Needed a toilet replaced along with rusted flange. Mario Q. picked up the requested toilet, and installed it along with new flange & replaced emergency water shut off. He did a great job, and left the bathroom pristine. This is the 3rd time I have used Solid plumbing, and I have been very happy with their work. read more

Been using solid plumbing for a couple years now for my properties . They've been honest and reliable . His crew is very clean and efficient with their work . Will continue using them . read more

Inexperienced and untrustworthy. Tried to over charge for unnecessary work. Called another company and they fixed it easily.

Mario, Randy and the team came out the same day I called them with a draining issue. They were on time, professional and provided a quote quickly after doing a camera scope. The house is older (~70 years) with the original plumbing and they were very communicative with what the process would be to replace the piping. Highly recommend with the communication and professionalism from this company. read more

I have had a couple unfortunate issues at my house and Mario and his team have been to the rescue each time. From the outside main pipe that sprung a leak to replacing our hot water heater, they were fast to the house and efficient. My property manager added them as their plumber because of how well they did. I hope you never need to call them, but if you do, don't hesitate to give Mario a call. read more

Emmanuel and Angelo are the best team! They showed up at my house in El Cajon within 30 minutes of calling. We had been dealing with this issue for almost a year, and they were the first ones to actually figure it out. They ran a camera down the drain, found the clog right away, cut out the damaged pipe, and replaced everything properly. Great pricing, super professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Solid Plumbing & Drains! read more

I had an outside garden spicket spring a leak on a Sunday at 4:30pm. Water was shooting out and gave Solid Plumbing a call. They had a Plumber on site within a hour. He capped the problem. Then I hit him with another issue I had. A clogged line/sink next to my washer in the garage. It was a tight spot next to my water heater/supply rack. He had a machine like auger and after 20 minutes or so cleared the line. The tech was friendly and very professional. He could have put off the second issue but was eager to get it done! A Solid job read more

Solid plumbing was there for us when we had an emergency leak in our home. My step mom is 72 and we didn't know what to do. Mario at solid plumbing was knowledgeable and helpful. He made us feel so comfortable and called all the necessary people to come help. He came out over and over to check and make sure everything was running smoothly. He really went above and beyond for us and it won't be forgotten. These guys are great people. read more

Excellent quality drain and pipe clearing work, excellent communication and value, overall the best I've ever experienced! Mario is the perfect business owner who is 100% committed to excellence in every way with himself and his team, and builds relationships by going above and beyond to make sure the job is done right, priced fairly, and he's honest (which seems rare these days). More service companies should be like Mario and his company, thank you for taking great care of us! Highly recommended! A++++ read more

Quick response. Fast service. Affordable and reasonable prices. Great customer service. Same day availability which was crucial for my needs

Mario did I great job, answered all my concerns, was more then helpful. Took the time and effort to resolve the problem. Went out of his way to resolved the problem. Would highly recommend Mario. I had called three other companies. Sold plumbing was the only one who called me back and came out first thing in the morning to service me. Would highly recommend. read more

Mario talked a good game, and the job got done. I am not sure I got the best value, but that's partially my fault, in that I was motivated to get an emergency solved ASAP, and so I only got one bid -- from Solid. I would have felt a lot more comfortable if Solid could have provided a line item invoice, so I could see what I was being charged for each task. Mario claimed that they're somehow not allowed to provide that information. There were a few less-than-stellar incidents along the way, causing delays and inconvenience. These seemed to be caused by inadequate attention to detail, perhaps due to Solid being "spread too thin". But the job did finally get done. read more

We had a leaky copper water line in the attic, dripping through ceiling drywall late on a hot Friday afternoon. We contacted Solid Plumbing & Drains through the Yelp website. We appreciated Mario, the owner, quickly responding by phone and that he arrived with his assistant about an hour later. Mario replaced a short length of the leaking water line, charging $658. So far so good. But Mario said and did several things which caused me to no longer trust him. (1) When he gave me the initial price of $750, he said there were actually two leaky fittings (showed me photos) but the next morning I saw he only made one repair; apparently there was really only one leaky joint. (2) His written estimate said he would make solder joints per code, but then he mentioned he would use a "pro press", which I Googled and found out is essentially a crimped connection which is faster and easier for the plumber. When I told him I wanted conventional soldered joints, he resisted and tried to talk me into the pro press. When I insisted on soldered joints, he said he would need a "change order" to charge more money. I pointed out that his written estimate called for solder joints; he said the estimate was AI generated and it should have said pro press. So after a rather lengthy discussion Mario agreed to do the job with soldered joints, and it looks like he did a good job. (3) He told me his work is guaranteed for one year; but his invoice (received by email hours later) had a link to "terms and conditions", which state that his work is only guaranteed for 90 days. (4) When he first described what he had found in the attic (as he quoted me an initial price of $750) he said the leaks had been going on for some time with damage to a wood beam, and that he would refer me to a remediation company. But at the end (after our disagreement on method of repair) I asked him about the possible beam damage, and he acted like he had never said any such thing. read more

Erik from Solid Plumbing & Drains provided FANTASTIC service. My sink was backed up and unusable and there were potential leaks in the plumbing throughout the house. He was timely, did a thorough inspection, gave sound advice and feedback, and was super professional, friendly, and walked me through everything that was being done. I'm so glad I'm able to use my kitchen again and have a sense of peace about the state of the plumbing in my house after his inspection. I'm very happy with the service, and I'd definitely use and recommend this company for future plumbing needs. Thank you, Erik! read more

I recently had water damage issues and was referred to this local business. Mario and his team of people were very professional and efficient during the initial visit. They came on time, assessed the situation, explained what needed to get done, and also provided me with other referrals for other issues that needed to be done. They came back the following day, and completed the job. Very fast and easy to work with price points. Thank you for doing me a solid! read more

My sewer line backed up. They showed up, attempted to clear the line and discovered the line was broken and full of tree roots. The owner Mario worked directly with the insurance company and got everything covered. They arrived early to start the digging and replaced the line in a day. I couldn't be happier and saved his number in my phone to call for any plumbing problems in the future. Thanks guys read more

Eric, Christian, Joe, and (owner)Mario are our superheroes! They came initially to unclog our toilet, and found we required major work. They petitioned our home service company to permit them the work, and with persistence it was approved! Thank God for these men; we knew nothing of the problems we had! Eric and Christian went beneath the house and replaced old brittle and breaking cast iron pipes with new ABS pipes in our main line. These men deserve a commendation for their skill in performing their, beyond dirty, work. Tirelessly, they completed the work necessary, and meticulously cleaned up. Again, these men are superheroes, worthy of praise for their excellence, skill, work ethic, and for being extremely personable. Definitely call Solid Plumbing for all your Plumbing needs! read more

We had a ROUGH Thanksgiving plumbing week at our house (sparing details) and tried another plumbing service first who came in and didn't solve anything. Called Solid Plumbing and Mario called me back within 5 mins and was at the house before we knew it. Mario and his crew stayed with us through the entire week, including another emergency visit on Friday afternoon. They stayed with us until the situation was solved and were prompt, professional & dependable. Will not be using another company moving forward. read more

Erik came to service my bathtub, which had not been draining for a while, and was getting worse. We had someone come by a few weeks ago who wanted to charge us $10,000 and tear up our driveway to fix it. We decided to live with it but it kept getting worse. Erik was able to clear it completely in 1/2 hour. He was friendly and professional, and cleaned up well, charging a reasonable fee. I cannot recommend him highly enough! read more

Quick response after-hours on a weekend night, came out and assessed the problem with our clogged main drainage line which was causing backups in our bathrooms, toilets, and shower. Snaked the main line but was not able to fix the clog, so Mario and his coworker then did a hydro jet which cleared out the backup and fixed the issue. The team was on time and professional and fixed the problem quickly. read more
