Solid Plumbing & Drains

Loved that they showed up in masks ... for estimate. Especially loved that electrician & plumber worked in tandem to install my tankless electric water heater and maintained telephone contact throughout the day as I was out of town.
They will be my #1 plumber from now on.

From the first moment I called Mario to have a new soft water system installed in our home to the moment when Frank and Angel left after completing the job, I felt like I was working with family. They were so kind, considerate, and professional. They did an incredible job!! I seriously almost hired someone off of Craigslist and I'm so thankful I didn't!! I would have missed the opportunity to get to know Frank, James, & Angel! They were an awesome team who knew what they were doing and did a great job doing it!! Thank you Solid Plumbing & Drains! I'm so happy I found your company!! :))

Outstanding service! Called first thing this morning (Thanksgiving Day) at 6:45 AM and they were here by 7:15 AM. Friendly, helpful, and quick to remedy our clog in the main line! Definitely will keep them on call and use again! Thank you so much!

I originally ranked these guys a 4 star review on google. The reason I didn't give a five star review was because they installed a shark bite system backwards without realizing it and their plan was to cut piping until they found out why after the repair I had no water pressure.

I called another plumber and they immediately told me Solids repair was done incorrectly (shark bite backwards) and quickly fixed it.  The other plumbing team didn't talk trash, they just simple fixed it.  

I called solid for a refund and Kristina was amazing about it and understood.  After my four star review Mario called me saying he didn't deserve a four star as I got my money back and it was unprofessional of the other plumbers to reuse the shark bite that was installed incorrectly.  I got the idea he wanted a five star review and gave it to him because I respected him and the reasoning.  He said he'd take care of me for future needs and I believed him.

Nearly a year later I decide I was ready to repipe my entire home. I call and get Kristina (who again, is wonderful).  She scheduled the appt and I got a time.  I didn't hear the time window so when I expected the plumber I called and was answered my Mario.

I wanted to verify he was the person I spoke with last year by asking if he was the owner and he said well that doesn't really matter

I brought up the incident so he'd remember me and his first response was well there's no proof we installed it backwards, but I remember you which I thought was oddly aggressive- especially since I was going back to him for a chance at a bid for a fairly large project.  I felt like I politely texted him about that and I get a call that the original plumber whom I did not trust was scheduled.  

Normally, that'd be fine. It's been a year, people make mistakes and we all learn. But between Mario's unreasonable aggression, me remembering I had to change a 4 star to a 5 star review and my poor original experience I decided to update all reviews as I told Mario I would do.

Real bummer. A year ago we ended on what I felt was good terms and today when I refreshed his memory (very politely) I got what I would say an unprofessional and untrustworthy experience from the owner who had my original respect.

The team at Solid Plumbing were great to work with. We needed a new kitchen sink connected and Frank was able to come out on a Sunday to help us out. Great customer service on the phone and in-person. Mario, the project manager, called the next day to make sure we had a positive experience. Fair prices, too.

Most excellent! Called Mario and was given a quick quote and they were able to schedule a team member, Emmanuel, to come out that day to do the repair. He was very forthright and honest explaining that the issue that was occurring in my home was 2 separate issues, but they worked with me on pricing. Emmanuel was quick and very thorough with his work, he let me know why he was need to change machines switching from kitchen to bathroom. Took photos of the damage and showed me exactly what was going on for an additional repair that would need to be done, and made to to provide an excellent description in the report so I could pass onto my landlord.

Honestly, I would recommend them again. Pricing, very affordable, staff are friendly and upbeat, respectful, and fairly punctual (as punctual as a plumber can be you know).  

Highly suggest you give them a shot!

I've had Mario and his crew come and fix several issues with my plumbing. Everytime, they are incredibly professional, on time, and transparent with their work.  

I'll use Solid Plumbing and Drains for my plumbing needs for years to come!

Best job from mario.
Quick response! i call Mario around 9am on 12/18/2019 and he was in my front door in 2 hours did a clean out in my kitchen pipe and in less than a hour my sink was up and running. Thank you Mario.
Definitely worth it and will recommend.. Joe

Toilet was leaking water at the base. Called them up and they had me in the schedule use first thing in the morning.

They did such a wonderful job and was very professional.

Turns out my toilet was cracked. So purchasing another one and having them install it.

Great service and I I'll let my friends know about them.

Once they found out our home insurance didn't cover what needed to be fixed they never called us to see if we wanted to pay out of pocket. I had to call 4 times to get an estimate, starting at 10 am made my last call at 415 pm. She said she would email an estimate by Friday morning even then the next available appointment wasn't until Monday. This business is not worth it and I'm going yo notify our insurance agency about the bad service as well. Guess they only want to milk insurance agencies for their money

Esteban and Joel did immaculate work. Fast and efficient! We needed to install sewer line access points to make removing future blockage a lot easier and effective. Took them a quick two days to excavate while removing a section of concrete (walkway), replace old cast iron piping with ABS, and then refill the trench and replace the concrete. Very clean work, not to mention the communication from them and their dispatch was top notch as well.

Our kitchen drain was clogged and he came out to handle the situation right away and was extremely professional. The problem was resolved quickly and efficiently. I chose to have them work on other issues such as my toilet running and leaking in two bathroom..they were very professional and would hire them for other plumbing issues in a heartbeat

I've had the privilege of working with Emmanuel on several issues ranging from a water heater replacement to sink leaks. Emmanuel is a problem-solving, solution-driven individual. He shows up with a smile and does his best work every time. He's a great communicator; he always articulates his thought process and solution clearly and concisely. It's obvious he cares about his work, the customer, and the integrity of Solid Plumbing and Drains INC. With people like Emmanuel on their team, Solid Plumbing and Drains INC is a great choice! Highly recommend!

If you're looking for a plumber, whether it be a small or large job, Mario is your guy for the job. Fast callback and quick to schedule you in that fits your needs. He is very knowledgeable, patient, thorough, neat in his work and all at a very reasonable price.

I will definetly be calling Mario at Solid Plumbing and Drains for any future plumbing needs.

Mario at solid plumbing & drains is awesome we had at mainline backing up and after calling plumbers the only one who answered was Mario , told him my issue and came out within the hour . Not only is he good at plumbing but knowledgeable in plumbing as well made the job looking easy definitely a pro . Will be using Mario for all my plumbing issues from now on.

In 2019 another sewer blockage discovered. After exposing main sewer line where kitchen, bathrooms and garage join, saw rusted and broken pipes. No repair possible as main line pipe to street kept crumbling. Needed to replace main line from house out to the street. Our house is 60 years old and cast iron pipes rusts.

We've lived in this neighborhood of Clairemont 50 years and frequently notice neighbors with plumbing problems. Our daughter will inherit this home in a few years and we don't want this kind of problems for her. Resolved to replace everything under the house.

September 2020 our next door neighbor called Solid Plumbing to clear her main sewer line blockage. Owner Mario Grespo came to inspect the repair and I was impressed by their work. Invited Mario to talk about our plumbing needs.

We showed Mario rusted pipes kept to show neighbors from last year. Pipes with external and internal rust, some collapsed. Pipes under the house likely no better.

Mario would jack hammer the slab two interior bedrooms and hallway removing all sewer pipes below the slab. The idea was to save the bathrooms.

After removing 4 feet of bedroom drywall saw more problems. Lots of them.

I became concerned about rusty toilet flanges, within the concrete, and rusty venting pipes. Asked Mario to replace both toilet flanges within the concrete. Both proved to be rusted.

With everything exposed, it was time to discuss other concerns. Replace shower pan I 'repaired' years ago. Replace both sink and bath tub drains with new hardware. What about new quarter turn shut off valves? Replace PVC with better ABS? Replace all venting. A total makeover.

We talked about my concerns for phase two. Mario didn't take notes. Discovered he is a great listener after Frank and James completed the work. They fixed everything! I do most of the work around this house, but not this job. Too big.

Frank taught me about plumbing, his background is on the service side. Do it once, no return calls his philosophy. He taught me PEX pipe is a better alternative.

Our original copper joints had flux left on them which can cause pin holes later. PEX is flexible and no flux needed. No flux needed so no pin holes. Modern homes use PEX. PEX is flexible and less likely puncture to a nail or screw. PEX is easier to install so less time. I want this plumbing repair to last longer than I will.

Mario and crew are trustworthy and friendly. They kept dust to a minimum sealing the rooms affected. They covered all floor areas with card board swept up every night.

These men know their craft and Mario arranges classes on new techniques and materials.

Frank and James staggered their work to provide a sink and toilet ever night with plenty of notice about water shut off. We didn't have to use a hotel!

Mario answered calls and texts promptly. Customer satisfaction his priority! I recommend Solid Plumbing & Drains to everybody.

excellent.  prompt, courteous, professional.  top notch.  we dealt with angel who provided the best repair experience ever.  so knowledgable, great problem solver and communicator.  wonderful young man.  we loved working with him.  very thoughtful as well. would highly recommend.

My kitchen sink had been clogged for a while. I sent a request, not knowing if I would get a response because of the self-quarantine. Mario responded quickly and set an appointment for the same day. Anthony arrived and was quick to find the issue with my sink. He walked me through everything he was going to do. He was able to diagnose the issue and fix it. My sink finally works again!

My plumber, Omed, was called over by the contractor for an old, broken, leaning-to-the-side, kitchen faucet sprayer.  He arrived quickly, expecting the part to already be on site.  It wasn't.  Omed rushes to a few Home Depots.  Turns out my 15 yr old faucet's sprayer would have to be a Custom Order or it's New Faucet time.  So, New Faucet Please!  I'm working from home, so I let him pick it out for me.  And make sure it's NOT ugly!
    Omed came back with a BEAUTIFUL, new and modern, high-arched, single hole faucet.  He put a matching soap dispenser in the leftover hole.  I am delighted!  With him, the service,.. the whole process.
   Thank you Security Plumbing & Drains!  Omed's professionalism and his willingness to go over and beyond makes him an exemplary representative of the company.  If I come across any new plumbing needs, I'll be sure to call Security Plumbing & Draining myself!

Finally found a reliable and responsible plumber! Called yesterday, wife had enough with broken kitchen faucet. They sent Frank out this morning, very polite and knowledgeable, he quickly installed new faucet. Wife is so happy! Its going to be a nice 3 day weekend!! Solid Plumbing, thank you, keep up the great work!!!

My almost deaf elderly in-laws needed a plumber do to a blocked toilet, and of course this happened on a Saturday. I jumped on Yelp and started calling around and discovered that most companies were not available until later that evening, it was around 12:30 pm when I started. I finally called Solid Plumbing & Drains and Mario answered his phone right away and was sure he could have someone out there in 2 hours. He stated that if they could make it sooner they would let us know, and sure enough they called and were able to arrive within an hour. Mario and his crew were unable to reach the obstruction with a snake and determined it was further down the line. Since there was not an exterior clean-out Mario had to remove the toilet and to clear the blockage. Solid Plumbing did a great job of clearing out the blockage, and replacing the toilet and cleaned up in a manner that left the bathroom cleaner than when they arrived. My Mother in-law who was working with Mario said that he was very kind and helpful, explained everything to her prior to doing the work and gave her a senior discount! Solid Plumbing & Drain is a wonderful company and treats their customers with the utmost respect. Communication also was excellent! DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL SOLID PLUMBING & DRAINS THEY WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!

I am 100% pleased with this company! I sent a message cause I had 2 showers that were clogged. Within 5 minutes of sending the message, Mario called me to set up a service appt for the next day. They came and so quickly my drains were unclogged. The 2 gentlemen that came were very friendly, professional, it was affordable and what I appreciated most was their precautions they took due to covid going on in our community.
Definitely recommend this company to anyone.

Amazing job. We were getting new vinyl flooring installed and Mario came to swap out our toilets for new ones. He noted our substandard construction (we bought the house new 20 years ago) and quickly replaced the flange where the toilet connects to the floor. I would highly recommend him.

Emmanuel came out to fix our slow kitchen sink. He was very professional and gave us good tips to keep it clear of build up. We are very happy with the work and fair price. Thank you. We will definitely be using their services again and will be recommending them to our family and friends.

My mother's toilet was leaking. She is elderly and has trouble with stairs  so using the upstairs bathroom was not really an option. I used Yelp to find get a quote and Mario from Solid Plumbing got in touch almost immediately. He was able to get a technician out ASAP. In less than 2hours the toilet was fixed. The technician Frank was friendly and knowledgeable. Will call them again when I need repairs with plumbing.

Showed up on time did a great job!!  Would highly recommend these guys to anyone!!!  Mario was very responsive and did great work

I want to give a huge thanks and recommend to others Solid Plumbing and Drains for the work they recently did at my business. We've had the same reoccurring plumbing problem which has been affecting my business for quite some time now. We've had three different plumbing companies come out and supposedly diagnose and repair the problem but within a week the problem came back, costing me a lot of money and downtime. When Solid Plumbing and Drains came to our business their plumber Mario was more professional than the previous companies, well dressed wearing a mask and covers for his boots, and not smelling like an ashtray like the previous company's technicians. Mario diagnosed the problem very quickly and after giving me a more fair price than the previous companies, fixed the problem without inconveniencing my business. It's now been four months and our plumbing problem has not reoccurred! I want to thank Mario personally for his professionalism and his quickness in accurately diagnosing and fixing our plumbing problem, and his company's professional demeanor. This is the only plumbing company I will use from now on on the future!

Called the office and had a tech at my house within a couple of hours to discuss the issue. His name was Steven. Within 30 minutes, we had a plan of attack for the next day.

Steven showed up with Omar the next day and began to jet my sewer main from the kitchen sink drain. I don't have an exterior cleanout so it made the job a little tougher. The piping had to be cut out to make the jetting easier. Steven and Omar worked together to get the jetting done running the high pressure line through the main several times working through a stubborn soft clog that was giving us issues. It was about 50 feet of main that was jetted without any issues.

After the jetting was done, Steven re-plumbed the p-trap and installed a studor vent. The old studor vent stopped functioning. The way Steven re-plumbed it gave us more room under the kitchen sink allowing for the insta-hot and reverse osmosis units more room to move around without hitting a pipe. The p-trap piping is much more compact now and looks much better too. The quality of the work was very clean.

After the job was done and he verified there were no leaks, Steven took the time to remove all debris and wiped the floor clean and wiped down the inside of the cabinet. He was great to work with and instilled confidence with his abilities to get the job done. I was impressed with Steven and would request him for the next time. Nice job Steven! Thank you!

Tania in the office confirmed Steven's arrival in the morning and was also very nice to work with. Very nice demeanor over the phone.

Working for a homebuilder, I have dealt with many tradespeople and so I've seen a lot of good along with the bad. This experience was a great one. I found Solid on Yelp and liked what I read about them. I am glad I called them.

Quality work & same day service was performed! Truly appreciate the fast response I received and how quickly the issue was fixed.  Thank you very much for your great service today! These guys absolutely live up to their name with solid work! I highly recommend them as I will definitely use them for any future needs.

Just bought a new house after a sordid escrow, and really needed to get quite a bit of plumbing taken care of. So far Solid Plumbing has been responsive, friendly and extremely professional. The technician sent out, Emmanuel, is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and always on time. Thank you and I'm looking forward to continuing service in the future with this company.

My AC unit was shutting down because the condensation pipes were getting backed up (connected to my downstairs bathroom sink) the sink was clogged. I needed some out here ASAP to fix it so my AC wouldn't shut down again. I was able to get something scheduled for the next day. Luckily, the nice scheduler knew I would have really liked someone to come out the same day and she was able to get someone here ASAP. Angel was really nice and able to get it unclogged in no time. He was great enough to answer all my questions and gave suggestions as well to help keep all the pipes unclogged, etc. I will definitely be calling them again and recommend.

While I tried to replace toilet hardware and guts I discovered a cracked tank and leaky valve. I was already half way through the job but didn't want to do a complete replace myself. I bought a new toilet and called. They dispatched Anthony within a few hours and in no time it was done - by a professional! Anthony was very professional and answered a bunch of other questions I had around the house. This company is my new got to for plumbing. Thanks!

I called Solid Plumbing with a landscape drainage problem and was able to get an appointment that same day.  Mario came out and went above and beyond doing all he could to fix our problem.  He was extremely professional and very personable.  I would highly recommend Solid Plumbing for any and all of your plumbing needs.  You won't regret it.

I had just purchased my home and my sink was leaking from below. The two workers ,Mario and Martin,responded to my request within five minutes on yelp and were at my home within ten minutes soon after in Otay Ranch. They showed up with extra masks and boots to protect my family from Co-vid19 and the floor from becoming dirty. Quickly assessed the issue and trouble shot where the leak was coming from. Explained to me the process and pricing before anything started. It was a great price, and they quickly got to work once I agreed. Both very professional and neat. Work was done fast so that way it didn't take anytime out of my day. I strongly recommend this company and their plumbers to any requesting great service and assistance with any issues. Best service recieved thus far from any plumbers. 10/10

Always on time and does a great job. Very friendly staff and are willing to answer all your questions.  I recommend their service 110%.

Mario and Angel came to do a repair for the townhouse we are selling. We needed it done with short notice in a timely manner. Mario sent someone to check it out right away and provided me a detailed and professional quote right away. Pricing was very reasonable. We went ahead and scheduled the project with them. Angel was on time , friendly, and most importantly professional. They were very honest and straightforward about the process! I know who to turn to for my plumbing needs!

We needed to replace both toilets in our house due to severe leaking that caused our water bill to skyrocket.  Solid Plumbing & Drains provided us a fair price for labor, toilet replacement AND unforeseen flange replacement.  The assigned technician (Angel) did a great job!  He was very diligent and respectful.  The owner, Mario, was always willing to talk about the job and pricing, etc.  Great customer service.  I highly recommend Solid Plumbing & Drains!!

Solid Plumbing went above and beyond to get our main sewer line replaced. They responded to our call and had someone here within 2 hours. Our main sewer line had collapsed, so we had no bathrooms. They got here about 3:00 and had us flushing by 5:30. They really went the extra mile to help us out!

We had a water leak in our front yard. Solid was contracted with our water/sewer insurance and came out immediately. They fixed the leak and recommended the city come out to fix another small leak. They arranged it for us and the city came out and fixed it the next day! I thought it would have taken weeks/months. Then, I heard a weird sound in our toilet and they came back out and put a new valve in. The toilet sounded weird after the plumbing/water turned back on and gives that large woosh sound. They didn't give me a hassle and they did not even charge us. I have had bad experiences with plumbers in the past and now I can say we have a great one to recommend. I didn't look at all the great ratings and now I see why they are rated so highly. Thank you for a great job and professionalism. Someone is finally training their employees right!

Day before yesterday I noticed my water heater was leaking some where, so checked it out . the leak wasn't coming from the inlet valvue or out. These folks were out at the house that day from our home warranties contacting them. Today after only one day, because it wasn't an emergecy the guys installing my water heater. The folks I have talked to have both been very respectful, letting me know all of the work that will be done completely, which I appreciated, cause tomorrow I have my first water heater replacement.( no not in xs) professionally I feel. So Thanks for the work well done

Solid plumbing and Drains are seriously hero's! I was out of town for the weekend and apparently a copper pipe burst in the middle of the night and I only found out about it in the morning after waking up to a barrage of texts from my downstairs tenant showing pics and videos of it essentially raining from the ceiling all throughout the house!
Yikes  

I was so stressed of the aftermath driving back to my home not having any idea of what had happened or what I was walking into and how I was going to deal with it all and my tenant! Luckily my tenant had called solid plumbing and drains after hours and they arrived immediately, found the issue  and being that they couldn't get a hold of me they fixed it without worrying about pay or anything. My tenant had assured them when I get back I'll take care of any costs (and of course I did). I appreciated the neighborly love so much and the fact that I was planning on repiping the whole house in the coming months I just knew these were the guys I was going to call and did a week later! Couldn't be more happier with a company like theirs, they truly do right by there customer. Thank you so much Mario, Ron and Emanuel and all the other guys over at Solid. I'd recommend them 10 times over!!!!

Mario and the teams are the absolute best. We frequently use Solid Plumbing for plumbing needs after installing new floors. Communication could not be better. The professional service, great communication and competitive pricing make Mario and Solid Plumbing our GO TO resource for plumbing!! Thanks to ALL AT Solid Plumbing.

Solid plumbing is amazing! I have had the pleasure working with Mario on some plumbing repairs and it's paid off! Mario is very responsive and arrives fully prepared. I would recommend this company to all family and friends!

Mario and his Staff are truly unique always fast, friendly and very professional and ready. Thanks again for always being there when I call. Much continued growth
and keep up the good, work. 11/13/21

Happy Repeat Customer!
Quick response, good communication, and professional resolution of our plumbing issue,
Thank you, Angel...we appreciate your help!

The pool fill valve would not completely turn off.  We called Solid, and they had 2 techs at the house the next day.  They quickly diagnosed the issue and the fix.  Their price was reasonable compared to the local guy we've used.  They had the valve fixed that afternoon.

I highly recommend this company! They came out right away to assess my problem. They fixed our tankless water heater and answered all of my questions. They were extremely helpful and knowledgeable.

Called around when my front yard started showing signs of leak on a Sunday. Found these guys and they were great. Super professional and knowledgeable - willing to answer my questions thoroughly. They came onsite quickly, diagnosed my service line issue, and temporarily fixed the leak so I could get the water back on for Monday and figure out the repair/replacement situation/cost. They didn't overcharge me for the leak detection and temp fix, as compared to other companies I called. When I pulled the trigger on the repair job, they came back on a Sunday and did a great job, and were very competitive in their pricing. I would definitely call them again for any other plumping issues!

Mario helped me identify the root of my problem. They took their time to make sure I got an accurate diagnosis. And they were very reasonable with their prices. You can tell they aren't like other plumbers who try to nickel and dime you.

Emmanuel and Mario from Solid Plumbing and drains were pro's and got the Job done! We needed our restaurant drain unclogged this morning.They were the only company that understood the urgency of opening our restaurant back up. They actually reschedule and moved some of their residential appointments to fit us in this morning. Thank you so much

Solid Plumbing replaced the feeder valves for my clothes washer today.  A complicated job involving cutting into the wall board as well as the plumbing tasks.

Their prices were more than fair (I got 3 bids), they showed up at the scheduled time, and the work was truly outstanding.  They have earned all of my future plumbing work!

I feel sad that I am the first one to write a bad review but my experience with this company was extremely challenging.

I will say I was forced to use this company due to my home warranty's choice. But, nonetheless the company said they would take my work even though Mario reported being very busy already with other work from customers who were also using their home warranty for plumbing work. The first day a worker came over he did not properly turn off the water and we had a geyser in our front yard for about 3-4 minutes. Everything was soaked--it was a disaster. After that incident Mario called me and personally told me he wanted to review the work and would be over at my house the next day. The next day came and went with no call from Mario. I called Mario the next day and he ended up coming later that day. When he arrived he took a quick look at the work and told me he would submit something to my home warranty regarding the work that needed to be done. He said my home warranty would approve part of the work within a few hours given his past experiences with the company. I didn't hear back from Mario for a few days and decided to call him to follow up. He told me my home warranty wouldn't pay for the work and his hands were tied. This would have been nice to know as I was waiting to hear an update for days. I realize this company was dealing with a home warranty rather than the customer themselves but their customer service and follow up were so poor I will not sure them again, even if my home warranty will pay them to do the work.

Hot water tank started leaking overnight.  Called Mario and he picked up the phone immediately.  He and Frank were able to come check out the problem the same day and replaced the water tank so that the kids can have a hot shower that night.  Extremely responsive and kept me informed of the progress.  After the work was done, they left the area clean.  Mario and Frank were extremely friendly and answered all the questions that I had.  They also diagnosed an excessive water pressure problem and was able to return the next morning to take care of that also.  Reliable and great service, would definitely recommend them to anyone.

Mario and his team were great. We had a plumbing emergency and they came out quickly. They were professional and were reasonably priced..

Known Mario for years and I would not go anywhere else with my plumbing needs commercial or residential. His crew tackled a job no one else could and got it done clean and professionally. Very fast service was able to come same day. Don't look elsewhere there is a reason Solid has nothing but five star reviews !

Steven came out and helped us fix a cracked pipe behind our washer! He was super friendly, thorough, and explained the process of his work along with any questions we had! Great guy, great work!

As contractors go, dealing with Solid Plumbing & Drains was one of the most pleasant experiences I've ever had.  They were sent out by my insurance company, Service Line Warranty, after my shower, bathtub and toilet backed up and partially flooded my bathroom/master bedroom.  

At first, Mario recommended that the main drain at the front of the house be replaced, which would have required considerable digging and disturbing my brand new front yard landscaping.  Knowing I was concerned about possibly damaging my new house siding where they would have had to dig, Mario explained they could jet out the vents on my roof instead.  

After getting approval from Service Line Warranty, Mario and his two workers came back out and carefully performed the work without creating any mess or damaging my property.  

It's so refreshing to find a plumbing company that employs such considerate and capable workers and office staff.  Mario is a highly knowledgeable professional, and I will most definitely recommend and use his company going forward.

Excellent job by Mario and Emmanuel! They were here right away, got in and out quickly, and were 100% professional and courteous. Would highly recommend!

Angel, Miguel, Steve, Mario, and everyone at Solid are great!!

We've used them a few times through our American Home Shield contract.

Everyone is very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Quality work and very prompt/efficient.

Solid is our go-to plumber from now on.

Two huge thumbs up!

Solid plumbing and drains got contracted by my home warranty (AHS) to provide a water heater repair. They came on-site for 5 mins based on what I saw on my Ring camera took a quick look at my unit and they determined I needed a new water heater. AHS agreed to the request for a new unit and everything seemed like it was going in a great direction. However, Solid Plumbing and Drains did not notify AHS that I needed to pay $2,000 on out of pocket cost before they can even go through with the installation of my already approved water heater. It took 3 days to get an official report for the out of pocket cost which were the following- I did not have a expansion tank, I did not have a sediment trap, I had a gate valve and they don't touch those so I needed that replace with a ball valve (I did not have a gate valve), a vent that was crooked and needed to be properly fixed ( I told them I can do that)- those were the 4 items that came out to be $2,000 , that did not include the water heater unit price and did not include the installment.

All I have to say I took a $450 check from AHS and got my unit fix through someone else who doesn't nickel- and Dime people on todays economy

I needed a reliable plumber to fix my kitchen faucet and valves. Based on their excellent Yelp ratings, I called up Solid Plumbing & Drains. This was around 4 PM and was not sure I could get repair service that day.  I was pleased when informed, a plumber would be on the way as soon as possible.  Angel looked at the piping system, made suggestions and was given a competitive quote. The repair job was completed before dark.  I also called for additional repair service the following day; Mario and James came over and completed the repair work promptly.  Mario and his team are pleasant to work with, they are respectful and professionals. They did excellent work and I appreciate the service they performed. I highly recommend them.

I've been using Solid Plumbing for our tenants plumbing needs for the past year or two now, and they've been a life saver. They've helped us with kitchen sink clogs, broken garbage disposals, angle stop replacements, leaks, faucet replacements, hydro cleaning lines. You name it, they can help you. They have very friendly professionals like Steven who just helped me today with another jammed garage disposal and angle stop replacements in the kitchen and bathroom. The rest of the crew is friendly and brings a lot of experience with them. Don't hesitate to give them a call for your needs!

Hands down best plumbers in SD! They are so reliable and wonderful communicators. They get the job done right and fast. We have 6 vacation rentals in San Diego and they are our go-to. Highly recommend to anybody and always extremely happy with service!

We needed to move our washer and dryer to a different wall in our garage, which also meant moving all the pipes and negotiating them around the water heater. Frank came through and did the whole job in less than a day. He was not only friendly and professional, he did the job precisely how we envisioned it. I would definitely work with Solid Plumbing again!

We called this solid plumbing for the 2nd time after they did a great job for our kitchen drainage about 5 months ago. Emmanuel was patient to explain about the procedure and even cleaned up our backyard which he said they normally won't do the cleaning. I'm greatly appreciated of their dedicated services. Beyond that, we were pleased to get the military discount but you have to ask for it. Thank you and highly recommended to any of our friends and family to get this service.

Our toilet had flooded last night, so I took a min and called Solid plumbing & Drains, and man these guys are quick to answer, and fast at there jobs. Anybody need work , hit these guys up and they will hook you up immediately. They are very professional as in answering and speaking to you. Very affordable  price for anyone. Very recommended. Thank you guys so much.

The technician is very knowledgeable and respectful. Mario protected the area that he worked at and he left everything clean. Good customer service to.

Emmanuel made the experience an enjoyable one.
I  am 100% pleased with this company and their employee!
My garbage disposal went out on me last night and first thing in the morning I called and within the hour it was replaced.
Emmanuel was very professional, friendly, courteous, completed his task quickly and thoroughly, and even called management to ensure that I got a discount on their website! Before he entered my house he made sure I was comfortable and asked if i had any COVID precautions that he would need to take in order to complete the job.
10/10 would recommend.

Solid Plumbing & Drains was very responsive on the first day of request on Thumbtack. Got to the job site within a couple hours. Mario was friendly and experienced. After troubleshooting the ceiling pipe leak, he gave me the options to address the issues in my old house and recommended cutting away most of the lead closet bend to the cast iron hub replacing it with ABS. I had limited knowledge on plumbing but Mario was kind enough to explain it to me in layman's terms and gave me no pressure so I could make my decision. I think I asked him to repeat the whole situation three separate times and changed my decision right before they started on one option (sorry)! But he was really patient and explained it again.
Would totally recommend his work. He was also flexible with payment options and sending the invoice.

My whole house water system almost flooded the garage and needed service right away. Looked up some plumbers on yelp and found Solid Plumbing & Drains. Called Solid Plumbing & Drains late in the day thinking that it would be impossible to have someone come out to take a look. Mario picked up the phone while on another job and agreed to come out the same day to look at the problem. Found out that the water pressure was too high and my regulator needed to be replaced. I immediately scheduled an appointment for the next day. Mario and Anthony came out did the job quick and on time. They did an excellent job and their price was very fair. I even told my neighbor about Solid Plumbing & Drains and my neighbor had Mario and Anthony replace his regulator the same day. Excellent job guys! Next time I need anything done I know who to call.

The ceiling above my kitchen had water stains and paint damage.  Turned out there was a small puddle of water around the stop valve near the toilet in the master bath.  I'm a new homeowner and I had never experienced water damage.  I found this company on Yelp and called.  The owner, Mario, answered right away and was very patient with me and my naivete.  He was not only nice but confident about his knowledge.  He was able to come that same day.  So the stop valve was old and needed to be replaced which he did promptly.  He assured me that it was the cause of the leak.  He also connected me to a restoration company to fix the damages (Cutting Edge Restoration, Inc) which is another awesome company so far (I'll put a review for that later)
Mario was very communicative and I felt confident in his knowledge and work.  We will definitely use his company's service again.  Don't hesitate.

Called to get drained cleaned out.  They came within the hour. Emmual cleaned it out he was very professional, and cleaned up area. Very happy with service

I am an out of town owner and was fortunate to find this company. I have never had better communication with a service company. They followed up and updated me all along the way and gave me a fantastic price for the increased scope of the project. Mario is my go to plumber now. Try them first, you'll see what I mean. Ten stars **********

Mario and his team member did an awesome job handling my toilet drain issue. He was very patient and transparent throughout the entire process and cleaned up after everything. I had another plumber come and completely scare me with the issue I had, but Mario came and fixed it in 30 minutes after assessing over the phone. He was fast, efficient and super nice. I recommend him for all plumbing issues and will be calling him in the future with any other problems I may have. Thanks Mario!!

Excellent service and incredibly clean. I had the owner come out to my store to help with a back up and took care of it in no time. Very friendly and professional with the way they do business. It's worth the price without the headache. Ultimately if your looking for a reliable company that will leave your project cleaner than it was when they arrived then this is your plumbing company.

Mario and Martin came out to my house on time and ready to handle business. A plumber came out 2 days before and couldn't handle the job so I found Mario. They showed immediately found the problem fixed it and went above and beyond to make sure I was satisfied. With complete concern of the pandemic the had masks gloves and even boot covers. Very respectful honest and will be my go to for every plumbing issues from here on out. Thank you two for doing such a great job.

Sincerely,
Satisfied customer

I had a plumbing issue that was covered under my home warranty with American Home Shield. I'm always a bit apprehensive when calling AHS because sometimes the company they send to fix issues are not the greatest. This was not the case with Solid Plumbing. I received a call from the owner of Solid Plumbing shortly after I made the request through AHS, which was on a Sunday. I was surprised how fast they responded and they sent a plumber out a couple hours later. The plumber they sent (Mario) was extremely polite and professional and finished the job much quicker than I expected. What a relief! Hopefully I won't have any more plumbing issues, but if I do, I will definitely call Solid Plumbing!

Mario Crespo and his crew are legit. Professional, courteous, on time, and get a 5 star response rating.
I have had 6 crews come out in the last year to deal with repeated clogging issues.
(In fact one crew from another company just came out last week.) I told my insurance company. No more, you better send me your best crew!

And they did. Mario Crespo is a master plumber and has been doing this for quite some time.

Solid Drain Plumbing company is licensed but not only that-
they are legit enough to be considered my insurance company's GO TO GUY when they really need the situation dealt with.

Mario knew exactly what to do that 6 other company's could not do. He knew how to speak with my insurance company, demand for what needed to be fixed, and leave the job with us being able to use our facilities.

I now have a permanent fix. I'm sharing this company in my good neighbor app and handing out cards to all my neighbors.
