This guy is a crook and a snitch. I this guy for anything be careful. he tried to come out to do my place and try to charge me an outrageous price. And after I declined his service, he ended up snitching to the city I got everything fixed for a fraction of the price of what he was charging. I don't understand these plumbers. They are not surgeons. Doctors or lawyers piping and cleaning out sewer read more

Art, the owner, is very knowledgeable in the plumbing field. He is very honest and goes above and beyond to make sure I as his customer (with a large job) was satisfied with his company's work. Pedro his employee was absolutely a pleasure to work with and had the very large job completed in 3 days. Art and his company will always be the very first plumber that I will call. Thank you Art and Pedro for a job very well done. I would give you 7 stars if I could. read more

We called this company to come out and unplug a drain. The drain was plugged with tampons and washable wipes. These are horrible for your plumbing. I wanted to explain to the technician to run a lot of water down the sink and shower while he is sneaking out the drain. I'm a real estate developer, I built this 20 unit four-story property and I know a little bit about what's going on. Before I could even share with him what I wanted him to do with the water, he says I'm sorry you're gonna let me do it my way or I'm not doing it at all... Then he packed his shit and left and didn't do the work. I thought I would give this company another chance and it was absolutely a waste of time. I called the manager and they told me "we're so sorry" and I can go screw myself. This is a horrible company... End of story. They will never get another chance! read more

Long Beach Plumbing Company - All three of these plumbing companies are the same company - Plumbing Near Me - Long Beach, California

UPDATE: after getting in touch with the owner (Art), he agreed to reduce the bill to $650 for the jetting service to clear the clog and some of the roots in our pipe. Here is the old review before getting in touch with the owner: YOU WILL want to READ THIS.... PLEASE. This is to be our long time trusted plumber, but no longer. We have done over $10K of plumbing over 2-3 needed plumbing upgrades and again for clearing a sewer drain 2 times. Art used to be great, but it seems like he's out of the picture. If you see this Art, please give me a call. If Cesar is not an accurate representation of the company, I would like to know. All of the following is working with Cesar at Long Beach Plumbing company. He also has a company called Gold Standard Plumbing so I would avoid that as well. (There is a Cesar the plumber at 24/7 pro rooter as well, but it's not the same Caesar! This one is excellent!) SUMMARY: they have quoted me for an extra $5K for something that was already upgraded (thinking I would not know) and charged us ~$1000 for jetting a drain (previously charged us $200) plus fraudulent 10% tax upcharge. (Services are nontaxable in California) Recently we had to clear a clog in our main sewer line because roots are growing into the old clay pipe. They gave us 3 prices for fixing the old pipe. 1-was first fiberglass sleeving our main sewer line ~$7k 2-replacing the iron half with a new pipe and fiberglass sleeving the clay pipe half ~$9k 3-2nd quote plus replacing other cast-iron drainpipes that come from our old bathroom and kitchen sink/laundry that supposedly needed to get replaced ~$14k HERE'S THE PROBLEM-when another very trustworthy plumbing company (beach plumbing) crawled under the house and took video and all of the extra cast-iron that needed to be replaced (additional $5K) was already ABS (already upgraded-does not need to be replaced!). This is super deceptive because they had done all of our previous plumbing and would know this. Previously they did the plumbing for a new half-bath and upgraded bath, with new plumbing. Obviously you want to get a couple quotes when you have a project this expensive, so I got 3 additional quotes. We ended up using 24/7 pro rooter because they were $5400 for the same sleeving job and $3200 for pipe bursting/pipe pulling which completely replaces all of the old pipe, and is a way better solution in my opinion because it's a brand-new pipe that will last 100+ years (versus pretty thin fiberglass epoxy that has to be done by someone skilled). After they knew we were going with someone else, They charged us over $950 for jetting our main sewage line, including a fraudulent tax charge. See the invoice below. Services like plumbing are nontaxable in California. They absolutely know this and are trying to be sneaky. When I mentioned it they changed it to a 10% up charge for fuel. They're just being vengeful and extremely unprofessional IMO. I hope this helps a lot of people make the right decision. Just be sure to get a couple quotes before anyone comes out. I'm sure they probably do great work, but for both the sleeving and if they did pipe pulling they would sub it out. read more

Like many other one star reviews you'll see for this company, I had used Long Beach Plumbing before for multiple call outs. This time we worked with Cesar. We were quoted for two prices on a flush of our duplex. It was explained that if the system was connected it would be one price but if the systems were not then it would be more expensive. Okay, that makes sense. The technician came out and flushed the system from one clean out and left. When we spoke to Cesar he said that the technician had flushed two separate systems. Then we said, no we have your technician on camera flushing one system and leaving. Surprise, surprise now confronted with video evidence, Cesar, "misunderstood" his technician. Worse part, they still charged us the price for the quote of flushing two systems. We were told by Cesar that he would call us to have us make the payment over the phone but didn't receive a call from him. We tried calling him but it went straight to voicemail. Later that evening he texts us after 7:30 pm and then again at 9:30 pm stating, I have a technician outside your house to take the payment. What reputable business sends out a technician at 9:30 pm to take a payment from a client. We ended up paying the invoice online (which we would have done if Cesar hadn't said he'd call us to take a payment in the first place). Overall, this was a horrendous experience and this is getting reported to every government agency that has oversight on these matters. read more

Long Beach Plumbing Company - Plumbing Near Me - Long Beach, California

UPDATE: I hired my Corporate plumbers (J&D Plumbing) to fix the hack work done by Long Beach Plumbing. The owner, Art, actually threatened to remove the water heater and threatened my family. I have 3 special needs children and I had to call the police to intervene. What a bully!! J&D Plumbing of Long Beach did a wonderful job and fixed the plumbing code violations from Long Beach Plumbing. STAY AWAY! If you don't like the work, the owner Art will threaten you. Thank God we have cameras surrounding our property so we cannot be harassed and have proof. read more

Long Beach Plumbing Company - Now the housing door closes per code. - Plumbing Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

This is the 2nd time Long Beach Plumbing Co has fixed something another company fouled up, but THIS time it could have cost thousands (and I was prepared for it), and it did not. They are high quality and affordable. This company's owner understands the way to resource a job is to utilize less costly resources for simple work (like digging down to a sewer) and higher cost, experienced resources to actually diagnose and solve the problem. This company is the epitome of why I use owner-operated companies for contract work now. And -- lucky Orange County -- they're going to be opening an office there soon. I cannot say enough good about this company. Art (owner) and Lexo (project head plumber) were AMAZING. There were more than a few moments where things just did not make sense. They not only figured it out, they fixed something that makes NO sense (see the picture). If you want the gory details, keep reading. Im 2003, another company installed new trenchless sewer line for the front house. Instead of installing a clean out at the farthest point from the street, they installed a one-way clean-out from the front house of the front house (about 40' closer to the street.) Yesterday LBPC told me what the problem was, and there were two options: 1. Put a hole in the sewer to do the jet cleaning then plug it afterwards, or 2. Install a two-way clean-out so that it would never have the access problem again. Option 2 added about 4 hours of work -- after about 12 hours of work to get to solution #1 which has to be done anyway. NO BRAINER! Of course I want it fixed so it can never happen again. If the original people (who I am angry with for not providing me with the opportunity to choose then when it would have cost nothing extra, even though it was 15 years ago) had given me such clearly laid out options, it would have been done right the first time. read more

Called Art at Long Beach Plumbing Company at around 6:30 am on a Saturday. Mike Smith arrived around 7:30. I had a clogged toilet and shower. The toilet had to be removed to fix the clog. Mike was exceptional. He had the clog fixed toilet back in place and everything cleaned up by around 9:30. Mike was very clean, quick, informative and professional. Reasonable price considering it was an urgent situation with very short notice and on a weekend. Would recommend these guys to anyone. Thanks again to Art and to Mike Smith. read more

The guys were able to come out immediately on a Wednesday evening to fix a leak that flooded part of the house. They were able to diagnose the problem and locate the broken pipe quickly even though it was dark. They dug down in the side yard and skillfully broke through some concrete to fix the issue. True lifesavers on short notice, can't thank them enough for the service! read more

Message them for a quote due to my washer clogged pipe and got respond fast and they're cheapest, Jose came the same day, very nice guy, very professional. So I hired them to repipe the whole house (replaced all pipes with copper) new water heater, it's not cheap but it needed to be done. The company sent 5 guys arrived at my door 8 am 3 bedroom 2 bath home, walked out my door before 6 pm. The crew love animals, did a good job, very professional. read more

Long Beach Plumbing Company - Plumbing Near Me - Long Beach, California

I wanted to replace my tanked water heater for tankless. I Called Long Beach plumbing company based off yelp reviews. I am very handy with house projects but with plumbing I leave it too experienced plumbers. There was problems with my gas sizing. They worked with me on different options and opinions to save on costs, which is very honest and upfront. We proceeded with the work and the job ran smooth. Very professional, quality, and quantity. I will definitely recommend and use in future. read more

Called LB Plumbing for an emergency leak late on a Friday night. They had an ok response time (1 hr) and applied a temp fix to stop the water. Unfortunately their fix failed the next day and resulted in another flooding of our property. I called to have them return, but dealt with poor communication and lack of response for 2 more day requiring us to have our water off for over 30 hrs. Overall it took 3 1/2 days and $250 to get a PVC waterline capped...and I still need to get the actual repair done. Overall, pretty disappointed in the service and value. Wouldn't use again. read more

I called Long Beach Plumbing on Wednesday to set up an appointment to fix a gas line to my fireplace. 24 hours later they fixed the gas line and my fire place is ready for the winter (or lack there of). Everyone was transparent, nice, and helpful throughout the whole process. Primo was the guy who did the repairs. When he was done he made sure all the gas lines were working and restarted my water-heater. I found Long Beach Plumbing here on Yelp and they do live up to the hype. I will be using them for future plumbing projects I have. read more

I used them again today, and I'm glad I did. I was tempted to do the job myself, but after Art got here and evaluated it, I knew I would have been in big trouble and would have ended up calling him anyway. This time, he replaced a shutoff valve that wouldn't open. It literally took him longer to get the parts than it did to do the job. The price was great, too! I'll definitely be calling them again, or referring them to friends, whenever something comes up! read more

No matter how many hours of HGTV I watch, I know plumbing will beyond my expertise. Add in a few building code requirements and now we're looking at additional challenges. Although I would love to be the jackhammer operator, I'm grateful we found a team that was a bit flexible with the quick changes in requirements we had last minute from the City. These guys will be our list of "go-tos" if we have any problems or just need to do some preventative maintenance. read more

We had a pinhole leak close to our water meter and needed a quote and repair. We had one company come out and quote us $650 just to troubleshoot the issue. Then stated, "well this can be in the couple of thousands to fix" without even troubleshooting it. Sadly, we went through several quotes like this before getting to Long Beach Plumbing. Long Beach Plumbing came out and quoted hundreds if not thousands less than some of the other companies. They explained the process of repair and were able to fix it very quickly. So, if you want an honest, respectful, and prompt plumbing company I'd highly recommend Long Beach Plumbing Company. read more

PRIMO was here and he was GREAT! Give that man a raise! Thank you to Primo and Long Beach plumbing for solving me and my neighbor's problem. My neighbor below me told me she started having a leak in her ceiling for several days so we thought it might be coming from us. Like so many other Yelpers, I immediately used Yelp to find the top plumbers in Long Beach and these guys were very quick to respond and work with both me and my neighbor's schedules. Primo was friendly, courteous and knowledgeable and was able to diagnose the problem very quickly. Both me and my neighbor are now much HAPPIER! Thanks again guys! read more

Answered the phone during off hours so I guess that's a positive - have a leak in my attic and water shut off. Called at 6:30 AM on a Friday and can't come until Monday. They have reviews saying "took care of you while you were in distress" to people who complained about the price. I decided to call despite a review about how they were talked to on the phone because I needed someone today. Why say you are 24 hours in your ad and can't come for four days? I won't ever call this place again. read more

I met Art at a buyer inspection and he was great and thorough. The estimates made at the end had all the details that I needed as well. There was a slight misunderstanding that was on the basis of my realtor, but I would gladly hire Art and his team for the fixes or any future needs. Thanks again for your time! read more

Highly recommend! Our water heater broke and we called Art- he said he'd arrive in one hour and he did (in fact he was early)! Assessed the situation, gave us various options to fix our problem and offered a very fair quote for repair/replacement. He was friendly, prompt and we had hot water within 4 hours of calling him. Thanks so much! Will definitely use him again read more

Called Long Beach Plumbing as I've used them before and was satisfied with their work. Well that was then and this is now. Called as I have a gas leak and needed it repaired. They did come out quickly which I appreciate but did not test the system for gas leaks and said they capped the gas line to heater. Gas company came back out and said we still have leak(which we get to pay a service fee for.) Called another plumber, took pictures and nothing was done. Super bummed and hope thus doesn't happen to anyone else response to comment. you guys turned the valve off which takes 2 seconds. That is not capping the line. All other companies I spoke with would cap and test the line to ensure no leak is present. My wife even showed the service ticket the Gas Company wrote up. read more

We had a plumbing issue they worked on and after trying to fix the problem through the wrong clean for hours they claimed to have solved it and left but the problem Resurfaced while Mike was still sitting in the truck in front of our house. They still wanted to charge a good amount and the only reason I am giving two stars is because Art settled on a lower number... i wouldn't have daré to charge for wasting my time and not fixing anything! read more

Extremely unprofessional. Called the number, was then texted by a different number that the plumber would reach out to his technician. The technician then texted me and said everyone was busy and he would be at my place at 7AM the next day. I confirmed the appointment, then the technician never showed up! I woke up at 6AM on my day off to meet him, nothing happened. I texted, received no response until 9:30AM claiming he overslept. I will not be using this service again. read more

I scheduled an appointment for repairs for June 25, 2019 between 8 am to 10 am. At 10 am I receive a text, advising me that the tech is leaving as he couldn't gain access. However, my tenant's cell phone number was provided; she had been waiting with her phone by her side all morning. She never received one call. I called their office. I received a call back simply telling me they need to reschedule; no apologies or explanations. I rescheduled the appointment to June 27, 2019 from 4 pm to 6 pm. My tenant had to rearrange her schedule for this. On June 27th, my tenant advises that no one showed up, again. However, someone apparently contacts her to advise that they can come at 8 pm later that evening. My tenant was not too keen on working with them. I understood and allowed her to make the decision. I have not received a call or any communications from this company since then. It's not the end of the world to wait and have no one appear. However, to do that twice to a customer and waste their time is unacceptable, especially for a business. I understand some people dream of being a business owner when they really don't have the capabilities to be one. Unfortunately, it takes certain consideration, skills, knowledge, and abilities to operate a business. There are plenty of other plumbing companies with far superior customer service or just common courtesy. We're adults, time is very precious. read more

I called Long Beach Plumbing in the morning about a clogged drain. Talked to Art who was professional and easy to understand. We agreed on a time for him to come out to my place and fix the drain. He was suppose to call before he came out, since I don't live at the location and must have forgotten about that, but my tenant was there, so it didn't cause a problem. He fixed the drain quickly and charged a reasonable price with no discussion of upgrades. I'm very satisfied and would use Long Beach Plumbing again. read more

I reached out to Long Beach Plumbing Company to get a fix for my house and a quote. It was a really easy process. However, they took a few days to get back to me. The prices seemed reasonable and even offered to check a few days later to ensure everything was working as it should. I thought that this was a great feature to their service. On the day itself, they seemed somewhat laid back about the whole process. The project was delayed as a result of slow performance and missing supplies, but when it was done, everything seemed to be ok. I took two days off work for this, I think it could have been done in one! read more

Called them in the morning and told me between 4-7 pm. Called at 4:30 to advise that they were ready to dispatch and it would 155 to go out to snake the drain and if any other issues it would be $250+. Then told me they wanted my credit card number before even going out. My normal plumber charges $87.50 to snake a drain. While never used them for the work, I would never call them again. I own several rentals and know what the standard practice is - this totally not acceptable or Normal! read more

Thankfully I didn't have an emergency situation, but my kitchen sink's pipe started leaking water. We had tried to fix it before but it needed to be replaced. I messaged these guys last night, received a response within a couple mins from the owner that he would call me the next morning. Sure enough, Art calls me at around 8am, asks if 9am-11am would be good for me, yes! Two polite men (I don't remember their names) arrived at around 10am, and were done and gone by 11am. I think the entire job took them about 30 mins. I didn't have to spend my only day off waiting around for some flaky plumber. I don't know much about pipes, but it doesn't leak anymore. They explained everything they needed to do and it was reasonably priced. Thank you! read more

Called them in the afternoon for a draining problem with my shower, sent a guy less than an hour later to fix it. Communication was easy and fixed the issue. read more

I just drove down to see my mom for Mother's Day in Long Beach, and when I walked in, I could tell we needed a plumber to come out immediately. I went on yelp, and Long Beach Plumbing Company was the first name I saw. I called Art out of desperation on a Friday afternoon, and here's how everything unfolded. 2:00pm: My wife, son and I pull up to my mom's house. 2:01pm: Very clearly evident that we need a plumber. 2:04pm: I find Long Beach Plumbing Company on Yelp. I speak with Art and he says he can be out to give me a quote in 45 minutes. I'm sure that means 3 hours, but at least I'll be able to get a quote today. Maybe I can schedule service for Monday. Fingers crossed. 3:09pm: I'm shaking Art's hand after the job is completed perfectly. 65 minutes from the time I yelped "plumbers" until the job was completed, and we had running water with no standing sewage. If this review doesn't make you want to use these guys, then you're looking for bad service. Because these guys are the best that I've ever worked with. Thanks again Art. read more

I had a difficult time containing a gas link that I noticed while doing a kitchen reno. Called them emergently, and they responded promptly and arrived at my house late at night. Was able to replace a worn out gas valve and stopped the leak immediately. Communicated to me what was going on, and made sure to clean up after themselves. Really appreciated their service, would highly recommend them. read more

Woke up to a busted cartridge in our shower faucet such that the water was going full blast and I had to turn off the main water for the whole house. I called LBPC at 8 a.m. and they were at my house by 9:30. The job was done within 30 minutes and was reasonably priced. Thank you! read more

It was Sunday morning and my my kitchen sink was clogged and leaking. I live in a condominium and some plumbing companies refuse to work at our pipes. BUT I called LBPC, God sent! I spoke to Art he said no problem will send Jose and quoted me an incredibly reasonable price for a Sunday job! 1/3 of mosr companies I called. Within the hour Jose was at my place. He fixed it with no fuss. Jose listened to my explanation as to what happened to the same sink a few years ago. He actually listened to me! Amazing! Keep it local because they care. Thank you for not taking advantage of this customer. P.S. I called different places, even the big names with fancy advertisements. They wanted to charge me an arm, leg and take my first born. Don't call them call LBPC. read more

Needed an emergency plumber. Manuel and Art came at 1:45am to help fix my backed up kitchen sink. They were polite despite the late call. And they were quick and efficient with the job. They ended up snaking the pipe, fixed the issue, and to top it all off, fixed my garbage disposal without any questions asked. I would definitely recommend using LBPC for anyone looking for an emergency plumber or any plumber for that matter and I will be keeping them bookmarked for any future issues. Thank you, guys! read more

I had them do both my bathroom remodels (tub, shower, tile, etc.) and later found out they did not install the overflow drain (this is against code per another plumber). They told me they installed it (it was on my invoice) and they actually charged me for it as well. To cover up that they didn't install it, they put the metal piece that covers it (on the inside of the tub under the faucet) on with putty. I had another plumber come out and confirm that they didn't do it right and it is against code. Now I have to pay another plumber $800 for the work that they already charged me for and didn't complete. When I contacted them about it they basically told me it wasn't required. Obviously this is not true; they needed to complete it since it's code, and they should have talked to me about it as well instead of hiding it and just keeping it on my invoice and letting me pay for it. The tile work was pretty good, but after having another tile guy do the backsplash in my kitchen, I can see that they are not professionals. I actually just looked up their license (don't include the "C36" if you want to look it up) and they are not licensed for tile. Also, only the owner's name is listed on the license and the person who completed the work for me was not the owner. If you do use them, at least make sure the owner is there. read more

I gotta say, when you are caught in a situation that you can't control.. these guys saved the day. Our sink was leaking from the water lines below. The guy fixed it real quick and also was proactive with another issue we had. Saved me money on having to call them out again.. and I will for sure call them for any other needs we may have in the future. These guys are top notch! No wonder they have 5 stars! read more

I'm so happy to have finally found a reliable, quality, and reasonably priced plumbing service. The staff is AMAZING and the work is great. Fast, friendly, frictionless. The first time I used LB Plumbing was on a Sunday for an emergency situation with my washing machine. Every other plumbing company wanted $100 for an emergency estimate. I sent LB Plumbing some photos and a video and they sent me an estimate range over text. They came out to do the work and stuck to that range. However, they went above and beyond and unclogged my sinks too. Flash forward to this week, we had a foul smell coming from both bathrooms so I knew who to call. LB Plumbing came out and did a quick estimate to diagnose the problem. They found a hole in the sink drain that was flooding under the house. Again, they gave me a fair price and did great work to fix the problem. An unexpected issue like this is a huge pain but they made it really easy. And yet again, they went the extra mile and unclogged all the drains. Overall, I have no complaints and highly recommend Long Beach Plumbing! read more

Excellent service! Called to run a line for a gas outdoor grill. Luis and Mike were on time and friendly. They went the extra mile to connect the grill and test everything before leaving. read more

Life savers! Had a water pipe break on Thanksgiving early afternoon. They came out within 30 minutes and repaired it. Called a dozen plumbers and they were one of three that answered the phone. Oh and it was raining! 5 stars for quick service, nice plumbers and good work. read more
