Best Plumbing Repair in Bakersfield CA

Advanced Plumbing was one of the closest highly rated plumbers in my area on Yelp. I was about 99% sure I had a slow leak and that it was getting to the point it needed to be fixed before damage was done. I called the business right at closing time. They utilize an answering service so they have someone answer always in case of emergency call outs. Sometimes answering services are a little rough to deal with, I figured since mine wasn't an emergency it would be a call back tomorrow deal, but they happily offered to book me an appointment for the next day.

The appointments are in a 2 hour window which is nice that you aren't waiting around all day. The next day, we had our plumber arrive just a few minutes after the window. I showed him the spot I figured there was a leak and he was in agreement. He gave me a range of what costs may be like depending on what he found when he got up in the attic and we agreed. I figured it would be another appointment to get it fixed, but he was like nope I'm ready to go! He climbed up and it didn't take too long to fix because it ended up being a small leak. He showed it to us on the phone but also, we got to see the leaky pipe evidence when he cut it out and brought it down to ground level after everything was fixed.

We were super pleased with service from start to finish on everything. I would easily recommend this company again to anyone needing a plumber in Bakersfield.

John was just out to de-winterize my swamp cooler. He is upbeat, professional, and explained everything. He went up on the roof four different times to make sure everything was OK.  I will never use any other plumbing service. Irene.

I was need of replacement parts. They responded immediately to my inquiry and setup an appointment for the next day. He gave us a free estimate and was available the following day. He even bought two parts just in case one was wrong. He was able to complete the job in a reasonable time and even checked our pressure to make sure everything was running correctly. I know where to go for all my future plumbing needs.

Extremely professional service by technician Brad and his assistant (sorry I cannot remember name.)  Brad was at the house within hour of calling office.  Office staff also very friendly.  A+++ experience, would highly recommend.

Was really hoping to write a positive review got my septic tank pumped $400 with no problem whole family very pleasant and helpful thought all was well then my shower was still backed up and told that happens when the septic tank was full fine got it snaked $75 let Alex know my pit was still filling up flowing down the street after being pumped at this point was informed there is no warranty on the work I had done and it's because I didn't want to spend an extra $150 for chemicals in the tank which I'm not understanding how a septic tank that takes normally takes  3 years to fill is filling after 1 week so I'm back to square 1 out of $475 and still having a swamp in my front yard not to mention the smell was hoping for a different more accommodating outcome being $475 is a lot of money in my life to still have the same problem I was hoping would be fixed as I paid for a service that obviously wasn't satisfactory

As to your response we can go back and forth with this but I know what was said at the time and Alex referred to the sludge at the bottom and chemicals for $150 would take care of that at no time was any mention of any major repairs needed but whatever statement makes you feel better about the situation  is fine with me as I know what you told me at the time  wish the outcome would've been better as I have no reason to lie I as I am the one who paid for the service in full  just hoping for a better outcome and resolution

Not much worse than a broken, leaking toilet before guests arrive.  I had a lot of trouble calling around to find a local plumber until I tried getting quotes thru Yelp.  Mark replied immediately and asked very relevant questions to prepare his estimate for exactly what I wanted.  His bid was completely fair, he arrived on time with everything needed for the job, worked efficiently, and cleaned up everything.  I was very impressed with his professionalism, knowledge, friendly attitude and willingness to provide the new toilet and drive up here the next day.  Excellent.

Great experience with this company, highly recommended! Thorough with service calls as well as large projects. Replaced a 60 year old sewer line in no time without leaving a mess behind. Call Owen... he's trustworthy and competitively priced.

Replaced some drywall in our living room and garage. They were on time and did a great job!

Richard was amazing, kind, courteous, and prompt. Great communication from the start. Our water heater went out and he was able to replace it promptly. He cleaned the area and hauled off our old water heater. He's knowledgeable, thoughtful, and reasonably priced. I highly recommend him! It's nice to have someone we can count on for our plumbing needs who is dependable.

Call them!! Highly recommend McKee! Nicholas and Jacob are responsive, professional and kind. They know what they're doing and gave me a lot of confidence. I called everyone in Bakersfield to help me with my new home purchase and they showed up on time, very professional, great pricing and were able to help me with my small and larger projects. They are now an big part of my landlord team and I feel thankful to have found them. They came by quick to clean out a clogged drain and coming later to help with my bath handle. They also worked quick to install pipes and drains for a new kitchenette and laundry units. Thanks guys!

We had a a copper pipe attached to our wall snap and had to shut off our water. We called for a repair and they came out in about an hour! We were so thankful. They were very professional and did a great job. Being almost 41 weeks pregnant and due at any moment it was a huge relief to be able to have our water back on and the pipe fixed. We will definitely be using them again and will refer them to others that need plumbing repairs. They are also very reasonably priced.

I needed a plumber outdoor faucet was leaking which comes out of the wall of house Came out at a very reasonable time was friendly and professional and did a good job ...definitely will call back again.

I have used Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance for years and really love the service & quality work I get. I am a contractor doing high end residential work & I know I can always count on them for great work at a fair price.
They are reliable and completely honest. Their knowledge of plumbing is generations deep. I feel good about recommending them to my  friends & clients.

We have a pipe bust in the middle of the night. Rick and his team came out and promptly started to work. Kept us entirely in the loop. They never led us astray. Definitely would use them again.

We had Stans re-pipe our entire house. We went with them because they had the lowest bid. Well, as they say, you get what you pay for. The pipes are not secure and clunk every time the water is shut off. The amount of damage they did to put the pipe in was unnecessary. Sloppy cutting past the studs in all the drywall. It's been a nightmare to repair. They left trash and messes everywhere and did not clean up after themselves. Now I'm having fittings come loose and leak. I've had to shut the water off in the house and they don't seem to care. They said they won't be out for hours. I guess I'll have to find a restroom somewhere else in the mean time. Never again. On the other hand, I used Poes Plumbing to clean up some stuff and do finish work. His work has been impeccable. I would not recommend Stans to anyone.

I almost never write reviews. I probably only write a review if I had a bad or horrible experience. Well after reading some of the reviews on here and after just having them come out the other day, I decided to post. Ive used Payless for years and have always had good service and really good people come out, sometimes at a moments notice like the other day. Chris and Bryant were the last two to come out and I highly recommend them. They will continue to be my first call and I will continue to refer them to friends and family.

First time out it was 286 dollars to replace rusted bolts and seal for toilet. Home just built in 2013. This was in July of 16 I believe. (Dispatcher told me that and also that I still had warranty till July 2018) I was at work when plumber contacted me and informed me that builder used less quality materials. (In 2016) It's in the kids hallway restroom so I Authorized the repair. Got home from work and was satisfied. Two weeks ago (2018)I call them back out to inspect the bolts because they are rusted again. I used to work there so I am familiar with the two year warranty. Plumber showed up at my door with no tool bag and just a phone in his hand. Walked straight to the hallway restroom. Took pictures and walks out with not one word. Comes back and tells me it will be 286 dollars to complete the repairs. Astonished, I do my best to maintain my composure while I do my best to explain the whole scenario. Plumber doesn't want to hear it. So I ask to speak to a manager. George. I hear him say what's he want to speak to me for it's not under warranty. So I attempt to explain to him that his plumber is trying to charge me for the exact same repair that was made their last visit. His says oh let me look into it. I'll have my guy take some pictures. So the plumber back in my home taking pictures again. Even though he just took them. Plumber walks out to his van. Sits there for a while, comes back and tells me yeah it's not covered under warranty. In disbelief at what is transpiring right in front of me (the unprofessionalism-my words can not express the reality of how all this was taking place) I attempt to call the office and speak with one person then she hands me over to Jessica. As I am explaining the situation to Jessica the plumber comes up to me and says hey they want me to leave I just gotta go. I'm leaving. I ask him for something in writing which he does not give me? Jessica informs me that she will look into it. I ask her to please contact my wife with the outcome because I just couldn't believe the unprofessionalism I was just met with. She says okay. My wife gets home and I asked her the outcome. She says the plumber says we need a 900 dollar repair. (How did the cost of repair now change from 286 to 900?) At that point I was at a lost for words. Keep in mind I used to work for this company, so I text the owner and inform him that - I now know how his customers feel at the end of the day. His response to me was if I want it done right it is going to cost 900 dollars. But he does not understand at this point everything that transpired. It's not his fault. If I were still his technician I would hope that he would defend me the same way so I get it. But this time Sir, you are and were wrong to dismiss your customer, especially when your plumber represented your establishment so poorly. Honestly I don't know what I expected when they came out. All I know is I spoke with the office and they told me it would be under warranty-when I initially called in to inquire about the whole scenario. They could have a plumber out that same day. The dispatcher said. So I agreed to the appointment. Honestly, my wife just wanted it repaired so I thought might as well see if it's still under warranty, if not it's not no big deal. It was just so odd that the cost he wanted to charge me was the exact same number I had paid. The plumber kept telling me we don't warranty bolts, which I get but if that is the only reason I called them out for in 2016 then what did I pay them for. The seal the plumber probably didn't even change it in 2016 because he told me he needed to pretty much charge me for that repair to get the bolts in-my house at the time was not even 3 years old. He said the builder just used cheap material. It made total sense. Who is their that hasn't purchased a new home to find the builder tools short cut somewhere. This was the only reason we called them in 2016. Just the bolts were rusted. It was weird. No they are rusted again. But per the plumber they don't warranty bolts - ITheir motto is good old fashioned integrity with today's technology. Unfortunately that was not the case this day. So as a consumer you decide if you would like to be the next one writing this post. I normally don't do reviews but with this being the worst customer experience of my entire life, I felt I just had to let it out to truly let it go. Maybe your experience won't be as bad as mine. Or at least I hope not. God Bless.
