I had a great experience with Sandford and Son plumbing. My master bathroom shut-off valve blew apart, forcing me to shut off water to the whole house. Other plumbers wanted me to wait a day, but Sanford and Son came out the day I called them and fixed everything. They replaced all the valves in the house and even found a leak in the kitchen that I didn't know about. Very reasonable prices and workmanship was outstanding. They were thorough and honest. I highly recommend them. read more

Our water heater went out the day before Easter Sanford was great. They were able to fit us in a timely manner. They recommended a great product for replacement. We now have an awesome tankless water heater with a return system so we have almost instant hot water in the whole house and his price was very reasonable. They cleaned up after themselves. I had a wonderful experience. read more

Sanford and Son Plumbing - Tankless water heater installed - Plumbing Near Me

I'm was working on a leaky shower handle the other day and ran into some trouble with the cartridge. I called to have someone come out and fix the issue since I was at the limit of my knowledge and/or ability. Rather than jump on the opportunity to make a quick buck...he walked me through how to resolve it on my own and gave me the information I was missing. It felt like I was calling my buddy to help me out haha. I have used them before to fix a leak on an old capped line and the service was the same...Honest, fair prices, helpful, and professional. Sanford and Son Plumbing is the real deal. read more

Sanford removed an indoor water heater and installed an outdoor tankless water heater. The installation was a half day, quick and masterfully done. A month later and we are loving it! Thank you Sanford and team. You are a great family and plumbing team. read more

Outstanding service and customer support. I was given a price for replacement of a toilet and two hose bibs over the phone and the price was a firm one and well worth every penny. Thank you Anthony for doing an outstanding job at my house. read more

They didn't fix my problem and then I found out they are working without a license, even though their website says they are licensed.

I reported a problem today, and the pipes were repaired thoroughly and and very promptly! Within2 hours! Very pleased with service and price! read more

I recently purchased a home and soon after discovered a leak in the bathroom sink. I contacted Sandford and Son and thankfully they responded incredibly quickly. Their team was not only very professional, but also very knowledgeable. They determined the plumbing was not up to code and conducted a through assesment of all the sinks. Yes..two sinks need to be replumbed. Their work was impecible , showcasing their exceptional craftmanship and attention to detail. I truly appreciated their dedication to taking their time to do the job right. Additionally they recommended a HVAC expert to handle the venting problem, demonstrating their dedication to providing comprehensive solutions. I am extremely satisfied with their work quality and highly recommend them to anyone in need of quality plumbing work. I can wholeheartdly say that Sanford & Sons are exceptional at their trade. read more

Their team is responsive and has reasonable pricing. We will work with them. Thank you. - Hoon

NOT Recommended! ....I purchased a new Navien NPE 240A2 tankless hot water heater, which was recommended and installed by this plumber. The unit was installed in the garage on a common wall with our bedroom on the opposite side, whereby excessive noise is now heard through the wall, particularly during the gas purge cycles. Upon ongoing requests for help that yielded nothing, I had the installation reviewed by several reputable plumbers who flagged numerous installation issues, including some that violate local building codes and others that were just plain shortcuts like not using a mounting board to reduce noise, not installing an expansion tank, not running a separate noncorrosive condensation line, not installing a gas sediment trap and improper exhaust gas venting. If you have purchased a similar tankless hot water heater from this plumber, you can download the installation manual from the Navien website to verify proper installation. I now need to pay a skilled professional to fix all of this. read more

Sanford and Son are the only plumbers you'll ever need. Honest, transparent folks. Sanford, Nicole, Anthony will explain everything to you and are thorough and friendly. They've unclogged toilets, fixed a leaky shower head, and even replaced a hot-water heater for me. Every job they've ever done was done quick and done well, with everything laid out in simple terms. A+ family business read more

Sanford and Son answered my call and text right away and came same day and earlier than expected even! They had to leave to get the right parts (had old pipes) and come back - they really worked hard. The boys always do excellent work here and are very quick and knowledgeable! We are amazed.

They went above and beyond and they are so kind and responsive and really took the time to explain all the process to us so that we really understood what was going on with our plumbing and had a full scope understanding of the repair. Amazing amazing!!! Hire them!!! read more

THE OWNER SANFORD IS NOT AN HONEST PERSON! I can't recommend Sanford & Son Plumbing. When I first met Sanford he seemed to be a really nice and knowledgable person that understands his business. Turns out he is completely unreasonable and also dishonest. A small business owner like him should treat customers better than he does. I am completely disappointed :-( read more

Sanford & son Plumbing is an amazing family company. They came out the same day of me calling to say that my 1930s plumbing was leaking all under my house with black water. It was disgusting to say the least. They let me know what work needed to be done, and decided to tackle it that day since rain was forecasted for the next day. They rearranged their schedule to help me and worked till after 8pm to get the job done! They definitely have a job that not many would sign up for, and do it well, take pride in their work, and are extremely nice to work with. I highly recommend this family business!! read more

We had an emergency service request on a Sunday and had been turned away by all the other plumbing companies that stated 24/7 assistance in our area. I called Sanford & Son and had a pleasant conversation with the lady that answered the call. They asked if they could call me back in a few minutes. I had little hope that they would come out or call back. Our water had been shut off at the house due to the problem so we did not want to wait until the next day for assistance. Much to my surprise, I got a callback and they agreed to come out that day. They were clear that there would be an extra charge for the Sunday visit and added cost, but we were desperate and willing to incur the cost! We found out later that they had been on their way to a family outing, but turned around and came back to fix our problem! They were so pleasant (even though they are Eagles' fans--no one is perfect) and had the problem fixed in no time! They headed to the beach and we got to turn our water back on! We will definitely be using them for our plumbing needs in the future! Thank you, Nicole and Sanford! read more

Ended up calling Sanford when our regular plumber was out on vacation. Not a good experience. When my regular plumber got back in town, I called him to ask what I should have been charged for the job that Sanford did. He said I was overcharged by about $2000 for a $4000 job. Yep, Sanford charged me about $6,000 for a 3 day job, and had his son (not a licensed plumber) do some of the work, which ended up leaking (!!) and had to be redone. Then, when they came to pick up the final payment, I turned on the irrigation system and his crew had cracked the PVC and there was a huge leak. They did not want to believe there was a leak, but then when they saw the water gushing from the ground, I made them repair it before I handed them the final check. So,...DON'T let the Bible verses displayed on the company shirts and logos fool you into thinking you will NOT be ripped off by this company. I will not be using them again. read more

Sanford and Sons are my go to company for any of my plumbing needs. During my last visit, he was able to isolate the problem that I've had for over 5 years and found a low cost but effective solution to my constant septic backup. I'm very grateful and Sanford and sons has my business for life. And his sons are hardworking and helpful too! read more

My experience with this company was well over a year ago. It was not a great experience but I don't really like posting negative reviews for small businesses on yelp, its tough enough to run a small shop without negative publicity. However I was reminded about my experience the other day and I remembered how close I was to getting hosed for several thousand dollars so I decided to share. Over time my toilets had gotten to a point where they would not flush. Prior to this I had a rooter guy come out a couple times, and tried some root treatment product, etc., it helped but was a temporary fix. Had Sanford come out and he used his camera to inspect my sewer line, which costs about $300. Bingo he found that a root had punctured my plastic sewer pipe and showed me a grainy blob on the camera screen that was supposed to be the intrusion. Then used a locator tool to determine the exact location of the break which was underneath the toilet, below the slab. It was at that point in time he says "hope you are ready to remodel your bathroom". Basically the toilet, shower, tile, maybe sink, etc. would need to be removed to jackhammer up the floor to fix it. Ballpark 7-8k or there abouts. I almost went for it. Im no plumber but the next day I decided to lift the toilet and at least see what I could see. What I saw was a tiny 1/4" root that had worked its way between the tiny gap in the slab and the sewer pipe. In grew over the top of the toilet flange and then down the pipe. I cut the 1/4" diameter root at the top and started to pull it up. I was not prepared for what happened next. I proceeded to pull out a 12 foot long, 3" diameter tree of porcupine looking roots decorated with toilet paper, dental floss, and other things that go down a toilet, it really looked like something from an alien movie. Got it pulled out, cut the root back as far as I could at the flange and doused it with round up, caulked over it put the toilet back in. It cost me $5 for a wax ring and about two hours of my time. Its 100% fixed and have had no future issues. So, not sure what the video of the "break" was about, or the locator dog and pony show, because nothing was broken. Needless to say I did not call them back. read more

Awesome service! Explained everything clearly from the start and was able to quickly fix our backed up kitchen sink. Highly recommend!

Where to begin! We just bought a house and the next day had some backup and flooding in our first floor. I called Sanford and Son Plumbing due to a blockage in our sewer going from the house to the street. Sanford himself showed up and examined the line with his camera. Within 30 minutes he quickly identified the source... a tree root in the line. Ugh! We had actually no flow to the street and we were in an extremely bad spot without the ability to flush toilets or even use showers. Sanford willingly moved appointments around in their schedule to accommodate. It was an all day job digging up in very tough ground with tree roots galore. By the end of the day they had identified a collapsed line with severe tree root issue invading the line. Sanford was honest, helpful and hard working throughout the process... ensuring our family that they would have us going by the end of the day. He gave multiple options to resolve the issues, which I also appreciated. Sanford even followed up the next day to ensure we had a good night and things were working well. This level of service is sometimes hard to find these days. I can't say enough good about the work they did. Very much noticed and appreciated. Hire these guys right away if you have issues; you won't be disappointed. read more

They have always been available 24-7 and are a delight to work with. We have used them for water heater replacement, water leaks, and sewage line repair. Highly recommend! read more

4th of July morning the toilets were backed up and with a house full of guests I was freaking out. Called every plumber in Ramona, no one answered. Ended up calling a place out in Escondido, but they couldn't come out until that afternoon....I received a call back from Sanford and Son Plumbing and within the hour Sanford showed up. He was friendly and profesional which helped ease the stress of morning. He cleared the lines and took the time to discover the cause for the back up...I liked the fact that while he was troubleshooting he talked us through what he was doing. Thank you Sanford for saving the day. read more

Quick, accurate and so professional. We would highly recommend them for any of your plumbing issues in Ramona. Fabulous and friendly service too even on the day after Thanksgiving! read more

Do Not Use This Company Unless You Have Money to Burn... my warranty company sent out a second Licensed plumber yesterday to review the situation in which Sanford & Sons has left. The second plumber confirmed that the drip pan is an improper size (doesn't allow room to attach the cover that came with the unit) and went on to say that it wasn't a code requirement to have a drip pan in a garage water heater install. At no point did James (the plumber from Sanford & Sons) indicate to me or my warranty company that the drip pan was too small. In fact James said it was a city code requirement to install a drip pan leg (which consisted of what looks like used PVC pipe) for a fee of $89.00. This company charged me for something that was unnecessary - wasn't the correct size for the new water and refuses to remedy the situation. Cheryl the office supervisor has called me a liar and hung up on me when I called to resolve the situation. I do not recommend using this company. read more

Sanford and Son Plumbing - Plumbing Near Me

I would rate less than zero if I could. Scheduled them to come, they said it would be for "Estimate only" NEVER SHOWED UP! I called them back the next day and rescheduled. Sanford arrived, inspected the job and said they would call back with estimate. Sanford said he would do the job the next day. I heard nothing for the rest of that day. I called their number and it rang 8 times with no answer ...not even a machine. I then received a missed call from "restricted". Since it is "restricted" I could not answer call directly. Thought it might be them so I called back on their regular number. Yes it was them..... a business with a restricted phone number? Now about the phone call: Still no estimate and now they say cannot get to job until next week at the earliest. I have wasted 3 days. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Apparently a 5 dollar wax ring is 197.50 to install... wish I made 192.50 an hour... I would recommend going else where read more

Fast, friendly, and knowledgeable. Took his time to explain the issue and rectified it. Doesn't get any better!

I just had a clogged drain. Sanford showed up when he said he would, fixed the problem, and was quite pleasant. I hope I don't need him again but will use his services again if needed. I highly recommend his work. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Sanford and sons. They are extremely nice and helpful. I have had them out multiple times and they've always been on time, up front about all pricing and even told me where to get a part for less than I had already paid elsewhere. As a female homeowner, I am so happy to finally have found a plumber whom I trust to do a good job and not take advantage! Thanks y'all! read more

Sanford and Sons is awesome! I called them at 10:30, they were at my house in 20 mins and quoted me a great price when I explained my problem. They didn't mess around, they just got right to work and fixed the issue ASAP. I highly recommend this company. They even educated me on what to do with future plumbing issues. Wonderful company! Love em! read more

New Years day my place was backed up and we couldn't use the bathroom..My wife was irritated so I started calling, called 3 first the the Ramona Plumber directed to me to these guys and recommended them highly. After speaking with them they said it would be up to and hour but were here in ten minutes. Had me up and running in about 15 min. and my wife was happy. Great service and employees!!! read more

My experience with this company was excellent and I highly recommend them. Prompt, knowledgeable and extremely courteous. They came out the following day after our first call to diagnose the problem and returned the next morning to fix the problem. They replaced the main water pressure regulator to our home and replaced our water heater valve. Problem solved and we are very happy! read more

We had a leak in the downstairs bathroom and thought we were going to have to replace some of the plumbing. We called Sanford and he arrived with his son, right in the window of time he gave us when I called. He explained the situation to us, and told us that if we were handy, we could fix this problem ourselves! He explained what to do and saved us hundreds of dollars! That's extraordinary customer care. I'll definitely call him again when we have an issue and have already referred him to one of my friends in the area. Thanks Sanford (and son!) read more

We wouldn't use anyone else. We have called Sanford and Son several times (leaky pipe, replace the water heater....). The work is excellent, they are fantastic to work with, and they are extremely reasonable. This morning my mom called because they have a leaky pipe. I can't wait for them to meet Sanford and Son! I can't recommend this company enough. read more

This guy is the real deal. He spotted the problem within minutes and helped us resolve it quickly. You've probably seen a bunch of Plumbing companies with a lot of five star ratings. The way they get these ratings is because they give their costumers a discount when the customer post a 5 star review on yelp. Sanford doesn't do that. He's a genuinely nice person and an excellent professional. read more
