I've had Nick out several times over the past 10 years or so. Have always recommended him to neighbors because he's local and quite competent. Yesterday I learned the extent of his diagnostic skills, as well as watched him in action as he sawed out a section of 80 year old lead pipe in the ceiling and behind a wall in my garage. To solve a small leak that was a disaster in hiding for a couple of years. Nick is truly on a level of knowledge and professionalism that I haven't seen... ever. Have re-habbed many old houses in my life, but never have had a job like this evaluated, planned and executed in about 4 hours total. Left a spotless work area, cleanly sawed walls (not torn to bits).. and full confidence that this pipe repair could last another 80 years. Super impressive. And all at a price I was happy to pay. Highly recommended! read more

scheduled an appointment with Nick. Took time out of my day, & juggled my responsibilities to be at the location in a timely manner. Well, it's going on 3 hours past our agreed upon time, and not so much even a text, let alone a phone call. Awesome Nick. Thanks for wasting my time. read more

Nick Allen Plumbing - Nick Allen replacing my water heater! - Plumbing Near Me - San Clemente, California

We have had many great experiences working with Nick Allen! Nick has always been very professional reliable and works very efficiently. We recently decided to renovate our master bath which required moving drains vent pipes and rerouting some plumbing within our walls. NICK came in and provided a thorough overview of what we could expect and what his plan was. As is the case in many situations, once walls were opened our original plan had to be modified. Nick Presented a variety of options for us to choose from and helped us select the best option that would meet our end goals and budgetary needs. I would highly recommend NICK to anyone who needs a reliable plumber. read more

FINALLY! A plumber that isn't a scumbag...a fair, likable, reliable, moderately priced and thorough plumber that is honest and trustworthy. A rare creature in So. OC. I was scheduled quickly, the work completed in stellar time and didn't get bent over on the rate. Nick is everything you want in a plumber and none of the (insert your favorite bovine fecal term here) you don't want. Nick sets the customer care bar so high, other plumbers need to charter a plane just to see it. Call someone else at your own risk. read more

My search for a plumber has ended. Nick Allen is the only plumber I will use in the future. He responds quickly, arrives on time and is very personable. No mess after he leaves either. Had him out to check a toilet that wasn't flushing completely every time. He put an auger down the toilet but encountered no obstructions. Flushing valve was working properly. He suggested I contact Toto and see if they had any suggestions or would offer a partial refund on a toilet only 3 years old. He didn't charge me because he said he wasn't here that long and he didn't solve my problem and just to use him if a new toilet has to be installed which I will definitely do. Can't beat that. Can't recommend Nick highly enough. read more

Completely professional, friendly and efficient. He even texted to say he'd be a little late, and was true to his timeframe. I'd use him again in a second!! read more

Nick seems like a great guy, like you'd want to be friends with Nick, like if you heard your sister was marrying Nick you'd be super excited because he's cool as hell and he can totally fix any plumbing issues you got. Nick was here in 30 mins - told me in advance the cost - had the repair to a water line outside done in no time and while he was washing his hands over my sink, he noticed my faucet needed some tweaking - so he just fixed that as well. Responsive - honest - polite - clean - I wish him the best and would definitely call him again for a plumbing repair. read more

Did some plumbing work on my shower, but the repair was beyond my ability and equipment. I found Nick Allen through a social media post looking for local plumbers. I always like to support local small businesses. Nick came out the next day after I contacted him and assessed the problem quickly. We were leaving on a family trip on January 2nd, and I was pleasantly surprised that Nick was willing to come out on New Year's Day (no extra charge!). He fixed the issue quickly and courteously and we left on our trip the next day with no worries about our leaky shower. Strongly recommend Nick! read more

Honest, nice, friendly, plumber. Nick did a few things around my house and I'm very happy with the quality of his work and his prices. Nick has his own business, so you will get Nick when you call. read more

Nick came yesterday and helped repair an outdoor shower and even install a steam shower. He was prompt and professional. Highly recommend!

We called Allen's Plumbing after noticing water in our ceiling. He had the leak source found and patched in under an hour. Fast, Easy & Efficient. He was very respectful of our house and chatted with our 5 year old as he watched the repair in facination. read more

I found Nick on Yelp and called him up to evaluate my 12 year old water heater which had developed a leak. I'm generally wary of plumbers, but immediately liked Nick. He told me that he could probably fix the leak but that I would be investing in something that was not going to last much longer, which is what I suspected. I thought I would have to schedule to have a new water heater installed the following week, but to my surprise he jumped right on it and was done in about 3 hours. He removed the old one and disposed of it and installed a new one. Extremely professional job, looks good and a reasonable price. Nick is now my plumber of choice. read more

We had a slab leak, and have had a couple over the years. We called Nick, and he offered to fix the existing slab leak at a reasonable price, but we knew it was just a matter of time before we had another. We decided it was time to repipe the house with Pex. Nick's price was very reasonable and the crew was professional and did a great job. The drywall guy did an incredible job patching the holes. Once the repainting is completed, we won't even be able to tell where the holes were. We have used Nick for years for water heater replacement, hose bib replacement, and now this. We highly recommend Nick! He is honest and professional. You won't be disappointed with Nick Allen Plumbing. read more

Nick, the owner of Allens Plumbing took our call when one of our pipes burst outside of our home. Water was pouring out everywhere! He instructed us what we needed to do until he arrived to fix the pipe issue. He showed up qicker than we could have hoped for and fixed the issue right away. Nick was very professional and obviously very skilled. We will always be calling Allens Plumbing from now on. Thanks again! read more

Just had Nick take a look at a leak behind my water heater. Showed up on time, reasonable service charge and fixed the leak. He had some good recommendations on a tankless water heater and answered my questions about replacing copper piping (30 year old copper in this neighborhood is problematic). I would recommend Nick and will be calling him for my next plumbing project. read more

Nick is a very responsive plumber. He is in business for himself. His overhead is low and his pricing is very reasonable. I have used him twice in last 2 months and am now passing his cards to all I know. You won't go wrong with Nick. And he's a really nice man. read more

Nick did what two other plumbers could not, and he did it efficiently! Our custom tub was leaking, and he was the only one who could figure out how to repair it. read more

I was given Nick Allen's name by a friend and called to ask about installing a couple of eco friendly new thrones. The timing had to mesh with new carpeting going down. Nick was easy to work with, well priced and took care of everything. A trustworthy plumber is one of those essentials in life you do not think about until you need it, but when you do, having someone who shows up when they said they would and does what they promised they would do is fabulous. I've got Nick under P for my go to plumber! read more

Nick just left my home. We had a very slow exterior drain which he was able to substantially improve. Very professional and eager to do well by you. He said he would be here in a particular window of time, texted me when he was on the way, and showed up ready to tackle the tasks. And like Robert D said.... read more

Nick from Allen's plumbing was beyond wonderful. He was referred by a family friend who lives in San Clemente as "the best plumber ever." They went on to describe why by saying, "if there is a problem Nick will get to the root of the problem and doesn't give up. He is honest and effective ." That was exactly my experience back in February when he came out to my house to try to solve the problem of a "mystery odor". He was all over the house, in the attic, on the roof snd around the premises. I was grateful for his determination to solve the mystery. I felt like he took on my problem as if it were his own problem. He also could have charged for a 2nd call out, but didn't. In tbe end, tbe problem seemrd to come from a neighboring property. I appreciated knowing he is trustworthy and effective. Allen's plumbing is simply the best. read more
