Absolute Plumbing

Fair price and fast work. We had a toilet valve replaced and second new toilet installed. The plumber was on time and got right to work and finished both jobs in under an hour. For the two items we paid about $100 (hourly rate). He also took the time to look into a couple of other issues we plan to have repaired in the future with our older (non standard) plumbing. He helped us prioritize repairs and we plan to hire Absolute again for other jobs.

These guys kick ass! I Yelped ""El Cajon plumber"" and these guys had rave reviews. I called around 920 Sunday evening, Jose showed up well within the hour I was promised, he did his magic snake dance and assured me it was just old pipes. I gave him my credit card number (paid a completely reasonable price for an overtime job PLUS my 10% off for finding them through Yelp!) and by 1007 pm we were able to shower again! Sweet!!! They were the Absolute epitome of efficiency and customer service!

I called Absolute Plumbing today based on the reviews I read here. Jose answered the phone and was incredibly rude to me. I asked him for his opinion about a toilet situation, and he was not in the least bit helpful. I would never use this company.

I called 3 plumbers today...one couldn't make it until the next day, one didn't call me back and then there was Absolute Plumbing. They new exactly what my problem was and said they'd be here between 4-5. They actually showed up early to get the job done and did it efficiently. Price was exactly as quoted wish it was a bit less but u get what you pay for, and like another reviewer posted...no butt crack here. Will be referring them and contacting them for any future needs!

Absolute Plumbing was 5 Stars all the way!!!

8:45pm
I came home this evening to replace a corroded valve and hose on on pedestal sink only to find that I was not able to remove the compression or the nut so I reused the old one and it leaked pretty bad. I turned the water off, googled a plumber and called Absolute plumbing. Being a new Yelper I relied on all the great customer reviews and found myself totally agreeing with everyone's experience. Like most people, I am hesitant when calling a pro. due to worrying about getting someone dishonest or unprofessional.

Not the case here! Jose was very courteous and professional over the phone and said someone would be out in about 1 hr. Right on time!

He was very professional in his appearance and was upfront with his diagnosis and told me what my options were. I do most of my plumbing so I know when someone is not being truthful. He was straight up and fixed in about 5 minutes. He made suggestions for future to permanently address the issue and let me know that the original plumbers did a substandard install with the plumbing. He made us feel totally comfortable with his work and his company and we will be using them for future project.

I had him look at 2 leaking showers that have bad diverters and he took pictures and said he would research locating the necessary parts. If he cannot get the parts he explained what the process would be to fix them which was completely different from the first plumber that tried to fix them and messed them up. We paid a lot of money the to the first plumber and he never fixed the original leaking problem with the shower. In fact, the first plumber explained that we would have to tear the walls from the opposite side of the shower wall to replace the shower fixture. Jose told us that is not necessary and the solution is to cut it out from the front of the fixture and replace the valve inside the wall. Therefore, not needing the cut the drywall from the bedrooms.

I can't say enough about how honest, clean, professional, reasonable and fast Absolute Plumbing was. I never thought I would say that about any plumbing service or technicians. No fear here using them for those of you looking for an honest plumber that Really knows what they are doing.

Even at the emergency rate I have total piece of mind that our house is safe and in total working order and it was worth it.

Give them a call and you won't regret it!!

Thanks Jose! I will recommend you to all our friends here in Carmel Valley.

Great service at a great price! I needed some help re-routing a few pipes for a bathroom remodel that I'm doing myself, so I called a number of plumbers to get some estimates. Absolute quoted me the best price, and after reading their reviews it was a no-brainer. Raul was out to my house the next morning and he did a great job. He did the job in half the time other plumbers quoted me. He was professional and courteous, and I couldn't have asked for better service. I'll definitely be using them again!

Great service. Already had a problem with a backed up kitchen sink; woke up this morning to a toilet with a bad ball cock. I'd already tried fixing the sink myself (chemicals, snaking).

I left a message at 7:30am and was called back promptly. Got an afternoon appointment scheduled with a 1-hour time window. Raul showed up within the window and fixed both problems. He was friendly, courteous, and efficient. He didn't make a mess, and gave me some maintenance tips (i.e., pointing out rusting bolts, etc). $150 for parts and labor seemed pretty reasonable to me for getting everything fixed. I'd definitely use Absolute again or recommend them to a friend.

Absolute Plumbing worked out great for me. I was able to luck out and get an appointment set up for the same day. Living by the beach, people are always using my shower to rinse sand off of them. That started to make the water drain slow over time. A specialist from AP snaked the drain, gave me helpful information, and even double checked the repair after I made my payment. I got 10% off for being a first time customer. Thanks!

After some bummer service with Bill Howe plumbing, I had to call Absolute and have them come and clean up the mess left by the previously mentioned plumbers. The rates were similiar ($92/hr) but the service and professionalism of Absolute Plumbing were waaaaay better!

Raul did a great job under my kitchen sink. He had good communication and skills, and he kept the whole job down to a reasonable price, complete with the ten percent discount they give to Yelpers. So far so good with all the work. I think you should give these guys a try!

So courteous, and effective. Jose made time for our emergency (a main water supply pipe leak hidden in the wall) and even called in advance to say he was on the way.

The repair looks great, it's totally solid - a new copper fitting over the pipe, applied with a special tool, no soldering. Also, Jose was really helpful in advising us about getting the ruined vanity and sheet rock out ASAP to allow the area to properly dry before it's repaired. (Otherwise, not thinking about the risk of mold, we would have left the demo to the handyman to deal with when repairing the walls.)

Jose also referred us to mold specialists who can dry inside walls/floors/foundations and they came right away. (I think the name of the company is Quick Dry - they came for a free inspection and called the next day to check on us as well.) Great ""team"" to know about if you have major plumbing issues!
