Best Water Heater Leak Repair in Bakersfield CA

No one wants to need a plumber but when you do choose Advanced Plumbing Service! We had an attic copper line leak that presented on the ceiling drywall. While others couldn't come for days, Advanced Plumbing came same day, went into the attic to fix (so our drywall didn't have to be cut) and got the job done right. Their plumber was friendly, responsive and got the job done both quickly and correctly. Thank you Advanced Plumbing!

The job was done correctly, but they have no eye for detail. None of the pipes were straight that were exposed in the garage. looks like an amateur did the job. After returning to fix the lines that were routed wrong in the attic their fix for not being straight or level was to put black insulation on it.

FIRST VISIT FROM AEQ PLUMBING
I had new countertops and a kitchen sink installed in my kitchen.  Tony @ AEQ Plumbing was subcontracted to come out and install the faucet, dishwasher, garbage disposal as well as drainpipe system below the sink.  I also paid extra to replace the aging cold and hot water shutoff valves beneath the sink.  Tony showed up on time, was friendly and professional, and did a great job.  I kept his phone number in case I needed any further plumbing services.

VISIT #2
The shutoff valve on my water heater was badly corroded.  I was afraid that it might snap off in the future whenever I would flush the sediment out of my water heater.  For a low price ($80.00 or so??), Tony came out, removed the old shutoff valve, and soldered on a brand new shut off valve.  I no longer fear that it will snap off when I go to shut off the water heater.

ALMOST VISIT #3
My water heater burner was having gas build-up issues.  I turned it off for fear that it might cause a fire.  I could not get the pilot to re-light.  I figured it was time to buy a new water heater.  I called Tony who was ready to come and help me install a new water heater.  The price he quoted was very reasonable (only a couple of hundred dollars for labor??).  Tony was all scheduled to come out the next day to install the new water heater when I decided to see if the water heater might be under warranty (which it was).  Long story short, I ended up getting the water heater burner assembly replaced 100% free under warranty by the manufacturer.  Tony never came out to do the work, but had it not been under warranty I'm sure that Tony would have done a top notch job getting a new water heater replaced.

ACTUAL VISIT #3
In the middle of the night, I heard a loud crash from my master bathroom bathtub.  It turns out that the screw holding my overflow drain rusted through which caused the overflow drain plate to come crashing down.  There was no way to get the broken screw out, so I called Tony over to replace the overflow/drain assembly.  Tony had to cut the kitchen ceiling below to reach the piping.  It was an easy fix for Tony.  He replaced the pipes, the overflow plate (with a nice up/down toggle lever), and the bathtub drain (with a nice cover piece to prevent items from slipping down the drain).  The labor cost was $129.00 + parts for a grand total of $172.69 out the door.

Tony is responsive, friendly, on-time, reasonably priced, and easy to deal with.  I'm keeping his phone number for all of my future plumbing/sink/toilet/bathroom/kitchen issues.  Give him a call!

Liberty saved us. We spent the better part of FIVE weeks not being able to shower, do laundry or flush only when the smell got unbearable. All that time we spent nearly every day trying to hire a septic service by calling every listing online from one end of the county to the other, leaving messages and requesting quotes by email and only hearing back from 5 or 6 that informed us they don't offer that service - despite being listed under SEPTIC PUMPING SERVICES. Of course, the last name on our list was Liberty. We contacted Alex, who quoted us $700 to come to Tehachapi from Bakersfield for the job. (understandable, given the obscene price of fuel). When the guys arrived -  earlier than the scheduled time, they discovered they would need to pump our tank from two places and had to dig to find the second access. And, one of our tanks contained what amounted to a solid block of material that would require alot of effort to break up. The additional charge was only $50. They were done in a little over two hours, put the dirt back and spent a few moments giving me tips on keeping things flowing.
We are very happy with the job they did; I am sorry I didn't have anything cold for the guys to drink before they left. I will be keeping their number handy because I won't be hiring anyone else. Thank you Liberty!

Mark was very thourough and helped us with what we need. Fixed the toilet leak quick. 30 day guarantee if there was wrong with toilet after it got fixed. He was on time and efficient. Reasonable price provided.

Lucas and his helper were very good. They came out to do work for me the same day that I contacted them, and while working they provided me with honest feedback, advice, and suggestions to all sorts of hypotheticals I gave them.

To top it off, they didn't charge me an arm and a leg.

Nothing more to say, really. Got some plumbing work that needs attention? Give them a call asap. Great work at a great price.

Jason does excellent work and goes above and beyond to make sure the job is done correctly.  We were extremely happy with the end product and the very fair pricing.  I will definitely be using him again and recommending him to others

We have been using Frye Plumbing since 2012. Eugene is fair on pricing and comes right out day or night when needed. You can trust Eugene to take care of you.

Mr. López responded promptly to my call, and answered all of my questions. Set me up with a time and date that worked with my hectic work schedule, and showed up exactly when he said he would. He fixed my broken pull string on my ceiling fan, and replaced my towel rack. He was so helpful throughout the entire process. I will definitely be calling him for future necessary projects.

We had our water heater crack and flood my garage and Sabir from extreme plumbing was able to make it out there the same day to replace it. He was able to explain why that happened very clearly and made the replacement process very easy! Definitely recommend.

Kitchen sink was backed he arrived on time and took care of the problem. Extremely professional and caring about the work he performed. Will definitely use him if we ever encounter a plumbing problem.

Excellent customer service. They replaced my hot water line to my water heater the service tech was very professional. I would recommend their work.

Tradition Plumbing did a great job with the few fixes that I needed. This included repairing our sink disposal leakage, re-installing the outdated piping in front of the home and many other items that were in our home inspection. I'd recommend them to anyone needing plumbing services!

My husband and I own 10 rentals and wanted to try out these guys. I'm very easy going. First they were 90 minutes late. I called and was told maybe another 90 minutes. Okay. Then another hour. Finally, can we come by tomorrow? Again late by about an hour. When I was told the cost-I felt not only were they unprofessional, but overpriced. I told the guy no thanks, you can go. Within one hour-seriously one hour-Stan's Discount Plumbing had arrived, done the job, and charged me $50 less per hour.

I needed to have my toilet unclogged ASAP. Kevin responded to my request with a price quote and a promise to respond later this morning. He followed through and communicated clearly. Once he arrived, he explained his steps to remedy the issue. He was quick, but thorough. Very pleased with his response, communication, and commitment. Thank you, Kevin!

I am writing this review about the honesty in billing of Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc.

I have used Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc. for the last six or seven years with good results.  I have referred them to numerous other people.  I have been really happy with their work, until now.

For the last few years, I have had a maintenance agreement with Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc.  Once a year, in late November, they would come out to my house and perform a sewer maintenance on the sewer line from my home to the sewer lines in the street.  

This year I scheduled the maintenance on December 1st, between the hours of 10am to 12pm.  Their plumber (Joel, per Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc.'s bill) arrived at approximately 9:30am.  The plumber walked around the house and my wife noticed him, so she went outside. He said he couldn't find the line and that the office must have given him incorrect information because they said it was by the kitchen.  My wife directed him to the correct spot on the opposite side of the house.

The plumber used a machine to root out the line.  When the plumber was finished, including putting his machine away (approximately 15 minutes after he arrived), he sat in his truck (in front of our house for approximately 20 minutes).  

On December 21, 2015, I received a bill from Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc.  The bill came to a total of $193.54.  I have no problem paying their hourly rate of $89.00, or the use of their  E100 machine ($15.00).  What I have is a problem with, is Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc. over charging me for two hours labor at $89.00 an hour.  I called Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc. on December 21, 2015, to talk about the bill.  I spoke to a woman in their office; she said someone would call me back the following day..  

On December 23, 2015, Tony called and said he spoke to the plumber.  The plumber reported he was out here for two hours from 9am to 11am.  I told Tony, he arrived around 9:30am and was only here for 15 minutes.  I also told Tony, the plumber sat in his truck for at least 20 minutes. He sat there so long, in fact, that my wife thought something was wrong and he was waiting for additional help/equipment; when all along, he was already done with the job.

Tony said the two hours is a fair time charge and that it includes travel time.  Google maps shows the travel distance and time from Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc.'s office to my house as 2.2 miles and ten minutes.

Tony would not adjust the time charged.  I informed him that he has lost me as a regular customer and I would no longer refer Carroll Plumbing & Maintenance, Inc to anyone in the future.

As a renter, we never know what company is going to be sent out to repair what is broken. In the past 5 years, we have seen different companies come in and out to try and take care of the problems being addressed. Donny showed up from The Honest Plumber under the impression there was only one issue to be resolved when there were actually 3. Not only was he able to make time to fix all 3 problems, he did it in a timely manner, had all the parts he needed in his van, and it was exceptionally impressive that he cleaned up after himself. He was very respectful and professional. I highly recommend this company.

Very unprofessional they came and made a mess in my bathroom refuse to come fix the problem will not  recommend this company at all

Amazing plumbing, extremely knowledgeable with great customer services get there quick and do a excellent job by fixing my laundry room vent and kitchen sink leak and pull out faucet. Also very nice plumbers. Owner Mike Bosse very nice guy 10/10 would recommend!

I called On Time first to work on floor heater. They called and said it needed to be replaced as you could not get parts to fix. $4,200.00. Then I found Gundlach's who went out and said there was nothing wrong with floor heater, just needed to be relit. Yeah, love love love honest company's. Thank you so much.
