Our 15 year old water heater started leaking and I called our go to plumbing company that we have been 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. read more

A few weeks ago we woke up to find a bubble in our dining room ceiling from water that had been filling 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. read more

CAREFUL WITH THESE GUYS... I had a water heater blow up and jumped on Yelp and found these guys to replace my 75 gallon water heater based on the many positive reviews. They were great in sending a wonderful tech out quickly and gave me an estimate of $6500 with no breakdown of where they were getting this number. After asking multiple times if they could separate the parts, haul away and labor cost to explain how they came up with this number when the heater was 1700.00, I had reached out to A and G Plumbing who was referred to me by my neighbor. They came today and installed the exact same water heater quoted. Did a wonderful job in 3 hours, cleaned everything up and hauled the other heater away for $4100. It goes to show to trust your gut if something feels off, it likely is. And in times like these, everybody needs to be careful in not paying an absorbent amount of money for something that is unneeded. I would've paid unnecessarily $2400 more. We call that the "laguna beach tax" Stay well, fellow Yelpers! RESPONSE TO STEVE's REPLY BELOW: Thanks for your response. I'm not sure you're fully aware of what actually happened, because based on your reply, it seems there may have been some miscommunication with your team. At no point did I believe the job should cost $1,700. In fact, I specifically questioned the pricing because it felt high to me. I asked your assistant for a detailed breakdown of the quote so I could better understand the costs. During that conversation, I was told the heaters were marked up 50%, but based on the numbers, the markup was closer to 67%. I want to be clear: I am absolutely willing to pay fairly for labor and expertise. However, like any customer, I expect transparency, especially when something feels off. I requested a cost breakdown and was told it would be sent to me, but I never received it. (SEE TEXTS) During my call with your assistant (I apologize for not remembering her name), she also mentioned that you markup retail pricing on parts. As someone who works as a broker, I'm familiar with industry standards. I have access to wholesale pricing and typically receive a 20-40% discount depending on the work I do to find wholesalers, but I would never sell a product to a client for more than they could purchase it themselves, that's not ethical. Standard practice is to source parts at the best wholesale rate and sell them at or near retail, not significantly above it. Regarding bringing everything "up to code," the only addition needed was an expansion tank. A&G Plumbing (San Juan Cap) completed the entire job, including that addition, for $4,100 (invoice provided). As for the circulating pump, I clearly stated I did not need a replacement since mine was functioning properly and had only been installed four years ago. I was told it would be removed from the quote that had not even been sent, yet it was included. It's also worth noting that I was initially quoted $6,500 over the phone based on photos--before your technician even came out. I'm not sure why unnecessary items were still included on the quote after I explicitly declined them. As for the complexity of the installation, A&G had no issues. They used the elevator (no stairs involved) and completed the job in about three hours. The setup was exactly as shown in my original photos, nothing unusually complicated. I also want to highlight that after requesting a breakdown multiple times, I still never received one. After waiting, I followed up via text and was told your assistant had to leave for an appointment, despite having spoken with her 1.5 hours earlier when she said she would send it. This lack of follow-through is a major concern. Ultimately, I received the same service, with the same parts and required upgrades, for $2,400 less. That raises valid questions. Without transparency, it's hard not to feel that the pricing was inflated. This review isn't meant to attack, but to share my experience honestly. As a customer, I believe it's reasonable to expect a clear, itemized estimate, especially for a significant expense. I hope this feedback helps improve communication and transparency for future customers. read more

Excellent company. Will use again. I checked with two other plumbing companies in the area. They beat their price by around 100 dollars and the other by 213 dollars for the same work. They all had pictures of the work that needed to be done so it was comparing apples to apples. read more

I had a great experience with Efficient Plumbing. They came out for a water leak detection when I noticed water was seeping out from the floor of my laundry room and creating a puddle. I originally thought something had spilled or the washing machine had leaked and I dried it up only to notice the water leak came back the next day. They were able to make me a same day appointment and send out their plumber Hector who came out quickly and performed water leak detection. He found a slab leak that had been causing issues for quite some time. I had been getting a higher than normal water bill for the last two months but didn't think much of it. The team was professional, honest, and explained everything clearly before starting the plumbing repairs. They repaired the pipe leak by doing a reroute in PEX of that single copper line that was going from my laundry room to my guest bathroom shower. They were efficient and left everything clean afterward. They did suggest a whole house repipe as an alternative long term solution but it is something I will have them do eventually. I really appreciated their responsiveness and quality workmanship. Highly recommend them if you need reliable plumbing services! read more

Writing a review for the rare and amazing customer service I received. I originally scheduled a service for an outdoor irrigation connection but was a bit skeptical that I even needed their service at all. Instead of coming out for the appointment and charging me, the plumber called and walked me through my concern, solving the problem over the phone. While I did not end up using their services, if I never need a plumber in the future, I will absolutely call Efficient Plumbing. read more

We had an excellent experience with Efficient Plumbing. They were very reasonably priced and initially came out just to perform an inspection, but ended up fully diagnosing and fixing the issue in under an hour. Not only did they save us money by avoiding unnecessary work, but their level of professionalism was outstanding from start to finish. Titus, in particular, was exceptional. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and immediately understood the problem and the best way to resolve it. It was clear he knew exactly what he was doing, and he took the time to ensure everything was handled properly. I would absolutely recommend Efficient Plumbing to anyone looking for honest, efficient, and professional service. read more

Efficient Plumbing was a life saver and quick to respond to my call when I noticed water suddenly dripping through the light fixture of my ceiling. Evelin was quick to answer the phone, was upfront with the cost of the initial visit and leak detection. Within the hour we had Titus show up. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and quickly got to work to find our leak. He discovered a pin hole leak on a copper pipe. The repair was made and our water was back on shortly after that. The price was fair and the process of the work was thoroughly explained as well as an upfront cost before the work was started. They are a small family business and do great work. I highly recommend! read more

Efficient Plumbing is exactly what its name indicates - EFFICIENT! We had a toilet/shower clog that my snake couldn't move. Talked to them on Monday morning around 9:30 and they had Hector show up in about an hour. Hector was not only professional, but also very personable. He got right into the task and using his power auger he was able to make short work of the problem. He then explained what caused the problem and what he did to fix it. This is the 1st time we've needed a plumber since moving into this house and we now have a go to plumbing company if (when) we need one again. read more

We purchased a home recently that needed the under the kitchen sink pipe changed from an S trap to a P trap per city code. I called and spoke to a nice professional woman named Evelyn who booked us an appointment with Titus, their licensed and bonded plumber. I was able to communicate what we needed through text with her including a picture which was helpful. She got back to me same day with a fair price. Our appointment was for today Friday, August 15th 2025. Titus was on time with all of his supplies ready to go! Nice knowledgeable man who listened and communicated effectively. We are a wear covers over work boots please in our house and he had zero issues with that. He had clean over the shoe covers with him. He definitely knew his stuff. He worked hard and fixed the situation in a few hours. He left the work area clean. Work, parts and labor is under warranty for 30 days after appointment FYI. I would totally recommend Titus to anyone who needs a no nonsense, kind, experienced and capable plumber at a reasonable price to get the job done right! Thank you very much Titus and Efficient plumbing! read more

Efficient Plumbing has been my go to plumbers for a few of my properties around Mission Viejo.

Once again Efficient Plumbing came to my rescue! Our home had a slab leak. I decided to have the home repiped instead of just fixing the area which was leaking. Efficient Plumbing supplied me with a bid I was comfortable with and then told us it could be a two day job. The home was repiped in one day. The next day the drywall and stucco patch work was performed. I performed the painting on the drywall and stucco patch areas. The price of the job was a little higher than I was thinking but everything is at this point. The technicians on the job were wonderful. Steve the manager made daily visits to check on the job. Thank you Efficient Plumbing ! read more

This is our 3rd service call and since our last interaction, maintained their unwavering dedication to customer care and service quality from their owner Steve, who responded to my inquiry genuinely and promptly with upfront fees and very competitive pricing ( lowest quote we got among their competitors), to Evelin who facilitated the service workflow and made sure of a timely and efficient service call and to Titus who's mastery of his craft showed in his finished product coupled with his warm and very friendly demeanor. We are beyond satisfied with what we've paid for and for the great service we received. Thanks to all of you for going above and beyond. More power to Efficient Plumbing!!! Rey S. read more

I called on a Friday at noon to get 3 angle stop vales replaced under my kitchen sink. Dishwasher delivery installer could not do his work because the angle stop for the water line was corroded and he feared it would leak. That's why I called Efficient Plumbing. Evelyn answered the phone and I sent her pictures of the angle stops. She was able to provide an estimate and Hector arrived in about an hour. He was prepared and efficient at his work. After the job was done, the owner Steve called to make sure everything was satisfactory. We also talked about options for a whole house water conditioner. That may be the next thing I call them out to install. I'll be keeping them on my list of vendors for home maintenance. read more

Titus was great. Had some issues with the tub spout, but was able to resolve this. The other issue with the toilet flange was fixed rather quickly.

It would be nice to have a call/text/email on the morning of the repair just to confirm. I would definitely recommend them. read more

They did an excellent job on an emergency repair. Hector was friendly and efficient.

Five stars all around. My experience from beginning to end with the Efficient Plumbing staff was stellar. My call was answered and Evelyn was pleasant and helpful. I needed recommendations on faucets to purchase for a replacement. She had me send photos via text to the number I called her at (super efficient and easy) and she responded with links and where I could purchase ones that fit my need and budget. She gave a rough estimate of cost (that ended up very close to the grand total) and my appointment was set the same day. I was provided a time range of two hours on when to expect Titus' arrival. Come the day of the appointment I received a "heads up" text to expect Titus' arrival soon. Titus was professional and kind. He was able to clear our tub drain and replaced our faucet with little to no issues. The entire staff lives up to their name. Efficient all the way through and one of the nicest experiences with a plumbing company ever. They really know how to run an effective and reliable business, and as a customer (with a busy agenda) I really appreciated the ease of working with them. Definitely would recommend them and would call them in the future. They will go in the Rolodex as our friendly neighborhood plumber! read more

They came the next day. diagnosed the issue quickly and repaired it within a few hours. Tested and done. Before arriving, they had asked me to send pictures ahead of time. They saw there was clear water damage and offered to call a water damage company to help with the after repair work which would involve drying the wall interior and eventual repair. Both things that plumbers don't do themselves. I'm satisfied with the work. Would call again. read more
