Gas line emergency! Neighbor smelled gas and SDG&E found a slow leak in an 80+ year old line. Suffice to say I needed it fixed FAST. I scheduled some bids and Ric gave me a thorough and honest walkthrough. He sent me the bid within an hour and was able to make time to start the next day. The RWB crew arrived early the next morning and worked HARD digging a 100-ft trench across 2 yards (through our delightful San Diego clay). They rolled through some unexpected weather and communicated updates with me daily (I was out of town for part of the job). They got everything done in 3 days, pulled permits and scheduled the inspection. We got our new pipe and our gas on, and they backfilled the trench. I'm thankful to this team for their hard work and great attitude and communication on this project. The price AND timeline were unbeatable and they were experienced, licensed experts. read more

We recently moved into a modular home in Lakeside. The 40-gallon water heater was 12 years old and performing poorly; one shower every two hours, and not even a full hot shower at that! So we saw the positive reviews on Yelp for RWB and gave them a call. We also had ASI give us a bid- theirs was $2000 more for the same brand and same warrantee. Response times by text were almost instant, and about 5 days after the initial call we were enjoying a new 50 gallon water heater. Michael was friendly and efficient during the installation. It was a slim space to work with due to being a modular home, but he knew what was needed and how to accomplish the job. We will be calling next week for a different issue. I recommend this company. read more

Very efficient and helpful. Staff kept in contact the day of the appointment & when the plumber arrived quickly diagnosed and repaired the issue. The best part was the plumber explained what was going on, how to mitigate the issue and made recommendations for the future. We have some other projects and will be reaching out again. read more

Our line from the house to the street sewer line was clogged. Richard came out in the rain, diagnosed the issue within minutes and resolved it before family arrived for their Holiday stay. Richard was fast, informative, and explained the situation which was very comforting. I highly recommend RWB Plumbing. No up-selling like those other plumbing companies who show up and talk talk talk. Thank you Richard. read more

We've has two great experiences with RWB Plumbing. First we got a toilet roll holder stuck in a toilet and they were able to come out that same day and quickly fix it, and at a better rate than others offered. Second we had our pipes backing up and affecting various rooms in our house and they came out quickly the next morning to fix everything. Great service all around. read more

There was an issue with gas service to my parents home. We contacted RWB Plumbing who came out the same day to assess the situation and started work the next morning. We could not be happier with the professionalism and customer service we received from the crew. They did an excellent job and explained the process and handled the permitting and inspection process. They contacted SDGE for the reconnect and checked to make sure service was restored. We would not hesitate to use them again and will recommend them to anyone needing plumbing contractors. Excellent work, fair pricing and attention to detail. read more

Ric and team were super responsive, gave a reasonable quote up front and came in and fixed the very next day. I cannot say that for any of the other vendors that we sent requests out to for a garbage disposal leak and replacement. Highly recommend these guys!! read more

Súper responsive, reasonable prices and good service. Hired them to change kitchen faucet. Will be hiring them again

I very much appreciated the thoroughness through my ordeal with a water heater that was having hard-to-diagnose issues, from initial suggestions of things to check and try before making a visit, a return visit to conduct a diagnosis with the manufacturer, and then the installation of a new water heater. I highly recommend RWB and will be using him again! read more

These guys are the BEST! Texted them early on the weekend about a leaky faucet seeking a replacement and Michael came out later that day to replace it. He even fixed our broken garbage disposal which I had pretty much given up on ever working again. 10 out of 10 would call again. Super professional, communicative, punctual, and just generally good guys. read more

Bryan Nambo was amazing!!!! So thorough and so conscientious. He was on time each and every day. Answered all my questions thoroughly and explained everything he was going to do to fix my slab leak. Not an easy feat and he was so considerate of my time and my kids and my dogs and my space. And when I had other plumbing questions, he went out of his way to explain and demonstrate the issue, etc. As a testament to his amazing work ethic, I told him that he didn't have to do an extremely difficult re route, that he could leave it, he was insistent that he did not want to do that and crawled into this ridiculously small space and did the re route. I can't recommend Bryan enough!!!! Excellent plumber and just a great employee. Every employee should have the work ethic Bryan does!! read more

I'll start by just saying my experience with RWB Plumbing Services was EXCEPTIONAL! I attempted to close a valve on my laundry box and broke the fitting off. Water was spraying everywhere. I shut off the water meter valve and went to work on Yelp at 6:30 in the morning. I used the cool Yelp feature to send a message to nearby plumbers with a description of my problem and a photo. Ric from RWB was the first to reply. He knew exactly what needed to be done and gave me an estimate on first contact. Throughout the morning several other plumbers nearby replied to the Yelp message. Most of them were WAY above RWB's estimate! Many of them were booked for the day and just brushed me off. Ric was actually booked for the day too but said he would squeeze me in to at least do an emergency tap on the laundry box and come back the next day to finish the work. Did I mention Ric was 50 miles away?!? He knew how important it was to get the water back on for my family and was more than willing to make the drive. Ric gave me an estimated time of arrival that would have him driving straight through to get here. He later sent me a message and asked if I could support shifting the arrival time by 30 minutes so he could just get the parts today. This meant he would fix everything on the spot and not need to come back tomorrow. Uh ... YES PLEASE! Ric showed up right on time and went to work. Very professional. He brought everything he needed into the laundry room without needing to make multiple trips back and forth to his work truck. He obviously knew exactly what he was doing. He worked quickly and efficiently. He showed me how to slowly pressurize the water lines inside the house to prevent damage and made sure to check the solder points several times throughout the process. He cleaned up the work area and left my laundry room much cleaner than he found it. He held to his estimate and made sure I had his company contact information as well as his personal cell phone number if we needed anything else. I am a small business owner myself and I can tell you that Ric "gets it". When I need a plumber again in the future, I am definitely calling his cell phone! read more

I had contacted Ric after finding out we had roots growing into our sewer line, along with some corrosion. Ric was super quick to reply and I was able to easily communicate via email with him and his team to book an appointment. Ric laid out a plan of attack and provided a price estimate. He showed up right on time and the work was completed exactly as he said it would be! We'll definitely be using RWB in the future and will be recommending them to our friends! Thank you, Ric!!! read more

Knowledgeable and pleasant. Michael was a pro and would request again if the need arises! Thank you!

Brian Nambo did a great job and was an interesting conversationalist as well. I'd call him again.

RWB Plumbing did a fantastic job. Quick, reasonably priced, professional service. Will definitely use again.

Happy with the results. On time, on budget. Communication is great. Definitely recommend this company

I sent a water heater replacement request out on a Friday afternoon via Yelp and had multiple responses. Ric responded quickly with a full quote that beat the nearest competitors by $600. Long story short- Ric had a new 60gl water heater delivered within hours and completed the install by the end of the day. The plumbing was impeccable and I had hot water restored! Ric works hard and efficiently. He delivers the goods with no BS. Winner! read more

Excellent responsiveness and help from RWB. I had a problem with bathroom tub faucets and contacted RWB after receiving a ridiculous expensive estimate from another local plumber. RWB did the repair for much less, very quickly and professionally and was responsive to every communication necessary to arrange and get this completed. read more

Highly recommend this company. My water heater went out on us the night of Thanksgiving and we were without any water due to a leak as well. Contacted RWB the next morning and Ric responded very quickly. He was able to give me a quote, arrived earlier than expected and was very efficient. He was very friendly, honest, courteous and professional! Thank you so much! read more

Our downstairs shower and toilet flooded overnight and I submitted a quote. RWB sent Ric and he found the issue right away, he also let me see the video camera inspection to show me the line was clear and we ran water to ensure it was flowing with no issues. Ric was also kind enough to help with our shower temperature issue! We will definitely keep RWB in our contacts for any future issues! read more

This is a long overdue review. I had a quite complicated plumbing issue that included changing a shower valve and some other issues. I got quotes from around 10 businesses and Ric's was somewhere in the middle. I chose RWB Plumbing because Ric asked the right questions to make sure he understood the issue, unlike the other businesses that immediately said yes, without even understanding the issue. The guy who worked in my condo, Michael, did an amazing job and managed to completely avoid cutting the tile in the visible place (all other companies wanted to cut just to make it easier). Everything was left clean and in perfect condition and everything is working perfectly 6 months later. read more

Responsive, efficient, and friendly. Will definitely be using and recommending this company in the future.

Recently, my 6-year old Rheem tankless water heater failed and was covered for replacement under warranty. Unfortunately, the warranty did not cover installation. I contacted several contractors to discuss the project and selected RWB Plumbing because the pricing was competitive, and Ric was able to schedule installation fairly quickly (we didn't like taking cold showers too much). Ric also was helpful in speaking with the supplier of the replacement unit as needed to ensure everything went smoothly. Ric was very conscientious in his installation. I am a fairly meticulous homeowner and I was very happy with the way he put everything together.. way better than what the builder had done 6 years ago! read more

Hot water heater started leaking last night. I came on Yelp to find a plumber. Ric responded immediately. He told me he would be out here today around noon. I got a text from him telling me he would be here closer to 1:00. I liked the fact that he kept in contact with me. He arrived, was very polite and professional. He took out the old water heater, installed the new one, explained things, and left the area clean. I would definitely recommend him and if need be I will use him again. read more

Ric was super responsive while I was deciding which service to go with to replace our water heater. He provided the options and information to make a decision on which type to go with. He arrived on time and after a few friendly words, he was right to work. He completed the job quickly and took the time to explain the operation and maintenance recommendations. Would definitely do business with him again for any of my plumbing needs. read more

I had very bad experiences with My Dad's plumber and I came across RWB and I couldn't be happier. RWB is very professional from start to finish. Michael is amazing. The way they conduct their business and their customer service can't be matched here. Great company still exists! I'm surprised of their little details and some basic business conduct. I'm very happy of their work, their process and their fair price. Thank you so much!!! I'm sure to come back to use your service again. read more

We moved into a fixer upper. I had some water leaking out the bottom of my wobbly toilet and noticed the bolts weren't tight. Tightened them, still had the leak. What I thought was going to be a quick DIY wax ring replacement was actually a backed up sewage line. We're remodeling the house and that was our only working toilet at the time. I checked Yelp for someone close by that hopefully could make it out the same day. I called Ric, he said he'd be here in a few hours. He was and I can now use the toilet! He even installed the new toilet I was hoping to install soon. Thanks Ric! (Rick?) read more

I had a need to get two toilets replaced as the 35-old ones were clogging a lot, etc. and I had a narrow timeframe as I would be traveling to my mother's in San Diego to make this happen. I requested a quote on Yelp from several local San Diego plumbers. Only one communicated that he could likely do it, then further communicated with me about 3 toilets I was looking at and that I texted to him, asking him which one was best. He agreed to pick them up at Home Depot where I had them waiting, and reconfirmed his estimate. Richard has great communications skills, and showed up on time and did very good, quality work. I highly recommend him. I requested a plumbing line (camera) view as well. All was well with the line, but this provided more assurance that he knows his craft. His receipt/invoice was detailed read more

Reliable, friendly, and fair prices. Needed a stove installed to a gas line over the weekend. Was able to give a quote with some pictures and some easy to answer questions. Kept me in the loop through text about arrival. Easy to communicate with. Will until early for future projects. Don't hesitate to give him a call. read more

Had an issue with a leaking shower that needed a replacement cartridge and Rick came over same day and fixed it up. Very competitive pricing. Will definitely use again with any plumbing needs. read more

Awesome quality service!! Just needed the driveway drain stoppages cleaned and Rick did the job!! Highly recommend!! read more

Called RWB for a last minute emergency. We had great and knowledgeable service. We had a totally separate issue in the house which was fixed without a problem and future recommendations provided. Keeping this number handy for the next time we need it!! Thank you! read more

I needed to have the old three handle faucets in my bath / shower replaced with a single handle. Richard was the only one that would give me a quote without having to come to my house. The price was not cheap but seemed reasonable for the work involved. Bryan who did the work was competent and courteous and did a great job. Also had them install a pressure regulator for my outdoor water to stop damage to my sprinkler system and check the sewer venting in my bathroom. read more

Two toilets were wobbling and needed reseating & resealing. One was leaking. Bryan did a great job with both. All is well (and dry)!

They responded to my Yelp inquiry. Foolishly, I talked to a couple other plumbing companies, and wasted time. When I called to follow up on the Yelp quote, they arranged to have a plumber come out in the evening...just ahead of a 4-day weekend. The supply house delivered the water heater, and the plumber arrived shortly after his target time. The plumber worked fast and proficiently. The job is perfect. The price was good. The customer service and professionalism was excellent in every respect. The company may be based in Descanso, but the supply houses are over in El Cajon, so they apparently have no trouble working anywhere in East County. read more

Customer service was great!! Quick response from Richard to get a quote and easy to talk to. He removed our old water heater and provided & installed a brand new one. The water heater he had quoted us on ended up being the wrong one, so we ended up paying a little bit more. But, I know a quote is just a quote and not a final price, so I'm not docking any stars for that. Richard was great and accommodating to us leaving and doing errands while he was working. When he was finished, he took our old water heater and cleaned up his mess. I also made an oopsie and accidentally turned the water on while he was working, causing water to go everywhere, and he was totally cool about it. Thank you for the great work & for being so friendly throughout it all! Good customer service is hard to find. read more
