"Buy a home" they said. "It's better than paying rent" they said. While there are joys in homeownership, there are also nights where everything seems to go to poo. Like in our case where it was backing up in our showers, tubs and toilets. Well nothing says "Sleep well" like a plumbing emergency at 10pm on a Sunday. We did our "We can fix it with a little YouTube" try only to realize we couldn't find our clean out that didn't exist. In a "what about our morning poo?!" frenzy, we called one of those well-known corporate places and they had someone out at 9am the next day. Now we got great customer service, but we also got a ridiculous price tag for what turned out to be a need for a complete new pipe system (thank you 1950s cast iron). The other place was outrageous enough in pricing that we were willing to swallow a few Imodium or just get out the kitty litter to get some other quotes. Enter our longtime landscaper to the rescue! He told us about these guys and they were on it for almost 1/2 the price, fantastic customer service, knowledgeable and friendly employees and hardworking! We couldn't be happier with everything they've done and the way they treated us (two women where one used to be a building inspector ) with respect. They truly went above and beyond and we already recommend them to a neighbor with the job literally just finishing today. Nathan, Tito and Brian, may the rest of the year show you as much respect as you showed us. read more

Tito & Ezequiel were very quick and respectful! I had a lot of things that needed to be fixed and I'm super appreciative of them getting it done. Tito was extra sweet and patient answering my millions of questions. I look forward to using them in the future! read more

I hired Plumbing 101 SoCal to replace my 20+ year old water heater. Tito arrived on time and was extremely friendly. He provided updates and finished within the timeframe he estimated. He cleaned up afterwards and explained what he set up and installed. My dog loved him too. I truly appreciate Nathan the owner as well. They go above and beyond expectations. I will be referring them to family and friends as well as hiring them again for other plumbing needs! They are also affordable! read more

This review is long overdue! Nathan at 101 SoCal Plumbing has come to our rescue more times than I can count over the past couple of years. Whether it's been during the day, late at night, or on the weekend, he is always incredibly responsive and gets to us as quickly as possible. Nathan is honest, knowledgeable, and does excellent work. His pricing has always been fair and reasonable, and we've never felt taken advantage of. One of our homes is older and needs a full repipe, but instead of pressuring us into a big job before we're ready, he has continued to help us with the smaller repairs whenever an issue comes up. That kind of integrity is hard to find. When we're ready to move forward with the repipe, there isn't even a question about who we'll hire--it will absolutely be Nathan and 101 SoCal Plumbing. If you're looking for a plumber who is reliable, trustworthy, skilled, and genuinely cares about his customers, I can't recommend 101 SoCal Plumbing enough. Thank you, Nathan, for always being there when we need you! read more

It's always a good experience calling Nathan when we have a plumbing problem. He responds quickly, charges a fair price, and does excellent work--you can tell he really cares about what he does. Yesterday I discovered a wet spot on first story ceiling; he arrived early today and fixed the leak quickly. He is always our first choice for plumbing issues--highly recommended. read more

Reached out to Plumbing 101 SoCal because our new fridge couldn't be installed until we fixed an old, corroded valve. I was in contact with Nathan, who was very responsive and had great back and forth communication. When he came over he was friendly, easy to talk to and answered all the many questions I had. He provided a couple of options on how to fix the issue and was honest on pros/cons of each. He even offered to come back and help if the delivery people still had an issue with the new valve. Nathan will now be my go-to plumber as he was responsive, had good communication, reasonable pricing, and is honest and reliable. read more

Best pricing in town! The owner Nathan is very honest, direct and looks out for his customers best interest. When I couldn't afford the proper repair method he offered alternative suggestions that didn't make him a penny but he just wanted to help get the job done. I was impressed by the knowledge of his plumbers Ezekiel and Luis who helped replace my hot water line above my water heater that was leaking. They finished in less than 10 minutes and completely stopped the leaked. Then they stayed after to show me how to program my water recirculating pump and patiently answer all my questions. Very nice guys and I believe them to be a very honest company read more

We had a really great experience with Plumbing 101 and Nathan, specifically. I saw their van at a neighbor's house, called the number for help with a kitchen sink faucet and Nathan reached out very soon after leaving my message, offering to help. Nathan was very friendly, professional, prompt and on time for our scheduled appointment and we loved his honesty, suggestions for alternative options and ideas for how to be as efficient as possible. He helped us with our kitchen faucet and then we scheduled him again to install a home water filtration system. Once again, he was very prompt and was easy to get in touch with for questions along the way. Elizabeth, who helped schedule the second appointment, was also very friendly and responsive to our questions about pricing and availability. I would highly recommend Plumbing 101 for any of your plumbing needs. Thank you, Nathan! read more

Best and most trustworthy plumbing company in California!!! If you have heard of this company you probably have heard of Nathan who is well known to be the absolute best in the business for many reasons. I am 100% sure he is, even though I have never had the pleasure of working directly with him. Luckily it seems that Nathan only hires the best because I have used Plumbing 101 multiple times now and anyone I dealt with has been amazing in every way. Today Luis & Ezequiel came to install two toilets I purchased from Costco. They both had the very best customer service and they were very knowledgeable. They took all the trash with them and left the area they worked in spotless. The price was beyond fair as always. This is the 3rd time working with Plumbing 101 SoCal and as always I am beyond impressed and satisfied. I am a life long customer for sure!! read more

If you need a plumber book with Nathan at Plumbing 101 SoCal. He's amazing. Came out and was so honest. I had called Eastlake Plumbing because my water pressure was terrible and they had just replaced our house regulator less than two years ago. They said I needed a whole new regulator again and would not adjust the pressure. Nathan came out and said my regulator was pretty new and would attempt to adjust pressure. Water pressure is great now! Nathan came back the following week and he replaced a valve on our water heater. I love that there are still honest plumbers out here. He is very informative on everything he does, is very pleasant and has great customer service. Their prices are very reasonable. We will definitely call them again! read more

Tito came out again and had our garbage disposal fixed within minutes! He is quick, efficient, easy to communicate with, and we would definitely recommend him! read more

Tito did a great job setting up my Reverse Osmosis system!! He ran into a problem with the way my under sink space was set up but found a solution. Thanks, Tito!!! read more

I can't recommend Nathan and his amazing team at Plumbing 101 So Cal enough! They responded quickly when I discovered a leak from my water heater. Nathan came out right away, assessed the issue, and confirmed it needed to be replaced--which I had suspected. He helped me select the best replacement, picked up the materials, and had everything installed within two days (and only because I had a prior engagement--it would have been even faster otherwise!). They showed up on time, were professional, friendly, and made the whole process incredibly smooth. I was especially impressed that they hauled away the old water heater for me--huge bonus! When they removed it, I saw that the entire seam had separated, and I'm honestly so lucky they were able to act quickly before things turned into a much bigger mess. Great service, excellent communication, and quality work. I would absolutely use Plumbing 101 So Cal again and highly recommend them for any plumbing needs! read more

Nathan and his team helped us twice over the course of a month! He was responsive, punctual, and was able to help with both small and big jobs with fair pricing. Our sewer clogged on a (very) late Sunday night. Worse yet, the following day was a holiday. Bathroom, shower, or any water use would start flooding our garage. We called every "24/7" line, but Nathan was the only one to pick up my call, and got us sorted out first thing next morning. Just a few weeks later, our main water line burst, flooding our neighborhood street. I quickly called Nathan, who, over the phone, was kind enough to walk me through turning off the water from the street. His men came by later that same day to patch the line. At my request, they followed through with an entire main line replacement and even put the landscaping back when they were done. Hopefully we won't have any more issues, but we know we will be taken care of if we do. read more

Highly recommend Nathan and his company. Have used their services over the years when plumbing issues arise. This week I needed a garbage disposal replaced. To save money he suggested one for me to buy and for him to install. His prices are less than other local plumbers and he is very knowledgeable and honest. Licensed and my go to plumber for sure. read more

Tito and Brian put in our new kitchen faucet, fixed our leaking hose bib and answered all my questions. Both are very helpful. Tito enlightened me on some areas I should be aware of and am glad to know. Happy with the work and their friendly attitude. read more

Nathan and his Plumbing 101 team, including Ezequiel, came out last minute to repair a clogged kitchen drain. From the start, Nathan was punctual, communicative, and professional, and he provided excellent service at a reasonable rate. Despite being busy, he made the time to squeeze us in and made sure we were taken care of from beginning to end. Ezequiel was the plumber who handled the job, and my family and I were truly impressed by how knowledgeable and skilled he is at such a young age. He did a fantastic job and showed real determination to get the work done, even though it was a last-minute request. I can tell that Nathan truly takes care of his customers, and that shows through his team and the quality of work they provide. I would highly recommend Nathan and Plumbing 101 to anyone in need of reliable and professional plumbing services. read more

Nathan and his team know what they are doing. Nathan communicates quickly very well via texts and phone and during his work he makes sure you understand what he is doing. I hired him for a shower installation and to fix some of the piping in my walls that are switched from hot and cold. He made sure to leave the bathroom clean and finish the work in good quality. I absolutely would hire him again for a future project. My only suggestion is to have him write the quotes down or text the amount for you because I had another project for him but I didn't understand that the quote was a total amount for everything versus I thought it was an extra amount on top of everything and if I only knew it was the total I would have hired him for that project too! read more

I have used Plumbing 101 several times over the years and have recommended them to everyone I know. They are always professional and offer fair pricing. The owner Nathan previous worked on house, but this last time he sent Tito over to repair a leak. Tito was great! He explained the issue, resolved it and offered a fair price. The accept digital payments which was really convenient. I will continue to use them for all of my future plumbing needs. read more

Luis & Giovanni- These are some seriously honest guys. Scheduled garbage disposal replacement, they thought it was just "stuck" as this model tends to do. They showed me how to get it unstuck and that was it. No charge, not even for the guidance. They could've pushed for install or the 5 mins, but they didn't. So, want to work with some honest guys? give them a shot. read more

I've been using Nathan for years and recommend him to everyone. One time, we thought we had a leak. But when he came and assessed, something had just loosened up and turned the wrong way. He tightened it up and told us what we can buy and do to make sure it doesn't loosen up again. He didn't charge us a dime for that visit. Last year, we had an issue but it was more than plumbing. He connected us to a water mitigation company but mentioned that if they do anything that I'm not pleased with, to let him know. He stated "My clients are my priority." Not only did that water mitigation company take care of the issue, but they also dealt with my insurance company getting everything covered. But recently, we used Nathan's services to get our entire house repiped. He and his team spent a whole day replacing all the pipes, valves, and pressure regulator. Then the next day, his drywall team spent the whole day patching up and texturizing the holes. He and his drywall team did an amazing job! I'm so amazed and appreciative that everything was done in two days so I can get back to my regular schedule. To sum up: Nathan is honest, professional, prompt, and efficient. He takes great pride not only in his work, but in the people he aligns himself with. read more

Nathan and his crew are amazing! I had a leak under my sink for a few years that nobody could figure out. Nathan came by and figured it out within a few minutes. His crew is amazing, very polite and professional. Amazing work for the prices he charges. read more

5 stars right off the bat for plumbing 101! They are so efficient and friendly. They booked us super quick! Working in property mgmt- it's always difficult to find reliable and efficient service and hands down, I'd use them every single time! Plus, they were the best value in the area!! I had called quite a few places and this was the best price! Thank you again! read more

I started to look for a reliable plumber, and between many social media groups, as well as friends in the neighborhood, Nathan from Plumbing 101 constantly was being recommended. I reached out for a quote regarding the repair/replacement of a wax ring for a toilet; Nathan responded promptly and added me to the schedule. The day Nathan arrived, he introduced himself and his crew. He explained and confirmed the issue, gave recommendations, and reassured I could always reach out at anytime and even have him walk me through steps via Video Chat if needed in the future. It appears that Nathan is very interested in building relationships with his customers and making sure one is satisfied with the work and services he provides. I will definitely continue to use his services when needed! read more

Today, my kids and I woke up to a leaking faucet. Determined to fix it myself, I made several trips to Home Depot but found myself struggling to remove the hardware. I reached out to Plumbing 101 and spoke with Nathan, who immediately put my concerns at ease. Nathan went above and beyond--he kindly FaceTimed me and patiently walked me through the repair step by step. What truly stood out was his dedication and genuine care. Nathan consistently followed up with me throughout the day to check on my progress and offer further guidance. I was amazed at his encouragement, his belief in me to successfully complete the repair, and most of all, his integrity. Instead of trying to push a service for profit, he focused on empowering and assisting me. If you're looking for a plumbing company that values its clients, eases the stress of repairs, and offers cost-effective solutions, I highly recommend Plumbing 101. Their professionalism, support, and compassion are unmatched. Thank you so much, Plumbing 101, and a special thank you to Nathan! We now have running water, and I couldn't be more grateful! read more

Plumbing 101 is definitely going to be our plumbing company moving forward. Nathan was quick and efficient AND TRUTHFUL with what needed to be done. Another company came beforehand and all they did was try to upsell me a water filtration system. That company who shall remain nameless charged me $950 for something that Plumbing 101 would've done for $150. I HIGHLY recommend Plumbing 101 to anyone looking for a job to be done correctly and charged fairly! read more

Excellent service-highly recommended! Our downstairs toilet was leaking water and I reached out to Plumbing 101 and received a response the same day. Tito arrived right on time and was able to determine what the problem was right away. He explained everything that caused the issue, what it would take to fix it, what it would cost, and was able to fix the issue in less than an hour! He was friendly, professional, and I was very pleased with the service provided. I would definitely use this company again in the future. read more

My garbage disposal died during the after-Thanksgiving dinner cleanup last week, resulting in water leaking to the under-sink area. My phone call was answered promptly and an appointment was made efficiently. The service technician, Tito, called in advance and was able to arrive early. He quickly assessed the problem and explained it clearly. The quoted price for labor and replacement was reasonable. I was impressed with Tito's professional and personable work. read more

Nathan is outstanding! He was prompt, professional, helpful, and just an all-around cool guy. He went above and beyond to help me resolve a leaking angle stop that I attempted to replace myself but was leaking no matter what I tried. Nathan explained that the copper pipe was too compressed and needed to be cut and walked me through it. No more leak! Highly recommend to anyone and will be calling Nathan again in the future for any plumbing issues. Thanks again Nathan! read more

Friday night my garbage disposal started to leak pretty badly. We got some online quotes and they were around $200-$300 just for labor. Asked family if they knew a plumber and my brother in law recommended Nathan at Plumbing 101. We text him on Saturday morning and gave us a quote that was much more in our budget than the other quotes we received. He was able to get us in the next day, Sunday, between 1-4. We asked about replacement garbage disposals and gave us a recommendation. We picked one up and had it ready for when he arrived. He got here around 2:30, asked again what was going on, took a look and let me know that he was going to replace it. He was all done within 20 minutes. He was fast and efficient, very friendly and honest! It's always a worry when needing work done on your house since pricing can be very subjective. I will definitely have Nathan and Plumbing 101 come back in case any other plumbing issues come up. read more

Words cannot express how appreciative I am to Nathan. He is very professional, courteous, knows what he's doing, and most of all he is HONEST. I thought that the water meter at my place was not working properly due to a loud whistling sound so I called him and he suggested I contact the water company since the homeowner's association would be responsible for the repair. The water meter was replaced by the water company at no cost but the problem was still there. The repairman said I needed to contact a plumber since his company is only responsible for water meters and not water pressure regulators, which was causing the sound. I called Nathan's plumbing business and set up an appointment. Nathan was there a bit earlier than the time I was expecting, so he is also on time, another plus! He worked on the problem and to my surprise he completed his work in less than 10 minutes. He said it was just an adjustment and if the problem persisted that I would need to replace the regulator. I asked him what the cost for his service was and he didn't charge me!!! I was in total shock because of his honesty and for not charging me. Nowadays you can't really find someone as honest as he is. Years ago a plumber replaced the water meter when he was called for a different problem saying that I needed to replace the water meter. That was quite an expensive job that I didn't have to incur because that's not what I had called this plumber for but I believed him! If you need a plumber, Nathan with Plumbing 101 is the guy to call! If I could give him 10 stars I would! Excellent job and honesty above all!! Thank you so much, Nathan!! read more

This is the third or fourth time we've worked with Plumbing 101. I called this morning to book and appointment and they came this afternoon! Luis and Ezekiel quickly grasped why water overflowed our kitchen counter whenever we used the dishwasher, clearly described the work to be done and the (reasonable) cost to do it, and within minutes the problem was fixed (they hung around long enough to do a partial test run with the dishwasher to be sure.) It feels great to know Plumbing 101 is readily available when we need them. read more
