Kevin O'Rourke was our service technician, and we could not have been happier with his work. All American responded quickly to our call, and Kevin quickly located and capped the leak to prevent further damage. He thoroughly explained our options, from repairing the immediate leak to taking preventive measures to avoid future in-slab leaks. After discussing the pros and cons, we decided to move forward with a downstairs re-pipe to replace any pipes that were in the slab, along with replacing our pressure regulator and several older valves. This was a major project involving rerouting plumbing through the ceilings and walls, but Kevin guided us through every step of the process. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, and always made sure we understood the work being done. It is rare to immediately trust a service technician you have just met, but we had complete confidence in Kevin and his recommendations throughout the project. After the plumbing work was completed, they also provided excellent referrals for stucco (thank you Carlos) and drywall repair (thank you Hugo at California Quality Drywall) to help restore our home as quickly as possible. I highly recommend All American Plumbing-Poway, especially Kevin O'Rourke, and we will definitely use them again for any future plumbing needs.

First and foremost - HIGHLY recommended…read more This is the 2nd time we used this company. Received exceptional customer service. Sami was extremly personable, knowledgable and courteous. He definately had our best interest. We gained so much information on keeping up with our plumbing maintenance as we showed him around the house and yard. We had waited for years to fix/replace faucets in the kitchen and bathrooms. Looks and works great. While working, he identified our dishawasher was not connected properly after all these years. It was clear once he pointed it out, once fixed, it allowed us to move our drinking water dispenser to a more convenient location AND install a soap dispenser. Cost was always discussed up front and was reasonable. Sami sets the bar for customer service and work. Thanks so much Courtesy Plumbing for providing top notch employees and work.

Ability is legit, professional, on-time, and did a great job replacing a whole house water filter. The work was done in an out of the way space under the house, but the plumber took pride in his work and ran the copper pipes in a way that looks nicer than what was installed previously. I'd use them again when the need arises.

Title: Predatory, Overpriced, and Utterly Unreliable - Avoid at All Costs…read more LET ME EDIT MY OLD REVIEW. IT wasn't until just now, that I found out what they did, was a SCAM. I am beyond disgusted with Ability Plumbing and their shady, predatory business practices. They prey on people in urgent situations, overcharge wildly, and then vanish when you actually need them. On 10/20/2023, I had no choice but to use Ability Plumbing because my HOA in Summer Hill, San Diego, only allows them. A technician came out to give me a quote for replacing sinks. The price was steep, but since they were the HOA's contractor, I felt trapped. During this visit, the technician pushed me into replacing my "failed" hot water shut-off valve -- something I didn't even call about -- warning me about "emergency situations" and how critical it would be. His high-pressure pitch worked, and I paid $920 for it (later finding out other reputable plumbers would do it for half the price). But again, my hands were tied due to the HOA. Fast forward to 8/12/2025 -- I had an actual emergency where I needed this expensive shut-off valve. Guess what? It didn't work at all. I called immediately, got voicemail, and later spoke to a woman named Laura who assured me they'd send a tech on 8/13/2025 at 9am. I took off work, sat here waiting, only for Laura to call at 10:30am saying the appointment was canceled because their three technicians were "tied up on another project." This was after knowing my situation and the fact their overpriced "emergency" valve failed me. This is not just bad service -- it's outright scheming. They sold me a part I didn't ask for, at a gouged price, and when the moment came for it to actually protect my home, it failed. And their response? Cancellations and excuses. On their website, they boast about "25 years of experience" and "treating customers like family." Please. Maybe it's 25 years of scamming families. Their actions show zero care, zero respect, and zero accountability. I want someone above Laura to contact me immediately, but frankly, my real advice to anyone reading this: DO NOT use Ability Plumbing unless you enjoy being overcharged, misled, and abandoned in your time of need.

My initial phone call was meet with a very friendly and helpful receptionist. I'm sorry I don't recall her name. My issue was a small gas leak to my stove that was only accessible through the cabinets next to it. I was put in contact with their technician Chris who was able to come out that same day. He was outstanding. Personable, friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He explained what the problem was and why the gas valve was leaking. He replaced the valve in no time at all. My bill turned out to be much lower than I expected. I highly recommend CML Plumbing. You won't be disappointed.

I reached out…read moreto this company for help locating a hidden leak, explaining everything in detail and even providing a video to help them understand the issue. When the technician arrived, he took a quick look, flashed a light around, and glanced under the crawl space--but never actually went in to investigate. After a few minutes, he told me he couldn't find anything and suggested a costly camera inspection. At that point, I asked him a question about our dishwasher, and he ran a wire through it, pushing out a bit of food buildup. It was a small fix, and I was grateful for the help. Then came the shock--he told me I owed him $200. I was stunned. For what amounted to a flashlight glance and a quick poke at the dishwasher, it felt incredibly excessive. I was home alone and felt pressured to pay, but I walked away from that interaction feeling completely taken advantage of. Thankfully, we contacted a second plumber who actually took the time to go into the crawl space, snake the main line, and diagnose the real issue--without charging a dime for the inspection. He gave us a fair quote, fixed the problem properly, and even installed a two-way sewer cleanout. That's the kind of service that earns long-term trust. I don't normally write reviews like this, but I want others to know: do your homework. There are honest, hardworking professionals out there. Sadly, this company wasn't one of them.
