Anacapa Plumbing

Our utility sink was completely backed up, with laundry and kitchen water, after a couple months of intermittent problems. Finally had to do something about it. Friday at 2pm we called, the owner checked with his crew and called back a few minutes later saying he could send someone over immediately.

The technician was friendly and knowledgeable. He pumped the water out of the sink, opened a trap, snaked it all the way through the mainline and voila, problem solved. He did a thorough cleanup and I found the price to be on par with other plumbers we have used. I've found a new plumber.

Our main house water line, also connected to the backflow, was gushing like a geyser towards the street on Monday afternoon, which our HOA president immediately shut off! Apparently, Goleta's water pressure is too high for our area and we needed a new regulator and pressure gauge. Our old reliable plumber came out on Tuesday, dug the hole on Wednesday, found the leak, and corrected the plumbing, installing a new pressure regulator and gauge on Friday. When he turned the water on late Friday, there were two small leaks, which he said he'd repair on Monday. When Monday arrived, there was a lot of water in the hole, confusing both of us, as it was only two small leaks on Friday. Our old plumber said he was extremely ill, couldn't work, and was calling his ""buddy"" plumbers to get someone to finish the job for us, but he wasnt having any luck. Trying to help him, I ""googled"" Plumbers, saw great ratings for Anacapa Plumbing and called them! I spoke to Sharin, the owner, explained my situation and he said he'd get Torrin to come out later that afternoon to bail out the water and assess the situation. Our old plumber said they were a great company and drove away. Later that day, Torrin bailed 50 gallons of water into plants, took pictures of the parts needed to fix the leaks and said Robert will be by Tuesday to repair everything. Robert came early, fixed the plumbing, and tested it! No leaks! Since the main water/backflow is located on HOA property in front of our house, he asked to test their irrigation system to see if it was affecting us in any way. They turned on the water and Robert immediately spotted a black irrigation hose deeply cut, which was gushing water into our hole. He asked the HOA gardener to fix the line and he left for the day. The next morning the hole was again filled up with 50 gallons water because the HOA did not fix the irrigation hose. I was told I had to fix it since probably the digger accidentally cut it. So I got it fixed and Robert came out and again bailed 50 gallons of water into the plants. We waited until Friday morning to see if there was any more water in the hole. Thankfully, there was none! He filled the hole with sand, dirt, and cleaned up the area. I am extremely pleased with Anacapa Plumbing; Sharin, the owner, Stephanie, Torrin, and Robert. They are very professional, fast, friendly, courteous, honest, timely, reliable, knowledgeable, and helpful! As a matter of fact, I entered Anacapa Plumbing on my cell phone as our ""go to Plumber,"" as I feel they are THE BEST plumbers in Santa Barbara County and deserve ten stars! If I have another plumbing problem, I'm calling them first! You should too!

Anacapa sent Torin, an apprentice plumber, to take care of a number of routine plumbing jobs. He arrived on time, worked consistently, completed the job, made sure I had a complete report and was satisfied with the job. Everything was handled professionally. I would use this plumbing service again.

As others have said, not the cheapest, but they're fair and trustworthy. We've had them to our house a couple of times now. First time was to fix a leaking garage sink, which my husband wasn't able to fix. They installed some new hardware and new faucet and the problem was resolved. Second time was to install a new bathroom faucet, which they attempted, but the one ordered didn't fit exactly right. Who knew it was such a pain to order a bathroom faucet? On the same trip, they also reconnected a bathroom sink faucet handle that my husband had disconnected at least a year ago, because we couldn't get it to stop leaking water. Again, some new hardware in strategic places and it was fixed. Our fixtures are all over 20 years old, so I think we will be seeing more of Anacapa in the future as these old fixtures start failing.

Great experience with Anacapa plumbing. The technicians did a very thorough investigation of the problem, identifying the root cause and fix within the hour. Very responsive (same day service!) which is not easy to find now a days. I would highly recommend Anacapa plumbing for your repair needs.

Responsive, arrived on time, analyzed complexities of dual water tank system with recirculating hot water lines, communicated new code requirements, then ASKED ME how I wanted to proceed. After I gave authorization, bought the second tank, new copper, etc, within the hour, and repairs were efficiently completed same day. Then bill was emailed. It was 27% and 36% less than two other estimates I had obtained from highly recommended Santa Barbara companies that said two plumbers at $1000+ each would be required versus only one smart fast working trained plumber from Anacapa Plumbing.

BTW: NEVER PAY FOR American Home Warranty Protection which is a scam. I paid over $4700 in monthly premiums, then was billed $100 for their chosen plumber who said work complicated, and left. Then I was told not authorized.

Emergency situation on a Friday afternoon!
We were very impressed with Anacapa Plumbing!
We have a 1909 house with a broken shower arm from inside the wall of our rental apartment with a new tenant arriving.
We called Anacapa Plumbing, as we've used them before and our plumber friend couldn't come and did not work on weekends.
Sharin answered the call immediately and gave us hopeful possibilities.
After rearranging their schedules we were told he'd have a technician on it.
We then got a text from Anacapa Plumbing saying James will be out in 8 minutes. I couldn't believe it!
James came out, diagnosed the situation, fixed the stripped pipe, replaced the parts and checked under the house for possible further damages. He gave a thorough and honest assessment and the price was more than fair.
We would definitely call Anacapa Plumbing for our plumbing needs.
Thank you Anacapa Plumbing

We used Anacapa quite a bit. From apartments to large homes, Anacapa is very reasonable and has talented plumbers on staff. Unfortunately, some plumbers in town are a complete rip-off, while Anacapa is honest and competent! From copper to PEX, Anacapa is the way to go!
