Best Businesses in California

Night before last I woke up @ 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and heard water running....no faucets open and toilet was not running.  I went downstairs and the noise was louder in the closet but no water in the house that I could see at 3 a.m. Turned the water off outside at the main valve and the water running sound stopped.  When it got light I looked at the meter to see if it was spinning and it wasn't moving which means it isn't an outside pipe break in the yard....WHEW!!  I then went to the room under the house where the hot water heater is and no water puddles or water leaks anywhere under the front part of the house....WHEW! I then turned the water valve on and went back up to the meter and it was moving but slowly.  I had to shut off the water to the house which was a complete bummer because I am 3 weeks post hip replacement surgery and NEED water. Yesterday I looked again in the closet where the loud water sound was and yep...when the water was on it had been seeping in on the closet wood floor and wall was wet.  I called Henry's Plumbing today, they came out this afternoon and :
Cut open the drywall in the downstairs bedroom closet.
Exposed pipe leak.
Found old corroded galvanized water pipe leaking in inaccessible area causing water damage to walls and floors.
Cut and removed old corroded cold water line.
Cap off and removed other old water lines.
Turned water on and flushed system.

I will definitely will call them again if I need them.  They are professional, polite and got the job done. Thank you Henry's Plumbing!

Thank you Eldridge and Sons for a quick job well done!

I had a backed up shower/tub drain and decided to go with Eldridge and Sons Plumbing since they were so close to my home and are family owned and run, which I like.  I called and within 30 minutes Keith arrived and quickly and professionally unclogged my main sewer line for a very reasonable price.  

I'm extremely satisfied with the service I got from Eldridge and Sons Plumbing and recommend this business.

Vince was great! Very knowledgeable and provided great information! Vince helped diagnose and fix a hot water problem in the shower. He ordered a unique part and installed in less than an hour once he received that part. I highly recommended!

Super helpful and resourceful sales staff. Place is small but packed with models and they can look up anything else on the catalog

We had a major kitchen sink issue on Thanksgiving morning and 24/7 sent us a great guy within 2 hours and the problem was solved then. Very reasonable rates and great and friendly service. Thank you

This was my second time using this company.  I cannot say enough good things about them. They showed up quickly and stayed until job was done. Work was done outside and even though they had to dig up part of yard, they put everything back and no evidence of problem. Titus was wonderfu.

When we recently developed a clogged kitchen sink just before the dinner hour, I called He-Man Plumbing based on the amazing Yelp reviews I found when trying to decide who to call. Mike Riley exceeded all my expectations. Despite the traffic hour, he arrived in less than 20 minutes, and well within his minimum one hour charge he had us back up and running. Emergency calls like this are his only business, he likes doing it (Everyone is happy to see me.), and he's friendly and efficient. I hope not to need him again, but he's on the top of my list if I ever do need this kind of service.

I have used J B Rooter a few times now. Jerry is very responsive and provides a reasonable estimate of the amount of work to be done and goes out of the way to get it done well and on time. He is smart to diagnose the problem well and takes the time to explain it to us clearly.

After every interaction with JB, I have come away feeling good about the diagnosis and 100% satisfied with the work.

I would use them again and recommend to anyone else.

Chico, was very professional and had great pricing.  Easy to work with. Will definitely reach out for next project

All aspects of the process were excellent.  I would recommend their services to anybody who needs plumbing assistance.

Very quick response even on the weekend. The plumber Baldomero is very professional. He fixed our clogged drain pipes quickly and explained the situation to us. Also kindly helped us inspect the pipes in the crawling space and spot a leaking issue left from the previous project.

Highly recommended! We got the referral from our neighbors for our water softener system and RO water system installation. First I tried to contact them via their website, and the response was very fast and efficient. They gave me a quote right away, and also some suggested brand/models of water softener we can purchase ourselves. On the installation date they showed up on time, explained patiently about the scope of work and some knowledge regarding our home water system. During the installation they patiently telling us what they're doing, what's that for, etc, made us feel very confident about the work. We also installed RO system & fridge ice maker pipe, everything went really well, as they know exactly what they're doing. After the job was done they cleaned everything up, made the house back to exactly it's like (except you have some new water systems installed lol). It's a very professional service experience and I highly recommend to everyone who need plumbing services.

Great service!  Very reliable.  Reasonable prices.  I've used Jim Gullo for every plumbing problem that I've had, and I will continue using him.  He's the best!

Michael was very courteous. Fixed the leak I had under my mobile home in 30 minutes. Great job.

I bought a toilet from Lowe's and they contracted with Handy to arrange for a plumber to install it. After 5 cancellations in 7 days, I contacted Lowe's directly, who arranged for Absolute Plumbjng to install. They came and removed the old toilet and installed the new one in under 30 minutes. They were really professional and pleasant, and I would recommend them highly.

With a leaking toilet and clogged drain, we needed have someone come out in the middle of the night.  Our first call was another plumber we had worked with, but they were not available.  We didn't know anything about The Plumbing Company but saw the good reviews so we gave them a chance.  Phil came out within the hour, it was 2am and he went straight to work, clearing the drain, removing the toilet and then using a machine to clear out the drain even more.  He was efficient and worked hard, and found that the water was still draining slowly.  There was probably another clog further down the drain and he suggested using a camera.  The camera work is pricey but I wanted to know with assurance that we'd found the problem.  With the immediate problem solved, Phil came back in two days with a camera and the machine to clean out the drain all the way to the vertical stack but before the main sewer line.  The camera showed very clearly all the joins in the pipe and Phil explained the potential problems and recommended toilets which would send more water down the drain to avoid this problem in the future.  Throughout both visits, Phil was pleasant and knowledgeable, and he didn't charge us for his time in talking to us about solutions after he finished his work.  He also took extra time at the beginning to examine and open the cleanout outside the house as a precaution to ensure we didn't back up the house's sewer main in case the clog had turned out to be further that we thought.

As an aside -- Phil also recommended another contractor to do some water damage work, and we trusted his recommendation, and they are doing a fantastic job so far.  We will review them separately.

Literally came over to my parents Julie past 9pm on Memorial Day weekend to help us move a fridge. It was one of those urgent and important tasks and it was awesome to get his response asap and have the whole situation resolved in an hour. Thank you!

Got the job done, but tried to rip us off.
## Update 8/15: Their reply denying this is untrue. Details further below. ##

We had Romex running directly into an appliance, and we wanted the wire to be terminated with an outlet box, instead. My wife first spoke with Pacific Coast Electricians, who quoted her $500-$1,600 for the job (the top end of the range was for a dedicated circuit). So, I called and asked for the same thing and got quoted $375-575 (the top end of the range, again, was for a dedicated circuit). Apparently, I didn't sound as easy to rip off as my wife.

When I asked why he was proposing a new circuit, he said it would be better. When I asked Why? What else is on the circuit? he said he didn't know (I knew it was just a couple light fixtures), so I asked for them to just simply terminate the existing run with an outlet.

Next I grilled him about the $375. I asked if he needed to install conduit, and he said no. I asked    him how long it would take to just add a box and outlet to the existing wiring and he said an hour. I knew it wouldn't take that long but I also didn't really feel like finding another electrician, so I let that be and said, I don't understand why you're asking for $375 for an hour of work and $15 in materials. He gave some BS about quality and warranty. Considering it's licensed work, the minimum quality he's allowed to do is more than fine. We ended up agreeing on just a couple hundred bucks, well under the $500-1,600 they first quoted my wife.

## UPDATE 8/15/2017 ##
Tricia from PCE replied via Yelp on 8/8 (and updated on 8/15) to claim that they were not the ones who treated us so poorly. That's untrue, I double-checked my invoice to verify that it was from them. She also misunderstands the quote over the phone. The electrician was on site, I called him while he was there to follow up on the quote he gave my wife.
