Best Plumbing Services in California

These folks are amazing! I had a major plumbing issue. Pip showed up and told me yes I had a problem but they were two solutions. One involved jackhammering and major pipe replacement. The other involved a $30 fix all but would take a little more time. He recommended the $30 fix. After a month everything was fine! For $30! We all know what we are doing at our individual jobs. Finding someone who will be honest with us in areas we know nothing about, priceless!

I had a pipe break underground the morning after thanksgiving and the first plumber who came out did absolutely nothing but connect a garden hose from the main water line to my house for $435 and said he'd come back the next day to fix the line at additional cost. Not wanting to get ripped off again, I asked my friend who's a general contractor if he could recommend a good plumber and that's how I met RMR Plumbing. Ramero was out that morning within a couple hours and had my new line put in immediately. The following Sunday he returned to fix another problem within an hour of talking to him. You can't beat his responsiveness and willingness to help any day of the week.

Our outdoor water heater stopped working Friday morning. I couldn't take a shower. I thought This stinks. We have a home warranty which is usually as useful as ice cubes in Antarctica. They had their contractor come out and provide an estimate. They were nice people, thorough and informative. However, they couldn't install the new water heater until Tuesday. I can go a day or so without a hot shower, but 5 days? We would need to hire an exterminator to get rid of the flies.

So, all day Friday I sent requests here on Yelp. Most of the requests to the companies on Yelp either couldn't do it quickly or their prices were 2-3 times as high as what we knew they should be. One person was just downright rude. We called Home Depot and Lowes. Both were as useful as... well, ice cubes in... you get it. Calling the big box stores was terrible. When we called we were on hold for almost an hour. We got disconnected. When we finally reached the correct department, they didn't listen to what we needed. One manager said his vendor would call us in a few minutes. 2 hours later, no call. It was a most frustrating experience. We were starting to lose hope.

My son was helping me to research this to find someone that could come to our rescue. He found Maxx Water Heater Service and spoke to Dimitar. He gave him all of the details and we sent him photos. He gave us a reasonable quote. He also understood the urgency and made himself available to come out the next day.

He showed up as scheduled and completed the work quickly and efficiently. Not only did he replace the existing water heater, but he improved on it a great deal. Not only did he meet our expectations but he greatly exceeded them. The installation is not only up to code and better than before it looks nice in the enclosure he built. As this is an outdoor unit, that was important to us.

It's a relief to have our hot water back. But it's also a relief to find a reliable, efficient and kind business person to work with. Our neighbors are relieved as well. The old eyesore of a water heater is gone and we no longer smell bad! ;-)

Ziggy has been the neighborhood plumber for over 30 years. He has reasonable rates and great service. He's done our plumbing for 15 years and he's never once had to come back to fix a problem; he gets things right the first time.

Ziggy runs his business from his home, but if you search for the business you might see an address on Deerpark. Apparently that's an error from Google maps photographing his truck on another street. 2752 Burgener is the actual address.

I've used E-Drains numerous times over the previous few years. They've always done the job and I haven't had any complaints with their work. Recently, I've had a poor experience and can no longer recommend them to anyone else. I requested service for a shower drain to be cleared on 11/10/22. They were able to fit me in the following day and came to clear the drain. When the plumber arrived, he said the drain was fully cleared already and he didn't need to do anything. Soon after (11/14/22), I was billed for the full amount of the service call ($77). Although $77 is not a large amount, I took issue with the fact that no work was performed and yet I was being billed the full amount. I was assuming I'd pay some type of travel charge, but instead was fully billed. I held off paying the invoice until I could communicate with the company. I was reminded to pay the invoice on 11/21/22 and I asked why I was being billed the full amount when no work was performed. The answer was ...because we went out there and Oceanside as you know is far and gas is not cheap right now. Not a good answer and was not, as far as I was aware, part of any existing policy. On 11/28/22 I was reminded again about the outstanding bill and after sharing (again) my issue I was ignored. Instead of dragging it out any longer, I paid the entire bill that day and decided to move on. I was thanked for making the payment (which was made just 17 days after the initial service date) and I thought that was the end of it. When I had another issue recently I had a co-worker reach out to set up an appointment and she was told E-Drains would not work with me due to a previous billing issue. I reached back out and was completely ignored. I've essentially been blacklisted by this company due to a legitimate concern on their billing and, despite them never addressing my concern, I still paid the full amount a couple of weeks later (well within 30 days). I've now wasted way too much time, including this drawn out review to tell you that while I would anticipate the work done is reasonable, the billing/costs are questionable and the company's business practices are, in my experience, sketchy, untrustworthy, and just plain rude.

Bob just knows what he's doing. So you will know the job will be done right and much cheaper than the other guys out there with the ads. He is fast and very helpful, not to mention a great personality as well. I have used his services many times.

Response time was very quick for our emergency.  Went out of his way to get someone here quick and then Jerry personally came by to make sure the job was done with quality.  Nice to find a good quality plumber who is reliable and does good work!! Will use for other jobs!!!

My experience with Rooter Hero was horrible. The tech, Gabe came to my house regarding a clog in my clean out pipes in my front lawn. I explained to him that my son dropped something in the clean-out pipe which is causing the clog. Rather than snaking the line, Gabe tells me that I needed to have the line hydro flushed. He explains to me that it would be $1,400 to have two guys flush water through the line. I told him thats insane because I believe it could be snaked. After I told Gabe no thanks, I called AOC and explained to their tech George what Gabe recommended and they agreed the situation could be resolved by snaking the pipe. After 1 hour and $275, George resolved the issue and got the clog and piece my son dropping in the pipe out. It was clean that Gabe was trying his hardest to upsell to cash in on my situation. SMH. I will never contact this company again.

Pacific Tankless was chosen by our home warranty service for the second attempt at addressing our leaky shower. I was initially nervous due to the low quantity of reviews, but at least they were all good!

Todd came out to our condo earlier this afternoon and fixed one of the problems (leaking around the handles), but the other problem (leaking from the faucet) was unaddressed. Given that there were two different problems, I'm not going to dock points because that could really come down to something as a communication issue. More important to me is how it was handled; I called Todd back and mentioned the tub was still leaky and he was back at our place after 45 minutes or so to replace the cartridges, which unfortunately was a far more complex and time-consuming problem than the simple caulking he had to do earlier. Sorry Todd! :( But he was a good sport about the whole thing and very friendly with one of our equally friendly cats, who may now be less friendly with us since there's no more leaky shower water for them to drink.

Thank you again to Todd and Pacific Tankless for quickly addressing our problems in a friendly manner; leaving a positive review is the least I can do.

Our kitchen sink was clogged right before a graduation party.  Of course it happened over memorial weekend and I panicked!  Called Chris, he gave me a price over the phone and he was at our house in less than 30 minutes.   Chris was very knowledgeable, with a few tries.... voila!   Not only does our kitchen drain work better than it ever has, but so does our bathroom sink too!  Thank you Chris!!!

Fast!  Same day quote and service.  Great communication. Replaced a noisy pressure regulator valve under 30 minutes. Sal and his partner were knowledgeable, respectful and courteous. Thank you!

My garbage disposal broke right before thanksgiving ... they came right out and fixed it for a very reasonable price! Saved me! Recommend very highly!

Plamen responded quickly to our Yelp quote request with an exact price. We contacted him on a Tuesday evening and we got an appointment first thing the next morning. Great and fast communication! He moved our hot water heater to the right and strapped it to the back wall instead of the side. He was respectful, wore a mask, and worked very efficiently! Don't hesitate to use Plamen!!

I've had my fair share of bad experiences with plumbers in the past, but not this one. Yuri was very helpful and very detail oriented. As soon as he came in, he immediately took off his shoes without us telling him. Made a thorough inspection and told us his assessment. He made sure that I understood what's going and what he was going to do. He was friendly and had a very good conversation about sports. Very skilled plumber with a wealth of experience and expertise. After he fixed the leak, he made sure everything was clean and back to its original place. He made sure he left his contact information in case anything happened. I sure will keep his contact information for all future plumbing issues I may encounter. Fair pricing and Highly recommended. Job well done!!!

Victor is great. Low prices and, after many years in the industry, he knows all the tricks. He had my problem fixed in no time time.

Richard replaced my water heater. He was fast and efficient. I received a quote for the install, then a second quote to install a pump if the hot water didn't reach my bathroom fast enough. It turned out it took too long, so Richard came out the next day to install a pump. I felt they were fair and I appreciated the dual quote to save me money, in the event I didn't need the pump. Many plumbers would have just racked it on to charge more money, but these guys waited to see if I really needed it. Thanks!
