Recommended Customer Reviews

Alright so I had a clogged garbage disposal sink, and he was very nice to have walked me threw fixing it rather then changing me the hundred bucks. Very nice man. I appreciate him doing this because like many others money is tight. If I have any other plumbing issues I will be calling him based on this one phone encounter. Thank you better plumbing!

We came home at 6pm to no hot water pressure. We called Better Plumbing and Cameron walked us through how to fix it ourselves for over 30 min. We had to call him back several times. Each time we tried to repair it, we were unable to. We scheduled an appointment and he came out within an hour. He quickly diagnosed the problem and efficiently repaired it. Thankfully we can all take hot showers tonight, while he was here we asked him to looks at a toilet that was giving us problems. He looked at the toilet and replaced the part. The part that he installed was only part of the problem, turns out we had a defective pressure tank. Cameron replaced the pressure tank under warranty and got it all done in one evening. If you need a plumber that will help you when you need them, Cameron at Better Plumbing is the company to call first. His craftsmanship and quality parts make him able to tackle any problem that you have on your home. Next time we won't bother to call anyone else. Better Plumbing is the company to call first because their work lasts! I am happy with the results, and feel appreciated as a customer. Cameron really lives up to his total customer service guarantee!

If you are going to hire someone to unclog a drain problem or to push a debris down further in the sewer line, call someone else, if you are going to hire a Plumber, then hire Cameron at Better Plumbing.
I had Cameron come out twice. If he's so good, why didn't he fix it the first time? First time was July 4th. I came home from work on July 3rd, amped about the long weekend. Get home, use the facilities, gurgle, blurp and poop. The toilet won't flush properly and water is starting to come up from the bathtub and shower drains as well. Most other Plumbers have away messages saying they're out of town or not working, leave a message, Cameron was the only Plumber to call me back in a couple hours, try to diagnose the problem over the phone, then said he would cover over after his other job on Independence Day. Seriously? Who wants to work on July 4th? Cameron came and walked through the premise to diagnose the problem. He explained every step, on what the approach was to see if the problem was temporary or persistent. His work ethic does not involve upselling services that I may not need, so he explained that he'll look at the problem, solve it (snake via roof vent access), and if that works, you never have to see him again (something he preferred oddly enough). However, after fixing the problem, he did mention that there was something funky that the previous owner did when adding a second clean out access that the pipes weren't mated properly. So chances are the problem may come up again, but if this cleaning solved the problem, great. If not let him know and he'll come out again to troubleshoot the problem with more fancy toys.
A month and a half later, I notice more slow drain problems, and have him come out again, this time on a Saturday. He remembers what he did last time and walked through what he had done, and intends to do. This time, since the problem was persistent, he snaked the problem, then sent a camera down there for a visual inspection. It was pretty close to what he (now I) was fearful of, and gave a full assessment of the problem and options to fixing it depending on how long I was planning to live at the house. It can be fixed with a band-aid or replaced entirely for another 20+ years of reliable usage.
His prices aren't as competitive as other uncloggers, but seriously, you're paying Cameron to do more, 1) FIX the problem, 2) educate you on residential plumbing, and most importantly, 3) do it CORRECTLY. Don't take plumbing for granted, you don't realize how important running water and how to get rid of that running water is until you starts filling up your toilet/tubs.
Oh, Plumbers that don't work weekends, unfortunately, do not care enough about their customers. You don't poop M-F only.
Lastly, thanks Cameron (and Eric)!

Cameron is a pro. His knowledge is much more sophisticated than stringing pipes together, he actually understands and can explain the engineering behind the parts and their limitations. This is a great confidence builder, because no plumbing situation you really need a plumber for is straightforward. You want the guy that has the most knowledge and experience that can turn a bad situation into a strong solution for the future. He's got the right parts and the right tools for any job.
Great guy to talk to and learn from as he works!

Cameron provides good, quality service. We had a real emergency with a leak at the main into the house. He came out in two hours, gave us a free estimate,a reasonable price and was finished with the repair in 4 hours!
We would definitely recommend him.

We had previously used Cameron of Better Plumbing so when the emergency water break at the meter occurred we called him again. He was quick to identify the problem and repaired it. It was a difficult situation as the water to the home had to be turned off for a couple days. He spoke with the owner of a neighbor property and got permission to hook up a hose from nextdoor to our property using a hose and special connection that he had. It helped greatly by being able to use basic water needs such as toilet and shower with the temporary hookup. The problem was quite difficult as tree roots had surrounded the water meter and made it difficult work. We would highly recommend him for any plumbing work needed.

Honest, quick and funny. Yes i said honest when speaking about a plumber, I called them on a Sunday and he told me he would show up after his current job and sure enough came in and found the issue and I told him I wanted a tankless water heater, instead of selling me on one, he took the time to explain all the issues I would see with installing one of them in my complex. He even went out of his way to call the company my water heater was from so I could save money on buying a new water heater. Who does that these days? These guys are legit and they have a customer for life. Thank you Cameron

Better Plumbing has been my plumber for over 25 years. He has replaced my water heater, sinks, toilets, even yard sprinklers. He is professional, knowledgeable, fair, honest and does the job right. Anything he has replaced has been maintenance free! He does it right the first time. He has come in the middle of night and in the middle of rain storm! He fixed all my problems and left the place sparkling! He is conscientious of his surroundings, keeps a neat working environment and goes that extra mile you just don't get these days! I love him! I'll never call anyone else! Bravo for Better Plumbing. I highly recommend you call Better Plumbing, for all your plumbing problems! With Cameron you know it will done w the highest quality products and the most experienced plumber in this part of California!

quick fast and friendly,called better plumbing and Cameron called back with in 15 min. told him my problem and with in 20 min. he was at are mobile home and 30 min.later my problem was fixed plus a lesson on basic plumbing problems.

Cameron is a great guy, fun to talk to, and does a fantastic job. I've had him replumb my sink, redo a drain, and fix a job that another plumbing service botched originally!! (It was a re-pipe job) I should have called him to do the job in the first place.
Once he came out, looked at my water heater, told me that I could fix it myself easily, told me how, and left without charging me a cent.
He is our go to plumber!
