Jeff, along with ABP's technician Jennifer, made the repair and retest seamless and fast, saving our small complex money in the process. Working in the service industry myself, I recognize top-notch service when I see it--and that's exactly what ABP delivered.

He was prompt, on schedule, easy to work with, fully transparent with the costs and did excellent high quality work. I am going to use him for all of my backflow inspection (and should they arise) repair needs. THANK YOU!!!!

This is my experience with Felix…read more Judge for yourself if he deserved a rating of 5 or not. Or if deserves a 6 (?) FIRST OF ALL: When I found his existing Yelp page and saw there was ONLY 5-star reviews, I was suspicious. One time I rented an AirBnb and after the rental was over the scam was "I'll give you a discount for a 5-star review". Was this the case with Felix Backflow? ANSWER: not at all. SECOND: My purpose in getting my irrigation backflow device tested is that I had ASSUMED that the device doubled as a pressure reducer. By email, when making my appointment, Felix advised that no, backflow only does backflow prevention. Just now he told me in person "there might be a 10% reduction in pressure as it goes through the passages, but it's not designed to reduce pressure". THIRD: He arrived on time, and on a Saturday afternoon (his preference, I think because he had a nearby appointment earlier anyway). He had previously advised me by email that a backflow test was $65.00 and a rubber kit installation was $230, if repair is needed. FOURTH: He tested my backflow. He said it functioning normally. He answered my questions about irrigation pressure and gave me some reasonable advice. FIFTH: I asked him as he picked up his toolbox and work order clipboard, "how can I pay you? Do you take check?" HIS ANSWER: "Oh, no charge. I was in the area anyway. If you want to, just put your experience online... what is that site? I can never remember..." (It was YELP!) He shook my hand and I said I felt like hugging him! (No hug actually took place). So there you go... THIS WAS UNBELIEVABLE! He made a housecall, tested my backflow, and DID NOT CHARGE me! Of course he'll probably charge you... and I am not sure why he didn't charge me... but he didn't. So now I have my opinion of Felix BackfloW Prevention. With NO negative reviews, and all 5-stars, it's well-deserved. Honest, knowledgeble, kind.

I explained to him the problem of knocking in my pipes and he said it could be a number of things, said he could come out later in the week. Then he began telling me what the problem could be and asked that I check something under the sink. I did, he told me what to do and bam, the months-old problem was gone. He saved me the grief of hearing this massive knocking every time we turned on the hot water, and saved me hundreds of dollars. To be clear, he didn't need to do that. He could've have hung up the phone, come out on Thursday, turned the valve several times, and handed me an invoice for a couple hundred dollars. But he didn't, he did the kind, neighborly, and professional thing of taking care of the problem on the spot even thought it meant no revenue for him. Good business is a long-game.

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.
