    After photo - new wax ring installed
    Bruski N.

    They quoted us $4,250 to fix our clogged toilet. I was at an event but our niece was there when they came to give an estimate. Seeing how young and inexperienced she was, they tried to pull a scare tactic when they lifted the toilet and saw some micro roots at the top of the drain. They claimed that the roots cracked the pipe and they must excavate the soil up to 3 feet deep to access and repair the pipe. Additional fees would be charged if they couldn't get a clean pipe cut. They also said that they would not be responsible for putting back the tiles that were removed to repair. Luckily, my niece contacted me and I was able to assess the problem from the photos that she sent. There were micro-roots but they were too small to crack the pipe. In fact, with all houses (especially old ones), you will find roots near any areas with moisture. Once in a while, these roots can crack old pipes and clog them up. But in our case, I could tell that the micro-roots came up from the outside of the pipe and started to cover the rim of the drain. All you have to do is pull, clear, and clean them out. I asked the plumber why he didn't do that but he insisted that the roots cracked the pipe and he must excavate the bathroom to fix it. By this time, I knew that we were being scammed, and I told him to just put it back so I could get another plumber who was honest and willing to do the right thing. He said fine but we owed them $500 for his work. I brought up their free estimate advertisement but he insisted the charge was for unscrewing two screws, lifting the toilet, using the snake to look down and assess the problem, and putting the toilet back. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but since my niece didn't know and thought it was part of the free estimate. I asked him how much less if he didn't put back the toilet. He called his boss and came back with $400 total for basically a quick 30-minute estimate/evaluation. After the plumber left, I contacted my brother-in-law. He came over to help out. We easily cleared, cleaned, and put back the toilet in less than 40 minutes. There were no cracks. My intuition and assessment were correct and saved us at least $4000 of our hard-earned money. It ended up costing an additional $14.83 for a new wax ring and a tube of caulking. A big lesson learn is that most businesses that use Discount as part of their names will usually charge you a lot more than whatever they are discounting. Don't throw your hard-earned money in the toilet. We are never going to use Discount Plumbing SD again!

    Pressure regulator in my garage
    Priscilla B.

    My technician Joseph M. Did a great job replacing my pressure regulator and ball valve. He adequately explained what the issue was and demonstrated how my water pressure was too high. He did the job quickly and we worked out a great price for his services. I would hire the company again for any future plumbing jobs.

    Tankless water heater flushing.
    Nacho R.

    I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tankless water heater flush service from Discount Plumbing Rooter, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Our technician, Javier Diaz, arrived promptly and was incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. Javier took the time to explain the benefits of flushing our tankless water heater, emphasizing how it helps improve efficiency and prolongs the lifespan of the unit. He meticulously and efficiently handled the entire procedure, ensuring that everything was done to the highest standard. I appreciated his attention to detail and care in protecting our home during the service. After the flush, Javier provided helpful tips on maintaining our system, which showed his commitment to customer education and satisfaction. Our water heater is now performing better than ever, and we have already noticed improved water flow and temperature consistency. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I am grateful for Javier's expertise and the excellent service provided by Discount Plumbing Rooter. If you need tankless water heater service, look no further--these are the professionals you want! Thank you, Javier!

    Under sink snake needed.
    Mark W.

    Roberto was great! Very helpful and was able to get us back up and functional quickly. From time I called to drain clear in under 3 hours on a weekend. Needed a more heavy duty snaking than I had tools for. Was also very helpful in providing info on the diagnosis and what to look out for in the future. Everything was put back together with care as well. Would recommend.

    Great work and service! Arrived at the house within the hour. Had what we thought was a backed up kitchen sink drain, but ended up being rusted / blocked pipes that took 6+ hours to fix. It was a tough job but they got it done. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff (Manny and Chris). Would use them again.

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.

At the end; however, when it came to the bill, I was initially quoted $250 Max which is relatively high in my opinion (I sent screenshots of the faucet listing so the owner would know what they're working with for a good market quote) and once the job was done, the owner texted the service guy that because it was motion censored that it would be $385 Max. Note: I sent the info of the faucet (to the Business Owner) before I agreed to the "$250 Max" which was already a pretty high ball price since the service costed the same as the faucet piece itself. To have the price at the end jacked up to $385 unexpectedly because the owner didn't do due diligence by looking at the screenshot provided and communicate pricing expectations correctly was very disappointing. Newest Update: The owner has reached out and has made efforts to resolve the issue. I am content with how things worked out in the end. The faucet is working spectacularly, so I'm very happy with the work overall.

Kevin O'Rourke was our service technician, and we could not have been happier with his work. All American responded quickly to our call, and Kevin quickly located and capped the leak to prevent further damage. He thoroughly explained our options, from repairing the immediate leak to taking preventive measures to avoid future in-slab leaks. After discussing the pros and cons, we decided to move forward with a downstairs re-pipe to replace any pipes that were in the slab, along with replacing our pressure regulator and several older valves. This was a major project involving rerouting plumbing through the ceilings and walls, but Kevin guided us through every step of the process. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always made sure we understood the work being done. It is rare to immediately trust a service technician you have just met, but we had complete confidence in Kevin and his recommendations throughout the project. After the plumbing work was completed, they also provided excellent referrals for stucco (thank you Carlos) and drywall repair (thank you Hugo at California Quality Drywall) to help restore our home as quickly as possible. I highly recommend All American Plumbing-Poway, especially Kevin O'Rourke, and we will definitely use them again for any future plumbing needs.
