Water line
Ashley D.

Mr. Shim was able to give me an estimate immediately after assessing the scope of work. He was also able to schedule the job the next day for a prompt fix to leaky pipes affecting two tenants. The cost of service was about average, as I got another bid to compare. The only thing I wish he would have replaced more of the cast iron pipe as he had access to do so. He also sent lots of pictures once he was done and payment was easily down through Zelle after he sent itemized invoice.

After Install
Kevin H.

I requested a quote to install a bidet toilet and Kevin responded quickly. I had to change the time when the delivery was delayed and texted him for a later date. The communication was good and he confirmed our appointment the morning of the installation as well. Kevin took his time to properly prepare the area, remove the old toilet, and change out the fittings. He carefully installed the new one, tested it for leaks, and had me confirm the positioning before he sealed it with caulking. He cleaned up the area and took away the old one so I wasn't left with anything to do. I was happy that he had lots of experience installing these and I felt he was honest and did not rush through the process. There were other plumbers with more reviews but they would not quote a price for a toilet install even after sending specs, photos, and all relevant info. Instead, they insisted on having someone come out to quote first and then I would be able to decide. I felt this was an unnecessary step with some uncertainty so I took a chance with Shims Plumbing and everything turned out great.

Removed the toilet to show the dirt where the seal needed to be replaced.

Kevin Shim (plumber) responded quickly and was professional in giving a fair quote, getting materials and completing the work. He had to remove the toilet, clean the dirt, and recaulk the seal to make sure it would stop leaking. Overall, I was happy with the outcome and would recommend him highly. I'm glad to have found a reliable plumber that I would call for any future work needed. Thanks!

New pipes

Came the same day for a quote and arrived the next day with new parts. Very professional, humble, and quick. I will be referring him to all my friends and family! Thank you!

Cali Rooter & Plumbing is my new go-to company for reliable plumbers. They answered my call and…read morewere out the next day to take care of a couple bathroom issues. The technician diagnosed the issue on the spot, gave me a price, and completed the work in 30 minutes. They showed up on time and performed with no incident or delay. I would suggest this company to anybody for any plumbing or drain needs, and I will call then first next time I have any issues!

My sister recommended I do a sewer scope "just in case" since she encountered some costly issues on…read moreher property that could have been prevented with a sewer scope and preventative work. I reached out to a bunch of companies and went with the cheapest (not Cali Rooter and Plumbing) since I figured they'd all be doing the same thing and I didn't expect them to find anything. Well, to my unpleasant surprise, they told me that I needed a new sewer pipe from my property to the street. Despite the fact that the entire plumbing system had been overhauled five years earlier as part of an extensive renovation and all the new plumbing was okay, they had connected everything to the original pipe from the 1940's. They showed me some blockage that was already happening and said that if I didn't replace the pipe I could have an issue with water backing up into the house, causing damage. Given that this was no longer just a sewer scope, I did some more research and based on reviews, asked Cali Rooter for a second opinion. They came out first thing the following morning (like 10 hours later) and told me that I not only needed to repair the sewer pipe, but I also had to get a liner. They suggested that the other company was either negligent, or knew that I needed the liner and was going to wait until the trench was dug already and I was forced to say yes to the upsell. Cali Rooter said that they could come as soon as the rain stopped, about 4 days later, to do the entire repair. Communication was great throughout, they showed up around 9 am and were done by around 3 pm and it looks like they were never there (my biggest concern was the landscaping). They also serviced the two water heaters on my property as a courtesy. All around great service - great communication, fast responses and service. So far so good with the new pipe, although I guess if they did things right, I won't know until after things don't go wrong for decades.

This group is unique where they're great communicators, effective problem solvers, task oriented, and genuinely nice people. I had them add clean out valves to a tankless and they were flawless throughout the process. Jake made sure all the right parts were used and lined up a great technician who did a great job on the install. They troubleshoot and are effective. The technician, Jimmy, stuck around and mentioned when he turned on the water he heard what he recognized as high water pressure in the pipes and to check the water pressure regulator on the unit. The condo shared this and we found out this is in fact an issue the HOA was having with the entire building. They have someone replacing it now but the fact that after the job was done Jimmy mentioned what he felt wasn't right, was awesome. You'd be surprised how many plumbers get in, do the thing, and bounce. Or try and upsell you on stuff, they seemed to be in it to make sure it's right. I truly appreciate that. Strangely enough, shortly after, I had another plumbing emergency and Jake was on it. They're scheduled to fix the issue first thing tomorrow and Jake gave me a great price. Can't ask for better. Will be calling them again.
