Phil was awesome! Because of his great job in installing the Pelican filtration/softener system, I hired him to do other plumbing jobs. His knowledge, skill, reasonable pricing, and great attitude helped me find a new plumber for the future too! I will be calling him anytime I need a plumber for my house! read more

I spoke with countless other plumbers to install my whole home filtration/softener system. Fortunately, just before I was about to give up, I found Phil. I knew in the first 30 seconds of speaking to him that I found the right person. Phil listens to your needs, gives you straight/simple answers, does what he says he's going to do and when he's going to do it. He patiently answered all my questions, helping me better understand my options before I make the final decision. He also tried to save me money at every turn which I really appreciate. It's rare to find a good human who does great work and values fairness more than trying to squeeze as much $$ out of every customer. I'm going to use Phil for all my future plumbing needs and if you're reading this, I think you should too. read more

Best plumber ever... I had recently purchased a Pelican whole home water filtration system with UV (PC-1000), and after putting off doing the installation myself, I called Phillip Davidson at X-Spurt Plumbing, and I'm so glad I did. Phil did an amazing job installing the system, way better than I could have envisioned... he's super neat and meticulous, and used the space we had so wisely, that it's almost like it's not there (see attached pics). I like his sense of organization and flow, using lots of right angles, which appeals to me, and he did the whole job in just a few hours. My hat's off to Phil, and I highly recommend him if you're considering an honest, well organized and efficient local plumber! read more

I contacted X-Spurt to have them install a Pelican whole house water filtration system. They were my second choice after one of of the big boys quoted me what seemed like a stupid-high price. Phil called me back within 10 minutes of my voicemail; set up a time for just a couple of days hence; showed up, and installed the tank with no muss or fuss. Also, charged me a fair price. THEN, he took at look at my newly installed tankless hot water heater and made an adjustment that will speed up the delivery of hot water by a factor of 10x. Can't say enough about Phil! read more

Before Thanksgiving I discovered a leak in my kitchen that was ruining the wood floor. I called Phil, who I'd used twice before. He asked for me to text him pictures. I did. He did not respond. I twice sent him more messages. Ultimately I found another plumber. I ran into him at a friend's house last week; he all but called me a liar about his unanswered messages. I told him not to worry I would NEVER call him again. If possible I'd give him a minus star for arrogance and rudeness read more

We were referred to X-Spurt Plumbing through pelican water systems. We are so pleased with Phils work.

He is very professional and takes time to explain everything. His workmanship is outstanding, fast and very thorough. If you are looking for a life time plumber look no further. We found ours with X-Spurt Plumbing. Thanks again Phil! read more

Philip and Omar have done a great job installing my pelican water filtration and softener system. They helped me with flushing my water heater expansion tank and tray as well. Oh also my bathroom faucet. Everything looks great and they didn't leave any trash behind them. Pricing was very fair. I have already recommended them to my friend who is looking to get the same system. read more

Got to love the name of this company, and the owner...Phillip. Phillip is all about quality. His contacts before my appointment were professional and informative. Phillip arrived exactly on time and installed my water filtration system. He did a beautiful job, disconnected my existing salt based system and installed the new system, leaving a clean and updated process that I'm thrilled to have. This guy is great! So happy I shopped around before going with another provider. read more

Called Phil Davison, owner, to repair a broken electric water heater. After trying a few troubleshooting tips to diagnose the lack of heat & source of water leak over the phone, determined a replacement was needed. Scheduled appointment for next day. Was advised that there was one call before me. Next day, Phil called to say he was running late due to the early call, and would keep me updated. As the day went on, he called to keep me informed. Well it got to afternoon, and I was worried he might not make it. Around 4:00pm Phil called to say he was done with the other job and was picking up the replacement heater. Asked if he could work late, or if I wanted to be the first appointment the next morning. Said I wanted hot water. Phil arrived about 5:30pm and worked past 8:00pm. He had to remove part of the door jam in the water tank closet to be able to bring in the slightly larger energy efficient tank. He did a nice job so it could be put back easily. When he was done, Phil cleaned up everything, leaving no sign he was even there. Thought his price was very reasonable, considering another plumber that did my neighbors heater charged almost double (but it was a 70-gallon gas vs my 40-gallon electric). read more

After hiring another company, that came out and was ready to jack hammer the kitchen floor to fix a gas leak. Phil came out and took care of the job the way it was supposed to be done, from the outside of the house!!! Very knowledgeable and helpful. SAVED MY BEHIND AND LOTS OF MONEY!!!! read more

Phil Davison is a good, honest, fair man, and he solved a tough problem for us. With our old tankless water heater, we were waiting upwards of two minutes for hot water to arrive on the other side of the house. Phil went above and beyond our expectations by taking care of doing a lot research and legwork, and we worked with him to arrive ultimately at a solution with which we were comfortable. He didn't charge us until we were happy with the end result: we now have quick, endless heat at our faucets. We imagine that a lot of plumbers would have given up and gone with a tank solution. Phil, however, is interested in getting the current technology to work. We highly recommend his services. read more

Installed my Pelican water treatment system. Excellent price, extensive prior experience, went the extra mile to correct minor issues with the pre-existing water supply which wasn't necessary to do the job. No extra charge. read more

I recently decided to purchase a water treatment system to address the nasty effects of San Diego's hard water on my home. After considering two different systems which use different methods of treating the effects of hard water, I decided to purchase a whole-home water treatment system manufactured by Pelican Water Systems. The manufacturer provided me with the names of 3 plumbers in my area that install their product, one of which was Phil of X-Spurt Plumbing. Phil was my first & only call. Phil answered my questions about the effectiveness of the product I was considering and I decided to purchase the system from Phil after speaking with him on the phone for about 10 minutes. I was comfortable from my brief discussion with Phil that he had considered the various products in the market to treat hard water and believed this product to be a suitable solution for San Diego's hard water. Three days after originally speaking with Phil the system was installed in about 3 hours. Not only is Phil's workmanship first-rate, but his methods & materials used for the installation are consistent with a professional who's adopted the latest plumbing techniques. Phil's plumbing abilities are very evident by the way he made the entire installation look so incredibly easy. My respect for Phil's workmanship and "no-nonsense" way of doing business will result in my automatically calling Phil the next time I have any plumbing-related task, large or small. As far as the water treatment system itself, I waited two weeks since installation was completed before writing this review so that I could also share my observations related to the performance of the system. Now that second week with the Pelican water system in use has passed, any skepticism I had has been completely extinguished. One of the most visible signs that the system is providing the desired end-result is that water splashed (and, on occasion, left to dry) on the kitchen counter or bathroom vanity is no longer leaving difficult-to-remove lime scale on those surfaces. I can safely say that my goal of addressing the effects of San Diego's hard water on my home's water heater, appliances, faucets, fixtures and counter tops has been fully satisfied. I like the fact that this system doesn't add sodium to the water as a by-product of the softening process. An added benefit of the system is that the carbon filter component of this system substantially removes many objectionable chemicals from the San Diego municipal water, not the least of which is chlorine. Just as important as the results delivered by the Pelican water treatment system, I've been fortunate to discover Phil, who I won't hesitate to call in the future when plumbing needs arise. Overall, the experience of working with Phil of X-Spurt plumbing not only met, but easily exceeded my expectations. read more

Phil is the best. Our water heater needed to be replaced and Phil installed a new water heater and did a fantastic job. He took the time to install an overflow tank to get the best performance. He definitely went the extra mile. Definitely give Phil a call if you want a reliable and honest contractor to do your plumbing work. read more

X-Spurt Plumbing (Phil) did all the plumbing on my entire house remodel. 5+ bathrooms, many sinks, speciality tubs, hot water recirculator, and of course a whole house water filtration system. His bid was far less then the other bids. He was professional, and honest. Since then I've had a couple issues with different things, i.e., water temp, pressure, nothing that was his fault just typical new build stuff. He always called me back in a timely manner and quickly addressed anything that needed tweaking. Then disaster happened! It turned out that the people that plastered my new pool used the sewer clean out to wash the excess plaster away, I saw them doing it, a big plaster hose along with a water hose to wash the plaster down. I had no idea it was illegal. After a few weeks the whole house starting backing up as the plaster had hardened in the pipes. Phil had to snake and search the pipes exhaustively with a camera to find some of the hardened plaster, it was between my house and the street. He cut out and replaced that portion of the sewer pipe, but he also thought there was a lot more in other parts of the sewer pipes. He handled everything from contacting the pool plasterer, showing him the hardened plaster from the pipe he had cut out, to getting someone out here that actually shaves the inside of the pipes. Since it had been done illegally the pool plasterer paid for all the repairs. But without Phil, I'd be living a nightmare of my whole house backing up when a toilet was flushed or we showered. THANK YOU PHIL!! The Pelican water filtration system I can't say enough about. From being able to drink from any tap in the house and to wash and shower with water that doesn't have that awful chlorine smell. I recommend a water filtration system and Phil to everyone! Thanks again. read more

Phil redid all of our plumbing for a custom master walk in shower, 3 toilets, new sinks, shower tub, etc. The previous plumbing work done by a another contractor was poorly done, and Phil brought it all up to code and did a great job. He's great to work with, priced everything fairly compared to other bids, and was incredibly knowledgable. We would highly recommend him for any job, and will call him in a heartbeat for any future plumbing needs. read more

Phil was here and he was quick and did a great job installing my Pelican filter/softener combo. We had a small leak and he was quick returning next day and fixing the issue. Highly recommend. read more
