Mike Kimble Plumbing

Had several issues in the course of a week, one a flooded kitchen and living room from a defective dishwasher and subsequent issues related to that. Kimble was not only quickly responsive, but very helpful onsite. I very much appreciated the quick response and the extreme competence and attention to detail of the plumbers when they were onsite.

If you're looking for the best plumber available, look no further. I guarantee you the dudes at Mike Kimble Plumbing will get it done quickly and effectively. My wife and I had a slab leak problem at our apartment, and the management company called out the guys from Mike Kimble. The first plumber who came out, Edgar, was super knowledgeable and was able to identify the problem almost immediately. Then, Mike and Tyler came out to do the repairs. These dudes worked super hard, and it was at the end of their work day, and had to work after hours to get the problem solved. It was difficult to locate exactly where the leak was, but these guys got it done, and they put up with me being nosey and curious, so extra kudos there. But the one thing that makes these guys stand out is that they will do the job the right way, regardless of how long it takes. The reason there was a leak in the first place was because the last plumber used an uponor plastic fitting(thanks for the info, Edgar), and the guy attached it to the copper pipe under the concrete slab. That's the easy way out, and when Mike and Tyler got here and discovered the issue, they told me, and I quote, ""we would never do the job this way no matter what. If someone demanded it, we would just turn the job down right there."" That speaks to the quality of this company, they won't do anything for a quick buck, they take pride in their work and believe in the right way of doing things or not doing it at all. That's who you're hiring. And that's who I'm going to hire for any of my plumbing needs from now on.

Mike Kimble Plumbing recently replaced my Rinnai Tankless water heater and repaired my toilet that was not flushing properly. Both times their technician Rene performed the work. I am impressed by his professionalism, product knowledge and trouble shooting expertise. And just a really nice person. I am very happy with Mike Kimble Plumbing and would highly recommend them for all your plumbing needs.

I have used MK Plumbing at both my home and business - they have always sent out the nicest plumbers and have always gone the extra mile to make sure my plumbing issues are remedied. I can't say enough about their product or employees. It is so nice to know I can always count on them to be there.

Plumber came on November 9th,

He had specific jobs to do. Fix under sink. @He disconnected water, after replacing angle stop, the dishwasher didn't work after he left, my husband fixed it.

Replace front and back hose .The one in the front caused a leak. When we complained Mike Kimble sent the same guy to fix the leak. Not only did he not fix it, he had a bad attitude about fixing the mistake. He made it worse. Now sprinkler bill is $300 and it's not resolved, we have to call another plumber to completely replace the pipe that he broke. Mike Kimble gave us an adjustment, but their plumber broke everything he was supposed to fix.
So , thanksgiving is next week and we still have a problem. So we have a bill from Mike Kimble and $300 to sprinkler repair. Mike Kimble caused the problem. We will never use him again.

My wife reached out to this business and scheduled an appointment for a few small items we needed assistance with. Nothing that is complex that an experienced plumber hasn't done thousands of times.

Plumber showed up after 9 and their business is 6 min away. He did a couple of items decently but then got to connecting a line to a dishwasher that was successfully installed a few weeks ago. He fumbled with it for 15 min and then said a new line is needed. Uhmmm, no it was just connected successfully 10 min ago. Then he realized he was putting it in backwards. I guess we were sent the smart one. My wife then finds him chatting with another worker in the house at 11:30 and comments that it seems you're done now. He said he was still needing to write up the bill but was in no hurry. Finally he goes out to the truck to write up the bill and comes back at 11:45 and his bill was 8:30 to past noon. What? you're adding time before and after, that's called padding the bill and is incredibly unethical. Owner was called to explain situation and his response is you have to pay travel time at $130/hr rate. Funny how no one else operates that way. Between the inconsiderate attitude, juicing the bill, and the incompetence I would highly recommend you go to someone else. It's amazing when I'm not home how these so-called professionals think they can take advantage of my wife.

if you have a Tankless Water these are the guys to call. We had a Rennai System Installed as part of a whole house remodel about a year ago. The Plumbing Sub was not on the Rennai List of designated Plumbers (our fault),and did a terrible job of installing it without a number of the necessary bells and whistles and we started having problems from the get go. From the plumbers we called we got more questions than answers and repair costs mounted as each had his own suggestions for repair. We have subsequently learned that Rennai has stopped recommending these units for beach side users like us at the Oxnard Shores, and weren't much help in giving our various past plumbers proper guidance to diagnose or repair these highly sophisticated and complicated systems. We suffered from months with what they call a cold water sandwich where the hot water all of a sudden turns cold for no apparent reason and stays cold until you turn off the water and wait 30 minutes before you get another 5 minutes of hot water. We spent almost $1,000 replacing many needless parts until we found Mike Kimble Plumbing. His guys came out diagnosed the problem immediately and replaced a $30 part that was defective that did not block the cold water from overtaking the hotwater flow. From now on we will only use these guys for the annual maintenance for our system or whenever we may need a repair.

The plumber spent time trying to snake a drain this way and that. Admitted he didn't have the proper tools (a snake with a camera). Was unable to clear to the block. Still charged us $400 and said next time we should ask the company to send out someone with the appropriate tool.
