My entire family uses this plumber, and for good reason. He's reliable, shows up when he says he will, and does exactly what he promises. His work is consistently top-notch, and he uses quality materials throughout. He's truly worth every penny--and then some. He has repaired and upgraded so much in our home, from major projects to minor fixes. He replaced our main water supply line, upgraded PVC to copper, installed new shut-off valves and a pressure regulator, completed all the plumbing for our bathroom remodel, installed a sink in our garage, replaced all faucets and toilets, and installed a new garbage disposal. No matter the size of the job, he does it all with exceptional craftsmanship. Thank you, A Second Opinion Plumbing, for all the beautiful work and reliable service. read more

Show up on agreed time. Also, find the exact problem and don't exacerbate the price thousands of dollars over. Now, I'm looking back at you advertising pictures. It sure looks like the person who showed up at my home. read more

I use Carlos quite a bit on my projects when I need a good plumber. He is always very personable and professional my customers always have good things to say! I would recommend Carlos because he's not the big Corporate company. I've found using mom and pop shops you always get better results for a fair price. read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY! He ripped me off. He charged me over 1,100.00 to replace less than 3/4 foot of 2" ABS pipe. I paid it and later found out from a different plumber that what he did should have cost at MOST 350.00! I am so mad. I would NEVER recommend this guy. read more

Carlos was great! Very responsive and walked us through every step of the process! Very thorough. A clogged kitchen sink near Christmas time is a no go and you can count on Carlos and second chance plumbing to hook you up!!! read more

Carlos was friendly and informative at the first call - and set me up for the next day. He came, calmly worked, was thorough and effective - and left me 2 cards. He did a great job hydro-jetting my kitchen line - clear as a bell! Honesty and work ethic win the day every time. Thank you Carlos - we will call again and refer too! read more

A Second Opinion Plumbing - Hydro jet - old food and time on this kitchen line makes for clogged pipes! - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me - San Bernardino, California

I needed help with a part that was incorrectly installed in my shower drain, by a different plumber. I called and spoke to Carlos he came out the same day saw the problem but was not able to fix it that day as we needed a part he had to get the next day. He showed up next day parts in hand and fixed the problem. He took pictures of the before that showed the problem and the after being fixed. We'll use him again for our plumbing needs. He was honest gave a quote and didn't pressure me into getting the job done. read more

Carlos at "A Second Opinion Plumbing" was great! He responded immediately in the evening to my inquiry for help regarding my very clogged, backed up kitchen sink, and he arrived promptly the very next morning. My kitchen sink was bad (after getting rid of Thanksgiving food -- and probably a build up over time). He was very knowledgeable, & explained in detail about everything that needed to be done to unclog our sink. I think he was fair, up front and honest. He gave us all his time for the morning and worked until everything was unclogged and flowing properly (draining water, using the snake, and hydro jet to clear pipes). Carlos also let us know we could call him anytime with any questions or concerns. And I think that's awesome customer service! I would recommend Carlos, and use his services again. read more

Carlos is an all-star! Helped with everything from beginning to end, including what equipment to buy! He's there to HELP not make a quick buck, and these people are rare nowadays. Great price, quick service and even better customer service! Can't say enough good things about Carlos! Thank you again read more

Carlos was very helpful and took care of everything needed. He also recommended future services that might be needed as well. Great prices and very friendly. read more

2ndOP was actually a third opinion, LOL, but he saved me from plumbers who either weren't prepared, or charged way too much. My House was having some weird plumbing issues. The toilet seemed OK, but when we were running the dishwasher in the washing machine at the same time, all the used water that was draining contributed to a clog that we didn't know was there yet. Out of nowhere, the toilet started bubbling and gurgling, and spitting out the used dishwasher and washing machine water. I forgot it all connects and drains underneath the house to the city sewage. So Plumber 1: Clears the clog with an auger cable snake. Unfortunately, and I didn't realize at the time, he popped out the backwater valve. A little tip is never let a plumber clear a clog without having first inspected it with a camera snake, and/or sensor. Because of this, it was randomly shifting around under there, and caused another clog. We called that same plumber, and he fixed it for free, but said we needed a camera snake, which he did not have. Plumber 2: This one does all the camera diagnostics and wireless sensor that helps locate where the back water valve was dislodged. At the time I was unaware of my front yard sewer access, and had just got the city water dept. to help me locate it. However, Plumber 2 was a big corporation, and they wanted to charge me thousands of dollars to complete the job. All they had to do was dig a hole and reattach, or replace the valve. I thought the price gouging was ridiculous, I needed a another opinion. Plumber 3: That's where 2ndOP tech Carlos enters the story. He gives me a fair price, gives me really good advice, and I decide to keep the existing part as it was nothing wrong with it, it literally just had to be popped back in. When I look back, it was originally just a paper towel blockage which would not have been a problem had the first plumber used camera equipment to discover how far to go, and not to go. Thanks again Carlos for a Quick and speedy job, and a fair price! See photos to know what I was talking about... read more

His prices are super fair and reasonable compared to the other plumbing companies around the Inland empire . Thank you again Carlos Best plumbing service. read more

I am so happy I found Carlos! We had an emergency and he came out the same day to help us out with a main line clog! We called about 10 other plumbers to send a camera down my clean out and they were quoting outrageous prices! Upon further research when I saw the title " Second Opinion Plumbing" on Yelp it was exactly what I need. Not only was his pricing fair but he also walked us through everything he was doing and explained how his equipment worked. We discovered some rocks in the main line and he gave us the best advice on removing them. He made sure all of our questions were answered before he left. Great communication! Thanks Carlos! read more

Carlos was fantastic. From our initial phone estimate, I knew his prices were fair and reasonable. He offered a few options to replace the pressure relief valve and main shutoff and had a much lower quote than others. I appreciate his time and understanding to explain everything. read more

My mom is having her kitchen remodeled and switched from a double drained sink to a single drain sink and needed the plumbing switched over. With all the frustration with the remodel, the last thing she wanted to do was spend extra money on plumbing when she assumed it was included in her price. After calling multiple plumbers in the area, we received multiple quotes that were absolutely ridiculously expensive. Carlos came the same day I called, gave us a very very fair quote, explaining all the steps he's going to take and how he's going to switch the plumbing over. He told us to message him when her faucets came in and he would install everything for her. He showed up on time, installed everything and my mom couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Carlos! read more

Carlos came out and assess the problem we had in the washroom. He was our second opinion and we hired him to do the job. He did an excellent job cleaning up after the job.

Called Carlos @ A Second Opinion Plumbing, I let him know my bathtub was clogged. I had already had someone else come out and take a look at it and they were not successful at unclogging the tub, should have called A Second Opinion first... Carlos came out and it was definitely very clogged but Carlos did not give up, he unclogged the tub and saved me lots of money ( by not having to break any wall to get to the pipes)... Carlos is very reasonable, an honest guy, with great customer service. I will definitely be calling him if needed, I highly recommend him. read more

My entire Water-main busted at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. I called several other plumbers at first but nobody was willing to come out until two days later to help me with my problem. I called second opinion plumbing and a gentleman named Carlos came that evening at 6 o'clock to inspect what was going on. He inspected the problem and fixed it. I will not hesitate to call this company again. It's hard to find honest people and Carlos was above and beyond helpful, friendly and determined to provide me a solution. 5 stars! read more

All our sinks were backing up in our house. Of course it's Christmas Eve and we have family staying over. While everyone else was quoting crazy prices, Carlos gave us a reasonable estimate. Carlos came on time (which is a huge plus), snaked and then hydrojetted (a must for grease clogs) within one hour. Now all sinks are working great and we can enjoy our Christmas Eve party! Don't hesitate to give Carlos a call! read more

Title: What they don't tell you is when your house settles, you will be doing a lot of DIY stuff. Second Title: DIY means YouTube YouTube YouTube My house has been giving me the blues lately. Preinstalled microwave short circuited and blew 2 fuses. Haven't replaced it yet, but it wont be cheap. 1 of the fuses beyond repair had to get that fix. Sprinkler System leaking and do not work. Had to get it fixed. Sprinkler heads breaking and flooding water everywhere. And of course, door knobs, light bulbs that are stuck due to heat, Some of the stuff I was able to do myself, others I needed to call for help. So yesterday around 6:30 p.m. I was minding my own business gaming and watching TV (its a skill) and my daughter comes into the room and let me know that the shower handle has been having issues lately and she just now want to let me know. I go in there and the water will not turn off. (Super Big Sigh) So I do what I have been doing in this situation with my house breaking right and left. Off to YouTube. So the issue (i found out after inspecting and watching a few videos) is that the cartridge inside the pipe behind the shower handle no longer works. The second issue is that my shower handle hex screw stripped so I can not take it off to get to the cartridge. Because the cartridge is broken, I can not turn the water off. So it forced me to turn the water off for the entire house. (Of course my daughter who is a Senior right now and the wife was not too happy about that) I just looked at them like of course I don't like it either, I shower just like everyone else. Found out that hex screws are steel so when I tried to drill a hole in it to use my screw extractor it didn't work. My drill bit struggled with it and eventually all it did was smooth it out even further. Because it is a hard steel my extractor could not grip it. I tried to drill the small hole to the hex screw to widen it so maybe I can grab it from the sides and no dice. Unfortunately, I had to sleep on it and no water in the house. The people in the house was not happy. I went to Yelp and used the feature that allows you to ask for help from multiple companies and went to bed. Fast forward to today. I called my home warranty who advised me that my issue isn't covered. SMH. I checked my messages from Yelp and 1 company said they can fix it but they wont be out until late and it will cost me $275 + $60 for a new handle. (At this point, i was aware that the only way to get the handle off with a stripped hex screw if your drill can't cut it is to saw it off.) Of course, my Senior daughter is graduating soon and me and the wife is taking her to Disney World. So I really don't have $335 to spend right now. Lucky for me Carlos with A Second Opinion Plumbing (fitting name I know) sent me a message and asked to see a picture. After seeing the picture he let me know that just like I feared from watching YouTube the handle will have to be cut off. He said that it is an unusual situation to have happen and said that he could come out, but since I already got my DIY on if I want i can continue my endeavor and he suggested a hack saw will do the trick. I figured I was already down the rabbit hole with all the drilling I have been doing so I went out and got me a hack saw and goggles and went to work. I was surprised that Carlos checked on me to see how things were going and even told me where to start cutting. After I cut around the whole thing and sent him a picture he offered to come to my home to check on my work. Even with the cutting I wasn't sure if I could pull the front of the handle off and Carlos snapped it off and let me know that everything else looks to be in good working order. (Well except for the cartridge). At this point with being so far down the rabbit hole to Alice I decided not to pay for service to have Carlos replace the cartridge. I figured I had my knuckles sore and swollen from sawing all day I might as well see it through and finished the project. At this point I am determined to finish this crazy project (still not finished I have to go buy the cartridge and the cartridge puller). I do appreciate Carlos taking the time out of his day to check in on my DIY project and providing pointers along the way. Thank you Carlos, I have your card and if I have a plumbing issue I can't DIY my way out of it, i will definitely give you a call. You are a good man. read more

I had some urgent plumbing repairs that needed to be made after a disastrous leak in my house. I called five plumbers for quotes and ultimately went with Carlos. His pricing was very fair, he thoroughly explained his plan for repairs, answered all my questions and finished the job the same day. I couldn't have asked for a smoother service. I would definitely contract him again and recommend his business. read more

Carlos was just great. Had a clogged line on my kitchen sink. He did the hydro-jet on it to clean the years of grease and buildup out. While he was there he reconfigured the piping under the sink and noticed the dishwasher wasn't connected to the air gap so he fixed it all for a very reasonable price. He was at my house on a Sunday within a couple of hours, and all done in about an hour. Couldn't be happier read more

I got in contact with Carlos because my bathtub was clogged. I gave him a time frame of when I would be available and he arrived on time.

Contacted Carlos for a "second opinion" regarding replacing shower valve. After describing the issue, Carlos questioned the advice I had received from several other plumbing companies. He was patient over the phone with me and described what he thought might be the issue. We arranged for a day for him to come check out the issue. He arrived on time and got to work. He identified the issue was the shower cartridge. Easier fix and less costly than the valve! He made a trip to local hardware store, got the parts, returned and fixed the issue. Cost was reasonable given the work and running to hardware store. Will call him again when I have another plumbing issue! read more

Carlos went above and beyond. He explained everything in detail and did an awesome job. I highly recommend him for any plumbing needs.
