Patriot Plumbing & Restoration

We found Patriot through Angie’s list. Dino came out and spend tons of time looking at our plumbing issues and formulating a plan. They replaced one toilet, reinstalled another, replaced several shut off valves, installed a new garbage disposal and air gap and a new main line shut off valve and pressure regulator! They were honest, professional and a pleasure to do business with! Even after we installed a new dishwasher, and those installers messed up his work, he came out and fixed it right away. Highly recommend this company.

had a water heater leakage. Plumber came in on a Sunday to replace the heater. It was a bit on the expensive side, but it was a weekend, worked hard. Had to use the restoration service afterwards. Daniel and his crew where professional and responsive. Over all happy with the experience.

I am really glad I had the pleasure of working with these guys at Patriot. They are professional, friendly, and really know what they are talking about. I had a leak in my upstairs bathtub, which led to secondary damages to my laundry ceiling and adjoining walls. Dino and Mike put me at ease when I called explaining my problem. Daniel and Angel, with the Restoration Division, came out to assess the problem and do what they do best (e.g. check for extent of water damages, mold, cut out drywall, set up fans and dehumidifier to dry out the moisture level, etc). They did a fantastic job, answered all my questions and walked me through the claim filing process with my home insurance. Daniel and Patriot returned all my phone calls within a reasonable time frame the same day. This is the exact type of customer service that we all need when it comes down to emergency services like my situation. We want to be put at ease and have that peace of mind– Patriot and their entire crew delivered and did just that. Thank you for everything so far! I highly recommend Patriot Plumbing and Restoration to anyone. If you had the chance to read some of the other reviews you will also know that they are a reputable company being on Angie’s List.

I found Patriot thru Angies List and have used them for repipes on my residence and also plumbing issues on a rental house. Their latest work to clear a main line and install cleanouts involved scoping out the line with a fiberoptic camera, locating the clog, and installing a new cleanout in the 60 year old rental to avoid problems in the future. As always, James, who has worked on all my «projects» arrived when promised with his fellow plumber Mike and proceeded to dig up the front lawn to expose the pipe. It was one of the hottest days of the year, but these two guys did the job, showed and explained to me what they were doing, and completed the work while accommodating my tenants. The did a first rate job and did it at a very fair price. They are always the first plumber I refer to my neighbors.

They arrived on time per their appointment. This was very nice as it was a Sunday and this was an emergency situation. They explained everything that they were doing and why it was necessary. They fixed the issue within an hour and cleaned up as if there was never an issue.

Beware of the overcharge act! I contacted Patriot Plumbing to get a quote for a leaky valve. The initial process of quoting was simple: they requested that I text them a picture of the valve. They immediately texted back a quote that seemed high, but fair enough. I accepted and Fred showed up later in the afternoon. So far so good, five stars!
Let the show begin! He went on a tirade of distress and gripe about how it is 1-​inch instead of ¾ piping, how it is difficult to get to the valve (not difficult at all), and how the water pressure was wrong, and that the picture did not show everything, etc. He was being coached live on his mobile phone as he talked to me, exhibiting the trudge of the job he was going to deal with, to make things worse than they really were. And I almost saw it coming. He said: It is going to cost you $ 1,200 to replace this valve! Shaking his head in discontent.
Do not fall for such scare tactics, even if you don’t know anything about plumbing.
Now, I have replaced valves in my days, I simply did not want to touch this one because it was the main water shutoff valve for my house. I simply asked him to leave.
I contacted a trusted friend who is a landlord and asked her if she could recommend a plumber who will not gouge my eyes and ask for a kidney. She did, I hired them, they completed the job in no time and charged me less than the initial quote that Patriot gave me. I was so happy with their work that I am willing to refer them to anyone in Orange County looking for a trustworthy plumber. Simply contact me through Unilocal if interested.

I’ve used them before to install toilets, a water heater, etc. and they were great. This crew is FIRST RATE and they back all their work and great reputation. If you want to get the job done right call them. We had an emergency leak behind our shower that was dripping down into the neighbor’s condo below us. They came in promptly to address the issue, identified it, and went to work right away. They called in a restoration technician, Daniel, to access the water leak damage and he was very professional. He showed us pictures and went over everything in detail. He diagnosed it and fixed it at a discount price giving us AND the neighbors total peace of mind. James had an extensive repair to make on the old shower piping behind the wall in addition to replacing all the shower fixtures due to their age and wear. He explained it all and answered any questions or concerns. Prices were very competitive and they gave us plenty of options to choose from for our old bathroom depending on your budget. This crew has a lot of experience and has seen it all. They can even do extensive remodeling and high-​end DESIGN work that I will certainly call them back for in the future. Dino, Mike, Daniel, and James were great!

They are punctual and seem to know what they are doing, but they are *extremely* expensive. I actually believe that I was overcharged, but being a new, young homeowner, I didn’t know any better. (And I think they may have taken advantage of this fact.)
Before my 10% discount, they charged me about $ 960 to clear/​video a main line blockage and reseat a toilet. Other companies charge $ 50-​$ 100 to clear a line. (Not sure about toilets).
They won’t be getting my business again. I’d stay away.

Sad to say that even when I wanted to use plumbers in Irvine, I was quoted a ridiculous repair quote of $ 298.00 to replace a toilet valve and flapper, breakdown $ 150 for labor & $ 148 for parts. You can buy the parts for under $ 50 or less. I called another family owned Plumber in Costa Mesa & they came in & did the repair plus a 2^nd toilet flapper for $ 202.50.
Some people are just foolish & does not think about repeat business and just think that all customers are dumb.

Had a problem with some outside drains, needed to get it cleared. Called other places and had a few come out. All tell me I need to hydrojet then will likely need to reline the pipes. Multiple quotes from $ 5−7k. Call Patriot and Mike tells me they can be out in a few days. Get a call back and message a short time later from Mike saying their truck is not going to be available and that he’s very sorry but will have to reschedule. Call him back the next day and we decide on 10am-​1pm the next monday. This actually happened with a few other companies but Mike was the most professional and courteous of all the offices I spoke with.
James came out today and in the beginning the story about what needs to be done is a lot different from everyone else so I get a little annoyed and start asking more questions. I think he could tell I was annoyed but answered all my questions courteously and respectfully. After talking to James for a few minutes it was apparent he knew what he was talking about. Also, during his inspection, he was the only plumber to actually put water thru the drain to see what was going on. I let James know what other plumbers had said about relining and he told me that they would not perform that but that there were better ways to fix the problem but that he would have to get started clearing out the drains before he could give me a better estimate (every other plumber was very quick to get me their $ 5−7k estimate). He then proceeded to spend the next 2 hours snaking the drains. After the 2 hours were up he showed me how much better the drains were flowing and that relining or repiping wasn’t really necessary. I then asked him hydrojet a few pipes to get it a little clearer (wasn’t pushed on me, I just wanted to be thorough). He finished up 2 hours later and our drain was flowing like it was just put in… lol I can’t say enough good things about James and Patriot Plumbing. I will definitely recommend to anyone that asks!!! Don’t know if you can, but ask for James, he really was great!

This was a second time we called a plumber. This time we called the right plumber. Patriot plumbing! Not only did Dino fix our faulty shower for fair price but he even fixed an issue we had from a previous plumber who didn’t properly install our kitchen faucet. Dino and junior are professional, honest and simply good people!!! Thank you Dino and Junior!!! We will recommend you guys every chance we get!!!

I had a pipe water leak under the concrete slab foundation. Fortunately there was no water damage to house, floors, walks etc yet. I could hear the faint sound of water running when no one was using the water. There are a couple of easy tests you can do to confirm leaks. I went online & YouTube and researched. My house, the foundation, the walls, floors, etc could get damaged & cost $ 1000s to repair. It could be a nightmare to repair.
I called a couple plumbers, Patriot was the only one with a live person to talk to. I made appointment. They showed up, and did the water detection first. Very professional & courteous. They made diagnosis and discussed several options. Dino made it very clear to me what they were going to do, what size copper pipes they would use & how long it would take & the cost. I opted for rerouting the hot & cold pipes up to attic, and down to affected shower, toilet & sink.
Their price was not low but reasonable. The lowest bidder is not often the best work, nor is a high bidder guaranteed to do a good job either. Reputation is everything to me. It should be for you too. I I don’t like to gamble with my time, my house, my nerves or my money. Patriot plumbing in Torrance is highly rated on Angie’s list. I also had them replace the dry wall that needed to be removed in order to re-​pipe. I did the re-​painting the walls myself. The underground hot & cold water pipes will no longer be used. I don’t need to worry about pipes ever leaking under the slab again.
I could’ve chose the easy & cheapest way: have them break thru the floor, the concrete slab, the fix the pipe then cover everything up. Then I’d need to replace our concrete, fix the flooring, etc. unless I wanted to pay them for doing it. And the problem can happen again! And next time, there could be extensive water damage too. How much more would that cost!!!
They worked on schedule, and clean up after each day. My peace of mind is priceless.
I would use them again & recommend them to anyone who wants the job done right.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
They are very professional.
It started with the Dispatcher who was very nice and understood the urgency of the repair.
Got someone within the hour and the pricing is reasonable.
Hats off to the Technician James. GREAT JOB!
James was through and expained each step needed to resolve the problem.
So nice with a pleasant attitude.
Thank you so much!

I was referred to Dependable Graham and called them out to check out my A/​C units. Bill came out spent about 40 minutes, replaced two small parts and charged me $ 405. I then asked him how much it would cost to move the two A/​C units over 14 inches. He first said $ 500 and then moved it up to $ 600. I then called Randy, the owner at Patriot Heating, Air & Plumbing (714) 422‑8625.
Randy at Patriot said over the phone it would not be over $ 500. I called Dependable Graham back and asked them if they would match that price and they told me NO. Randy came out a couple of hours that same day, moved them over 14 inches, re-​taped the padding on the lines and only charged me $ 140. Randy at Patriot has my business for life. Marie

As I was driving out of my complex, I saw a Patriot Plumbing van at a neighbor’s place. I pulled over and talked to the technician to see if he had time to take a look at my slow draining bathroom sink. He took down my information and passed it along to the office.
I received a phone call from Mike in an hour and he scheduled a technician to come by to my house later that afternoon. As soon as Mike found out there was a delay, he gave me a call to update me on the status of the technician.
Fred the plumber showed up, and was friendly with me and my dog. =) He noticed that my house is a «no shoes» house, and took his shoes off outside without me even asking! I really appreciated that! =)
Fred was quick to diagnose why the water drained so slowly in my bathroom sink, and was also quick to fix it. Speedy, friendly, trustworthy service!
Thanks Patriot Plumbing!

I had called other places which either gave me an answering machine or we’ll call you back to set an appointment for an estimate type of response. Once I called, they were quick to assist and was able to come by around 7pm to fix an issue with my kitchen sink. They assessed the situation and gave me a fair deal and were quick. No issues or complaints!

I had a major leak under the front patio that another plumber couldn’t fix. Patriot Plumbing solved my problem in less than a day and was at a very reasonable price. Also guaranteed! Thank you!

I called in during the day time and I was told over the phone that no one could come by since they were booked till the following week. Little did I know how much they care for their customers. They promised they would send someone after work hours to my parents place and roughly around 7 o’clock Junior, one of the plumbers, was there promptly and ready to fix our kitchen sink. The garbage disposal and the entire kitchen sink was leaking for the past week or so. We’ve been having problems after remodeling the kitchen with leaky pipes and clogs for a lengthy amount of time. Within a few minutes or so he explained how he has to come back with the proper set up in order to fix the situation. I thought he was referring to the next day but half hour later he comes back with a new garbage disposal, a few pipes, and place matts.
CLEANILESS was something he, the company, took pride on. He placed out matts insuring us that he would minimalize any mess left behind. After an hour of tedious work on fixing the sink, he cleaned up the area of work and threw out the old garbage disposal. Even was happy to being supervised in order to make sure that the work was done right.
Next time we remodel the house or need any plumbing services we are definitely calling these guys again. They understand that the customer is stressed out and they do their best to fix the situation cleanly and swiftly.

I recently had 2 pipes break involving my kitchen. One was a drain pipe that involved the sink and dishwasher, and the other was the pipe that brings hot water into the kitchen. I called Patriot Plumbing, and Dino was at my house within 45 minutes. It was Memorial day weekend, and Dino’s staff worked Friday and Saturday to assure that I would be able to use my appliances over the weekend, and to make sure we could get hot water to the entire house.
Also, Dino explained both short and long term ramifications of various remedies for my problem, so when I decided on a plan of action, I felt confident that I had made the right decision for the present and the future. Personally, I’d rather fix something just once, since in the long run, it saves on money and aggravation. Dino only uses top rated components, and always works according to building codes. He may not be the cheapest plumber, but his work is done to last.
All things considered, I have found Dino and his crew to be very responsive to phone calls, very fast in coming to actually solve the problem, and very reasonably priced. I intend to hire him again next Spring to do a bathroom remodel.

Dino and his team have worked on my parents Laguna Niguel home several times over the last few years. They are always fast, friendly, courteous and do a great job. They are mindful of our pets, and from unclogging a garbage disposal to installing a new water heater to laying over 100 feet of copper pipe (!) the work has always been top notch. If you are in OC you cant do better than these professionals.
