We recently purchased a home in South Orange County. When we had our home inspection completed, they discovered that our washer connections/bib were corroded. A recommendation was made to replace them because it was likely that they'd break or leak. Therefore, we searched for a plumber that had a solid reputation to get the job done. We found Mark via Yelp and felt confident in our choice due to his five star ratings. So my fiancé emailed Mark and described what we needed done. He said that he would replace the connections/bibs for $150. The price seemed perfect so we made an appointment for Saturday at 2:00. Mark contacted us and told us that he was ahead of schedule and wanted to know if it was ok if he stopped by around 1:00. That worked out perfectly for us since we had a lot going on that day! He showed up and was super professional and personable. Within 30 minutes, we had brand new hardware and now we can install a new washer and dryer. We were totally satisfied with the quality of his work! It's a one man show as Mark works independently. He takes his payments in the form of cash or check. He's very efficient and lives up to his five star ratings. read more

After buying a house, or in this case, OUR house, every and ANY place, we all have small projects to do. It could be electrical, it could interior, but one of those would be our cleaning portion of our lives. Come on, we need to wash our dirty sheets and get ready for another day in paradise. During our home inspection, it was noted that we should fix a washer connection in the laundry room. With so many plumbers to choose from, we needed one who could be out there. We found someone speedy and EFFICIENT. Let's take a quick view of Efficient Plumbing in Orange County. After searching through Yelp, we saw a picture of a guy and his wrench. A plumber without a wrench is something to be wary of. I went to his business website and e-mailed him about our situation. Within the same day, he responded back with a straight and no fuss answer right away. He said he was available to do the work and would be there on Saturday at 2 pm. Well, Done Deal and BOOKED! When Saturday came along, we had another contractor doing some work, but then Mark texted me saying he can come earlier. For sure, if he can be done with one job, he can be at mine right now. He came in at 1 pm and quickly introduced himself. No small talk and straight to the job. I showed him the laundry room and the rusted Washer Connections or BIBS. He said it was pretty simple. He walked outside and shutoff the water. I helped a little by opening the water faucets in the bathroom and kitchen to make sure we don't have any leftover water in the pipes. Basically, relieving the pressure on the pipes. Within seconds, he grabbed his tools from his van and got to work. I didn't want to be bothering him while he worked. In under 30 minutes, probably even 20 minutes, he was done. He turned on the water and all the faucets were properly flowing. He was earlier than expected, he got the job done, and he was quick and simple. All I did was text him pictures and an address. Even before he left, we had a problem with a lock that we couldn't open. A key padlock. I asked him to open one since the previous owner lost his key. Mark said that Plumbers have the most tools of all trades. I guess so if he can cut through a padlock with ease. Efficient Plumbing is a mobile service and a ONE man shop. Its not about the size of a company, but how one man does a job. I would call/text Mark in an instant if we have a project that calls for some improvement. I look forward to getting someone in and getting out. I love Mark's work and if you are in Orange County, you've got a handyman ready to fix your pipes. Yelp...My passion is not to write my reviews, but to share my experiences with you. Take that journey and share your story. read more

Efficient Plumbing - Before (Bad BIBS) - Plumbing Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

See all

Mark runs this business really well and I could tell that he does what he can for his customers. He also supports his guys on the field which is always a good sign that a business owner is caring and reasonable. Chris came to answer our call for a broken/leaky sink this morning but didn't have a part that was needed. The part isn't typically carried in their trucks because it's rare that they need it. Mark came shortly after with the part and finished the job. I think they did the job efficiently and for a really fair price. It was also really easy to communicate with Mark through text. Both Mark and Chris were professional and courteous. I highly recommend them! Tip: Pay with either cash or check. I knew this because of the yelp reviews and I confirmed with Mark when I spoke on the phone with him. They accept credit cards as well but there's a fee. read more

Thx again Mark for the "sweet deal" on our new toilet!! In just a half an hour, he got our VERY old one out & installed the new... saving us tons of money in the end. Looking forward to the rebates & our next water bill. You're the best! read more

Efficient Plumbing - Toto Toilet! - Plumbing Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

I had my wife call them since I had to go to work and couldn't fix the issue anyway. They were on time and professional and took care of the problem. I knew we had a main line drain clog and appreciated that they did not try the "We need to run a camera" bs that many other plumbers do as a matter of course on every call. They simply cleared the main and we were back in business . I would have given them 5 stars but they didn't take credit cards so had to scrounge for $125 dollars in cash. Other than that they were great! read more

We first called Efficient Plumbing because there was a small amount of water leaking through the wall of our garage. They had an appointment the next day and Titus was our plumber. He did an outstanding job of finding and repairing a hairline fracture in an incoming water pipe. We are already return customers because we had Titus come back today and replace the hose bib on our back patio hose. We are extremely happy with Efficient Plumbing because they are professional, honest, timely, and have reasonable (but definitely not cheap) prices. We will continue to call Efficient Plumbing for future needs. read more

Going on seven years, I have relied on Mark to take care of all plumbing issues I have with my rental home in Laguna Niguel. He is honest, courteous, and thorough. I have had a couple of tenant related emergencies in where Mark has accommodated everyone's schedule and handled the situations in short order. What stands out most based off my experience is that you get honesty and the job will be done right the first time. read more

Efficient Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me - Laguna Niguel, California

Thank you Hector!!! I came home to water in my closet right before leaving town. We called and Hector said he could be at our place within the hour. He was prompt, found the leak and fixed it all in one visit. Very professional the entire time. He even solved a kitchen faucet issue we have been having at no change. We are so grateful for Hector solving our issue. We would recommend them and will definitely use them again!!! read more

This company should be called Efficient, Reliable, Reasonable, Professional and Friendly Plumbing! Mark replaced my main shut off valve, regulator and hose spigot. He arrived on time and came fully prepared after viewing the picture I sent him. He immediately got to work, wasting no time. I recently had another plumber come to my house to give me a bid for this job, and they told me they wouldn't be able to do it without replacing my entire main water line. After a neighbor told me he didn't think that was necessary, I gave Mark a call. Mark didn't try to convince me I needed the entire main line replaced; in fact, he warned me about other plumbers who would probably do just that. Mark clearly knows his stuff, and it's clear his goal is to do an honest, professional (and "efficient") job that will leave his customers happy. I highly recommend Efficient Plumbing, and have no doubt Mark can tackle any type of plumbing challenge that comes his way, and will do an outstanding job! read more

Absolutely had a horrible experience with this guys, explained to my husband the situation and was totally taken advantage of )-,: Hector was the technician that had came by our home for the repair, never told me a price before he started working then at the end when he was done gave me a HUGE bill or said I could pay Cash and he would give me a discount!! Seemed very odd! wanted to cry as all this wAS UNEXPECTED. I would of never went with this company from the start if I New the price. Ended up getting other quotes after the fact that were 3 times cheaper! I'm a old lady living with my husband and fills like since I'm old and a women the plumber took advantage of me.....sad that we live in a world like this today. Hope this helps other customers...always receive multiple job quotes and do not let anyone start working on your home or anything without giving you a price before work is started. Guess a old lady like myself had to learn the hard way. Thanks Efficient Plumbing, would never recommend these people to anyone. Update: fake review? That's sad to say to a customer. Especially to a old lady like myself. Bums me out theirs people like you in this world calling me fake. I'm a elderly women who barely knows how to use a computer. Never received a receipt from you guys after I payed over $1100 ): after the work was done. It's sad cause I've used this company years ago and people were so much more caring and helpful. So we live in a world like this.. read more

They're very pricey and not willing to work with you on pricing. They must have too much business

Everything you want a plumbing company to be, but too afraid to ever think you would find! I didn't receive a call back from my previous plumber so figured it was time to find a new one. Like many of the reviewers on here, I read through all the reviews and chose Efficient. Yes, it's true, they are as great as everyone says they are! Christopher and Alex showed up within their window of time and promptly got to work replacing 2 toilets within 2 hours. Trustworthy and experienced experts that know what they are doing. And fair pricing on top of it all. It is obvious that they take great pride in doing a professional job. These guys are a class act! I have definitely found my new plumbing company!! read more

I was most impressed that Efficient Plumbing took the time to listen to my problem and actually figure out if they could help me. Every other plumber I called, including the company I have used many times before, told me they could not come out for a day or two - that was even before I told them what was wrong. I honestly felt like Efficient Plumbing wanted to help if they could. After listening to my description of the problem, they knew I needed my main line hydro-jet'ed and their specialist had a slot open for that afternoon. The tech was on-time, efficient, professional, and didn't appear to mind the wife and I camping out in front of his inspection camera. And fair pricing - no "same day" surcharge - will use again. read more

Had a water leak in ceiling coming from upstairs bathroom, called Efficient Plumbing and they were able to come next day, find the leak and repair same day. would use them again. thanks Titus! read more

Initial quote I received was from Rooter Hero, simply because of my quest to use at least one random coupon per year. Well, as expected from hindsight of their yelp reviews, Rooter Zero gave me some crazy quote and told me that the coupon didn't apply. It apparently only applies when a lunar and a solar eclipse happen simultaneously on a Tuesday at 3pm. No shock there. So I then decided to do what anyone with two working brain cells firing simultaneously would do and went to yelp for suggestions. I found Efficient Plumbing and they absolutely defined why they have a five star review history. The appointment was a little delayed but I was updated three times! That's three times more than most. I can understand because some jobs take longer than expected and if I needed my toilet napalmed to open up the pipes, well I expect them to take their time. Christopher was the plumber and he did a fantastic job with our master bath sinks. He explained the issue, worked efficiently (no pun) and got the job done well. I appreciated the thoroughness and the cleanliness. Everyone needs to know a good mechanic, electrician, and, plumber. These guys definitely check that last box well. Thanks again. read more

We were having difficulty finding a good plumber, we have used many. Read good reviews about efficient plumbing. Chris and Alex came out did a great job and showed the job that the other should have done. We have a house warranty because of all the issues using it we decided simply to call an independent plumber and these guys were the ones to use. After using numerous plumbers before if we would've used in the first place it would've been cheaper doing the job correctly the first time. Cheap is not best! read more

Our toilet got backed up and water started to come up from the bathtub..yuck! We called around, but Efficient Plumbing had the best price and quickest response. Their guy was here within the hour, fixed our issue and went on their way. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues. Their customer service and overall experience can't be beat! read more

If you ever need a plumber call, Efficient Plumbing! They are fast and efficient! I will never use any other company!

Had a few minor things that needed fixing around the house where I wasn't comfortable fixing since I needed the right tools and knowledge. They were the kitchen faucet hot water cartridge (you couldn't unscrew the level from the top since there wasn't a screw to remove after you popped it open), the jack and jill bathroom hot water wasn't working (I couldn't remove the cartridge since it was stuck in there real good and you need a proper tool or you could end up busting your pipes if you pulled too hard), and the garbage disposal. My wife was at home when Efficient Plumbing came and he changed out the garbage disposal first in 20 min with the new garbage disposal, no more leaking and worked fine, then onto the shower and sink. Everything was done in about an hour...now talk about quick. This would have taken me like half a day. His price was very reasonable too compared to other plumbing companies we asked for quotations and free estimates. Thank you Efficient Plumbing and if we have any other plumbing issues, we know who to call. read more

This company meets their name! Now I see why they have perfect reviews. Efficient, fast, and reasonable. The pressure cartridge in my shower wasn't working, making the water boiling hot (no cold water). Efficient plumbing saved the day. So happy with their service. I have saved their number in my phone for all my plumbing needs and if someone asks. If you're in need of anything plumbing related, call them.. you're welcome! read more

We needed a plumber to come out fast but they were busy at the time and could not accommodate us they were very pleasant and polite

Titus at Efficient Plumbing was GREAT!! My mom, who lives alone, was quoted over $700 for a slow drain from another very large company that advertises like crazy on TV, clearly trying to rip off an older woman! Titus came out and fixed everything and more that she needed done for just over $200... I can't thank him enough for taking care of my mom and her plumbing! I highly recommend Efficient Plumbing and will absolutely use them again for all our plumbing needs! read more

After reading my previous yelp review, Steve called and listened to my concerns. He reduced the price by $100.

They were quick responding to my message and provided a fair quote. They were able to come out right away and we're on time and worked fast!! They know what they are doing! I had a great experience and wouldn't hesitate to call them again. read more

I recently purchased a home in Laguna Niguel and needed the services of a plumber. I was not looking forward to this trade search as I've had a few bad experiences with a different home in another city. I took to Yelp to try and find a reputable plumber. I looked at many plumbers and many, many more reviews. I had the good fortune to find Mark the owner of Efficient Plumbing. His company had 290 - 5 star reviews. I read like the first 20 - 25 reviews and decided this was the company for me. Mark did not disappoint! I have a European thermostatic cartridge that needed replacing in the shower. After locating the part I scheduled the repair with Mark. Mark was awesome, friendly, knowledgeable, detailed orientated and very fair with his pricing. I'm happy to report that I'm giving Mark and his company its 291st - 5 star review! It's great knowing I now have a plumber I can count on for our new home. read more

Great service. Able to get it done fast and EFFICIENTLY, would use again. Thanks Titus!

Shower has been dripping water for a while so I set an appointment with Mark since he did a wonderful job for my company few years back. Mark was on time, polite, efficient and also very honest!! We paid cash and accidentally gave him additional $100 without noticing, Mark came back and gave us the extra $100 back. ( if that doesn't mean honesty, I don't know what else would) Highly recommend Mark to anyone! read more

Found Efficient Plumbing on Yelp and all of the great reviews are spot on. Scheduled appointment for a leaky shower faucet that was also making a loud clanking noise. They confirmed the appointment, there was great follow up and even a heads up when they were on their way. Titus showed up on time, was a complete gentleman and efficiently completed the job. Fair price and great service. Would definitely recommend this company to anyone looking for a great plumber. 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

Mark and Chris are both solid, genuinely nice, and professional. Better than that, reasonable prices which I hope stay reasonable despite 5 star reviews. I had 2 toilets with clogging issues (one toilet only 2 years old). Called Pristine Plumbing who came out and worked on them. Pristine did an excellent job and the technicians were friendly and helpful - the bill however was extremely high. They also recommended two projects that my home needed and quoted very high prices for these jobs. Although my instinct was to ask Pristine back for these two jobs, friends urged me to shop around and that is when I found Efficient. Mark texted me with quotes (much lower than Pristine) and gave me quick responses to every follow up question (and believe me, I have a lot). Pristine on the other hand failed to respond to emails which I found surprising because the technicians were so kind. Almost did not write this review in fear that it might affect Efficient's prices and availability but that would not be fair to Mark and Chris. They are friendly, fair, on-time and, yes,"efficient". 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

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

I called Mark the Saturday before Mother's Day with a leaking shower. There was no rush, just trying to set up an appointment. He seemed disappointed that he could help me on the spot, but said that if it wouldn't mess up our Sunday he could come on Mother's Day. After chastising him for not spending the day with his own mother (he had a good excuse - she's too far away) I allowed that he could do the work on Sunday. He assured me that there would be no extra charge for working on Sunday and asked me to text him a picture of the leaking handles so he would have the right equipment when he came. He arrived promptly when he said he would on Sunday - with flowers for Mothers Day!! He did the work for the price he quoted, found a couple extra items that needed replacing and showed me what they were and what was wrong with them. He had all the parts needed, and tweaked some other small issues on his way out (no charge). Mark is the plumber I have been waiting for all my life! read more

We have been using Mark for years and he has consistently delivered. He's personable, trustworthy and reasonable. Who could ask for anything more? His recommendations on fixtures and solutions have been spot on. He's also been a great resource for us, referring others to do work in our house. Now if I can only find a mechanic like him! read more

I got Mark's name off of Yelp. He returned my call and asked me questions over the phone and told me i had a slab leak, but I told him the tank was leaking. he came out and showed me where I was wrong and THEN CHARGRD ME NOTHING. He recommended another plumber who specialized in slab leaks (I Got Plumbing) and they came out and fixed the leak in minutes. By sending us to a specialist, we got our job done quickly and at a fair price. there is no question that Mark is a good and honest guy. read more

I was in need of a plumber so I went to yelp. With all of the great reviews how could I go wrong? My old plumber was tough to get a hold of. I called Mark and he called me back promptly. I live out of state and needed some attention on a rental property. I sent over a couple of pictures and got a very fair estimate and a time that he would show up. He showed up on time, did a professional job, cleaned up and came in under the original estimate. My tenant said they were nice and personable people. I am very happy to give a full 5 stars on this one. If only we could get the cable company to work like this. Thank you Mark and Efficient Plumbing. You are now my go to plumber. 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
