    AVOID this company - Property Damage, Upselling, and Zero Accountability Elite Rooter Plumbing damaged my toilet by gouging the porcelain with a metal auger improperly, leaving permanent stain on it. What's completely unacceptable is what happened after they damaged my property: no acknowledgement and no response. The technician ignored the issue, and customer service failed to follow up, respond, or take responsibility for the damage they caused. No apology. No accountability. Also when he tries to diagnose the clog, the technician immediately pushed an extreme and unnecessary recommendation: cutting open drywall and installing a two-way fitting, with a $1,600 charge just to "inspect further." This felt like upselling through fear, not professional plumbing. This company demonstrates careless workmanship, aggressive sales tactics, and a refusal to stand behind their mistakes. If you hire Elite Rooter, be prepared for property damage and silence when something goes wrong. I strongly advise choosing another plumbing company. I am documenting this publicly because private attempts to resolve the issue were ignored.

    Terrible Experience I am extremely disappointed with the service we received from Elite Rooter. What began as a simple call to clear a backed-up kitchen sink turned into months of stress, property damage, and ongoing issues. After researching local companies, we chose Elite Rooter based on their positive reviews. They arrived and began working on our drain from the exterior of the home. During the service, we were told that our plumbing system was outdated and urgently needed replacement. We were quoted $45,000 for new plumbing lines. While on our property, their crew cut holes into our kitchen and bathroom walls to access pipes. No protective measures were taken to cover our home or belongings, resulting in fine dust and debris covering the entire interior. Shortly after, they attempted to upsell additional services, claiming our water lines were leaking. This raised concerns, so we hired a second professional for an inspection (at our own expense of $300). That inspection revealed that Elite Rooter had damaged our main water line. We never experienced a leak prior to their work. When confronted, Dion, the project manager, admitted fault and agreed to reimburse the inspection cost and replace the water lines at no charge. The replacement work was also poorly handled. Our copper water lines were replaced with plastic lines that were run through the roof to various fixtures. During this process, one worker stood on our brand-new drying machine and dented it. When we raised the issue, responsibility was denied. Throughout the project, there were multiple unprofessional incidents, including a worker bringing his spouse to our property, where she sat and stared at us, creating an uncomfortable environment. Accountability was consistently avoided despite clear errors and damage. The project took approximately four months to be considered "complete," yet significant issues remain: * Unrepaired holes in walls * Uneven concrete work * Plastic water lines running through the ceiling * Poor water pressure * Electrical shocks while showering (still occurring) * Sewer odors throughout the home when flushing a toilet * Continued need to hire outside professionals for inspections and repairs Even now, Elite Rooter continues to return to fix unresolved problems. Overall, the workmanship, professionalism, communication, and accountability were unacceptable. Our property was damaged, our safety compromised, and the experience has been exhausting and costly. I strongly advise others to avoid using Elite Rooter for any plumbing services. Dion, James & Kyle were just a few names that were head of this project.

    I read all the reviews for Community Plumbing and decided to try them out since I usually go to one…read moreof the big two firms in San Diego. I've seen them around our community and I love supporting my local businesses. I called on a Sunday and Eric answered - first big surprise, was expecting to get voicemail. I explained to him the problem of knocking in my pipes and he said it could be a number of things, said he could come out later in the week. Then he began telling me what the problem could be and asked that I check something under the sink. I did, he told me what to do and bam, the months-old problem was gone. He saved me the grief of hearing this massive knocking every time we turned on the hot water, and saved me hundreds of dollars. To be clear, he didn't need to do that. He could've have hung up the phone, come out on Thursday, turned the valve several times, and handed me an invoice for a couple hundred dollars. But he didn't, he did the kind, neighborly, and professional thing of taking care of the problem on the spot even thought it meant no revenue for him. Good business is a long-game. Do the right thing and the customers, and money, follow. Eric clearly gets that. In this day and age, that's priceless. Community Plumbing is now in my contact list, any more plumbing issues, it's a no-brainer to call them. Thanks, Eric!
