Our company is the premier family-operated plumbing service within La Jolla. The company was based on the 7800 block of Girard Ave. In 1929, our founder constructed a plumbing workshop located at 7700 Girard Avenue, operating there until 1986. We then moved to Herschel Avenue for four years before settling on La Jolla Blvd at 5700, where we are currently located.
I am the grandson of Erling Rohde, the founder in the year 1910. I entered the plumbing field as a helper in 1972 after returning from Vietnam. I attended a five-year plumbing school. In 1981, I earned my contractor's license. I became the sole owner and operator in 1983.

This company overcharged me. Plumber was very slow and didn't bring parts. My toilet is still leaking. I will not use this company again. Contact me for more information.
Erling Rohde was very prompt and professional in replying to a Yelp request for a water leak in my ceiling. Their quote came in well below competitors and the plumber who showed up was courteous and efficient, so I went with them. The fix became much more difficult than originally anticipated, but they completed it for the original quote and were professional throughout. Would definitely use again.
Great Company! Dave Torres is a true professional. They are great , called the evening before and had a tech out first thing the next morning. Very professional and thorough. Was explained all details and worked diligently. Would definitely recommend !!
It is odd to give a top rating to a plumber whom you have never used-- but that is the reason for this rating. I called Erling Rohde and explained what I thought needed to be done...and was advised against doing it. In effect, this plumber talked himself out of a job and explained why. It certainly engendered my trust in them and I will call with the next problem.
Helen S.Our family has used Erling Rohde Plumbing for years! We still own our parents' midcentury house but none of us live in town. We call Erling Rohde when the tenant notices a problem; they come out promptly and do a thorough job, always leaving a neat work-site. When we needed more work (installing a new whole house shut-off and water pressure regulator) we trusted their advice on where to locate the valve (and they brought a guy to dig the trench, so we weren't paying plumber prices for that part of the job) . Any plumbing problem, large or small, we always feel confident that Erling Rohde has our best interest at heart.
Called this morning with a plumbing emergency and Manuel showed up within 30 minutes. PHEW!!! He fixed the issue in under 10 minutes and the bill was fair especially since no other big fancy drain service company was available until the following day. Great job Manuel! I highly recommend Erling Rohde.
Stephanie C.The office is so friendly and helpful - it's refreshing to speak with someone who's knowledgeable and nice. The service is on point and I highly recommend them. Thank you!!!
Hilary D.These guys totally saved the day! My husband tried to fix a plumbing issue in the bathtub but was unsuccessful in the attempt. Actually, he kind of made it worse..... but Mike & Juan fixed everything quickly & discretely and for $80!!! Nice! I was pregnant and had houseguests en route with a clogged drain. They were really reliable and fast for a simple problem.
My recent experience with this company was terrible. The person they sent over did not fix anything and wanted to charge us over one hundred dollars. He was only there for one hour and wanted to charge us a hour and a half. All he did was call hoa to stop the water and rest for the rest of the time. We ended up paying over eighty dollars for nothing.
Rachel Y.Erling Rohde Plumbing has been doing the plumbing in our house since long before we moved in, and for us as owners, for over 50 years. We even found Grandfather Rohde's signature on the back of an old sink, from some time in the early 1920's.
They really understand old houses, and have kept things up and running all these years. Reliable, competent, and friendly, and we highly recommend them. We are confident that their prices are fair, and their workmanship is great.
