The Plumbing Doctor came highly recommended by my employer, and now I completely understand why. Jeremiah came to my house to look at a leak I had in my kitchen cabinet, and they were so professional. They were on time, friendly, talked me through everything they were doing step by step. I clearly let my leak go on for too long and it did a good amount of damage. Jeremiah recommended a water restoration company who came out very quickly after Jeremiah left. And im very thankful Jeremiah recommended this water restoration company. I will only use them from now on and I will highly recommend the Plumbing Doctor to anyone who needs help. I will not stop saying great things about this company and their team. Thank you Plumbing Doctor, and Jeremiah! read more

Had another plumbing company tell me my water heater system needed to be replaced and quoted me a price. I then contacted the Plumbing Doc based on a recommendation for a 2nd opinion/quote. Informing them that I had been w/out hot water for a week (while waiting for the previously mentioned to finally show up), they promptly sent Isaac to my house after my call. Isaac did a very thorough inspection and told me the burner assembly and gas control valve were non-op and needed replacing but not the entire water heater system. Since I was expecting to replace the entire system, and told him such upon arrival, I appreciated the honesty and booked the job. The repair was promptly attended to, full explanations given, and also noticeable was the clean up upon finish. Senior Discount also applied. Definitely no hesitation in recommending the Plumbing Doc to those reading this review. read more

The Plumbing Doc fell from five stars to two in less than a year, and I cannot recommend them anymore. Their previous service-champion has left the company, and the poor substitutes that the Doc sent out the last time we called on this company lied to us, tried to upsell, and then overcharged us anyway despite following their estimate exactly. We paid them onsite to get rid of this company, but the office ignored my complaints after the fact, so for my next call in 2025, I found another plumber (see my other review if you need one now). read more

Wow! I'd advice anyone dealing with these guys to make sure it's a male. Rick the owner screamed at me and told me "F $@ Y$#!" We had a leak fixed they created a new one , they returned and fixed, and within minutes our backflow was leaking. They returned and the recommendation was buy the part ourselves or ask a lawn guy to fix it. They aren't licensed for it. WHAT! Like why did I just pay$165 literally for nothing. Now turned into a $1000 fix that I have to call ANOTHER plumber for! The leak wasn't there the hour before they fixed it. I was told the owner would call. The formen Zack called he was so condescending. Talked to me as if he wasn't a professional AT ALL. Owner gets on the phone and immediately YELLS "YOU'RE GOING TO LISTEN TO ME!" I was floored that a grown man that owned a business would talk to a female this way. I'm old school and this wouldn't have flyed 20 years ago. I told him not to speak to me that way even my husband doesn't talk like that...then he SCREAMS "F%$K Y$U!" After calling back he claimed I cussed at him to cover up his craziness. I would have NEVER stooped so low as to cuss. Insane...I pray if anyone uses them that everything goes 100% correct and NEVER let your wife be alone or conversate with them. I'm currently reporting them to the California Contractors Board. read more

Our outside faucet was leaking and we called the plumbing doc, just as we have in the past and they showed up earlier than anticipated and our repair guy was Isaac. He was very professional and so very nice! This is the same young man that came out last time. We highly recommend the plumbing doc! I love their new pink vehicles for breast cancer awareness. Thank you Isaac for your service! read more

Our main water valve had a leak and was in need of repair. Not knowing of a plumber I went to YELP and came across The Plumbing Doc they seemed to have good reviews so I figured I would give them a call. They were very professional, responsive and reliable. They came out same day to give quote and repair was fixed within a timely manner. Great service and the ladies who answers the phones are all so nice. Tech was knowledgeable and completed work in a timely manner. Will use The Plumbing Doc again and will refer to others. read more

Really came in a pinch. Had an emergency leak from a shower and our usual guys couldn't make it. Called the Plumbing Doctor and they managed to come in within the next few hours. Was super polite to my mom and explained to her the issues and his recommendations. Glad to know we have another company we can call if we need help with plumbing issues! read more

Their team showed up the same day I called. They got my water heater replaced the same day and they plumbed water to my garage fridge. They also brought my water heater install up to code in the process. The price was fair and inline with the other plumbers I spoke to. Their team stayed masked up if my wife or I were in the garage. I appreciate that. read more

I called this company on a Sunday and they were open and available! AJ arrived on time, was polite, and very professional. I felt stressed out having a clogged toilet but AJ put my mind at ease after I saw him put his expertise to work on this problem. If you are looking for an affordable and reputable company with experience, I would highly recommend this company any day of the week. read more

The list begins...I had a leaky shower then my sink plug broke then the toilet wouldn't stop running. I called a couple places on Saturday to fix the toilet. One never called back after I left a detailed message regarding my problem. The second was busy and wasn't sure he could get to me that day. No problem. Thanks for being honest. I turned the water off to that toilet and put off calling until Monday. I read a bunch of reviews from my fabulous fellow Yelpers and decided to call the Plumbing Doc. I called this morning. Got an appt scheduled between noon and 1 and added a water heater flush to my list of fixes. Got a confirmation text for 1 pm, but the guys showed up at 1130...WHAT?! I don't think I've ever been on the early end before. Toilet, check. Sink, check. Shower, check. Until the shower head shot off and almost killed my plumber. That wasn't even on the list! He offered to go get me a new one. Awesome! Water heater? Omg! 20 years old. Only supposed to live for 10. Time for a replacement. The guys took care of everything on my list and everything is shiny and new now. Thanks Yelpers for such a good recommendation. Very professional staff. Great work done. read more

The family was using the showers one after the other one morning and we slowly realized that our water was running cold. After checking out the water heater and trying to reset the pilot light a few times only for it to keep going off, we realized we needed some help. Given the fact we have teen girls, we needed help ASAP. It was the day before a holiday so we had someone respond and check things. They couldn't fix it without ordering a part or replacing the whole heater, which was really old anyways, so we decided to think on it and not pay holiday rates. We paid our fee for the day and had them respond the following non holiday weekday. The same plumber came out, he was super friendly and brought an assistant to replace our 40 gallon to a 50 gallon slightly more efficient model than our old one. We were really impressed with the timeliness, friendliness, and ease of using this business for our water heater replacement. Prices were pretty reasonable too. Thank you Plumbing Doc! read more

The Plumbing Doc - New water heater up to current code finally - Plumbing Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Woke up to the carpet wet and figured it was in the attic. I called and they could get someone out in a few hours. The guys showed up early! They found the leak in about 20 minutes and repaired it in 5 mins. Very friendly guys, explained everything in detail, reliable service and definitely reasonable price. I believe his name is Zac and his partner. Great experience. Will be calling them for future issues. Thank you! read more

Have used Plumbing Doc in the past and was impressed with their service. I found a puddle of water under my sink and traced it to a leaky disposal. Called the 'Doc. They sent someone out the same day, confirmed my suspicions and explained what the cost would be. The job was completed quickly, professionally and for the cost that was quoted. Plumbing service and parts are expensive. Everything is nowadays. In my experience these guys are worth every penny. read more

I called Plumbing Doc for a free quote for them to check the leaks in my bathroom sinks, toilets in both bathrooms, stoppers for my bathtub, and the possible leaks in my water heater. I gave their company my house key because I work during the weekdays and they don't open weekends. The plumber told me that my water heater was too old and needed a replacement. He also quoted me a price for the stoppers. He called me after he left and I agreed to those quotes. When I asked him about the bathroom sink leaks, he said he forgot to check and went back to my house. He said there was one leak and that he fixed it. When he came back to replace my water heater and fixed my stoppers, he forgot to check the leaks again. Luckily, he called me while he was there. He said he fixed that leak already and it's no longer leaking. When I came back, to check my bathroom sinks, it was still leaking. Not sure if the plumber really missed it or just did not want to admit that he did not know how to fix it. I did not appreciate that they left their trash in my garage. However, they did a good job with replacing my water heater and fixing the stoppers though. The water heater was securely strapped. Wish they were open on weekends, so I didn't have to take a day off. read more

The handle to the closed water shutoff valve broke while I was doing some DIY repairs leaving the house without water. The Plumbing Doc staff quickly sent Jerimiah to assess the situation and to give us a quote for repair. Jerimiah was there quickly, did a temporary bypass so that water flow was restored, and gave us a very fair quote for a permanent fix. Later that day we accepted the quote and again the office staff quickly scheduled Jerimiah to return the next day to do the job. Everyone was extremely professional, courteous, and understanding. Jerimiah did excellent work! Too bad there are only five stars in the rating. The staff and Jerimiah deserve ten! read more

This place is amazing. Good prices and friendly employees. Ricky fixed our problem in no time and even exchanged my water heater for free even though i ordered the wrong one from Lowe's. I highly recommend this company. And their prices are affordable. Thx Ricky! read more

The Plumbing Doc - Here's a picture of their handy work. Good job fellas. - Plumbing Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Had some work done , toilets weren't flushing well and sink was leaking. They came in, got everything installed very quickly. Had a minor issue with the toilet install and sink caulking but as soon as I let the owner know he was willing to have someone out that same day. They came back out , got it all sorted. I can't say enough about the Friendly staff , quality work and amazing customer service. Definitely recommend them for any and all plumbing needs. read more

SENIOR DISCOUNT USE THIS COMPANY They go out of there way to accommodate there customers & great work

We went ahead and hired these people to re-pipe my house and I was extremely disappointed. Not only were they very loud, making several gagging noises and shouting but also were very messy leaving dry wall dust on my furniture. They also came to work on the first day smelling like pot and were constantly smoking in my front yard. And with the little time they spent on the re-pipe I can imagine there will be problems on the future, I would discourage anyone from using this company. read more

We called The Plumbing Doc twice in last six months. Once to service the suddenly leaking main water line and another time to take care of a clogged toilet. They responded right away and took care of the problem. I am happy with their Service, Quality and Value and I will definitely use them again. read more

This "team" came out 5 times and didn't resolve the issue until the final time that they came. Toilet just kept on running. Finally they sent the "owner" out and it was repaired for about a month and a half. I called to see if there was some type of warranty or something that I could do to get them to come out and look at it again, but the "owner" was a jackass! I could hear the tension in his voice as soon as I told him my address. I would never, ever, ever, ever!!! Use this place again. Don't care if they are the last plumbing service on the planet. I won't be talked to like that, especially when YOU are the one offering ME a service, JACKASS! Good luck. I think you'll need it. read more

We had a leak coming up through our kitchen floors. They came out quick and assessed. They needed to come back the next day with extra equipment to locate the leak but did not charge us for the second day. Very thorough and friendly. Located the leak quickly. They were also amazing with their customer service at their call center. Highly recommend! read more

Thank you plumbing doc for saving me thousands of dollars! Very honest, respectful, knowledgeable men. They Came out with intentions to cut out a snake that a (different plumbing company) got stuck in my line and planned on jackhammering my floor up and re-piping my sewer line. But thanks to guys they knew what they where doing. They were able to get it unstuck and out of my drain and saved me money. We found our new plumbing company. Look forward to doing business with them I 100% recommend them. read more

Their response time was quick; however, we were charged $150 and they didn't fix anything and couldn't diagnose the problem unless we paid an additional $200. Waste of money. I ended up spending a good amount of time Saturday on the issue and was able to resolve it myself. read more

Had all the pipes in my house replaced with PEX. The tear down and plumbing was fine. They worked around my messy house and only had to turn the water off for a few hours. To access some of the plumbing the drywall and external wall had to be cut open. The repair was included in the job. Do yourself a favor and hire someone else for drywall/stucco. Patches of drywall under the sinks not repaired. The outside stucco isnt supported correctly, if you push a little the wall the stucco moves. Old supply valves not cut off. Dishwasher had to be removed and wasn't reinstalled correctly. One guy repairing the walls came out for 2-3 days patching the drywall. But the job was taking too long so the first guy had to "go to another job", and they sent the second string subcontractor. 2nd guy came out and poorly patched one side of the external wall and completely missed the other side. (Like a huge 8'x2' hole). I had to call back twice to see if they were going to come back and complete the job. A bunch of small details that kept being missed. To their credit, the issues I found while they were doing the job, they fixed promptly. Tl:dr: overall did a decent job on pipes, hire someone else to fix the holes. Also... I suppose I never thought about it. But some of my tools were taken from my garage and used. They weren't stolen or anything. Just used. I suppose it's not a big deal, but they never asked. It was more odd than anything. read more

No need to look anywhere else! Had a major leak in my water line and front yard was flooded. So much so, I had to turn off my water to stop from having a high water bill. -Called at 8am and the technician was there just before 9!! On a Saturday keep in mind!!! Fast response time!! Called other places and they couldn't come until Monday! Jarred was polite and got right to work!! All the digging and going to get parts needed to fix the issue only took 2 hours to fix!!! After he left, realized my water pressure was a little off. Called back and 30 minutes later Jarred came back to fix my water! $297 for a positive experience! Would DEFINITELY recommend the Plumbing Doc and Jarred to fix any plumbing issue! read more

I had a wonderful experience with the plumbing doc. They were the first business that picked up after I called about 8 different businesses, and they luckily accommodated my plumbing emergency in a timely manner. Michael was a great plumber; he answered all my questions and got the problem fixed quickly. It was also reasonably priced. 10/10 would recommend these guys! read more

The plumbing doc is by far the best plumbers in town. They are very knowledgeable and friendly. My plumbing issues at my house were horrible and had many issues. Ricky and Mike came out to my house and diagnosed my problems quoted me and got to work. They also installed a new tankless water heater. Those two guys rock and did an amazing job. They are very professional. Call these guys they are the best. They got my business from now on. read more

Received a referral for this company from a family member, but we were not satisfied with the service. We had dripping showers in 2 restrooms. The guys came to review the work that needed to be done but spent more time on the road than the actual project. We discussed installing new handles, but that did not happen. On top of that ,the rings that go around the knobs were not glued back down, and we had to finish the rest ourselves after paying a pretty penny. The only positive is that the showers are no longer dripping. Long story short. Wish we would have received the 5 star treatment that I see in the comments. read more

Had a plumbing problem on a weekend, these guys were at my house 15 minutes after I called and had the problem fixed in 30. To top it off it cost less than I expected. Couldn't be happier. Thanks again! read more

After calling five other plumbing services, Plumbing Doc was the only company who had time to respond to my immediate need. The guys who came earlier than the time the said someone could come. I really appreciated that they called to let me know they could come earlier. The problem was assessed and fixed within an hour time. However, after reassessing their work, they found there was still a problem. The problem was resolved without an additional charge. Thank you Plumbing Doc for the great professionalism you exhibited in resolving my problem. read more

AJ was fantastic. I called yesterday to the main office because our new home had a sink issue. We couldn't get enough water pressure and for some reason we had no cold water, plus the drinking water pressure was low. Thankfully they had an appointment available for the next day! AJ arrived early and did a fantastic job! My sink is now working and he was very professional. He walked us through what he did and answered all of our questions. I really appreciate the great customer service. read more

I would never recommend this service to anyone. We called in the plumber for an emergency during night hours and during the visit, he went out to what i assumed was to get a tool, but after waiting about 30 minutes, I found him asleep in his car. He then told me they could not fix it until Monday. When I called on Monday, I asked if they had the part to fix it, if not - i would need to call someone else because it was urgent. The manager, Rick, then told me that he didnt like my attitude, told me to call someone else and hung up on me. I called him back to try explain I was just trying to be sure because I could not wait for the 1pm appointment to find out if they could fix it, but Rick hung up on me again. The bright side I suppose is that they said they would not charge me for the first night where the man fell asleep. But an awful experience. read more

Start it all off I was told on the phone that they were to give free estimates and I told them I didn't want him doing anything to it to my hot water heater until we can get up price quote and he gets here he gets one of my balls and screws it on the side and says let me make a call he comes back and says there's nothing we can do I thought there's a hot water heater fixes or whatever and then I get build a hundred and fifty $127 and that's coming out of my 75 year old mothers wallet this man was at my house maybe 5 to 10 minutes at most I told them I did not want any payment today I didn't want you to do any work at all to the machine that would cost me money and because they had a mix-up in their office he said now I got to pay that's not right they mistreat the elderly and they're Liars read more

The Plumbing Doc - Plumbing Near Me - Bakersfield, California

We highly recommend the Plumbing Doc. We called Monday and they were able to get a technician to our home the same day. The service was excellent. Aside from the direct service, my husband asked a random question and we completely forgot that he had asked (pertaining to the kitchen faucet) and the technician called us two days later and let us know he had been working on that question and he had some options for us. We were blown away with how thoughtful this gesture was, and wanted to make sure that they received proper kudos. We will definitely be using the Plumbing Doc for all of our future plumbing needs and highly recommend the service. read more
