    Water heater hot water pump timer and manifold

    Gabriel (and Gabriel) were awesome. On time, fixed my problem in a timely and professional manor, very efficient.

    Gabriel is a vendor for our property management company and was called to inspect our water heater. He quickly identified that carbon monoxide was leaking from exhaust outlet and that unit needed immediate replacement and repair. Once given the green light, he came the very next day to fix issues identified. He was efficient, communicative and professional throughout the whole process. Thank you Gabriel!

From scheduling with Angela with ease on the phone and having the option of using an App for communication, to Tim's arrival for the appointment, everything was above my expectation. Tim gave clear explanation of plumbing issues and provided solutions. Never did he try to upsell. He gave me a very reasonable quote which I agreed and started working right away on a Sunday. The following were completed: 1. Navien descaling 2. Replace pre-filter to house 3. Unclog bathroom sink drain Tim is to return to complete the following: 1. Kitchen RO filters replacement after i receive parts I ordered 2. Hot and cold water mixing issue - to be determine what is causing it. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided, how Tim and Angela communicated with me. Tim was organized, respected property, fixed plumbing issues correctly, not quick fixes, and left areas where he worked the way he found it. It is very difficult to find someone who has old school values with skills to fix things around the house nowadays. Most companies wants to only take on big jobs with the greatest profits and forget smaller jobs almost always leads to bigger jobs when they are done correctly. I will definitely hire Tim again for plumbing issues for my home as well as my rental property. Thank you.

He was thorough in diagnosing the issue and came fully prepared with all the right equipment to get the job done properly. He quickly cleared a clog and then used a camera to confirm the line was completely clear before finishing the job. Angela was also a pleasure to work with--very friendly, organized, and efficient. The whole process was smooth, and the payment process was simple and easy. If you're looking for an honest, personable plumber with fair pricing, I highly recommend Lujan's Plumbing & Rooter. I truly appreciate their professionalism and the quality of their work.

    I've been using Faith Plumbing & Air / Faith Mechanical for over 10 years, and I can confidently…read moresay that Cesar and Kristen run one of the most trustworthy and reliable companies in the industry. I've relied on Cesar for countless plumbing and HVAC issues--everything from my personal home to multiple rental properties I manage. Cesar consistently goes above and beyond. He takes the time to explain the entire situation, walks me through recommendations and options , and never rushes the conversation--no matter how long it takes. His professionalism, honesty, and strong communication are unmatched. I truly trust him, and that is priceless in this line of work. Yes, Faith Plumbing & Air is a bit more on the expensive side, but the quality of work, integrity, and peace of mind make it absolutely worth every penny. I'd rather pay for a job done right the first time, and that's exactly what they deliver. Over the years, I've referred Cesar to colleagues, friends, and family, and every single one of them has had equally great experiences. I can't recommend Faith Plumbing & Air / Faith Mechanical enough--they are my go-to team for anything plumbing or HVAC, and they've earned my trust time and time again.

It hung my other subs up and offered no explanation for his extended absence. There are four points of contact in the bathroom and every single item(shower, toilet,sink and tub) component proved to be problematic. This is after an extensive consultation and detailed outline of the entire project. Every time he opened a box, he said "I didn't know you had a tub, shower head, faucet, toilet like this". I had to pay for retile and labor for incorrect drain placement and item returns. Every time something was done incorrectly, his response was "that can be fixed". All of which included stocking and shipping fees because of his incompetence. The upside to all of the $10,000 in additional cost we incurred because of him was we found an EXCELLENT plumbing company.

    I'm a little surprised Jake's Plumbing has such positive reviews, based on my experience with them…read more My home warranty company assigned them for a job that involved multiple items, most very simple, but two a little more involved. I'll start by saying a few nice things: Jake's is able to dispatch quickly, and the plumbers they send seem relatively capable, though there is some variation. And both the plumbers and the office staff seem nice. More challengingly, it took a remarkable number of visits, over many, many months, to complete some fairly straightforward work. I'm lucky I have a job that fairly easily lets me be at home waiting for a contractor if needed; for someone for whom taking time away from work is a bigger deal, this would have been a brutal experience. And there were a bunch of hiccups, like the wrong parts being ordered, plumbers showing up not prepared to do the job, and a plumber dismantling a shower valve down to the rough-in valve and declaring the job done (surreally, I had to argue with the office that the job was finished when the shower was functional again). Most challengingly, two valves for a tub needed replacement, because they were leaking and too corroded to replace the cartridges, requiring access through tile. For almost a year, I tried to get a quote for the work, because the home warranty company wouldn't cover tile access. I asked the office repeatedly for a quote. I asked every plumber who came to my house to work on other, simpler parts of the job. And I never got a quote, and I finally just gave up. The bottom line is that this office seems to struggle to handle even modestly complex jobs. For the simplest jobs, like a toilet that needs to be snaked or a simple leak under a sink, they can dispatch a reasonably capable, friendly plumber quickly. But the wheels seem to come off when things get even modestly complex, like parts having to be ordered. And I say all that with some regret, because these seem like nice people, and I tried really hard to work with them.

    I've had MG Plumbing and Rooter out to my home three separate times through my home warranty, and…read morethey have been consistently excellent. Most recently, Mark handled a garbage disposal leak and a kitchen faucet leak for us. Mark is incredibly knowledgeable and performs a very thorough inspection before starting any work. Beyond just fixing the issue, he provides expert guidance--for example, he suggested I order parts directly through Moen to ensure the best fit and warranty coverage. The repairs and replacements were flawless. Scheduling is always easy, and Mark is punctual with great communication throughout the process. Highly recommended!

    We contacted MG Plumbing due to a gas smell coming from our water heater when it was in use, which…read moreis a serious safety concern. Before the appointment, my husband explained the issue in detail and sent photos of the make and model of the unit. When Mark arrived, he looked at the unit and said he needed to contact the manufacturer and would follow up on Monday. We never received that follow-up. There were no missed calls, no voicemail, and no text message. My husband does not block unknown numbers and must answer all calls for work, so there is no record of any attempt to contact us. During this time, we were also dealing with our son unexpectedly needing surgery, which delayed us from calling back sooner. Prior to MG Plumbing's visit, we had already contacted PG&E when we first noticed the gas smell. PG&E did not detect a gas leak, even while running hot water to try to reproduce the issue. Out of caution, we have been turning the gas off when the unit is not in use. The smell appears to occur only when hot water is used in our children's bathroom. When we finally followed up later in the week, we were informed that Mark is not certified to work on Rinnai units, which prevented him from getting information from the manufacturer. Given the safety concern involved, this should have been clearly communicated sooner. Due to the lack of follow-up and communication, we had to start over with a certified plumber. I hope this review remains visible so others can make an informed decision.
