I came home and found my washing machine leaking out the garage and down the street AND my dishwasher air gap leaking over my counter. I was convinced I had a major block in my drain. I called Guardian and Joshua came out within 45 minutes. He could have told me just about anything and I would have agreed to it as I know nothing about plumbing. After looking at my leaking problems Joshua cleaned out my air gap on the dishwasher. He showed me how to do it so if it ever happens again I'll know what to do. He looked at the washing machine and said it wasn't a plumbing issue but a appliance repair issue. Joshua saw where the machine was leaking water from and tightened the part best he could - which temporarily stopped the leaking. The price was beyond fair for what he did. Joshua was very polite, clean and most importantly honest. I highly recommend Guardian Plumbing. read more

All I can say is, WOW!! John and Jason came out and found what was causing a leak that NOBODY else could. We had at least five different companies come out that failed to find the problem. John and Jason were punctual, professional, and AMAZING! I would only use this company again should we have any other problems read more

I had draining problem at my backyard. Called and get estimate couple company. some estimated as much as 2500.00. Called Guardian and talked with tony and he sent Josh and within 1hour he clear the root in the pipe and charge very resonable price. Several weeks later I had water leak in my sister's house, called tony and he can't come due to busy schedule. But he was kind enough to trouble shooting the problem over the phone which lead into find and fix problem. Awesome man he is... Thank You Tony. read more

Excellent! Very pleased with Guardian and the team who worked on my leak, slow drain and installed a unit to provide hot water to my kitchen sink. Great communication, we had to shuffle the appointments but again good communication. Thanks Very Much~Will definitely refer to our neighbors and use in the future. read more

Tony and James were absolutely great to work with. I needed to replace the gate valve on my main line. There was a lot of time/schedule coordination needed with the HOA and local water department. They were able to help coordinate and replaced the valve quickly. Price was reasonable. Thank you guys for being on time, efficient and easy to work with! I definitely recommend Guardian Plumbing. read more

Guardian Plumbing saved my bacon AGAIN! Look at the number of repeat customers on Yelp. You can now add us to that list as this was our second time! Professional and reliable from the first call. We had an emergency leak on an exterior pipe and needed someone "Code Three," on a Sunday! I thought the situation was FUBAR for sure, being a weekend. Not only was Guardian able to accomadate me but the office manager called several times to update me on my technician's status as he was finishing up another job. When "George R." arrived he was friendly, professional and competent. He went right to work and had the repair completed in no time. Great attitude, sense of humor, and representative of the company. I will not hesitate to use them and/or recommend them again in the future! read more

Tony came in for me today he was on time with the right equipment he did both restrooms for us. Fast and sufficient. Great job Tony ! Thank you. read more

They come out to our house within a few hours - depends on our plumbing problem.. very honest and reliable

Guardian Plumbing is wonderful, I had problem with my water heater Tony came right away even during this time and fixed the problem right away and gave me great advice how to maintain the water heater. Tony is very trust worthy and reliable. Highly recommend Guardian Plumbing to everyone for plumbing service. read more

Guardian Plumbing came out today and I'm very pleased with everything they repaired. I'll use them again if needed. Used Guardian Plumbing again. Great job. I would recommend them every time. James installed a new faucet today and as usual did an excellent job. Great work and such a nice guy! I'll always recommend them! read more

Prompt, clean, professional and reasonably priced. Replaced an old gas water heater from 1996 that was leaking into the pan below. Prompt: Came during the 1 hour window of time he had given me. I called him on a Wednesday afternoon and he was able to do the job on Saturday morning. Clean: Put tarps down on our carpet. Vacuumed the water heater closet, which had blown insulation all over the place from an insulation job done the day prior. Professional: Showed me how to turn off incoming gas and water to the unit, as well as how to shut off the main gas and water lines coming into the house. (I've been meaning to find out how to turn off the gas for emergencies, but you know how that goes.) Had good manners. Reasonably Priced: Tony was recommended by my handyman Joe from SoCal Mr Fix It, but I got a couple other quotes from companies rated 4.5 and 5 on Yelp. One was $1100 and another $1676, while Tony did it for $950 (quote was given over the phone). Tony explained to me that in the last few years California has changed regulations on the design of water heaters so that (1) they have no external pilot light and (2) the emissions are reduced. That's why water heaters have gone from being fairly inexpensive to being very expensive. Tony installed a Bradford White Eco-Defender Safety System Ultra Low Nox Series Energy Saver unit (40 gallon, 40k BTU, natural gas) model #U4-40T6FRN), which has a 6 year warranty. This model has a retail price of $790 according to one web site I found. A comparable GE unit on Home Depot's web site is $468 (40 gallon, 38k BTU, natural gas, high efficiency, ultra low NOx, 6 year warranty, model #GG40T06TXK00). I'm happy to have a water heater that is safe, with no leaks and properly strapped. Before the new unit, I had also noticed the water did not stay hot for very long when I showered. It now stays hot for as long as I've needed it and I don't have to turn the dial as far to get hot as I did before. Job took about 2 hours to do, including showing me how to shut off stuff. read more

A well deserved 5 star rating. Came home from working all night to both bathrooms backed up. Needless to say, I panicked, attempted to self cure (epic fail), and then fell back on yelp. Saw the 5 start rating and read a few comments which had me sold. Josh arrived about 35-40 minutes later and had everything working properly in about 15 minutes. Not only did I receive great service but Josh was very personable, very customer oriented and just a nice person in general. Guardian, you have an excellent employee in Josh. Thanks again. K. T. read more

Tony is great!! He was able to make time to fit me in last minute, and was super knowledgeable and efficient at fixing my issues. He wore a mask and was overall a really nice guy...I will be calling again if I have any other issues! read more

These guys are prompt. They came ahead of the scheduled time, worked extremely cleanly, and did the job for a very reasonable price. Thank you! read more

Look no further. Tony and his team are awesome. Best and most reasonable pricing than all the rest. Trust me. Give Tony a call, he gives you a free quote over the phone, and he knows what's he's talking about, honest and fair. I'm very happy I went with Guardian Plumbing. I finally got some projects done at home at a great price. Thank you so much! read more

We've been customers of Tony's for a long time, since before he had his own business. His work has always been great and his prices have been fair. We were reluctant when he wanted to send his associates, Joshua and Bradley. But rather than wait for Tony to be available, we went ahead. We were pleasantly surprised. They were prompt, friendly, professional, cleaned up and were able to repair the four problems we were having. We would not hesitate to have Tony or his associates back when the need arises. read more

Looking at the yelp reviews for Guardian Plumbing, I was concerned that they were not "real" because 99.9% of them gave 5 stars! But, we said, what the heck, the price was much better than other quotes and my husband liked the customer service when he called. Joshua did an excellent job on a difficult shower valve change-out and Rob did a great job on the kitchen faucet change-out. Tony even stopped by to check on everything. They were on-time, polite, clean, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Great plumbing company, and we are recommending them to everyone we know in the area. This is an update...had Joshua out again to fix another plumbing issue. He did a fantastic job, was very helpful, professional, and friendly. Still impressed with Guardian Plumbing! read more

Tony is the best. I've called him multiple times over the years for something as simple as a clogged toilet to something much more complex. I appreciate that he is so honest and fair, and he does great work at good prices. He answers all my questions, and goes out of his way to help me figure out the right options. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tony! read more

Tony is the VERY BEST!! He's a great guy, very honest and does great work! I've used him for the past 10 (?) years, and recommend him to everyone I can. Guardian Plumbing is the way to go! read more

Tony came to fix a few problems in one of the bathrooms. He is honest and only did what was necessary. He fixed all the problems perfectly and his prices are reasonably. I like supporting our local businesses, and will continue to use Guardian Plumbing for any plumbing services. read more

Tony and his team are wonderful! After gathering multiple bids, my aunt and uncle recommended Guardian Plumbing and I'm so glad they did! Guardian was much less expensive than the other bids I received and Tony knew exactly what the issue was when we described what was going on. James worked quickly, cleaned up the area where he was working and did a fantastic job. Guardian Plumbing has another customer for life. No need to look elsewhere! Thanks for everything and although we hope we don't have another reason to see you too soon, I'm thankful we have someone trustworthy to call next time! read more

I highly recommend Guardian Plumbing. I called with a broken pipe under my kitchen sink. Tony was professional and took care of my problem quickly. He also addressed my an issue with my washing machine backing up and a slow drip in my shower. These second two issues I asked for after he arrived. He took care of them with no issue. His pricing is also very fair and reasonable. I will call him again if I need plumbing help. read more

The team came to fix my broken main water line. Not only was the quote great, the service was fast and efficient. I found them through yelp and it looks like I made the right decision. Will definitely consider them again for any other plumbing issue. read more

Tony came out the same day I sent for a quote and fixed my faulty shower valve and clogged drains quickly and efficiently. He was kind enough to remove his shoes before entering my home. Thanks Tony! read more

Oh wow!!!! Josh just got done at my home. He arrived promptly (no waiting for hours) He first replaced my outdoor faucet. Then he cleaned out the kitchen drain. Installed a new garbage disposer. Fixed a small leak. i never asked for an estimate over the phone. Then it was time for the bill to be presented to me. I could not believe how reasonable it was. It blew me away and almost brought tears to my eyes because so many people that have done work for me have taken advantage of me and also gouged me on the prices. It was just a wonderful day for me. Josh is really a special man. If you read this Josh, have a great time in Catalina. read more

Have used them twice now(different issues) and both times Tony was great about setting up time and staying in contact. Joshua came out on both occasions arriving on time and handling the jobs quickly. Very happy with the work and price. I will be using them for all my plumbing needs from now on. Highly recommended. read more

I want to thank all yelpers, who wrote great reviews about Guardian, not only they made Joshua cry (He told me, that's what happened after his wife urged him to read those reviews, after I said "So, You ARE the famous Joshua in all the rave Yelp reviews, ...), I found a trustworthy pluming company, and a caring plumber, Joshua, who replaced the pressure regulator, main valve and a tub shoot, at reasonable $ (quoted by Tony over the phone, after I texted over pictures.), at about the same price quoted by my handyman, he quoted me with certain hesitation, that reminded me some of his unsuccessful attempts that I paid twice for ..., prompted me to find a real plumber This time. My husband is legally blind, so when Joshua asked to turn the indoor faucets on and then off, I went in and out, while my husband stayed by Joshua's side, iPhoned me what to do, then he called again, urgently asked me to go find out what's going on, when our neighbor Teddy across street, approached my husband first, requesting Joshua to do something, seeing my husband was totally confused, Teddy turned and asked Joshua directly, and according to my husband, Teddy and Joshua left immediately, went checking for some water leak, when I was out, I was surprised to see Joshua in hyper speed, trudging in and out of two flooded front yards of our next door neighbors, checking both their water meters, clearing the drainage, then reassured Teddy, there's no leak, since both houses's water meters were not running, we're all relieved, while walking back to my house, Joshua was shocked, that Teddy lived across the street, and Teddy's not the owner of the two next door houses, he told Teddy that he could be in serious trouble ....., I thanked Joshua for taking time off his busy schedule, helping my neighbor helping other neighbors while they're not home, he told me that Teddy's doing a good deed, just like him, and he's done many ..., and jokingly said, no good deed goes unpunished, and he never mined that, what a caring plumber with such good heart! With my failing memory, and unstructured thought, this review took a lot longer for something barely happened last Tuesday morning, I'm so ready now to go support the top and near top chefs during the slow time, eat my heart out again (six straight days so far and eight more happy days ahead!) at the Newport Beach Restaurant Week! read more

This company truly lives up to it's name! I was frantically trying to find a plumber at 9:00 am for a bad water leak inside the bathroom wall and was not able to get an appointment with other places until the next day. I called Tony and he rearranged his schedule to get me a 11am-12pm appointment the same day. He arrived on time with James (I think), does fast professional work, and is completely affordable! He does impressive work and truly saved my day! These reviews do not lie, call him!!! read more

I just recently bought my first house and have been hiring contractors left and right. All of them found from Yelp, only one contractor (the landscaper) has failed me. Not Tony though, he is great. I don't know where he stands on pricing as I didn't call for other estimates. It was a Saturday, I had nothing to do, so I thought I would look for someone to install the reverse osmosis (RO) water filter that I got my mom for xmas. Surprisingly, Tony answered on Saturday.. and after the job was done.. I called because I thought my water heater was down and he answered on a Sunday too. That's good stuff. Here are the highlights: * Originally quoted $175 to install the RO filter only. * Decided that since he was going to do some pipe work that I might as well get the whole kitchen sink redone. He looked and sounded like he knew what he was doing and a down right guy. So I went ahead with the whole thing. I think I took up a good chunk of his Saturday. Sorry! * Tony helped me look up some sinks on Home Depot's (HD) website and taught me about the different brands and gauges. The Elkay sink he recommended was not in stock at my local HD, but he said KOHLER was good too. He also helped me with picking a faucet set that came with a soap dispenser (LOVE that thing, best part about the sink, haha). So I hurried myself to HD to buy the items. * I bought the sink, the RO filter, and the faucet. Tony's labor/expertise included miscellaneous piping and fixtures for $541. Well worth it. * The piping job he did was clean, looks good, looks professional, and the sealing is invisible. He spent a few good hours at it and didn't rush anything. * AND.. apparently, my RO filter was defective and started leaking the next day. Tony came over within a few minutes of calling him and found the defected area. He said I should go return it and get another one. He showed me how to switch it out myself and if I couldn't do it he would come back to do it for me at no charge. What a nice guy! But it was a simple task and I managed to complete it myself. * He even cleaned up his work place. The cabinet under my sink looked cleaner than how I gave it to him. * My new sink looks awesome.. Tony cleared up the minor leak we had and the water isn't cloudy anymore! Those were extra perks for me that Tony didn't realize he did until the end. * SOOO.. this guy is great.. apparently Jessica C. (below) thinks that he's a rip off. Even if he is, it's a good rip off. Job well done! I love my sink, works great, and love the bottle water taste!!! My next project will be the entry door and a few other little things here and there and then I will be working on the bathroom which I will definitely be hiring Tony to do the plumbing. Gotta start saving for the bathroom. Thanks Tony! P.S. He takes credit cards but there is a % fee. He is also dog friendly. :) read more

This is probably the first 5 star rating I've EVER given. JOSHUA was beyond awesome! So courteous and friendly, not to mention PROFESSIONAL. He was honest about thing, never tried to rip me off or tell lies to make the problem seem bigger than it was. He even taught me a few tricks to prevent the problems from existing in the future. I highly recommend everyone out there who calls this place to ask for Joshua. read more

Haven't called and not had the phone answered yet. Great first sign with any company. Tenants had water gushing from the washer clean out. Tony went out quickly and fixed the problem at a very reasonable cost. Tenant is happy, client is happy, I'm happy. Win/win/win!!! read more

I have used Tony as a plumber for both my clients and myself for over 5 years. He does an outstanding job and charges a fair price. He has remodeled both bathrooms and installed a water heater for me. He has done numerous repairs for my real estate clients. He shows up on time, is clean, and cleans up. read more

Well, had a plumbing problem today before Easter weekend, just like that, problem became an emergency! I called, Tony answers, we quickly discuss situation. He said he would call back. Less than 10 mins later, he calls to give a reasonable quote. He shows up at my door a half hour later. Very professional and polite. Completed the job quickly, no other problems. I like the way Tony operates. Perhaps this was a one-time event with perfect timing. He will be the one for any issues in the future. Thank you Tony. read more

A great company that provides great plumbing service. Tony has always managed to accomodate our family -- sometimes even on a short notice. For example, yesterday our water heater stopped working. We called Tony and even though he already had a busy schedule today, he managed to squeeze us in. He both fixes plumbing and he explains how to make things better. You cannot get better than this. read more

Guardian Plumbing are true professionals. They are knowledgeable, hard working and honest. Joshua Hernandez is outstanding. He will make the effort to find the best solution to your plumbing problems. I highly recommend them. read more

Joshua was the sweetest! So professional! He replaced my handle on my toilet using metal not plastic. He was right on time and just a sweetheart I recommend Guardian Plumbing to everyone I know. read more

I received a call from Tony less than an hour I sent my inquiry for our water heater tank that was making a loud rumbling and vibrating noise. He gave me a decent estimated quote over the phone. It was very reasonable compare to other plumbing companies I spoke with. He was punctual and very professional in his field. The issue was fix in less than an hour and he reduced the price since he did not have to drain the tank (as what he first thought on his initial assessment over the phone).Their name perfectly suits their company because they are indeed a heaven sent. Highly recommended! Very reliable. Thank you Tony! read more

I called Guardian plumbing to install a new waterline for our fancy new fridge. They were able to have someone come by within a few days. Joshua came by and did the install. He was very polite and straight to the point. I don't know the specifics of placing a new waterline but I assumed it would take a few hours. Therefore, I was in awe when Joshua was done within an hour. He was very efficient and did a great job cleaning up after himself. The price was reasonable as well. Will definitely use Guardian for our future plumbing needs. read more

We always request Joshua for any plumbing related fixes we need around the house. He is courteous and funny and his work is quality and quick at the same time. We recently called him to fix the bathtub because there were a few things bothering us, and he was able to replace the shower head with a spare he had in the truck, fix the pull-tab that changes it from bath to shower, and also totally fix the knob for changing the temperature 'cause that was all messed up from a previous renovation. All in less than 2 hours, probably closer to 1 hour. He was on time for the appointment and accommodated our request for no shoes in the house (Asian household!), plus his pricing is fair, especially for the quality of the work. He is definitely our go-to for any and all plumbing needs around the house. read more

Tony came out when he said he would. Fixed our problem in no time flat. Tony was very nice and polite. Will definitely use him again if I have any plumbing issues in the future. I will also be telling anyone who needs a plumber in my area about Guardian Plumbing. Great work, Great Price. read more
