Was super excited to get a new refrigerator delivered today, only to find out it couldn't be installed because the supply valve started leaking. We had to shut off all the water to the house and were scrambling to find someone who could come quickly and not charge an absurd amount. The Yelp reviews for Carlson Plumbing were fantastic, and the service absolutely lived up to them. Not only were they able to come within the hour from my call, but the pricing was almost half of what I was quoted by several other companies. Gilbert and Logan were friendly, helpful, and quickly replaced the leaking valve and got our water back on in no time. They even offered to help move the refrigerator into its designated spot, which was definitely not part of their scope and very appreciated (we ended up declining, but the offer alone said a lot). They also pointed out a secondary water shut off we had completely forgotten about. Also worth mentioning, this was the only place I called where I actually reached the office and not a call service. I can't remember her name, but she was incredibly helpful and honestly saved us by getting someone out so fast, especially since we were without water at both our house and our attached rental. Carlson Plumbing just earned a new regular customer. Not a service you want to need often, but really glad to know who to call now. read more

Brandon and his team have been so helpful to both me and my neighbors through many of our worst experiences over the years. For example, tree roots once causeed our main sewer line to clog up just hours before a dinner party. No toilets, no sinks, nothing was draining! I received a call back from Carlson and a team of 2 was sent out within an hour. These guys had that thing reamed out and removed a bunch of roots in no time. They are a busy small business but when it matters most, they make it happen. Thank you to the whole team! read more

After Ricardo promptly came by and scoped and unsuccessfully hydro-jetted my plugged-up line, I could not reach Brandon to discuss optons. And they came recommended. read more

Consummate professionals. Efficient. Honest. Always have done the best jobs for me. Competitively priced. They have done many jobs for me over the last 20 years. I use only Carlson Plumbing now. read more

We had an issue with a clogged kitchen drain. I went online and found Carlson Plumbing which had 5 star reviews. We had previously used another good plumber but we had to sign up for them on a monthly basis. We decided not to do that. It's seldom that we need a plumber so we cancelled our subscription to them. Carlson Plumbing was an exceptional company. They responded quickly and were out the next day and fixed the clog in the pipe. They were polite, cordial and good looking to boot. I highly recommend their service. It took them a few hours to get all the crap out of the pipe and then found out it was also cracked. They replaced it with a new pipe. It was expensive but totally worth it to have a functioning sink read more

I want to thank this company for very good and honest work. They helped us when my husband and me were in a very desperate situation. The previous "plumber" Daniel Garcia charged money without any result and left . Mr. Carlson himself tested me and offered help without charging money. That was incredible! Thank you so much! read more

Manager for a well-knowm guitar company based in Santa Ana here. Have been using Carlson for at least 5 years now. Just had them do some work on our employee bathrooms today. Mason came out and got everything fixed up quickly and and neatly. Can't recommend this company enough. read more

Amazing company! We've been looking for a plumbing company to keep on hand for our homes and finally found the one! Jennifer was amazing in handling our urgent situation and made sure we were taken care of. Communication was top notch and service was quick, efficient and professional. Would absolutely recommend them to anyone. read more

New client here. Carlson Plumbing was recommended by a relative who has used them for several years. I decided to try Carlson because experiences with other plumbers over the last few years did not go well: - one plumber I had used was unreliable, sometimes on schedule and other times didn't show up as planned - another plumber was outrageously expensive, nearly double the cost of others Takeaways regarding Carlson: - Jennifer took the initial call. She was professional and courteous. She was able to schedule us for the first appointment the following morning. - Received a text informing me the technician was on his way with a link to track his drive to our home - The 2 technicians, Gilbert and Logan, identified the problems and worked as a good team to resolve the issues - They were good about explaining the corrections and keeping me informed as they worked - They did a nice job of cleaning up the area where they worked outside - The cost was about what I would have expected - I will definitely call them for future plumbing issues - I will not hesitate to recommend them to friends/family who are in need of a plumber read more

Carlson Plumbing is great. Mason went out to my parent's house last Monday. This company is licensed and insured. Mason was so nice and honest and they were very comfortable with him. They would recommend him and Carlson Plumbing and will use them for all of their future plumbing needs. read more

I can't say enough good things about Carlson Plumbing. We call them for all of our plumbing issues. Big or small they schedule quickly , show up on time and they even send a text with a picture of the plumber coming to your house which I really appreciate. Give them a call (714) 839-8566 read more

I needed someone to replace my water heater after it suddenly broke last night. I found Carlson Plumbing through Yelp because of their many positive reviews, and I can honestly say the 5-star reviews are well deserved! I called around 7 PM, and Brandon texted me back within 10 minutes. He first asked about the condition of the water heater (whether it was leaking, completely non-functional, or damaged in other ways) and requested a picture. After that, he provided a quote and scheduled a morning appointment for the next day. Carlson Plumbing truly cares about their customers. Kyle was the technician, and he was very patient and courteous. He arrived on time and even sent me a message before arriving. He helped me to replace the water heater and was very professional and efficient. He did a great job, leaving everything neat and clean. The price was reasonable. Highly recommend!" read more

Fast efficient service. They do what they say. I would highly recommend them. I called on the same day and they came out in the same day.

OVERPRICED DERELICTS. I've had work done from this company several times in the last 10 years and I have always been very happy with the work and price, until today. All I needed was a small copper pipe cut and reconnected 2 inches away. I told the employee I removed the watersoftner. He said they don't work on watersoftners. I told him I didn't need work on the softener because I had already removed it. He said if it was hard to get to it was going to cost a lot. I asked for another plumber because this guy had a bad attitude and just didn't want to work. They had me text a photo of where the work needed to be done. I texted them the opened access pipes 4 feet off the ground. THE JERK SENT ME A RESPONSE OF $400 FOR A 30 MIN JOB. I paid a plumber $75 to do this 30 min job. THIS PLACE WENT FROM BEST TO WORST. read more

Carlson Plumbing - Received text estimate $400 to cut and join these 2 pipes. Then owner lies on Yelp that they don't give estimates over phone. - Plumbing Near Me - Fountain Valley, California

Plumbing problems are not fun...MAJOR plumbing problems are worse. When we realized the slow drains were not getting better, we called three plumbers...you know, to get three estimates and compare diagnosis. While all three companies diagnosed the problem the same, (a broken line under the slab) and also recommended the same services for repair, we went with Carlson for a couple different reasons. 1) Customer Service, Customer Service, Customer Service!!! Can we talk about Mason for just a minute. This young man was on it. He communicated with us throughout the entire process (4-days of work). We always knew when he would be arriving and departing and he honored his word. He was beyond professional, always courteous and when the plumbing needed to be shut off, he was clear about the amount of time it would be off and he was early or on time with his time estimates. 2) Above and Beyond - we have artificial grass in front where they needed to dig one of the three trenches. Mason was careful in rolling it back during the work and even went as far to put it back together nearly perfect when the job was done. He even pressure washed our driveway and all other places USA marked for utilities. The trench required in the garage rendered dirt everywhere. We have indoor/outdoor carpet in our garage and we were okay needing to throw it out...that's how much dirt there was. Nope, not necessary, Mason and team cleaned it ALL up and vacuumed the carpet. No need to throw it out now. 3) Pricing - Carlson Plumbing's pricing was less than the other two estimates we received (the other two estimates were for exactly the same amount), and while pricing does come into play, we all know the old adage, "you get what you pay for"...but in the case of Carlson Plumbing, we got A+++ workmanship, A+++ customer service, A+++ professionalism, and A+++ pricing. Win/Win!! I don't usually write reviews, I know, bad on me...but in the case of Carlson Plumbing, I knew I had to. In fact, they barely left an hour ago. Highly recommend, you won't be disappointed. read more

I was looking for a 24/7 service. Mason came on a late Friday night for a broken shower knob. My shower wouldn't turn off. He was very knowledgeable and professional. He knew the problem immediately and took care of it. I highly recommend Carlson Plumbing and Mason. read more

Gilbert, Ricardo and Patrick were so helpful and kind. They fixed our toilets and flushed out our pipes. They were so patients and knowledgeable with all of our questions. They did an amazing job and cleaned up right after. We will be calling again for our next plumbing issues. Thank you so much for all your help read more

My first experience with Carlson Plumbing was in 2022 to fix a leaky knob in the shower. I was a bit anxious and had little confidence from past experience with contractors. I decided on a local family-run business. When they arrived and assessed the issue, I was quoted a number for the work and inventory. It was straightforward. It was good ol' honest work and it was completed efficiently. A few days ago, I had an issue with the toilet tank. I attempted through YouTube videos but realized I had a great experience with Carlson Plumbing. The appointment took little effort. They arrived on time and again, the work was done well. I am pleased with their company, their staff, and will keep them in my speed dial should I need them again. Thank you, Griffin, and thank you, Carlson Plumbing. read more

Carlson Plumbing has saved us twice!! They were professional, friendly, fast, & most importantly, affordable :) We had a drainage problem the first time & a suddenly leaking kitchen sink the second time. Really happy to have found them & would highly recommend their services! Thank you Jennifer, Griffin, & Kyle :) read more

These guys are great. Honestly can't see any reason to work with anyone else if you're in their service area. First had Carlson Plumbing come out about two years ago to look at a clogged shower drain issue that another company wasn't able to fix and were telling us we'd need to dig up and repipe the bathroom for close to $10k. Carlson Plumbing came in and cleared the drain out within a half an hour. Last night we started hearing our pipes banging in the walls. I resolved the issue temporarily but it started up again hours later. I contacted Carlson Plumbing in the morning and they sent a plumber, Mason, over here within minutes. His initial assessment was that our hot water recirculator check valve had gone bad. He gave a quote and I had him replace the valve. While it ended up being correct that it was not working properly, it wasn't the cause of the problem. So he continued to investigate and realized it was the thermal expansion tank on our water heater that had gone bad. Since the check valve wasn't the issue he provided that replacement free of charge and replaced the expansion tank. There's no more banging sound and the cost was the same as the initial quote. read more

I much appreciate the excellent response time and quality of service from these plumbers. They responded by text ON A SUNDAY, then arrived the NEXT DAY to clear the plumbing in my home of root clogs from a city tree in front of my property. Kyle and Gil were VERY patient and courteous as I explained the problem. Then they spent more than 3 hours using a hydrojetter to carefully cut away roots without harming the plumbing of my older home. The price for this project was quite fair given the skill and time to clear my plumbing problem. Now I can flush my toilet and take a shower without worry! Many thanks to Carlson Plumbing for a job well done! read more

Mason knew what he was doing and cleared the clogs in our old toilets and even told us what was clogging them and how to prevent it in the future. Thanks Mason. read more

Have used Carlson for a few issues. Ryan installed a water shutoff in front of my house, and Gil replaced 2 different toilet fill valves as well as found a leaking bathroom shutoff valve and replaced that too. It is so nice not to worry about the strange noises when I flush the toilet now! Great service, reasonable prices, very happy with this company. read more

Best plumber in Orange County! Always available, fair pricing and friendly service. All of their technicians are super knowledgeable.

We reached out to Carlson Plumbing to have two of our toilets replaced and a new shower head installed. Mason came out right away to provide a quote, and even fixed a minor issue with the hardware on one of our bathroom sinks while was here. The quote was quite reasonable so we hired them for the job. Mason and Patrick came back and installed the new toilets and shower head quickly and professionally. They were friendly, communicated well and cleaned up after themselves. It was a very positive experience and we will absolutely contact Carlson for any plumbing needs in the future. read more

Thank you Carlson Plumbing and Kyle for your service call yesterday. I called Sunday afternoon with the answering service taking my request. I followed up Monday afternoon as a follow-up and scheduled for a plumber to stop by Tuesday between 2-4 pm. Kyle was on time and very professional and nice. There was water dripping from the new tankless water and I had no idea why. Kyle found the condensation outlet wasn't connected to a drainage pipe. He had to cut out the drywall and plywood to make a T line into the drainage pipe and have a new pipeline to go in to drain (same drain where the washer is). Took about 2 hours for the work and problem was resolved. Thank you for explaining everything to me and for your great service! I will recommend Carlson Plumbing to my neighbors and friends. read more

Just a shout out to Carlson plumbing , I took their name off of one of the posts on next-door. They came today right on time, sending a picture of their employee who would be taking care of me, Kyle! He was great and when their employee points out something that you think you're gonna be paying for and tells you, this is OK just needed a little tightening...no charge! That's exceptional! he went on to fix two other things on my list, and I was so pleased and can't thank Carlson plumbing and Kyle enough! It's hard to find a good Plumber. I've gone through several so put them in your Rolodex! read more

Had some work to do around the house--faucet replacement, shutoffs, etc. Jennifer in their front office was really helpful and friendly. She gathered a lot of info and scheduled their tech, Mason to come out. Mason did an awesome job. His work was professional, he was courteous, and arrived on time. Jennifer confirmed the appointment and even sent a picture of Mason before he arrived. I wouldn't hesitate to call Jennifer and Mason if I ever needed work done again. Thank you, Carlson Plumbing! read more

Carlson Plumbing is my go to plumbing company for all my plumbing needs. I've used them at my home and my business and every time I've had a pleasant experience. By far the most honest and fair priced plumbers I've ever used. I will never make the mistake again by calling one of the big Plumbing companies that only want to upsell for services that are not needed. Thanks Carlson Plumbing!! read more

Great service from these guys. Easy to schedule, and on time. Kyle did a toilet install for me with a toilet I provided. It went smooth, and he did it quickly. Left the worksite clean as well. Thanks guys! read more

We were plagued with bad plumbing at our house from from the start, and Carlson Plumbing has done an extraordinary job getting everything fixed up and in perfect condition. I have been meaning to write this review for some time now because we've used their services so often, and if ever we have plumbing issues at work, I know exactly who to call. Kyle especially exemplifies the epitome of professionalism and punctuality, however I certainly extend that sentiment to the rest of the Carlson Plumbing team. Carlson Plumbing are experts in what they do, punctual, professional and easy to work with every single time, wish I could give more stars. read more

Great Rates. Friendly. Professional. Excellent Service. Needed a few repairs at a residential property. Mason was the experienced professional that responded. Gold Star. Couldn't be happier with the service provided. I've dealt with multiple companies in this area over the years, and Carlson has always had the best service for the best price. When they repair something, it stays repaired. Highly recommend. read more

Two of the kindness plumbers came out to help a damsel in distress !!! I had a water puddle in my front yards rock garden and I imagined a disaster coming from under my slab. Kyle and Ricardo found the problem; an old hose still attached to the hose bib that was leaking water. Honest gentlemen with a heart of gold!!!! I'll be using Carlson Plumbing in the future. read more

Carlson Plumbing was also in the Fountain Valley Magazine. We were very pleased with their promptness, free estimate, fair price ($100 cheaper than the one who has us text him a picture and then provided 3 confusing estimates). Will definitely recommend Carlson Plumbing to our neighbors since the one we were using retired. We had a problem with a toilet that required 2 hours of repair work. Perfect job! read more

These plumbers are great. They responded quickly and their customer service representative was easy to talk to. Price was absolutely reasonable. Highly recommend!!' read more

Look no further for your plumbing needs. Carlson responded quickly to my request for services, was able to stop by the job site within hours of our conversation, and did a fantastic repair job at a great price. Plumber Mason called upon his arrival, talked me through his diagnosis and plan for repair, and took care of everything in an efficient manner. Thanks Carlson! read more
