Ivan at Aqua Tech just replaced our pressure reduction valve the same day, and we didn't even request same day service. I called at 8am and Ivan called me back within 20 minutes, gave me an estimate, and told me he could likely do the work later that afternoon but would need to call me back. I asked that he try to give me an hour's notice. Later in the day he called back and said he could be at the house in an hour. In 1.5 hours, he finished the job, pressure tested, left the work area clean, and provided a professional invoice and warranty via E-mail. Definitely recommend Ivan and will hire him again.

Doug is the best!! Honest and reliable. Cost for service is great too. If you are in North County and need a good plumber, call Doug.

please find someone else to answer the phone, this person hates customers and never calls back or gives a heads-up when I ask or beg. She makes my life hell every time I try to schedule an appointment

I recently had a leak in my home somewhere in the master bathroom that was causing water damage to nearly the entire room and part of the master bedroom wall. After several plumbers telling me different things but no resolution in sight, I decided to reach out to Ruben for help after hearing great things about him on Yelp. Ruben gave me a courtesy call and showed up on time, unlike all the other plumbers I tried before. Finding the leak was an adventure, considering the spot it was in was a tight and sort of hidden spot, but thankfully it was found and taken care of. Ruben was very hardworking, professional, and friendly. If I ever have another problem with plumbing, then I would definitely give All Time Plumbing a call again.

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!

CVP & Jeff to the rescue. The reviews here are correct. I went to grab some cleaning supplies and noticed one of our water heater lines was leaking. One of those moments we all dread. Fortunately we found CVP through yelp. I gave the company a call left a voice mail and received a call back within 5 minutes. I explained the problem to Jeff and he said he'd be here in 15min. He rolled up on time and was courteous and professional. He even sent me a text messes so I could put our dog up before he came to the door. Jeff fixed the problem quick and for a reasonable price. We will definitely continue to use CVP in the future. If you want professional and reliable work done contact CVP.

Quick and on-time, affordable prices, the most professional and kindest service I've ever had. Highly recommend this business for any needs, week days or weekends :)

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!

I've now used this company at least 3 times. Every time they're able to come out right away, they're honest and they do good work. Ask for Darrell

Looked at Yelp reviews, saw consistent comments. Called to schedule an appointment. Received a call back in 5 minutes. Storm was at my house in a few hours after he finished a current job. Called to let me know he was in his way and was able to get my hot water heater fixed. Great service, professional and prompt. Will call them again if needed.

Very helpful and responsive to messages! Did a great job removing our satellite dish from the second story eves. Great communication. Recommended.

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!

Ok... so, we moved into this home in 2009. The water heater here was well over 10 years old. Finally it gave out. Its pilot would not light due to some flooding (because of the rain we got recently. Call after call, the consensus was it's time to replace.

After requesting quotes from Yelp, we settled on Water Heaters Only. That's basically off of their communication and of course a fair price.

Danny from Water Heaters Only came out to see what's going on with out water heater. He was extremely professional during this process. Which of course, goes into our checkbox of good communication and work ethics box.  

Please note: For Danny coming out to assess the issue and give a solid quote was no charge!

After Danny left (once he gave the quote), I discussed this w/my better half and so we decided to go with Danny & Water Heaters Only.

Please note: Once we decided to go w/ Water Heaters Only it was towards late afternoon.

Danny came back towards early evening and even though we could tell he had a long day's work and offering Danny that he could come back the next day, Danny insisted to get started while there was still some day light left.

So Danny got started and the job went well into early to mid evening. It was somewhat towards late evening when Danny got tue job done.

Once he finished he showed me and describe the work that he did. During this process we found that the (& please don't quote me on this since I'm not plumber and don't know the exact language) overflow pipe was continuously draining water. After some time of Danny trouble shooting Danny said that we require an expansion tank. I mentioned to Danny that the quote we got 1) the initial quote from WHO on Yelp and then 2) the quote we got from Danny himself after he came out to assess and gave the quote and that WHO told me that there would be no hidden or  surprise costs.

Please note at this point, the water heater was already installed, all the plumbing done and everything was ready to do, except the overflow valve was continuously open thus water draining from the tank. Basically, as the client, I had zero recourse in an unacceptable situation esp. given the cost of this job all together broke us to begin with and now being told that now there is going to be an expensive add on to the job, which we both (WHO & me) had decided and signed off on the job earlier. I mean heck, the new water heater is already installed and all piping soldered etc. What are we supposed to do? Just say, sorry we don't want it, undo all the work you've done , install our old water heater and thank you very much?

At this point. Danny went to make a call, which I suspected that he was talking w/ someone at the WHO office about the situation. Then, Danny came back with a blue tank, which was the expansion tank and said no worries, he will install and make it work.

Please note: this is already some time between 8:30pm to 9pm.

Not only did we get our hot water working, a brand new water heater, a job done to satisfaction but also and imho the most important thing being that we found a solid and fair company that will recommend to all of our family and friends and call on.

Thank you Danny and everyone at WHO.

We had Blue Bear Plumbing come out and jet our waste line from the sink to the restrooms fearing a underslab broken pipe. Worked through 50 years of gunk on the inside of the pipes and after about 40 minutes, line cleared, sent the camera in and we were not able to locate a break !! Will hopefully don't have to call them again, but if we have another issue, we will be calling Blue Bear Plumbing!

Fast and efficient service. Just a clogged utility sink in our garage but he was great and informative. I'm always afraid of how expensive plumbing issues can be, but it wasn't too bad and I feel he was very honest.     Will call again for future needs :)

I needed a new heater just before Christmas of 2020. Major pandemic time.  The people worked and were polite In spite of the fact my two dogs wanted to kiss the workers while they were working. After they wrote done
......... I WANTED TO KISS THEM..  These are wonderful people.
