Slique Plumbing

Very poor customer service - can't see how they get 5 stars on Yelp. My partner requested service…read morecalls from them multiple times yet they refused to call us to schedule. We were in a hard place to find another because the home warranty group assigned them to us, yet we had no contact for two weeks from them despite our multiple requests. Home warranty co finally got a hold of them, and Christati said it was OUR fault for calling them when they couldn't answer the phone, or if we called after their chosen business hours. LOL! Home warranty co found that irresponsible so cancelled the contract, and sent us a new plumber that only had 2 stars... that firm came within 6 hours, were super polite, and fixed the leak quickly. Don't believe all the reviews you see on here is the lesson... and don't wait for call backs from firms that don't want your business.

If you're thinking about hiring Christati Plumbing, think again…read more I reached out via Yelp to Christati Plumbing because they (and I) are located in Valley Center. I always like to hire local/support small businesses when I can. Christian responded quickly, and we were able to set up an appointment for between 10am-12pm on 08/12/25. He told me that they would call me 30 minutes prior to arrival, and as promised, the technician called 30 minutes before arriving. The technician spent a while trying to troubleshoot the issue (hot water turning cold/water pressure dropping). He checked both showers (where we experience the most issues), one of the bathroom sinks, and the kitchen sink. He determined that a sensor on the hot water heater had gone bad, but he stated that the water heater had a 5 year warranty - meaning the part would be replaced for free. He attempted to call the water heater company, but was on hold for a long time. Finally, he hung up with them and told me that they were going to call them back at a later time when they weren't so busy to order the replacement part, rather than wait around on the phone for an unknown amount of time. At that point he left. On 08/24, after nearly 2 weeks of silence, I texted the technician on the phone number that he called me from to check on the status of the replacement part. No response. This morning, I called the technician on the phone number that he called me from. No answer. At that point, I decided to reach back out to Christian in the Yelp messages that we had scheduled the appointment on. When I let Christian know that I had texted/called the technician directly, he was obviously very upset that I had broken the unwritten rule of directly contacting the last person that I had been dealing with. He told me that he that he was not aware that there was any communication between myself and his technician (there wasn't any - since he didn't reply to my text or answer/return my call). Rather than answer my question regarding the status of the replacement part, Christian decided to scold me for contacting the technician directly, and refused to accept any responsibility for the lack of communication these past couple of weeks. He offered to send out another technician multiple times, and I still don't understand why. If the first technician was able to determine the issue and they were supposed to order the replacement part, why would I need another technician to come out and tell me the same thing? That makes me feel like he didn't trust the first technician's diagnosis. I tried numerous times to get an answer out of him regarding the replacement part, but he was clearly having a hard time understanding the question. After he repetitively offered the same solution, I asked him for a yes/no answer if they ordered the part and what good sending a new technician would do. I figured that if he was unable to answer those simple questions, he clearly had no interest in resolving my problem - and I was right. Christian wasn't able to mentally process my questions, so at that point I decided to find another, more capable plumbing company (Mauzy). Not only were they able to come out the same day, did a much lengthier investigation, and determined that the issue had nothing to do with the water heater whatsoever. I see that Christani Plumbing has a lot of 5 star reviews, and I really have to wonder if these ratings were paid for or made by friends and family. If you look closely at the 1 star reviews, you'll see situations similar to mine, except for one instance where he rectified the situation. In this circumstance, the updated review states "Apparently there was a break down in communication between the technician who we initially dealt with and Chris". It sounds like there was also a breakdown in communication between the technician that I dealt with and Christian, but this time his resolution was to argue and not take responsibility. Edit: As you can see from Christian's reply below, he still refuses to accept responsibility for his/his company's poor communication and customer service - despite the photographic evidence. He has called my wife and myself liars for leaving honest reviews of our experience with his company, and somehow thinks that reporting our reviews to Yelp is going to get them removed. Please use Christian's continued unprofessionalism as further reasoning to choose literally any other plumbing company. If you do choose Christati Plumbing, prepare to be disappointed.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!…read more My 25 year old water heater finally kicked the bucket and I knew it was time for a replacement. Found this company on Yelp and figured I'd give them a call, based on their great reviews. I called at 08:30 am and someone was here by 11. They came to my house, went to get the new heater, replaced the water heater, and took the old one with them all before 1:30. New 50 gallon water heater replace for $2,910. Kahlil and Bobby took great care of me and did not try to upsell me. They were kind and professional. Card, cash, or Venmo accepted. If I ever need a plumber in the future, I know who to call!

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.

A Trusted Plumber for Over a Decade -- and Truly Part of My Journey…read more As a co-founder of an Adult Residential Facility for individuals with developmental disabilities since 2007, finding dependable and honest professionals was never just a convenience -- it was a necessity. And that's exactly what I found in Oscar Santos of VIP Plumbing. I met Oscar around 2009, and from that day on, he has been my one and only plumber. Dependable. Reasonably priced. Skilled. And someone who genuinely takes pride in his work. Before Oscar, I was replacing toilets every other month because my residents were behaviorally challenged and very hard on fixtures. When Oscar stepped in, he immediately understood our needs and installed industrial-grade toilets that held up beautifully -- saving me time, stress, and thousands of dollars over the years. Just recently, Oscar completed a full bathroom remodel in my Escondido property, and the workmanship was exceptional. The very photos he shared on his page are from that project -- a true showcase of his expertise. His entire team is kind, professional, and incredibly helpful. This is a family business you can trust, and I will recommend VIP Plumbing to anyone who needs quality, integrity, and craftsmanship that lasts. If you're looking for the right plumber -- look no further. VIP Plumbing is the best in the business. Let me know if you'd like a shorter IG/TikTok version or a scroll-style quote version as well.
