Sal’s Plumbing

Just had a repair job done by Gino. Came right away. He fixed the problem within minutes. Has very great personality! I would recommend Sal’s plumbing to everyone. Very reasonable price.

This company is great! I initially hired them as a result of their excellent Unilocal reviews and have used them twice for some small jobs.
About two weeks ago, my main plumbing line broke (which I did not realize) and they were out in under an hour. What a mess I had in two downstairs bathrooms! When it was diagnosed, Sal’s was always there on time and did what they said they would do. David Flores was the main person I worked with but Joe was also great.
When the restoration people were supposed to put back two toilets and a sink, all they did was the sink. David saw the sink was improperly installed and leaked. So he reinstalled it and the two toilets, as I did not trust the restoration company for a number of reasons and did not want them back.
This was a nightmare job and they made it easier to cope with. I would give them 1,000 stars if I could.

Excellent customer service! Woke up to issues with my downstairs bathroom (toilet and shower backed up) worst nightmare ever!!! Made a total of four calls to different places, kept leaving messages. Sal’s plumbing took my call, heard my issue and they were here within 30 min! Gino took care of the issue in the most professional way! Fast, efficient and the price was not too bad considering it was an «emergency» visit! Highly recommend them! Thank you Sal’s plumbing !!!

Took my first shower in my new place and came downstairs to a flooded kitchen. Found Sal’s online and based on good reviews I gave them a call. A few hours later the leak was fixed and good as new. Reasonable price for what they had to do and very professional service. Would definitely use them again.

Absolutely the most professional service I have ever had. The technician arrived early, was clean and very polite. He evaluated our problem quickly, knew exactly what we needed and executed it perfectly. He explained everything he did for us and showed us that it was back in working order before he left. I waited to write this review to see if the problem stayed fixed which it has. Thank you so much for the fast and friendly service. These guys are the best and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs help.

Can’t thank these guys enough! They were professional, fast, clean, and took great care of us. They were here as soon at are earliest convenience, and fixed our shower quickly. Thank God for Joe and his crew!

I am so impressed with Sal’s plumbing, the owner went out of his way to get our shower back in order in a timely and tidy manner. I swear the plumber, Joe, left the bathroom cleaner than he found it. Joe, the owner, saved us time and money by being knowledgeable, professional, and fast. I know I will be using Sal’s anytime I need a plumber and I highly recommend them to anyone.

They did a fair job fixing the issue but charged twice as much as our regular plumber. Too expensive!

I can’t say enough good things about Sal’s Plumbing! We have been using Carter’s Plumbing for years and my son found Sal’s on Unilocal.Nick came to service our disposal and was as good as it gets. He was quick, professional, and friendly. I would recommend using them to anyone and everyone.

So far so good, they are currently working on a main water line hole and a couple of copper line breaks. For a project in Rancho Palos Verdes. Called in an emergency service this morning, was told he would arrive within 30 minutes, which they did. Hopefully everything gets wrapped up today and I can post my official positive star rating.

Mario came by and totally bailed me out from a home DIY project which I totally botched up. Mario was very professional from start to finish. He gave me a call letting me know he was on his way and when he’d probably arrive. Once he got here, he diagnosed the problem and took care of it fast and did a great job. I have to say, Mario was really nice, very personable, and obviously knew his stuff. I would definitely recommend.

Highly recommended! Plumbing issues are always a pain, but the staff were so friendly and helpful from the receptionist to the plumbers. They came out really quickly and did a great job! They explained what the issues were and what they were doing to resolve it, kept me informed each step of the way. Respectful of my house, very professional. Prices are great and they really helped make this inconvenient situation as pleasant as possible. I’d happily call them for future issues and definitely recommend them to my family and friends!

Great prices, great suggestions, always quick to respond, and quick to fix the problems 100% every time, and always clean up behind themselves. Thank you Joe and Team for a job well done keeping my old house running and draining the way it should!

My toilets, shower, bath tab, kitchen sinks, all got water backed up, my house main drain line stuck last night. So I used Unilocal to search Sal’s Plumbing.
Called them on 6:30 am this morning, a lady took my note carefully and told me their service professional will be my house between 9:00 to 11:00.
I was very happy to have Gus coming to my house on 8:30 am, Gus pulled his heavy duty drain cleaner to solved my stuck drain line immediately finished before 9:00 am. I was also worry about they might charge me a lot, however Gus called Joe to report what he completed and even asked a discount for me! Thank you guys! 5 stars is not even enough to grade! People in Sal’s Plumbing is nice people like you and me, they understand how to do the right job. Definitely recommended!

For the full story, see my initial review. This is my response to the owner’s comment: Please do the right thing and refund for Mario’s lazy and incompetent service, for overcharging, for hiking the prices above the quote, leaving a leaky bath faucet and pushing $ 1,000 prices without checking his previous work.
Where I’m at now with Sal’s Plumbing and Joe the owner is I have asked for a refund for installation of defective parts. Rather than issue a refund, Joe the owner sent messages about conspiracy theories. The owner admits Mario made a mistake and needs to be talked to for poor work, but he will not refund until I delete my review.
To summarize my experience with Sal’s Plumbing:
1. Quoted $ 350 for 1 hr replacement work when it should be at most $ 200.
2. Installed a used and broken cartridge. See photo.
3. Wrote on the invoice that the defective cartridge was NEW. See photo.
4. Billed $ 395 instead of quoted price of $ 350
5. Left leak
6. Did not fix leak or even check work for defects or debris on 2^nd visit
7. Recommended $$$$ DEMOLITION of shower wall tile.
8. New plumber gets everything done right the first time at a fair price.
9. Sal’s Plumbing is holding onto my $ 395 and now claims I’ve been hired by a competitor.
10. Don’t get ripped off by this company. Joe the owner said it himself, he believes this is the best they can do.

My experience with Sal’s Plumbing over the past week has been as fantastic as it could be, considering my kitchen sink completely backed up and I had family visiting. I called them and explained the situation over the phone. Within an hour or so, Sal’s was at my door. The plumber was wearing a company uniform, courteous and came prepared to work.
He snaked my kitchen drain but was unable to clear it as the blockage was way down towards the main sewer line. We went into my garage and found the «cleanout» for the line and he proceeded to open it up. He used a shopvac to make sure no water escaped the pipe as he opened it and did a great job to keep my garage clean. From that point he deployed a snake down into the sewer line, and then high pressure water. Unfortunately as he reeled back in the water line it hooked on an edge and he determined that a joint under the concrete had separated and dirt was coming into the pipe. He deployed a camera and meticulously showed me the live feed as he went along the pipe. Unfortunately the pipe had separated and the job just got a whole lot bigger.
He quoted me a very fair price to come back with another helper and open up the concrete to expose and replace the damaged pipe. I agreed to the price and the next day he came back to get the job done.
The first thing they did was cover everything in my garage with plastic tarps. They cut and then jackhammered the concrete in about a 2×2 ft area They dug out around the pipe and then took out the damaged section. They took care to show me what was going on every step of the way. They jumped into the hole and then deployed the snake and the high pressure water system all the way out to the main sewer line just to make sure everything was clear. They replaced the damaged pipe, filled back in the dirt and then mixed, poured and smoothed out new concrete. They cleaned up everything else so well, you would never know anyone had been in my garage to do that kind of work.
I am back and able to cook and clean in my kitchen now. No one wants these kind of issues to happen but Sal’s did a great job at a fair price and kept me in the loop every step of the way.

Updated Review 12÷8÷15
After posting a review where I expressed concern with my experience I was immediately contacted by Joe who was more than happy to help me out. He has really gone above and beyond in making sure my husband and I are happy with our experience. It is not very often anymore that we come across companies that really care and want to make issues right in the end. I would recommend this company to ensure quality customer service and fast response!

We had water came out of toilet. We called Sal’s plumbing on Sunday morning and they arrived within 1 hour. They tried to snake it and found out the cast iron drain was cracked at the bottom of our concrete slab house.
They quote us good price and replace the drain nicely.
They show up on time and clean up everything before they leave. Great professional service. Thanks Joe and Pedro!!! Definitely recommended them!

I found Sal’s plumbing through Unilocal.There was a plumbing issue in my condo and my tenants needed someone to look at it ASAP. They had someone at the unit that afternoon. Upon their arrival I was notified that the pipe might be backed up from the garage which would be covered under my HOA, they didnt charge me for that visit and I spoke with my HOA to have the pipe snaked. The water started to drain but still not to its old self. i called Sal’s plumbing back and within a day the kitchen sink was drained and I had happy tenants. I appreciated their honesty. I felt comfortable with their explanation of the issue and have already referred them to others and my friends have used them and have been very satisfied.

Love these guys! I have had a lot of issues with the crappy plumbing in my house, so they’ve been out here six times in the last few years, mostly to fix leaking pipes. I suspect it’s possible to obtain a lower price, but I’m just so pleased with their work that I wouldn’t think of calling anyone else.
They are prompt and friendly. Every guy that’s come out has taken the time to explain what was going to be done and how. Today, Chris came out and replaced some shut off valves, a leaky faucet and put on a whole new outside faucet. It was a tough job since the stuff he was replacing was decades old and very hard to remove. Plus, I pestered him with questions, which he answered cheerfully and thoroughly. Even my husband, who is very hard to please, was completely happy with everything.
Finally, this is a minor thing but speaks volumes to me — after I explained to Chris that we are trying to conserve water as much as possible, he was really careful to not waste any. After he shut off the main, he watered my patio plants with the hose to help drain the water! I mean, that was awesome! Talk about listening to your customers. Thank you Chris and Sal’s!
