Able Plumbing & Drain Service

Clare H.

Within 10 minutes of discovering the sink next our washer was clogged (causing water to flow all over the garage floor), Scott had diagnosed the problem and was snaking the drain. We really appreciate his quick response, expert work, and reasonable prices -- especially on a Saturday afternoon. We plan to have him replace the faucet in our garage soon and will keep his number handy for any future plumbing mishaps.

Scott installed a new kitchen faucet for us which was well done and we were satisfied. We also had a problem with a toilet that was rocking. After a few mishaps and an honest review from him on our toilet situation, we felt he had done all that he could do. My only complaint is he left a large mess behind. When I mentioned this to him, in a text after he had left, he did return and finish cleaning up what I had not completed yet. A very friend and fair man!

Very courteous and quick response. Highly recommended. It's great to find reliable service providers who I can call when the need arises. Thank you Scott!

Scott is our go to guy for all plumbing needs! Our house was built in 1958 so you can only imagine the kind of problems it has...

Any time my husband calls Scott he gets back to us ASAP and usually even comes out the same day! Several years ago he even came out on Thanksgiving Day! The service and communication cannot be beat. We think he may not even require sleep. Haha!

A few days ago all the drains were backing up...again. Scott came out today and fixed it in record time. His prices are also always fair. We appreciate you, Scott- thank you!

We live in an older home in Serra Mesa, and we had part of a pipe break on us. After trying to fix it ourselves for hours without success, we called Scott in a panic at 5pm on a Sunday evening. He offered to come out to take a look, and was there within about 15 minutes. After taking a look, he let us know that the work we needed to do was pretty involved, but he reassured us that it could be fixed. He got to work right away, and by 7pm we had the water back on in our home.

We are so thankful to have Scott in our community and would recommend him to anyone!

A girlfriend recommended Able Plumbing to me and I used him for quite a while. In the spring of 2018, my water bills began averaging 100 gallons per day more than ever before (of course San Diego Public Utilities refused to even reread my meter). I called Scott and he checked all that he could but found no answer. He referred me to Cable Pipe & Leak - they found nothing. So he insisted that it had to be my sprinklers and he referred me to a very sketchy sprinkler company that found nothing. I called Scott to come out again. Long and short of it was that he angrily and vehemently insisted that it WAS the sprinkler system and that if I didn't agree with him, I could ""Just find someone else!"" He stormed off and did not return my call the next day regarding a different issue. i.e. he fired me!

Months later, there was a ""boiling"" pool of water in my backyard that was the result of a broken galvanized water pipe! This very disturbing fiasco cost me over $5,000 in total....thank you Scott!

Scott is a fantastic plumber! Very professional and quick to respond if not already on a job. He has done some very specialty work for us too. You can't go wrong calling Scott. He is very friendly and heck... never had to see what plumbers are famous for!

After reading all the great reviews I decide to give them a call. I called and explained the issue we are having. And the man on the phone reply's ""uh yeah sure whatever"" then fumbles around for a while then asks me for my address. With the lack of courtesy and professionalism I was given just over the phone I would never allow them into my home.

Funny how they say he is a ""one man show"" but someone who wasn't even on the call is replying to my review...
I am sure Scott is an excellent plumber. I unfortunately didn't get a chance to experience that. I was calling looking for help, I wouldn't be rude but that is what I got in return. You got your story mixed up, since you weren't on the call it is understandable. I repeated what he said as I was surprised by it. You also got it wrong that I hung up on him. Before I hung up I said ""with so many other plumbers in San Diego, I will take my business elsewhere"".

I am not one that leaves reviews on yelp often, but I felt this one needed to be done.

Bathroom drain clogged on a Saturday afternoon and most places were closed or said they would come out Monday. I tried to do what I could, even buying a drain snake from Home Depot which broke as I tried to use it. I called Scott and he said no problem but he wouldn't be available for a couple of hours.

He came out earlier than he said and fixed it quickly. He told where to get a snake that would work and shared a couple of techniques to use so that it wouldn't break. I thanked him for the advice, but I would more than likely just call him if I needed any more plumbing work done.

He told me the price up front. It was on a Saturday afternoon, but even with that I thought the price was reasonable.
