In 2019, when we purchased our home, we interviewed several companies for our sewer lateral replacement. From our very first interaction, Greg and the team at Streamline Plumbing stood out well above the rest. They were communicative, responsive, knowledgeable, punctual, efficient, and incredibly hardworking. The entire project was handled professionally and seamlessly, giving us confidence that we had made the right choice. Now, several years later, I noticed that the cement patch in our front sidewalk where the sewer line meets the street had settled and sunk. I reached out to Streamline Plumbing, sent a photo, and received an almost immediate response. Although I later learned that this type of repair is only covered for a limited period and was well beyond the warranty timeframe, Greg graciously came out and repaired it anyway. That kind of service is rare. It speaks volumes about the standards this family-owned business holds itself to and the pride they take in their work. They don't just complete a job and move on--they genuinely care about their customers and their reputation for quality. I recommend them without hesitation and would gladly trust them with any future plumbing work. Thank you for setting such a high bar for customer service and craftsmanship.

All the material needed for the job was on his truck, he completed the work in a timely manner and thoroughly cleaned up when done. Todd even pointed out that I didn't have an earthquake shut-off valve on my gas line and installed that as well. I would recommend Pacific Plumbing, and Todd, to anyone who is looking for good quality workmanship. They gave me a senior discount as well.

I was more focused on getting water service back not realizing that with a company with Rooter in the name , the focus is on speedy repairs and not quality. I got what I paid for. 90% of what they did was good. The other 10% I paid a real licensed plumber to come in and fix. There was poor communication or no communication from the owner ( who I assume is the licensee ) and his guys who are neither journeyman nor English speakers. I asked for them to run a new water service pipe through my foundation. During the walk through Chavo said no problem, he's got the drill. I'm replacing my stucco and that location makes it easier for the demo. I got home from work and his guy Nazario went through my foundation vent because that was faster making it difficult for me with the rest. of the scope of work. It looks terrible. Just poor workmanship.. It was then that I started to realize that they are focused on fast work , not quality work. There were 4-5 poorly done things and a few that were just stupid. . They did try to make it up by doing a few extras no charge like a hose connection and a vent repair. The main cause of me wanting to repipe was a failing manifold in the shower. What did they not do? Replace the shower manifold . I had to go buy one and have them install it after they put new pipe on the faulty manifold. This was after repeat conversations about this specifically . Just because someone says yes doesn't that mean they understand you. After install, it leaked worse than before and I had to remove a wall to access, and had a real plumber fix it, They broke a tile and the leak they left ruined my baseboard and I had to replace it. Again, this is my fault for hiring them after a recommendation from a friend. Without writing an epic tale, they did a few bone headed things that I had to call their boss and make them redo. They were in a hurry. Nazario , who may or may not still work there was disrespectful to my wife and chauvinistically did not listen to her . I had to come home from work early to make them stop and do what was clearly described in the estimate. He was combative and untruthful. He and the crew demonstrated a lack of ability to problem solve or think critically. There is another review illustrating this here. This company is probably very good at emergency repairs where no thinking is involved and they replace like for like copying what was there. For real plumbing, don't go with this company. I am currently a city building inspector . I could cite the code violations, but it was mostly poor workmanship , deviation from the contracted scope or incomplete work. . They were so bad I accused of them of a few things they were innocent of. As time passed I kept finding more things they screwed up. They told me they removed the old pipe. When I went into the crawl space ,3/4 of it was left behind. Nazario said there was no garbage , but I had to crawl underneath and haul it all out, I found another stash of old pipes in the crawl space today prompting this late review. If you need real plumbing, relocation or a layout change , this company is not for you. If you need an emergency replacement or repair done fast they are probably ok,

Outstanding Service! True Professionals Who Know What They're Doing!…read more I recently hired CALMO'S PLUMBING & ROOTER INC. to replace my sewer lateral, and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with the quality of their work, professionalism, and attention to detail. My project was anything but straightforward. The sewer line runs from my house to the city sewer main at the sidewalk, passing directly through a large tree's root system, with concrete stairs and a decorative retaining wall obstructing the path. It was an extremely challenging project, and before making my decision, I consulted several plumbing companies. Each brought up different concerns, potential complications, and reasons why certain portions of my property might have to be demolished. Then I met Rocael, the owner of Calmo's Plumbing & Rooter. Rocael personally came out to assess the entire project. He took the time to explain the process thoroughly, address every concern, and provide solutions to the obstacles other companies had raised. What impressed me most was his confidence, knowledge, and ability to explain exactly how he planned to complete the work while preserving as much of my property as possible. He assured me that the majority of my concrete stairs could be saved and that my decorative retaining wall would remain untouched. Considering the complexity of the job, that was a huge deal to me. After speaking with him, I felt completely confident trusting his company with the project. When the scheduled day arrived, Silverio and Albert, the crew assigned to my project, showed up right on time and immediately got to work. These guys were outstanding! They arrived fully equipped with everything necessary to complete the job. There was no unnecessary running back and forth for tools or materials, no wasted time, and no confusion. They worked efficiently, professionally, and with incredible attention to detail. At the end of each workday, they made sure the work area was properly secured and safe. Using a trenchless sewer replacement system, they successfully replaced the sewer lateral while preserving the decorative retaining wall and most of the existing concrete stairs. I was genuinely amazed by how they managed to accomplish this without damaging the surrounding structures. Once the new sewer line was installed, they carefully backfilled the excavated areas, restored the property, and even rebuilt the portions of the concrete stairs that had to be removed. The results exceeded my expectations! Another thing worth mentioning is that Calmo's handled the entire permitting and inspection process. They obtained the necessary permits, coordinated with the city, and arranged the final inspection. The city inspector approved the completed work without any issues. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, the entire process was handled so smoothly and professionally that it was almost unbelievable, especially considering how complicated this project was. On top of everything, Rocael gave me a competitive bid. CALMO'S PLUMBING & ROOTER INC. is a truly exceptional plumbing company. Their experience, technical knowledge, organization, and workmanship set them apart from the competition. I have dealt with many contractors over the years, and I can confidently say that finding a company that delivers this level of service is rare. I will absolutely be using Calmo's Plumbing & Rooter for all my future major plumbing projects. If you're looking for real professionals who know their trade, respect your property, and deliver exactly what they promise, look no further. This is the company you want. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about! Rocael, I personally want to thank you, Silverio, and Albert for the outstanding service you provided. You and your team have earned my respect, my trust, and my highest recommendation. Five stars without hesitation!

I was told to text photos of the project areas for a quote, which I did immediately. Though the messages were read, I never received a response or estimate. I followed up three times--three hours later, the next morning, and again later that day simply asking for a courtesy update if they weren't interested in taking on the job--and received zero reply. If a job is too small or your schedule is full, a simple "we're unable to take this on right now" goes a long way. Ghosting potential clients and screening calls is unprofessional and a huge waste of time.
