Best Pump Repair in Bakersfield CA
Carroll Plumbing are the ultimate professionals, clean, friendly and prompt. My only recommendation would be to get a written estimate in advance, detailing exactly what is to be done and a do not exceed price quote. The work was done well in the end, but took 3 trips to finish as promised and exceeded our phone quotation by 30% (which was already implied to be on the high end). Some of the overage was due to an unforeseen leak in a bad copper plumbing union (though it lasted 50 years up until then) and they removed an hour of the other overages after we objected, though not all as we felt was warranted. In hindsight, I should have just done most of the work myself.

Update (2/15/19):
The Good:
After 3 more weeks, several follow-ups with The Honest Plumber, and two separate inspections I had to set up with the city on my own time (with the first one failing due to improper installation), the water heater replacement was finally signed off by the city. I'm finally done with this nightmare.
The Bad:
The Honest Plumber sent a manager to drop off the permit at my house (after my many complaints) and review the initial installation that was done. The manager told me there would be 'no problem' with the permit inspection by the city. (He was wrong.)
That manager (and the technician who installed the water heater) didn't seem to know city code very well - the installation failed the initial inspection with two major issues: the ventilation shaft was installed too close to combustible materials and the drainage pipe was hanging with nowhere to go (it should be leading outside or to a drain). During the installation, I explicitly asked the technician about these two issues because they looked off to me, but he told me that they weren't going to be problems. (He was wrong.)
When a second technician was dispatched to fix the problems, even he wasn't sure what city code was supposed to be - he had to call his manager to figure out what work needed to be done. It's pretty hard to feel confident that The Honest Plumber is doing the right thing, consistently, and in a professional manner.
In Summary:
I wish there was something redeeming I could say about the company, but there's not much to offer. If you want a no-fuss water heater replacement done the right way the first time, you should avoid The Honest Plumber at all costs.

John is the real deal. He came out to replace what we thought would be our entire pump grinder, and found that we only needed a part replaced rather than the whole pump. Other companies were quoating $5k-$50k, and John was able to repair everything we needed for under $300. An honest, reliable plumber that we will be using for any/all of plumbing needs we have in the future! Thank you John!

I would like to thank Mark West for his amazing customer service. Mark has helped us out since this summer. I was converting our spare bedroom into a nursery as we were expecting our first child in November of this year. Along the way I noticed a leak. Mark made multiple trips and worked tirelessly to find the culprit of the leak. He climbed in the attic multiple times. I called him multiple times and he answered every call and made time to come check on the leak. Eventually the leak was located and fixed and the nursery was completed. I should mention, yesterday I had an issue with my water heater. Mark came out fixed it with no issues and he was his usual polite and positive self. Roto rooter could only hope to have more employees like him. Hats off to you Mr. West. The Tittlemier's thank you for all of your hard work.

When I called I reached the owner Alex. He was so nice. He was there within the hour. He made sure that we would be alright for the night. He came out the next day and completed the job in a timely manner and didn't drain our bank account like the last company we used. His prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend them.

Very professional and came with all the right equipment to readily find the leak in my pool. Fixed the problem very quickly and completely. Quoted a pice and stuck to it even though he did extra work to make sure I was completely satisfied. Darren is very knowledgeable about all things relating to leakage and other pool equipment problems. I can highly recommend his services

I had a leak & clogging under my bathroom sink & I did a quick search and came across Xtreme plumbing as my first choice. They not only responded quickly but they sent someone (forgot his name) within 30 minutes to fix the issue. He also explained the problem thoroughly. I recommend them to anyone else that would need plumbing services. Thank you!

I was looking for a plumber to fix my mom's chimney leak when I came across Prodigy Flow Plumbing. I sent a message through Yelp and Kevin replied with his phone number. I sent him a text and provided him our info. Within the hour he showed up at my mom's to check her leak and ended up fixing it on the spot. He did a great job and my parents are happy enjoying the fire during this cold weather. Thank you Kevin!

We recently had all of our outdated equipment replaced by Bakersfield Pool Equipment. Everything was handled quickly and professionally, all while coming under the bids of several other contractors in the area. I would encourage anyone in need of pool equipment and or repair to give them a call!

Great service from to very knowledgeable technicians Luis and Carlos. They showed up on time and performed some things I needed done in regards to plumbing. Over the last year I've been having different types of issues and used multiple companies on Yelp but by far this company is the best in regards to getting to the root of the plumbing issues I had.Prices are fairly even compared to other bigger companies, but I believe the experience of Luis and Carlos the plumbers is what gives this company my recommendation and if needed again I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

I called these guys thinking they would be honest. My son flushed wipes and the main line to the sewer was clogged. I set up an appointment for an estimate for 9am. They wont quote you an hourly rate. I looked here at the reviews and became concerned. As the bad reviews said they did not show up at 9am. By 10am I called and cancelled. The reviews say they are late and scam you by overcharging. I found George The Rooter Man in Santa Barbara. Quoted me 105 an hour over the phone......was here on time.....fixed the clog in a little over an hour. $155 total. Thank God for Yelp. I almost got scammed.

This guy is seriously a genius when it comes to plumbing! Even though he was busy he came out at 9pm just to see what was flooding our side yard... within 60 seconds he figured it out and noticed it was an issue with the neighbors pipes. I was so impressed and will never look else where for our new homes plumbing concerns! I highly recommend this guy!!!!

H&A Plumbing arrived to fix my problem about half an hour after I called them. They fixed the problem at the price they quoted and left things nice and neat. I appreciated them arriving as quickly as they did cause I know they were busy but they were able to fit me in between jobs. I like that they're a local company and if I need a plumber again, I'll use them.

We were very pleased with Frank Londono Construction. They put a new roof and gutters on our house, they paid attention to detail, clean up and the job came out beautiful. I recommend them and will use Frank Londono Construction again.

Requested an estimate for a major project of replacement of main sewer lines from house to street. Tech came out, said he didn't have the equipment to check situation and estimate work . Said he would return the next day with the equipment and give estimate. Waited 2 days for his return but he never came back and never called. So I went with another plumbing company who did the work. Exercise caution if you call them. You may or may not get the work done.
