BOB THE PLUMBER was a blessing to my family when our sewer surrendered to its awful fate. BOB diagnosed our problem and went to work that very day. A massive job that required a trench dug right through our living-room, the front bedroom, and out to link with the city system. BOB's crew worked with a furry while maintaining a happy and professional demeanor. Everything in its place. Their work is pristine and the workplace was left clean after every day's work- so we could live in our home during the night, saving us the expense of a motel. BOB got the job done in an amazing eight days, with a keen attention to details. They covered our furniture before they began and showed the utmost care with our personal possessions. What struck me most about BOB THE PLUMBER was their great work-ethic, their good humor, and their impeccable honesty. In a very difficult time in the life of my little home, BOB's "Ryan and Brooke" gave us the confidence to go forward into a dark place, the satisfaction of seeing their rapid progress, and the pride they take in the quality of the work. I say they well deserve my praise and my hearty recommendation. "BOB THE PLUMBER -NOBODY'S BETTER!" Chris Ernest Nelson (Poet-Painter-Retired Teacher) Chula Vista, CA read more

Had an issue with a broken water valve. The valve wouldn't completely shutoff and continue to let water flow even turned off. Needed a replacement and Bob the Plumber replied with speed and sent a technician same day with quote and was able to immediately address the issue. Salvador was professional, answered all of our questions, put our concerns at ease and did a great job. He was also very on point with his time estimate. In and out within an hour. Great customer service as well! read more

Tommy from Bob The Plumber is A+++++! He gave me a solid quote and got the job done the same day. I just got my floor redone and my toilet flange was sitting super high. My budget was super limited since I just had my floors done and he gave me a best case, worse case, and absolutely worst case scenario price points and he was able to get the job done smoothly with the best pricing I could've gotten. He kept me updated on how things were going and didn't need much direction to get things to where they needed to be since he was so knowledgeable. All the other plumbers I called for a flange repair were ridiculous and the pricing here was more than fair. Tommy did great work, fixed everything up perfectly, was trustworthy, and did quick and efficient work given the scope of the project. All in all, I would absolutely recommend Bob The Plumber - hopefully Tommy will be your technician because we had the best experience with him. read more

Quick and efficient service, great customer service and great pricing for service. Will definitely recommend and use their service in the future. Thank you. read more

I needed to have a garbage disposal replaced. I purchased two units since one had a longer warranty and more horsepower. Friends of mine had recommended Bob. They used him a few times and really liked his work. They said he's honest if he can do the job or not. Bob was on vacation when I called so I left a message. He called texted me on Sunday asking if I still needed a plumber. I asked for the quoted price and his availability. He said he could be there by 2pm on Monday. Bob called to see if he could come earlier since he was able to so I agreed and had my tenant available to let him do the work. He finished before I arrived. He installed the 1/2 hp instead of the 3/4 hp. He explained that the 3/4 would have destroyed the sink since it wasn't that big or strong enough to handle the horsepower. (I loved that he explained the reasoning to which one was installed. I'll explain a previous experience in a moment.) Overall I'm happy about his work and will keep him on my books for future repairs. (I had a different plumber (California Plumbing) the week before who said that the install of the new unit was missing a piece and that it would take him an hour to go to Home Depot to get it. Home Depot is less than a 10 min drive (less than 2 miles.) His price was going to double so I declined. Plus, he said I could install either unit when I learned from Bob that this would have destroyed the sink with the 3/4hp and it would probably cost me over $1k to fix it if I had this guy install it.) Call Bob for your plumber needs. Honest guy who knows what he's doing. read more

Gas company changed a regulator and said there was a leak on my side of the meter that needed to be fixed. There was no leak prior but now there was. All that was needed was a "T" to be tighten and plumbers dope added. I received three quotes $350 - $450. I thought that was high as no new pipes needed to be added and this was only labor. When Bob the Plumber's contractor came out, it was really nice. He stated he like me and would give me a good deal. The "Good deal" quote was for $2000! I questioned him how long would the job take and what material would be needed. He stated, "less than two hours and no materials." I asked him who makes $1000 per hour? I would hate to see the quote if you didn't like me and I sent on his way. The Gas company said it should have been a $200 job but Bob the Plumber wanted to charge 1000% over what the job required. I will never use this company as they are a ripe off. BTW, upon reexamination, the Gas company discovered there was never a leak at all. read more

We have been customers of the original "Bob and wife team" from Bob the Plumber and Ryan and Brook did not disappoint. Not only did they save us when our very old water heater gave out on at the end of the day and on a holiday, they made sure we didn't feel like we were being rushed into a decision. You do not find this level of customer service anymore. They were friendly, knowledgeable and made sure we made an informed choice. read more

Great service, even came earlier than expected. Great service and price. I will definitely call Bob the plumber for any plumbing needs.

Bob the Plumber is excellent to work with. (FYI Ryan is the actual plumber with Brooke handling the business part of it). The service was fast, extremely responsive, friendly, TRUSTWORTHY and affordable. We had a leak in our home in a very difficult place to fix. He provided his recommendation and referrals of other companies that can come in and assist with getting the entire project fixed (parts of kitchen removed etc). A pinhole leak can cause major problems and they were on-it! I felt I was in good hands with Ryan and Brooke. Highly recommend this team and will come back to them for projects big and small.... read more

Bob the Plumber - leak within the walls - Plumbing Near Me

Ryan, Brooke, and Joaquin were incredible and treated me like family. I had a gas leak detected by SDGE, Ryan and Brooke personally came down almost right away when I contacted them and looked at the premises - they made a WAY better repair recommendation and estimate than any other other companies (if I went with any of the others, I'd likely not have gas in half my house!). They made a plan, helped me coordinate with all other services needed, and made the repairs VERY FAST! They were SUPER good at communication, and the final price was exactly what they promised. I will ABSOLUTELY be using them again. Joaquin came and did a lot of the repairs, and he regularly checked in with me and made sure I understood and agreed to services. They made the repairs not only in a timely manner, but extremely professionally and high quality repair work. They helped me move appliances, and put everythig back together. They checked that everything is working, and they prioritized me like I was family. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THEM!!! They are organized, professional, compassionate, and treat you like a fellow human being. The entire experience was comfortable and I trust them. read more

I had a water heater coupler go out some time ago, and I called these guys a hand full of times for advice because I didn't quite have the money to pay the piper lol. They gave me a few tips on how to keep the thing ripping for quite some time. When I finally had the money, they came out I was greeted by a very polite couple, who changed out my water heater in about two hours. They cleaned up their mess (and my mess) better than when they came to my home home, hauled off the heater for me because I didn't have a truck. I don't think that normally comes with the service so I definitely appreciate them going above and beyond, especially for the price and time they completed the project. My water heater is ripping and roaring! Oh, I forgot to mention, they don't BS you on what you should get, this water heater is bad A**. Its never cold and I actually had to turn the thing down. Super stoked on their service. read more

Bob retired and I was nervous about it but Ryan came to the rescue. He and his wife were on time and up front with pricing. We'd hire them again! read more

this review is different from my original one a few years ago. I called to get a toilet replaced and asked if it was Bob. Some guy said "I could be", hus voice was NOT Bob. I told him which toilet I wanted and he said "you go buy it, I'll install it", very hurried and un-professional and unfriendly. No thanks, I miss big Bob in the previous photo, nice guy. read more

Ryan and his wife were communicative, prompt, clean, and fair with their pricing. Not as cheap as Bob but worth it. 5 star service. read more

Yesterday, water was coming out of the overflow valve of my Kenmore water softener, causing a slipping hazard in the garage. My Kenmore technician suspected there was a leak in O-rings inside the bypass valve connecting the inlet and outlet lines to the water softener (which is under repair). He recommended that I contact a plumber. When I asked Ryan and Brooke if they could come immediately, they were able to squeeze me into their already overloaded schedule. Instead of replacing the push-knob bypass valve with another one, we all agreed to install 3 ball valves - one each for the inlet, outlet, and bypass lines. When the new pipes and valves were installed the next day, not only did the leaking stop, but the configuration was truly a work of art! Very nice! I'm very pleased with the work. I would recommend Ryan and Brooke to anyone seeking a competent, experienced plumber who takes pride in his work and in fulfilling the requests of his customers. Well done, Ryan and Brooke! :) read more

Installation of Moen Flo Automatic Water Shut Off Valve which I purchased from Costco.com. This company is owned by Ryan (who will be your plumber with nearly two decades in the trade) and his wife Brooke (who is the scheduler). Both are kind, honest, and unassuming. Personalized service; no huge team/overhead to support. Ryan came in with the most competitive quote, beating out three other highly rated plumbers. Attention to detail: Before installation, Ryan tested my pressure relief valve (important for the Moen Flo to work correctly). To fit my valve at my water main, I needed to add more length. Ryan does plumbing the classic way, by sweating and soldering the copper pipes as long as the space allows for it. (I much preferred this over press fitting that other plumbers use). His lines were clean and well soldered and he even re-tightened / re-checked the press fittings that a previous plumber had done on a different section of the line. I plan to be a repeat customer. read more

I had Bob the Plumber come out to install new washer and ice maker valves, as well as Moen bath and shower trim for two showers. Tommy, the technician, did an excellent job. He was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the entire process. The installation was seamless, and everything works perfectly. Brooke, who set up the initial consultation as well as the appointment, along with Tommy, took the time to explain the work and ensure my questions were answered. I highly recommend Bob the Plumber services for anyone in need of quality, reliable plumbing work! read more
