James was very helpful on the phone even before he arrived, with a couple suggestions of what to do for a leak near our water heater before he could get here the next day. He arrived promptly, exactly on time, was very knowledgeable, solved the problem, for a reasonable price. Very easy to deal with, and a nice guy. Even though he is out of Yucaipa/Redlands, he works in the Coachella Valley and we were very happy with his work. Good, nice guy. read more

I had a water main break on my front yard and i called my previous plumber to come out, but he was busy. Got a call from James right after posting it on YELP. he quoted me a price over the phone after looking at the pictures i posted. He fixed my pipe and it broke again due to high pressure in my neighborhood. I called him back and he showed up within the hour and fixed it at no charge due to his AWESOME warranty on his work. his customer service is EXCELLENT and I am making James my personal plumber moving forward. James is the owner of this company and he is on his way on making this company very successful. Thank you very much James and keep up the good work brother!! read more

My tub was draining super slow. I had already tried a few things myself and I could not get anything to solve the issue. Steve came out within the hour of my request and fixed the issue. He did a quick clean up of the issue and left my restroom with no evidence of being in there. He made no mess and was courteous enough to bring shoe covers. I felt the price was fair for the work that was heavily backed by experience. read more

Late post - The water spicket was leaking heavily in the garage and we couldn't get it to stop, we had to turn off the water. That's when I reached out to James at Essential Plumbing, found him on Thumbtack. James called me back right away, and came right over to take care of the issue. He replaced the entire faucet head making easier to use with the water hose. James performed the repair quickly and neatly. He did a great job, no more leaking. read more

I am happy to give a GREAT review to Essential Plumbing Svcs and its owner, James Sander. I spoke with James regarding a project to remove and replace a toilet in my home. He was available to come out the same day we spoke. I was pleased with the price he offered and set up the service call for the next morning. James arrived on time and as I had located the replacement, he stopped at Home Depot and picked it up as part of the job, also agreeing to dispose of the broken one. James was respectful of my light colored carpet and wore shoe covers anytime he was inside. The toilet was replaced and he also allowed me to pay by credit card without an extra fee, which was another plus. He worked quietly and was in and done in no time and on his way. Great service and personal skills that are often lacking these days. I recommend James and Essential Plumbing with enthusiasm and now have a respected company should I need additional work in the future! read more
