Always on time, talk me through the cleaning and septic service, have them on a yearly return. Good people, great service.

Rory and his team are FANTASTIC!! They showed up early in the morning just after I called about a nasty clog in our shower (thanks to teenage hair!). I highly recommend this excellent team.

Living in Malibu and looking for an honest, reliable plumber. I'm a Do-It-Yourselfer type but after changing out some corroded pipes, rusted metal and rocks clogged the older pipes.
Called McDermott to see if they'd come take a look. Told Sean the problem, Peggy called back 15 minutes later and said someone was on the way. Jim McDermott and Rory showed up ready to go. I told them what I had done, explained the quirks of the system and they went right to it. Problem solved. Jim is a hoot and Rory is a great sidekick. When they unholster their wrenches...watch out. Great experience. Won't hesitate to call on them again!!!

Worst plumbing company I ever used.
Totally unresponsive Terrible communication

It took three calls (no return calls) to get them to come out. When they finally did, the plumber went under my house, then left without even telling me he was leaving.

A call to the company verified he'd be back the next day with a part.

Five calls and a month later he came back unannounced, then left without telling me again. Didn't fix the repair though because he claimed I already fixed it???

The dispatcher admitted it's a common complaint and "" it's two 65 year old guys who never communicate with them either""


I would never recommend them to anybody.

Great service! Very helpful and friendly. They fixed the main problem super quickly and even helped me install a new shower head. I would recommend them to anyone!

Whatever you do, don't call McDermott plumbing or pumping. We scheduled an appointment a week in advance for septic pumping and 2 other minor plumbing problems. It ended up I needed to be away in the afternoon of the day they were coming out. I called at 8 in the morning to confirm what time they would be able to come out. They had no idea and complained that they are given a list of 30 jobs to go to and can't give me a time. So, I said lets just reschedule the plumbing fixes until Monday and asked if that would be better for them. He said probably, and I then asked if they could schedule me as one of the first appointments in the morning, again was told about the list of 30 jobs to do so couldn't tell me a time. The next thing I heard on Monday morning was that they would be out before 9, I called them and said that was fine but I wouldn't be home until 8:45 if they were planning on coming out earlier than that.
Here I am and it is 10:30. So I called again and asked where they were, they were very confused and said I told them not to come before 8:45!?! I said yes, but I still wanted you to come at 9, I was being courteous and telling you I wouldn't be home before 8:45.
The guy got very condescending and somewhat antagonistic and said I will call him and see if he can get back to you!!! So it is now 1/2 an hour later and, surprise, still hasn't called me back.
By the way the septic guy did show up on Friday, but he was supposed to call before he came so I could have someone let him in the backyard. Surprise, he never called either. I guess they are sooooo busy they don't need my business. Good luck!!!

Outstanding service. Professional and did outstanding work. Not only were they responsive, they took the time to solve my plumbing issue which was not easy.

Very prepared and knowledgeable. I was not referred just got lucky to find honest, hard working company. I would highly recommend.

I also used them for Septic pumping and was very pleased and happy. Right on time and took the time to do a good job. I will definitely use them again.

Sean and Peggy were very helpful and responsive and Sean is the type who seems to go above and beyond from a customer service perspective. We had them check out a couple of options for waterless and regular heaters, they ordered and installed the water heater quickly! Would definitely recommend them for plumbing.

Pat, you are the man. Thank you. Fair people doing good work, and they are busy because of it.

McDermott Plumbing is great. We've used them for 20 plus years. Sure sometimes it takes a little longer to see them, but they are dealing with emergencies, and they take priority over getting your septic pumped. Sorry but that's reality. They're great guys who work hard.
