Very professional outfit. Their hourly labor rate is over $400. They quoted installation of a new tankless navien unit and their estimate was just under $2000 more than the outfit I went with. Their staff is very courteous and professional. I had some water pressure issues and they correctly diagnosed what the problem was. Needed a new regulator and my whole house filter was way overdue to be changed. I okayed them to install the new regulator. So the total visit came out to be just over $1000, and that was with a discount. The total was for diagnosing the situation including the water pressure problem and determining that repairing my old TWH was probably not ideal even though it was only 3 years old. It was hard to swallow, but nonetheless an accurate assessment. I was just able to find someone who could do a quality install for 40% less. read more

Had a weird smell under the kitchen sink didn't know what to do but core plumbing had helped me once with my water heater so I knew I could call them and get it sorted out. Josh went above and beyond with all my questions and ended up finding the source and replaced my garbage disposal as well as jetted the drains. He went above and beyond and did a thorough job! Will hire them again for any plumbing needs thank you! read more

Core Plumbing came out to give me bid for installing a Moen Flo leak detection device, the part alone cost about $600. The Owner Grant himself came. Please get plenty of other bids to compare to Core because the price differences are SUBSTANTIAL from other 5 Yelp star plumbers for the same job ranging fro $350 - $2500 for Core. I always use Yelp quotes for all my service needs. In answer to Grant's response to my review below, the plumber Grant calls "Handyman" who quoted the $350 for labor to install, is this solid 5 Yelp star licensed plumber called In "Open Line Plumbing". And they quickly sent the $350 bid in writing. https://www.yelp.com/biz/open-line-plumbing-san-diego And AT THE TIME GRANT was at my house quoting $2000 - $2500 he said it was for LABOR ONLY, because I didn't need the part, I already had the right 1 inch Moen Flo in the picture below on another house, so now in his respnse to my review Grant changed his price to "sound better because his too expensive price includes the parts now". So I now changed my review to 1 star review because of Grant's response, below. I think he is a bully and comes across as the kind of person who has to "be on top". UNPROFESSIONAL ALSO TO BERATE THE 5 YELP STAR OPEN LINE PLUMBER AS "HANDYMAN", who has higher Yelp stars than Core! Read their reviews below https://www.yelp.com/biz/open-line-plumbing-san-diego I have since discovered when I called Moen, that Moen has a "bundle price deal with my insurance company", parts and labor for exactly $1000 including tax. But I think I still wanna pay to remove the Moen from another house, because I am selling that house, and Open LIne's $350 + $250 labor to remove it, still saves me money because I already paid $550 for the Moen Flo part 5 years ago. It was not in operation for 4 of the 5 years there ( I unplugged it). I feel Core Plumbing's price was outrageous and gouging, and that you should definitely call several other plumbers for their prices, because you may find that Core charges 150% - 300% more and the cheaper plumbers have just as high Yelp reviews. Here is my original 2 Yelp star review below before Grant posted his answer. I changed my Yelp 2 stars to 1 star with the explanation above. My plan was to pay $250 to remove another Moen Flo from another house that I am selling and have a plumber install it on this house. Grant arrivedl when another plumber was already looking at the pipes. I already got a bid for another plumber for $350 from another five Yelp star plumber who came out, and the plumber who was already present said they would charge $800 for both Moen Flo installation AND temperature sensor installation that was being required by my insurance company. My installation requires significant modification because of the lack of room for the MoenFlo. When Grant heard those much cheaper prices, he said his price was $2000 two $2500 just for the Moen Flo installation alone, labor only. He was bellowing loudly in front of the other plumber, that "OBVIOULSY WE WERE NOT A MATCH because I was a shopper for lowest price, and I was not someone who just accepts the first bid if he were the first bid!" Anyhow I am giving Grant 2 star because of his "gouging and ourageous" price, and his unprofessional bellowing and he appeared arrogant to me. Huffing and puffing that "We were not a match!!!". But I am giving this business 2 stars because the office was very diligent in their contacts with me to make the appointment through Yelp messaging, responding to messaging right away. Please get plenty of other bids to compare to Core because the price differences are SUBSTANTIAL from other 5 Yelp star plumbers for the same job. I always use Yelp quotes for all my service needs. read more

Great service! Adjusted to our needs readily. So happy everything was functioning within 2 days.

I really appreciated how quickly the team at Core Plumbing responded to my time sensitive need to have a particular plumbing device installed, and I was also really impressed with the quality of their work too. Core Plumbing's employee, Joshua, did the home installation for me, and in addition to thinking highly of him as a person, I really appreciated his professionalism, hard work, and expertise. read more

Core Plumbing did a very thorough job and the company is easy to work with. I definitely recommend.

Updated review as we used them a 2nd time. They were prompt and always quick to respond and kept us up-to-date with any changes, etc. The pricing was about what was expected and were friendly and seemed knowledgeable. Thanks again! read more

Kevin and his team was great replacing my water heater and even my bidet. I greatly appreciate them. They also come once a year to flush out the water. read more

"The communication and overall response from the company were exceptional. Grant, Joseph, Josh, and the rest of the crew were fantastic--professional, highly focused, and they completed the work correctly and right on schedule. They also did a wonderful job cleaning up after themselves. While I didn't expect to have our water heater and a few angle stops replaced alongside our original service call for a PRV, the quality and service made it totally worth it. We truly appreciate your professionalism and hard work!" read more

First off the technician's they sent were very friendly, knowledgeable and hard working for sure. First Josh stopped in to provide an estimate. Not once did he make me feel pressured in paying for something I didn't need. He was very patient in answering all of my questions. The owner Grant contacted me personally to follow up with the estimate. He was willing to work with me on the pricing which my wife and I were comfortable with. Mikey and Mike were sent in to tag team the job. Pretty much replacing anything water heater related to include a new pressure regulator valve. They were extremely professional and took the time to answer more of my questions. All in all, I'm very pleased with their work and would definitely recommend them to my neighbors, family and friends for any plumbing work that may be needed. Hopefully I won't need any, anytime soon, but I'd give them a call in the future if needed. Thank you for the good experience Core Plumbing. read more

Kitchen faucet broke, we knew we would also likely need to replace the janky water heater we inherited when we purchased our house a few years ago. Grant came by, gave us an honest assessment and quote. My wife and I felt pretty good about their approach, so we added a house water filter too. Small job became a bigger job and they were able to scale up and keep the ball rolling. By the end of the day our old water heater was removed with a temp set up in its place. New water heater and filter were on-site. Day 2: Water heater (new tankless - requiring a new gas line) and kitchen faucet installed and running flawlessly. Day 3: Water filter installed and doing its magic. Core's plumbers are all professional and on-time. You'll receive text updates with the guys' names, photos, and ETA's the day of the work. They do good, complete work and clean everything up afterwards. All of this makes them unicorns in a post-pandemic world, from my experience. They back their work. (They even put up with my highly-reactive - thus barky - puppy very well.) They might not be the budget-friendliest solution, but you get what you pay for with plumbing in lovely San Diego. We'll continue to use CP if/when things come up and recommend them to friends without hesitation. read more

Core Plumbing - New tankless! Woo hoo! - Plumbing Near Me

The two Mikes did a great job removing and installing two new toilets (no small feat) and a water filtration system.

When my wall oven broke, I bought a new oven but realized none of the newer models would fit the cavity in my kitchen because the existing gas line and the pressure regulator from the cooktop were hitting the back of the oven. I called Core Plumbing for an evaluation. Tony was very thorough in his assessment, answered all of my questions and was very honest about the potential issues that we could run into. We would have to cut the drywall, move the gas line and modify the angle of the pressure regulator. Once I agreed to the scope of the work, Joseph and Mikey came out to complete it. They were very knowledgeable and methodical in their approach and were able to complete the work. Their work was very high quality and they were even able to install the oven and verify that everything looked good. This was a project that multiple companies had refused since it was difficult to get right so I'm thankful that Core Plumbing was able to help me with this! read more

Grant was really nice to have helped me today. Core Plumbing has been doing my neighbors Plumbing work for last 20 years!

They provided really great service, and they were available same day. Highly recommend

Core Plumbing's service was exceptional in every way. First, they identified a significant carbon monoxide (CO) risk. Then they recommended a proper solution to that risk and performed the required work in an exemplary manner to ensure maximum safety for the dwelling's occupants. Their crew also installed a new tankless water heater in a location with very restricted access, again demonstrating the highest quality technical skill and customer service. In summary, our experience with Core Plumbing was outstanding in every respect, and I heartily recommend Core Plumbing to anyone who needs first-rate plumbing work performed. read more

Great job at a very reasonable price. The tech technician was extremely professional cleaned up after himself and yes, we'll use them again!

we're repeat customers and just had another excellent experience. We upgraded our waters heaters with a water-softening system. Grant from Core put together an estimate, recommended cleaning and flushing the existing system, and sent Mike out the very next day to do the work. They alert you when they are on the way, are always on time, and I can reach them by text or phone immediately. Fabulous company. read more

They did an excellent job, were friendly and efficient from start to finish, and I have no hesitation in recommending Core Plumbing for any plumbing needs you may have. It was a good experience from the initial visit by Tony who explained what my options were so that I could make an informed decision, to the actual installation a few days later. read more

Highly unreliable for time-sensitive jobs. I booked Core Plumbing via Yelp for an urgent garbage disposal repair and set an arrival window. As the time approached, they called to postpone to the next window. When that second window rolled around, they called back to reschedule for the next day. Relying on their promised schedule forced me to hold up other service providers. Save yourself the frustration and hire a company that respects your time. read more

This is an edit to a previously posted review. I had some concerns about the price of the service I received, and the fact that the water supply to my toilet had been left disconnected. Within an hour of posting the review, Tim from Core Plumbing contacted me. He explained that the higher cost was due to water jetting the line, as opposed to just cabling it. I understand, and I did approve the work. Also, he apologized for them leaving the toilet supply disconnected, and he did compensate me for my time. All-in-all a good service. Would recommend. read more

Issues with my water heater not venting. Got multiple quotes, he comes in and also sees it's not venting (like I already knew and called him for). After trying to quote me many thousands more than last guy, he also tells me if I don't get it fixed right away he will call fire department and get my gas shut off after I declined his initial quotes for full replacement. I told him I can just turn off water heater, and no safety issue. He kept making threats to intimidate me into instant service and I declined. He then reported me to SDGE after I declined to cave into his threats. Would never work with tbis guy. Simply turning off heater until it's fixed is solution. Now he's trying to get my gas shut off so I can't heat my home or use the stove. What a complete joke this is. Other plumber quoted me $600 he comes in and tries to fleece me for $8000 worth of extra stuff I don't need. read more
