    Ball Valve

    Called for an estimate to replace a sprinkler line supply valve. Fast response, fair price, and excellent work done at the time of the trip out for the estimate by the friendly duo of Salvador and Darwin. Kudos to Brooke and Ryan for a class business.

    The vanity they installed for us.

    Water backing up from bath tub when flushing toilet?

    Possible main line clog

    Hi how much for your hydrojet services ? also i have cast iron pipes still the house was built in the 40s is it safe to hydrojet?

    Hi Richard. Hydrojetting costs vary. We would need to see the condition of the pipes to ensure pricing and safety. We do offer visits to your home to assess in person.

    How do you get a pen out of a tolite its stuck?

    Use an auger

    I hired CM Jetting Services & Camera Inspections after talking to Carlos and telling me their…read morepricing was "extremely competitive." I had a feeling the quote was on the higher side, but I trusted that statement and moved forward. Shortly after, I started getting callbacks from other companies like Drain Mob and All American Plumbing and their quotes came in 30-40% lower for the same scope of work. That was frustrating. To be fair, Carlos seems knowledgeable and I don't have any complaints about the quality of the work itself which he deserves 5 stars. However, I do feel misled on the pricing (subtract 1 star) When I brought this up to him, instead of having a professional conversation and addressing the difference by offering to match their prices, he became defensive, raised his voice, and even called me "cheap." That response felt unprofessional and unnecessary (subtracted 2 more stars) Being told your rates are competitive when they're significantly above market and then being treated that way when you question it just doesn't sit right with me. If you're considering this company, I'd strongly recommend getting multiple quotes first so you can make a more informed decision.

    I spoke with Carlos over the phone to inquire about the branch pipelines and sewer of our house. He…read moregave me advice on what to do to save me money from repairs and for maintenance. I'm impressed w his unselfish knowledge-sharing and guidance. I believe he's an honest guy and care about his clients! I'll be sure to refer him w friends.
