Thank God for John the Plumber he came to my husband and my rescue when our propane line developed a significant leak and needed replacing. After our propane people Delta Energy came out and checked the reason we had no hot water because in 4 years we have never ran out of propane. Delta Energy manager Mike accessed our problem and got a 2nd opinion from Sean both confirmed the leak. John the plumber came out the next day said he could fix our problem by the afternoon, so happy to say he did an excellent job.

Thanks John the plumber will use you again most definitely

Fantastic! Super happy they responded to our panic call 1st thing in the morning. Water coming up from both toilets and showers had us totally freaked out. Annie was dispatched within the hour and rescued us! She was knowledgabke, calming and friendly. Got right down to business. This was our first plumbing emergency as homeowners and we were so happy John the Plumber was up to the task and was able to take care of our messy issue! We have had real issues finding good and reliable help in our new small town...so glad this worked out! Highly recommend!

I had a new heating system put in and there were some problems with the piping in my home so the gas co turned off gas to my heater. I called John the Plumber and he came over very quickly for an initial check. He knew I was without heat so came 2 days later on a Saturday to help me out and get my heat back on. He was professional, knowledgeable and helped me understand what the problem was. I highly recommend him. You won't be sorry. I will definitely be calling him for all future plumbing needs.

I've used John the plumber at least five times over the last few years. Always responsive, friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. Reasonable price on all the jobs, and a 10% discount for seniors.

John the Plumber has taken care of our plumbing needs for years. He always has great prices. He recently installed some risers for us so we no longer need to dig out the septic tank. Couldn't be happier with the job.

Today we had a water pressure regulator installed by ""Mike"" from John The Plumber in Tehachapi. We are very happy with the prompt arrival time, knowledge of the employee, satisfaction of a complete and well done job and Mike's patience with all our questions. We will definitely always use this company for all our plumbing needs. We were billed via email and promptly paid the bill in full. A win win for everyone!

We needed to have a leaking propane line replaced and also had some other plumbing work. John the Plumber's crew answered our call right away and scheduled us soon thereafter.

When the guys came out, they were efficient, neat, and you could tell they really knew their stuff.

If we have any future plumbing concerns, we would definitely call them again.
