This company provided exceptional customer from the start to the finish. Jacob responded to my request online within 5-10 minutes. He listened to my concerns and had the plumber out the next day. Martin arrived and walked me through the issues that my 10 year old water heater was having. I had a choice to do a temporary fix or just replace the entire unit. He gave me a quote that was reasonable. He spent time hunting down the new unit and was able to obtain the last one. He came back three days later to install the unit and took about five hours. He made sure the pipes were insulated and added a tank that cools down the water heater. Overall, I am overly impressed by Martin's craftsmanship and concern that I submit the warranty properly. The high level of customer service was impeccable and I recommend their services. read more

Would definitely recommend them. read more

I used Emerald Green last week to have a few leak repairs in my condo! I was so not looking forward to the mess or the inconvenience, but there was none of that! The plumbers came out and gave us an estimate. They were clear on what would happen and when. very professional and informative. Everyone that worked in my home was so nice, respectful of my things and very professional! The work was done exactly when said it would be and they left my home so clean. I would totally recommend them! Just an amazing group of people! Thank you read more

Was charged for a report during escrow and no report was given and no refund issued. Also the verbal estimate was horribly overpriced compared with other options. My Reatlor kept checking in for the report to use in escrow with more and more excuses. Go use another plumbing company. read more

Five stars for Emerald Green Plumbing. We recently had our entire house re-piped and the experience was honestly much smoother than we expected. From the beginning, they explained the whole process clearly, gave us a realistic timeline, and were very transparent about everything. The crew showed up on time every day, worked efficiently, and kept things as clean and organized as possible while the work was being done. Re-piping a whole home is a big project, but they handled it professionally and made the whole process feel easy. Once everything was finished, the difference was immediately noticeable -- the water pressure throughout the house is much better and everything is working perfectly. You can tell they take pride in their work. I'd definitely recommend Emerald Green Plumbing to anyone needing serious plumbing work done." read more

We recently hired Emerald Green to replace a water heater in my mother's San Fernando Valley home. Emerald's technician Martin did the job. Martin was very thorough in explaining to me the work being done and the updates he was doing to bring the heater installation up to current codes (the installation is very clean). He stayed until we were certain the heater was functioning properly. Martin left the job site in immaculate condition. We will definitely call Emerald again for any future household plumbing needs.

Brian is a great plumber. I've been a customer for over a decade. He's highly knowledgeable. When I owned a rental property, he had to figure out problems that were complex, but always resolved the issue. Today, all the drains in my house were backing up from the street, which of course, he cleared out. I highly recommend Emerald Green Plumbing. read more

100% professional,skilled, prompt. Dry kind, able tradesmen. Prices are fair. Brian and Martin a delight to work with.

I have nothing but great things to say about Brian Walsh and Emerald GreenPlumbing. He's always been quick to respond and helpful with some complex issues at our aging beachfront condo building in Santa Monica. He helped me during my unit's kitchen and bath renovation last year. He's has a great sense of dry Irish humor that I share and a proud work ethic. He got the job done when nobody else wanted to touch our old pipes. Thanks Brian! read more

Had a really good experience. Small job but challenging and Brian took care of it. Couldn't be any better.

Well, I cannot express how happy I am with Brian & Emerald Green Plumbing. i Was aware for quite a few years that I needed to do a complete re-pipe of my house and when my water heater went out I decided to contact Brian as he had done miscellaneous plumbing jobs in the past for myself and my sister and got a quote for a complete copper re-pipe and proceeded with the job. His method was swift and complied with my particular special requests and he even went above and beyond with the kitchen, shower area and outside faucet installations due to the homeless issues in my neighborhood. I am now enjoying clean water again with renewed pressure I had long forgotten and a morning shower that wakes me up for the day. Thank you Brian for a job well done! . read more

I called Brian Walsh on 6/10/25 Tuesday around 5 pm and told him we have sewer problem . He spoke to my husband for more details . He gave us 2 options - to come in for emergency service if we needed it or they can come in early 6/11/25 Wednesday . Martin came exactly 7:30 am and provided a fast service and fixed the clog in sewer close to city sewer line. Excellent job! read more

Brian and Martin do fantastic work, but unfortunately Brian's customer service is vague, condescending, and disrespectful. As a result, we will not be using Emerald Green Plumbing moving forward. To elaborate: My partner and I hired Emerald Green to perform some basic plumbing tasks for our washer/dryer hookups: 1) lower 2x water supply lines (hot and cold) to an appropriate height, 2) replace both water valves, and 3) replace our gas line and valve. Martin came on 10/10/23 to complete this work, and it was done within a timely manner and without any catastrophic issues. Martin let us know that his work was "warrantied" and indicated that both the water and gas lines had been tested (see work order attached below). The total cost for the work performed was $680. Shortly thereafter, I discovered that the hot and cold water valves were mislabeled - hot was cold, and cold was hot. Our house was built in 1947 and as such, the water supply lines are inverted with respect to the modern plumbing convention (i.e. hot on the left, cold on the right). Given that Martin had indicated that the work was "warrantied", and that the work order clearly stated that the water lines were both tested, I called Brian on the morning of 10/16/23 to remediate the problem by having them swap the mislabeled valves. I explained to Brian how the water line valves were mislabeled, and he suggested I simply "switch the hoses" feeding the washing machine. I explained to him that I understand that this would "fix" the issue, however I reminded him of the warranty on the work that Martin had explained to me, and how the work order stated that the lines were tested. I also explained to him how we felt uncomfortable paying $680 for incomplete/incorrect service rendered. He acknowledged and said that they could come by the same day sometime between 12pm and 2pm to fix the issue. At no point did he indicate that this work would be an additional charge, or that it wouldn't be covered under the warranty. That afternoon, Martin swapped the valves and they are now correct, however he then let me know that we now owe an additional $150? I was confused, and asked him how this could be the case, given the warranty on the work, the "tested" remark on the work order, and especially given how the install was incorrect. He told me to take it up with Brian, so Brian gave me a call. I explained my confusion for this charge to Brian, given the warranty, the "tested water line's" remark on the work order, and our phone conversation earlier that morning, where we had discussed all of these things. He launched into a lengthy barrage of comments about how it's not the plumber's responsibility to check which water lines are which. To paraphrase, he said things like "it's your fault for not letting us know which water lines were which", "the home inspector should have caught that", "we would test a kitchen/bathroom sink or shower for hot and cold but not a washer/dryer", "some older homes have their hot and cold lines reversed", so on and so forth. I tried to respond to his remarks, to which he repeatedly cut me off to continue rambling, asking me to "let him finish." I let him finish his remarks, and given what he had said about older homes, I then asked him "if older homes sometimes have their hot and cold water lines reversed, is that not something that a plumber would be inclined to check, before making assumptions about which line is hot and which is cold?" Before I could finish, he cut me off, stating that it was still my fault and that it was my responsibility to let them know such things. At no point did he address the supposed warranty, our phone call earlier that morning, or what is covered under the warranty. I, again, reminded him of the warranty, how the work was technically incorrect, how his work order explained that the lines were "tested", and asked him why I was being charged and additional $150 to remedy HIS company's mistakes, to which he continued to defend his stance, at which point he said that he would make me "a deal" and split the cost halfway, only charging us $85 to fix their mistake. In summary, Brian was vague, misleading, condescending, and disrespectful to me when handling an issue that could have been easily avoided with due diligence, respect, and an inclination toward providing decent (not even good) customer service. As such, he has unfortunately lost loyal customers today. I am saddened as we have been using Brian and Martin for some time now, but today is our final day working with them. read more

Brian literally saved the day single-handedly. He avoided a very serious issue that, without his intervention, could have become catastrophic. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more

Had a leak behind the shower in the wall. Just moved to the area from Northern California and was referred to Emerald Green Plumbing by a neighbor. Brian came and assessed the situation and got it fixed in a jiffy. We didn't expect this to cost very little, but it way less than what we thought it was going to be. He was fair, honest, and thorough. I think we just found a plumber for life. read more

I have had a poor experience with Emerald Green Plumbing, which Lowe's subcontracted to install garbage disposal as part of a sink install. Later we noticed that the disposal was leaking. We contacted Emerald to try to remedy the situation, as we were still under Lowe's warranty, who subcontracted to Emerald Green Plumbing. This was approximately 3 weeks ago. In my opinion, we have been given nothing but the runaround since, in which each time we contact Emerald we are told that there is yet one more hoop to jump through with one more third party for us to contact. Finally, Emerald arrived today to replace the unit but did not bring a unit along to replace the defective one. Even though, by my memory, they brought the unit with them during the original install! They didn't even look at the unit today. I will update this review if and when Emerald ever honors its obligations with respect to the disposal that they installed. So far, our opinion is purely negative. read more

Brian came out immediately to fix a leak in the line feeding into my water heater. It was fixed in a flash for a reasonable price (let's be real, plumbers are not cheap though). What I liked is that he doesn't have that kind of business model that runs as a network/dispatch that pays on commission. He gave me a good education about my aging copper pipes and advice on how to get the most out of them rather than jump right into an expensive re-piping job. In short, he's a technically talented plumber and sincere person...no BS. I would hire him again. read more

The clean out from the washer in my kitchen was clogged. I called this company who I never used before and they were FABULOUS! They r parishioners of my church which is how I found them in the weekly bulletin. Brian is the owner who was very nice and accommodating to my schedule. He sent his assistant MARTIN, a VERY SKILLED, KNOWLEDGABLE, POLITE, CLEAN, WELL SPOKEN, PUNCTUAL gentleman. He went well above his protocol till the line was flowing smoothly. YAYYYYY, NO MORE water coming into the kitchen. A PERFECT job. If you need a plumber LOOK NO FURTHER than this company. It will b the BEST call u can EVER make for a plumbing company. Thank U BRIAN and MARTIN. read more

We had a leaky shower. It turns out that a leak in the shower is a more complicated thing than your normal sink faucet leak. Martin did a fantastic job. He installed a new cartridge, pressure regulator, handle, and shower head. Everything looks great and works beautifully! Martin was professional, answered all our questions (including those that didn't involve the shower), was attuned to all details, and above all was obviously conscientious, down to the color of the caulk he used. So many technicians just want to get the work done and be gone, but Martin really went the extra mile to help. Can't recommend him (and the company) enough! read more

After using Emerald Green for a couple of large jobs and a couple of small jobs I finally get around to a review. Whenever I drag my feet on a review that means that I'm undecided, indecisive, and still mulling over the situation. Right now I'm torn between 2 or 3 stars. With regard to plumbers: Meh, I've experienced better, but meh, I've also experienced worse. Emerald Green advertises in church bulletins as a local parishioner who gives a 10% parish discount. I've seen his ad in several parishes... so I wonder, which parish is he a member of? I once asked and really didn't get a coherent answer. I never asked for the discount so I suppose it's my own darn fault for paying too much for plumbing jobs. The good: Brian has a charming Irish brogue and is quite a chatterbox... maybe even to the point of being perceived as a "fast talker". After discussing a job and the price (seems to generally be on the high side, but since plumbing jobs really aren't amenable to "shopping around" it is hard to really say) I always feel like I have to count my fingers after the handshake. His crew did very clean work on the re-piping and the interior walls looked just like they did before. I was fearing a lot of chopping and patching but there was none of that seem. During that job there was some property damage from a crew members accident and Brian took care of the repairs completely and to our satisfaction. The not-so-good: A few years after a re-plumb job there was a need to turn off water to a faucet... and I quickly learned that the shutoff valve was plumbed flat against the wall so the pipe has to be pulled back to turn the shutoff valve. That isn't right and seems like the result of lazy workmanship or an attempt to not use a couple more elbow fittings. Both water heaters installed by Emerald Green eventually needed major repair - thermostat/gas controller replacement. One failed so soon that warrantee service took care of it. Fine; no problems. The other failed about 8 years later. Called Emerald Green for service and l;eft a message... no return call. Called the office and the receptionist started the gilling, "is this a Lowes water heater or one we installed; we won't service a Lowe's water heater; are you sure we installed it?" This, twice. And when the did come out for service they didn't have the part on the truck, couldn't get one from their supplier, and basically left us on our own to find the part. (I found one in one phone call and had it overnighted. But why don't YOU have a better network of suppliers?) After installing the part the cover to the water heater could not be replaced -- the gas line had become so deformed that it won't fit anymore. I don't think this is right, and I also think this is another indicator of the inattention to details. The really perplexing: One of the water heaters installed by Emerald Green is a Whirlpool... just like those sold at Lowes. The other site has an American Water Heater brand installed by Emerald Green. Why couldn't you look up in your records to verify that you installed the water heaters instead of the grilling on the phone and the resulting confusion/concern/consternation? The best: Emerald Green's young plumber, Martin, is a very charming and nice man. He seems very honest and hard working. The bottom line: I'm not totally dissatisfied, but not totally satisfied either. There are just too many small things to make me really think that next time I may call someone else. Seems like too small of a shop to count on for emergency service despite the ads bragging about 24-7 emergency service being available. What a shame since I like supporting small business. But to keep up with the big companies with fleets and people actually returning calls promptly you need to give us reason to keep calling... but it's just not there. read more

Janet and "Peace", seriously? This company is supposed to be responsible for a water heater that was installed EIGHT years ago and a disposal that YOU purchased which they happened to install? Here's the bottom line...you get what you pay for and with Emerald Green you get EXPERT service. I've had Brian troubleshoot a drainage problem that two other plumbers were perplexed by and today Martin would not stop working on a slow hot water issue that other plumbers told me I would have to re-plumb the ENTIRE house to fix (he fixed it by literally SUCKING the mineral deposits up and out of the filter of the kitchen faucet). Martin is the kind of employee that any business would be blessed to have working for them! How often do you have to hire a plumber? Once every year or two? Don't be "a penny wise and a pound foolish", spend a few bucks more and get the job done right. read more

Brian and his crew have provided consistent and regular service for my colleagues and workplace. I recently had the need to do some major high-pressure line work at the front of my house and wouldn't have thought to use anyone else but him. Hard working, experienced plumber who will do it right the first time. I did spend quite a bit to have the work done, but I'm confident his prices would have been competitive with others if I'd had the time to shop the work out. read more

I have used Emerald Green Plumbing on and off for about 10 years. They are always extremely professional and get the job done the first time. It's always extremely fast as well. I never understood why other plumbers take so long to do the same work. Brian is so nice and genuinely cares. And he has a wonderful Irish accent! The prices aren't cheap, but they also aren't really any more expensive than anyone else. But you're getting quality work! read more

Martin came by within only a few hours after we called to install a new water heater. Very fast. Was impressed by the time it took to install as well as his professionalism. It was a good experience compared to previous experiences with both Home Depot and Lowe's trying to get a new water heater installed in a reasonable amount of time. Will use them again read more

Our family would like to commend Emerald Green Plumbing and its owner, Brian Walsh, and his assistant, Martin, for many years (at least 15) of the best in "home rescue plumbing service needs" for our home. Emerald Green Plumbing is outstanding particularly in the areas of customer service and maintaining a vast and thorough knowledge and comprehension of plumbing problems (any kind) and what it takes to fix them. From our own personal experience over the years, Emerald Green stands above other plumbing companies that we have used. They are very familiar and knowledgeable about the plumbing layouts and needs of the older homes as well as the newer to the most newly designed homes with designer kitchens and designer bathrooms throughout the San Fernando Valley as well as other outlying areas. Our family has resided in the Valley for almost 45 years and there has never been a time or a plumbing issue from simple to very complex that Brian Walsh could not solve, whether to repair or replace. Martin is equally as hard working as Brian and they have always gone the extra and many miles to get our plumbing issues resolved and in a timely way. Just to name some of the plumbing work that Emerald Green has successfully repaired or replaced for us: Water heater, kitchen disposals, new commode installation, major plumbing from the front of our home out towards the street (having to go under the driveway, etc.), replumbing for washer and dryer going from inside the home to another location, ....there have been other repairs and new work, all very professionally done and with not just the right parts, but top of the line parts that worked and nothing had to ever be redone. We are very pleased with Emerald Green and that Brian always takes the time to explain what our particular plumbing issue(s) is about and what is needed to correct it. He doesn't mind taking the time to explain details, does not get annoyed when we ask lots of questions; has a great attitude, and this goes a very long way with us. Other plumbers simply wanted to come in, diagnose, get the job done and then hand us a bill. We feel very blessed that we can call on him with great confidence for all of our plumbing needs because he and or Martin always know what to do. His company's service is reliable and trustworthy and we have always found parts and labor costs for various jobs to be within fair pricing limits. No matter whether planned plumbing is in the works, or an emergency call for help, Emerald Green has an excellent reputation for promptly returning calls and ready to help. If you want to have a plumber to work with who truly cares about your issues with your home and you want quality work to be done and someone you can trust who knows what they are doing, we highly recommend Emerald Green Plumbing. Brian Walsh and Martin will go the extra mile to make sure the right solution is in place to get everything up and running again for you. Thank you Brian and Martin for many years of outstanding service. read more
