I called around and spoke to several businesses before connecting with Pablo. A gas company free inspection discovered that my water heater vent was not functioning properly, so they shut if off and told me to get it repaired/addressed by professionals. The first company that came out charged me $99 for an inspection and estimate and claimed that I needed to replace all my vents (switching from single-wall to double-wall). Pablo, however, explained that this was unnecessary -- he could redo sections and install a new cap on the roof for about a quarter of the other company's estimate. During my research, I also considered installing a tankless water heater to avoid dealing with vents altogether and obtained estimates for that option. Pablo offered to install a high-quality tankless at a reasonable price, while other companies suggested lower-quality units at equal or higher prices. I decided to accept Pablo's bid and am glad I did, because he provided excellent work. I really appreciate his reasonable pricing and straightforward approach. He also responded to my request quickly and went out the same day to inspect the issue and completed the work the following morning. read more

Pablo was great. He called me the night I posted my request for the job. He was promptly at my house the next morning and installed a new 75 gallon water heater the same day. Even on a Saturday when other business wanted an extra charge for "emergency hours". I highly recommend flow tech for their professionalism and swiftness in helping me with my problem. read more

Pablo with Flowtech Drains responded quickly to my inspection and quote request on some plumbing issues found during an inspection. I had multiple plumbing companies give me quotes and Pablo's was the most reasonable. I will be calling Pablo for all of my plumbing needs going forward. read more

Came over at agreed to time, cleaned the drains and didn't overcharge. What more could I ask for. Will use them again!

Pablo was amazing. He took his time to thoroughly inspect our plumbing system, recording videos and clearly explaining everything he found. He was able to clean the pipes using a high-quality pressure jet and showed us the results afterward. We were very pleased with his work and look forward to using his services again. As a real estate agent, I will definitely be referring him to my clients in the future. -Marcia read more

The technician came out to inspect a gas leak issue at our cooktop. He arrived on time, was very professional, and carefully checked everything. He was able to identify where the leak was coming from and clearly explained the situation to us. I really appreciated his honesty -- he let us know that the issue was inside the appliance and outside of his scope, instead of trying to upsell or fix something unnecessarily. Very straightforward and trustworthy. Would definitely recommend! read more

I've used FlowTech Drains on two separate occasions now, and they've been outstanding both times. Their communication is excellent: quick responses, clear expectations, and consistent updates throughout the job. Pablo and his team are professional, reliable, and genuinely great to work with.

I'm grateful for their availability and the way they walked me through each step so I always know what to expect.

Flow Tech Drains was fantastic! Ricardo and Miguel came to my Santa Barbara home within 24 hours, installed a new shut off valve at a great price, and were super polite and friendly. They gave me regular updates as they worked, offered great advice on maintaining my plumbing for free, and even quoted another job efficiently--sticking exactly to the quoted price with no surprises.

Pablo promised to be here at 7am and arrived at 6:58am. He resolved my issue with a plugged up toilet in short order while being very friendly. I will be using Flowtech in the future for my plumbing needs. Thank you Flowtech/Pablo read more

I have used Flowtech previously for my primary residence and was very happy. So when I noticed I had a leaky hose bib and rusted water shutoff valve at my rental property I called Flowtech. It was a slow leak so I was able to schedule an appointment. The guys came on time. They fixed the leak, replaced the shut off valve and added a water pressure regulator the same day. Really nice guys. The work is good quality and they left the area looking better than when they started. I'm a very happy customer! read more

My water heater had a leak for some weeks that we only noticed when a full burst occurred. Pablo and his excellent team (Miguel, Jose, and Ricardo) were able to come out the same day I called and got right to work. Pablo noticed that there was significant water damage with a ton of mold, and informed me that it definitely needed to be taken care of ASAP before they could install a new heater - it would be a big problem if we didn't take care of it. They installed a temp heater in the mean time. The temp heater had a manufacturer issue, and Pablo came out after hours on his own time to try to fix the issue, even when I let him know he didn't need to. Really generous of him! After I got the water damage fixed, Pablo sent his team to finish installing the water heater. Once again, they were able to come right away on short notice from me. They finished the job quick and installed all the necessary safety mechanisms. Can't recommend these guys enough. Super professional, super fast, they really care about doing a good job, AND really fair pricing. Will definitely be reaching out again next time I have any plumbing issues. read more

Pablo scheduled my service after hours for the next morning. He was on time, done quickly, professional, and courteous. He was transparent about the expected cost (snaking a shower drain) before arriving. Will call him again! read more

Flowtech Drains - Plumbing Near Me

I can't say enough amazing feedback for Flowtech Drains!! Pablo was extremely responsive to schedule the next day visit. Pablo was honest with us about our very old water heater and gave us great advice on doing a tankless water heater vs traditional. He gave us a great deal and let us know about the a Gas company rebate for tankless. He and his crew came out the next day and their installation was beautiful. Pablo pays so much to detail and he wouldn't leave until everything worked flawlessly (we realized the builders of the house switched the hot/cold pipes)! See photos! He also made us aware of an issue with our water softener that we need to get fixed. Will call them again for future plumbing services! read more

I'm very glad we called Pablo at Flowtech Drains. He came to the site within a hour of our call and gave me a precise quote on the job. Since the work required a building water shutoff, we had to post notices and wait for 24hrs. He returned the next day right on time. The job was completed perfectly as described with very good communication. He even provided pictures before and after the service was completed. Thank you, Pablo! read more

I needed a simple hose bib replaced that had begun to leak after many years of use. I reached out to several plumbers, many of whom quoted me ridiculous prices for what I knew to be a 0.5-1hr job with minimal materials needed. Flowtech Drains provided an honest and reasonable quote and so I knew right away they were the right company to hire. They arrived on the day and time window indicated and completed the job within an hour. They also installed a female adapter, so that I can do a simple hose bib replacement myself next time. I would highly recommend Flowtech Drains to anyone with plumbing needs. read more

I absolutely recommend Flowtech Drains. Pablo, is official. He is knowledgeable and respects people's time and money. Of course I didn't want to pay what I did but it was at least fair.

Pablo, Business Owner and the only plumber who does his jobs, saved the day this morning before 4:00 AM at the speed of light. We found a major leak coming out of our water heater. He almost immediately called us after request was put out on Yelp. He said he would be there at 9:00 AM but pleasantly surprised me by arriving at 8:00 AM. He said that since it was an emergency call that he was able to adjust his schedule to be here earlier. My Step Son who owns a plumbing company, said that for my job costing only $1,800 was a smoking good deal because he would have charged $ 2,800 to replace a water heater. He said the brand of water heater Pablo installed is a good one that he uses too. Pablo was very friendly, thoroughly explained the work that was needed, did quality work, even doing some extra work for free by checking the water pressure at different places in our house and was finished in a reasonable amount of time. Pablo has become our one and only plumber that we will be using from now. Besides, I have never seen any business like Flowtech Drains with Pablo be rated perfectly with all five star reviews, 59 of them now! read more

Not only were they so easy to work with, their response time was within minutes and came out to replace a water heater within the hour.

They went beyond their scope of the work order and ensured I will know what to look out for in case this happens again years down the line. Thank you Flowtech! read more

With the recent heavy rains this past week we had water coming in our garage from the backyard. I called around and found Flowtech Drains. Pablo the owner came right out and was the most reasonable and knowledgeable of all our quotes. Without wasting any time his guys started the next day. They installed a new drain line to the street with multiple water entry points. His guys were so nice they put back the pebble pathway and bricks that were dug up and cleaned up everything else left behind. The new pipe they put down is a lot stronger than what you buy at Home Depot so it will last a long time plus they glued the pipe ends together to prevent roots. Pablo is such a nice guy as well that we spent time getting to know him. He's a great boss to his workers and loves what he does. Call Flowtech!! 805-402-7060. Thank you so much Pablo and your guys!
