Avoid Big Time!!! I am an 15 year, Fully Licensed Insurance Agent, and was looking for a good plumber for myself and my clients to refer when needed. I own a rental property, and had Discount Plumbing come out today to give me a quote. It was a simple job, 3/4" small copper elbow, needed to be removed on home owner side of city water meter, and new one put in, as there was a pin hole leak. The bid they gave me was $1300, expensive, but then my jaw really dropped, when Hansel, the tech, told me another $500 because it was raining and they had to put up and umbrella to work. This wasn't a torential down pour! It was a light Fall San Diego sprinkle at best. I knew at this point that I was being had. The company not only lost my business, but the business of over 4000 households that I insure. I promply called another plumber, who completed the job in a half hour at a cost of $180. He did not mind the light sprinkle, and was so nice that I gave him a tip of $20. I though after being more than 9 times cheaper than this outfit, I was still way ahead. Do yourself a favor, keep looking if you land on their profile. Dave in San Diego. read more

This is the most dishonest scamming company I've ever seen!!!!!! I am 70 years old and They took advantage of me after stage three cancer and leaving the hospital afterf a month of which I almost died when I got home I had a leak. I called them and they came out. They told me I had to get financing to cover the 30,000 in expenses, and then bulldozed over me and then started the work of which they had to replace the pipes and they put them all in dry rot wood and we're going to charge me the full amount. I said you're completely scamming me. I couldn't believe my eyes. I got another company who couldn't believe it. I have pictures of all the rotten wood They put the new plumbing in. Thank God I was able to cancel the loan, but not before discount plumbing cashed the check the entire check I called the finance company and they made them pay the money back. and discount plumbing would not return their calls just like me.when I wrote to the Better Business Bureau They won't respond to them or me. The manager came to my house and offered me $6000 said he would be back that afternoon with a check and I never saw him again or would he return any of my texts or my phone calls of which I have copies of all that. just rotten crooked scammers who took advantage of a 70-year-old who just got over stage three cancer. I'm going to take them to court as if that wasn't enough I got stuck with an additional 12,000 in bills of garbage they ordered and will also sue them for that separately. Do not use these people. They're horrible. I will be filing charges in court this week coming up. Good luck discount you really screwed with the wrong person. read more

They sent out a super nice service guy - Abraham. Easy to work with. Showed up on time. Very impressed with his professionalism!

Corey with Discount Plumbing provided outstanding service. My hot water heater stopped working and flooded my laundry room. When I contacted Discount Plumbing, they immediately scheduled a visit to my home the following day. After identifying the issue, they ordered a replacement tankless water heater, installed it the following day, and had my family up and running with hot water soon after. Not only did they provide great service, they also provided me with knowledge to help maintain my water heater moving forward. Highly recommend using them for all your plumbing needs! read more

We had a sewage drain clog that was about 15 feet down from the toilet on the 17th floor of our condominium. I called on a Monday, and Discount Plumbing Rooter offered to send someone that afternoon. Unfortunately, our HOA has very strict rules regarding certificate of insurance, COI, requirements. Discount Plumbing Rooter worked with me to obtain the necessary COI's and send them over later that afternoon. On Tuesday, they arrived on time, giving me a 30 minute heads up courtesy call. They quickly diagnosed the issue, removed the toilet, and snaked the sewage drain. In a short amount of time, our bathroom was good as new. I highly recommend Discount Plumbing Rooter. Joseph & his team were punctual, courteous, professional and effective. read more

Abraham came by and listened to my concerns with genuine interest and knowledge! I would highly recommend!

The most expensive quote I've ever received for a simple plumbing job. Their discounts don't amount to much. I will never call them again for any reason. read more

!!WARNING!! I regret hiring Discount Plumbing. They're not cheap; people should read the one-star reviews before doing business with them. I hired Discount Plumbing to install an epoxy liner to replace my main sewer line; they asked for prices on other bids and said they would do it cheaper. We agreed on a price I was happy with, and everything was fine. Halfway through the project, the main sewer line was cut and cleaned, but they wanted to trench and cut another end of the pipe because of potential issues, which is fine. I expected some possible problems, but they charged me $1,000 per foot to dig, which is absurd. Because of my situation, I had no choice but to finish the project. They took complete advantage of me. No one should do business with them. read more

I just had a great and very professional visit from 2 amazing plumbers. Brandon Martinez and Abraham Ramirez were very good at what they did, and very knowledgeable. They took care of snaking the labatory in the bathroom, and also used a camera to look at old pipes that needed to be changed. It was a great experience, and I would recommend this company to anyone. Its refreshing to see this level of professionalism in today's world. read more

Abraham did a fantastic job snaking the main line of my third floor bathroom. He was professional and courteous and kept me abreast of the important details and progress. Would highly recommend and would hire again! read more

Don't use them. Only thing they did right was come out right away. Leak and clogged drain under the sink... which they could not fix. Even after taking the pipes off under the sink, mind you they lost the bolts to our garbage disposal, which in the end we ended up buying a new garbage disposal Bêc no one wanted to touch that and the maker of garbage disposal, does not sell the bolts. They snaked it and hydro jet and stated they couldn't get thru and water backed up and splashed out. So, the supervisor Jose came and they used a camera and stated that there is roots in the drain pipes. Hence, wanted to move forward to possibly solve the problem with tearing out a wall or break concrete to get to the pipes. Being a responsible consumer we got a second opinion. The second plumber used a camera and found no roots and no blocking. (We called discount plumbing (jose) and told them we no longer need their service and he was not that friendly guy we first met.) But to be safe and prudent, the second plumber, recommends Drain Mob who would have better equipment to see and he highly recommended they would be the one to correct the issue since it's a drain problem and since they are old pipes. They can even possibly do chain clean old pipes and even put new ones in with no demolition. Drainmob came, no roots, snaked it again, and hydrojet. All done no problem , no issue, no hydro jet water back splashing out. And guess what? It was cheaper than Discount plumber and job done in less than an hour. Had Discount plumbing done their job correctly in the first place and Jose did not try so hard to upsell us? We would've had our sink running over a week ago and saved money having to hire others to do the right thing and buy another garbage disposal Bêc Discount Plumbing misplaced the bolts. Don't use them! Update: It has been a few weeks since I posted this review. The day or two after I posted this review, my boyfriend received a call from the owner(claimed to be and he stated that the conversation was being recorded). He did say, that they are a family owned business and that he read the review. Don't quote me on any of this, but in summary, he stated that he would refund us for the service. We have given them plenty of time to do this. To this day? We have not received a refund. I would've been much happier to give an update that stated they are in fact upstanding and tho mistakes may have been made? At least they are indeed practice good business and ethics. However, this is not the case. Like from the beginning, we consider this as a great loss and lose trust to many others that we may deal moving forward. And will be more diligent in checking referrals next time with who we decide to work with. Again, don't use them read more

Called for an estimate to relace my water heater and they had Hector out here within 30 minutes. He gave me a better quote than another plumbing company. Hector was awesome, professional and knew what he was doing! He installed the water heater in our upstairs condo by himself. What a pro!!! Hector asked if I had any other questions and he advised on a couple other things like a filter for the shower and faucet replacement for our kitchen. I definitely will recommend Discount Plumbing SD and use them again for sure! read more

Josh was very pleasant and professional. He quickly and efficiently fixed our water heater, he didn't mind that I watched to learn, he answered all of my questions and gave advice to prevent future issues read more

Requested a drain be unclogged. From the moment he arrived he constantly tried selling other services i.e, water damage restoration, high pressure pipe cleaning etc. The drain cleaning was $325 but he gave me a military discount of $90. Service was $235. He said he ran the snake 25ft and it was still clogged. He said I needed a pipe cleaning service with high pressure clean out. They don't offer to fix your problem - only to ATTEMPT to try and fix them. So they say! Had my regular plumber come the next day and he ran the snake 6 feet and unclogged my drain for $75. Discount plumbers is a total rip off preying on those in need of plumbing services and offering services you don't need. Be warned these guys will take Advantage of you when you're down and out! The only positive thing was the kid they sent out was very polite and respectful. read more

Unfortunately on Father's Day my kitchen sink clogged up. We called that morning and by mid afternoon Hector and his apprentice Jonathan came out and fixed it quick. They were fast polite professional and even finished while my toddler slept. My kitchen is back in order and hopefully not too soon but if I ever need help again they will be my only call. read more

Joseph was outstanding! Helped us out on an emergency call and it was much appreciated!

We got a new range for our kitchen but the existing gas line was in the wrong position to properly install it. The guys at Discount Plumbing were fast, professional, and gave me multiple quotes based on the orientation of the pipe in the wall and the options available. They never tried to upsell me on extra services like some of the other companies I've talked to and they still gave me a better price than any of the other quotes I got. read more

Josh was awesome! Was able to come early and do the toilet repair quickly. He was also helpful in showing me some things. Would recommend.

I am so glad I called these guys! Harrison was out to my house within 30 mins of my request for a plumber and he had the problem diagnosed and fixed within another 30 mins. This was the easiest plumbing call ever! Will definitely be calling them again in the future. Thanks Harrison and Discount Plumbing! read more

Had an emergency leak and discount plumbing were quick to assist and fix the issue. Both Vincent and Roberto were a great help!

Discount Plumbing was very easy to work with. Hector L was my plumber and was able to clear out my sink drain and install a new garbage disposal very fast and efficient at a very good price too! I highly recommend him and this business read more

Had these guys come out and help me out with my leaking kitchen faucet. Came out to being a bad cartridge They swapped that out with a new one fast and at a very discounted rate. These guys are professional and very informative Thanks a lot jose and discount plumbing. read more

Joseph did an amazing job, trustworthy, quick and very nice! thank you I would strongly recommend read more

Vincent is very accommodating with my schedule. Thanks for giving me a military discount as well. I'm satisfied with their work. Thanks again read more

I can't recommend Hector from Discount Plumbing enough. He did a great job repairing my shower pipe and installing a new pipe, filter, and shower head. His work was meticulous and efficient, and he showed a high level of professionalism throughout the process. He clearly explained what he was doing and why, which I appreciated. My shower is now working better than ever thanks to Hector read more

It was great experience overall. Price was competitive and our technician Vince was down to earth, fixed the leak under the bathroom sink in no time. I'm happy with the result. Good work Discount Plumbing. read more

My rental property in San Diego had a water heater emergency which I wasn't made aware of it until the evening . A relative referred us to Harrison @Discount Plumbing Rooter. He immediately scheduled an appointment first thing in the morning. Before noon, he had already discovered the problem and replaced the water heater. Totally seamless and convenient customer service! Would highly recommend! Reasonable pricing and reliable service! Thank you Harrison! read more

Joshua called to advise he was available before our scheduled appointment and if it was convenient for him to arrive early, which of course it was and I was so happy he checked. He was courteous, knowledgeable and thorough, and advised what would happen in a plan A and plan B scenario before he even started any work. He was ultimately finished shaking our sink drain very quickly, and left the jobiste cleaner than we he arrived. I would definitely call him back for future work! read more

Discount Plumbing was referred to me by my contractor brother-in-law. I called around noon regarding a possible water leak and my two technicians arrived promptly at 3:00, as promised. Harrison and Gabriel were very attentive and knowledgeable. They performed numerous tests and explained each one. I was glad to hear the mold on my outside wall was not related to a leak - just a shady area near the sprinkler system. They recommended a bleach clean which took care of the problem. Harrison and Gabriel also helped me with a hose bib and made a couple of recommendations for the future. The value was absolutely great - it was all FREE! I already referred another friend to Discount and suggested she ask for Harrison and Gabriel. Excellent customer service! read more

My husband and I bought our home in 2020. The pipes are older than the both of us combined. We knew this would eventually be a problem. In 2023, discount came out and quoted us for new sewer lines and water lines and I decided with two young kids, the extensive repairs would disrupt too much at the time. Fast forward to 2025 the kids are more reasonable to manage and not QUITE as messy. After noticing yet another leak- we were finally ready to tackle the project. Discount sent out my original plumber to talk about the job. He remembered me and the house which was nice. I let him know I'd be gathering a few more quotes. Not only did Hector honor his two year old estimate he originally gave, it was the most honest estimate I received without any corner cutting or "work arounds". He aimed for doing things the right way which I appreciated. After talking with multiple companies, I felt most comfortable with Hector. Out of all the plumbers I met, he was just the most honest and trustworthy. So Monday- Hector, Gabriel, and Angel came out and worked constantly from when they got here until they left for 3 days- when the job was done. It was a big job with some hiccups. That leak I had noticed- ended up being a bigger issue than it looked to me at first. Hector could have made me figure it out on my own- instead he jumped in and helped me to get in contact with the right people who can handle the job as it wasn't a plumbing problem by that point. He didn't have to help, he chose to go that extra bit to relieve some stress, which was very appreciated. While this team was working, they were extremely professional, handled all my questions (and the incessant questions and meddling from my 5&7 year olds), Hector was constantly communicating, and always considering how to make us most comfortable. They were clean and went so far as to tuck in my outdoor chairs (that they didn't even use) for me every day and clean the floors just to make sure the areas they worked always looked better when they left, than they did when they came. I highly recommend discount, and this team specifically. They resolve issues and miscommunications seamlessly and the cost of the job never had any surprises. I will be getting in contact with Hector again to fully finish and tackle the kitchen & laundry sewer pipes next- again a job I've been saying "not yet, I'll do it in a few more years" because I'm nervous to put my kitchen and laundry out of work. Hector made the bathroom projects so easy, I won't have to keep putting it off anymore. I know he & his team will make it painless for me. Great job you guys. Thank you for all your help. read more

Prompt reply and great quality service. Hector pointed out issues with a hose leak with my bathroom sync I hadn't even noticed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a good plumber. read more

Long story short they assumed the worst and wanted begin restoration without even trying to help with the issue. All I needed was my toilet to be snaked. Problem fixed. The restoration guy they recommended was telling us to lie to our insurance to get our claim approved. That's terrible business if someone is telling you to lie. read more

Josh came out to service our water heater. It was leaking buckets of water and we had no hot water. He promptly changed the drain valve and got it working again. He clearly explained everything, including what it would cost if we needed a new unit. Thankfully we didn't. My family was thrilled not to have to take another cold shower! I will definitely call Discount Plumbing again. The customer service was top notch at every touchpoint...from the initial phone call to the scheduling, to the text message advising Josh would be the technician (including a picture of him), to him and Ruddy arriving - very personable and professional. They'll take good care if you! read more

Joshua is the best plumber ever!!!!! Very friendly, and got everything done very quickly!

Prompt response and next day tech came out. Fixed my toilet and angle stop valve in the kitchen.

Discount Plumbing was on time, professional, and solved my plumbing issue. Thanks to our technician Hector!

Absolutely great experience- Unclogged upstairs shower drain. Highly recommend for plumbing issues. Very professional and communicative from start to finish. read more

Prompt. Transparent. Excellent communication. Questions answered immediately. Friendly. Easy scheduling.

WARNING! This price gouging company is not professional! We.had them come out to clear a clogged pipe from the house to the main in July. Which we do as a yearly maintenance on this main. So we know the drill, how much it typically cost, how long the service lasts until the next maintenance call etc. After the technician was on site he called his salesman who came out to quote me a price for descaling and hydro jet. Sounded like a plan to last longer perhaps before needing a clear out again. NOT!!! They both leave to gather the equipment needed to do the job. 2 hours later the technician arrives and proceeds to start the service. He's finished in no more than 30 minutes. $2,399.00 and 2 MONTHS later we have the same issue with the same pipe. I called to get them out again, made the appointment for Saturday 10-12:00. No one showed. I called the office who said it was rescheduled for the next day and they tried to call me. LIES! No missed calls! & why not leave a message??? I honestly do not believe Discount Plumbing performed the service they said they did, (descaling and hydro jet) mentioned above. I do not recommend this company for your plumbing needs. Very disappointed. read more
