I've been meaning to share my review, and after our third experience with Christian and crew, I can't delay any longer! We have owned our home for over 30 years and have had multiple plumbers providing service ranging from clogged sinks to major pipe leaks. Of all the multiple plumbers and plumbing companies we've experienced, hands down, Emergency Response Plumbers have exceeded them all. They are everything you want when seeking a plumber -- professionalism, competence, cleanliness, courtesy, customer care, and fair pricing. It's dirty work, but they always show up with a friendly smile and a great attitude. Christian has always taken good care of us, whether it was a ceiling pipe repair or hydro jetting. He's also talked me through a drain repair, via phone! I cannot be happier with ERP, they consistently deliver quality service we can count on. Give them a try and you will see why! read more

Just wanted to write a review of the great work, professionalism, and customer service regarding my experience using Emergency Response Plumbers. Chris responded to a call over the weekend in the early hours of Sunday morning, I think it was about 3 a.m. There was a burst pipe that my oldest child notified me of. I woke up and turned off the water immediately. I looked for a plumbing company that would respond at that hour, as most companies were closed. I found Emergency Response Plumbers via Yelp. I called and had Chris answer the phone. We talked for about 20 minutes while Chris walked me through doing some minor assessment myself. He gave me the option of either himself or another technician coming to the property with an emergency visit fee or waiting until the next business day. In a household of five, with one being a three year old, I just needed the repairs done immediately and running water working as soon as possible. With multiple people now waking up and needing to use the bathrooms and no running water... I didn't see waiting as a viable option. Also, washing the three-year-old's hands has become as frequent as breathing. The kid is always getting into something. This was an immediate emergency. Chris came out, assessed the situation, and completed the repairs himself. All while answering my million questions regarding what he viewed from within the walls (the house is a little older, and I just thought since the walls were open, why not). He also walked me through all the repairs he was completing. Overall, it was great work, great service, and great patience. I ask a lot of questions trying to understand things. These guys are thorough professionals. Thank you, Emergency Response Plumbers. read more

Update and response this unethical company. Of course there would be a long drawn out response to my review because subpar service and gentle egos cannot handle criticism. I did mention that we requested to utilize the part that we purchased. Whatever "debris" referred to was minimal at best and the response is a gross exaggeration. WE NEVER ASKED FOR A DISCOUNT. Simply questioned why they would charge $350 for a part that cost them a UNDER $50. There was an adult present to greet and work with the repair guy, so again, another exaggeration. Again, we highly suggest to seek other businesses. An owner that is caustic, abusive and then lies in response suggests a weak ego rather than polished professional. Do better. read more

As my kitchen started to flood, while a pipe broke outside beginning to flood front yard I was in dire need of an emergency plumbing service! Turned to Yelp and was blessed when Chris answered my call. Elesban worked into the night to fix pipes outside and shut everything off in the kitchen while I figured out my next step. Thereafter, Chris was instrumental in educating me on my choices. After choosing my new hardware, their estimate was more than fair for the amount of work it would take to replace everything (it was decades old and broken.) The fixtures, parts, etc were accurately ordered and arrived quickly. Thereafter, the installation went smoothly and the outcome is perfect. Throughout, they were professional, had timely communication and above all - transparent and honest! Consider this company first for fair, reliable plumbing! Truly, they went above and beyond. read more

We are very pleased with the services provided by Chris and Christian and Elasban their team at Emergency Response Plumbers. The main water line from the meter to the house broke and we had out of town guests arriving the following day. We were stressed! But Chris was able to make a temporary water connection so we and our guests had water the next day. What a relief! Then he and his team returned in a couple days and completed a permanent repair. Their service was prompt, professional and very considerate. They were very easy to deal with. They were not the cheapest, but their price was reasonable and their timing was the best. We highly recommend them and we will definitely hire them again when necessary. read more

350 dollars to show up on Sunday vs wait til Wednesday. Seems pretty harsh. Passing on this one read more

I tried for several days to get a plumber to respond to my phone calls with absolutely no luck after four days of living without a kitchen sink that I could use... I called ERPat at 6:30 in the morning and they responded within 30 minutes. They were able to send out a plumber within a few hours and Cristian did a fantastic job explaining each phase of his process and showing me where the issues were. They were very clean and respectful of my home while the pricing seemed more than I anticipated I believe I would call them simply for the peace of mind, knowing that they would be thorough and respectful and prompt. read more

Wow! I called because my water heater wasn't running, and I was struggling to get the pilot to kick on. Hector walked me through the process and saved us at 10pm. What an amazing experience! read more

Chris and Elesban were great. They explained my options, provided transparent pricing, and the work they did ended up being very thorough and professional. I would definitely recommend them! They worked hard and provided video of the work they did and left my kitchen in great shape when they finished. read more

Possibly the only REAL emergency plumber in my area. Break a pipe at 4pm on a holiday? Are your neighborhood plumbers with "emergency service" on their website available? Noop. ERP was - and they responded promptly Was it a good value? I have no idea. It was an emergency situation that I created, so I wasn't in position to negotiate. But, did they respond, when no one else would? YES Were they professional? Mm-hmm Is the repair still holding up? YESSIR What else can you ask for? Highly recommend ERP! read more

I tried to unclog a drain myself. Failed. I called them and they were here in a jiffy. Did a great job. Went above and beyond the service requested. He was polite and welcomed me to watch and learn. Elesban did a great job, read more

I run a home daycare and was home with four babies when I noticed dripping from my ceiling and a bubble forming under the drywall. I couldn't wait for service. ERP was able to get to my house in a little over an hour! Christian was super friendly and professional, and me and the kids felt comfortable the whole time. He explained everything as it was happening. Found the leak and repaired it in a few hours and answered all of my questions, giving advice on non related issues he saw as well. He cleaned up like he hadn't been there at all! Honestly I'm not sure how the pricing compares to others because I didn't shop around, but he was upfront with the costs before proceeding with each step and it seemed like a normal charge for the scope of the work. Really great experience, definitely recommend. read more

Emergency Response Plumbers are amazing! They will tell you exactly what the issue is and what needs to be done. When it comes to plumbing they are the best and they won't try to up sell you. Christian and his team are professional and dependable. I would recommend all my family and friends to them. read more

I would not recommend this company at all! If there's a zero , I would've gladly gave it. The plumber over charge for a 1.5 to 2 hr job just to change or install a new shower Moen Posi -temp cartridge for $842 minus his $150 service fee. What a highway robbery. Beware when making an appointment because they' would be nice but when you've made an appointment you're stuck with a big bill. Showed his work and bill and other plumber from 3 different companies were laughing at me and said I was conned. It was just unfortunate I was out town and my relative signed who didn't know much about the cost of repair approved it and paid it. Just beware of this company! read more

Emergency Response Plumbers (ERP)! They were awesome. Needed to have leak detected & repaired. Job completed in Professional manner. Situation- leak (hissing noise coming from inside wall - more noticeable from outside than inside house). Response- quick. After another plumbing company reneged their online promise to show up on that day ERP's quick response was impressive. Great customer service provided by Christopher to set up my appt. Very efficient- great listener, clear communicator. Initially, his company was booked for that day but after explaining my situation he made it a point to get to my home same day. Christopher & Christian both arrived within the agreed time frame of 12-1pm. They quickly diagnosed the problem, found the pinhole leak and repaired the faulty pipe area. The explanation of each step was very well done and all questions asked were handled with great care, in my opinion. The ERP team were polite from beginning to Project completion. Shoe covers used inside the house, neat, organized and post work clean up was excellent. Trustworthy Company. They will treat your home with respect and great care. I am considering whole house repiping and ERP is at the top of my list. read more

TL;DR - Hire this company. You will never be disappointed. Some things worth noting before I dive into this review, I've worked with this company 4 times now on various pluming issues around my house. My house is about 50 years old with almost all of the original plumbing still in place and we have incredibly hard, corrosive water. Additionally, I'm the kind of person who genuinely enjoys teaching myself and learning how to do DIY handyman stuff but I also know when I've hit my limit and a professional needs to be called in. Now on to the review: My relationship with this company started back in 2019 when my roommate and I were leaving to go out to dinner and I noticed water pouring out of our water heater and all over the garage floor. Our old water heater had totally broken down and we needed a fix ASAP. We did what most people do when they don't have "a guy" they can call. We went on yelp to find the best rated plumbers near us and that's how we found ERP. They came out quickly the next day, installed a new water heater, were incredibly professional during the whole process, and hauled away our old one. It was the perfect interaction for the a first time using a new repair service. Fast forward to September of this year (2025) and a few days before my roommate and I were set to go out of town, we noticed one of our toilets was continuously running. My roommate decided to take the toilet's tank lid off to investigate and the fill valve basically exploded in his face. We scrambled to get the water turned off to the house and reached out to ERP again for an emergency call. Christian was able to send one of his employees out within an hour (around 7pm on a week day) and came to our rescue. We didn't have him fix the fill valve since we're planning on replacing the whole toilet soon anyway but we did have him install a new shut off valve at the wall which was more involved than usual since our super hard water had corroded the original valve into a broken crusty mess. He was incredibly professional, skilled, and very kind during the entire process. A+ work once again. Now we're in October (only a few days ago) and I guess our first broken shut off valve inspired the rest of the plumbing in our house to fall apart and once again, we called ERP to save us. The 3rd call didn't actually involve anyone coming out but was an experience I'll remember for the rest of my life. I called around 9pm on Tuesday (10/22) in a panic because my attempt to replace the shut off valves under one of my bathroom sinks was not going well (thanks to the aforementioned 50 year old crustiness) and we just needed to get the situation to a state where we could turn our water back on for the night. I got Christian on the phone again right as he was about to go to bed and this man I swear is a literal saint. Not only did he take my call, he stayed up for an extra hour and walked my roommate and I through everything over the phone so water would stop pouring out of the half finished shut off valve mess I'd created. He didn't charge us for his time or anything. He just genuinely wanted to help us out of our bind and with that action, he secured 2 customers for life. Finally we reached yesterday, Thursday (10/24). I knew my battle to defeat the crust was beyond my capabilities and I called ERP out again for the save. By now Christian was aware of my DIY interests and attempts to fix things on my own. I had all the parts, most of the tools but nowhere near enough knowhow or lived experience. He came out and not only fixed what I couldn't, he also took the time to look over the work I'd done already, make a few adjustments, and let me work alongside him on my leaky shower while he worked under my sink. It was truly an experience I'll never forget. Christian was so welcoming and kind to let me hang around him asking questions, handing him tools, and teaching me all kinds of things while he worked for 3 hours on shut off valves, sink handles, my shower, and THE WORST crusted over sink drain in the history of the world (no joke!). He had zero obligation to do so much extra work, spend so much extra time, and extra energy but he did it because he truly cares about his clients. Like I said before, ERP has customers for life now. read more

As a small apartment complex that's had many plumbers out for our vintage buildings in the past! We've have various issues and THIS TEAM has been ABLE TO RESOLVE ISSUES that were "fixed" in the past by others and circumvent future issues due to bad fixes by others!!! Quality work, repairs and honesty. They're reliable and show up when they schedule. Thanks guys, Jan read more

Great guys. Had an underslab leak. Christian and his little brother came right out, found the guilty pipe and capped it, so leak no more. Considering them for the upcoming re-piping job I will need in a few months too. read more

My son's shower head went from tiny drips from time to time to a true leak, so I had to stop avoiding the issue and call a plumber. The plumber I used to work with retired, so I read a lot of yelp and google reviews before choosing ERP. Christian answered my call, was very polite and scheduled my appointment quickly. They texted to confirm the appt time, and to alert you when they are en route to your house. Christian was very nice, wore shoe covers to protect our floors and kept his work area very clean. He was able to fix my leaky shower head, replace the whole unit and do everything quickly and efficiently for a fair price. I would definitely recommend them! read more

I contacted Christian 6 months ago and always remembered if i have a true plumbing problem to call him back. He was honest and sincere and I prefer to give my business to such people. I couldnt figure out how to edit my old review, so i just made this new one. Well i had a plumbing issue and called him. My kitchen sink and dishwasher had backed up and the water wasnt draining anymore. He went there and fixed the problem (food stuck) AND recommended how to resolve the issue in the future (appliance issue). He even took his time to use a camera and showed me what was going on! This company uses actual technology to really get to bottom of issue and not just guessing like some other plumbers do. The price was affordable and they are my go-to going forward for all plumbing needs. Thank you Christian! Appreciate you & your family's business for serving our OC families! read more

Christian was quick to respond to my call and came out within a few hours to help with our plumbing issue. He was very transparent regarding plumbing and the fee for an emergency call, so there were no surprises! He was sweet to my children as well, which is always heart warming as a mother who may be uncomfortable with strangers in their home alone. He was incredibly kind and made me feel at ease. He got to work and quickly solved our issues and took the time to educate me on next steps and how to prevent issues in the future. It's easy to tell that he isn't here to just do a job, but is truly a kind man who takes pride in his work. I definitely would recommend ERP to friends and family! read more

I didn't hire this company because the scope of my project was beyond the level of liability they were willing to take on--but they still went above and beyond to help me. They took the time to explain everything to me in detail over the phone, far more thoroughly than any plumber who actually came to my home. It's rare to find a company that's genuinely helpful even when there's no job involved. In this case, it really was the intention and professionalism that stood out. I truly appreciated their honesty and willingness to guide me even without a sale. read more

Honest and transparent. Chris and Elesbin answered my emergency call and were at my house two hours later on a Saturday. They found a bigger problem then expected after finding lots of roots in my pipes and stayed until 11pm to make sure they left me with a working toilet before coming back on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to complete the install of a two way clean out valve, lined my 100 year old sewage pipe, and cosmetically put back the pavers that were removed during the job. Good quality and communication. read more

Had an appointment on short notice. Elesbon (hope I spelled his name correctly) arrived exactly at 10:30 AM (the appointment was scheduled for 10:30 - 12:30 window). He was pleasant and professional. After a brief description of our plumbing issue, he went to work. He was thorough and showed me the work he did. He flushed out the clog and checked the pipes for leaks. No pushy salesmanship. We plan on using them again as we highly recommend their services. read more

We have used ERP for some years now and highly recommend them. A wet area appeared in the kitchen ceiling and having already repiped the house some years ago I didn't know what had happened. Chris was amazing gave us some options of what may be the cause and scheduled a diagnostic evaluation the next day. The result was a leaking toilet in the Master bathroom. They are very respectful of your property, do an excellent job and Chris explained everything in great detail so we knew what to expect. read more

I can't say I was excited to learn that my water heater needed to be replaced but the Emergency Response team made it a pleasant experience. On time, professional, gave options and provided expertise on installation. Highly recommended for quality service. read more

I had water building up on the side of my house near the garage and I had no idea where it was coming from. I was worried it might be a slab leak or something underground. Chris and Elesban came out really quickly and did a super thorough inspection. They checked everything and used all kinds of equipment to look for any leaks or moisture. They explained everything clearly as they went and helped me understand how the plumbing works in my house. In the end they found no leaks on my side, which was a big relief. The water was probably runoff from a broken sprinkler or underground issue upslope from another property. They also gave me a detailed report that was really helpful in resolving the issue. Overall great service and I'd definitely recommend them. read more

We discovered that gas was leaking in our home and needed to replace some parts in our gas line. ERP responded very quickly, and Christian called to collect details and talk me through the process. He came the next day, did a thorough inspection and found the leaks. He explained what we needed, how much it would cost, and assured me that he would not leave until all the leaks were taken care of. He replaced the parts, did a final pressure test, and everything worked perfectly. We are thankful and would highly recommend Christian to take care of your gas plumbing needs. Christian was also very friendly, personable, and a family man. It was a delight to work with him. read more

Christopher is the best of the best!! He arrived ahead of schedule and listened to my current concerns before starting any work. He was professional, clean, friendly and knowledgeable.

Quick response and Christian was very knowledgeable. Very expensive and could only guarantee the work for six months.

Amazing all around! We had a bad leak happen while installing our bidet so I looked for a 24 hour plumber. Thank God I came across this page. I called at 3:30 and by 4:30 I had two experienced techs at my house. Christian and Mike diagnosed the problem fast, were transparent about the price, professional and very kind. I am amazed they were able to take care of this issue so quickly. They totally put me at ease. I was panicky and anxious since I thought this would be a super long and pricey process but was pleasantly surprised. They even helped me with my fridge before they left. Definitely would use them again and recommend them to friends and family. read more

ERP is without a doubt the best and most professional option for your household plumbing needs. As loyal customers, we have relied on them for several years for both large and small projects with both urgent and non-urgent issues. Living in a beach community in a nice but older home there are many of those issues, unique to coastal living. For those of you who value relationships, this is a family founded and run business and they are always polite and professional. Recently we had an issue with a broken bolt on our toilet that had deteriorated due to wear. It just so happened that ERP was making a service call to the house next door. They came over...just to say hi...and I explained our situation. They took care of the repair perfectly at the same time they were here in the neighborhood and everything is perfect. Thank you! If any of you reading this are also living in a coastal community I recommend budgeting and scheduling an annual maintenance checkup with ERP. Schedule a visit and let them come up and do an evaluation and diagnostic so that you do not get caught without vital plumbing needs on a day when you need your house to work perfectly. We've all been there. Chris and his team will make sure that it is done the right way, the first time. Thank you again to the entire team at ERP. Daniel A. MacKenzie Dana Point, CA read more
