Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable! A great service and great person to work with. Would highly recommend Calibet Plumbing.

Leaving another very positive review for Oliver - many years later from my initial review! One of the few honest, fair and upfront guys that I have ever had the good fortune to know, that has helped me over the years on my home plumbing. I had very high water pressure recently, Oliver was able to assist me over the phone and guide me on what needed to be done - which I was able to accomplish! Oliver - hope you have extra good karma this week from your good deed! J read more

Best plumber I ever met. Any time I have a plumbing problem, Oliver solves it quickly and economically.

We really appreciate Oliver. He's our regular plumber and has truly helped us out several times. He's honest, fair, reliable and does a really great job. Can't say enough good about him. I highly recommend him. I think he's about the best plumber anyone could ever find! read more

Oliver is so awesome! He does such a great job and is a really nice guy on top of it! I highly recommend him!

Used them for years. Came to my house the first time and was facing a $10k repair quote. He diagnosed the problem in 5 minutes, told me how to fix it myself and wouldn't take payment. Since then have used multiple times and referred all over. So difficult to find a plumber you can trust. He has made major repairs and replaced a sewer line after an earthquake, and everything has worked great. read more

This is the second time i used Calibet. The first time was about 4 years ago for a problem of big leak from pipes in backyard, leaking into adjacent garage. The pipes were connected to a faucet by the garage. A section of my drip system was connected to that faucet. Oliver determined that there was a leak in the pipes leading up to the faucet, exact location not known, would be necessary to dig down next to the garage and search for the location of the leak/leaks. Pipe would be replaced when the leak was found. He said the cost would depend on how far down the pipe was, how much of the yard had to be dug up, and how much repiping would be required, depending on distance from faucet. He opened the question of whether i really need that faucet. He said if i didn't need the faucet, it would cost very little to just block off that faucet so it couldn't be turned on. no more leak. I only needed it for the section of drip system on that side of the patio. Oliver began looking at other ways to get water to that section of the drip system. He looked at the that ran the other section of the drip system. He said he could convert that faucet from two outlets to four. Then he could run a line up to the shelter structure that shaded the area between house & garage, run a line across and down to the plants on that side. About the price, he said i would have a couple of options. One would be to use copper tubing, and a less expensive way would be to use plastic tubing. Plastic tubing would not last as long as copper but it would work for a long time and then when needed could be inexpensively replaced or repaired. He gave me the difference in the price between using copper or plastic, and it was a big difference. i asked him what he would do if it was his house. He thought about it, and said he would use plastic. And that's what i did. It's worked great. Recently a few sun exposed sections of the thin tubing that goes to the plants are wearing out. Oliver will come back out to replace what needs replacing. The whole price for capping off the pipe that was causing the leak when the faucet was turned on and for reconnecting the new sprinkler drip line was $250. Recently my bathtub shower began draining slow. Calibet was out of town at the time, according to their voice mail. Another plumber came, took the drain cover off, stuck his fingers in, pulled out some hair, did not help, he poked around in the drain and said i have old plumbing and that sometimes when you try to fix it, something breaks, and then you need more repairs. He was reluctant to try to get it working & i was scared of expensive repairs, so he left. i called another plumber i have used before. He was out of town on vacation, so his assistant came over. I told him that the other guy said there was a risk of breaking old plumbing, i wanted to make sure he knew that because he looked so young. He looked at my drain and said it was too old to be snaked out. He looked under my house and said i needed some new pipes connected to the bathtub. He said he would text me later with a quote for the price. Later he texted $950. I had another shower to use, so i planned to do it after payday. When i did use that shower which hadn't been used in some years, it was so clogged, it didn't drain at all. So, i figured i had to use my savings because i needed it right away. I wanted to get more quotes for replacing the pipes under the house. The first plumber i called was Calibet. Oliver picked up his cell. I told him what the two other plumbers said about my plumbing being too old to snake, that i needed new pipes and i wanted to get an estimate to do that. Oliver asked me some questions and then said he didn't know why it couldn't be snaked & said he needed to see it and he could come over that day. He said it would be $94 to snake it. He arrived with a snake and an assistant. He went to work on the bathtub drain, slowly carefully snaking it, pulled out a huge thick amount of hair, said there was more hair to go back and get, did the same thing, another massive amount, no wonder it had stopped draining. He tested it and it was now draining like new. I asked how much it costs to have another drain snaked and he said $45. I told him about the other shower. He sent his assistant to start snaking the other shower while he put the drain cover back on (easier said than done). The other guy had a hard time, lots of dark brown rust was in the shower floor and a piece of the snake wire got bent. Oliver came in and took over. In about 15 minutes, that drain worked like new, rust all cleaned up. Total $139. I was so happy and relieved. Great feeling. Obviously if Oliver wanted to charge me more (as the only unhappy reviewer said), i had already told him i was calling for a quote to replace pipes under my house. He didn't want to do anything unnecessary, he wanted to do the right repair. He's either smarter or more honest than the other two guys, or both. my hero. read more

Our toilet was not flushing properly and I spent the entire week trying to fix it myself. I even bought a new flushing system and Heavy Duty plunger but it still would not work I was close to buying a new toilet but decided to call in a plumber first. I called Calibet last night and they showed up right on time and snaked the toilet after discussing with me the possible options. In 2 minutes, the toilet was working perfectly again. Todd the field service technician was friendly, cordial and in out within 25 minutes. Cost for repairs $95.00. Price for pooping and flushing properly - priceless. read more

Forget about Joe the Plumber! Geez, if i hear one more Joe the Plumber reference i'm gonna hurl! (though there's a deliciously scathing tirade by Keith Olbermann of MSNBC at this link below!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6b3PZracxLQ Anywhoozers, let's be clear. It's all about Sir O the Plumber! If you are looking for a guy who gives you the straight dish, it's clearly Oliver Callibet. He is the consummate professional, honest/no BS, and has a wide knowledge base about all things plumbing. His prices are VERY affordable and his workmanship is first rate. So far, he's helped with some leaky pipes under the house, and with a nasty dying water heater. I will be calling him again (let's just hope not anytime soon....) 5 Stars YO! From Jonathan T. the Yelper read more

Once again, I am back on Yelp to extol the virtues of Calibet Plumbing. I smelled gas in my laundry room. I called Oliver, and he and Todd came up Laurel Canyon again to help me out. Found the problem (leaking gas valve) replaced it, and finished the whole thing in 20 minutes! I can't thank them enough, in a world where excellent service is a long lost art, they are top brass! Thanks Oliver and Todd for fixing my problem for such a small price, and for all of the great conversation! Highly recommend. You would be foolish to get another guy! read more

My water heater was making sounds like tiny miners were inside it, trying to escape. Then, I had no hot water. Oliver came out and quickly determined that I needed a new water heater. It was 10 years old and had a good run. He had other jobs that day...far away...but he came back late that evening to install a new water heater for me. He was honest, professional, thoroughly explained why my old water heater died and replaced it with a new one of better quality. He was meticulous about cleaning up and his price was more than fair. Oliver and his assistants, Todd and Michael, are highly recommended. They are efficient and even showed up early! read more

OMG! Seriously, Oliver is exceptional! A true professional. I called him this morning to ask for his services for a garbage disposal problem we were having, and get this. He told me how to fix it over the phone!!! Believe me, Im not handy with tools or manuals for that matter, but I was able to fix our garbage disposal in less than 2min!!! I didn't even get my hands dirty! NO charge, Super sweet and patient! Oh, and he also did some work last year on our house and again, professional, reliable, great prices. He's our go to plumber!! read more

Oliver was great!!! My pipes were clogged and we thought the snake would be enough, but turned out we had bigger issues. He was nice enough to explain it all to me and made sure I understood so that I could explain it to my landlord. Got it all taken care of and at a reasonable price, I will definitely call them again! read more

Will tell you one price and charge you double without letting you know that the price increased until work is done. He also VOLUNTEERED to connect my washer and dryer. I said thank you that's so nice of you. He never said anything about a charge. I offered more business because I thought that was nice of him, and he also saw I had a newborn, and I was spending hundreds of dollars for a hour repair. I 'asked' him to snake the drain. So the $375 quote he gave me, was expected to be $500 or so with the snake, being that he didn't have to dig up any concrete. How it turned into a $700 charge without him saying one word or telling me it would be more, is a mystery. I figured it would be around $500. Don't trust. He at no point told me it's $100 dollar charge to connect the washer/dryer and played the nice role, nor did he tell me the price increased because of XYZ, until I left my husband to pay, in which he charged $700. When I called him about it he said he would credit it for future services. Then I decided I wanted a refund instead. He literally said he would come back and disconnect the washer and dryer and give me my money back, which wouldn't be a problem because my contractor was coming Monday. When I contacted him at 330 pm Monday to come do it he said it was too late and they close at 5??? This guy is a joke. Instead of saying I apologize I will refund your money or half the charge, he literally wanted to come to my house and unplug my washer and dryer. My four year old niece has more business etiquette than Oliver. Awful business person, shady, and will take advantage of a woman and charge more without asking or explaining. Super unprofessional. Find someone else, these reviews are probably paid for or he has friends. I hate feeling ripped off. Contractors should be open about pricing. This guys a golden spooner, hide your nice car or any valuables because he will come in your house look and overcharge you without saying a word. read more

Saw all the good reviews on Yelp. Called and they came out when they said they would. Answered all my questions and actually went through the procedure with me. In case I could do it myself next time. Oliver did a great job. Affordable and reliable service. Glad that all the prior reviews I've read really were true. I'd recommend these guys to any of my friends. And, to anyone reading this review. read more

Called the man up & told him the situation--he was helpful enough on the phone to actually tell me what part was needed & what needed to be done, which was cool because if i had chosen i could have done it myself. I'd already attempted to DIY this ish a bit, but the project was a bit too complicated & extensive for my first foray into the world of plumbing, not to mention going more than a week without a kitchen sink gets annoying... so he came over within 45 minutes of getting off the phone with me, and was out of the apartment in another 45 after quickly and efficiently fixing the problem. he was quite amicable as well. i'm not all that familiar with how much various plumbing services cost cuz i've actually never hired a plumber before, but i'm under the impression that even simple plumbing jobs are pretty expensive relatively speaking, unless you have a plumber friend who can hook you up super fat. they have the knowledge & the tools, so they make the rules. that being said i'm halfway sure that his price was fairly standard for a simple job. he definitely didn't try to swindle extra cash for bullshit reasons. and if you need a plumbing job done, you definitely don't want a thieving plumber working on yr shit. read more

Finally a YELP rating worthy of 5 stars. Calibet is an excellent plumbing service. ON TIME, knowledgeable, fast, efficient and fair with the pricing. They came in and replaced old bathroom faucets that had rusted, a messed up kitchen sink and fixed a broken toilet. They don't waste time and get right to work. I would highly recommend them to my family and friends. read more

Sorry, but I did NOT have a good experience with Oliver. I found him on Yelp and called him because of the great reviews. Upselling seems to be his thing. On my first call to him, he got me to buy a larger garbage disposal than I needed. On my second call to him he tried to get me to buy a brand new water heater. But instead I called another plumber who simply fixed my own water heater. Oliver also had me make all kinds of phone calls to get a parts number, when I didn't need to! Then he claimed he never got my check and refused to split the stop payment fee so I could write him another one. Do yourself a favor and FIND ANOTHER PLUMBER. read more

A homeowners worst nightmare, a backed-up main sewer line! After getting an outrageous quote from one of the chain plumbing outlets I was referred to Oliver by a friend. He came out promptly did what had to be done quite efficiently at a much more reasonable price (less than 1/2 the original quote). He took the time to explain what needed to be done without any attitude. I will definitely use him again! read more

Oliver and Jeff were great! I had a water heater problem where I feared having to pay for an entirely new water heater (recommended by DWP). Oliver came by and found out it just needed one part. He got everything working for me quickly and efficiently. The cost was very reasonable and they were very friendly, highly recommended! read more

Fast service, they came the next morning. One older and one younger guy. Service was average, prices were NOT low. I use a different plumber now that I like more. read more

I picked Calibet because of its good reviews on Yelp, and they didn't disappoint. We needed someone to disconnect our kitchen sink the day before our new countertop was to be installed, and they did a great 9and quick) job. We had them come out the week after to reconnect everything, and both Oliver and Todd spend a few hours fixing up our old angle stops and putting the place back together. They did a great job. I don't have too much comparison in terms of pricing, but based on a few other places I called, theirs seems very reasonable. Recommended. read more

I've returned to Calibet for my plumbing needs 3 times now. Once to adjust our water pressure going into the house, once to repair our garbage disposal, and once when our kitchen sink was backed up. Each time they were kind, patient, fast, reasonably priced, and a pleasure to do business with. Take note all business owners. This is how you run a business. I doubt anyone would give them fewer than 5 stars. Thanks for being in the neighborhood. read more

We just bought a house, so we are running into some plumbing needs. We called another guy who was going to have us rip out the bathroom in order to replace the pipe. Oliver was great. He saved us a ton of money. We thought we had a busted pipe, turns out our shower was just poorly sealed. Oliver is now my go to guy. read more

This is going to be a very odd review, as I actually never ended up hiring these guys. However, I wanted to give them a 5 Star rating for honesty. I called them up over Thanksgiving weekend and they (Oliver I think) called me right back. After explaining my two problems they a) told me how to fix one myself and b) recommended I wait for the other to resolve itself. Basically, a less honest guy would have taken us for a few hundred dollars. As it turned out, we didn't spend a penny, thanks to their 100% honesty. We'll done, if your work is as good as your conscience, then I'd recommend you to anyone! read more

I had a quote from a couple other plumbing services. Went with Oliver Calibet because of the great reviews here and his best price quote. He was excellent. He found the cracked sewer pipe, discovered further damage and addressed that too. He showed me the issues as he found them so that I was informed of his process of discoverying and then resolving the issues. He cleaned up. He even gave me some advice on another faucet plumbing problem. He finished earlier than he expected, but that is only because everything worked out well and he took care of unexpected issues effectively. Per hour one would say I overpaid. But he did the job efficiently and saved me time too. And like others have suggested, Oliver is a down-to-earth guy. No flashy vehicles, no fast talking, no ridiculous prices. read more

What awesome guys! On-time, very reasonable, excellent FAST work. Thank you Oliver, you two did an amazing job! Highly recommended. Too bad yelp doesn't allow 10 stars. read more

Thank you for walking me through fixing my garbage disposal! Gave me personal power and saved me 94 bucks! Great guy! You will definitely be my go to guy if I have a real plumbing issue! read more

Oliver is a super nice guy, does great work and most importantly - is honest. We had a toilet that needed replacing and some old piping under our house that was clogging (60 year old pipes) and he took care of it for us, picked up the toilet after I picked one out that he had recommended from HD, replaced pipes - all at a very reasonable price and he guarantees his work! Oh and he showed up exactly on time every single time he came over, responds quickly to texts... what else can I say, awesome. read more

Have used these guys twice, once to repair a sink and the other to clear a pipe that was backed up in our laundry room. Excellent company! Very honest, affordable. Always quick to respond to my call and they show up when they say they will. Have tried a few plumbers around the Valley and Calibet will always get my business. read more

Oliver is great! He showed up early. I had 3 issues - a sink, a drain and a pond pump. He was able to identify and rectify all of my issues in record time. A real pleasure! I will definitely be calling him for future plumbing issues. read more

These guys are GREAT! Quick, polite, accomodating, knowledgable, for a fair price - what else could you ask for, especially in a plumber! Oliver and Todd are the guys to call!! Thanks again both of you - Ken read more

Oliver is the BEST. Professional, prompt, and able to show you exactly what's happening in your pipelines, I've never felt swindled by him or his team. He offers real advice, gets the job done, and will even offer tips to keep your repairs down. I've used him for my home, my own business, and two other businesses I work with. He has repaired toilets, snaked lines, hydrojetted... you name it. He's probably tired of all my calls because I just can't stop referring them. Use them! read more

I found the seemingly only honest plumber in LA! I cannot rave enough about Oliver and Calibet Plumbing. He came with Conner, who was also great. Let me tell you why Oliver gets a 5-star review (I think he deserves 10 stars!). The plumber who "fixed" my shower 3 months ago did not actually fix it. He "rebuilt" the stems but Oliver explained that it's a $20 part and not worth rebuilding them. Boy, was he right! The plumbing company who "fixed" it 3 months ago did not stand by their work. I will never used them again but they did me a favor since I now have a capable, kind and honest plumber instead! I called Oliver about an unrelated problem yesterday and he told me I could fix it easily and I did. The shower was another and larger problem. Last night, the shower leaked a lot and this morning I made an appt. for next week with Oliver. He was kind and courteous on both calls. I took a shower in the afternoon and the hot water would not shut off at all. I spent 90 minutes carrying buckets of the running water to water my yard in this drought-afflicted area and called Oliver about halfway through. He kindly came today, he arrived quickly and actually replaced the parts with new parts this time. He also showed me how easily they can break and how to avoid that. I was being very careful before but I will be extra careful going forward. By the way, he knew I was in a bind, came on a Saturday, did not charge more since I was unlucky enough to have it break on a weekend and stuck to the same price it would have been next week. He was courteous, patient, amazing and just a delight! And he charged a reasonable price. Wow! I no longer have to worry about being soaked by plumbers who don't do the job right the first time and then don't take your call since they don't want to stand by their work. By contrast, Oliver was fast, professional, did a great job and had a wonderful attitude. If you are reading this, I would suggest calling Oliver first to save the time, trouble, cost and aggravation of dealing with a less honorable plumber. It was an expensive lesson to learn but I am very happy with the results. Thanks Oliver and Calibet Plumbing! read more

Highly recommend! Oliver was extremely professional (called me back and even tried to help me fix my problems over the phone). He arrived on time and the work was not rushed. If you are reading reviews trying to decide who to use, stop wasting your time and go with Oliver. The other companies that have "high" reviews on yelp didn't even return my call. read more

Oliver is awesome. Honest, personable and on time. I called him at the end of day for a toilet issue, he was at my house in 30mins. Fixed the problem right away and did it for a reasonable price. A+++ read more

Oliver and Todd of Calibet Plumbing are pleasant, friendly, focused and competitive. They poses a true good nature. They take the stress out of the job and they wont leave until its right. I recommend them. read more

These guys truly deserve their 5 star rating, so I had to add to it. I've used them twice now and have been impressed with their promptness, quality of work, and professionalism, even though they are very chill and friendly. They also charge a fair price (actually, half the price that another plumber I used charged.). read more

I had just gotten home from work when I heard water start spraying under the kitchen sink, flooding the cabinet. I turned off the main water line and looked up plumbers on Yelp. Calibet was the 4th plumber I tried and the first to answer the phone. Oliver was out within a couple hours to diagnose the problem- a burst pipe in the wall!- and since he'd have to cut open the wall from outside and it was dark already, he set up someone to come the next morning. Todd was fast, efficient, friendly- and it all cost much less than I anticipated! I will definitely be using Calibet as my go- to plumbing co. and have already recommended them to friends! read more

Your BEST choice for all plumbing needs! We needed our new house completely re-piped with copper plumbing. Oliver and his team were very professional and completed the job in less than 5 days! A whole house! Oliver takes great care when inspecting a job, you can tell that he really takes his occupation seriously. Never, did we feel intimidated, up-sold or pressured. Oliver just wants the system to "work as it should". House has some difficult-to-reach areas but Oliver's team did it all, patching up the walls and leaving the place nice and clean. Very pleased with the work. read more
