Finding a good plumber is always a hassle... finding an excellent one is next to impossible! But I was lucky enough to meet one, and the service was above and beyond any standard you can imagine. Although he had a full booked schedule, Mark was kind enough to accommodate the visit and doing the job the same day I called within less than an hour. He has a very pleasant personality, knowledgeable in his job, very clean and neat and super "efficient" and fast finishing the fixture in my home. On top of all of these he charged me less than half, yes less than 50%, the price the previous plumber gave me for the exact same job. That was the best service I've ever had...! read more

Outstanding service! I was having toilet trouble last week and called about 6 people, Mark got back to me right away, I asked him for an estimate and he told me to take a picture and send it to him via text. I did just that, and he called me back within 5 minutes and said it was an easy fix and that he could just tell me how to fix it over the phone! He was right on the money, it worked like a charm, and the best of all, it was FREE!!! He also said if there is still problems to call him and he gave me a very reasonable quote. Highly recommended, professional, friendly, efficient is the right word!!! Thank you Mark!!! read more

I'm very picky with the home maintenance professionals I hire, both in terms of proficiency and professionalism. I'm also a somewhat advanced DIY'er so I have enough know-how to judge good craftsmanship. I didn't have time to take care of a few leaks under my kitchen faucet so I called Mark and pointed out the problem. He arrived on time, worked fast and clean, and in less than an hour I had a new drain, drain plumbing, and food waste disposer. It would have taken me half a day! I inspected his work after he left and it was absolutely by-the-book perfect. The price I paid was very reasonable and certainly worth the excellent work. After going through several so-so plumbers I finally found my guy. read more

Great work and fast! Mark has done a couple jobs for me and I'm very satisfied with both. My go-to plumber from now on! Deke read more

Thanks again Mark for fixing our shower faucet valve today on such short notice.....Efficient, Professional, Reliable & Reasonable is my recommendation to others about your services! Everyone needs to have you on speed dial, we are so glad we do! read more

I'm happy with Mark's service. As part of a remodel project, we had a drain that need to be reconfigured. Once we had the appointment squared away, Marked arrived on time (very rare with contractors these days). The job was performed diligently and at a fair price. He even wore shoe covers to prevent staining my carpet. A part of the job was quite a bit complicated and right away Mark informed me that he isn't properly equipped to do this part of job. He quickly referred me to another plumber and even made an appointment for me to come out the next day. Others may look at it and literally bite off more they can chew, charging into the project only to get problems left and right... So, its a sigh of relief, ahha. Tips: Mark is a very well known company here, so appointments may be couple days out. However, well worth the wait. Send detailed picture message for him to evaluate the project! read more

Hector was on time and efficiently fixed our clogged drain in our master shower. Very satisfied with this company, we will definitely use them exclusively for our home plumbing needs! read more

Very quick in responding to a water pressure issue in our Irvine home, and the technician quickly isolated the problem. He quickly went to purchase the part and replace it, which required soldering. Fine job; excellent service. We have used this company for over 15 years, but they have changed ownership and have maintained their quality service. THANKS read more

My hot water heater went out Wednesday morning before Thanksgiving. As you can imagine, it would have been a disaster not to have hot water over the holiday weekend or I would have had to pay double installation fees... Efficient Plumbing sent someone out within an hour and 4 hours later a new hot water heater was installed and back in business for the holidays! read more

The name is perfect. Chris did a fantastic job snaking my upstairs drain. He was very communicative and punctual. I highly recommend Chris at Efficient Plumbing read more

Often when companies have words like "Best", "A1", "Affordable" etc. in their name, they aren't. Maybe that's what they aspire to be or maybe they are just misrepresenting themselves. In the case of Efficient Plumbing, they are efficient in every sense of that word. On-time (or let you know why it is taking longer), knowledgeable about plumbing and they do a great job at a fair price. I have used various plumbing services over the years, some good, some not so good, but I'd have to say Efficient Plumbing is among the best, if not THE best. I had a dripping shower/bath combo faucet that within a short period moved from a slight drip to something more serious. Also had a couple toilets that were doing the 'ghost flush' thing -- making noise in the night and wasting water. I texted Effcient Plumbing (their preferred way of contact - although you can call or e-mail as well). Mark responded within a few hours, but indicated he was booked solid for a couple days. I wasn't in a major hurry, and given the good reviews here on Yelp, wanted to give them a try. I booked his next available slot. Mark arrived on-time. Once he had a look at the shower/tub faucet, he identified possible causes and fixes, from worst case scenario to best case. The fixtures were an off-brand, so he indicated if parts needed replacement, he might not be able to get major parts and might have to replace it. At the low-end was something simple like a washer failure (but that seemed unlikely). Once he started the work, he determined it was a combination of the washers and seatings. Replacing just the washers would do no good, but presuming he could find seatings that fit, it would not be major either. He had to do some hunting to find them (and let me know why that took a while), but was successful. After the repair (which didn't take too long), there is no leaking and the handles are better aligned and work better than before. He also advised how tightly to close them so as to shut off the water, but also not wear out the washers and/or seatings. He replaced the flapper on one of the toilets (a common Kohler model) and adjusted the second one, which is also a Kolher but a Lowboy model which he didn't have a flapper for at the time. He said he'd get one and stop by to replace it next time he's in the area -- at no additional service visit charge. Overall Mark was very knowledgeable about products and repair procedures, explained things well and was pleasant to work with throughout the process. I will definitely use Efficient Plumbing again and recommend them to others (via Yelp and personal word-of-mouth). read more

Just another satisfied customer here ... Called Efficient Plumbing (which is actually just a one-man operation, run by Mark) to get a quote for running a natural gas line to an outdoor grill. Mark was able to come by after work hours, to accommodate my schedule, and talked me through several different options. Once we agreed on where the pipes would go and a fair price for the job, he was patient enough to hang on for 2 weeks while I made sure my neighbors knew a plumber would need access to their yard. The natural gas line had to go along the side of my house and Mark was very strategic about placing the pipe under a small overhang to make it less visible. He was an absolute artist with the careful placement of the pipe! And high quality pipes with an extra safety valve too! I also appreciated the fact that I could communicate with him via text and he was cool with installing the pipe while I was at work, watched over by my nanny-cam of course, you can't be too careful :) Overall, a very pleasant transaction. I highly recommend! read more

Mark is the BOMB! After spending 3 and 1/2 hours on a Sunday night trying to get our kitchen sink to drain with no luck I searched Yelp for a plumber... Efficient Plumbing was the best based on all the positive reviews! My husband called the next morning, he said he would be at the house by noon he showed up early and the price was just right. We would definitely call him again! read more

I think I found the BEST plumber!!! Recommended by a friend. Very professional. Super nice guy. Great pricing. Prompt, clean, tidy. Only good things to say!!! Highly recommend!!! read more

Called Mark for an emergency leak repair. He came out when promised and the price was less than his quoted price. I will be referring him to anyone who needs a plumber. Much better than any I have experienced in my life. Mark only accepts cash and check. Make appropriate arrangements prior. read more

Thanks for sending out Titus to take care of our plumbing issues and install new faucets in the kitchen and bathroom. He showed up on time did a great job, was not in a hurry, and made sure everything work correctly. Fast responses to my text messages regarding making my appointment I HIGHLY recommend Efficient Plumbing for your plumbing needs. read more

I've worked Mark to install mty touchless faucet in my brand new vanity. It needed a new valve and p-trap. I sent photos so that he can give me a good estimate over the phone. Service 5 stars: Chris his new employee came right on time. He was very nice. He laughed when I mistaken him for Mark. He did not freaked out when my dog had an accident in front of him cause my dog is old and got nervous. He was clean, fast and knowledgeable with what he's doing. He tried to look for a better looking valve and is willing to get one in the store but I told him what he had will do. Cost 5 stars: Mark gave me an estimate on the phone. But it went up and told me I will need a new valve. After talking to Mark again he decided to honor his original estimate. Good man! Workmanship 5 stars: no leaking wster. Everything looks in place. Efficient Plumbing is my go to guy for plumbing. read more

We were very happy that finally got the great Plummer in neighborhood. Mark is always quick to answer our requests! Christopher came to help our kitchen sink clogging! He did great job and fast. We had another Plummer did the job a year ago... But not as good as them. Yes they are efficient and we highly recommend to anyone be who needs plumbing job. Thank you both for helping us today. read more

Efficient Plumbing was great! Quick responses to my inquiries and got me booked in quickly even with my crazy schedule. Chris was awesome, went above and beyond and even put up with my little guys wanting to watch him work :) Will definitely use them for future work we need done and will recommend them to friends. read more

Mark is amazing. I had to have the soft water system in my garage removed as it was leaking and destroying my garage. I had hired another plumber for another job in my home who noticed it and quoted me 1,000 bucks to remove it. I didn't go with that asshat who by the way is from Ben Franklin plumbing and totally ripped me off. I decided to start hunting for a plumber on yelp and came across Mark. He came out and removed the system for the quoted low price of 200 bucks even though it required extra work. He even cleaned up the mess the unit had made. He was polite, professional and honest. I will never go to another plumber for any of my plumbing needs. read more

Call Mark about a hot water pressure problem at my rental property located in San Clemente. Usually hot water pressure is a pretty simple DIY fix, but boyfriend and I couldn't pull out the cartridge in the shower. There was just too much mineral buildup. So I called around to a few plumbers in the and area and told them my situation. Everyone wanted to charge around 200-250. Finally found Mark on yelp and he gave me a much cheaper quote! On the day of our appointment, he did arrive later than promised. But he contacted me to let me know he was running late. He did a great job! From now on, I'll just call Mark for all my plumbing needs. :) read more

I got tired of our old builder's toilet on the first floor getting clogged from time to time so decide to upgrade to a Toto. Contacted Mark by text and he suggested a Toto Eco Drake. Scheduled the appointment, Mark came out and installed it in record time, using a dropcloth and wet/dry vac to ensure no debris of any sort was left behind. I'm super happy with the new toilet (Toto makes the best in the business) and as luck would have it, our kitchen sink faucet developed a leak the day after, so I contacted Mark again and this time Chris came out, super courteous and professional, and installed the Costco faucet I bought, also to my complete satisfaction. Would definitely use these guys again -- and I did just that! read more

Efficient Plumbing - New Toto Eco Drake toilet, boy is this thing powerful for a low flow toilet. Thanks Mark! - Plumbing Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Checked out Yelp for a relatively simple plumbing job . . . replace a couple of angle stops and install a new kitchen Faucet. Usually a job i would do myself but was short on time for my tenant. I asked for quotes with specific details and Mark at Efficient Plumbing was the only one that would send a quote in email without a call. I understand the quote is just a basic quote and if problems arose it might be more but as i said seemed like a pretty simple straight forward job. Marks response was quick and reasonable. I booked an appointment within the hour. They came out, completed he job quickly and efficiently. Great news was there were no hiccups and the quote was accurate. I recommend Efficient Plumbing. Thank you read more

I needed the hot water recirculating pump replaced in my garage, easy location and access. The pump is made by Taco model 006-BC4 and it sells for $279 on Amazon. I was quoted $450 for the pump and then a additional $450 for installation to sweat 2 pipes together. The job should take 30 minutes max but l was quoted a 3 hour job @ $150 per hour. Where's the justification?? read more

Mark was a referral from a friend in the neighborhood. We have now used him for a couple of jobs. He is very good and highly recommended. Updated... still highly recommend. read more

I needed a couple of bathroom vanity faucets replaced and possibly a couple of shut off valves. I have used Efficient Plumbing on two prior occasions and was very happy with the work so I called them again to get a quote. After sending photos, I was given a quote. Just to be thorough, I called one other plumber I trust to compare prices. Both prices were fair but Efficient Pluming was the less expensive of the two. Steve, the plumber arrived right on time. After evaluating the job he advised that it was not necessary to replace the valves, but would certainly do it if that is something I wanted. I appreciated the honesty. The job was done in a timely manner with attention to detail. The old faucets left a stain line that Steve informed me of. I appreciated that as it allowed me to grab some Bar Keepers Friend and have the stain lines cleaned up before the new faucets were placed. It would have been very difficult to clean them off after the fact. I have had very good results with Efficient Plumbing over a number of years. I like that they are family owned and they are invested in providing quality work and ensuring their customers know they have someone they can trust to help them out with plumbing issues as they come up. read more

Mark is the BEST!!! I found him on yelp and hoped he would be as great as his reviews. He was that and more! I called him to replace 3 toilets in my home we just purchased. I wanted TOTO and he came right out and installed all three at a great price. He was very professional, yet very personable and NEAT. I'm OCD ....LOL Two weeks later I had him come back and replace all my faucets and shower heads. He found a new sink for my laundry room... Wow, he has been a life saver! With all the contractors I've been dealing with to get my new home just right he has been so easy to work with! He even called me back when HE was on vacation. I would recommend Mark to anyone who has any plumbing issues! read more

Exceptional job and immediate service. I called and sent a text (per his voicemail) and had a reply within minutes and at my house within an hour. Quality of work exceeded expectations and knowledge/work ethic was top notch. Totally recommend! read more

Called Mark and explained my situation, he quoted me a figure and I accepted. He then called me back and said it was LOWER because he read my text wrong. Nice! Chris showed up on time and finished the job in an hour and gave a 30 day guarantee. And I have a working sink again. Great job guys! read more

5 stars isn't enough. Mark was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. He was able to come out to the house within a few days of speaking with him, and took care of everything I needed, while also passing along helpful suggestions for future work (ancient water heater). Look this guy up folks! Hard working and very fair with pricing. read more

Mark was awesome. I called him this morning Memorial Day. He returned my call within 30 minutes, then was at my house within the hour to fix my kitchen sink . His price was incredibly fair and much less than another plumber I had called. He was " Efficient"and quick to fix my problem and install my new faucet. Thanks to Mark I was able to enjoy my holiday I have already told all my friends about him. read more

Had a kitchen sink that was leaking, found Mark on Yelp he texted me and Chris came out the next day and within two minutes discovered the reverse osmosis faucet we bought from Costco a year ago had malfunctioned and Chris told us that we needed to call the manufacturer and replace the faucet. I had them on the phone as he was writing our order up and a new faucet will be here in three days. Chris was a great guy!!! We love Yelp because they help funnel jobs to guys like Mark who put the customer first!! My only complaint was that he was 45 minutes later than they quoted, but that was not a real big deal. read more

We had a problem with our tub handles and faucet. Called Mark and he came out the same day right on time, fixed our problem and replaced parts in under an hour. Very reasonably priced. He brought his son and they worked quickly and efficiently. Very pleased with their work. Will call them again and recommend to friends and family. read more

Outstanding. I needed to replace a leaky shower faucet and 2 under-sink shut-off valves with broken handles . No way to shut off water to sink if faucets were to fail. Fortunately the water was already off. Regardless, needed to replace quickly prior to further issues. Sent a text on Sunday night to set up an appt. for anytime the following week. No need for it to be repaired Sunday evening and didn't expect to hear from him until Monday morning. Surprisingly, he Confirmed Appt for Monday within minutes. I had a few questions regarding scope of repair. He asked me to send a couple of pictures. He told me the expected price for repairs and replacement parts that would be required. Even suggested a much cheaper alternative to replacing entire original products. Showed up on time, completed repairs quickly and within price quoted. Extremely responsive to text messages. Quality work and a good value. read more

On a recent Sunday night our garbage disposal literally broke apart on us under the sink. My wife told me to forget about trying to fix it myself as she didn't want to wait a week or two for me to take 10 trips to Home Depot to buy the right parts while she needed to use the sink. To make a long story short, I had read the great reviews on Yelp, so I texted Efficient Plumbing the next morning for a quote, got a response back right away, and set up an appointment with Mark the same day. He showed up on time, replaced the disposal and impressed us as being very straight forward and efficient. I'm looking forward to having Mark help us with all of our plumbing needs going forward, and I will recommend him to anyone who needs a plumber. read more

We have used Mark of Efficient Plumbing twice now, and both times we were rather pleased. Mark returned telephone calls promptly, and arrived for both appointments right on time. He did the first job (replace two toilet fill valves & assemblies, gaskets and levers) for the same reasonable price he originally quoted. And he did the second job (replace the overflow valve on our water heater) for even less than originally quoted. He was always professional, and very communicative, fully explaining everything he did. We had a small problem with the first job: after the toilet assemblies were replaced, the toilets would flush multiple times in a row (sometimes up to 3x). When Mark returned to do the second job, he was able to help address this problem, with no extra fees or problems. read more

Found a lifelong plumber! Great guy! Great pricing! JOB WELL DONE! Kind of random, but he even gave us a bottle of YUMMY BBQ sauce. Thanks Mark! (I owe you a sandwich!!!) Will refer you to all friends and family! read more

Called to have a leaky shower valve fixed. Told Mark it wasn't an emergency but he asked me how bad it was leaking. When I told him the how fast it was dripping, he offered to come out within an hour. He showed up on time, and had the parts required to repair the valve, no replacement required. The job was done quickly, no fuss. Mark was personable and professional. Cost wasn't bad and payment was easy with a credit card. I'd happily call him again if I had a plumbing job I needed done. Thanks! read more

Great experience and very friendly. Was constantly updated as to status of arrival, appointment.

The water heater died and showering in cold water is no fun. Called and within an hour Hector arrived. Hector did a great job, cleaned up nicely and hot water began warming up! Would highly recommend Efficient Plumbing! read more
