I had an issue with my tankless water heater with the burners in the unit. VMax was able to send some workers the next day to check the unit. Although there was some issues with the manufacturer and their unit, VMax was able to rectify the issue and restore my water heater. The workers did a great job getting the water heater to work again. VMax's cost was very reasonable! read more

Had broken tankless water heater. They came out and gave diagnosis. Was going to be pricy so opted to just replace whole thing. They are good. Guy took two hours to do the whole thing. Replaced lines and tested Added filter system to help with hard water. Good workmanship. Will keep using read more

Ernesto and Steve were so responsive and helpful! We had a dripping outside spigot that was always more of an annoyance than it was a big problem. We put a bucket under the drip and used the water for plants. It never amounted to more than one bucket a day for months. But recently the drip got a bit bigger . . . the daily bucket started to overflow. Ernesto came out immediately to assess the issue and patiently explained what needed to be done to fix the problem. He also quoted a very reasonable price. A day and time that worked around my schedule was set and confirmed with Steve. Marlon and Eric showed up on time with big smiles. Marlon did a great and efficient job fixing the pipe and spigot. It looks great and works like a dream. It is so difficult to find a good plumber. I was referred to Ernesto by a friend, and I've now recommended him to my friends. Thank you, V-Max! read more

Great customer service and reasonable pricing. No surcharge on weekends. They came out on Sunday and fixed our dishwasher vent lines. Plus while here they fixed flow for our kitchen faucet. We have had other plumbers try to fix our kitchen faucet but nobody could do it except V-Max Plumbing. Fast service and they showed up when I asked them to. They also did hydraflush of our sewer drain lines and put camera down drain showing it was clear. Highly recommend this company. read more

Clint V. Our 1946 plumbing is old and a pain in the butt! V-Max came out and not only got our kitchen sink line snaked and running free but they replaced the old funky piping and the cheap plastic connection to the sink drain! And all for reasonable price. Thanks V-max! read more

Had originally reached out to another company who kept pushing our appointment back, after two days I decided to reach out to V-Max. They showed up within an hour and had the job done. Price was great and workers were kind. Just bought a house and they will be who we call each time. Thanks again read more

I must say I was very pleased with the work done outside in my backyard. I had broken a pipe and called Ernesto, who showed up at my house same day as it was an emergency, as I didnt have any water. The job was completed within several hours as promised and they even cleaned up very nicely afterwards. Definitely recommend this plumbing service as your first choice. 5 stars. read more

Highly responsive and reliable. Communicated when they were on their way, showed up on time, did a great job and charged a fair price. Couldn't ask for more. read more

To express how fortunate I feel to have stumbled across this plumbing service would be an understatement. Ernesto and his team were honest, on time, and responsive. Other services were pushing for services that would have cost me an arm and a leg, but Ernesto was honest, explained the process and gave me an HONEST opinion. I keep using the word honest because I really felt like he was trying to help instead of upsell me a service I did not need. In the end, he obviously got the job done. His number has been permanently saved on my phone for any future jobs needed! read more

Had them correct an improperly installed washer/dryer at my condo. They were able to come out for a same day quote and started working the following day. They were on time, prepared and sent before and after photos to document their work. They also completed the work in the estimated time frame and cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend and will definitely use again. read more

Called Ernesto when my parents' dishwasher was leaking and he was able to quickly diagnose the problems over the phone and send his technician out for repair. He was kind enough to offer my parents a senior discount. This is actually my fourth time using V max since we're very happy with the quick response for repair and professionalism. Thank you!! read more

V-Max Plumbing - Spacers in the bathroom sink caused the slow drain - Plumbing Near Me - Seal Beach, California

The pipe connecting to our toilet broke on a Sunday and I was so stressed because I care for an elderly parent who needs to use that bathroom at night as they can't get downstairs. V-Max responded immediately and understood my emergency needs and a plumber came quickly to fix it. What I really like about this company is their communication style. I was treated with understanding and the plumber who came was knowledgable and friendly. They assessed the problem and gave me a detailed list of what they will do with pricing up front so there's no communication issues. I had a follow up email with the details listed of what work was done. read more

I noticed most reviewers for VMax had minor or medium jobs, but my review will be on a major work done on my home. I had all the old galvanized piping replaced with copper and all the drainage pipes replaced with the latest drains. I also went from a traditional tank water heater to a tank less water heater and I also did a full remodel on my bathroom. Tore the bathroom down to the studs, floor wall and everything. I used Vmax to do all of this work. If Ernesto doesn't specialize in some job you need done, he knows how to connect you to who can do it. Ernesto is the owner and he showed up to my home the first day on time. His price was also reasonable. His crew worked pretty hard on my home. They were very consistent with the time. There were some minor issues after the initial work being done, but Vmax made themselves available 24/7 and came back with no additional charges to complete the work, ensuring it is done right. Too many times i hear of contractors once they are done, they are hard to get a hold of afterwards. Ernesto is passionate about serving his customers and is available 24/7 to answer any questions or fix your problem. I highly recommend Vmax for those who want want a trusted plumber at a reasonable price. read more

In our house, plumbing issues seem to happen right before a holiday weekend. I made a service call to address a clogged kitchen drain and an old leaky pipe under the sink. They immediately set up an appt the next morning, came in with a professional, competent, and efficient crew and quickly solved all issues. Ernesto even went above and beyond to address a minor water pressure concern. They were knowledgeable and their fees were fair. I'll be keeping their business card for the future issues. read more

We had a very pleasant experience with V-Max! Not only did they fix our plumbing issues, they were able to describe what exactly what the issues were. They did a great job cleaning up afterwards leaving us stress-free! Overall they were professional, quick, and affordable. read more

We recently had a gas leak and had been without gas unable to shower or cook. Who knew plumbers took care of gas leaks? Ernesto was super understanding and cleared his schedule to come to our house. He even worked late at 10PM to give us a quote. Great customer service! read more

Clearly they do not value the time of their customers. I had an appointment scheduled for a large window of time 11-1pm. The technician never showed up. I waited at work until 9:30pm (!!) and did not get regular updates until I finally had to give up and go eat. We rescheduled another appointment for today at 2pm after wasting time waiting yesterday. He did not give a range of time, just 2pm. After 20 min past the appt, I asked when to expect him, and he said it will take another 40 minutes. After yesterday's experience, who knows if he would actually show up. I decided to try them out due to their positive yelp reviews, however I am very very disappointed by their not keeping appointments and the lack of communication. I would be very concerned about choosing them unless you have plenty of time to waste. read more

Ernesto is a pro. Super kind and communicative. He fixed our issues quickly and was transparent on his work and the costs.

Excellent, professional and very good customer service. Will recommend and call them again. I ws told they are also a general contractor. read more

This review is long overdue. Years ago, one of our HOA board members was visiting his parents at a nearby condo. He met Ernesto and his team as they were working on plumbing issues at the building and noticed the quality of their workmanship. We called Ernesto to give him a try as we needed reliable plumbing vendors that were up to date with their equipment and technology as well getting the jobs done right. Since then, we have called Ernesto to replace sections in our main lines in our building and continue to work with him as one of our top plumbing vendors which is a testimony of his company. He is honest, professional, an expert in his field and knows exactly what is needed to do the job, very reliable and reasonably priced. I would definitely use him for my home plumbing needs. read more

My water heater conked out on Saturday afternoon. I called Ernesto, and he was at my home within hours. He gave me an estimate for the work that needed to be done. He also connected a portable water heater so I would have hot water until he came back on Monday to make the repairs. His technician, Jonathan Garcia, was there as scheduled first thing Monday morning and did a great job. He ran my husband through the procedure to re-light the pilot in case it ever went out. Ernesto also came by to make sure that everything was working properly and that we were happy. We have some additional plumbing work that needs to get done so we made arrangements to have Ernesto return. read more

Woke up to a nightmare pipe leak. Flooded closet with saturated carpet seeping into our hardwood floors. My family and I first thought it was our water heater but then questioned it after the flooded closet. I found Ernesto on Yelp and gave them a call. Not even an hour later he was here assessing our nightmare. Not only was he super kind, professional and a genuine person, he explained everything he was doing and even taught me certain things to know if a leak leak emergency ever happened again (god forbid).He was efficient and thorough. He also gave his professional opinions about future needs without me feeling like he was trying to sell me something or urgency to brake my bank that is already in a bind. He was also fair with pricing and shared future options for work that would be costly in order for my family to save up but also get the job done correctly/up to code. My dad was always the one to do the plumbing work but now that's not an option he has always been weary of plumbing services ripping people off. My dad even said "we found our life long plumber"..I know this may not mean alot to anyone reading this but let me tell you, for him to say that, says a lot. I recommend this family owned and operated business to anyone. No regrets and Ernesto is leaving a house that what was a stressed family, to feeling like a weight was lifted off our shoulders. He also gave us a contact for someone he works with, to come out to assess a claim for possible home owner insurance compensation. He has been nothing short of amazing. Thank you Ernesto, your work is admirable and we are grateful of your experience and wonderful business ethic. read more

i live in a mobile home, and some plumbers don't want to work on them. However, Ernesto and his team had no problems with it. It was an emergency and they showed up when they said they would and took care of the problem. They were respectful and friendly. I would use them again. read more

Vmax plumbing is a family owned business who I've trusted both my business and home plumbing to for years now. They do great work are dependable, practical & on time, and they don't charge me an arm and a leg. read more

This is my first time using V-Max. Feed back is very important to any business and it's employees. Today Ernesto came to my house to unclog a drain. I'm a stickler for the little things when people show up for a service call. Did they call ahead. Are they on time. Do they introduce themselves and present he or she in a respectful manner. Do they show respect for the home. Wipe their feet before entry. Do they clean up any messes made during the service. Ernesto did all of these things and more. I was very impressed with him. He was very polite and informative. He worked quickly and cleaned up the tub when he was done. He explained the issue and what can be done to prevent it in the future. If you like people who have pride and show it in their work. Then Ernesto with V-Max would be a good choice. Thank you, Darren read more
