    New water heater up to current code finally
    Camille B.

    The family was using the showers one after the other one morning and we slowly realized that our water was running cold. After checking out the water heater and trying to reset the pilot light a few times only for it to keep going off, we realized we needed some help. Given the fact we have teen girls, we needed help ASAP. It was the day before a holiday so we had someone respond and check things. They couldn't fix it without ordering a part or replacing the whole heater, which was really old anyways, so we decided to think on it and not pay holiday rates. We paid our fee for the day and had them respond the following non holiday weekday. The same plumber came out, he was super friendly and brought an assistant to replace our 40 gallon to a 50 gallon slightly more efficient model than our old one. We were really impressed with the timeliness, friendliness, and ease of using this business for our water heater replacement. Prices were pretty reasonable too. Thank you Plumbing Doc!

    Water heater replacement. Securely strapped
    Tracy K.

    I called Plumbing Doc for a free quote for them to check the leaks in my bathroom sinks, toilets in both bathrooms, stoppers for my bathtub, and the possible leaks in my water heater. I gave their company my house key because I work during the weekdays and they don't open weekends. The plumber told me that my water heater was too old and needed a replacement. He also quoted me a price for the stoppers. He called me after he left and I agreed to those quotes. When I asked him about the bathroom sink leaks, he said he forgot to check and went back to my house. He said there was one leak and that he fixed it. When he came back to replace my water heater and fixed my stoppers, he forgot to check the leaks again. Luckily, he called me while he was there. He said he fixed that leak already and it's no longer leaking. When I came back, to check my bathroom sinks, it was still leaking. Not sure if the plumber really missed it or just did not want to admit that he did not know how to fix it. I did not appreciate that they left their trash in my garage. However, they did a good job with replacing my water heater and fixing the stoppers though. The water heater was securely strapped. Wish they were open on weekends, so I didn't have to take a day off.

    Here's a picture of their handy work.  Good job fellas.

She gave me a rundown of the prices: $225 to dig, $450 to pump, and another $225 if you need chemicals. When the appointment came, the crew of two showed up on time, and they got right to work, digging out my septic tank lid and making hilarious poop puns along the way. They gave me a rundown on how the system worked and gave me tips to ensure it works for years to come. Mike, the owner and father of the two young men who came to dig out the lid, showed up about an hour later with the pump truck and helped them finish the job. I elected to have chemical treatment to help maintain my leech field, and the crew elected to come back the following day so as to let it settle a bit overnight. Mike called me in the morning and let me know when to expect his son to come by to finish the work and collect payment. All in all, Kern County Sewer is a great family owned business. The office staff is polite, and the guys in the field know their crap.

They attempted to charge us for the use of their generator, even though power was already available on the property and we had our own generator. They also dug up and diverter box without our authorization, claiming it was and needed replacement. In addition, they told us that the septic tank lids were deteriorating and needed to be replaced. on top of that, they left the property without pumping the septic and did not give us any information as to when they would come back. Concerned about these recommendations, we hired another septic company for opinion. That company informed us that the lids were in good condition and did not need replacement. AAA septic had already removed original diverter box, a new one had to be installed. A few days later, we received an invoice stating that we had payment due within 30 days but before the 30 day Period Had expired, we received a certified letter stating that a lien was being placed on our property for an amount nearly 3 times higher than the original invoice, with no explanation. At no point did we refuse to pay the bill, nor were we given the full 30 days indicated on the invoice. The company was aware that our property was in escrow and that a lien could create a serious complication. Based on our experience, we found the company's business practices concerning, and would advise others to proceed with caution. I would absolutely not use them again or recommend them. They cost us thousands of dollars more.

Lady was super nice on phone but the guy who showed up will talk your ear off. Fortunately for me, I did all the work before he came to pump the septic, so when he said that he needed to use an auger and then pump our septic, I knew he was lying. He raised the price by $300. I told him that's not what was quoted and in over 20yrs of having a septic I never heard anyone having to use an auger before pumping a septic tank. Rip off, please go somewhere else to save on your pocket book.
