I have used Highsmith & Daughters Plumbing on several very different projects over the past few…read moreyears, and Matthew and his team have earned my trust each time. I first met Matthew when he helped a friend's father deal with numerous gas leaks in a mobile home. It was a difficult situation, but he was responsive, professional, and thorough. Later, after we moved into a home in Lancaster, I asked the company to travel from Simi Valley to help overhaul several parts of the plumbing system. The house needed a new regulator and cleanout, and an addition had been plumbed incorrectly with the hot and cold lines reversed. They also replaced an older water heater with a tankless system and rerouted portions of the gas piping as we converted more appliances and systems to electric. They handled several additional problems that demonstrated both persistence and honesty. A serious clog in the main kitchen drain line took more than two hours to break through, but they stayed with it until the line was cleared. During the home inspection, we had also been told that approximately ten feet of piping beneath the house appeared cracked and might need to be replaced. After performing a full video inspection of the plumbing system, Matthew's team determined that the marks were likely only surface scuffs and that the pipe was safe to continue using. Their willingness to give an honest assessment instead of recommending an unnecessary replacement meant a great deal to us. Most recently, they helped at a Scottish Rite commercial building where more than sixteen feet of older cast-iron drainage piping had collapsed. The affected section included multiple connections serving different drains in one of our primary bathrooms. They replaced and rerouted the damaged piping, charged a very fair price, and once again delivered quality work. It is rare to find a plumbing company equally comfortable handling mobile-home gas leaks, a major residential overhaul, difficult drain problems, video inspections, and complex commercial cast-iron drainage repairs. Highsmith & Daughters has been responsive, honest, efficient, and reliable throughout every project. I would gladly call them again and strongly recommend them.

I called several plumbers asking for an approximate quote for a small job, to replace an old…read moregalvanized cold water valve which had a pinhole leak in our laundry room. Every plumber I called insisted on coming out to look, before giving me a quote. I said I had perfect pictures and that it was a small job, but they all still insisted on coming over. My husband could do the job, but he's been sick, so we needed some outside help. This was the ONLY company who agreed to look at my pictures and give me a quote over the phone. Alicia in the office was so kind, understanding & accommodating. Highsmith & Daughters were $200.00 less than the other company who came out to look at the job. Highsmith & Daughters sent out a great plumber. He was on time, professional, thorough, neat & VERY helpful. He also gave us 2 new hoses & then helped to bring in our washing machine, which we had moved earlier so he would have easy access. I see why they have so many excellent reviews. We will definitely call them in the future for any of our plumbing needs.

I came away understanding my setup far better than before, which I really appreciated as a homeowner. Professional, efficient, and clearly cared about doing the job right.

Luis Fernando did a great job helping us with two toilets that were giving us issues this morning…read more One toilet was leaking from the base, and both toilets were constantly running. He took the time to explain what was causing the problems, replaced the failed wax ring, installed new fill and flapper valves, adjusted everything properly, and tested both toilets several times before finishing.

Everything is working perfectly now. I would definitely recommend Luis Fernando to anyone looking for reliable plumbing repair service.

First, why are there 4 different names to this company? Sewer rescue, pro quality plumbing, noble…read moreplumbing, and JC plumbing? I got a quote from Sewer Rescue. They came to our home and within 2 minutes was giving me a quote of $17.5k. Didn't look at the pipes or listen to me at all. I told them I didn't need the kitchen pipes redone, only the bathrooms, and he told me kitchen pipes are always they worst, so we'll do that, too. He said they'd tunnel 6 ft under the foundation of the property, putting someone completely under the house without looking at how it was built or the current state of it. When I asked him questions he was clearly annoyed with me. We've had lead pipes in places, but when I asked about it he said we have good water pressure so I don't need to worry about lead. That makes no sense. After that I stopped asking because I figured we would just be wasting time. I knew at that point I wasn't using this company. They never sent me an estimate or followed up at all. Every red flag in the book. I'd be very careful with this company.

Shellback Plumbing and Drain is hands-down fantastic! If you're dealing with a water heater issue…read morein Santa Clarita, do yourself a favor and call them. My water heater had been giving me trouble over the last couple of months, shutting off sporadically. While I was usually able to reset it myself, it finally gave out completely. There was no gas coming through the line, and it just wouldn't ignite. I called Shellback, and within two hours, Moises arrived at my place. He was incredibly responsive, immediately diagnosed the issues, and gave me a clear breakdown of the work needed and the estimated timeline. The fix required replacing both the thermal pilot assembly and the gas control valve. Since the parts were covered under the manufacturer's warranty, he had to source them from an authorized dealer. To make sure we weren't left completely out in the cold, Moises got the gas ignitor working temporarily on day one. By 9:00am the very next morning, he had already picked up the warrantied parts and finished the permanent replacement! As a great bonus, he also flushed the water heater for routine maintenance before wrapping up. I was blown away by the turnaround time. From my initial call to a fully repaired, flushed system in under 24 hours. Exceptional service from Moises and the team. Highly recommended!

This company isn't honest when working with homeowners and renters …read more When replacing a kitchen sink they installed a defective sink. They tried very hard to just have me accept a sink with a broken faucet . I told them the faucet was broken and the plumber said the homeowner purchased it. No the homeowner paid the plumber for a new sink and it wasn't checked before installing. He just didn't wasn't to have to fix it. Apparently this company cleared the kitchen pipes in February and guarantees their work. Well the pipes back up. I've been renting for 2 months at this house and this plumping company is trying to say that a dozen or so eggs across two months have clogged up recently jetted pipes?! No way. Completely shady. I confront the plumber, the same one that installed the defective sink, he tries to tell me the egg shells caused the back up, but for some reason he feels bad and will offer a discount. Why does he feel bad?? Bill came without any discount. I refuse to use this company ever again.
