Jared installed two replacement toilets; identified and replaced a broken flange under one; tested the replacements; cleaned up thoroughly, as he went; and took away the old toilets and all packing matter, leaving me with no work to do. He was friendly and professional; a good communicator and listener; and time-effective. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. read more

We purchased a faucet fixture from Costco, and Jared installed it. The new faucet works well, looks good, and no leaks. Jared was respectful, professional and efficient, and he cleaned up the workspace after finishing. There was quite a bit of corrosion on the pipe connection, and it was a little bit of a bigger job than expected. Job was complete the day after I called to schedule. Communication was prompt. The business seems organized. A bit pricey but good quality service. read more

Jared arrived in time, and replaced our pipe quickly. We did not even known it was done untill he headed out Thank you! read more

5 stars -1 star for exorbitant fees -1 star for no warranty on fix ------------------------- 3 stars total For potential future "Expert Plumbing & Water Heaters" customers, you decide if I was fairly charged. (If the business responds with a creative story, I will definitely come back and edit my review to correct anything that is not 100% accurate.) Here are the facts. Summary: Paid $654.61 for a fix that took less than 26 minutes and 8 seconds to complete. The repair took place on a Saturday, so that was emergency plumbing rates. (All plumbers charge more for work outside of regular business hours.) $198 for the service call (had to pay in advance before they would come). $456.61 for the labor and parts (according to the invoice, parts were listed at zero cost). For the following calculations, will assume the parts were actually $20 meaning the labor costs were $436.61 (456.61 - 20). For simplification, I will round up the time spent fixing the problem from 26 minutes to 30 minutes. That means I paid $873.22 per hour for their plumber to do the actual fix (436.61 X 2). (Wow! Lawyers are around $400 to $600 per hour. Should have been a plumber.) Details: Elderly neighbor had a leak in her hot water PEX return pipe next to her hot water heater (Picture #1). Looked like an easy fix to me since access to the PEX pipe was at an accessible location, and it was PEX (easy to work with piping material, the easiest material one can use). Since water was spewing out everywhere, I had to shut off the water to the entire house. It was a Saturday, and I needed to find a plumber who could come that day and fix the leak, so I could turn back on the water to the house before I left and this neighbor. The house call was $198 and I needed to provide a credit card number in advance. Obviously, when they show up, they kind have you over a barrel. You already paid nearly $200 for them to show up. How high would their estimate need to go for you to decline their services? Although I was fully prepared for a high estimate--even though it was an easy fix--I was still surprised at how much they were going to charge to fix the leak. The length of time it took the plumber to prepare the price quote and talk it over with his boss back at the office before showing me the estimate was actually longer than it took him to fix the leak (I am not exaggerating). Using the stopwatch function on my cell phone, I timed the plumber from the moment he began the actual fix. When I returned 26 minutes and 8 seconds later, he had already finished. He was done! Wow, that was easy! Maybe it only took 20 minutes to complete? Maybe it took less than 20 minutes to complete? Don't know because he was already done when I returned. What exactly was the fix? They surmised the hole in the PEX might have been caused by excessive heat on the exterior of the pipe since it was located close to a hot water recirculation pump. (I agree that is the most likely reason for the failure but neither one of us was completely sure.) Instead of just replacing the PEX, they decided it would be wiser to replace the first section with copper piping (about 12" long) since it could tolerate much more exterior heat as compared to PEX. (I think that was a good call.) (Picture #2) They then attached new PEX to the new copper line at one end and attached the new PEX to the old PEX via some PEX fittings and a 90 elbow. Take a look at Pictures #2 and #3. Finally, they wrapped the new parts in pipe insulation (takes less than 3 minutes to do that), Picture #4. In reviewing the receipt, I just noticed the following statement: "Warranty: No warranty on repairs." I guess a warranty on the work they just completed would be extra. Doesn't seem they have much confidence in their work which is weird because they call themselves "Expert Plumbing...." How come "experts" can't guarantee their work, even a little bit? I think 30 days on a repair costing $654.61 would have been more reasonable and fair than "no warranty". (The receipt for the repair is Picture #5.) So if their repair sprung a leak the following day, I would have to pay them to return and fix their repair which they just completed a day before? That just doesn't seem fair. I think situations like this are a great opportunity for a plumbing company. It is outside of normal business hours. The customer needs a fix ASAP since the water is shutoff to the house. They charge a lot to just come to the home. Why not charge an exorbitant amount for the actual fix? What options does the customer really have? If you say "no", then you are out $200 and have no water to the house, and then you need to find another plumbing company. There are no good options in situations like this and they know that. Was I fairly charged or did they see an opportunity and take full advantage of it? You decide. read more

Terrific service. The technician arrived on time and fixed the issue with our shower drain quickly.

Jose and Moe showed up within a few hours. They assessed my toilet bubbling and dirty water in bathtub. It was old sewer line that had cracks and tree root invasion. Moe explained options and i decided to replace it with a new pipe line approx 30'. Also add a clean-out.

Jared was very professional and did a wonderful job. He worked late on a Friday night to get the job done!

Installed tankless water heater to replace power vent heater. Much quieter. Done on time. No surprises.

We had a power surge which took out many appliances and our hot water on a Saturday night. By the following Friday Moe and Jared in the field, Sara and Miguel in the back office had figured out the problem, worked through some different solutions and had the whole thing ordered, fitted and working by the following Friday, several days ahead of schedule. Moe and Jared were polite, knowledgeable and capable inspectors and installers. Sara kept everyone in the communications loop and Miguel completed all the paperwork effectively and quickly. We found everyone professional, polite and easy to work with. The options were clearly explained; the purchasing process was smooth and the installation faultless.

Expert Plumbing & Water Heaters - New water heater. - Plumbing Near Me

We've hired Expert Plumbing to solve our plumbing issues for the last 7 years. Most recently, our hot water heater died... but it's not your standard hot water heater as it supplies hot water for the house, hot water for the radiant heating. It also has a unique, PVC-based exhaust system. The heater that died is no longer made and the guys at Expert Plumbing did the research for me to help find the best solution and spent the day removing the old system and installing the new one. I recommend them as they're efficient and professional. read more

He explained my options, did a thorough repair, tested to be sure it was well done, and cleaned up after himself. It's great to have a plumbing company that has earned my trust. read more

Jose did an awesome job installing a water heater. Put the cut off valve just where I requested it. I've depended on Expert Plumbing for years. read more

This was the second Plumber we used after going to Mr. Router three different times. This place because of their reviews I found online because I didn't want to take the risk again of having the same problem happen with our kitchen sink. Long story short is they discovered a pipe that had fallen from the secure area under the house and was bent. Mr. Rooter continued to come out and flush, which only temporarily solve the problem. These guys came in and fixed it and explained exactly what had happened and what went wrong. They replaced 12 feet of pipe which was very much appreciated. It wasn't cheap, but they did a thorough job and their Customer Service is excellent. read more

Had a water heater fail at 7 PM Friday night. Contacted Expert Plumbing through Yelp. They got in touch within 10 minutes of my request and were able to schedule next-day service. Their estimator gave an arrival window of between 9 am and 11 am. Moe arrived at about 9:30. He gave a very reasonable estimate, and when he learned that the house was without hot water, he was able to move some other appointments and get a replacement water heater and install scheduled same-day. Business gave an estimated arrival time of between 1-3 PM for their tech, Ariel. Ariel arrived about 1:45 PM. He was super nice, and his work was very professional and clean. Expert Plumbing excelled in communication and providing great service when it was needed. They sent pictures of their guys before they arrived. They gave update texts when their people were en route to the house. They were reliable in their time estimates. They did good work. Their team was super friendly. Their prices were transparent and fair. I'd do business with them again. I'd recommend them to my friends, and I'm going to ask that they provide bids for plumbing work in my upcoming remodel. read more

I contacted Expert Plumbing when my local water district advised me I had an excessive constant water usage. Expert dispatched Moe the following morning. Moe was friendly and observed the leak wasn't where I suspected. I switched through different valves until we identified the culprit which luckily enough was an irrigation pipe I no longer use. We discussed options revolving around the repair cost versus actual usage. In the end I decided to keep the valve shut off. So, an easy call for Moe. The charge was perfectly reasonable and their response was rapid, friendly, professional, and informative. I highly recommend Expert Plumbing. read more

This was my first time using Expert Plumbing and I was very impressed. I had the main water line between the water meter and the house replaced along with an automatic water shutoff system installed - should there be a leak while no one was home. Jared and Jose who did the installation were very friendly and did excellent work. Moe, who designed the system, came up with an approach that avoided extensive trenching, which would have damaged many plants. It was also much less expensive than a bid I had received from a competing plumbing company here in Santa Cruz. I'm very pleased with the results and highly recommend them. read more
