I looked on yelp.com and was impressed with the reviews for Efficient Plumbing. Mark called back very quickly upon my leaving a message regarding my clogged kitchen sink. He was able to schedule an appt for that same day and took care of the problem professionally, courteously and for the price originally quoted. We appreciate all those qualities a great deal and will definitely use Efficient for any future needs. read more

My husband and I found ourselves in need of a new water heater today (Saturday afternoon!). I called a few different companies who were all 5 star recommended by Yelpers. Mark (owner) answered his phone right away and was extremely knowledgeable, courteous and professional. We ended up using a different company but I want to let readers know they should give Efficient Plumbing a call if they have any plumbing needs -- we will keep him in mind! read more

Mark was punctual and got the job done quickly. His experience shows and he is very professional. More than fair prices and I would definitely use him again. read more

Used Mark to install new garbage disposal. He was helpful, friendly, affordable and on time!! Efficient Plumbing will do all our plumbing from now on. read more

Mark is one of those hard to find knowledgeable, clean, and fair priced plumbers. He replaced my garbage disposal on a holiday for no extra charge and even replaced and re-worked the p-trap and sewer line under the sink for no extra charge so that everything would run smoother. He showed up on-time and did the work for the quoted price. I will definitely be calling Efficient Plumbing again. read more

I found Mark on Yelp. We talked on the phone and discussed a few different plumbing issues I was having. Mark listened, provided an estimate and was here the next day to fix everything. Very professional and experienced. He got right to the projects and was fast. As everyone knows, it is rare to have such a great experience, so I wanted to make sure I wrote a review. Before Mark left, I asked him for a bunch of cards so I can share them with my friends and neighbors who can never find a good, honest, dependable plumber. Don't look any further! Call Mark!! read more

Mark was on time. Walked through the jobs I was thinking and rather than gouge me, he advised against some needless work I was considering. He replaced the valves needed quickly and cleanly for a good price. Definitely recommend him and will use him again for my own projects. read more

Just very excellent service by Mark. He responded quickly to our needs of removing a stripped bolt from a kitchen faucet replacement project, and for a reasonable rate, went ahead and installed the new faucet. Quick, friendly, trustworthy and reasonable rates. What more could you want!! read more

Great service, punctual, very courteous and down to earth. Goes above and beyond what is required for the job. You will definitely get more than your money's worth. Extremely and highly recommended!!! A++++!!!! read more

Mark replaced our kitchen sink and faucet recently. Found him on Yelp and it was very easy to schedule with him via text message. He quoted a reasonable price, and also provided some required parts for installation. Mark was courteous and "efficient". Highly recommended. read more

Honest, honest and more honest. I'm writing this review because efficient plumbing came out to fix a clogged drain a my mom's place. On time, friendly, and honest. The drain was very clogged and they did a great job of just getting it to drain at all (I spent many hours snaking it and got nowhere a few days ago). They wouldn't even take payment for their hard work and service because it drained slowly. That kind of pride in work and integrity and very rare in this day. I know who to call for all my future plumbing needs and they will get all the referrals from me. Thanks read more

Mark replaced a leaking outside faucet for us that was sweated on. He did a great job, was able to come quickly, and left everything tidy. I had made a couple other calls for estimates and was going to have to wait days to get service - for the same price. I texted Mark, got the estimate and time by text, which worked very well. He takes cash, check, and credit card. I would use him again. read more

Chris fixed my plumbing problems. In addition to doing a great job, he was a good communicator and very professional. A rare combination.

Thank you Mark and Chris for your amazing service and great work. I was extremely impressed from the first phone call. We made an appointment to repair a leaky shower in the master bath and Chris arrived exactly on time. Not only was the problem repaired quickly and correctly, the price was extremely fair! I highly recommend them and already have to several people! read more

Called Monday and they were here on Tuesday! Brought the toilet, installed it and were gone in an hour! This is the best service I have had in a long time and for a woman that has to do all the work herself, they were a lifesaver! I will definitely use them again! read more

Mark always answers my call/text in a relatively short period of time - great customer service!! His prices are competitive and they did not exploit their price, even when my need was urgent. Chris is clean, friendly and very knowledgdeable about his trade. read more

We've had a problem with our kitchen drain off and on for more than one year. We tried various products to solve the problem - but none of them worked for long...and were expensive and caustic. Mark was extremely responsive by cell and text, and quoted us a reasonable price. Chris, who has been with Mark's company for quite some time, did the job. He was very professional and it was clear that he knew his trade. The problem was resolved and I'd call them again with no hesitation. In fact, I have also referred others to Efficient Plumbing! read more

Read reviews, called Efficient and several other plumbers with great reviews. Efficient was the only one that could show up within a short time frame. Others were booked thru next day. Mark, Efficient owner, texted he was out of town, to contact Chris. Chris quoted an amount, showed up at the home on time, did more than was asked for and spent more time than expected. Didn't charge more than quoted. Chris even came to my office after to pick up a check. Outstanding service, integrity, honesty, etc. We wouldn't hesitate to send the business for all 10 of our properties their way. read more

Not reliable, I called and texted them couple times. No one bothers to call back or text back.

Mark is very responsive and efficient. I've used this company on multiple occasions. The first time I used this company they came to my house to clean out a shower drain and checked all the sinks and toilets were running properly. They are very knowledgable and explained the issues they found and fixed them quickly. They even explained preventative measures I can take to avoid major problems in the future. I would definitely use them again. read more

AMAZING!! SUPERB!!! Mark showed up EARLY, was able to get the job done in a timely fashion, and was honest and fair. He did a clean job- work looks phenomenal! I referred my grandmother to him- other plumbers have ripped her off so badly. I had such a great experience with Mark that I trust him to take care of her. On average his charges were $200 less than other quoteS I got. Very, very pleased. read more

After being unable to obtain a referral for a good plumber from friends and family, I contacted Mark at Efficient Plumbing due to the high reviews on Yelp. He was very responsive and quickly set up an appointment to have Chris come to our home and take care of a few plumbing issues that we had. Chris was very personable, as well as capable and he did a great job for us! Efficient is now in my contacts list and I will absolutely call them for any future plumbing needs. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a good plumber, they truly earned all 5 of the available stars. read more

I recently was in need of a plumber for my sink/garbage disposal clog. My regular plumber had not returned my call from 3 days earlier so I sought out Mark with Efficient Plumbing. He got back to me within minutes & had an opening that same afternoon. His workman, Chris, was prompt, professional, personable & competent & ended fixing an additional problem I had with my dishwasher valve. I work in the construction field & have for 25 yrs., & I know how rare it is to find all these wonderful qualities in one individual & company. I would highly recommend Efficient Plumbing, Mark & Chris were great & I am beyond satisfied! read more

Mark is quick, honest, and reliable. I had a leaking pipe and a broken toilet. I texted him, he responded within the hour. He gave me an appointment via text within 24 hours. He arrived at the time he said he would, Quoted a price for my job immediately and upon me approving the quote in less than an hour later all was fixed....Truly reliable and professional I recommend him for all your plumbing needs. read more

I called Mark months ago to get a quote on installing a new kitchen faucet, and his quote was by far the cheapest.... several hundred dollars cheaper. We ended up holding off on the faucet, but knew to call him for the hot water heater. He came over for a free estimate and quoted a very reasonable price (another place quoted us a few hundred dollars more). We made an appointment, and he came over and replaced our hot water heater, but he needed to purchase some parts and come back to complete job. Not his fault at all, because the builders of our house used very cheap and rarely used material, which he needed to find in order to replace it. He went above and beyond and looked for it at several locations before finally locating it. Anyways, he came back a few days later and completed the job. Mark's a super nice guy, and not to mention he's great at communicating via text message. Can't go wrong! read more

As a newly minted home owner, I was petrified when water started coming up the kitchen floor. I didn't know what to do and was just frantically researching online and talking to everyone that i think can help! I found Efficient Plumbing from yelp. Upon reading all the reviews I felt pretty comfortable contacting Mark / Efficient Plumbing for help! Mark gave me a quote for how much it'd cost to perform a diagnosis of the leak. Then he went on to tell me most association will cover this and told me to check with mine! I had thought about this very briefly and got sidetracked and totally forgot about this option. When Mark reminded me, I was like GOOD IDEA!!! to my rescue, my association did cover the leak! except they don't repair the big gap they made on the dry wall. Mark again came to my rescue by giving me his trusty dry wall person's contact info. The dry wall person is scheduled to come out tomorrow, I am crossing my fingers everything will be okay from here on!!! bummer, my pergo floor is kinda damage, but i am too poor to change it now, =p. what would i do without Efficient Plumbing!!! read more

Absolutely LOVE Mark! He is SUPER friendly, very very knowledgeable, and fast. He truly is Efficient! I had just bought a house and moved down to Ladera from Hollywood. I had warranty for 1 year so I tried getting them to fix my plumbing issues. But they kept giving me plumbing companies that would not show up and reschedule and then not show up again. Wasted my time and patience. It went on for a month and a half. My kitchen faucet would just trickle and the water pressure was so low and washing the dishes would take forever. Also, my upstairs bathroom only turned on hot water and so I couldn't take a shower in that bathtub for 2 months waiting for plumbers that wouldn't show. I was pretty fed up with dealing with plumbers with bad service. I don't even know about their workmanship cuz they just wouldn't even show up. My friend referred their handyman, so he came to try and fix the problem, but it just made matters worse. So I called Efficient Plumbing because they had the best reviews. Mark responded to my text almost immediately. He asked for pictures of the faucet and my problem. Gave me a quote over the phone and showed up in a few hours. Awesome!!!!! When he fixed the problem, he billed me for less than what he quoted me for! I asked him to check my bathroom too and he knew what the problem was immediately. He taught me about things I should watch out for, how to use my water heater, where my main water valve was. (my husband knows all that but I didn't) Totally took the time to really go through what he was fixing, why, and how to tweek the faucet regulator if I ever wanted to. Just for all of that, I would have paid the original amount, but then he gives me additional discounts. The plumber of my dreams! Soooo glad I found him. No wonder he has the best reviews. read more

Finally found the ONLY plumber I will call for future needs....and I've been through several. I called Mark after reading Yelp reviews and he was even more than all the good things people had to say about him. He squeezed me in because I was pressed and needed help right away AND after explaining the job over the phone and trying to get an idea of the cost he was very straight up, gave me an idea, although I didn't expect him to commit without actually seeing the job. The big surprise came after he completed the job and said " this job was not as big as I expected ( although he did a GREAT JOB) so the cost will be less than what we spoke about on the phone". Everyone I spoke with prior to Mark told me it was going to be more than what he told me, yet when all was said and done he came in even less than the really fair price he told me on the phone. More than the expense, which of course everyone tries to control, it is the trust, the integrity and the fairness that immediately convinced me I found the only plumber I'll ever use. He could have charged what I expected after our phone conversation...but he was a gentleman and was completely fair and trustworthy. Save yourself the trouble ...just call Mark read more

I have been a homeowner for 34 years and have never been as impressed with any plumbing service as I've been with Efficient. I called Mark at Efficient on a weekend saying it was no emergency (one of 4 toilets wasn't working and there was a leaky faucet) and he texted me back immediately to say they couldn't get to my house in Laguna Beach until Monday and if that was OK (which it was). On Monday Christopher (he and Mark work together) called to ask if he could come an hour early (which was fine). Christopher immediately diagnosed the problem with the nonfunctional toilet (a simple flap problem), checked out the other toilets in the house (which he said were fine), fixed the faucet leak and advised us against the expense of installing pressure assist toilets (an idea of mine). The total bill was extremely reasonable! Mark and Christopher were very honest (there were no high pressure tactics to sell us any expensive repairs or fixtures) and it was pretty clear they are straight forward and just do the work that is necessary. This was/is very rare and highly appreciated; we are retired and when service people hear that we are in Laguna Beach one has the feeling that prices double. This is not the case with Mark and Christopher. Can't recommend these guys more highly! read more

they were great!!!!! added them to our phone contacts as we will call them anytime we need a plumber!

My father's bathroom faucet broke. He lives an hour away from me. What to do? Check Yelp, of course. I had tried a plumber with good Yelp ratings, and he came and checked the faucet, but gave me a price quote that was too expensive for Dad's limited resources. Efficient Plumbing had great ratings, so I called and spoke to Mark. He suggested that I buy the faucet and he would install it. He had me send him a picture of the faucet so he could tell me exactly what I needed to buy in terms of type (8 inch widespread vs. 4 inch centerset). I checked out the different styles and prices online and at Home Depot and bought a faucet. Mark was very responsive to my questions via text message. We arranged a time. His assistant came out and installed the faucet, and that was that. I appreciated the alternative option and the good communication. If another plumbing issue comes up, I'll call Mark again. read more
