Whenever I have an issue that requires a plumber, I make sure to call The Green Plumber. Timothy is dependable, timely, and does excellent work. He took care of a clog in a bathroom sink, and descaled our tankless hot water. Timothy does great work, is honest, and is a really good guy. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE GREEN PLUMBER! read more

Timothy was prompt, helpful, and fair. His company has been in the community for many years, and he has earned his great reputation.

Extremely helpful in identifying type of kitchen faucet. Did not charge for online help

Nobody looks forward to calling a plumber, but calling Tim the Green Plumber is like calling family. Tim has repaired my 42-year-old house's natural wear and tear to make it better than new. I've also had him correct shortcuts taken by other plumbers. Tim is a master plumber, honest and thorough. He will work on your house as if it is his own. read more

I have experienced excellent customer service from The Green Plumber. I first started with Tim 15 years ago and recently had several issues that needed repair. Tim went above and beyond to research options for replacement parts, problem solve and educate me on ongoing maintenance. He communicates effectively and clearly and is consistently available for advice and direction. I find him to be ethical, honest and respectful in every circumstance. read more

I cannot recommend "the Green Plumber" as he did not find and fix the issue I initially called him for. I had to call another to do the job. His prices are extremely high for what he did do; $300 to snake a line is 3 times that I paid for others. I called "the Green Plumber" to find a leak in the sprinkler line on the front lawn (he was unable to do so). He proceeded to find another issue with my main line that I was fully aware of as I had been through this before. The previous remedy (to snake the line) was less than a third of his PRICE! In the 4 hours he was here, he made numerous phone calls besides talking to another plumber that stopped by in front of my home. He managed to snake the line and take a video. I paid him $435 just to get him to leave! Now he asks $375 more for his video? The sprinklers were off a week only to find the flooding remained. The line was indeed leaking and needed repair so I sought after another. In my opinion, the green plumber is appropriately named as he is very "green" at his job. read more

Timothy fixed a very simple problem 4 other people and companies could not. Saved me thousands of dollars!! Thank you Timothy!!

1) The previous plumber was out of down and performed the same measures that you performed to clear the drain - at half the price. 2) "The large pull-out drawer is not easily removed, so all work was performed with the drawer open all the way" It's a basic Ikea door. Pull out and pull up. Not rocket science. 3) Here's a suggestion: If a customer wants you do to something (basic) and you're not sure how to do it, pick up the phone and call them. If you did (maybe during the "15 minutes" it took you to walk to your van to find an O-ring) I would have suggested the bare wood around the hole for the sink drain as a contact point (if all you carried in your van is silicone) or, alternatively, using Lexel clear or construction adhesive. Interesting how quick you were to throw your hands up at that part of the job but had to diligence to try to upsell me on major plumbing work (opening up the wall to elevate the sanitary tee) or charge me $5 for a .30 cent O-ring that takes 5 seconds to replace. read more

Tim is GREAT! What a lifesaver he is! I would recommend him to all of you. He saved my butt when we had a hidden hot water leaking pipe in our wall. He came right away repaired the line and cleaned up the mess! I would give him the highest rating of a 6 f Yelp had one! Thanks again Tim, you saved us! Sincerely, Tom Schmitz read more

Nothing but good things to say about Timothy. He is a busy guy, so happy he was available to install our tankless water heater and whole house filter. He's personable, professional, works utilizing best practices & materials and all to code. Highly recommend! read more

Timothy was so knowledgeable and helpful. He is our new and highly improved go-to for all things plumbed!

Timothy, the owner, put in a recirculating hot-water pump for us a few years back and resolved a problem with the drain from our upstairs tub. Great job, fair price, haven't had any problem with his work. So this week when we had an issue with the drain from our kitchen sink, he was the only one I wanted to call. He came out that same afternoon, diagnosed the problem and did what was needed immediately to get the sink working. He gave us a proposal for the long-term solution and we're looking forward to getting that all done. One of the great things about Timothy is that he's happy to point out things we can do ourselves, and how to do it. He educates his customers and that's awesome. read more

We are lucky that Tim is our neighbor and also our go-to plumber! He has completed sewer work, helped us with the plumbing for a permitted new bathroom, and worked on various other plumbing issues in our home. It's hard to go wrong with a great person who is also completely competent! Feel confident hiring The Green Plumber! read more

The Green Plumber - Plumbing action shot! - Plumbing Near Me - Long Beach, California

This guy does things right. He made it so easy to schedule and was super responsive throughout the whole process. His notes/invoice was super detailed and he took the time to help me understand the issue, which I appreciated as a new homeowner. Thanks, Timothy! read more

I called Timothy, The Green Plumber, to have him look at our dishwasher that wasn't draining properly. He was on his way to an appointment but asked if I felt like I could work on it myself as he walked me through the steps. Timothy was so patient as I took apart the overfill trap, found a wire hanger, and followed his directions. He stayed on the phone until everything was working as normal. What a guy! Who does that these days? Timothy, The Green Plumber, that's who!! Thank you for helping make me feel useful around the house! read more

Timothy is a great guy, and very honest. I was a little unsure about how reliable he was at answering calls, but that has changed. I used The Green Plumber when I first moved into my condo 10 years ago to replace a 20-year old water heater. Now 10 years later, my water heater was acting up. The pilot light would not stay on. Timothy looked at my water heater and told me what I needed to do to repair it if I wanted to save the cost of having him do it. I didn't trust myself and had him do it and quoted me a price up front to replace the parts. While he was replacing it on Friday, something broke. The only way to get me back up and running was to replace my 10-year old burner or replace the whole water heater at a steeper price. Timothy called around many different vendors and was able to locate and get me a new burner by Monday. The burner costs more than double what he quoted me, but still only charged me the original quote. Thank you so much for making me a priority when I had no hot water! read more

If you are looking for a professional, honest, cost-effective, service technician, Timothy is the exact person to hire. We had two other 'salesmen' come in and attempt to 'repair' our furnace and quoted us around $30,000 for an entirely new unit. Timothy fixed our units In an hour for a very very very reasonable price. I would recommend him to anyone, he's the type of individual who will spend time diagnosing an issue and solving the problem, rather than replacing the entire system like other businesses. Can't say enough good things about his service. read more

I rarely write Yelp reviews being on the go but Tim's one of the Good Guys when it comes to Long Term experience and Problem-Solving. Our apartment here in Belmont Shore needed a new faucet and Tim came out of his way from another big job just to make sure he installed it and even cleaned up the sink surface and tiles before he installed our new faucet; after he cleaned and installed everything i didn't even recognize our bathroom sink!! WOW! Quick Easy services I have had him or his crew over several times for various plumbing jobs very down to earth and approachable guys and will show you exactly what needs to be fixed no over charges and great prices. Thanks for all your hard work Green Plumber guys!!!! read more

The Green Plumber - Tankless water heater - Plumbing Near Me - Long Beach, California

I have personally used the Green plumber for the past three years for my 50's Long Beach condo. One of which was a major job and very custom. I went through three other plumbers of who were not able to come up with any solution or more or less, just out of there skill level. Then Tim of the Green plumber came along and made it happen with various options. They use the best USA made material not the cheap imported stuff like what others would use that's very important to me. Hell I own a U.S. Union made vacuum that says a lot about what I look for. Look I could go on bla,bla,bla but bottom line you get what you pay for so give them a ring I highly recommend using these guys. Oh I don't want forget very clean too. Cheers read more

I finally heard back as to why I never heard back from them after the initial visit and plan for repairs. I understand how a family crisis can interrupt your business but there are ways to manage your business that don't leave your customers in a lurch, or at least let them know what is going on. read more

Hi all, been a while since I needed to write a Yelp review. Tim is awesome. I felt compelled to share a great review when its soooo deserved. Thanks Tim!!! Would recommend to all my friends and family. read more

As luck would have it, we were 45 minutes from departing to LAX for vacation at 6am and the kitchen and bathroom sinks started backing up. Panic! Immediately we thot there is no way we are gonna get a plumber here in less than 45 minutes to fix this mess. Then I thot of Green Plumber who had helped us out a couple times before (see previous review). Called and left a message for Timothy and he returned our call immediately. He got out of bed and was at our house in 10 minutes! He assessed the problem, we gave him the key and jumped in an Uber to LAX. While on vacay, Timothy texted us and sent pics of the work he did. Thanks to Timothy our vacay was saved. The repairs were done professionally and our place was left clean and secure. read more

Very helpful stuff and professional services On time and Clean services I would use green plumber again read more

Exceptional service! Timothy got back to me right away and was able to repair my hot water heater same day. Great guy, great service, I highly recommend read more

A couple days after my appointment, Timothy called to follow up on my appointment. I rehashed my mistake of our unit being a sealed unit and what the technician reported. Timothy clarified they would never fault the customer for giving incorrect information since it is not our forte. He clarified the charge of $89 was for diagnostic purposes (when they actually run the leads on your unit to trouble shoot the issue). When he reported this, I told him that was not done by the technician during his visit due to the fact that the outside unit was working and rain was trickling down my lattice; on and around the unit (safety hazard). No leads were attached whatsoever. He simply tightened my unit. After hearing about this, Timothy stated I would only be charged $39 (the actual service charge). I am very thankful Timothy cleared things up regarding but it makes me wonder why I was told by the technician said the $89 was the service charge. Besides clarifying the charge amount, he also gave me pointers as to how to test my unit to get a better idea of what may be causing the problem. He was very thorough with the follow up and invited my father to call him personally to see how he can help. I give Timothy's service five stars but one star docked due to the initial discrepancy in pricing by the technician. read more

I had Tim come out and replace my toilet flange. He was quick and careful. Cleaned up the area after he completed the job. The price was fair. I heartily recommend Tim when you have plumbing needs. read more

Tim came out to perform the standard maintenance on my Noritz tankless water heater. It required descaling, filter cleaning and the ignition cleaned off to insure economical heating and safety concerns. Tim arrived on time and did an excellent job. I checked a few other plumbers and found Tim to be the most reasonable for price. FOR ALL YOU TANKLESS OWNERS OUT THERE, The Green Plumber is the one to use! read more

I haven't had them come out to our place yet but when I reached out to ask plumbing questions they were more than willing to take the time to help me even though I wasn't having them come out. Taking the time to help me fix the problem on my own showed me that they care and it's not just about the money for them! read more

If you're like most people, you probably like waking to a gentle rain falling just outside your bedroom window. However, it's an entirely different story when you realize the "falling rain sound" is actually coming from inside the walls of your house! Yep, it finally happened - one of the 50+ year old galvanized pipes finally gave up the ghost and broke - perfectly timed - just a few days before Christmas! What followed were puddles on the floor and soggy carpet - along with the urgent need of an honest and skilled plumber. Fortunately, I knew just the guy to call...and that would be Timothy, The Green Plumber. Since he'd come out 3 years earlier to skillfully fix a pinhole leak in an attic pipe (and warned more such holes would soon follow), I knew he was the guy I wanted for the job, and I knew what his diagnosis would be...That's right, the dreaded and inevitable "Repipe." We're talking no small inconvenience here. Unfortunately, he told me he was sorry, but that he was booked solid through the first week of the New Year, and that I'd have to wait if I wanted him to handle the job - but I decided he was worth waiting for, so reluctantly decided we'd put up with no running water on one side of the house for the next three weeks. However, before the Plumber could do his work, an Abatement company was required to test for lead in the paint and asbestos in the popcorn ceiling (yes, it's an 1960s era house), and attic insulation. Fortunately, test results came back negative for all, saving an extra 4 days that would have been needed to properly deal with hazardous materials. Then after several days of large and noisy fans to dry out the water damaged walls and floor, it was just a matter of waiting for Timothy to show up. D-Day... Timothy and his crew of 3-4 showed up early in January, and began the job. First they laid down protective construction paper in all the areas they'd be working in, then began opening up the walls to remove and replace the old, rusty pipes. So out goes the old, and in comes the star of the show - the new and shiny Copper pipes. After the pipes were in place, it was time for the holes in the walls and in the ceiling (the crew made two on both ends of the house to expedite the repipe), to be repaired, along with several major holes made in the outside stucco walls. Pipes in, holes repaired - and a new gratitude for the luxury of indoor plumbing. Timothy and his gang had skillfully completed the job, and throughout the project, maintained a polite and professional attitude. (The only minor negative I'd offer is that the job took some 17 days to complete, instead of the 4-5 originally mentioned. But, this understandable, considering the work took place when we were having an unlikely deluge of rainfall every other day in January. So really no points off for this, just added to the length of the ordeal. I knew other companies might rush through the job, but I trusted Timothy would take the necessary time needed to do things right). So yeah, it was noisy, cold, and dirty (did I mention NOISY!), but now whenever I hear the sound of "falling rain" - I can be sure it's just that - and rollover and go back to sleep. So a word of wisdom if you're aware your pipes have seen better days: Be preemptive and replace them before a small geyser in your attic forces a world of inconvenient water woes upon you and your family. Hire the Green Plumber - you'll be glad you did. read more

BEST SERVICE BY FAR! Very knowledgeable about his craft as he is a third generation plumber. Will always give you an honest opinion and great recommendations and referrals. Would recommend to anyone! read more

Timothy is an angel. He rescued me and was professional, informative, and very detail oriented. Would recommend a thousand times over!

I searched on YELP for a plumber around the Long Beach area and considering the excellent reviews, I chose The Green Plumber. So I placed a call to Timothy who was working on a job and he scheduled his partner Tony to come by to check our clogged drain at kitchen faucet and washing machine. Tony came to my home as scheduled. He evaluated the problem and briefly described the work involved and gave an estimate before doing any work. I agreed and he performed the work as stated. He did an excellent job and the drains are now clean and work great! He also gave some tips and suggestions for maintaining the drain. He is willing to help out with any questions and task as needed. I'm proud to say that he wasn't trying to add additional services or falsifying information to gain some more money. I would recommend The Green Plumber. It's always hard to find a good plumber to trust these days, but thankfully I found the Green Plumber!! read more

I have had two very positive experiences with the Green Plumber. The first happened a couple of years ago when I called for a quote on a tankless water heater. Timothy was honest with me about the cons of such a unit in my case, including maintenance costs. He was helpful and friendly. In the end, I decided against getting a tankless water heater but vowed I would call the Green Plumber with my next plumbing need. When my hot water heater went out a week ago, I called the Green Plumber right away. He sent someone out within a couple of hours to diagnose and fix the problem. I would definitely recommend the Green Plumber. read more

Called and spoke to Tim the owner Wednesday night, scheduled service call for Friday morning due to the Thanksgiving holiday. I was ok with that. The tech Tony came out as communicated and did a great job, explained process, how and why. Liked that he put shoe covers on before coming into house as we remove our shoes for indoors. Service was quick and I especially like the 1 yr. guarantee on the work done and longer on the parts used. I would recommend this company and the tech Tony for a job well done and his ability to build good customer relations. read more

Had a leaking water heater that resulting in no hot water for 3 days. Spoke with owner Timothy who promised his worker in 2 hours. Owner thought would need new water heater. When I told him what the "symptoms" were, he agreed that just need to replace a valve. Meanwhile realizing the simplicity of it, I asked a friend to take a look at it who seemed to figure it out. I started to call to cancel, but Timothy called saying his worker, Tony was already here. My friend told Tony what he discovered. Tony, had the part he was told to bring, but said I don't want to try and get you to pay for something you don't need. He actually pointed out the real problem, simply changing the $13 pipe that came out of the wall. Since it looked like it was something my friend could do, that's what he suggested, saving me over a $100. I apologized to Tony and he said, that's ok, this was my last job of the day. Tony was quite refreshing. I wholeheartedly recommend Tony as an honest worker who deserves blessings to come back his way. If you need a plumber call The Green Plumber and request Tony. Once I find reliable service I remain loyal and spread the news! read more

Yes, the gas my husband and I had been smelling in the back yard was, in fact, leaking from the gas line under the ground. The Gas Company Service Technician confirmed it, shut off my gas, and told me to call a plumber. "Why did you have to turn off my gas?" I asked. "So you don't blow up the whole neighborhood on the Fourth of July," the gas man said. Timothy the Green Plumber broke the news to us gently: he would have to put in a new gas line. He would have to dig a 16" deep trench through my back yard, from the alley fence to the house. My backyard is a secret garden with a waterfall and butterfly shrubs. I work out there on a patio table: it's my home office. The thought of anyone touching even the dirt in my garden frightened me more than the idea of exploding. "Don't worry! Don't worry!" Timothy assured me that he, too, was an organic gardening fanatic and would give the plants the right-of-way, swerving the pipes around them. "And I'll return everything to its exact same position when I'm done. Your back yard will look exactly like it does right now when I'm finished. I promise you." Timothy is a man of his word. My umbrella-capped office desk sits again in its perfect position. My pebble path is raked. As they took their leave, Timothy's assistant actually thanked me for bringing money into the company. So use the Green Plumber. Put your plumbing money into this company. Annie read more

For my birthday, my father gave me a beautiful ruby ring. While showering, I took it off and set it up on the top shower door bar and promptly forgot about it (BIG MISTAKE). I realized a couple of days later that I hadn't seen it since then and checked, and of course it was gone. After a thorough searching of the house and interrogation of my boyfriend and our roommate, who said that she heard something fall while taking a shower, I had no choice but to come to the conclusion that it went down the drain. I am heartbroken, but not ready to give up. After searching for a plumber on Yelp, I decided on Tim at the Green Plumber. I told him of my plight and not only was he very understanding but he said that he would come over within an hour. Talk about a great first impression! When he arrived, he put booties on so that he didn't muddy anything up and began snaking the pipe with a video camera thingy-bob (I'm sure that's the technical term). We didn't have any luck with that, so he offered to go under the house to see if he could access the trap. This poor guy had to crawl under my house in the mud and bugs to check this. I don't know how he does it! Unfortunately it's not an easy fix. We're going to have to cut and replace the pipes in order to find it, so I had to tell him that I would call him back after talking to my landlord. Thankfully, he's willing to do it for us for VERY cheap so I think we'll be able to do it. He didn't even charge me at the end of the day! Tim was the consummate professional the entire time and was very sympathetic to my overly-emotional histrionics. Even if he is not able to find my ring, he has earned a fan for his stupendous service. read more

Thought I had a plumbing problem. Called Tim. Sent someone out. Went through every possible problem. Was here about an hour. Realized that it's not a plumbing problem. Fixed something else. Cleaned up. Left. Didn't charge me. Will I call them again? Well hopefully I'll never ever have a plumbing problem as long as I live. But on the off chance that I do, YES! Tim was seriously nice one phone and his plumber was super nice. Sorry I called you out for no reason! Thanks for your help. read more

Another great experience with The Green Plumber. We just moved in to a new house and are quickly discovering all the quirks of the house, which was built in 1939. My problem this time was relatively minor, my dishwasher wasn't draining properly and an old water filtration system was leaking just a little. Paul called me when he was on his way, showed up right on time and assessed the problems. He quickly fixed the problem with the dishwasher, but the issue with the filtration system was a little more complex. He gave me a couple of options, and was very upfront and clear about the costs and the cost vs benefit for each scenario. read more
