We will pick up the phone, even after hours, on weekends, and during holiday weekends!

Recommended Customer Reviews

I was staying at a friends home in Mammoth. Called out plumber because toilet was leaking. Shotty work at best. Left a mess. Do yourself a favor and call another company. Two guys showed up. And one of them smelled so bad of marijuana. My 5 year old asked what the smell was. The Mexican kid was yelling in Spanish on his phone most of the time. Seriously bad service!

Work done for me had to all be redone. Still trying to recover a valve that was tightened too hard and now need to replaced via opening the wall. Toilet flush systems installed with screws etc. Not sure what happened when I called a plumber that is licensed but very costly aftermath. Still trying to find the parts broken and mis-installed. All work done had to be redone. Nice people but not a plumber I would ever call back. Not sure how much all this damage will cost me to fix. I have pictures of how things looked before they came and it was left in a mess handle broken off etc . After complaining about the issues just said they looked at YouTube and will come fix it !!! A licensed plumber learning from YouTube ! Now I am stuck with huge bills, time wasted on these projects and parts that are impossible to find. Don't like to leave bad reviews but as you can imagine I am super frustrated with Howard and his team.

I needed a new toilet installed and A Reliable Plumber took care of everything all in one week! He picked up the new toilet and disposed of the old one. I would definitely recommend Howard at Reliable Plumber.
