It was quick, effective, and fair. I had installed an RO system and it was leaking. Rather than do a bunch of work to try to fix it and find it ineffective, I just figured I'd call a pro and have peace of mind. Dakota did the work and befriended our nosy cat while he was doing it. Now I don't have to feel conflicted about using our RO. read more

As if icing on the cake (not a tasty one), the final piece of our recent water line/leak issues was discovered this morning by our water conditioning service guy, since the unit had been leaking out the drain valve 24/7. (Rewind, we had a leak in our main line to the house, which ended being two leaks.....landscaper able to fix....and thought all was well...but).....Conditioning dude checks our water pressure coming in the main, and is like "whoa man, it's 150psi, that's double what it's supposed to be" [I later google it....wow...it's really not a good situation] (And, wow, what had been leaking out and for how long prior to the main line leak repair????). He said "you need a plumber, like ASAP or it could start blowing things up". I was stoked with the higher "post repair" pressure, but it was a "little" much, shower was a bit stingy, and just had that back of mind feeling things weren't all rosy. So on cue, I reached out to Jeff at Swell, sent him a picture of the Pressure Regulator that needed to be replaced. He talked me through how I could possibly fix it myself (who does that? such a cool first step)....but me knowing my track record, this was gonna have to be a professional's job. So I asked him if they could come out, and boom, he confirmed my info, and estimated later in the afternoon. Then I got a text estimating much earlier (stoked), and Cole from Swell showed up right within the estimated time, with the new part in hand, and was VERY patient with me while I asked very esoteric and uninformed questions....and took the time to explain how everything really worked with the water flow (as opposed to the fantasy in my head). The replacement was done in less than 10 minutes, my endless questions took a bit longer, and Cole was super informed and knowledgeable. Offered up some great suggestions, and then that was that. Parts at cost, and a very fair labor charge for the service call. All in all, one of the best experiences with a plumbing company, and will be my first call for any future needs. Great job Jeff, you have built a solid company. Highly recommend!!! (And if you're curious about the shower, pressure is still high, because somehow when I installed it, I managed to wrestle out the flow restrictor...so it's a win win!). No drippy drip, no stinging showers, and the possibility of something else "caving to the pressure" diminished significantly. Amen. read more

I really appreciate Jeff at Swell Plumbing. He's an honest, reliable and highly skilled plumber! Instead of replacing my water heater as I worried would be needed, Jeff was able to diagnose and replace the problematic part. YAY! THANK YOU! read more

My backyard flooded early this year and I reached out to several plumbing businesses. Jeff at Swell Plumbing quickly contacted me. At that time I was getting quotes. Swell Plumbing was extremely fair on the price quoted to me by others companies. By 50% to give you a measuring tool. They came out on time and fixed my sump-pump quickly and didn't leave a mess. I highly recommend everyone to use Swell Plumbing. You can call around but you'd be wasting your time. I'm hiring them again for a different issue and I'm glad someone out there is honest and hardworking. They were extremely polite and professional. read more

Late last night i discovered a leak under the kitchen sink. Texted Jeff and his team at 7am this morning. Full repair completed by non the same day. These guys are quick, reliable, professional and clean up after the job is done. Highly recommend them! Well done guys read more

This is when review sites work. Called Swell to see if they could help with an outside water line issue on a Friday afternoon. It was an emergency scenario. Gus said it wasn't likely they could come to help. But instead of ending it there he offered assistance over the phone. Reviewed the photos I sent over and gave advice on how to repair it myself. He didn't need to do that and the gesture was outside what most services will do. He instilled confidence that I could make the temporary repair which I did saving us literally hundreds of dollars by avoiding the emergency plumbing services out there. If we need plumbing in the future, Swell will be our first call. Thank you Gus. You get the customer experience even if it is not a transaction... yet! Keep it up. read more

I had an excellent experience w/ this company. The issue w/ my toilet seemed straight forward but I have challenging/ uneven flooring which was an issue. Scheduling and great communication w/ arrival time was so helpful. Dakota was amazing, on time, good communicator, and nicely cleaned up after the repair was complete. He had been in the military, serving our country, and I appreciated his work ethic. Pricing was reasonable and transparent....always a plus. I highly recommend Swell Plumbing! read more

We had a leaking bathroom faucet. Dakota came out within a couple of hours and diagnosed the issue. He offered options for us, then showed us qualifying replacement parts. In just a couple of hours we had our new matching faucets and drains, and he had cleaned up the work area better than he found it. Definitely recommend Swell plumbing for your plumbing repairs! read more

Kyle and Chase from Swell Plumbing were super helpful, friendly and professional, we would definitely call them again.

Kyle changed a gas valve for me. He was corteous and very helpful....he even installed the stove for me, so it saved me some money! I felt bad that I did not have any cash to give him a tip, but he did not seem to mind and appreciated my intentions. I will be sure to use them again! read more

Outrageous labor charge ($396.55). I just got this bill from Swell plumbing for replacing the toilet fill valve flapper and side trip lever. The cost for these two items is less than $40. but was charged $396.55. The job didn't take more than one hour. I called around and got an estimate of $125 to $175 for this job. My mistake not discussing the price upfront so they took advantage and charged me this ridiculous amount for a job that took less than an hour. I will not use them in the future read more

Never got a response to my request....was hopeful based on reviews but I need to move on

I was having a leaky outdoor faucet fixed by a very competent handyman I have known for several years. He told me that I needed a new pipe fitting to which the faucet connects, and this would require some soldering. Inasmuch as I am by nature very thorough, I decided to get a second opinion and called Swell Plumbing whom I found on the internet and sent them some photos. Gus spent a lot of time with me on the phone and gave me the same diagnoses. The handyman then proceeded as he had planned and did an excellent job. I really appreciate the telephone consult from Swell Plumbing and will definitely keep them in mind for future work. Although I have never used them, they give every indication of being the kind of people I want to work with. read more

I had a lingering "singing" in the pipes in my downstairs bathroom! Called Swell, on the 4th of July mind you, and although it wasn't an emergency, they dispatched 2 young workers, Kyle and Dakota, the very next day!! They isolated the problem, asked to go ahead and fix to what I said, "hell yes"! Problem now history. I recommend Swell at any time, anywhere! Contact me if you want details BUT, problem solved!! read more

We needed a new water heater pronto, Swell Plumbing was right there for us. Gotta the work done the next day. Jeff Phillips and his two co-workers. Kyle and Cole were amazing. I recommend this company to anybody that needs help and a job well done and correctly. read more

I found Swell Plumbing after researching reviews on Yelp. I was extremely pleased with the entire process from the moment I called to schedule the appointment to when the job was complete. They were on time, professional, kind, informed and shared the process with me the entire way through. They were reasonably priced for the work they performed and made the payment process seamless. I would highly recommend them and will absolutely call them again for any plumbing needs. read more

Very good, efficient service! Nice, respectful young men who knew what to do to fix our faucets.

I originally hired Swell Plumbing from a referral from my General Contractor for master bathroom remodel. They did a great job, advised where to spend money and where I did not need to spend money. The job was a home run, entire bathroom remodel, changed copper, installed finish, moved drains. Every time they showed up, they were on time, cleaned every day, were super kind and total pros. The job cost ended up being exactly what they promised. Fast forward, we had a slow drain in our master shower, Kyle and Cole showed up, unfortunately showed us what we did wrong to cause the slow drain, cleaned it, fixed it and left the place spotless. If you have any residential plumbing needs, they can handle all of it. Great job Swell Plumbing! read more

Jeff is super responsive, and has a fantastic team that is prompt, professional, kind, and very helpful. 100% trust Swell Plumbing and highly recommend. read more

Can't recommend enough. Quick service, thorough explanations without being talked down to these guys have been great at coming to inspect a problem and fixing it quickly, efficiently and with good communication and care. They were able to come out and see that our water heater was leaking and replace it within the same afternoon. Highly recommend read more

We had a flushing issue with our toilet...come to find out it was the toilet itself. Kyle and Cole are quite the tag team...Cole took out the old toilet, Kyle went to purchase a new one for us, they installed the new one and hauled the old one away...No Fuss, No Mess. They got the job done in record time and a great price! I've used Jeff before on two major plumbing issues and he's terrific. It's wonderful to see two young guys, who were both personable and yet professional carrying on the tradition....TEN stars!!!! read more

Neighbors recommended Swell Plumbing to me and I'm so glad they did. I got same day service for a leaking shower valve and Luke and Dakota were on time, courteous, professional and completed the job expeditiously. I highly recommend them. read more

After having a horrible experience with a previous plumbing company, I was skeptical to contact another one as my trust was all but lost in plumbers as a whole. However, our drain lines wouldn't drain and it was time to start the search again. My friend recommended Swell and I am SO glad she did! Dakota came out and I explain to him my situation (the previous company made a huge mistake and then told me we would need to basically rip up our backyard and completely replace all of the pipes). Dakota told me he would do everything to avoid that and started from scratch. Jeff ended up coming as well and after a quick 6 hours and lots of hard work, the drain pipes were clear, our backyard was in tact and my faith in plumbers (or at least Swell) had been restored. They had snaked tons of debris and tree roots and that was really the only problem. I cannot thank Dakota and Jeff enough for clearing the drains and for the positive experience. Do yourself a favor and give them a call!!!!! read more

What's a holiday weekend without a plumbing problem? Ours was mysterious water pooling in our garage. Called on Sunday and got a response by the end of the day that Jeff would be here the next day (today, Memorial Day). Woke up today and water was all gone. Called to maybe cancel but he said "I can come by and take a look". Good thing I did. First the plan was to try to diagnose if/where there was a moisture/leak where we could see water had escaped from behind a wall. The price was reasonable and within minutes the problem was diagnosed - sewer had been intermittently backing up into our never used downstairs shower and because toilet seal was old it was also coming up through bottom of toilet but also therefore sneaking out through the wall and into the garage. Jeff and Kyle found the sewer clean out, did a little camera work and of course there were roots. Those were reamed out, toilet was reseated and where roots are coming in to sewer line was identified. May have to fix that in the future (roots like to root) but happy ending for today. Now, about Kyle and Jeff: clearly very knowledgeable, reasonable price, explained everything and allowed me to video the explanation for my other half and just in general it was a very positive experience. It is so hard to know who to call in these situations. The reviews were wonderful (esp the real estate agent who has to refer contractors) so I gave it a whirl and now I have a forever plumber! Don't hesitate to call this company. read more

Had a plumbing issue. Called Swell Plumbing and was extremely surprised by the fast respose and professionalism of the two young men that came out.

They are super responsive, respectful of property and they know what they are doing. The nicest guys and always do a great job. We have had them do all sorts of work on our home. From fixing leaky pipes gas lines, to re-piping a new water main and now a kitchen remodel. We highly recommend! read more

I had Jeff come to my home on very short notice to find a leak detected by my Flo leak detection system. He was prompt to answer the phone and described exactly what he would do - gave me an honest quote and quickly inserted me into his schedule. He came about 90 minutes later with his one of his partners, Dakota - and I couldn't be happier with both of them. Ya know that feeling you get when you're dealing with someone who's honest and cares? I immediately got that feeling with Jeff and Dakota and felt very comfortable about letting them find the issue. They spent about an hour going thru every fitting and pipe in my home - and luckily they traced the problem to something simple and easy to resolve. I will have zero hesitation calling Swell again and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great plumbing team. read more

The team at Swell was super responsive and so polite throughout the repair. They were very considerate of my cost and explained the options to me. Will use them again for sure. read more

The guys came in to do a toilet remount that had old hardware and pulled it off for a reasonable price.

We've had swell over multiple times, they're very efficient, communicative, and respectful.

Call Swell Plumbing! Super responsive, professional and polite! Our upstairs master shower and sink were clogged and our usual plumber never called back so I went on a Yelp search and found Swell. Jeff called right back and sent Luke and Dakota within a couple hours. They were super nice and got our drains unclogged. Highly recommend! read more

Another excellent experience with Swell Plumbing. Jeff, you have the absolute best team! We needed washer valves changed out today for our new washer/dryer being delivered on Saturday. We also had an issue with a leak/running toilet. ** Kyle and Cole were here on time, prepared with replacement parts and finished in less than an hour and left everything spotless. We have been using Swell Plumbing for close to 10 years now and we have never been disappointed and we have always received top quality service. I never miss an opportunity to share contact information and recommend Jeff and his team to friends and family. I just shared your info with the appliance sales person at Home Depot in Lake Forest. Thanks again, Kyle band Cole. :) read more
