I've called Thomas on short notices for bathtub plumbing issues and sink problems and he has delivered awesome service each time. He is efficient, knowledgeable, reliable, and always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the problems get fixed. He even teaches us how to better maintain the systems as well. Id recommend Thomas to anyone in the SD area! read more

Excellent service - hydrojetting expert and friendly affordable experience. Highly recommend Tommy!

It's SO easy to give Tomo's Plumbing a 5 star rating! Been using him for years and I highly recommend him to everyone. Last Monday at 8:00AM, I had a clogged up kitchen sink (old house in SouthPark) and called Tomo. Within 2 hours Tomo was here and worked away, found some more issues like a broken pipe, etc....he fixed it all rapidly and very professionally. Tomo is such a friendly and honest guy, so reasonable in price, I really do recommend his expertise and services to all that have plumbing needs. Thanks again Tomo, you're the best! He is your neighborhood plumber for life! read more

Update review. I was in a pinch and needed a hero instead got big 0. Didn't even respond. Don't waste your time.

We are fixing up a vacant condo to sell, and there were a few plumbing issues that needed to be taken care of before we put it on the market. Tomo replaced an older toilet with a modern high efficiency model. This is a very small bathroom without a lot of room to maneuver, and the floor is tiled with large travertine tiles. Tomo got the job done without any damage to the tiles and without a gap between the toilet and the tile. He also fixed some issues with the water supply lines in the kitchen. Tomo was extremely easy to work with, and the price for the work was very reasonable. read more

Called Tomo for a clogged kitchen sink and he was able to come that morning and fix it! Highly recommend!

We cannot thank Tomo enough for his (and his contractor's work). We have had a repeat problem with out toilets and plumbing. After having paid other people, and still having a problem, we found Tomo's Plumbing. We had a difficult problem which ended up to be something major, and required digging six feet down in our front yard to access the mail line, here in the east Chula Vista area. It sounded like a nightmare which would take days and lots of money. We have Tomo to thank for fixing our problem in the fastest, timely manner possible. Excellent service, courteous, trustworthy, and reliable. His work and service is an A+. Good, reliable, trustworthy (and great priced) plumbers (and mechanics!) are very hard to come by now. Now that we know of Tomo, my mom especially can rest assured that in the event we ever have another major problem, Tomo will help us out ASAP! Thanks again! Highly recommended! read more

I picked Tomo based on reviews, I must agree; he's great. Efficient, reasonable, good dude. He had to take out a 12 inch square in my wall. He found the problem instantly, fixed it and gave me thenumber of a guy to fix the dry wall. Fabulous. read more

My water heater started leaking (oh Man!) I called Tom. He gave me a price over the phone. He came out the next afternoon. He saw, he removed, he Installed a new water heater for me. He honored his quote!!! All is good. I'm happy and so far the water heater works just fine. Thank you Tom. The only reason that I don't have 5 stars is that he didn't really smile much. He just came, worked. That's excellent and all but I think that a smile with the service makes a better customer experience. **What do you think? Would you just like the work done right, quick and totally business like, or do you need to have the service person give a warm smile once in a while? read more

I've had an issue with my kitchen sink for years and I haven't dealt with it because I haven't wanted to deal with the hassle of a plumber. Well thank you Tomo's, you really can't ask for more from a Plumber, Tom: 1. Answered the phone when I called on a Saturday. 2. Provided reasonable and fair quote (and I checked with 3 other plumbers). 3. Showed up when he said he would. 4. Did the job he said he would do. 5. Charged what he said he'd charge. 6. Now my sink works perfectly. If only all transactions were this easy! I'd recommend Tomo's Plumbing to anybody. read more

Just called to ask for help. He was busy, but knew that my prob was urgent. So instead of putting me off or delaying, he gave me the number of a guy who could help. That's putting the customer first over a sale, and I really appreciate it. So I don't know how the work is, but I know this - someone that's willing to give it away is likely to be trustworthy. I'll take that any day. read more

Had a drain to be cleared. Scheduled with him for Saturday. On Saturday, he texted me and stated that he wouldn't be able to come over. Monday, he texted that he could see me at 4:45 p.m on Tuesday. Around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, he texted me that he couldn't come, and postponed for Wednesday. I then asked if I could get a discount for being patient with him. He replied, "Not really. I don't come down to south after 2 pm as a rule because I'm going to get caugh in traffic. My hours are 7-4, usually after 4:30, I charge overtime, and the drain would cost more. I ended up cancelling the Service call. What I learned from this is, if you want service in South County, do not schedule after 2 p.m. read more

Of course, Thanksgiving day, our kitchen sink decides it's going to back up and not drain. Promptly, the morning after the holiday, Tom answered our prayers. Here walks in a handsome, Irishman, accent and all, fully smiling, and thrilled to be of help. He arrived immediately within the two hour promised time frame, and absolutely over delivered --with no hidden costs or secret financially gained agendas. Please don't bother calling any of those Jumbo local companies. They'll take ya for all you've got. Besides, someone's gotta pay for all those commercials with the catchy jingles. Not, I! Call Tom. He's the guy! read more

Tomo is definitely one of those guys that does what he needs to do to get the job done! I'm definitely glad that Yelp pulled through for me once again. My issue was that I thought I could swap out the shower cartridge myself and had bought all the necessary hardware to do so. I'm pretty handy at most DIY projects and this seemed like an easy one until I pulled the entire core of the cartridge out without the outer shell. At this point I'm pretty much SOL. Tomo came to my rescue with a simple box of magic tools to get the job done. The outer shell of the cartridge was bonded to the piping as the hard water lime built up through out the years. He worked his magic for about 15 minutes and I faintly hear a "YES!!!" Then it was all up and up from that point out. This guy knows exactly what he's doing and does it very well with a smile on top. I am very pleased with the work and will be a long time customer. Very professional, efficient, and has VERY competitive rates! I highly recommend him to anyone! BTW, I called him around 8 pm and he was at my door within 15 minutes. Thank you Plumbing GODs, this is one of the good apples! read more

A rare professional! Someone who truly warrants a 5 star review. Prompt (he arrived within 20 minutes of my call) polite, respectful (asked if I wanted him to remove his shoes) and very reasonably priced for the quality of service. I can't imagine you'll ever call another plumber again. read more

Add 5 more stars to this guy's arsenal. Seriously. Nice guy. Honest. Knows his stuff. Cleans up as he goes. I'd give more stars if I could. Easily. Thank you very much! read more

Tom is efficient, knowledgeable, really fair and reliable. We are currently calling him back for another LARGE job because of his wonderful service on a smaller job (that was quoted by another company at a MUCH higher cost, we LIKE honesty!) We highly recommend Tomo's for your plumbing needs. Absolutely. read more

Had Tomo's come out on 1/24/14. It was a tad of a hassle scheduling the appointment but I could not have asked for better results. The Good: On time, did more listening than talking (no selling), quiet, professional, knowledgeable, and I was VERY pleased with the work. The Bad: Had to reschedule a couple of times but he was upfront and honest about availability so I would not hold that against him. If you need a good plumber, he's the guy. I give good reviews where they are deserved and Tomo's earned theirs. read more

Execellent communication. No excuses! Straight to the point. Highly recommended for your plumbing needs. Very competitive priced!

Tomo was the first to respond to our calls for help when we woke up to a badly leaking water heater. He was out to the house quickly and, long story short, everything was fixed by mid afternoon. Tomo is a personable and professional guy. He's got competitive prices (we checked) and was very helpful with information about what he was doing and how we might avoid the same problem in the future. I will call Tomo again when the need arises and would not hesitate to recommend him to a friend. -John read more

The good: Tomo is as good as it gets. I've been though a lot of plumbers in my 30 years in my old house. Tomo, I can recommend without reservations. On time, cheery, knowledgeable, competent, quick to respond no matter the hour and reasonably priced. What more could you ask? The bad: When you have a reputation like he has, everybody wants you and he is only one man so he can only do so much. There are only 24 hours in the day (Earth day that is). There are three solutions to this problem A) you can wait for him (not always possible eh?), II) he can, and does, recommend someone he trusts, when he's too busy and you just can't wait or 3) he can hire more staff but as anybody in business knows, your most valuable asset is your reputation and that's just too risky to hand to a new hire when you're too busy to monitor them, train them or repair their mess ups. He is worth waiting for! read more

I came home from work to find a completely clogged and backed up toilet. I groaned and prepared myself to pay after-hours prices for a plumber to come fix it late in the evening. I yelped for plumbers, and decided on Tomo's. He showed up within 20 minutes, was super helpful and friendly and diagnosed and fixed my toilet. I don't know about other prices out there, but it seemed pretty darn reasonable to me. I will definitely be calling him when my neighbors decide to flush action figures down the toilet again. His card says he is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Call this guy. He's great. read more

Tomo is brilliant, super quick service and reliable. Definitely 5 stars and I will always call on him for any plumbing needs. Called him early morning, came out same day and sorted the problem quickly and efficiently. Love ya work Tomo!!! Thank you mate!!! read more

We made appointment with Tomo but asked us an hour late. We waited his coming but nobody showed up. Tried another appointment but he never call us again. He has great review score here but he would not get our business. read more

Quick and painless fix of my kitchen sink, came within 1 hour of calling and even gave me some tips on a few other problems I was having. I'll be calling again if I have any plumbing needs (though hopefully I won't). read more

I based my decision to use Tomo's on the Yelp reviews here. I have to say, everyone on here is right: Tom definitely lives up to his reputation. INSTANT service, polite, expedient, and the problem was pretty much a no-brainer that I could fix myself...but he was able to identify the problem whereas I couldn't.. He didn't try to gouge me or convince me to give him the really simple job, has a very fair service call fee, and even gave me some good advice. DECISION MADE: I'll be hiring Tom to renovate the plumbing in my laundry room this winter. A true professional with integrity....what a breath of fresh air in today's world.....and he ain't hard on the eyes either :-) read more

There is a reason that Tomo has so many 5 star reviews, he DESERVES it! Not only is he super nice and accommodating, but he does good work, charges a reasonable price, and gives you a 1 hour window (not 4 hours like some places) for arrival time. Granted he was a wee bit late, but he is worth waiting for. He may be very busy, but he managed to fit me in within a few days. He is my go to guy for plumbing problems. Thanks Tom! read more

Tomo sorted out my garbage disposal when I figured that we would have to replace it. That saved us a lot of money. He also told us how to solve the issue by telling us what tools we'd need and what we'd need to do it if the issue occurs again. Fantastic! read more

Tomo is the best! We've used him for 3 jobs now. From emergency drain repair to installing a tankless water heater and running new gas/water lines. He is very courteous, knowledgeable and helpful as well as prompt. The work he does is throrough and he leaves everything as clean as he finds it. read more

We have been turning to Tomo for all our plumbing issues, large and small since mid 2012. The fact that we still call him speaks to the level of confidence we have in his professionalism and his honesty. Early on we had a blocked drain and called him. He said he could fix it, but call these other guys who specialize in that, because they are faster and cheaper than me. That's doing what's best for the customer. He always has solutions for even tricky problems. Diagnosing what's wrong, and quickly finding a solution is one of his greatest strengths. And if the issue needs immediate attention, he's there. Over many decades, we have dealt with many tradespeople, plumbers, electricians, painters, etc. from large companies to single man operations. In that long list of people, Tomo has earned the number one spot. Watching someone of this competence work is a pleasure, even at plumber rates. read more

We use Tomo for our units in San Diego, which is an older building and he is great! Here's some reasons he gets 5 stars: 1. he's honest 2. responsive 3. if he can't do it/busy, Tomo didn't just recommend someone else, he sent us another plumber! who does that :) 4. he always shows up when he says he will (amazing in and of itself) 5. he does great work There's more, but that's good enough to know he's the best plumber we've used for our properties. read more

Tomo is the best! Hands down. Treats his customers right and does solid work. My house's old plumbing is constantly needing fixes and Tomo always saves the day! I wish everyone was as reliable and honest in their trade as him!! read more

I was worried about dealing with a plumber. I hate dealing with issues I have no clue about. I checked out Yelp and saw Tomo's reviews and called. As a single mom I was freaking out on how much this was going to run me.He came out took a look at my garbage disposal, toilet and shower assesed the problems and gave me a quote. It was more than fair. One of the jobs was a simple fix and he didn't take advantage of me and try to gauge me for it.He returned the next day(after I got off work at 6:30pm)and did the rest of the work. He was fast and efficient. I will always call him for any plumbing problems. read more

honest and able. I'll be using tomo from here on out. a good fair plumber is hard to get. the negative reviews stem from the same reason. this guy's in high demand. read more

Here's what Tomo didn't do for me: They didn't sell me a sentiment trap that I didn't need. They didn't install a garbage disposal that wouldn't have worked in the space under my sink. And when they couldn't clear my clog they referred me to someone who can and didn't charge me. A plumber you can trust. read more

Tom was great! I work for a live theatre, and we needed someone to take care of a giant leak ASAP, since we had to shut off water to the whole building. He had a job coming up, but squeezed us in just for a quote. He was out to us in less than 1/2 hour, and he diagnosed things pretty quickly. He had to go his other appointment, but was back within an hour with the tools he needed for our job. He did great work while also juggling two separate clients, and I think that speaks pretty well for his work ethics. Tom was friendly, explained things thoroughly, and didn't gouge us on the price at all. Truly professional! read more

Idk what Deluna is talking about, I have had 3 problems with my new home already and Tomo's plumbing has come up big for me everytime. Excellent service and doesn't overcharge, was having a housewarming party and a huge plumbing problem happened, I called and he came to the rescue within the hour. Would recommend him to anyone! Has also helped my father out with his plumbing problem and my father had no complaints. read more

Tomo is a great plumber, is reasonably priced, and is honest. I have called him multiple times for help with plumbing issues at my mission valley condo. After a few issues with my garbage disposal I decided maybe it was best to buy and install a new one. Tomo went over to take a look and told me the disposal was fine, but the tenants were putting weird food down the sink which was causing the issues. He took the time to educate my tenants on what not to put down the sink, and told me I didn't need to install a new disposal. Since he could have earned more money by installing the new disposal, I was very impressed and thankful for his honesty. Good man. I would highly recommend him. read more

Tomo is an amazing Plummer. He saved the day and fixed our Drain at the salon. He is reliable, quick, professional and did a great job. I would defiantly recommend him to anyone. read more

So apparently word has gotten out that Tomo is awesome.. I hired him for a couple jobs last year when we bought our house and I thought I had found our "go-to" plumber. He was professional, honest, reasonable, and efficient. He didn't nickel and dime for travel time either. What else could a customer ask for? Well... the last time I called Tomo for help a couple months ago he referred me to another plumber. I respect that he was super busy and it was an easy job so I was okay with it. I was hopeful he would still be my go-to guy for other projects. Then last week I called him to inquire about modifying our washer dryer hookups.. he did not answer his phone AND his voicemail was full so I couldn't leave a message. He didn't respond to a text message i tried to send either. Tomo needs to learn how to manage his increase in business or else he will lose his loyal customers. We were hoping to hire him on for a bathroom remodel but will have to look elsewhere. He is a good plumber but not turning out to be the best businessman. Bummer! On the positive side I am learning a lot more about plumbing and doing a lot more on my own since we haven't had good luck finding a reliable plumber. read more
