Pressure regulator in my garage
Priscilla B.

My technician Joseph M. Did a great job replacing my pressure regulator and ball valve. He adequately explained what the issue was and demonstrated how my water pressure was too high. He did the job quickly and we worked out a great price for his services. I would hire the company again for any future plumbing jobs.

After photo - new wax ring installed
Bruski N.

They quoted us $4,250 to fix our clogged toilet. I was at an event but our niece was there when they came to give an estimate. Seeing how young and inexperienced she was, they tried to pull a scare tactic when they lifted the toilet and saw some micro roots at the top of the drain. They claimed that the roots cracked the pipe and they must excavate the soil up to 3 feet deep to access and repair the pipe. Additional fees would be charged if they couldn't get a clean pipe cut. They also said that they would not be responsible for putting back the tiles that were removed to repair. Luckily, my niece contacted me and I was able to assess the problem from the photos that she sent. There were micro-roots but they were too small to crack the pipe. In fact, with all houses (especially old ones), you will find roots near any areas with moisture. Once in a while, these roots can crack old pipes and clog them up. But in our case, I could tell that the micro-roots came up from the outside of the pipe and started to cover the rim of the drain. All you have to do is pull, clear, and clean them out. I asked the plumber why he didn't do that but he insisted that the roots cracked the pipe and he must excavate the bathroom to fix it. By this time, I knew that we were being scammed, and I told him to just put it back so I could get another plumber who was honest and willing to do the right thing. He said fine but we owed them $500 for his work. I brought up their free estimate advertisement but he insisted the charge was for unscrewing two screws, lifting the toilet, using the snake to look down and assess the problem, and putting the toilet back. I couldn't believe what I was hearing but since my niece didn't know and thought it was part of the free estimate. I asked him how much less if he didn't put back the toilet. He called his boss and came back with $400 total for basically a quick 30-minute estimate/evaluation. After the plumber left, I contacted my brother-in-law. He came over to help out. We easily cleared, cleaned, and put back the toilet in less than 40 minutes. There were no cracks. My intuition and assessment were correct and saved us at least $4000 of our hard-earned money. It ended up costing an additional $14.83 for a new wax ring and a tube of caulking. A big lesson learn is that most businesses that use Discount as part of their names will usually charge you a lot more than whatever they are discounting. Don't throw your hard-earned money in the toilet. We are never going to use Discount Plumbing SD again!

Tankless water heater flushing.
Nacho R.

I recently had the pleasure of experiencing a tankless water heater flush service from Discount Plumbing Rooter, and I cannot recommend them highly enough! Our technician, Javier Diaz, arrived promptly and was incredibly knowledgeable and professional throughout the process. Javier took the time to explain the benefits of flushing our tankless water heater, emphasizing how it helps improve efficiency and prolongs the lifespan of the unit. He meticulously and efficiently handled the entire procedure, ensuring that everything was done to the highest standard. I appreciated his attention to detail and care in protecting our home during the service. After the flush, Javier provided helpful tips on maintaining our system, which showed his commitment to customer education and satisfaction. Our water heater is now performing better than ever, and we have already noticed improved water flow and temperature consistency. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and I am grateful for Javier's expertise and the excellent service provided by Discount Plumbing Rooter. If you need tankless water heater service, look no further--these are the professionals you want! Thank you, Javier!

This is Javier .. great Plumber

Javier at Discount Plumbing and Rooter responded immediately and was here within an hour to estimate the job. We went over several alternatives including different pressure regulator valve types and pipe routing. I was very pleased with the quote which was about half of another estimate I'd received. He showed up the next day on time and did a great job in 3 hours. I'd recommend them to anyone else with plumbing issues.

I hired CM Jetting Services & Camera Inspections after talking to Carlos and telling me their…read morepricing was "extremely competitive." I had a feeling the quote was on the higher side, but I trusted that statement and moved forward. Shortly after, I started getting callbacks from other companies like Drain Mob and All American Plumbing and their quotes came in 30-40% lower for the same scope of work. That was frustrating. To be fair, Carlos seems knowledgeable and I don't have any complaints about the quality of the work itself which he deserves 5 stars. However, I do feel misled on the pricing (subtract 1 star) When I brought this up to him, instead of having a professional conversation and addressing the difference by offering to match their prices, he became defensive, raised his voice, and even called me "cheap." That response felt unprofessional and unnecessary (subtracted 2 more stars) Being told your rates are competitive when they're significantly above market and then being treated that way when you question it just doesn't sit right with me. If you're considering this company, I'd strongly recommend getting multiple quotes first so you can make a more informed decision.

Thanks for a job well done. Carlos hydro-jetted and flushed my stormdrains. It was not an emergency…read morebut he was able to fit me in his schedule right away. He offered advice for corrections to some of the issues that were discovered.

Thanks again Ruben and California Plumbing for being so trusted and dependable!!! Kindest regards, Louie Monterrey

California Plumbing was able to quickly get a team out to our house to make their own assessment. The team at California Plumbing presented the situation to us in clear terms that gave us confidence in their knowledge and abilities. Their pricing came in much more realistic than the "other guys" and the team was able to get out to the house almost immediately (within a day) to get the permanent fix completed. No one likes dealing with their sewer lines, especially during an emergency, but California Plumbing made the process less stressful and gave us confidence that the repairs had been done right.

Of course this had to happen late on a holiday weekend. I got a call from our office saying the…read moretoilets were backing up. We had already scheduled everyone to go home early, but we still had to deal with the issue. This has happened before, and we own a drain snake. A couple of our technicians grabbed the snake and ran it through the clean-out. But Murphy's Law kicked in, and this time the clog wouldn't budge. After an exhausting effort--and now two hours past our "go home early" time--our techs called and said it was a "No Go." I called a couple of drain services to get a ballpark estimate (we've had a bad experience before--see my 1-star review on Yelp). Both companies told me they couldn't give a price until they saw it. Then I called DrainHelp and spoke with Ali. I asked for the cost, and he clearly explained the pricing for both snaking and hydro-jetting. I told him I'd call him back after checking in with our techs one more time. Five minutes later, he called me back and said he was already en route and would arrive in about 20 minutes if we still needed him--otherwise he would head back to the shop. I told him to come to the office. He arrived 10 minutes later, took one look at the issue, and had it unclogged in under five minutes. Ali was friendly, professional, and extremely helpful. I highly recommend him and DrainHelp for your drain needs. .

This company was unprofessional from the moment they showed up. The tech arrived much later than…read morescheduled, and the owner kept changing the price and arguing about the scope -for a straightforward capping job that any competent plumber should be able to handle without drama. The real issue, though, was the owner's behavior. He sent an invoice with a clear due date, then instantly started harassing me for payment before the due date even came. He became hostile, confrontational, and started shouting through text messages. It was aggressive, uncomfortable, and wildly unprofessional. The actual work was fine, but the way this company communicates is chaotic, disrespectful, and completely out of line. I genuinely regret hiring them. There are plenty of skilled plumbers in San Diego... save yourself the stress and choose literally anyone else. In response to your words below: I'm genuinely surprised by this response, especially considering it proves exactly why my experience was so stressful. For clarity: 1. I was given multiple different prices and the scope of work was changed several times -- all documented in text. 2. Your tech arrived late and did not communicate professionally. 3. You sent me an invoice with a clearly stated due date and then began demanding immediate payment only minutes later, followed by insults and hostile messages. 4. I never "deducted" anything. I simply questioned the sudden price changes, which any customer would do. 5. Calling customers names when they ask questions is not "honest plumbing"-- it's unprofessional. The screenshots you included unfortunately reinforce my review. I paid according to the terms you yourself wrote, and your hostility afterward speaks for itself. I stand by my review and wish you the best, but I will not be using your services again.
