This is five stars plus review for Akamai Plumbing…read more.. Roughly five years ago, our itty-bitty bathroom needed an update in the worst possible way. Relying on word-of-mouth, we decided to engage the services of a handyman familiar with our property to complete the task. While our bathroom project was eventually completed, it never quite measured up to our expectations nor our investment in time or materials. Fast forward five years later and our fiberglass bathtub has somehow been cracked and was leaking water on the downstairs neighbors ceiling. This was a no Bueno situation and it needed to be resolved quickly. We made a quick telephone call to our homeowner's association management team, who in turn, reached out to Robbie with Akamai Plumbing. Robbie was AMAZING to work with from the very beginning. Robbie confirmed the cracked bathtub was responsible for the damage caused downstairs. Of course, this led to a discussion of what are our options were. There were many, we could have the cracked portion of the tub cut out and new fiberglass affixed which would leave a scar. We could rip out the existing components and replace it with a prefabricated shower kit (what we had five years earlier). We could start over from scratch. We opted to start over, and we are so glad that we did. Robbie showed us all the things that were done incorrectly during our last bathroom remodel. We are happy to say our new shower is exactly what we envisioned, and we could not be more pleased. Robbie was very thoughtful and methodical in his every action, from demolishing the problem shower, and down to the minute detail of dry wall, insulation, and all those other details in between when rebuilding a bathroom. Also, we want to throw out a KUDOS to Sean and Joe from McKee Tile for their expertise in bringing our dream shower to life. And, finally, a KUDOS to the guys from Pacific Glass for their expert installation of our hanging glass doors and finishing fixtures. When all is said and done at the end of the day, Robbie gave us the shower we had been dreaming of. Thanks Robbie! We truly appreciate all your hard work on our bathroom project.

If it weren't for Manny, I don't know what kind of nightmare we would have walked into after buying…read moreour home. We hired TL Plumbing to perform a plumbing inspection before purchasing our house, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. Manny took his time and was incredibly thorough, uncovering that the plumbing had been installed incorrectly by the previous owner. It wasn't just a minor issue - it was something that needed to be completely redone. Manny didn't stop at identifying the problem. He stood by us every step of the way, helping us confidently explain to the seller why the work was not up to code and needed to be corrected before we closed on the house. His expertise and willingness to advocate for us quite literally saved us from what could have been thousands of dollars in repairs and countless headaches down the road. What impressed us even more was his dedication. He answered our calls well after business hours and even offered to speak directly with the seller's plumber to ensure the repairs were being done correctly. That level of customer service is incredibly rare. There truly aren't enough wonderful things I can say about Manny. He went above and beyond, and a million thank-yous wouldn't be enough. If you're buying a home, do yourself a favor and get a plumbing inspection....and make sure you call Manny at TL Plumbing. It could end up being the best investment you make during the home-buying process. TL Plumbing has earned our trust for life. They will be our go-to plumber for our home, and they'll be the first company we recommend whenever someone asks, "Do you know a good plumber?"

After having Tom DiNardo Plumbing for many, many plumbing home repairs, for over 10 years, his last visit, in September 2020, was his last visit, EVER, to MY condo!!

Its unfortunate that Ideal was my go-to company for over 15 years. After they sold to private…read moreequity investors, it has not been the same. I gave them two chances since they became Mauzy. The first time was simply for a clogged toilet and while they did come out within 24 hours, they spent more time trying to upsell me on their membership than just fixing my toilet. Yesterday was the last straw. My tankless water heater stopped working and I called them to see if they could come out promptly. The only reason they are getting two stars instead of one is they were able to come out that afternoon. The gentleman that they sent was unfamiliar and under trained to be able to diagnose my tankless water heater. I'll save you the details but he ended up recommending a $1000 part replacement that was unnecessary. Moreover, when he reassembled my water heater, he put a part on backwards that the other plumber I called to actually solve the problem noticed as soon as he took the face plate off. Ultimately, the correct answer was that my tankless water heater needed to be serviced and flushed--far less cost than a needless part replacement. On top of being incompetent, before he even started to diagnose the hot water heater error codes he was working to upsell us on a new $6000 system rather than help us understand how our current system was deficient. When he wasn't up selling us on a new system altogether, he was trying to get us again to join their membership program. Please avoid Ideal Plumbing if you actually want to get honest service that isn't a con job or focused on monthly recurring revenue for Ideal.

I'd scanned Yelp to find a plumber to replace my kitchen faucet. I contacted RDZ and after a nice call said yes, though of course I felt the price was too high, but where did I go to plumber's school? Then the phone calls started, some impersonating RDZ and some trying tp take the job. At that time I felt there was some scam going on, and eventually cancelled the job. Apparently I cancelled it with one of the usurpers and not RDZ. Thanks Yelp for sharing my number with so many other plumbers, I'd estimate at least 6. So poor RDZ was on their way, on a Saturday as requested and called to confirm, and I told them I'd cancelled the job. We were all upset but I'd found a local plumber who only works weekdays. I had an unusually available friend who drove from San Diego to open the house here in Julian, CA. I believe RDZ would have done a fine job were they not overwhelmed by Yelp-driven competition, to the point that just had to shut down the process. In fact before I post let's just raise them to that 5th star. Thanks for reading and I hope you remember this review of Yelp and their practices. And there's my mistake of not taking notes on who was calling, checking for problems. Acknowledged.
