Best Plumbing Services in California

I had this plumber come to install a faucet I'd purchased.  He did it and left, after telling me that it would not be under warranty because he did not supply the faucet.  Read it again- his work in my home had no warranty because the faucet was already there and he didn't middle man it.  Okay.  

It immediately was wobbly.  I called and he said he would try to get over there to take a look at it.  We are talking a day or two later.  He never showed up.  Then he stopped answering my calls.  I gave up at this point and just lived with a wobbling faucet that leaked counter top water into the cabinet below for a while.  

Eventually we got another faucet and attempted to replace it ourselves.  But... it turned out that the hole under the sink where the faucet is clamped down was either too big or too small to get a tight seal.  We ended up having to router out some of the wood underneath to get a good grip and finally get a non wobbly faucet.  

Guess who installed a faucet with the under parts diagonal and knew it wouldn't work?  Tom Dinardo.  Guess who told me it would not be under warranty of any kind before he left my home?  Tom Dinardo.  Guess who is a plumber who should have known that the hole needed to be either bigger or smaller for the parts to be flush under the sink and I'm thinking knew my faucet was not going to work?  Pretty sure it was Tom Dinardo.  

So I guess if you have him get all your parts for you so his work will be under warranty, you could hire this guy.  But if you already got your faucet and are looking for someone to install it, I'd recommend looking some more, his work is not guaranteed and when you want him to fix it, even less than a week later, he won't, even if he didn't do it correctly in the first place

Also, I had read the directions prior to having Tom Dinardo install the faucet- he failed to use a silicon ring upon install.  It was in the directions to do so and I watched him do it and he never put anything down, just faucet on granite with a half ass, diagonal assembly shoved in the hole underneath it.

These guys are fantastic, reasonable and down right honest! We got quotes from them, Black Mountain (they kept changing their price) and Bill Howe (sent an apprentice). So glad we decided to go with All Flow Plumbing in Santee, 619-409-9891. Eric and his assistant, Daniel, replaced our main water line plus built a new irrigation line, no leaks and everything works perfectly!

Top notch service, from communication to installation.  Beside me why anyone living in CV / Del Mar area would use someone else for a residential job.  This guy knows the houses and the community really well.

I recently experienced an unfortunate situation in which a pipe burst in my upstairs bathroom around 4:30am. I immediately turned the main water valve off. However, by the time I reached shut off valve, the leak had already began rushing downstairs. I began to call the list of plumbing companies on Google. I began to panic after calling numerous plumbing companies to only reach an automated voice, a continuous dial tone or a voice mail. Luckily, I eventually reached  Jesse at Damman's plumbing. He was kind and assured me everything would be okay. He was able to arrive shortly after and resolve the situation. He also advised me on how to resolve other issues caused by the water leak. Despite an unfortunate situation, I now have someone reliable to call during any plumbing emergency.

After requesting help and quotes on Yelp for a low water pressure situation in an upstairs bath/shower with two faucets (the guest bath)  that had apparently occurred within the last two months,  Joe came by to give a free estimate.  This was at my mother-in-law's house where my wife and I are staying while her mother recovers from surgery.  To diagnose the problem, and after turning off the water at the street, he took out both valves and stuck a wire into the connecting pipe to see if there was any sediment or buildup but nothing was apparent.  He reinstalled the valves but there wasn't any improvement.  He gave us a quote for a single-control Moen temperature-balancing faucet, complete with a trim plate that would cover the holes left by the original faucets, for $325.  Now that he had diagnosed the problem, he urged us to ask for quotes for this job on Yelp to see what others would charge.  We were fine with this estimate but had other plumbers coming and wanted at least a second opinion.  But Joe didn't charge for this initial diagnosis.

Two hours later, another plumber responding to our request on Yelp showed up.  I didn't tell him what Joe had done previously.  This time we turned off the water using the valve in the garage, the only difference.  He pretty much determined the same problem but wanted $150 to remove the valves and fish the connecting pipe.  I pressed him on what the next step would be if that didn't work (which I already knew it wouldn't).  He said that he could install pretty much the same single-control faucet that Joe had recommended for $600-$800!  I then told him that Joe had already done what he wanted $150 to do and also told him Joe's estimate for the same type of faucet.  He was amazed and asked if Joe was a real plumber and he kept pressing and pressing and I told him, no, I wasn't interested, I thanked him for his time and effort but told him that I was ending this.  He protested all the way out the door and then told me he might be able to do it on his time for less.  No thanks!

But wait, here's the best part!  After he left, I turned on all the faucets in the house and then opened the valve in the garage.  Lots of noise and banging and the sound of water whooshing.  I started to turn off all the faucets downstairs and my wife called from upstairs saying that water was gushing out of the tub spout in the upstairs bathroom!  Apparently, whatever Joe did had resolved the problem, it just took a complete flushing of the faucets and the upstairs bath/shower was now working just fine.  My wife and I finally got to take decent showers again!  

Since Joe actually fixed the problem and it didn't cost her anything, my mother-in-law decided that she wanted to reimburse him for his time and effort, so she called and said that she wanted to send a check for $100.  A very nice woman (Joe's wife?) answered and when she explained the call to Joe, they both said that this wasn't necessary.  If we have any future plumbing problem at either my mother-in-law's house or at our house, we will definitely call Joe!

Phil and Tracy arrived right on time and quickly got to work on the TPR valve piping on my hot water heater.  Excellent job and reasonably priced. Would definitely call again.

I got a phone call within minutes of requesting a quote and Dominic was at our home within a couple hours to give us a quote on replacing a leaking waterheater.  He was very thorough and explained everything that they would do as part of the replacement.  Great Service!!!!

I hired Gunner at Anthem to do some custom upgrades to our back porch. He was very quick to pick up on my plans and helped to fine-tune them and he performed the work as promised on time and on budget. It went so well that I was confident to hire him for my next job, which required some customization of cabinets in the kitchen. Again he did a fantastic job under unique circumstances. I highly recommend anthem Handyman Services.

Greg is wonderful! I had taken the day off work to wait for a different plumbing company (through our home warranty) to come by to fix an issue we had, but they decided not to show. I started calling around trying to find someone who could come same day, to no avail. Greg was one of the people I left a voicemail for, and he called me back pretty quickly. He explained that he was very busy for the day but offered to walk me through a few processes to see if I could just fix it myself and save both money and time. It ended up solving our problem, and no further repairs or anything were needed! We are definitely appreciative of his willingness to help and his generosity. We already have and will continue to recommend him to everyone in Ramona we know!

I can back from a trip out of town and saw some water leaking under my water heater.  Called the local plumber and he recommended Water Heaters Only.  They sent a service person (Pat) and he replaced my water heater within a couple hours.  Very professional and quick.

Everyone we dealt with was courteous and professional for this service call to diagnose and fix our tankless water heater issue. Thankfully it was a quick fix, and they even provided documentation as to the cause for our HOA's and development's benefit. We would use this service if needed.

We called Universal plumbing to help with a slow kitchen drain. The problem was pretty far down the line since it took a few minutes of dishwashing before the water started coming up in the sink.
 The guys came over, run the snake, told me that all was fixed, charged ~$100 and left.  After a few days, doing a big load of dishes, we found that nothing changed and the water was still coming up.  The receipt said 30-day warranty so we called the guys again.
They refused to come!
Said they there were not under any obligation or warranty, and that was entirely our problem.

Removing our old garbage disposal was difficult because of a low porcelain sink in a shallow cabinet, but Miles patiently chipped away at it so the sink wouldn't fracture.  He successfully cleared a kitchen pipe to the main line and is coming back today to hydroflush it to postpone having to repipe and dig up the kitchen floor.

Instant Hot Water!
Pacific Beach Plumbing did a great job installing a recirculating hot water pump.  We chose and recommend the Hot Water D'MAND System and are happy.

I contacted several vendors in the area for estimates to revamp a retaining wall planter that runs the length of our back yard (remove dirt, add plants and addition of large pebbles). The estimate from Velazquez was the lowest estimate and Sauro and his crew were able to start the project less than a week after receiving the estimate! They were very easy to work with, did a beautiful job and the price was exactly what I was given on the estimate (other than one small additional which I chose to add after). I could not be more pleased with the result and will absolutely use them again for future projects!

Ray A. was absolutely amazing!! We had a clogged kitchen sink that started leaking water from below a sealed cabinet. He was very quick, helped us with a different problem and very fair. I highly recommend Ray for anyone dealing with pipes or plumbing problems. I will be calling him for any future issues in our home.
