In the mid-1950s, Mr. Clayton Goforth started a modest drain cleaning business in San Diego. After establishing a booming business, he retired to Ramona in the late 1970s. His wife, Marie, took over the San Diego operations. He occasionally worked in Ramona for some extra cash, but health challenges in his early 50s prompted him to hand the reins to his son, Steve. Steve expanded the business to cover all plumbing services, often working late into the night and rising early to continue. He has dedicated himself to building a reputable plumbing service and delivering top-notch plumbing solutions to the residents of Ramona.
Steve grew up in San Diego but moved to Ramona as a teenager, graduating from Ramona High School in 1981. Steve picked up drain cleaning skills from his father and has since become proficient in all plumbing facets, including repairs, remodels, and custom installations. He is certified in backflow testing and qualified to handle PE gas piping installations and repairs.

Recommended Customer Reviews

I've used Steve for a number of projects over many years. In each case his skill and experience have resulted in successful projects. His fees are well explained and fair. My recent project, a toilet installation, had complexities due to the original construction. Steve was able to deal with the unexpected situation effectively. Highly recommended.

On the plus side, replaced our backflow valve with a better brand. On the minus, left us with an active leak!

Awesome job! Had a water leak and they came out the same day. Work was scheduled and came in under cost including a small patch of concrete. Will definitely use them again

Extremely rude not professional at all. If I could give negative stars I would. My 65 yr old my was waiting for them to show up. When they arrived they announce their presence by yelling. ""We r here"" my mother tried to explain what the problem was his response was ""we don't want to hear it!"" They refused to walk in the house, and check out plumping stuff. Then they had my mother helping them! By turning on and off all the stuff in the house. (Toilet & sinks) while barking orders at her. I am pretty sure she isn't on their payroll. I don't recommend them.

Called to schedule to request an appointment and left a message since no one answered. No one ever returned my call.

I found a leak coming from the slab beneath my water heater. Goforth was recommended and I contacted them. I was given a time frame of 830-930 in the morning. Prior to the appointment, I received a call and could tell they weren't interested in coming out to do the job. They showed up after the time frame and reiterated that they couldn't do anything to help me as they didn't have fancy equipment for leak location. I asked if they could tell me what the leaking line fed to and they told me no. They did tell me they would have to remove the water heater, rip open the wall, and jackhammer the foundation. After about 10 minutes they talked their way out of doing the job and left. I contacted Anderson Plumbing and they came out same day. Their technician didn't have any fancy equipment and yet he was able to troubleshoot the problem and reroute a line to fix it without removing the WH or using a jackhammer. He made two small holes in the dry wall to make his repair that I can easily fix. Do not waste your time with these folks as they aren't interested in doing their job. One star is only because you can't leave it blank.

My hot water heater stopped working after only two years, and I had a horrible time trying to find a company who could help me, and honor the manufacturer's warranty. I think I made 8 phone calls before I found AAA Goforth. Steve, the owner, was fabulous. He went above and beyond to help me. He spent time on the phone troubleshooting with me in the event I could fix it myself and avoid having to pay him. He was completely booked for the week, but he found the time to fit me in between his other jobs. What really blew me away was when he called me first thing the next day to make sure things were still running smoothly. Wow. I can't remember the last time I experienced such incredible customer service. Way to go-forth!

Our property line clean out is within inches of our driveway. Unfortunately, it's gotten run over more than once and we noticed over the weekend that the pipe had gotten clogged. Drainage was backing up towards the house and was not getting to the main sewer line. We stopped using water in the house in fear of the drainage backing all the way up and started calling plumbers.
We called AAA Goforth Plumbing over the weekend and requested a call back on Monday. They called first thing Monday morning when they opened and made it out the same day to look at our clean out. Both of the gentlemen that showed up were very nice and got right to business clearing the clean out. They were able to clear whatever obstruction was stuck and our drainage was running smoothly again. They didn't try to sell me anything unnecessary and gave me advice on how to prevent the clean out from getting broken again if a car were to run over it.
I would highly recommend AAA Goforth plumbing to anyone in need of a plumber and we'll be using them again in the future if ever we need plumbing services.

Dealt with these guys twice. Personable, experienced, not too pricey. Would recommend.

Have used this company for years as my parents have. (The Deerings). They are on time or the office calls and tells you a new ETA. Honest and capable, personable and professional, they are the best.
