    Juan and his team relocated and replaced our water heater (converted from tank to tankless) which was inside the kitchen to the back of the garage outside. Juan was referred to me by a HVAC contractor and throughout the process, communicated clearly along with recommending the exact tankless water heater. We had a snag as part of the city inspection that had to do with complications of the location but Juan and team came back and helped me fix the problem. Its been a month or so we had the water heater and its been working really well. We will be reaching out to him and his company for future plumbing needs and recommend him to our friends.

    Immaculate, extraordinary & best in class service. Juan and his crew are the only plumbers you will ever need. Our team manages a myriad amount of commercial and residential properties, and Juan is always the man I call. From the first time we met, he has been a man of integrity. He will never upsell any unnecessary plumbing parts and he will inform you on the different options you have for your drains, water lines, gas lines, sewage cleanouts and much more. We have worked with numerous plumbing companies and their only goal was to maximize their profits, but not Sal Cal Plumbing. Juan's prices are very honest and fair for the amount of work required and I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. If I may offer any piece of useful advice, it would be to contact this plumbing company because you will be blessed to have met them! My sincerest gratitude to Juan and his crew at Sal Cal Plumbing.

    My irrigation valve off of my main water line right near my meter had been leaking very slowly for quite some time. Just this weekend, my sprinkler valve was leaking so I turned off the irrigation valve so that I could replace the sprinkler head. Upon completing that job myself, I went to turn on my irrigation main and it was leaking much more than it was before. I decided that it was time for me to replace it so I headed down to Home Depot for some supplies. It took me some effort to figure out the routing and sizing of each PVC cut but ultimately, the fitting off towards my main line came off and I didn't want to mess with it anymore. Having my water to my house completely off with a house full of family was a bit stressful. I started calling around for emergency plumbers and luckily came across Sal Cal Plumbing and Drain. They were local to my area and I decided to give them a call. Juan immediately answered my call and asked me a few questions about the issue I was having. He then said that he'd be here within 30 mins. He arrived on time and went straight to work before ever quoting me anything. I already had the valve exposed, for the most part, but he dug a bit more before providing me with an accurate quote. This, to me, was above and beyond the "call of duty" because he started working on it, analyzing, and recommending resolutions before I even committed to paying him a single penny! After he was able to fully analyze it, he provided me with a very fair price to fix my issue. Considering that it was a Sunday and a holiday weekend (Memorial Day), and that he showed up with 30 minutes of my initial call, was absolutely amazing. I've found my new local trustworthy plumber to call should I ever need plumbing work in the future. I highly recommend Juan at Sal Cal Plumbing and Drain. He's licensed and bonded, trustworthy, and professional. Highly recommended!

    Less than 6 hours, I have new waterline without having to cut the driveway concrete per suggestions from other contractors.

    Juan is very professional, honest, hard working, and thorough. When I contacted him for emergency water leaking due to main waterline broken, he responded within 5 minutes. He showed up less than 20 mins and took an action immediately. He came back the next day to replace the main water line as well as fixing other valves. He cleaned up everything after he finished the job. It's a nightmare to find a good trustworthy contractor in this era, but here is Juan you can trust. I'm glad that I found Juan, a Pumbing contractor and I feel at ease to give the job to him.

    Juan and his guys were very prompt and informative. They were great with communication on when they would show up. They did a great job diagnosing my frustrating mystery leak. They did an even better job fixing the pipe and replacing the backpressure valve.

    Juan, the owner, is not only fair and honest- he's a really smart guy with a lot of integrity. He came back twice (after I paid him) and was really nice about it (even though it was my fault.) He really came through- he gave me a good price and delivered more than any other contractor. He knows what he's doing and he's not going to rip anyone off- refreshing. They work really hard and do excellent quality work.

    Tankless water heater installation in our attic
    David S.

    After recently hiring Sal Cal Plumbing for both a small project (installing a kitchen faucet), and a medium sized project (installing a tankless water heater in our attic), I can say with confidence that Sal Cal will definitely be my go-to plumber from now on, and one that I recommend to my neighbors. Juan, the owner and primary plumber, was always responsive, on-time, and thorough (i.e, Juan always came back to finish up any loose ends, and went out of his way to ensure to that we were satisfied with how things turned out -- even if it meant some added inconvenience for him). Juan also provided very fair quotes, and never tried to upsell or tack on unexpected charges. Overall, a very pleasant and professional experience.

    Installed a circulating hot water pump. A must for getting immediate hot water to the farthest sink/shower in the house.

    This is the second time I used Sal Cal Plumbing or Juan and once again he did an excellent job replacing my 75 gallon water heater. His price was better than the other 3 quotes I got.... by far. Does clean and excellent work.....highly recommend!

And said now if he needs to go into diagnosis, it will cost $175 , and either he can fix it OR that $175 will be used to swap a new unit at $4xx. Since I'm remote, I can only agree to it to move forward. 10mins later, got a call from the tech saying, "there are good and bad news! Good news, the unit was indeed completely fine and it's working alright. The unit was slightly "UNPLUGGED" from the outlet and it works perfectly after I plugged it back in. Bad news, the $175 is due. " I appreciate that the "diagnosis" save me hundreds instead of replacing a fully working unit, but I would have thought the first free initial check should have looked at the connection in the first place. Definitely feel a bit rip off BUT they did give me a small discount in the end. I'm not expecting free work BUT $150 to get someone out to plug it back in? Is that the norm?

He walked through the issue with my brother and father, performed a thorough assessment, and clearly explained exactly what was causing the problem. After a brief conversation with my brother, it was obvious that Alexis and All City Plumbing were the company we wanted to trust with the repair. Alexis was extremely knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything he was doing. He even showed us, using a camera scope, that our pipes were clear and free of tree roots. That gave us tremendous peace of mind and ended up saving us a lot of money by avoiding unnecessary work. The quality of service, honesty, and professionalism were outstanding. On top of that, the work is backed by a one-year warranty, which gives us even more confidence in the repair. We will absolutely be calling All City Plumbing again for any future plumbing needs. Highly recommend!

Chris and Joe were my techs and gave me excellent service, great feedback and advice to make my lines better for the future and were just good guys. We had to sump dump the fluids first, then the line opening showed up and we snaked from the line to the street and the line to house. They did it twice in both directions to give me that peace of mind. I don't know plumbing and they did show me a picture of what how my connection was configured. I wish I would of asked for that picture. Please send if you see this. I want to make that correction in the future and extend my cleanout about 6 inches in height. Please give me a quote for that service?

The plumber who came out was friendly enough, but the quote came in at $1,400 for a straightforward PEX repair. I had already done the discovery, cut the access hole, and identified the leak. This was not a complex job and did not justify that price. I ended up calling another plumbing company who is doing the same repair for $300-$400, over $1000 less. Price padding a simple repair, especially when it feels like it's based on the assumption an insurance claim will be filed, isn't a good look. Honest pricing and integrity matter, and in this case, they missed the mark.

Miguel and his crew came by this morning as we had a bad smell coming from our 2020 remodeled bathroom and kitchen area. Wasting no time at all, his guy went into the crawl space and identified the leak. Fixed it within an hour and gave me DIY information on how to get rid of the smell and flush out the bacteria from the sitting drain water under the house. I really appreciate him trying to help me save money by recommending items I can buy on my own from Home Depot to remedy the situation. Any other plumber would offer additional expensive cleanup services to charge me more money, but not Miguel. Miguel is truly a stand up guy and an honest plumber! He's knowledgeable, hardworking, efficient, and does not employ greedy tactics like so many repair people I have unfortunately let into our home. I know I have written several positive reviews on him already but I am also a sincere Yelper (lol, I do write bad reviews when warranted. i really tell it like it is!! ). Trust me, he's the plumber you should call if you need one. You are taking a chance if you call anyone else.

Our property manager gave us some recommendation on handyman, and we reached out to a few others. Everyone of the handyman looked at the issues and said they couldn't do it. Javier from R&R was professional and friendly. He came, looked at the problems and gave us multiple options. We were told that our bathroom fixtures were on the older end, and replacement parts would be pretty slim. Javier said he would try his best to find ways to fix our problems, and if it can't be fix, then he would have to go with the full remove and replace option. Needless to say, the cheaper option would be less than half the price of the worst case scenario. We were presented with the cheaper options to be less than $1000, while the worst case scenario would be in the mid $2000 with our drywall cut open in order to do the fixture replacement. We would also had to then deal with redoing the drywall since that is not part of the company's scope of work. Javier came back after we accepted the estimate and was able to fix everything faster than I thought. To my surprised, he was able to find the replacement parts and fix everything. My experience with Javier and R&R has been exceptional. I highly recommend R&R to anyone with plumbing issue like i had.
