I called them due to toilet flooded issue, they tried to drain the pipe from one toilet and not successful. (initial charge $795 for inspection and weekend service fee)...then, they said have to dig a hole from outside to replace a pipe section that was stuck with tree...$4500 was charged. Then was told, another section of pipe has something stuck when they use machine to view, say will be more expensive..so I told them to stop the work. Called another plumber from San Bernardino. Replace another section of drain pipe for $2800...was told they don't know the cost until they found out what is going on!! So be aware and cautious for those won't disclosure their fee when you ask upfront. Lesson learned!! Below is the detailed work for review (maybe it's Lake Arrowhead pricing) Services qty unit price amount Rick OBrien 1.0 $4,500.00 $4,500.00 Sewer main snaking was not successful, all efforts to clear on Saturday were not good. Returned to dig up sewer main to allow a two way cleanout install. This install is on a 3" abs sewer line. As this line was manipulated we ran hydro jetter to cut heavy roots from 4" ads sewer main. We cut all roots that were visible. This joint is clay x ABS plastic pipe. Camera inspection found a hole in sewer appx 15' from the above location. Will dig tomorrow 12/18 Customer Services - Payment Processing fee 1.0 $175.00 $175.00 3.5% is added to your total if you chose to pay with a credit card or debit card.

I had a leaky garbage disposal and my dishwasher kept backing up. I called and received an appointment on the same day. Kevyn was friendly and service was done in a timely and efficient manner. I felt the price was fair for what needed to be done. I have had no problems with the work done. I highly recommend! read more

O'Brien's Drain-Aid company was exceptional! They came out on the same day and on a weekend! Rick and Joe were able to find all the leaks, which were many and fixed them all. They were very knowledgeable and professional. In spite of a lot of obstacles they fixed the problems one after the other without wasting any time. I will definitely call these men to take care of my plumbing projects. The price was very reasonable. Thank you O'brien's Plumbing in Crestline! read more

O'Brian Drain Aid Plumbing are the absolute best plumbing company! I got a quote to snake a line and video the pipe (work demanded by LACSD) and O'Brian's stuck with their quoted price even though the lateral line ended up being 180 feet and they needed commercial equipment rather than residential, which they initially brought. I had called several local plumbers before scheduling O'Brian's and their quoted price was the best, and then they went above and beyond! Amazing company! Very honest! Competent, hard workers, and great people! read more

If you are a senior or on a fixed income DO NOT call O'Brien plumbing! when they walk in the door you are immediately charged $195! Even if they are there for 10 minutes! Extremely shocking! read more

We were very lucky to have a plumber come out the same day as our appliance delivery! Unexpectedly, our delivery couldn't install the stove due to gas line liability issues (inlet is via cabinet versus available on wall). Contacted O'Brien in the morning and they scheduled to come within 3 hours. Fantastic service and they helped cleaned the area and explained how our "fancy" stove worked after install was done. Very friendly and funny guys too! We are also scheduling for other projects at the home due to their very fair pricing and transparent process of projects. read more

Joe was great. Knowledgeable and professional. Was on time and knew what needed to be done to solve the problem. Highly recommended

No water when we got to our house. Rick and Brian came quickly Rick assessed the problem, ordered the part and came the following day to fix it. They were very professional and considerate of our needs. Thank you so much! read more

Couldn't even get them do a quick job or give an estimate. Said it would take 3-4 days.to get back to me. Went to Rim Lumber got the parts myself and was done in less than an hour.... I have no idea how they stay in business. They will never be getting mine... read more

Thank you O'Brien's Plumbing! Called on Saturday afternoon and they answered the phone. Wasn't an exchange either, which is fine too, but one less step, so time bonus, especially during an emergency, which I had. Ryan called me shortly there after, walks me though some steps on the phone, decides it's best to come out, which he does within less than an hour from the original call I placed, and gets the job done quickly and cleanly. And affordably as well, extremely fair. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, and I'm a Contractor as well, so I get it. Great asset to our Mountain! read more

Quoted us 5X another reputable plumber quoted us and for work we did not need. Our experience with O'Brien Plumbing was dishonesty at it's worst. The plumber and his assistant arrived to diagnose the problem. They spent no more than 10 minutes onsite and suggested a fix the was very involved. We did not trust that 10 minutes was sufficient to determine the root cause of our problem and followed up with a different plumber here on the mountain. It turned out, with a little work, that the issue was contained and did not need the multi-thousand-dollar solution quoted by the O'Brien plumbing team. We went with the other plumber and could not be happier. Be sure to shop around and get multiple quotes. And most importantly, trust your instincts when it comes to someone trying to rip you off. read more

Called early Monday morning, phone was immediately answered by pleasant, professional woman. We were able to get a same day appt. Jason showed up exactly on time, had everything needed to complete two different repairs. He was knowledgeable and took the time to explain the problem and what we can do to minimize future issues. Great experience from start to finish, would definitely use O'Brien Plumbing again. read more

My pipes were frozen, so I called O'Brien plumbing and they came out within an hour. They were courteous and professional. They removed a couple of planks from my deck, found the waterline, and had it thawed out in no time. Once they had insulation in place, they made sure everything was back in place and charged me a very reasonable price. I'm putting them on speed dial.. read more

Last minute call at 9pm at night. They answered the Phone and sent someone out. He was able to fix the problem and replace the part.. saved the night as we were stressing with running water we couldn't get to stop.. thank you for your help read more

Tristan & coworker came out and did excellent job and explaining the situation and giving us our options. They performed the work quickly and were a pleasure to deal with. I would absolutely hire them again. Great price & service. read more

Theses guys are really top notch! Tristian (hope that's spelled right) and another guy came out. Tristan dealt with our home warranty company with us to get authorized to do our repair. He was so nice and patient and didn't complain in the slightest for the extra time it took to do it! Once they started working it was fast and done right. He made sure we were good to go! After three days of no hot water with rain and snow fall he was greatly appreciated! Even calling the office we felt like they cared and wanted to help... which was nice because we called around to about 8 other companies some where nice but couldn't do the work and some made us feel like we were bothering them with our need for service which is really odd- So a big thanks to Tristan (?) and O'Brien Plumbing from our family for punctual, quick, clean, courteous, friendly work! read more

We have relied on the quality service offered by O'Brien Plumbing for over 7 years, dealing mostly with Tristen and Tyson. Well, no more. Seems these two high quality employees are no longer around...and with them went.this company's service. Our last experience (March 2021) was very negative and we will never use O'Brien Plumbing again. Why? When Jason showed up to repair our tankless water heater he said he didn't know how to fix it, and so as the homeowner it was up to us to repair it!! So long Jason and so long O'Brien Plumbing. read more

I never used these guys, since they quoted me a price more than double their competitor's. But that's not the reason for a 3 star review. The issue was that even though I didn't ask this, the person I spoke to, told me they're "the only one on the mountain with a sewer camera". Why make such a claim that's simply not true? When I called back to cancel the appointment and inform them they're not the only ones with the camera, this person ignorantly commented with "yes I know... that's cool (to cancel)" and got off the phone really quickly (which worked great for me too). You know?? Speechless. read more

Great service. 6:00am emergency and had to go to work. They came the same day and fixed it. Laura, who works in the office, was very nice and helpful. read more

Have used O'brien Plumbing twice now. First time for a frozen/broken pipe and second time for service on a water heater. Both times they were professional, pleasant and very helpful. Since we live 'down the hill' it is often difficult to connect and get things done in a timely manner. From the Plumbers, to the office staff, all were a pleasure to deal with. read more

They have no clue about what to do. They charge a lot and get nothing done. They ran a camera one way and refused to run it the other way to determine the blockage. Another plumber came in and fixed it right away and efficiently. read more

This company came out for pipe break on my water main and did a great job and the cost came out to be a third of the estimate!! Highly recommend!! read more

I can't say enough great things about Zion with OBrien plumbing. He is a great representative of the company and is super friendly and informative about the plumbing issues we had. Zion fixed the issue we had promptly and with a smile and we will definitely be using OBrien plumbing next time we have a plumbing issue. read more

A good honest plumber. When I initially called in the evening I was told about the after hours fee and if I wanted to wait I could just do the regular service call charge for next day. Needless to say it wasn't an emergency, so that was great. They showed up bright and early to get our toilet unclogged during regular business hours. They were quick, professional, and prices were very reasonable. Hopefully we don't have to call them back anytime soon, but it's nice to know if we are ever in need we have a great plumbing service in the area. read more

These guys came out and checked my water line for a leak and told me I needed an entire new water main line from the street 2600 bucks I asked if it could be a bad shut off valve and a leaky toilet. Told those valves don't leak. I personally drove 2 hours to check for my self and it was what I thought. Cost me 26 bucks at the hardware store and an hour of labor. These guys though I've heard good things about sure screwed up this trouble shooting. Check the basics boys! read more

Worst company ever! Technician came to review the issue at the property Friday afternoon, was supposed to email me a quote that same day. I didn't received anything, so called Saturday morning. They told me to wait till Monday. I called Monday, they still cant provide a quote. They said they would call me back , they never did. Go anywhere else . Don't waste your time with these incompetent people. read more

They guys came out to my elderly in-laws house today and replaced all the steel drain pipes in a house that is almost 100 year old. They were very polite and worked with them on financing the project. We will have them back again. read more

I called O'Brien with an emergency plumbing issue and the woman who answered the phone told me I'd have to wait a week to have someone come out. When I told her it was urgent, and I asked if she could refer me, she treated me like I am an idiot. If O'Brien's plumbers are so booked, maybe they should hire more. Better yet -- replace the person answering the phone. In this small town, companies often make referrals. It's Lake Arrowhead, not Wall Street where businesses feel like they have to eat their competitors for lunch. O'Brien was first recommended to us by neighbors, and over the past ten years we've had good experiences. But today, in an emergency, O'Brien phone receptionist decides she's gonna put me in my place... This is no way to treat a longtime customer. O'Brien's service stinks! read more

I have used O'Briens in the past. Field Service rep was polite and on time. But they are relatively expensive. It has been years since my last service call with them. Called to have a top of the line disposal installed in the kitchen. $200. A little pricey. After the work was completed, I paid and received the receipt. On it was the work warranty. FYI: O'Briens only guarantees their work on owner supplied equipment (including new in the box) for 30 days. Forty-five days afterward, the disposal began vibrating. A couple more weeks and the cabinet door vibrated when the disposal was in use. O'Briens wants another $100 to come out for a follow up service call. FINISHED WITH O'BRIENS. $300 to correctly install a disposal! Not from me. read more

O'Brien Plumbing saved our weekend, and our plumbing! We had a serious sewer backup occur on Saturday morning in our home at Lake Arrowhead. Called at least 7 different plumbing services leaving messages on their voice mails. Called O'Brien on the recommendation of two different people. Actually talked to a person!! She said the plumber was on a call, but he would head over as soon as he was done. Within 30 minutes Jason arrived. He had located the clean out and was ready to open it up by the time I got downstairs to answer the door. He snaked out several chunks of tree roots which had blocked our sewer line, solving our immediate problem - a houseful of guests needing to use the facilities. Yay! Jason was friendly, professional, explained the problem to me, my hard-of-hearing father and everyone else that asked about the problem (we are a nosy bunch!) He was respectful and informational to all of us. He suggested sending down a camera (later in the week at regular pricing), identifying what might need replacing and recommending a solution to keep the problem from happening in the future. We are setting a follow up appointment. O'Brien could have charged us an arm and a leg as it was a Saturday and no one else was responding. They did not. It was a reasonable fee and an excellent result. Thank you Jason and O'Brien Plumbing!! read more

I had O'Brien come out today to fix a couple leaking faucets. They fixed everything within 20 minutes and didn't charge me a thing. They recommended I replace some plumbing hardware in several sinks, which they said they would charge only $250 for. They said my return business on the new hardware would be enough. Both plumbers were very nice and friendly. This is the second time I've used O'Brien and I will use them for everything plumbing related on my house. Best plumbers on the mountain. read more

My hot water heater went out. For 2 weeks Tristan and everyone at O'Brien went out of their way to help me and put up with my dealings with my home warranty company.I believe they came to my house to put on new parts and light the water heater at least 4 or 5 times. Stellar service. On time. Kept their appointments. And even put in my new water heater on a Sunday. Will always recommend them. read more

I used these guys years ago, and they were great. This time, they sent out two young men. They told me that their snake wouldn't fit down a two inch clear out pipe. I didn't feel like arguing, letting them know that the previous time they had been out, that was exactly what they did, and for $100 less than what they quoted me. Next they proceed to tell me that they need to pull off the toilet, to get to the clog from there, looking under the house to confirm it. Then quoting me two, and a half times more money to do it than the clean out. I pulled off the toilet today, and the pipe goes the opposite direction from where the clog is, but I ran a 25' snake just to see. Clear as a whistle. I ran the 25' snake down the clean out pipe, and was able to get a bunch of hair, but I need a longer snake to get at it. Sad to leave this review, seeing how nice the first fellow was, but things change. This time for the worst. read more

$150 to install a kitchen faucet is pretty expensive so I went elsewhere and had it done for $90 which is fair since it took less than 30 minutes. I have used them in the past and they do good work but prices are up there. read more

Not even worth one star..... The receptionist is one of the rudest people I have ever encountered in my life. The estimates are vague and they won't explain exactly what they are charging you for. Please take your business else where!!!!! read more

They have been out to my house a few times now, getting the place in shape. still excellent service at a great price. even with me living out of the area. well done, guys. Wish you had a location "down the hill". Best plumbers I've ever had. read more

I have utilized O'Brien Plumbing several times since moving to Crestline from Los Angeles. On each occasion, their representative arrived on time, provided an accurate estimate for the work needed. Their price for the work was reasonable. On every occasion they arrived on time, accomplished the work as promised in a clean, professional manner. I highly recommend this business if you need plumbing services in the Crestline area. read more

Jason is amazing. He's done work for me at my Airbnb rental in Lake Arrowhead. He's prompt, honest, and efficient. Can't go wrong with hiring him to take care of your plumbing needs. Would definitely use him again! read more

Absolutely disappointed in O'Brien's second and last service call which caused much anxiety and alarm. We asked them to fix leaky, kitchen sink. O'Brien plumber came and simply turned off water to the sink, citing, he, "couldn't fix leak until the water seepage into the laminate flooring's underlayment was first taken care of." He gave us number of person to call to help with that issue. We called that referral who came out to give us an estimate of $ 3,500.00 just to demolish the floor so that the area underneath could be aired out to prevent mold and mildew. Warning! Never act upon the scare tactic of, " Mold! Mildew!" without further investigation! Thankfully, I waited out the storm of sticker shock and was rewarded with today's reputable plumber, recommended by our Realtor, who came out and fixed the kitchen sink problem (leak was in the faucet which a three minute investigation revealed) and to the tune of only $97.00. Today's seasoned plumber, whom we will use from from here on out, was mystified as to why the plumber from O'Brien's could not fix the leaky faucet before the damp underlayment of the flooring was tended to. At the end of the day, I believe that the plumber from O'Brien's acted unethically. (Could he have been getting kick back from Jim - the demo man - who suggested more than once that I get my home insurance to pay the proposed $ 3,500.00 demo bill?) We're new to the area and found O'Brien Plumbing in the phone book to handle an emergency situation - backed up toilet - on a Sunday evening a few months back; handled just fine, albeit expensively because of their flat rate system. Regular-kind-of-folk, home owners like me, "Beware!" Always go with a plumber who charges time and materials and not flat rate! Lessons learned? Aways use a professional recommended by a reputable source! Always trust your instincts and get second opinions when you sense something is off or is less than honest advice! read more

Very bad, and they lie. I am an absentee owner of a cabin in the running springs area. several months ago. i hired this firm to replace two angle stops and a leak in the shower wall, and replace a water heater burner which i had to find and purchase because they did not to take the extra time to find one. The reason i hired them to begin with is because they said they could fix the leak without putting a hole in the drywall on the other side of the bath to get to the leak. The work was finished according to them, and i paid them by check once they called me saying the work was done. Being out of the area, i took their word for it. Anyway, the cabin was vacant, and has been vacant since then, and they knew this up front. the cabin was sold a week or so ago, but they backed out, because there was some minor issues found during the inspection,. and a major issue, the exact same water leak in the shower wall. When i called them yesterday to inform them, they went on the defense right away, and basically said too bad, wen can send out someone to look it, but it would be a $225 service call, but they would have the plumber that did the work call me, which he did this morning. Very bad experience with the call. same old line, been too long, and it is too bad. But, i did find out they did not fix the leak in the wall, instead, they rebuilt the shower faucet, which i did not authorize. i was very specific when i called them about the problem the leak was in the wall, and if they had a more modern way to fix the leak, other than put holes in the wall in the kitchen side, and possibly remove cabinets. they said yes. i have no reason to lie, this is the honest truth. So, i paid them $1,000, almost has much as the other bid i got, to do the complete job, for changing two angle stops, rebuild a faucet, and replace a burner, which i paid for. Nice work if you can get it. i would not recommend them to anyone if they were the last plumbers on earth!!! read more
