Highly recommend De Mars Plumbing! Had a pipe burst and they came to the rescue. Scott was responsive to my call and came within 30mins. I was afraid we'd be without water for the night. He got the job done in a timely manner, but most importantly, a job well done. Friendly and honest service without overcharging. I trust them enough to use them again. read more

Really happy with the work. They were on time, easy to work with, explained everything clearly, and fixed my laundry drain issue. They made sure everything was working before they left and cleaned up afterward. I'd definitely recommend them. read more

Scott and Steve gave us a lower estimate than the others to hydro jet our clogged drains. They did the work and came back to finish it when they had equipment trouble. I liked their honesty and that they tried to save us money where they could. The drains are all clear and I may use them again when we decide to move ahead to the next stage.

My mother used Scott for a plumbing issue and they arrived on time and were very friendly. They dealt with a more complicated situation and didn't give up or make excuses and got the job done. Would highly recommend read more

I'd give De Mars Plumbing 5/5 for responsiveness, but closer to 3/5 for the actual work quality, which is ultimately what matters most. I first reached out because we had three issues: our dishwasher sink was clogged, one of our showers made a very loud screeching noise when turned on, and another shower head had a small leak. Scotty and Steven came out quickly for a free estimate, which I appreciated. The quote seemed fair (though in hindsight, probably would've been smart to get a few comparisons), and they scheduled the work just a few days later. They were both very professional and responsive throughout, and the initial visit only took about an hour and a half. At first, it seemed all good but later that night, we realized the problems weren't all actually resolved. Our faucets suddenly had really high water pressure (on sinks that weren't even touched), and two of the original issues persisted. To their credit, they were quick to respond when I reached back out. They came back within a couple of days and essentially redid much of the work. This time, they were able to fix two of the three issues. However, the shower that makes the painful screeching noise still does, even after replacing the cartridge (which I believe we were charged for). They explained that fixing it completely might require a bigger job, like drilling into the closet wall to access the plumbing - which we're holding off on. Still, it left me questioning whether the cartridge replacement made sense if the problem was bigger than that. A couple of other things I wish were different: I never received a detailed invoice or written breakdown of what each repair would cost, which would've been helpful for clarity. Also, while they did kindly replace one shower head free of charge, the fact that the work had to be redone and one main issue remains unresolved makes it hard for me to feel fully satisfied. Overall, I do think De Mars has good people who care about their work, and I appreciate how quickly they respond. But based on my experience, I'd recommend making sure to get everything documented up front and possibly getting a second opinion before committing. read more

Very professional and fair with his prices. They replaced water heater and did an amazing job!

Scotty has helped me out twice now, both were on a Sunday. Gave me a fair price and fixed the issue (clogged main) both times. He's also helping monitor and giving me advice on how we can replace in the future when it is time. read more

I have had a couple experiences with De Mars Plumbing and all have been very positive. Scott and his team have been very responsive, always keeping me up to date as to where my project it. They maintained a clean area while performing the drain work, and ensured everything was cleaned up after. I had no clean up to do because they not only fixed my drain issue, but they also ensured to maintain a clean environment. Very respectful. My issue are not what I would consider to be run of the mill, but they always managed to complete the work quickly at a reasonable price. read more

Scotty and his colleague repaired a clog in my kitchen drain line. They were both courteous and professional. I am saving this number for all my future plumbing needs and will recommend this company to neighboors and friends with plumbing needs. read more

I needed a mainline shut off valve and a pressure regulator. Did my usual Yelp search and luckily De Mars posted a pic of exactly what the Dr. ordered. This enabled us to have a succinct discussion. Scheduled with Scott who squeezed me in. He arrived at the property minutes ahead of me and called me to start, which of course I gave permission. The work was completed at a fair price just as we had discussed. I found De Mars Plumbing to be professional and lucky again he was accompanied by his summer vacationing tech savvy son who is ahead of the learning curve. read more

A MUST READ POST! *5-Star Review: De Mars Plumbing & Drains* SHOULD BE A 10 STAR REVIEW! I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience with De Mars Plumbing & Drains! After being quoted an outrageous $2300 by Elite Rooter (3485 Pickwick St, San Diego, CA 92102) to clear a kitchen sink clog, I panicked and called my homeowners insurance and they do not cover plumbing services inside the home. Stress and frustration sank in. where does a fixed income senior or anyone get 2300.00 to unclog a drain? Desperately, I sought a second opinion. Thankfully, I contacted De Mars Plumbing & Drains, and Scott, the owner, provided a transparent and honest assessment. He suggested using a hydro power tool to clear the clog, but Joe, the technician, successfully did in just 10 minutes using two types of snakes! I saved a staggering $2100.00 thanks to De Mars Plumbing & Drains' expertise and integrity. This experience highlights the importance of seeking multiple quotes and being cautious of predatory practices that target seniors. Kudos to Scott, Joe, and the entire De Mars Plumbing & Drains team for their professionalism, support, and commitment to fair pricing. I highly recommend this family-owned business to anyone seeking reliable and trustworthy plumbing services.619-389-6535 My fellow neighbors... *Beware of Elite Rooter's predatory practices, and always prioritize second opinions!* San Diego Gang Commissioner San Diego Human Relations Commissioner 8 years Citizens Review Board on Police Practices 8 years Educator 30 years retired seven years read more

We are grateful for the helpful comments we found on Nextdoor that led us to call Scotty at the last minute to install a couple of faucets at our house. My work schedule is crazy, and I only had some time on a Saturday afternoon. I called him around 2 pm. He was busy with another job but he promised to come by later that evening. He called us back at around 6pm and did the work professionally and charged a reasonable price. He also pointed out some other things that needed to be done, some of which we were aware of, and he was honest about everything. We will call Scotty again when we want to fix those other issues. read more

Scott De Mars is great to work with because he is trustworthy, prompt, competent, and willing to help at his best. I will be using him for future plumbing projects. I highly recommend him as easily accessible for work and emergencies. read more

Giving two stars because of previous experience but this last turn around the service was a disaster. He quoted $100 for a faucet change with owner supplied materials then charged $195. Which we paid. As soon as he leaves there are hot water supply leaks and drain leaks. Called Scott back within 20 minutes and he claims he is already in Campo, he was in Mission Valley 20 minutes ago. Well he got paid, so ignore the customer. Paid $13 cheaper than paying Lowe's to install same faucet but a mountain of headaches and no warranty or backing of their work. read more

See all

Great service, good and honest people. We will definitely contact De Mars again should we have any plumbing needs.

Scotty communicated well and arrived on-time. He is very knowledgeable on all yard drain and sewer related issues and he quickly found our problems. The pricing for hydro-jetting work is very fair and he is quick at what he does. Simple and cost effective for us. We will have him back for future maintenance and general plumbing needs. Thank you De Mars Plumbing & Drains! read more

I had a plumbing emergency tonight at 7:20. I called DeMars Plumbing and Snaking and they were here at 8:00. They were efficient and even cleaned up everything after. AND the price was great and the same as if it were regular business hours. And they snaked out a small drain near by without extra charge. If you need a plumber I can recommend De Mars totally. Thanks Scott and your associate too. Great job. read more
