After getting three quotes regarding a drain line slab leak under the kitchen floor. I went with Almco , as I had used them in the past and their pricing was reasonable section of the wall had to be cut out in order to tie everything into all the . When the time came to close up the I noticed a leak. I immediately contacted Vlad, who is the owner of Almco . He took some videos of the problem, went back to his office and within a short time, I had a call to schedule a technician to come out and correct the problem the same day. who was waiting for me in his truck when I arrived for our 2 PM appointment. Ryan was professional, courteous, knew what he was doing, and took care of the problem. He even gave me some advice on some other things I could do that I had questions regarding. Hats. off to Vlad for taking care of the situation the same day. read more

Great experience at a great price! Dom Dominoski, the technician that performed the work, was professional, knowledgeable, friendly, and very informative. I was given an arrival time between 8:00am to 10:00am, and Dom arrived exactly at 8:00am per the advance text message. One of the best contractors I have worked with ever. Dom/Almco is my new plumber of choice. Highly recommended. read more

Professional and high-integrity! We hired Almco for pipe bursting to replace our ancient cast iron sewer line. The price was reasonable, the experience fantastic. More below. The consultation was thorough and educational. Vlad and Dean provided many resources to educate us, including YouTube videos Vlad made of various options. One vid even showed a pipe bursting job with some hiccups, I liked that transparency. We went with Almco's pipe bursting. Their price was quite reasonable compared to other quotes we got. During the job, the unexpected happened. The burster got stuck twice. Once about halfway through due to fence footings, then a section of pipe further down the line collapsed at a 45 degree turn. Due to this, the Almco team ended up having to trench about 30 of the 80 ft. This doubled their work from 3 to 6 days. However, Dean took full ownership of this and Almco did not charge us a cent more. They also set up temporary sewer solution so that we could use plumbing while our sewer line was broken. While the delays created inconvenience, we were very impressed by their integrity. The final thing is communications and tidiness. It wasn't like after the sale, Dean disappeared. He stopped by several times during the work to check in and give us updates. He was always reachable by phone when we had questions. The 3 workers who did the work were very polite and communicative. They gave us updates at the start and end of each day, did their work neatly, and were always positive and never complained about the extra work. After digging up much of our garden, they restored it to excellent, almost mint condition when done (see during & after photos). Thank you, guys! It is hard these days to find tradespeople who are reliable, responsive and stand by their work. Almco went the extra mile for us. I'm glad we found them and will sing their praises to everyone I know! read more

We had a sewer backup on a Sunday afternoon. I left a phone message at Almco regarding the problem. Ryan was at my door at 8AM Monday morning! It turned out to be a stubborn clog but thanks to Ryan and Edgar we had the main problem cleared by 2PM. Their professionalism and attention to detail was exemplary. The next morning Levi arrived to do a follow up inspection with video and make suggestions on how to prevent additional problems. Unfortunately we discovered that work done by SDG&E had collapsed the sewer lead into the city sewer a week earlier but they are denying responsibility. Levi is helping me problem solve this situation and come up with the best solution. This is the degree of professionalism that is above and beyond the initial problem and a reflection on how well this company is run. read more

I'm a real estate broker needing a rapidly arranged sewer line inspection and assessment. Less than 24 hours after I called ALMCO, Levi was on site getting done exactly the job done precisely as I needed it. He provided me with more information than I anticipated, some of which may prove to be vital. He provided me an easy to understand cost estimate for the work needed within 1 hour. The price he quoted is reasonable and I have confidence that ALMCO will get it done correctly. I couldn't be happier. Thanks Levi! read more

Great experience overall. They were quick to respond and provided a very fair, competitive bid. Ryan was an excellent technician professional, knowledgeable, and efficient. Everything was handled smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend! And they have been out to our property now several times. read more

Vlad genuinely provided great customer service and above and beyond education for someone not familiar with plumbing whatsoever. He broke everything down and reinforced the value of actions to be taken. The overall process from start to presentation of facts were extremely easy to follow. He even shared the video and diagrams for what was to follow. I have yet to decide to move forward, however, based on my current experience with Almco makes it difficult to say the least. Thank you Vlad for providing much value and support. read more

I give Levi more than 5 stars! He went out of his way to locate the nature of my sewer pipe leak- he used his experience and his great skills to find it- he takes his job seriously. I'm so glad they sent Levi out and that I met him. Almco has a new customer in me. And I'm a general contractor- that's why I'm ever more happy that I met Levi. It's hard to find contractors that you can like and trust. Levi is an awesome dude. Reading my own review, it almost sounds like BS, lol. But it isn't. I was in a bad spot with my sewer problem and Levi located the problem, and found the solution, it just makes me very happy! John Farrell San Diego read more

I've had great service from Almco from start to finish. Dean is knowledgable and quick to get your estimates done. He also came out when work started to make sure the teams were on the same page. My technicians were wonderful and considerate, especially Nikolai. They didn't leave until the job was done and each night we had full use of drains/water. I plan to use them for another job. Highly reccomend. read more

We needed to have an old faucet removed and a new one installed. Vlad, with Alco plumbing was here when the company told us he would be. He looked over the job, gave us a quote, and quickly completed the installation of the new faucet. Vlad was very professional. The only reason for four stars instead of five is that a very straightforward installation cost over $300. read more

The plumber, Ryan, quickly and professionally diagnosed the issue and follow up steps. Highly recommend!!!

Vlad and his crew are superb. They were hired to complete a whole house replacement of my 95 Year old cast iron sewer line. This was a three day job completed on time for the agreed upon contract amount. They showed up on time every morning. Kept me appraised of all the progress. After the completed pipe installation, The walls were patched using a multilayer application to ensure a smooth finish. Thick construction paper was applied to the walkways to protect my pristine hardwood floors. The job site was left in a neat and tidy condition, hauling away all of the old cast iron and construction debris. For all these reasons, I would heartily recommend their service for any Job big or small. Vlad and team. Thank you again. read more

I previously left a 5 star review for Levi who helped with an earlier plumbing issue. The team came out a few days later (unfortunately I don't remember their names) and fixed the issue. They were efficient and did their best to not disturb any areas that they didn't have to, including finding a way to not cut the drywall. I was very impressed by their expertise! More recently, I had a separate new issue that arose and this time Ryan came to help resolve it. He did an amazing job not only resolving the issue but doing so quickly and expertly. I have been extremely happy with the two times I've used Almco and will continue to do so! read more

Honest, easy to work with. took time to answer all questions, great work. extremely reasonable pricing. Would highly recommend

I have used Almco now several times and I will never invite another Company into my home. These Guys are so awesome. Always honest, professional, and courteous. Ryan was here today and installed a new faucet in our bathroom and I finally have water coming out of that thing. Ryan did the work, he cleaned everything up and the mess of junk under my sink looks better now than it did before he did his work. Thank you Ryan and I can't wait until you can install the matching faucet. read more

Excellent service and Ryan was very good. I felt the price was reasonable. Will use them again read more

Several weeks ago, my wife called a plumber to address our backed-up garbage disposal. During the first visit, we were told the clog couldn't be fixed by snaking and that a "hydroblast" was necessary to remove all the grime from our pipes. I was skeptical--our home isn't that old, yet they insisted on deploying a three-man crew for a job starting at $1800, an outrageous amount for what should have been a simple fix. When the crew arrived to hydroblast our pipes, they later claimed the procedure hadn't worked and suggested there was something seriously wrong with our plumbing. A few days later, they requested our house blueprints and mentioned that opening holes in our kitchen cabinets and walls would be necessary. At that point, I decided to get a second opinion from trusted neighbors whose homes were built by the same developer. My neighbor recommended Fox Plumbing. Anthony from Fox Plumbing came out the very next day, inspected our pipes, and determined that both the original snaking and the hydroblast had been improperly executed. Due to our home's design--where the sink's pipe leads into a T-junction--the high-pressure water had simply missed the clog. Anthony was able to clear it by snaking the pipe, finishing the job in under 45 minutes and for a fraction of the cost charged by Almco Plumbing. I strongly caution anyone from working with Almco Plumbing. If you're presented with an outrageous bill, get a second opinion before proceeding further. It appears Almco knowingly took advantage of us without ever fixing the underlying issue. Our sink is running great now, all thanks to Fox Plumbing, and I wouldn't wish Almco's methods on anyone. read more

100% satisfied great job. Don't go with any company that advertises on TV, unless you like to throw money away. Great honest company that knows what they are doing. Get a couple of estimates and you will chose Almco. read more

Levi and his team, Milton and Paul did an excellent job with repiping our old cast iron sewer lines at our home.

My water heater failed and Ryan was out within one day, got me a quote that was better than the other companies I had called, and had the new heater installed all within 24 hours. He was knowledgeable, respectful of our house, fast and extremely easy to work with, what else could you want? Would definitely recommend Almsco and Ryan. read more

Ryan Rutland from Almco Plumbing, provided an excellent service. We had a small water leak dripping from our 3rd floor to the 2nd floor ceiling onto our living room floor right above our bathroom upstairs. I have no plumbing experience and thought this could be a major job to fix. In 10 minutes Ryan found the issue and resolved it for us. The toilet wax ring was damaged and needed to be replaced, and that's it. Ryan could have taken advantage of the situation and have me pay a lot more, as I would have believed him. Great honest man, providing a great service. Thank you!! read more

I had a free camera inspection of my sewer pipes. Almco sent from a learned, low pressure plumber. Still debating when, not if, I will replace and/or line cast iron pipes, I am confident that "Levi" from Almco gave me an honest assessment. read more

Made an appointment 2 days ago for their plumber to come between 10am-12pm. I wait around until 11:30am and no call or anything. I decided to call them to see what the ETA is and they said they would call the plumber and see what the ETA was. I then get a call back 15 min later to let me know the plumber can't come today and the next available appointment would be 5 days from now. Thanks for wasting my time and making me wait even longer to find another plumber to fix the issue! read more

So thankful they were available the Saturday of Thanksgiving weekend. We had a clogged kitchen drain that kept getting worse and us hosting Thanksgiving didn't help, hence the clogged kitchen sink. Fabian came and fixed our problem. We had ended up having two separate issues and he broke down the problems and the cost so that we had choices. So that was nice. We ended up having him fix both issues. He showed us what he was doing through every step because my husband was interested in learning. Fabian was friendly, professional, and fast. read more

Excellent speedy service on installation of my faucet and good advise concerning my water heater. Highly recommended!!

I called because of an under the kitchen sink leak. I'd usually tackle it myself but I just had eye surgery this morning. Lloyd arrived and promptly acted like it was a big deal to remove the Reverse Osmosis tank and replace ALL of the valves (10 year old chrome plated brass) and said they'll only last 5 years. I pulled out the tank for him, but he still wanted over $400 because he had to put it back in. I paid him the $79 service charge and fixed the one leaky fitting myself, despite being admonished by my eye surgeon not to bend for a week. As a former Firefighter Paramedic and Registered Nurse, I'm used to helping people, not ripping them off. read more

Good service, great value no extra fees.finished on time. Respectfully staff. I highly recommend this company thank you for everything.

Vlad, Dean, and crew were absolutely amazing. They worked with my family and I to provide a pipe bursting solution that completely replaced our very old clay mainline sewer system. Our property is very old with existing structures and landscaping were are not disturbed during this process. They were not only the most efficient, but also the most punctual and friendly organization to work with. They always showed up on time when they say they will and explained everything thoroughly with politeness and professionalism. They also showed a great deal of patience with me since we had family issues that forced us to prolong the start of our project but they stuck with us in our much needed solution. I would strongly recommend them to anyone who is looking for plumbing needs, especially mainline lining or replacement. Thanks Almco!!:) read more
