I have been happily doing business with Steele Plumbing for over a dozen years with the original founder and more recently with the new team. Steele Plumbing has consistently delivered prompt and reliable service at a fair value. They analyze my concerns precisely, often with the use of their video equipment, to explain the causes of such problems as back-ups, leaky equipment, and how I can continue at home with ongoing maintenance. Steele's team is skillful at describing steps my family can take to avoid future problems - how to avoid grease build-up and the use of "disposable" wipes, how to undertake regular flushing out of my drains and water heater, and how to keep my kitchen disposal sharp and hygienic. Steve and Justin are excellent representatives of the ongoing professionalism Steele brings to plumbing issues both small and large. read more

Steele Plumbing is incredible! I had a water leak in the main line halfway up my 100-yard concrete driveway, which climbs a steep hill to my house. It was a nightmare! The first plumber I called took one look at the situation, said "no way," and left. Then I called Steele Plumbing. Justin and Steve arrived at 8 AM the next morning. With some help from CPL, they quickly located the leak, even though the pipe was buried 5 feet deep. They carefully saw-cut the concrete to keep the edges neat, loaded the broken pieces onto their truck, and hauled them away. In under three hours, Justin had found the broken pipe, repaired it, tested the water, and backfilled the area. I want to thank everyone at Steele Plumbing for their professionalism and dedication. They turned a daunting situation into a job well done. Thank you, Mike S. read more

Tree roots. Ugh!!! I hadn't even moved into my home last year, I was doing some renovations beforehand when my contractor called and said we have a plumbing problem. Sure enough. The water kept backing up through the bottom floor shower drain. I was in panic mode. I was about to move in and I'm already having plumbing issues?!? I happened to call Steele Plumbing. Brett and Steve assured me they could arrive within the hour and they'd get it figured out. Sure enough, they pulled up ahead of schedule and immediately went to work. They snaked the line providing immediate and temporary relief. But then they ran a camera through and saw - tree roots! - noooo. They said - don't worry we can hydro jet the line and it will clear out the roots and it will last for years. Sure enough. It worked perfectly and I haven't had any plumbing issues since. I won't hesitate to call Steele Plumbing in the future for any/all my plumbing needs. Thanks Brett and Steve. read more

Steele Plumbing just completed MAJOR repairs to my drainage system. My home was built in 1936 on a canyon in North Park. Much of the drainage system was original cast iron and was buried 7 feet underground. It was jammed with roots and deteriorating. Steve and Justin were extremely experienced and kind. They did a terrific job for a little more than than half the price the estimate I had from one of the heavily advertised local "big guys". I highly recommend them. read more

Justin was our fourth plumber (two were leak section companies) to come out for a leak that had been going on under our sink for a few months. He was the only one with enough common sense to check if all the connections were tight. He tightened up what was loose and the leak is gone! Thank you to Justin! We would use him again in a heartbeat read more

I was extremely impressed with the service and value that I received from Steele Plumbing today! The receptionist was very courteous and respectful of my time from my first contact . Justin, the plumber who came to my home, was very knowledgeable, efficient, and polite. I was given this recommendation from my awesome plumber who is out of town this week, and knew I needed a reputable company to fix a leak that could not wait! Now I have another awesome plumbing company to call. I am so appreciative. Finding a company with integrity is like finding gold. Thank you to Justin and Steele Plumbing! read more

The price was very high compared to other plumbers I have used before. I believe the work was well done and professional.

They came out to my mothers house for a faucet that was leaking in a downstairs bathroom and charged $275 to fix it. Next day faucet is still leaking and they quoted the only way to fix it is to replace the faucet and quoted her $1200!!! Taking advantage of older women is disgusting!! Wouldn't recommend this company to anyone!! Crooks! read more

We had a urgent water heater situation. We reached out to Steele Plumbing right away. We knew we need to replace our old water heater.

These folks are honest and quick to respond. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!! read more

Steele Plumbing - New water heater replaced by Steele Plumbing! - Plumbing Near Me - San Diego, California

I called Tues 1/21/2020 to schedule a plumber. I asked if they could come the next day, Wednesday, but they were unavailable since they were working on a church all day. I scheduled for Thursday morning from 8-9. I took time off of work on thurs and I called around 7:15 to confirm a plumber will be there. The lady I spoke to told me she never talked to me and neither did her assistant. She kept asking who I spoke to, and just because I didn't remember the name does not make it my fault they didn't have me in their books. Here is the screenshot of the time I called on tues. maybe the two lady's can figure out with each other who I spoke to. So unprofessional and wasting people's time. read more

Steele Plumbing - Maybe they can figure out who was on the clock during that time. - Plumbing Near Me - San Diego, California

I wanted to support local and they were very friendly and helpful. I had to get some piping under my sink redone due to a new sink. Their estimate was about 60% less than Anderson. They came when they said and even asked if I wanted to see and learn what they were doing and some things to prevent future issues. Great job and I will definitely be calling Steele every time! read more

10 STARS! If I ever have any more plumbing problems (lord I hope not) I will always call Steele. We just moved into a new house and already spent $1,700 on plumbing by the time I called them. Guest toilet flooded into the hallway on a Monday night at 9:30pm. Turns out there was a block in the main. That was a 3 day ordeal. Trying to deal with one thing at a time, the Master toilet had been running since we moved in, that was on hold as it was a non-emergency. My dad suggested Floyd & Howerton, but turns out the company had been acquired by Steele when Mr. Howerton passed away. And I could not be happier I ended up with them! The boss man himself came over to deal with our toilet, a couple simple fixes. He also tightened up the seat and noticed the toilet had a very strange flap that is no longer made. He offered to dig around to try and find a new one, other wise next time there was a issue, it would mean a new toilet. Ugh. They followed up and of course my luck would have it, it's no longer made. (We'll deal with the fix next year as he says we have some time.) And before he left he inspected our water heater and the garbage disposal! Today boss man came over again to check out fireplace gas valve. All was good. I asked if he had to run, and he said no. So he also did the piping to convert our fireplace to wood burning, AND I asked about the reversed hot/cold in our master shower and he took care of that too! I have only dealt with the owner so far, but I would like to think his employees are all friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and kind....just like he is. I hope to not need them, but Steele is the only plumbing company I will call if we need a plumber. Price wise I think they are fair, though maybe a tad on the high side, but as the daughter of a father who was in the construction trades....I will pay for work knowing it is done right the first time. read more

Both Joe and Laurie of Steele Plumbing was very helpful and kept me well informed throughout the process of repairing a house line gas leak. They got me an appointment quickly and was prompt, professional, and very courteous. They cleaned up after themselves and took care of all the county/city permits needed to get my gas turned back on. I highly recommend them and won't hesitate to call if I need their service again. Thank you Steele Plumbing! read more

Professional, timely, courteous, and by the way did I mention Professional! I contacted Steele Plumbing at 7:00 in the morning, Laurie had the crew at my house by 9:30 the same morning. Joe and Randy evaluated the problem and showed me the problem (tree roots in the ancient cast iron plumbing and offered me a two choices, a quick fix or permanent solution. Since the problem would continue to occur we chose the permanent solution which was quickly completed. Joe and his crew did a fantastic job fixing the problem while minimizing damage to our landscaping. While they were here they evaluated and quickly corrected a problem with my tankless water heater. Steele plumbing will be my plumbers in the future. I highly recommend the Steele family plumbing co. read more

And this is saying a lot for a guy like me that built commercial buildings and fuel facilities all over the US. read more

I have the water pressure regulator replaced when I bought my house. And several weeks later, my tenant told me that water pressure regulator is leaking slowly, maybe 1 drop a day. The plumber came and said it was condensation. They did nothing and just charged me $95. Several days back, I covered the regulator with a ziploc bag. Today I see around 1 spoon of water in the bag! The water pressure regulator is in the garage. How come there's condensation in both winter and summer? read more

Really - 100 gold stars! I cannot possibly say enough about this company and its staff! A minor leak (toilet) turned into a major flood! I contacted Steele Plumbing on a Saturday morning. I spoke with Lori (spelling) who was professional, kind, and calmed me down. She told me that there would be a tech (correct word?) out to my house in about 1 hour. And guess what, he was there! Scott was simply amazing. He identified the issues and told me what he was going to do. At that time, my bathroom floor was about 1/8th in water. So from a tiny leak to a soaking wet floor, Scott performed "miracles". It was repaired and replaced quickly and totally professional. So now I have fans in my bathroom hopefully drying up water and hoping that it did not impact sub-flooring. So, all in all, while this was not how I chose to spend my Saturday, finding Steele Plumbing was simply perfect! Thanks Steele Plumbing - you are simply the best!! read more

I looked for & discovered a bad leak at my water meter after a $831 water bill for just the three of us, no irrigation. The city would not come look at it for 6-8 weeks. So I Googled plumbers and found Steele. I called and Laurie the dispatcher told me it's $142 to dispatch, plus repairs. As a contractor myself, I understand why prices are what they are. It's to stay in business, it's to keep the doors open! Nobody's getting rich. That's just the way it is. She even offered to call the city as an emergency on our behalf. That proved to be a reason for the issue I had. So, on a Friday night, about 6:30 pm, two men from Steele Plumbing arrived at my door. I took them to the water meter out at the street. They agreed with me, the pipes are leaking on both sides of the meter. Not rocket science. They then told me that the union on the metered side was bad and that about two feet of pipe had to be replaced. My wife came outside. She actually asked if it was just a bad washer! They said no, not a washer problem, bad union. The quote was $750 to fix. She then asked if that was the best price they could offer as we'd just paid our mortgage and that maybe it should be fixed by the city. No negotiating. The price is $750! I asked if anything else could be done. NO. My wife asked if the city would fix it for free. "Don't know, don't think so. They might not even show up". We'd be without water if they began the job and the city showed up and put a halt to it. So we were pretty much without a choice. I told them to just fix it. They had to completely pull the cement hand-hole out of the ground. Then dig down around the leaking pipes. Mud was everywhere. They cut the pipe 2 feet out. Then the city lady arrives!! First thing she says to me (she thinks I'm one of them) "Why did you cut that pipe and why did you remove the hand hole?" Well, I didn't! They did. AND "All you had to do was REPLACE THE WASHER!" I was stunned. What? Then she realized I was the homeowner and immediately said "You don't look too happy right now". Ya think? I went inside before I said something I couldn't take back. She had also mentioned to my wife that the city would have fixed it for free. In the plumbers defense, I'd have to ask, when?? When would the city fix it for free? She was there only to access. So I paid them their $750 at 8:45 pm and got no sleep all night thinking I'd been had, and I'm a contractor myself. On Monday morning, Laurie called me at my office. She was very concerned about my wife & I. She told me that the owner wanted to meet with me at my house. On Tuesday at noon, I met with Tom Steele who explained some things to me regarding the city. He showed me a patch in the asphalt where the city had been digging, probably pulled the pipes apart at my meter. He told me that these city "doughnut shop employees" find it easy to make evaluations when they've never turned a wrench in their lives. He stood by his plumbers as a boss should. He did not toss them under the buss. He also admitted that maybe there were other options for his plumbers to consider. However, he took full responsibility for the situation. He gave me my $750 check back. He explained that Steele Plumbing is in this for the long haul, not grab what they can and run like hell, like some local contractors. I respect that. Will I call Steele again? You bet. Everyone makes mistakes. As a contractor, I know things happen that shouldn't. Jim Dent Point Loma Electric read more

Quality of work is in the details. Which are fantastic. I just think they are too expensive.

Wow! what a great experience... Joe and Laurie were amazing from the start. I've had trouble with 2 plumbers in San Diego doing bad work and charging way too much before. Steele was quite different, Joe came shortly after I called and quickly diagnosed the problem we had with the heater, gave us an exact estimate and got it fixed the same day. Will use again. Thanks! read more

Living in a house that was built in the 1950's plumbing issues DO arise. We have relied on Steele Plumbing for over ten years to take care of our problems. They have done a couple of major plumbing jobs to our complete satisfaction. The latest was a complete redo of our front bathroom from the floor up including adding a shower which we never had in that bathroom. The workmen did a fantastic job and the end result is absolutely fabulous! read more

My experience with Steele Plumbing was not a happy one. They arrived on time and asked about the problems. They (there were 2 men that came) finished the work and I paid the fee (very expensive). One toilet kept cycling on and running a few seconds. When I called the office to ask that the plumber return and check it out and make an adjustment, I was told that the water pressure was too high and they wouldn't come back unless I had them install a new pressure regulator. Why it wasn't explained BEFORE doing any work that nothing was guaranteed unless a pressure regulator was installed, I don't know. For that matter, why didn't they at least try to adjust the pressure regulator that was in place. I was also told that the toilet kept cycling on because of the water pressure and that there was no adjustment that could be made. The woman on the phone was neither helpful nor courteous. I called another plumber who came out and made an adjustment and the problem was solved, WITHOUT having a new water pressure regulator installed. read more

I bought my first house and of course the first problems I had were plumbing issues. A friend of mine had used Steele plumbing and recommended them to me.

You can tell that these guys are true professionals. read more
