal's a couple days ago for a clog we had in our kitchen sink. They were able to identify the location of the clog within minutes. They had to break some drywall in the garage to get to the clog but it was patched up like new and the clog was cleared out. The cost of the work performed was excellent compared to a couple other plumbing companies I called.  
I highly recommend Sal's for any of your plumbing needs.

I've used Sal's a few time over the past couple of years, excellent work and pricing for those few jobs.  Sadly, I will no longer be using Sal's Plumbing.  My plumbing is old, so I really do not know what to expect as far as what is causing some of the problems, so I've got to put the trust in the plumber, right?  The last issue was a long time reoccurring problem over several years, that would come and go with the help of my own clearing methods.  Finally I could no longer solve the problem and contacted Sal's without a hesitation.  I was told that my kitchen drain needed to be re-routed to the main.  In order to fix it, it meant cutting concrete across the porch leading to the concrete driveway and cutting it about 20 foot long to reach the main.  Quoted $3,200.00 for the job.  I about choked, who has that kind of money, my goodness.  Asking why so much, all the tech would say it is a lot of work.  I tried to reach Joe, to talk to him about the cost quoted and to ask why would a tech be giving a price for a job, how would he know how much to charge, but I was not able to get Joe.  At the completion of the job, only the porch had been cut, about a 3' x 12 area.  And a new drain trap was sticking out of the out side of the wall, I was told, next time they needed to drain the kitchen drain all they would have to do is go through that.  I still was charged $3,200.00, ouch. :(

As a homeowner, it's a great feeling to know that there are honest companies to do business with. Water backed up in our 2 tubs and 2 toilets. After a little online investigation, we came to the conclusion it was a sewer line stoppage. I called Sals and they sent John over pretty quickly. He was professional and took care of business quickly and efficiently, no upsell or bullshit. They are now the go to plumber for me.

A few weeks ago I had a pinhole leak in the plumbing outside. Our manager suggested Sal's plumbing. I called and made an appointment - easy, quick and courteous. Fidel was my plumber. He was fantastic! Knowledgable, professional, quick and neat.  My experience was great but several people in the know have told me I was way over charged!  That's not nice to know.  I feel taken advantaged of

Sal's plumbing is the best!

I had a severe toilet leak in my rental that was handled in a very timely and efficient manner. They made it seem as if it wasn't a big issue at all, which is a testament to their expertise and attention to customer service. I highly recommend this company!

I had a water leak on my garage ceiling last week, I called Sal's plumbing, the plumber arrived at my home after about 1 hour. The plumber told me $98 to open the ceiling, and he quickly found the leaking source, it is a pin hole on the copper cap. After he found the problem, he fixed the problem in 1 hour.

Overall, Sal's plumbing responses the customer request promptly, and fixed the issue quickly.

Hired Sal  plumbing to install new water heater, later found out I had gas leaks. After 2 attempts from Sal  (Gas Co.  came out three different times to tell us the leak was still there) Sal's Plummer said would come out on a certain day and never showed up. We finally had to fire them and get our money back.  It took Shamrock Plumbing one attempt to find and fix my gas leak. Only received 1 because we got our money back.

My old water heater started leaking and flooded part of the hallway, so I drained the tank. I called and had some other plumbers come in to give me quotes and learned just how many flakey ones are out there. When the one I decided to hire didn't show up and then tell me he couldn't do the job, I called Sal's Plumbing next. Anthony came over very quickly, was straight with me, dispelling all the conflicting information that the previous plumbers had told me. He gave me the quote, explaining in detail all that it included, warranty information, etc. On top of that, he gave me a better (lower) price than anyone else. He showed up with a helper to install the water heater just when he said he would. They were quick, thorough, and Anthony explained the setup and controls before they left. Just a nice, friendly and honest guy who obviously enjoys his work. I told him that he's our guy for anything we needed involving plumbing.

They showed up on time, checked the problem and fixed it in a timely manner. They also checked a little further to be sure that it was nothing more serious. They came in the evening and the price charged was very reasonable for after normal work hours. I will use them again when needed, and I recommend them over other companies I have used in the past.

My review is based on the quick response and review by Sal's.  I reached out to them and they were able to send someone that same day to fix the leak in my waterline to my refrigerator. Not a 911 emergency since I could shut it off but still something I wanted fixed. Staff arrived timely and they were very friendly and professional. Only reason did not go with this coming was their timing was little longer than I wanted.

David has provided great customer service twice for my guest bathroom.  The first time was when my toilet was having issues.  He was the third plumber that came out and fixed the problem successfully.  I thought I would have to get a new toilet, but all he did was replace the part that was causing the problem and I haven't had any issues ever since.   Today he came by and helped with a drainage issue for my bathroom sink.  He has always been friendly and professional and I highly recommend him for your plumbing needs.  Also, I have never had a problem getting in contact with a live person when I've called during business hours which is another plus.  They have also provided great customer service.  You can't go wrong with Sal's Plumbing.

Our water heater was completely shot, and we needed a new one asap. Sal's had their technician at our house in less than an hour.  Martin was great -- friendly, knowledgeable, fast and clean. Unlike all the other companies, Sal's gave us their all-in price up-front. There were no extra fees or expenses to add later, and they stuck to that price. Hot water was restored in a couple of hours.

I would hire them again in a heartbeat, and recommend them wholeheartedly.

I read numerous Yelp entries on several plumbing companies before calling Sal's. The office staff were professional and were able to  set-up an appointment for between 3 and 4 the same afternoon. So far, so good. About an hour later I got a call from Sal's, the caller stated that they had a cancellation and could come by earlier, I told them that I a few things to do in the AM and kept my original appointment. At about 3:05, I received a call from Sal's, the caller stated that the company did not forget about me and the next available plumber  would be at my house in about 30 minuets. An hour and a half later Pedro showed up. Pedro was professional and polite, he completed the job in a timely manner and the price was fair. My only problem was waiting for over an hour and a half past my appointment time.

Warning- long review!

It took me a couple days to finish this review... trying  my best to be calm and reasonable and just document what happened in the past few days.

We found water leak on Sunday night and were super panic as this was our first time ever experiencing this, so we called Sal's based on a neighbor's recommendation and good Yelp review. The receptionist was very nice and booked someone to come in next morning.

They were very on time the first day, and I did appreciate that. They looked at the problem and told me my master bathroom drain pipe burst and needed to replace it as well as the main drain. They quoted me a very high number (9000) for the job. I was in shock but also stressed and wanted to be done, so I agreed (my fault, I know). And they promised me to start that day, but they only cut open one part of the wall and then left (took about an hour to consult and cut the wall in total).

Next morning (Tuesday) they arrived around 9:30, and said they are gonna start the work. I stayed at home with the kids when The tech called me to ask me to come down. I didn't see much progress, but instead he started to talk me into having other additional services (jet wash and repipe). He took the time to show me why I should get the jet wash done and why I need to repipe, I told him I will think about it. They said they will go on lunch break soon and they left around 12:40 ( I remember the exact time because I was feeding my kids and looking at time to monitor nap time). That break was a 2 hour break. They were back around 3. Talked to my husband about the same thing (jet wash and repipe) and then said they are done for the day (total working hour is around 4 hours). That day they opened up more ceilings and walls. It was mainly one worker on site most of the time. The plumber in charge came in and out. I asked about a plumber report again, he told me he will give me a nice report tomorrow.

The third day they arrived around 10. Started the work to replace the pipes. The main plumber left again. 2 workers were working on site most of the time (one young man WITHOUT mask for most of the time). My husband went to ask for the report and before and after pics he promised to give me. He gave me a piece of paper with very vague info. Also, no pictures before they cut open the wall or ceiling like he promised. Again, I tried my best to trust his professionalism. They worked from around 10-4:30. Cleaned up the floors and plastic and left. We noticed our kitchen floor were tore (from dragging and moving the refrigerator) and the holes on the ceilings were very ugly. Mitigation company came in to give us quote, and even asked me if those hole were made from the plumber because it should not look this bad.

More people came in to give us quotes of repair and possible repiping. EVERYONE mentioned the ugly holes and said they should do a better job. Some plumbers came in and told me we are waaaay over charged. Again, I know I'm the one who agreed on the price but it was heartbreaking because those are hard working money and we know nothing about plumbing and trying to trust a professional.

I'm sad this happened to us, and this is just my honest opinion. With the price we paid, I really think we deserved better service.

Sal's Plumbing is a company that operates with integrity, honesty and follow-through.  I was so impressed with the owner of the company, Joe, he told me Sal's would match the price if I was quoted a lower price for the work.  As a woman who does not know much about plumbing it is important to feel that I am dealing with a company that holds themselves to high professional ethical standards.  I will be contacting Sal's Plumbing for all my plumbing needs.

Absolutely a great experience with Sal's Plumbing!!

Called the office, the lady on the phone was super nice and she sent David to my house on the same day, gave me a FREE estimate.

We made an appointment, and David came by on time(not all of the plumbers would keep their promise and come on time)and helped me fix my toilet tank perfectly!

Plus the price is fair, and I would definitely use Sal's again!! Thank you, David!!! Thank you Sal's!!!!!!

Our sink is now working perfectly! My husband called Sal's after our kitchen sink kept backing up- and after we spent a month trying to fix it ourselves. I wish we'd called Sal's sooner. Sergio and JR knew exactly what to do when snaking wasn't enough to clear it immediately and used some critical thinking to go through another pipe in our parking garage. We live in a condo so the pipes can be tricky. They did a great job and worked cleanly. Would call them again! Thank you!

We called Sal's because we saw all the good reviews and we're new to the area so we didn't  have any plumber that we frequent. I'm  glad we called Sal's because they were super helpful and  friendly. Our water heater stopped working, and who doesn't hate a cold shower so we were desperate  for quick and good service. So Gino showed up about an hour after we called him to check it out. He inspected everything and turns out the part that was messed up was a rare part. Gino told us that it might be worthwhile to just get a new water heater, granted our heater was pretty old.  Unfortunately he didn't have our size water heater that night but he came first thing in the morning to replace it and haul away our old one.  Overall good experience and quick and efficient service.

It is very simple. They are prompt, give a fair price and get the job done correctly. I had an unfortunate leak at the valve behind my toilet. It was a last minute request, but they were able to work me into the schedule. Marvin came out, completed the repair, and took his time to make sure everything was completed thoroughly.

Fast forward to a week later. I discover a leak in the copper pipe above my main doorway. It is Super Bowl Sunday and i have guests coming in a couple of hours. Again, Marvin to the rescue. Completes the job in an hour.

I can't speak highly enough of this company and Marvin. The guy takes pride in his work. An honest and hard working individual working for a respectable small business in the community. Customer service is name of the game.

Hit or miss. We called them once, for a busted pipe issue and Mike came out and was GREAT. Honest, reasonable, reliable, and communicative.

Our second experience was SO bad though, that it drove my five star review so far down to two. We booked Mike again and he was out sick so they said they could send someone else the next day. Well, they sent a man named Salvatore, who was two hours late because of a mix up, and he wasn't wearing a mask when I went to answer the door. Since we're in the middle of a pandemic, I motioned for him to wear his mask and he did. He took a look at the work required and provided us with a quote that was over $800 more than it should have been. He also tried to up-charge us on getting a $35 faucet by almost $300, and we said no thanks.

We ended up booking the job with a competitor who was FANTASTIC, and extremely fair in their pricing.

A few days ago, I smelled gas in our home and ultimately, had the gas company come out to inspect. Unfortunately, we had some pretty massive gas leaks of almost a pound per minute and our gas was immediately shut off. After jumping on Yelp and looking for reputable plumbers, we found Sal's and we're SO glad that we did.

Luis and Rodrigo, the service technicians who immediately came to our home were UNBELIEVABLY informative, efficient and kind. They walked us through every step of the project and assured us that it would be resolved quickly, correctly and safely. I've honestly never been more impressed by the level of care and pride that they both took in their work -- every step was completed carefully and respectfully of our home/ belongings. Both gentlemen communicated with us in the way that a family member in the industry would, and that is certainty not the norm. We feel INCREDIBLY grateful that Luis and Rodrigo were there to help during this scary time.

The job was completed quickly and without any hiccups. Pricing was more than fair and communication from Joe, the owner, was impeccable. He was always available to speak and/ or returned our calls without fail. Thank you. Seriously. Much appreciated.

Sal's plumbing came to me when I had an emergency as my sink had backed up. Dimas was honest and showed me the problem and what it was going to take to fix it. He took pictures and and explained to me what needed to be done. Then once fixed he showed me pictures of the changes and repairs he had made. A great company, I will absolutely use them again and would refer them to anyone.

We were getting new countertops and hired Sal's Plumbing to uninstall our faucets and then reinstall our new faucet. It sounds like a fairly simple job, but ended up being very complicated. Joe quoted us a a price ahead of time for the labor and gave us a detailed break-down of the cost of the various parts we needed. From calling a few other plumbers, their quote was $100-$200 cheaper than anyone else. They did a thorough job with the installation, catching a problem that the countertop installers had caused and fixing it for a very reasonable price. And most impressively, they fixed a manufacturer's defect in our new faucet (the head of the faucet was leaking) free of charge, even though our job took them longer than expected and they were behind in their calls.

Excellent work, excellent price, we'd definitely hire them again.

This is my second time using Sal's. The first was my shower leak. (Martin did a great job). Today, I had a leak under my  kitchen sink. Thomas explained everything he had to do and gave me a fair price. I'm glad I called them. Very professional and great work.

I had a new refrigerator delivered only to find that my icemaker valve behind the refrigerator was broken and stuck in the on position so delivery crew could not install until it was fixed. I called Sal's and within 1 hour that day, they sent someone out. Very Fast response time.

Dave came out and took a look and helped change the ice maker valve and replace it with a new one. He was professional, INSTRUCTIONAL (taught a new homebuyer like me some tips and tricks), friendly, and wore  his face covering. He was also very dog friendly and took a hosing down from the water line with a smile and a laugh.

They fixed the part and pricing was very reasonable for parts and 2 hours of labor. Would recommend to anyone in South Bay.

I'm so relieved to have used Sal's Plumbing.  I called and got an appointment within the hour.  When the plumber was running a few minutes late, a receptionist called to let me know.  Thomas quickly diagnosed the problem, showed me the situation with the old clogged pipes and explained how he was going to fix it.  After the repair, he answered my questions and left everything clean and tidy.

Thomas was awesome.  Clean worker and professional.  Very clear explanation so I knew what to expect.  He wore booties to protect my light carpet.  And very clean clean clean.  The pricing was incredible for fast service on a Sunday afternoon.  They said between 4:00 and 6:00.  They arrived 4:15.  I am thrilled.  There was no upsell or scare tactic.

I have nothing but great things to say about Sals plumbing Inc.
I have had to call them twice for different issues and each time I've been met with professionalism and kindness. They give you a window and they usually come within the first hour of that window. They also go above and beyond as one of their plumbers was on his day off and still returned my call and gave advice over the phone. I am very pleased with the service provided by Dimus and Thomas and will only use Sals for any plumbing concerns.

This was my third time using Sal's over the past five years, and just like the other two times before, the experience was great! They were able to check out the issues we were having within a couple hours of my call, knew exactly what was happening and returned the following morning to start the work, per my request. Kevin kept me apprised of the work performed and he and his team did an excellent job with our water heater installation and other work we requested. They were quick, efficient and did an amazing job, which I appreciate! I will continue to work with Sal's for any future plumbing needs and would recommend them to others. Thank you Kevin and team!

I called Sal's because my regular plumber of 20 years was unavailable until next year. They came that same day! My toilet wasn't flushing completely and my shower was draining slow. I also wanted them to check my dishwasher as I could hear water dripping. Nick came and checked it and the job went from minor to pretty major. Nick was so awesome explaining and showing me the issues. He also kept me up to date on the progress. I'm so glad I called Sal's. I think I may have to break up with my old plumber and stay with theses guys. Thanks Nick for Everything!!

Our sink clogged and the water was starting to back up.  We called Sal's and they came out in less than an hour.  It took a lot of effort but they were able to get our sink working again.  Service was great.  Thomas was very nice, professional, cleaned up the mess that was made and put back everything back as it was. In addition, our fix came with a 30 day warranty.  Will definitely be using them again if we ever need a plumber.

Was referred to Sal's from a friend.  Sal's office and Sal was very easy to work with, timely efficient and polite.  Called the office this morning and he came when he said he would be there.  We thought we had a leak because we heard a noise in the bathroom that we couldn't identify.  Sal was persistent in trying to discover the problem.  He also discovered that there was a loose flex pipe in our kitchen which was leaking gas, and fixed that for us.  It wasn't too long before he discovered the noise was from  a flap in our Toto toilet.  He was going to call me back with an estimate to fix the toilet and I got a call within an hour with the estimate, so we are also having them replace a different toilet at the same time.  Definitely use Sal's.  I have used other plumbers in the past and know that Sal is very good, honest and timely.

Water was coming up in the toilet and shower in our downstairs bathroom.  This wasn't the first time & every time in the past, all we've gotten was a snake-out of the pipes. Of course it was late at night, so we googled 24 hour plumbing and I liked the name, Sal's, so I called. Lucky shot!  We will be using them forever.

Thomas arrived quickly and assessed the problem/s - not just the immediate your drain is clogged (which he did fix right then).  He also ran a camera in several directions and found roots, from one direction and not the other.  Curious, right?  The original sewer pipes had an elbow bend built in that no other plumber had ever guessed existed, AND he brought a machine that found the underground location of said bend.  Every time he stepped foot in my house, he wore protective booties.

The next day, Thomas and another gentlemanly plumber, Rodrigo,  identified exactly where the clog-causing bend was (3 feet under the ground).  They dug down (leaving all the diggings on a tarp for easy clean-up), installed a 4-inch clean out, used a magic super high pressure water blaster to clear the pipes of all roots.  They inspected with more cameras in every direction.  They tolerated my dog's enthusiastic attentions.  

They left the property spotless, guaranteed their work and charged less than we expected.  So, yes, we'd recommend Sal's.

I had a very badly clogged toilet that I was trying to deal with on my own due to being so embarrassed about the situation. Finally, I realized I needed a professional. Thomas of Sal's was just that person. Came in, wore booties, gloves and a mask, used an auger to clear the pipe, and even asked for paper towels to clean out the nasty toilet bowl for me. Plus, he was friendly (to me AND my little dog)!
Sal's will be my plumbing service from now on. BTW they offered same day service. (Oh yeah, the office staff is very pleasant and professional, too!)

We've used Sal's Plumbing in the past for some plumbing issues and have been very happy with them.  A few days ago our hot water heater started making some very strange noises - sounded like it was going to blow up!  David came out to check it and we did need a new one.  He did a great job, was quick and very efficient and a really nice guy too.  Our hot water was back up and running so fast I didn't even really notice it was out.  Thank you David!

On top of that he was very informative and pointed out problem areas to look for. I would highly recommend Sal's plumbing and definitely will use them again.

Thomas showed up on time and did an excellent job of unclogging our shower drain and also going the extra mile by going under the house to check and diagnose the real problem which was a bad leak and old bad pipes! He even went out of his way to buy caulk and seal the leaks all throughout the shower cracks and even the bathroom sink. Great Job! Professional and on time. Would recommend them anytime.

Sal's Plumbing is excellent! I would recommend them to anyone who needs any plumbing service. They were able to send out someone within 4 hours of calling in the morning to look at the problem. They were able to start the next day. Luis and Jesus helped me out immensely with the gas lines at my house after having some leaks due to a poor job done a few years ago. Not only were they informative but super honest about everything and how the process would go. The job took a day's work to replace a water heater and redo the gas line system. They installed everything so perfectly and I couldn't be any happier with the job that was done.

I recently broke the handle off my hot water faucet in my shower and out of fear of flooding my entire house, I turned the water off completely and called Sal's immediately. It was around 10pm and Joe was at my house in 45 minutes to fix the problem! I knew I needed someone who was available right away and Sal's is 24 hours. I am so grateful! He fixed it rather quickly and at an affordable price. I will never call another plumber again!

I wanted to express my gratitude and give my compliments to Thomas for providing an excellent service. He arrived on time and brought his brand new shoe cover. He spend the time patiently explaining and recommending what needed to be fixed. After he had completed work, he took out his 401 cleaner to clean up the mess. I'm extremely impressed as he's the first and only plumber that have ever done this. A big shoutout to Thomas. Thanks!

My family just bought a new home and the very first memory we get to make was backed up pipes on day 1! After the initial panic our neighbor recommended Sal's for fast and affordable help with the water leaks. Thomas came out, calmed us down and walked us through the process for snaking and explained how replacement pipes would work. The water is all draining now and we will be scheduling a follow up with them to replace our garage piping as recommended.

I first want to say I am not the type that enter reviews on lines except for two reasons, one if I am totally satisfied or dissatisfied, there is no in between. This review is no different.

I am in my mid 50's, so I have been around a bit and have experienced a lot of things including using different repair companies requiring many different services, so I am very keen on determining if a business is suitable to use and definitely when referring to my friends and relatives and Sal's plumbing is one of those businesses. Every time I call Sal's the staff there are always professional and polite. They are responsive to my requested service and their prices are more than competitive.

The last service call I had with Sal's was a few weeks ago this call was no different. The staff was polite, professional and attentive to my needs and the plumber arrived on time and got right down to business, his name is Joey, who I have encountered several times before. He is always nice and favors my nephew which did not prejudice my review. Lol.  

I have even referred Sal's to friends and family which if you knew me know I would never do if I wasn't confident they would deliver.

Last but not least give them a try and judge for yourself.

They get 2 stars for completing an easy job to meet bare minimum expectations, but fall short in regard to customer service. There are enough negative reviews with this plumber to justify avoiding and plenty of other 5 star plumbers in the South Bay to go with instead.

Backstory:
I discovered a slow leak coming from under my sink that was going on long enough to cause some mold growth. I hired the first plumber that popped up on yelp without much research. 5 star average so what could go wrong?

So the plumber determines the leak to be coming from the angle stops and recommends a $300 replacement. This is pricier than average based on my past experience but i accepted it based on the necessity stop the leak immediately.  After replacement, he notices that the AC condensation tube hooked up to the drain is also leaking and offers to fix it, which I accepted.

Weeks later in the midst of professional mold remediation, I notice the same condensation tube leaking again. While it was obvious to me that it was improperly connected, I reached back out to sals to ask if someone could take a look. The receptionist I spoke with was very kind and explained that this kind of fix would come at another cost because it is outside of their 30 day policy. While I acknowledged I was just outside of 30 days, I still asked if they could consider this an exception based on the fact that it was improperly connected by their plumber. While speaking to the receptionist, some guy abruptly interrupts the call on speakerphone, without any introduction, who I can only assume was the manager/owner. With a rude and angry tone, this guy immediately deflects any ounce of accountability and blames the leak on the mold remediation process. As someone observing the process, it was obvious to me this wasn't the cause. Eventually, he reluctantly offered to send someone out. I later decided not to take up the offer because I went with another reputable plumbing business in Torrance to install new piping altogether for a larger bathroom renovation. A bigger potential job sals lost out on. And they competently fixed the AC tube issue that sals couldn't get right.

The main point here is that they disregard the value of the customer. This business operates on volume and not quality of service. If your policy is strictly 30 days, stick to that and respectfully decline any request to fix a mistake made on your end if it doesn't make the 30 day cutoff. No need to give the customer prideful attitude because of a mistake on your end. What matters more than a mistake made is the humility at which you resolve it. If you're reading this review as a potential customer, keep that in mind if they choose to respond to this review with more deflection.

Called Sal's plumbing day before Thanksgiving due to an overflow toilet. The phone picked up after only two rings. The lady behind the phone was friendly and gave a quote as well as availability for dispatch time frame. She scheduled the appointment and told me the plumber will call w/an ETA when they are on their way. I got the call within the time frame and Martin the plumber came, was polite and courteous to wear a shoe cover before entering the house, checked out my toilet, got his tools and got the toilet to flush again within 10 minutes. He even told me what the problem was...due to lime sealed build up for old toilets and showed me the date the toilet was made. He gave options of installment and where I can get a new toilet. Martin was efficient, effective, and knowledgeable. Great service.

So I bit the $99 carrot dished up by the charlatans over at Mike Diamond.  After 5 minutes he gave up because the clog was past a Wye fitting and unreachable and told me he needed to rip out a tree and dig up part of my driveway for $2800 to install a proper clean out and a bunch of other gibberish.   Total bait and switch.    I told him to take a hike.   I called Sal's.  Marcus snaked the problem without a hitch using the same snaking equipment as MD.   Sal's saved me a bunch of money and overall hassle.

I was pleased with the work of Fidel. A leak started in the studio sometime after the earthquake on Sunday night. It was not discovered until about 4am the next morning. I spent the entire morning calling plumbers who did not return my calls or said they couldn't get to me for a few days. All of my calls were plumbers that were recommended to me. After enough of not getting any results I started looking on Yelp.

I found Sal's Plumbing, I read a few of the recent reviews and felt I would be in good hands. I called that morning and the Fidel showed up to work. He was 100% professional and up front showing us where the leak was from and was able to stop the drips.

We also knew there was possibly another problem he also opened up that area to advise us of what the problem was. Without me asking, he wrote a detailed receipt explaining all the work he had done. I am pleased with this company and I would definitely recommend them and use them again. Thank you.

If I could give a negative review to Sals plumbing, I would. I am reporting them to the state prosecutor's office & Better Business Department.

We recently had David S come fix a broken gas pipe (courtesy of the Gardner). He tried charging me 3900$ for a 800$ job, never gave me a copy of the invoice & when confronted with the possibility of court/fraud charges agreed to 1100$. The greatest part of all is that I have this all in text messages--written proof. When I called his boss and company owner, in order to obtain an invoice, the guy (said his name was Joe) shouted at me and was extremely inappropriate.

I suggest you either not deal with this company or get multiple opinions. They low ball you in order to obtain your business and then will come out at quadruple the price.

I had selected this company both because the yelp reviews are great & David S seemed very nice. Disappointed by their unprofessionalism. Just please beware!!!!

I received a call from the DWP that my office might have a leak somewhere. I called Sals and Nick came and found the problem right away. Our plumbing was a mess and a total repipe was needed. Nick was so knowledgeable, he worked so hard getting our plumbing complete in a timely matter so our business wouldn't suffer.  He even stayed after hours to get the job done.  I am so appreciative of Nick, good honest plumbers are hard to find. I will definitely recommend Sals Plumbing and most certainly call them when something goes wrong at any of the businesses I manage.

Thomas and Rodrigo came out to address a drainage issue in our bathroom. They are always friendly, easy to work with, and gave honest recommendations/estimates. Would call them again in the future!

Very dissapointed. I called for a quote to remove my old water heater tank and install the tankless heater I purchased from Home Depot. Sal's plumbing came out and quoted me $2,800 just to install and remove. I won't be choosing them

EDIT: In response to your passive aggressive response to my review. It IS fair that I let everyone know your quote because you quoted my brother $1,600-$1,800 for the SAME job. There was also quite a few other poor reviews you decided not to respond to, yet you chose to respond to mine.

If I could give this tech 0 I would! I called today because of some back up in my restrooms. The tech arrived and came to my door and stared at me as if he had no idea how to introduce himself or greet me, so I don't even know his name. It got worse from there. His attitude and conversation with me was condescending and short. Needless to say he did not stay long and did not do the job. Awful customer service and experience.

Called on a Saturday for a plugged kitchen sink drain.  Thomas came less than 2 hours after my call.  He was very courteous and efficient and cleared the drain within a few minutes of arrival.  Would use them again.

I'm a woman of a certain age and new at living alone.  So I panicked when I woke up and realized I had no hot water.   I called Sal's and they sent David to my house within a few hours.  I was so relieved to find that it was only the pilot light out in my water heater.  David was friendly and professional.  I was so grateful for the quick response and David's wonderful demeanor.  No one tried  ripped me off on the contrary it was only $45.00.  I recommend Sal's wholeheartedly!

Recently, my in-home garbage disposal went south and stopped working.  Based on great reviews, I decided to contact Sal's Plumbing.  After a few messenger texts, I agreed to have them supply the disposal and the installation.

When the installer came out, he was courteous and professional.  Getting to the electrical plug for the disposal was a bit challenging, but he handled it like a pro and got the installation done.  What I was quoted, is what I paid, no up-sell or surprises.

I won't hesitate in using these guys in the future for my plumbing needs.

I had a toilet repaired this week and Dave did an excellent job installing it.  I thought I had the right parts needed for the repair, but when I did not, Dave had everything I needed on his truck. The customer service from my first phone call to the end of the appointment was excellent. They were available for the repair the next day, and they were able to give me a 2 hr delivery window so I would not be waiting all day. I'll definitely use them again!

Luis SAVED us ! We had what can only be described as a plumbing emergency as we were packing our car to leave on a 4 day vacation. There was water flowing down the driveway, and water covering the downstairs bathroom floor. We called our usual plumber who said they could come out tomorrow. This was not a come out tomorrow kind of problem. We checked reviews of local plumbing companies and took a chance on Sal's Plumbing Company. Boy, are we glad we did !!! Luis was there, (in a mask!) within an hour and a half. He showed us where our sewer line had collapsed, 50+ feet down our driveway. Luis explained everything to us, and he said he would take care of everything. Before we left, he gave us an accurate quote. He communicated with our house sitter and our elderly neighbors, as a portion of their driveway had to be dug up as well. He sent us videos and texts regarding their progress. He even hooked up a bypass pipe, so that our house sitter would have access to the bathroom and shower while the work was being done. When we returned 4 days later, the entire site was spotless. The sewer pipes all had new liners. Luis returned to show me with a camera, exactly had been done. Excellent work, We will only be calling Sal's Plumbing from now on!

I had a leak in my kitchen sink and Sal's Plumbing was able to have Thomas come out right away on a Sunday night. Thomas was reliable, polite and honest about the job and was able to stop the leak immediately.

He was also willing to take on an extra request to replace our garbage disposal as well.

I would definitely hire Sal's Plumbing in the future.

We've used Sal's Plumbing years ago and had a good experience.

Fernando arrived this morning to help us with a leaking problem. He arrived early and was very friendly and polite as he tried to provide information on the problem and answer all our questions. We eventually decided we needed a leak detection company as the leak is very small and slow. We appreciate that Sal's is available by phone at all hours and that we were able to set an appointment Sunday night after 10 p.m. for an appointment the next morning at 8 a.m.

I live in a townhouse with the garage on the first level.  A leak in the garage ceiling, so I called Sal's.  Called around 9am and they promised someone will be here at 12 to 2pm.  They arrived on time, professional, friendly. -- satisfied.

Start time:  around 12pm
Leak found very quickly.  Left for parts and came back to fix the leak.  (15 minutes to find the leak, 30 minutes to go buy parts, 45 minutes to fix with new pipe).  
Cost:  $650  -- not sure about the cost, but satisfied.

When he tried to start the water, said our valve was old and it needed to be replaced, or he can't start the water.  Would have felt a little better if he told me when he turned off the water...
1 hour to go buy/get parts,  30 minutes to go get the tool to turn of the main water, 30 minutes later, told a commercial tool is needed and can't turn off the main water and it's locked in the shop and the boss is not available.  Asked if I wanted to leave the water open with the risk of not being able to turn off the water if any emergency, or to call another co-worker to fit the new valve without turning off the main water.  Co-worker shows up about 30 minutes later....guy left and seems to be back with the commercial tool to turn off the water....30 minutes after the tool arrives, finished.
Cost:  $750  -- at least I have water now...

End time:  around 6pm
Total bill:  $1,400 and a long day -- but I have water.    

Is the price I paid, the market price?   Or did I just get ripped?  Not sure.

I still need to get the ceiling patched from original leak.....
Can anyone recommend a good contractor for drywall?

It's 8pm on a Monday night and nastiness starts bubbling up the tub drain.  Who you gonna call?

Well I called a bunch of plumbers and Sal's was the most accommodating and fastest to respond.  They sent over Nick who quickly diagnosed the problem and squeezed me into their work schedule the very next day.  He was so honest in laying out my options and what to expect that I felt very comfortable with hiring Sal's Plumbing for a major job.

I ended up replacing the entire sewer drain line and main to the city line (ouch!).  But Nick gave me constant updates and there were no surprise fees along the way.

Sal's Plumbing does A+ work at a very fair price.  They are reliable, CLEAN, work fast and they back everything up with updates and photos.  I HIGHLY recommend them and make sure you ask for Nick

Sal's plumbing deserves 5 stars just for showing up on a Sunday!

Ok....so I called 2 other places that said emergency plumbing that I had used before.  Both places said we don't have anyone that can come out. So I looked on Yelp and called Sal's because 100+ reviews  said 5 stars.

The lady on the phone couldn't have been nicer. I had to hang up on her because I had called the water company to say it was an emergency and all of a sudden, the fire dept. showed up!

The fire department fixed the immediate problem, but now there was another problem. I called back and the same lady said that a plumber could be there in 30 minutes. As promised, he showed up within 30 minutes.

Mario was very nice, gave a quote, and said he could fix the problem right away. He did have to leave to buy some parts but once he returned, it only took him about an hour to fix something that I thought was going to take half a day.

No plumber is cheap, especially on a Sunday. But if you need a plumber that you can count on to show up fast and do the job right, call Sal's!

Joey from Sal's plumbing came out to swap out my water heater in my garage. My water heater was 10 old and Joey inspected it and said it was time to swap it out and not safe to fix. He did a great job with installing the new one and he was very knowledgeable with all my questions about the installation, what needs to be done with the vent exhaust, and all the additions that needed to be done with it. He was very professional, courteous, and I would love to have him as our main plumber next time we call in. So if you're looking for a great plumber, ask for JOEY when you call Sal's plumbing  =)

We will definitely be referring Sals Plumbing company and make sure u ask for Thomas!

Clogged drain was resolved.
BUT
No mask. No shoe covering, there was no cover where he worked, so it was messy.  
After the snake job, he did not properly tighten the pipes and they leaked.
I had to call Sal's again.
Most of all....very rude and working process was not professional.

I had good experience with Sal's a few years ago so I called again but not this time. Their job and attitude to the customers is depends on the plumber...

We were washing dishes on Christmas day when the water in the downstairs bathtub reached the top.  I called a plumber the next day, initials begin with an M, and they could not send anyone until the following day.  

I called Sal's.  My first interaction to the end, was great.  Very professional.  The person who answered was professional, she gave me a window.  The plumber, Thomas, showed up well within the window.  He was another professional person.  Thomas told me what exactly he was going to do.  A great experience.  I will definitely be recommending Sal's and Thomas.

Be aware. This company overcharges and takes advantage of elderly seniors by charging way beyond the normal price. Wendy  the worker in Sal's office refused to allow me to contact the owner regarding the overcharges. $ 350.00 to change out a kitchen basket strainer!
$950.00 to place a earthquake valve on my gas meter.
Wendy replied because you agreed to the high price the charges were acceptable?  Seniors beware or this company who takes advantage of seniors especially Enrique the Plummer who set me up.

Had to call Sal's Plumbing again to fix my clogged kitchen sink. Great to see Luis A. again. Turned out that snaking would not fix the problem this time and he had to remove the corroded pipe, accessing it from the exterior. He did a great job locating the pipe and did minimal stucco removal. Luis also replaced the kitchen faucet that was no longer swiveling with a new one. Thank you, Luis, for another job well done!

Joe is not telling the truth at all they never started digging they just CLEANED  a 4 inch diameter around the meter that is all, I will ask someone to put the pictures of their job. As far as my calling his workers and saying profanities this is not TRUE.  I was upset that he was not returning my calls after he agreed the day before that he was not going to charge our credit card,  the first girl that I talked to said that morning that he was going to come back in a few minutes and it took him almost 6 hours to respond and hung up on me.  Please read other reviews. I will also like to inform you that I am a psychologist, builder, Realtor and a land developer in Pasadena Tx  I went to diff. Universities. I WILL POST PICTURES NEXT TIME. The work will be done for $$1.450 plus $250 permit. This man was charging us $5.000 plus $500 permit.

I had an emergency call with Sal's and John came by initially found that my recently moved out tenants left me a surprise causing all sorts of damage (tenant, not plumbers). He promptly removed the clog showing me what got stuck down the line. After patching stuff up it seems that part of the clog moved down the line so I called Sal's plumbing back (a few days later). They said John had left the company, but promptly sent Joey to follow up. He spent a good amount of time tracing the big problem and lots of work and they honored their warranty. He did an awesome job, thanks Joey!

Adulting is rough especially when you are homeowner. Our 20 year old kitchen drain stopped working yesterday morning. Luis came like literally 30 minutes after we called early in the morning. Diagnosis was rough because the blockage was so severe. We ended up having to replace the entire drain.
Our kitchen is on the second floor. We had to rip out drywall in the downstairs bathroom and replace the pipes. We were shocked by the condition our pipes were in and knew we had made the right decision by deciding to replace it all.
Overall it's been rough two days. But I am sure it would have been harder if it wasn't for Luis and his amazing team. Luis is meticulous, professional, and a man of his words. He made sure both my husband and I were comfortable going through this process. He also made sure that after his work was done, all the work areas were left clean, like he promised. I am glad we were able to take care of this whole pipe ordeal in two days thanks to the quick action and recommendations.

BTW I am not sure which business page to post so I am posting to both pages! Thanks!!

Came home to a leak under the kitchen sink. Kitchen cabinet floor sopping wet. Receptionist on the phone was very courteous and responsive. Was able to take my Friday afternoon call without hesitation. Leo and Rodrigues (i think) came within an hour, both friendly. Immediately diagnosed the problem and replaced what was broken. Decently priced? I'll never know, I have no plumbing background. But the service was fast and uncomplicated. Felt it was worth the price. Will definitely call if needed plumbing services again.

I had a toilet that was leaking water from the tank and a bath tub faucet that had cracked. Gaspar came out, did a quick assessment and advised me on the specs of the replacement toilet and faucet I needed to pick up. He also gave me a fair price quote. A week later I called back and he was able to come out the next day to do a quick and painless install. He even hauled away the old toilet. I found Gaspar to be very professional and respectful, using shoe coverings in my home and wearing a mask. I would definitely turn to Sal's Plumbing again in the future thanks to employees like Gaspar.

Found these guys on Angie's List. They came out, snaked two toilets, which was fine. Then they put a camera down and showed us roots growing in our pipes connecting to the sewer lines, and quoted us huge money to fix. Long story short, we got other plumbers out to give us a second opinion, and these guys were basically just scamming us. DO NOT TRUST THEM. Not trustworthy. Trying to take thousands of dollars off of us for no benefit. Shady.

11/30/2022 - Updated review from 2nd service.

I called Sal's yesterday to request that my storm drain be hydrojetted again. They offered to do the work the following day (today) however, they quoted a 50% higher fee than last time which was actually less than 2 years ago (3/9/2020). Given that this is a repeat job and is ridiculously easy I was disappointed that the service cost had risen by 50% to $750.

They arrived on time at 12 noon and had the proper equipment however, when I was discussing cleaning 2 very short (less than 25 ft) drain runs in the back, Nick the supervisor quoted me $1200 for the job!! An additional $450 above the already 50% higher charge for the main storm drain cleaning. His attitude was poor at best - telling me You can get other quotes knowing full well that his quote was ridiculous and capricious. I told him that I would skip cleaning the 2 additional short runs and then he told me that he was no longer interested in doing any work!! I said that I was willing to pay the $750 for the main drains as quoted by the office and after a moment he reconsidered and decided to do the primary job for which I had requested service.

After they filled the hydrojet water tank from my hose (which took 20 minutes) they proceeded to the alley to clean the main storm drains. Nick divided his attention from watching the World Cup soccer matches on his phone, running the hydroket machine and directing his 2 helpers.

The machine ran out of water before the 2nd storm drain had been completely cleaned and Nick declared that it was good enough. The time was about 1:10 pm - 70 minutes after they arrived.

He returned to my house, ran water from my hose down one drain and confirmed that water was running out of the storm drain with one of his helpers. The drains were never fully clogged - so hose water ran through without trouble before the cleaning and proved little after the cleaning.

He then presented the bill and I paid it.

That was $750 for exactly 40 minutes of actual work which translates to a rate of $1125/hr!!  I understand inflation but this was usury and inconsiderate given the simplicity of the job that he had performed less than 2 years ago.

To say that I was disappointed would be an understatement. I called his company again for repeat business given the good experience I had with Nick for the last cleaning. Now, I felt disrespected and abused. Today, I had little choice but to allow him to perform the service when they arrived since it had already been scheduled and it was due to rain tomorrow. I had not expected to be made to feel like I was bothering him and interrupting his ability to watch the world cup.

On my review for their service on 3/9/2020 I rated Sal's 5 stars and applauded their professionalism and service. Nick did the previous job but today he was gruff and it was not the same effort or professionalism that I experienced the first time and I was left to feel taken advantage of and abused.

I will not call them again for service nor will I recommend them to anyone else.

I called Sal's Plumbing with a number of clogs & slow drains. The last time I needed a plumber, I called the company that had been my regular and never got through. Found out later they'd just been sold. So this time I checked reviews and discovered Sal's Plumbing. The person I spoke to on the phone was knowledgeable and helpful and set me up just hours later (Saturday!), and Thomas O. showed up right on time. He quickly diagnosed and took care of all the problems, cleaned up (with his own spray!), and the price was good. He's also friendly and personable and had a lot of good advice re warding off drain problems. I'm thrilled with my new plumbing company. :)

My toilets, shower, bath tab, kitchen sinks, all got water backed up, my house main drain line stuck last night. So I used Yelp to search Sal's Plumbing.
Called them on 6:30 am this morning, a lady took my note carefully and told me their service professional will be my house between 9:00 to 11:00.
I was very happy to have Gus coming to my house on 8:30 am, Gus pulled his heavy duty drain cleaner to solved my stuck drain line immediately finished before 9:00 am. I was also worry about they might charge me a lot, however Gus called Joe to report what he completed and even asked a discount for me! Thank you guys!   5 stars is not even enough to grade! People in Sal's Plumbing is nice people like you and me, they understand how to do the right job. Definitely recommended!

No doubt, plumbing issues aren't any fun -- but when you need a good plumber call Sal's. Both my tub and my toilet were backed up. Pedro came by quickly and assessed the problem. Turns out I needed to have 8 feet of my sewer main lined replaced. The roots had taken over the pipe. Pedro was able to fix the problem, all in a day's work, and replaced the damaged clay pipe with new ABS. He even showed us the camera view of the pipes so we could see where the roots were coming in. Plus, he was friendly and efficient. Thanks Pedro and Sal's for coming to the rescue.

We called on a Sunday at 9 and they were here by 10 which is an hour quicker than they had initially quoted. The plumber was friendly and clean and did a quick and thorough job. Highly recommended and we will be using Sals again!

Sal's Plumbing to the rescue again.  One of our toilets was stopped up and we needed help. Called just before 5 PM Wed night and received an appointment the next morning. Pedro was the man sent, he was friendly, on time and did an outstanding job clearing roots out of our sewer line.  We over the years have used Sal's Plumbing and every visit has been an excellent one.  I will give Sal's Plumbing 5 stars with joy but in my opinion they warrant more. So I will give 5 starts for the yelp rating and 5 billion stars for the service I received today!!!!!!!!

Wow.....a great experience w a plumber! I've spent a good deal of timing in search of a good and honest plumber when issues arise and finally found one.

I bought a new washer/dryer and the installation team told me they couldn't install due to bad hot/cold water valves. Sal's had Mark stop by the very next day first thing in the AM. He let me know that while the valves had aged some, they didn't need to be replaced but did need a bit of tightening up. He was super quick and didn't try to oversell on the services.

Sal's plumbing is truly amazing! I have used them a total of 4 times now (all for different reasons).
1- garbage disposal problems
2- replaced our hot water heater
3- fixed a leaking pipe
4- fixed a clogged bathtub

Every time I've called they are quick to come out, professional & friendly, and offer great rates. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this company! Normally I'm not one to write reviews but Sal's has definitely earned it! I would recommend them to anyone who needs a plumber.

I had a sewer issue and I called Sal's and spoke with Joe. He said Nick was his specialist and he would send him out in the morning to take a look. Nick showed up on time the next morning and took the time to explain what was going on and my options. In the end they did a professional job and Nick went above and beyond to do a great job. Highly recommend!  Hard to find honest guys. I would use them again in a heartbeat for all my plumbing needs.

When I first called this company for an emergency, I was pleased that someone came out quickly and took care of it. The employee was friendly and seemed to know what to do. I then hired him to repair my sprinkler system.  Big mistake there.  He replaced the spigots with new ones that for some reason had to be glued on. I was not able to try them out after he was done because I was told they needed to dry. So after waiting a week, I tried them. The water shot out the wrong way out of the spigot. So we called him back. He repaired it again. But then it repeated the problem. He came back out yet again and repaired it.  Unfortunately it too was shortlived. It seems that his work does not stay fixed.  And water leaks from it yet again. I eventually got someone else to do the work.  The other company told me that Sal's Plumbing should have replaced the plastic piping and put most of it underground. The glue job was just not right. They then changed out the spigots and put in auto sprinkler parts instead which eliminated the leaking problem. I ended up being out a few hundred bucks from Sal's on top of the additional expense of the second company repair.  Recommendation: Don't  hire them for sprinkler work.

I recently used Sal's for service on my water heater. From the moment I called to schedule an appointment they were professional and courteous. The technician, Joey, arrived on time, knowledgeable and took his time to explain the issue and necessary repairs. I've already  saved their number for future service. I would definitely recommend this company to friends and family. Thanks again!

Another company came out yesterday and could not clear the clog. Then, he quoted that I need to replace the pipe.

Thomas was the man! He came out to my house at 8 pm today and explained what was going on with the clog that I was experiencing. Then, he cabled the line and the pipe is now cleared.

Only thing I can say is thank you Thomas and I am so satisfied.

I am not writing a review about completed work, but about communication and professionalism.

I emailed several plumbers at the same time for a project and Sal's was quick to respond, review my detailed request, and let me know that my job was not in their wheelhouse. As it turns out, I need a contractor to coordinate some other issues. After a couple of days of waiting for the others to return calls, answer emails, or provide estimates, it's nice to know there are professionals out there who will respond and give you a straight answer.

Spoke to Joe the owner.  He declined to install a water heater because he didn't want to provide a certificate of insurance for the job after I had already purchased the product.  Totally left me hanging with a product and a job that I needed to be completed asap.  When I tried to explain over the phone how disappointed I was by the poor customer service experience I had, he repeatedly cut me off, wouldn't let me explain and then hung up on me.  I was a repeat customer.  We had a great experience in the past.  Not sure why he made this a personal issue.
Not sure why he'd decline repeat business without making sure he understood the scope of work.  Super disappointed.

I used Sal's plumbing to repair a gas leak.  They called back within an hour and were able to give me a quote later that day.   They showed up on time and were able to fix the leak for a fair price.  That's all you can ask for.  I would use them again.

A tale of two companies.  

The first time I called Sal I had Luis and Alonzo come to my house to assess brown water coming out of my kitchen sink.  After they came to my house, they determined it was just a dirty filter and cleaned it out and didn't charge me.  This was great service and I wanted to use them again.  They could have easily charged my for their time.  

The second time they came, i thought I had a leaky pipe in the house.  The representative came out to my house and was nice,but realized he had brought out the wrong equipment to assess the situation even though it was clear that it was for a leaky pipe.  He told me that he would come back again with the right equipment.  He came back and brought a device to listen for any leaks.  Probably took 5 minutes for him to use it.  He found that there was no issue and then said I will need to charge you close to $275 for this service.  I was shocked because there was no expectation that an assessment was going to be that much and i did not agree to that estimate beforehand. I felt swindled.  I begrudgingly paid for it sine i had to leave the house and didn't have the time to debate.

So I had to call them again for another drain blockage.  It was unrelated to the other recent call.  Thomas helped us again, he is super communicative and got the drains flowing again pretty quickly.  They where here very quickly, like 2 hours and on MLK day.

Keeping these guys in my phone book.

Our toilets and bathtubs were backing into our house the Friday before Father's Day.  We called Sal's Plumbing and Nick came to our house to do the inspection. He found that the tree roots were clogging our main sewage system. Nick was very helpful and he explained everything that was wrong with our plumbing. He felt bad that we had to wait until Monday to get the job done but when Monday came he was at our house first thing in the morning working on the pipes. There was a heat wave on Monday and Tuesday but Nick came early and stayed late to make sure the job was done. Nick made it a point to keep us updated with all the cracks and damage that the tree roots did. he gave us scenarios on different routes we could take to take care of the issue and wasn't trying to swindle us like other plumbers have in the past to make us go the expensive route. He was cautioning us what would happen if we would do a bandage fix and we got a second opinion to confirm what he said was true. We're glad we went forward with the major construction and to have the peace of mind nothing would bite us in the butt again. When all the work was finished Nick took the camera to show us that the clog was cleared and he showed us on the camera to assure us it wasn't a recording he was showing of a cleared pipe lol! Thank you Nick and Sal's plumbing I wish we can give you 10 stars if we could but for sure your company will be referred to my friends family n coworkers!

Water was leaking in my garage and flooding my neighbors condo garage and bathroom. They sent 2 technicians out. No one could detect the leak and they forgot to bring equipment with them to the job site so I had to wait an additional hour.  Then they suggested I tear apart all of my kitchen and the walls connecting to my neighbors unit to hopefully find the leak but they weren't sure if that would even work. I was then told I would maybe be given a report within the week even though I had a plumber coming the next day. Unbelievably horrible service.

Absolutely terrible. Some plumber guy named Fidel arrives to the scene the following day around appointment time, which bracket was so vast, 10:00-2:00, and identifies the problem, which was a leaking faucet. He charged 88$ for an estimate... what a JOKE! Then proceeded to estimate a 400$ service fee to install a faucet. (He said he needed to remove and reinstall all new pipes with the insinkerator and drainage system, that he couldn't reach all the way in to install the faucet). True, but it's not difficult to remove the insinkerator at all! 400$ for this?! No way. I'm doing it myself. One thing he did that was nice for me though was fix my bathroom faucet. The filter ring at the end of the faucet was mineralized, and he helped remove it off and clean it, which took 1 minute.

I bought my own faucet on amazon, and with the help of trusty Home Depot employees, they guided me in learning vocabulary to identify what parts I needed for success! I spent less than 30$ in equipment costs and spent 2 hours total fixing it with a buddie of mine who had no experience plumbing either.

Look for Gloria In Home Depot for the plumbing section! She will help you out much more than these goons, trying to jip you of your money.

Plus, it was kind of fun learning it all and gaining the confidence to look under janky future sinks with a gleaming hope.

I have used Sal's a number of times, from a major sewage break to minor issues. The last time was just last week when I found my basement ( yes,I have a basement) totally soaked from a leak in a pipe. My house is circa 1923 so plumbing is always an issue. I called joe on a Sat and he said he would have someone there by 5 pm....it was 3:15. Nick was here at 4pm. He was polite, funny, and fixed it enough that we had water for the week-end. He said the whole thing needed to be repiped. The price was fair, but after discussing it with my daughter we decided it was just too much right now. I called Nick and asked him what the least we could do to keep us safe until our funds were a little better. He was so great about it and pointed out five spots that really can't wait, but said we can let the rest go for a couple of months.  I never felt pressured and loved the fact that they are so willing to work with me. Thanks, Sal's, it's so important to trust the people you do business with!

Thomas came to our house due to us having blocked drains and water backing up in our bathrooms. He was very quick to clear the blockage and then set to work diagnosing the problem. With the snake camera he was able to diagnose that roots had penetrated and broken our clay pipes. He was quick to discuss the options and we followed his advice. When we agreed on the solution he was quick to give us a quote, draft a contract and agree a start date, which was in 2 days time. He arrived with his team, they were hard working, tidy and fast. Within two days they'd dug two holes (one 7.5ft deep)  and one 4ft deep. On day three he brought with him the replacement thick flexible plastic pipe and the team slowly pulled the replacement pipe through replacing the old clay one. See photos. They removed several trees and bushes and the roots and tidied them up nicely for us to dispose of. We now have a new pipe that's got a warranty on the pipe, parts and the workmanship. Thanks Thomas and team. .

Our main line was clogged. Joey came on a Sunday within the time frame that we were given when we called earlier in the day. He cleared the main line, requiring 65 feet of snake, within fifteen minutes. We were charged less than our previous plumbers would have charged for the same job.

We have made Sal's our plumbers since we had concerns about our previous plumbers years ago. Every plumber that Sal's has sent to us has been friendly, honest, and efficient; and we have no worries at all about paying too much.

We are living in a rental with really bad plumping and we've had to call Sal's a few times. If you call the number, it's really easy to book an appointment. The guys that come out are super nice and good at what they do. They are moderately priced and they offer a guarantee on a lot of the work they do. Even though they aren't the cheapest, all of their work has lasted so I think it's been worth the price. Our rental is bad because of really cheap past plumbing work so you absolutely do get what you pay for when it comes to this kind of stuff. 100% recommend!

My experience with Sal's Plumbing over the past week has been as fantastic as it could be, considering my kitchen sink completely backed up and I had family visiting. I called them and explained the situation over the phone. Within an hour or so, Sal's was at my door. The plumber was wearing a company uniform, courteous and came prepared to work.

He snaked my kitchen drain but was unable to clear it as the blockage was way down towards the main sewer line. We went into my garage and found the cleanout for the line and he proceeded to open it up. He used a shopvac to make sure no water escaped the pipe as he opened it and did a great job to keep my garage clean. From that point he deployed a snake down into the sewer line, and then high pressure water. Unfortunately as he reeled back in the water line it hooked on an edge and he determined that a joint under the concrete had separated and dirt was coming into the pipe. He deployed a camera and meticulously showed me the live feed as he went along the pipe. Unfortunately the pipe had separated and the job just got a whole lot bigger.

He quoted me a very fair price to come back with another helper and open up the concrete to expose and replace the damaged pipe. I agreed to the price and the next day he came back to get the job done.

The first thing they did was cover everything in my garage with plastic tarps. They cut and then jackhammered the concrete in about a 2x2 ft area They dug out around the pipe and then took out the damaged section. They took care to show me what was going on every step of the way. They jumped into the hole and then deployed the snake and the high pressure water system all the way out to the main sewer line just to make sure everything was clear. They replaced the damaged pipe, filled back in the dirt and then mixed, poured and smoothed out new concrete. They cleaned up everything else so well, you would never know anyone had been in my garage to do that kind of work.

I am back and able to cook and clean in my kitchen now. No one wants these kind of issues to happen but Sal's did a great job at a fair price and kept me in the loop every step of the way.

We had Sal's Plumbing come out run a sewer liner and they did a great job. Joe was great to work with and Mario and his crew were fast and efficient. While they were here they were able to find the source of an additional issue we were having that another company could not fix and then replaced the drain pipes under our house. They have great customer service and I feel that I can call them anytime and get the job done right. Thanks Joe and team!

I used Sal to repair an underground leak.  They were prompt and did an efficient job repairing it in one day.  They were professional and tidy.  They gave me a fairly good rate on the job.  The replacement concrete they put in was a bit rough and uneven, but it's understandable that is not their specialty.

UPDATE May 2013: My initial review was from Feb 2013.  As mentioned above, they repaired a leak under the concrete slab of my home.  However, in May 2013, the leak came back.  Luckily for us, we had not had a chance to replace the tiles, so the water came up the patched concrete that Sal's plumbing laid out, allowing us to catch it early.  So why am I upping their review from 4 stars to 5 stars if we encountered a problem?  Well, even though we were unhappy that the leak wasn't properly fixed the first time, we are elated that Sal's plumbing is a stand up company that will guarantee their work.  They properly repaired the same leak (this time by replacing a section of the pipe) under this guarantee.  I now feel confident that it will not leak again, and will be replacing the floor tiles soon.
