Lakeview Plumbing Company

Jerry is an absolute delight to work with! He went above and beyond responding to an emergency we had with our sewage pump. He explained everything to us very patiently and worked to resolve the issue promptly and efficiently. He even followed up with us later that night to make sure the pump was working as expected. 5 out of 5 stars for Lakeview Plumbing!

Absolutely superb service from Jerry at Lakeview. I called this morning with problems with both our toilets. He arrived a couple of hours later and took care of those problems along with a number of other plumbing issues that we had been living with, thinking they would cost too much to make right. Not the case! Very reasonable prices and very efficient service. I can't say enough about the care and time he took to answer all our questions, with patience and clear explanations of the inner workings of our ancient (1975) plumbing. Not only is he competent and thorough but one of the most congenial and easy-going workers we've had in our 23 years in Tahoe Donner. Thanks, Jerry, and you earn A+ from this retired teacher!

What can I say? Jerry is our hero. Had a leak in our main water line in Tahoe Donner requiring detection, excavation and repair. TDPUD said the leak was on ""our side"" of the meter and our responsibility. After many mansplaining plumbers with bad and/or false information we found Jerry. We had to wait because he's a busy guy, likely because he is honest, fair, conscientious and the nicest guy imaginable. He came over and got the job done, and for a reasonable price. If you have a problem like ours (which seems to be happening a lot in Tahoe Donner) call Jerry at Lakeview Plumbing. He's the best.

Best in Truckee hands down. If your fortunate enough to get them you will be happy!
Helped us out in a timely manner on a difficult repair. Good people.

Best plumbing company I have ever used. Jerry came right away and repaired our water heater but other companies wanted to replace it. He fixed it in 10 minutes. Jerry is a man of honesty and integrity.

Just had a great experience with Brad at Lakeview plumbing. I needed interior and below house propane pipe rerouted. He was here sooner than expected and was in and out in less than 2 hours. Everything works great. I would definitely hire these guys again.

Jerry came to the rescue for our gas range oven needed to be converted back to natural gas. He went beyond the call of duty and worked over 3 visits to get us back up n running. He got creative with one part to avoid buying some very expensive spud orifices n for that thank you Jerry!! All in all extremely happy with Jerry and know who we can count on next time we have needs in this department.

Jerry came out when we really needed him. Toilet replacement. Was here in great time. Reasonable price. Went above and beyond the toilet to help us fix the sink and running toilet upstairs. Very nice guy all together. Was training a new employee who was also nice and helpful. Jerry was also communicative and educational to help us understand what was going on and extra help with the water heater. On my quick dial list! Thanks again!

As Jerry was hauling out his tools from under my house and finishing a pretty nasty job he did for me I asked him when he was going to retire (I am 63 and Jerry is a few years older than me). Jerry kind of chuckled and said: ""Oh, they'll find me dead under a house, with a wrench in my hand"". I think that kind of sums up his commitment to getting the job done. I have a downslope home (my house has a level entry from the street and is built down the hillside, following the grade of the mountain) and in the build-up, which is, in reality, three stories below street grade, there is a collection tank for all the waste water and there are two pumps which pushes the waste water up to the sewer line in the street. The pumps alternate running as the float in the tanks indicate that it needs to be pumped out. It's a good system and I am sure that many homes that are built downslope have the same kind of setup. The one big problem is that the pumps can get clogged if the wrong thing is put down the drain. In my household the issue is I take care of my step-mom, who has dementia and Alzheimer's, and I cannot get her to stop flushing hygienic wipes down the toilet.
The first time I called Jerry the pump alarm was going off and the waste water tank was overflowing. Jerry deemed this an emergency situation and came right out. He disconnected the one pump that was completely clogged and left the pump switch disabled, so that only the pump that was working would operate. Emergency resolved, Jerry looked after his other non-emergency scheduled jobs and returned a few days later to remove the clog in the pump. Jerry told me that it was the worse paper clog he had ever seen. Gee, thanks.
Jerry got both pumps working again and we should have been done. Should have, except for my step-mom. A few months later same problem, only this time the affected pump was in worse shape. Jerry was again able to get the whole system operational.
Then a week ago we were there again, only this time that one pump was completely burned out, again severely clogged with wipes. I needed the pump replaced and after discussing the age of the ""good"" pump and the fact that it was over-working trying to push wipes through it I elected to have both pumps replaced. Jerry was able to purchase pumps that are less prone to clogging, however I still have the issue of someone in my home not being able to remember to not put things down the drain that can clog the pumps.

Well, the point of this long story is that Jerry reacted to emergency situations and treated them as emergencies (with his prompt arrival at my home) and twice was able to repair things and get them working again, never trying to sell me something when he was able to get the system operational again, and only sold me new pumps when they had been abused to the point of complete breakdown.
Jerry has been in business a long time here in Truckee and he likely has seen and repaired just about everything. He is very knowledgeable and I have to say he is a pretty doggone nice person, too. There are other plumbers here and no doubt there other good ones. Jerry is a great one. Heck, he even told me some great roads I could go have fun on with my go-fast German coupe! After 6 months and many visits to my home, I'd like to consider him a new friend, too

Jerry saved my bacon when we were Februburied and my pipes broke. Busiest time of year and he got me fixed and back to normal fast. I live here year round and could not afford to be without water.
