I asked for a new ice line, laundry valves replaced, and garbage processor replaced for my home in Irvine. They provided all the materials and were able to do a great job! Some feedback: - Please create your own professional notification for neighbors in same unit. I had to create my own. - Scheduling mistake. I asked for them to come at a specific Monday, but they arrived the Monday before. Not a big deal on my side, but still felt bad that they came out when they did not have to. read more

I wanted to thank Elbert and his team at Hot Shot Plumbing for a meticulously job well done replacing our former toilet with this beautiful Kohler. Elbert was very friendly, courteous, honest, and efficient - a rare combination of admirable traits that can be found in just one person. Thanks to Hot Shot Plumbing, I now look forward to using the loo as opposed to dreading to use our former powder room toilet. I will never take for granted again the satisfaction of having a highly functioning toilet. So thank you again. :) read more

I called Elbert at Hot Shot Plumbing. He came out the very next day. He is very professional and had our shower repair done perfectly. He was referred by a friend and I am so grateful. We highly recommend Hot Shot Plumbing! read more

Call Hotshot for any/all of your plumbing needs! We hired them for sewer line inspection during escrow bc they were priced favorably compared to our inspection company. Carlos came out within 2 days and did a thorough job. He provided video and location mapping of our sewer pipe all the way to the city line. Then, Elbert came a week later for hydrojet to clear small roots that had invaded the pipe. He was able to show me live video of the cleared pipe. Elbert was also nice enough to look at my other needs and provided estimates for the work within a day. Carlos came back a few days later to install a pressure regulator for the house and escape valve for the water heater. They are efficient, on time, and very responsive to calls, texts, and emails. They respect your property and even wear booties to protect your floor. This level of professionalism is rare. I will be using them for all my future plumbing needs. I highly recommend Hotshot Plumbing read more

Wish I can give this company more than 5 stars. They are very professional and courteous. They were very considerate with their pricing and I will come back to this company again for my plumping needs . I had a major water main leak in my yard from the main service line. Elbert was very quick in response and got me a technician to come out the next day. Mike the technician was awesome and he did a great job in explaining what needed to be done and gave us quotes and a great price. Job was done professionally and was told about everything that he was doing. Can't thank them enough for the job well done . read more

The best in the business! I have been choosing Elbert and his team for years as they give some of the best service around! We've had them replace several pipes in our old home, install a water softener, install toilets and vanities, check leaks, and every time I know I can expect him and his team to take on our plumbing needs. They keep our areas clean (which is a big deal for us) and Elbert is very good at helping me understand the processes and what's going on. If you're in a serviceable area and looking for a reputable plumbing company... check these guys out. I'd recommend them to my entire family. read more

Elbert's quick response was appreciated. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great pricing. Definitely recommend and will call again. Thank you. read more

Reached out for service on a shower leak on Yelp and Elbert responded right away and very responsive. I like Elbert is very transparent and easy to work with. He came in the house with shoe covers (being very respectful!) as the shower is freshly refinished and he made sure he cleaned up and not damage the area while repair. He also went around the house to check each faucet in the house to ensure no leaks and hot water running without me asking him to do the checks. I ended up asking Elbert to replace an old tub shower in another bathroom. He told me to order parts myself on Amazon and came in for replacement. He cleans up the area and makes sure everything is working fine. Definitely recommend Hotshot Plumbing for quality service and customer service. It's been hard to find a good and honest plumber who does quality work and not overcharge for the things you don't need read more

I had an issue with a leaky faucet in the bathroom and it was a doozy to try and get it repaired since my landlord was out of the country. After countless calls, consultations, and whatnot, I have settled with Hotshot Plumbing with my landlord's approval for them to work on the faucet. Elbert and Jesse were absolutely thorough with the process (which turned out to be an entire faucet replacement/pipe replacement) and it was all done within a day. Great value plus excellent service made Hotshot Plumbing a winner in my book! read more

I just had two toilets replaced by Carlos and his partner, these guys were fantastic! They worked quickly and went above and beyond my expectations! They got me quality products at a great price. I really appreciate when people show up on time, and do what they say they're going to do, and are really nice guys! Thanks to Hotshot Plumbing! I will definitely be calling them again for any future projects! read more

Called Hotshot to help out with a bidet installation and Elbert was super helpful and flexible with timing. Thanks again!

Elbert and his crew were able to fix my old Kohler shower faucet. I contacted two other plumbers and they were not able to fix the annoying drip drip leak. My house is old and the part is no longer produced. Elbert researched the special order part and located a replacement from Arizona. The part arrived and Elbert returned to fix my master bedroom shower faucet. Elbert is considerate and knowledgeable about plumbing. He communicates well via text and phone calls. I appreciate his updates so I can plan my schedule accordingly for him and his crew to resolve my plumbing issues in a timely manner. I saved his contact information to my cell phone and will refer him to all of my family and friends. Thank you Elbert and Hotshot Plumbing. read more

First time using Hotshot plumbing and I highly recommend them. From the first phone conversation and when they did the service they were very polite and professional. I will definitely use them again read more

Elbert the plumber and his team diagnosed and fixed the issue professionally, and they were truly honest with fair, reasonable pricing. Finding a plumber you can really trust in California can be harder than winning the lottery, and Elbert at Hotshot Plumbing feels like our lucky break. Thank you, Elbert! read more

I highly recommend Hotshot Plumbing for any plumbing and toilet issues. They repaired my leaking toilet fast and with no problems at a price that is hard to beat. They are super friendly and do not try and upsell you in anything you don't need or don't ask for. An A+ company! read more

I had to replace two faucets. One in the powder room and one in the kitchen. The powder room vanity was small so it was a difficult install. Jesse was able to maneuver through and the install came out great! The kitchen faucet was complete too and came out great as well. Thank you Jesse & Hotshot for the professional service and competitive pricing! 5 Stars!! I would use Hotshot Plumbing again. read more

ELBERT IS THE MAN!!! We called Hotshot Plumbing to fix a leaky bathtub faucet that our previous plumber installed and declined to fix. Elbert came out the same day and had the issue FINALLY fixed within 30 minutes! AMAZING!!! He also pointed out an area of concern with a water line extension on the outside of our house that we will now address. Prompt, knowledgeable, friendly, and fast service for a reasonable price...What more could you ask for? Highly recommend Hotshot Plumbing! read more

Amazing service! Felt like our toilet was having some issues so reached out for help. They came by for a free estimate and was very informative and provided honest insight. I was also running late for our appointment but they were so patient and kind enough to wait for me. Definitely recommend for any plumbing issues! read more

I'm grateful to have found Elbert on Yelp! He was quick to respond with my estimate request and was able to come out the next day for the repair. He and Thomas were friendly, informative and professional - and above all, performed great work. I will definitely be requesting their services again. Highly recommended! read more

I submitted a Yelp request to get a quote on replacing a kitchen faucet. Within minutes, I heard back from several plumbers. All who were Yelp approved had good reviews, but only Elbert from Hotshot Plumbing actually answered my question and gave me a quote. All the other responses were vague or just offered an appointment without mentioning price. After agreeing to meet up, he texted me several times to clarify details. He gave me an actual appointment time, as opposed to a 4 hour window and texted me before arriving so that I knew almost to the minute when he would be here. Elbert was so considerate and answered all of my questions. He put on clean booties and made sure to clean up after himself. He found the source of my problem, which was different from what I suspected. When we needed replacement parts, he offered to go buy the parts and brought back the receipt, charging me only for what he spent on the part. I ended up asking him to do 2 jobs instead of just the 1 because I felt taken care of as opposed to just a job or dollar signs. When he came back the second time, he brought workers he was training. He made sure they wore booties and were polite, too. He supervised them and gave them advise on how to do things, even stepping in to do certain parts himself, as well as check that everything worked. He really seemed to take pride in his work and business. What impressed me the most, though, was the follow-up. That evening, he sent a text asking how everything was working, making sure that everything worked exactly the way I had hoped and offered to come out to make sure it was perfect, if it wasn't. I've never experienced that from a plumber, before. After that, I feel like I have met my forever plumber. Thanks, HotShot Plumbing! read more

5 stars!!! Royce and Carlos helped with tankless water flush and replace with new bathroom sink faucet and even cleaned up afterwards and we had a gfci outlet breaker issue they did their best! Affordable pricing too! read more

Elbert and Carlos helped repair a discontinued Kohler toilet with an electronic flush mechanism. They were very kind and respectful. They troubleshooted the issue thoroughly and let me know what the issue was. Pricing was very reasonable and fair. Very happy and grateful for with their service read more

Honest*Quality*Urgency (9/1/25) Water heater pilot light was not staying lit and no one wanted to come because it was a holiday and everyone quoted high knowing that I was desperate....Except the owner of Hotshot Plumbing! Elmert came to the rescue on a super hot humid day so our family could finally get relief (actually I was the only one that was stressed ). Fixed - best priced - full customer satisfaction. Hey, can't find this type of help nowadays. read more

Very transparent, communicative, and helpful! Will recommend hotshot plumbing service to everyone!

This is my 2nd time using Elbert for hydro jet service to clean out my sewer line due to root intrusion. I had a great experience with him and continue to use him for any plumbing issues. read more

Great service! Called after 440pm, clog in my bathtub, took my info, gave me flat rate price no guessing of prices beforehand which is an added plus! Affordable, quick service, team was very courteous and explained everything. I have saved their number and will be using them for any issues I may have & recommending them to friends & family. read more

Totally excellent Plumbing service. Gentlemen who came respectful for property, worked quickly and understood an issue that I have paid twice to have fixed in the past. Immediately looked looked at it and said it's gotta be this and had it fixed in no time finally a plumbing service that actually knows plumbing read more

I called for a garbage disposal replacement. They came out within 2 hours. Work was done promptly and professionally. Price was very fair

Hotshot Plumbing is the most reliable vendor I have ever used. They are on time, pleasant and professional.

Hot Shot Plumbing did it again. This is my second encounter with them. Backstory: my water heater (Rheem) stopped working, so I contacted Elbert. He responded within minutes. Elbert came the same day and ordered parts for the water heater. When the part arrived, Elbert couldn't make it due to being stuck at another job, so he sent Mike and Albert instead. Mike comes across as a no-BS kind of guy. He's serious but funny at the same time--very straightforward and chill. Albert was assisting Mike. Pretty chill guy as well. Mike changed the parts and was very clear about his assessment on the water heater. He laid out expectations about what might happen. I already knew that the water heater was old and we were basically hoping that the part (under warranty) would fix it. Elbert and Mike pretty much confirmed what I had read on the forums. So far, the heater is working at the moment. I wouldn't be surprised if it fails again since the heater is old and really needs to be replaced. If it does end up needing replacement, I'd definitely give them my business and let them handle it. I will recommend them over and over again. read more

Hotshot has been our plumbing service provider for several years now. Recently we contacted them for a quote to replace all the water pipes in our aging mobile home. The quote we received was lower than others. Since we knew the quality of their work, we gladly decided to give them the job. Not only did the crew do an excellent job in very tight quarters, but they were a pleasure to work with. They are also excellent at keeping you advised via text of scheduling and arrival times. This company really earns their 5-star rating. I can't praise them enough. read more

We had water leaking from the ceiling, but the pipes had been replaced several years ago. Found out that the upstairs tub needed to be re-caulked and sealed with silicone. I like that he didn't try to cut the drywall up to be repaired by someone else, like a previous plumber wanted to do. The next morning, with an assistant it took half an hour to fix the problem. We called them again when the gas company wanted us to replace something with the washer/dryer before the pilot light could be relit. read more

I needed a toilet to be reseated and these guys came to the rescue. Absolutely professional and friendly. Great service, fast and clean work. I'm impressed! read more

Someone recommended these guys to me, and I called them for some issues with the shower fixtures. They fixed it quickly and easily and were honest about it being a simple fix. They do not try to make a problem bigger than it is nor overcharge like other plumbers I called. I would absolutely recommend these guys. Plumbers like these are hard to find nowadays! read more

Great plumbers and will definitely use them again! Came out the day after I reached out and were very fair on price.

It's been 2 years now since Elbert & team helped us out. Not sure how I forgot to leave a review, but his work & service was so good that I was just thinking about it again today after 2 years. I first called him when we were in a pinch and had an emergency leak in the bathroom. He showed up on short notice when nobody else could. Not only did he fix it fast, but he explained & taught us a lot about what was going on & why. Couple months later we decided to remodel the house & needed help with multiple things. We rehired him several more times (I lost count) for everything from new shower plumbing, toilets, multiple sinks, fixtures, etc. He would find stuff/minor issues along the way and explain our options to us, but never in a scammy or salesy way. He always gave us our options. The work, service, team, equipment, and organization/cleanliness are all top-notch. I work in the trades as well and it's really, really hard to find good trustworthy people like this. They will take care of you. I'm up in the Bay Area now, otherwise I'd be hiring him for everything. Hope you're doing well Elbert. Thanks again. read more

Elbert and his crew were amazing. He was able to offer me an estimate over the phone which was helpful He came out on a Sunday to fix my leaking toilet. He arrived on time and was clean and respectful. He was efficient and worked fast to get the job gone correctly. Knowing I had to replace wet drywall, he went the extra mile to see if there was a pipe leak just to be safe. Most companies would have charged more to open up the drywall. I added his name to my contacts as I will definitely call him when needed in the future. Highly recommended! Thanks Elbert!!! read more

I'm usually not one to write reviews but I just had to give my praise and share my thanks to Elbert and his HotShot Plumbing team. Words cannot describe our gratitude for the quality of their work and customer service. My wife and I started experiencing issues with our Niagara toilet and quickly ran to Yelp to find someone to help us fix our problem. After calling a few of these bigger corporations and being taken through the run around of hold tones, limited availability, and even skepticism on the severity of our problem, I eventually landed on HotShot plumbing and their 5 star rating. Immediately upon calling I saw their rating was no fluke, Elbert was quick to answer, personable, patient in hearing out our porcelain issues, and gave me times the DAY OF that he could come diagnose the issue. After working in customer service for years, it meant a lot to feel and share the sense of urgency from him as well. Being already out of my comfort zone in regards to home repair, it goes a long way when people go out of their way to help you feel taken care of. He came a mere few hours later, diagnosed our issue, concluded that the issue happened to be specific to Niagara toilet themselves and gave us a solution. Most people would give us the number to call and leave us to figure it out for ourselves, but not only did Elbert break down the issue, he called Niagara himself and set up a whole correspondence to get us the part we needed! As we waited for the part to arrive, he kept us updated and never faltered with communication. You can imagine the anxiety having to wait in anticipation, so my wife and I were thankful that he continued to touch base. Upon receiving the Niagara specific part, Elbert broke down the price and labor (which was incredibly reasonable) and after agreeing, sent his team to install it. His team was also thorough and communicative. They were efficient and were also very considerate wearing shoe covers throughout the time they were here. Although they completed their job well and without a snag, a few days later we started noticing the same issue, it seems Niagara misdiagnosed the issue and sent us the wrong part. After learning this, I reached out to Elbert and yet again, he came to our rescue, immediately reaching out to Niagara and planning with us a time to come back and make sure it was all resolved. While most companies would have probably wiped the work hands clean, especially since the problem was not their fault but Niagara's, I was surprised at how persistent and relentless Elbert was in making sure our problems were solved and that we were satisfied customers. I was really impressed at the lengths he was willing to go for the customer and the continued friendliness and quality service throughout the span of the job. After Niagara finally sent us the correct part, Elbert came by the same day, installed it, and even followed up with me a few days later on how it was working or if any other issues arose. Through and through, we noticed the thoroughness of HotShot, the quality of their work, the friendliness of their service, and their persistence in making sure their customers are happy and satisfied. It isn't often that you get the personable hospitality and comfort of a Mom and Pop shop but the quality and organization of a big corporation, but HotShot exemplifies that. Although plumbing issues are worrisome, I know if HotShot is on the job we'll be well taken care of. read more
