New faucet and drain plug
Terence O.

The faucet install grew incrementally: first there was an added charge for drain plug install but without considering that the new drain plug would lead to needing a new p trap which in turn would lead to needing to saw a piece off the drawer to make the p trap fit. Of course some of the problems could not be anticipated when the quote was given, but I was disappointed that the drain plug install was not included in the original quote for a faucet install. There were communication issues around the drain install. I thought the job was completed and was surprised that Clear Water left the site with the drain detached inside the cabinet but the shutoff valves were open. When I tested the faucet, water flooded the cabinet. I detected the problem early and cleaned it up. For the urgent second visit to connect the drain, I would have preferred a combined quote for the p trap and sawing the drawer to allow the p trap to fit. Instead the costs grew stepwise there too. In the end, the faucet, the drain plug, and the p trap were all installed and function properly. Ideally, I would have liked to know from tbe start that the original quote did not include the drain plug and that when I agreed to replace the drain plug for an additional cost that this would or could cause consequences for the connection to the p trap and the drawer. I don't do this for a living but I expect an experienced plumber to anticipate downstream consequences. While the total cost was reasonable, it was much higher than the low quote that got my attention. Everyone I met was very friendly and responsive to the short timeline I needed for the job. I have mixed feelings overall.

Area not returned to original condition. Floor and contents under sink left out. Cabinet doors not re-installed.

Our 15 year old water heater started leaking and I called our go to plumbing company that we have…read morebeen using for many years now. Thank you Efficient plumbing yet again for your service and timely installation. When we called my husband scheduled the plumbers Steve and Hector to come out the following day. They had a look at my water heater and determined it needed to be replaced. We had been wanting to get a new tankless water heater for quite some time but my husband wanted to wait until we were in need of replacing our current hot water heater tank. Steve gave us a quote for replacing our current 75 gallon water heater with a tankless Navien model that would go in our garage in the same place as our old water heater. The price was fair and we agreed to go with the work. Later that morning Efficient Plumbing ordered our tankless water heater, delivered it, removed our old water heater and installed the new tankless water heater for us. They did an amazing job with all the necessary modifications to make the conversion from tank to tankless and we were thrilled with the end result. We now have endless hot water that we once never had. Efficient Plumbing has once again came to our rescue when we have been in need of a plumber! They are the best plumbers and I will continue working with them on any future projects or improvements that we may need.

A few weeks ago we woke up to find a bubble in our dining room ceiling from water that had been…read morefilling up while we were asleep! This is any homeowners nightmare and I called Efficient Plumbing right away. We have used them for many years and sadly this wasn't our first water leak. Evelin answered the phone and walked me through on how to shut the water off to the house immediately to stop the water damage. Hector came out within the hour and got to work diagnosing our issue. He is knowledgeable and very experienced and we always feel like we are in good hands. Our ceiling was opened and it turned out to be a copper pin hole leak on the water line in the ceiling above the dining room that feeds our master bathroom. Hector skillfully repaired the water leak and also advised us to consider a whole house repipe since this was not our first leak. They gave us their estimate the same day for the whole house repipe and even offered to credit the repairs made with Hector towards the repipe which was a big help. We decided to move forward and had them repipe our whole house the following week. They got it done in one day and everything went great! A few days later the drywall was patched up and we were all done! There are many many plumbers in our area but after years of consistent quality workmanship and customer service, I only use and trust Efficient Plumbing.

When we decided to replace it and also add a new water filtration system, they were incredibly helpful--presenting multiple options and even giving us a discount that made a huge difference. Their installation work was absolutely top-notch. Both Zachariah and Cooper went above and beyond; they are detail-oriented professionals who clearly know exactly what they are doing. We also had to fix a water leak coming from our ceiling, and Simon thoroughly inspected everything and accurately located the source of the leak. The very next day, Simon and Jacob returned to complete the repair. They were professional, efficient, and truly exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend Olson Superior Plumbing!

Unfortunately, during one of the visits, my wall was damaged. I called multiple times and was repeatedly told the company would take care of it, but nobody ever followed through. Jacob deserves credit for his work, but the company's lack of follow-up and failure to take responsibility for the damage was extremely disappointing. Hopefully this review finally gets someone's attention.

I understood the risk in doing this as it might cause leaking and permanent internal damage to the water heater. I was having water pressure issues because of built up sediment in my aerators from my water heater. I have been using the same plumber for over 9 years, along with my family, co-workers, and friends, however due to several integrity issues that have come up recently, it was time for a change. I contacted several local plumbers in the HB area and decided to go with Pacific Standard, even though there were not many reviews on the business and the business was still fairly new. Best decision ever! First off, Curtis (the owner) was prompt in getting back to me after I requested quotes from several plumbers. He was courteous, informative, patient, knowledgeable, transparent and just really nice (hard to find in this industry). Curtis is a very experienced plumber. He is the owner and works with Jeff, his master plumber. This is the reason I decided to go with Pacific Standard and not with one of the big companies where they have huge overhead resulting in the customer paying a lot more than a local experienced family owned business like Curtis's. I explained the situation and he requested a few photos of my tankless WH. I sent him the photos and he promptly emailed me his quote. His quote was discounted 10% for being a new customer. I also purchased a $150 for $75 voucher on Yelp to receive $150 worth of services for $75. I scheduled the service for a couple days after I received the quote. Jeff, who is a master plumber showed up. Jeff has over 30 years in the business and owned his own plumbing business in LA. He said he moved down to OC and sold his business and now works with Curtis. From meeting Jeff, again, he was so humble, nice, courteous, knowledgeable and was early for the appointment (rare with contractors). He explained exactly what the process would be to flush the water heater. He did inform me of the risk of the water heater components getting permanently damaged where I would have to replace the heater if this occurred with the unit had not been flushed in years. I told him I understood and I agreed to do the flush. I observed him flushing the unit. During this time, he explained the process. When completed, the unit did not leak, so it was successful. Jeff then did a full home inspection of my plumbing in my home. I asked him about water pressure in my Moen bathroom sinks. He said there should have been a tool to unscrew the aerator that came with the sink. I told him I didn't have it. He said to call Moen (lifetime warranty), send them a photo of your faucet and ask them to send you a new one. I called the next day and success, they are sending me out the tool. This is an example of a plumber who cares for the needs of their customers. Jeff did not rush at all. He did a great job and was so personable making me feel comfortable around him. It has been a week now and NO WATER PRESSURE ISSUES or SEDIMENT BUILD UP. Because of this positive experience with both Curtis and Jeff with Pacific Standard Plumbing, they are now my primary plumber. I will be referring them to my co-workers, friends and family. Also all of my neighbors are elderly in my community, so they ask me for referrals for contractors when they are in need. For all your plumbing needs in the HB and Orange County with very good pricing, call Pacific Standard. Thank you Curtis and Jeff.
