Carlos is knowledgeable and very honest, you rarely find someone that does not take advantage, I  will keep Elite Rooter of SD and Carlos in my contacts, thank you.

We called them for emergency service for a simple clogged kitchen sink drain on a Saturday morning at 11am. I told them I want it done today. They said they can make it at 4-5pm. They said $200 fee just to come out, then $250/hr. Crazy high, but I was busy and didn't feel like getting a bunch of quotes -- so I said ok. At least they'll show up since I'm paying am arm and a leg right?

Wrong. An hour before they were supposed to show up, they called to tell me they can't make it and have to reschedule for tomorrow. Does this company not understand what emergency service is? You have to wait half a day to tell me you can't come? And it was scheduled for 4pm -- you can't unclog a drain at 7pm? 8pm? 10pm? What is the $200 emergency fee for? If you're double booked and too busy just let your customers know so they can call someone else who can come -- that's why I asked for emergency service!

But ok, I get it. Things just get crazy sometimes, but you'll never guess what they said next. They said they can reschedule me for tomorrow -- I said ok fine, then they said, we're going to need your credit card number right now for the $200 emergency fee! I was like... what do you mean? You're the one rescheduling -- you're going to charge me? They said, if they're on their way tomorrow and I cancel, they will charge me the $200.

Are these people serious? I called for emergency service and agreed to exorbitant prices. They couldn't deliver on fast service, wasted my day, tried to reschedule AND attempt to lock in their $200. They were only interested in the $200 and my needs as their customer were the last thing on their mind.

I had a feeling that this would drag on till Monday because that's just the vibe I got so I politely declined. I called up another company who showed up on time the first thing in the morning and got it done quick. And no surprise -- the other company charged waaaaay less even for emergency service.

To management -- here's a hint. If someone calls you for emergency service they want it done quick. If you probably can't make it, just tell them to call someone else. If something unexpected happened and you can't make it, tell them you're sorry, that you'll be there first thing next morning, and wave the emergency fee because YOU MESSED UP and YOU INCONVENIENCED YOUR CUSTOMER who could have had their problem fixed already by someone else. Your company did the opposite of that and instead was only thinking about yourself and tried to lock in the emergency fee. lol what a joke.

To everyone else -- call someone else lol

Brandon has been a huge help and a great plumber.  Honest and an old school hard worker.  On top of it all he's got such a great attitude.

Tankless water heater stopped working- Daniel came over one hour after I called, very nice man, fixed it right up for the price quoted for a service call on the phone- I will be using them again!!!

Ivan & Ricardo Plumbers & Drain Specialists, and Joe the scheduler were top-notch professionals today. We called ALMIGHTY PLUMBING & DRAIN SPECIALISTS and will use them every single time from here on out. Be sure to request Ivan & Ricardo and talk to Joe in order to get the most friendly, skilled & efficient plumbers and drain specialists near downtown San Diego. Ivan & Ricardo went above and beyond, were on-time, clean, friendly and very polite. Be sure to offer them good drinking water. I offered them both water, coffee & tea because they were so friendly.

Joe & Ivan text/called us to make sure that we felt a sense of relief they were on their way! We were dealing with our neighbor's sewage over-flow inside our unit due to never been cleaned and dirty/clogged 2-inch to 4-inch PVC shared drainpipes. We share the same bathroom wall pertaining to plumbing, drainage and sewer pipes w/neighbors.

ALMIGHTY PLUMBING & DRAIN SPECIALISTS fixed our shared plumbing's clogged-drain-overflow. It was so disgusting & unsanitary for us each to have to transport the neighbor's raw-sewage outside for the past 24-hours?! Ivan & Ricardo to the rescue! They worked with my neighbors & ourselves to get-it-done! They fixed the problem within 2- hours and left our drainpipes in newer and in better condition than when we had moved in. They replaced the PVC with BRASS DRAINPIPES, PHEW! Thank you guys!

I want to put a review in for CML PLUMBING.  
Chris Leah. He was the best I could ask for. He was very professional and kind.  He made sure I understood what the insurance would pay for and what was my responsibility. He was quick and did a very good job. When I need a plumber or if any of my friends or family ask about a plumber I will recommend him. Chris thanks for a job well done. I would give you 10 stars because to me you  deserve it.

I was very pleased with Paws' service, the crew showed up on time and even though the job was more complex and they had quoted they completed the work on budget and very patiently stayed working overtime until it was done. The next morning I got a follow up call, which was great. Also we had a small leak after the installation and they sent a person out to fix it promptly. All in all I have to say they met or exceeded all of my expectations and I will be happy to use them again for my plumbing needs.

My parent's kitchen sink and bathroom faucets  are connected via the same pipes in the wet wall so the kitchen floor and bathroom sprung a leak at the same time. Water was leaking under the kitchen sink onto the floor and also in the bathroom and was bubbling up from the floor tile grout. The problem was a quarter sized hole in one of the pipes in the wall that was leaking onto the ground soaking the flooring.

Travis responded within minutes of my call to assess the problem, was very professional and wore protective masks due to covid. My mother has early onset dementia and was very respectful of her and her routines. He showed us how turn the water off and trouble shoot several areas just in case anything were to happen before or after fixing, but returned the next day and fixed the problem promptly. Travis had to refit the pipes, cut them and put new pipes with an expansion sleeve on it to clamp down.

After this job as done, my dad told me he was planning on fixing issues with his water heater and a company he was looking at (Anderson Plumbing in San Diego) was quoting him $1900 to fix. After seeing Travis' quick, professional work and talking to him about cost, he decided to bring Travis for the water heater job and after he finished, Travis charged my dad around $800, saving my (both retired) parents over $1,000.

My dad has been a mechanic and general handyman all his life and he said Travis did some of the best work he's ever seen, and coming from him, that means a lot! Would definitely recommend Travis and Vessel Plumbing to anyone who wants great, professional work done in an affordable and quick manor!

I received Scotts number from a neighbor that gave him a solid recommendation.  I contacted Scott by text message and snapped a few pictures of my water heater.  Within minutes he gave me a quote and a time frame in which the job would be done.  After checking with four other services, i found Scotts price to be one of the lowest (its important to compare apples and apples since Scott was also quoting an expansion tank which a couple of the lower quotes were not including...an expansion tank is required at our home). Scott arrived on time (after sending a text stating that he was on his way) and stayed within the four hour predicted time frame.  The finished product was excellent.  His work was clean and meticulous.  Scott was professional and courteous.  We are one week into the job and everything is running smoothly. I would highly recommend his services.

So you are reading this because like me, before hiring Carroll Plumbing I was in awe of all the great reviews.  Well, here's more proof that Mike Carroll is truly outstanding and caring.  I recently moved into a new home and we had a shower valve break, it would not shut off...ugh, and it was leaking behind the shower wall.   I was very concerned because the shower valve, trim and handle had no markings indicating the manufacturer and therefore it could be difficult to find the right replacement.  I sent requests for quotes to numerous plumbers and Mike was the only one who confirmed that identifying the valve is crucial.  He asked for pics and assured me if he couldn't identify it he had experts who could.  Mike recognized valve and contacted suppliers to find it.  I was anxious to get the repair done as we had shut off the house water main.  Mike was at another job, but allowed me get the part in order to speed up the process.  He even contacted the supplier to expect my arrival and have the correct parts ready. I texted Mike after getting the part and he called me and said he would gladly speak me through installing the new valve/cartridge, and thereby get our water back on ASAP.  Sounded good to me, so he instructed me step by step very patiently and in less than 10 minutes the job was complete.  That's it, I didn't have to pay anything to get the repair done, Mike helped me out of kindness.Truly a special caring individual with integrity and heart.  I can't wait to have a plumbing problem so I can repay him for his generosity.

Leon Mcirvin was fast and professional. As soon as he showed up he went straight to work and gave me 4 quotes and how to save money. I highly recommend his services if you are in need.

Extreme Home Services is the perfect name for this company! They are extremely professional. They showed up on time, were extremely knowledgeable, polite and thorough. Highly recommend them!

Just had several work orders completed with TDP, and they've been fantastic with providing prompt quotes, open availability, and top-notch communication flow throughout each work order.  I'm definitely looking to work with them again in the near future for other work that's coming up.  The whole team, particularly with Joel, has been very professional, safe and easy to work with.  Thanks TDP!

Gabe did an amazing job with my kitchen! I had a busted garbage disposal, a faucet that wouldn't turn, and a scratched up two compartment drop in sink that needed replacing. Gabe was very responsive to my calls and texts.

I had issues getting the sink shipped to me from Home Depot twice and ended up buying the materials in store. Gabe was very patient and didn't mind that I had to reschedule. If you need any plumbing work done, Gabe is a great handyman that can get the job done. I'll be contacting him for any future job I need done.

We had a clogged kitchen sink drain. I was referred to Affordable Drain Service by a neighbor and I'm so glad to have called them. The person who answered the call was very helpful and informative, and scheduled me quickly. Kyle, the technician who did the work, was incredibly professional, thoughtful, and thorough. He explained how our drain line worked, then had it cleared within a few minutes, and left us with sage advice on how to reduce build up and keep our drain working smoothly. Affordable Drains will definitely be my go to service in the future! Thank you Kyle and ADS!

Good, fast service, they came fixed the issue, called at 2:45 they got here 3:15ish, unclogged toilet and hooked up my sink hair issue lol and left by 4:05!!! Price fair!

I called with a clogged main line, Christian said he could be here in 20 minutes.  He showed up as promised, quickly diagnosed the problem, snaked the drain, wrapped up and he was off in 15 minutes.  What more do you want?  Fast, good price, polite, there you go, you have a plumber

Great service by Mr. Garcia! He responded quickly and was able to resolve our clogged pipe issue within an hour. We're very thankful he was able to come out in the evening.

I found the service provided by Associated Backflow Professionals/ABP Backflow to be very impressive.  It's easy to communicate with Jeffrey, the owner, via the ABP Backflow website.  Jennifer, the ABP staff member who carried out the test, was friendly and efficient.  The process ABP Backflow has set up wherein the unit owner sends in a pdf copy of the City of San Diego test form before the test date means it's possible for the test to take place without the owner being physically present (as long as any protective cage around the backflow prevention device is unlocked).  It also eliminates the risk that if the unit owner is present when the test occurs that there is a potential problem of no available form for the backflow tester due to the owner having misplaced it.  Kudos to ABP Backflow for the valuable services the staff is providing owners who need to get their backflow prevention devices tested!
