    New Toilet (1 of 2)
    Jocy C.

    It's about time that I write a review for California Plumbing. Background: I had purchased a condo in December 2022. There were lots of "old" things in the condo that needed fixing. At the time, I had homeowners warranty, so I had used that to replace the parts within the toilet. The home inspector had already mentioned at the time that toilets needed replacing at some point. I only knew that the condos were built in the 1980s. I just didn't want to spend the money if I didn't need to yet! The Call & Quote: Fast forward to May 2024 (about 1.5 years later), one of my toilets finally started leaking again. I had already decided to just get both toilets replaced. A quick Yelp search, and I found California Plumbing with 5 stars and over 400+ reviews. A quick call - and they sent someone out fairly quickly to do a quote. *Note - as a female, I totally appreciated that they send a picture of the technician that they are sending to my house*. I also appreciated that the technician gave me 2 quotes (one for fixing the broken parts and one for replacing toilets all together). The broken parts were antiquated, so it would have taken a while to find without guarantee that it may break again in another 1.5 years or so. Service: Since I had 2 toilets, I wasn't in a rush to get it replaced that same day or next day (even though California Plumbing offers that service). I just called and made appointment for that following week. The day of, 2 technicians show up. Toilets were replaced one by one. They cleaned up everything (threw out the old toilets, swept the floors, etc). No mess was left behind! Cost: Cost of toilets & installation was within the range (based on a Google Search / Forbes Article). Conclusion: 100% Professional. 100% Recommend. THANK YOU!

    New water pressure regulator and new water main shut off
    Ken W.

    My mom and I had a leak in the bathroom pipe that affected adjacent walls and floor. I reached out to a few different plumbers to get their opinions. California Plumbing sent out Hilario for an inspection. I was really pleased with his knowledge when he took a look at the house. Some other plumbers automatically assumed it was a roof leak because it had rained a couple days but Hilario actually took the time to check out other possible options regarding the leak. He noticed our house did not have a water pressure regulator which is important especially in older houses. Other plumbing companies were charging $1500 for a water pressure regulator installment where as with California Plumbing it only cost under $1000. I was really pleased with his inspection so I decided to go ahead and schedule a leak repair with him. Hilario was able to find the leak pretty quickly. He got the leak repaired and installed a new water pressure regulator to the house. California Plumbing also said the repair is under a year warranty which is a major relief. I'm am extremely satisfied with Hilario's work and California Plumbing. I definitely recommend California Plumbing for any of your plumbing needs

    Ask the Community - California Plumbing

    How often should water heaters be serviced or replaced?

    Water heaters need to be serviced every year. Replacement is more flexible, it could be 5 to 12 years but as a piece of friendly advice if you do the maintenance every year and you have no problem, don't replace it!

    Do you offer any environmentally friendly or energy-saving plumbing solutions?

    Yes we are offering tankless or heating pump that saves a lot of water. Great for your water bill and the environment!

    What should I do if I suspect a gas leak?

    Turn off the gas meter immediately and call us at (858) 727-3295.

    What are common signs of plumbing problems that homeowners should watch out for?

    Low Water Pressure, drain backing up or recurring smell from drains or sinks are all signs of a clog, leak, or other issue that likely requires a professional plumber to help solve.

    Do you offer plumbing for commercial properties or only residential?

    Yes, California Plumbing offers residential and commercial plumbing throughout San Diego. Thanks for asking Lauren!

    Has anyone had them do a gas line to a barbeque or pool heater repair?

    Hi Ladaire, Aaron and his crew have run a few new gas lines for us. He did one last week for a…

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.
