Plumbers would come out, snake the line, clear it (temporarily), and leave me with another future back up problem. In my humble opinion, recurring clogs are the gravy train for some plumbers, so they do not have the hard conversations with customers where the problem may be solved. Hard conversations where you risk losing a customer because you tell them the truth and try to solve the customer's problem. Lalo explained to me, even though I was skeptical, that we needed to "jet" my lines, not just snake them. And, yes, I gulped and backed off as that was way more than I bargained for money-wise, but Lalo convinced me and I am grateful. He assessed, correctly, just where to dig for my lost sewer sweep. Once found, he showed me the tangled maze of roots overgrown and the source of repeated blockages (gross photo attached). He replaced the clay sewer sweep with a much more reliable and root-resistant ABS. Finally, I can flush without the constant worry of a backed up toilet. My shower actually empties, while I am showering. I am so happy and grateful. For the future, there's no other plumber I need to call, since it will be Lalo. Thank you, Lalo.

I called Salinas Valley after a recommendation and they were able to help me that same night. Super friendly service, and provided me with tips on maintaining the pipes. Loved it!! You won't regret it. Thank you Salinas Valley Plumbing!!

I am leaving a review specifically for Hector Rubio. I believe I left one a year or two ago on…read moreGoogle Reviews but wanted to leave one again after he was here today to perform another service. I believe Hector has been resolving my plumbing needs for about the last six years. I first heard about Hector when he performed a number of plumbing services for my daughter in her home. She is equally happy with his work. We both request Hector every time we need plumbing services. We are willing to wait for his availability because he has proven himself to be a true professional in so many ways. Hector is such a nice man. He arrives ready for work and completes the job in an acceptable time if not sooner. He is always so very pleasant. He doesn't get frustrated or upset if things don't go exactly as planned. He is very diligent and works hard to resolve the problem. He always succeeds in resolving the problem on the spot. Something that is also important to me is that I feel comfortable having Hector work in my home. He is so personable, kind and friendly. Even if I am asking him a question he continues to work diligently on what he is doing. He does not waste time the company's time. He also doesn't make a mess. He is careful to clean up after himself which I appreciate. As you can see, I like Hector. I will certainly continue to hire Alvarez Plumbing for all of my plumbing needs as long as Hector works there. He is a gem of a person and a gem of an employee!

When you have a water leak and you can't find it, you want someone responsive, empathetic, and…read moreproficient. My Flume kicked up an alert that I had a water leak, and sadly after much personal elimination, I realized it was between the house and the water meter. For most people, this would be a blessing, but for us, it meant around 300 ft of mains pipe that turned out was buried under the drive. I found the leak detection specialists who spent a few sessions narrowing down the root cause by eliminating all alternatives, and then set about pinpointing. Once done, they tapped Chase on the shoulder and he came up to sketch out the steps we needed to take. Shore up the anomalies at the meter then excavate the pipe, fix and backfill. I think we saw 2 or three of his crews and tbh they were all really nice people... My only frustration is my retro game tee was correctly spotted and in a weak moment I stupidly said I'd get chase one if he gets me sorted :-) .. Well he did and it arrives in a few days so I'll be texting you Chase ! I think we were in the top 2% on a scale of difficulty finding the leak as it was a small leak .22Gal/min, well buried and under Asphalt. Its not a quick thing to fix as we were technically without running water to the house for around 2 weeks ( I cannot articulate how painfully stressful it was or how little fun it was to manually turn on and off the mains to fill the toilets and sinks for the day ahead as a military maneuver with my wife and I). I hate spending money but with he level of professionalism from both the Leak detection crew and Clifton it eased my wallet pain and they just delivered at a level that reassured us we were in the right hands ! I dont think Clifton come cheap but they deliver and I have a goto plumber now !... thank you ...

UPDATE (1/4/2017): Shelly of Reliable Plumbing reached out to me and we had a discussion about my…read moreexpectations, the services and warranties that come with the $2800 water heater. The water heater comes with 10 years' maintenance and warranty. So the annual fee I was paying for flush/service is now included. Great! That saves me about $125/year. I believe this is transferable to the new owner (that's what our Reliable technician explained to me but I'll have to check my warranty papers and will update this review once I do). Shelly further explained that the technician sincerely believed I would have hot water for the night and they are truly sorry for the inconvenience. I'm a reasonable person and understand that we can't always control outcomes and it would seem in this case, the technician made a fair assessment but unfortunately the end result was unexpected (and inconvenient for me). In the end, I have a fabulous new water heater with an exceptional warranty (fingers crossed) and I've decided to keep with Reliable Plumbing & Heating so they'll be back later this year for our annual water heater & furnace check up/service. All's well that ends well. Thank you to Shelly and the good folks at Reliable for reaching out to me and making things right. Appreciatively! ORIGINAL post (12/7/2016): The 50 gallon water heater replacement cost $2769. Sure it came with a 10-year warranty, but for the cost I could've bought two! My appointment was rescheduled twice, and "Reliable" showed up on day 3. The rescheduling caused me to re-arrange my work schedule three times to allow for that 2 to 4 hour window required. The appointment required a return visit. I was left without hot water for the night and without warning. Bird bath for me and couldn't wash my hair. Washed my face in cold water. Terrible. Ultimately got a new water heater but with much inconvenience and cost. Expected better from Reliable. I received their thank you card. Apparently whoever completes those cards has no idea about the actual customer experience. There was no apology or awareness of my dissatisfaction, though I called twice to express both items. Hope next year's plumber (may use different company) will do better. I've used Reliable for over 4 years. What a shame this last experience was so deeply disappointing.

My response was I have had several companies out prior performing the same service and this has never been a problem. There is only one way into the corner. I went back inside and he continued to contact his office, was told over the phone that they are required to tell this to customers before work is performed? Never has any other plumbing Company ever said this or required this before snaking a drain. The service tech actually had to call the prior plumber servicing our home to get advise since that individual had done work in same area prior. (Also was never told of Potential damage by that technician) Came back from appointment to a Broken Landscape Light post, just left laying in the ground broken at the post below grade. Someone had to try very hard to break this and not to mention no use care lugging their equipment around sensitive materials. Really? This is the Best service this company can do? This is the bottom of the barrel Plumbing Company on the central coast. Having someone work for your company with this terrible attitude is first a reflection of the quality of service they provide. Having to verbally accept potential damage to our property over the phone is the second. They don't Care as their business comes automatically from Insurance companies that sub out the service so they get automatic business no matter what type of care they use in your yard during a service request.
