Patriot Plumbing

I walked in to my garage one morning recently and everything was wet. Turns out my water heater was leaking. I called Patriot Plumbing whom I had used before for more minor issues. Since they were the only plumbers I knew, I didn't want to spend time looking for others.
It's a family business with Kirk and his two sons. I called in my problem and Kirk was here within the hour. He spent about 5 hours taking out the old water heater, calling his supplier to deliver a new one, installing a new one, and referring me to a company (Super Dry which I also recommend) to dry out the carpeting that covers about one third of the garage floor. It was all taken care of before dinnertime. I wouldn't hesitate to call Patriot Plumbing again!!!

Terrific service! Kirk was very responsive to a concern I had with a water heater installation over a year ago. He came to my home, addressed the problem and assured me if I had any other issues to reach out. Awesome customer service! Thanks so much.

Kirk and patriot plumbing have been my go to plumbers since 2005 (it's now 2022, so that's 17 years). They do great work, show up when they say they will, are polite and courteous. I have recommended them to friends, who have also found their work to be excellent.

Kirk and I met at LG. He was one of my loyal vendors. Recently my water heater needed to be replaced. Patriot was called one day and installed the next. He actually installed an energy saving unit so im excited to see how this last. I have no complaints from 14 years with LG an zero complaintsas a homeowner. He has tons of experience. I recommend his services to anyone.

Our water heater went down last Sunday. We called Patriot and received a call back within 15 minutes. We explained the problem (burner wouldn't light) and they said they could come out same day for a premium. We said we could wait until Monday. They were there Monday morning and were able to pinpoint the problem quickly. A part would have to be ordered, but would be there the next day. In the meantime, the technician was able to start our water heater temporarily so we could take showers. The part showed up the next day and Patriot repaired it late Tuesday afternoon. Quick work, stellar service. During the whole process, they kept in touch with us and let us know the timeline. I have used Patriot in the past and my experience has always been excellent. They are based in El Cajon / East County, where we are, and we like to support our local businesses. We have used Patriot Plumbing for over 10 years and they have consistently performed at the highest level. They are highly recommended

Just moved into our new office space and both toilets backed up. I called and they came out right away. Very knowledgable and kept us in the loop on what the problem was...fixed the same day. We mentioned that we were thinking about changing out the 30 yr old toilets and the owner gave us good suggestions on what brand to buy. We asked if he could do the work...he said of course, just didn't want to push that on ya if you wanted to do it yourself. So refreshing to have an honest family owned business to count on! FYI...we're having him out next week to install the 2 new toilets :-)

My water pressure valve needed to be checked. I contacted Patriot Plumbing for assistance. Kirk was at my home within 30 minutes. I have been using Patriot Plumbing services for over 20 years. I continue to receive courteous and professional service every time from all company employees. I highly recommend Patriot Plumbing. They are always fair and honest.

just wanted bathroom sink drain snaked, kirk came with his son and they were arguing. Instead of going down our elevator to his truck to get his tools, he borrowed our bucket and wrench (lazy), snaked the drain and left the muck in the sink. The plug broke, not his fault, probably old and all he had to do was ask me to pay extra to replace it and I would have, but I felt he left the job incomplete, Super bad communication. I texted him that the job was incomplete, after I paid him cash for the whole thing of which he never did give me a receipt, he then proceeded to tell me, ""oh you were going to blame me and think I broke the plug"" which wasn't an issue, so then after a couple of texts, I told him ""why don't we lose each others"" numbers, then he texts me back ""no"" and sent me more texts, this time mean ones. So I told him that if he didn't stop I would contact Better Business Bureau, then he still continued to text, so I said once again ""lose my number."" I showed all the texts to my significant other and he said the guy was totally unprofessional and childish. Kirk complained about our dirty drain, well of course, that is why we got a plumber to snake it - hello. He also said something about hoarding and we do have lots of possessions, which we have lots of DVDs neatly stored in plastic tubs, but the personal pot shots were really sad. Yes, won't use them again & will not recommend. p.s. because I have a soft heart, I think maybe he takes on too many jobs and that he needs either more help or take less work, so I hope he can do that so that he will be less stressed and not take his frustration out on paying customers anymore Blessings! ~

We are in the process of replacing our floor. The toilets needed to be removed and put back after installing the new floor. The plumber who was originally supposed to come for the job, never showed up so my family was left without any working toilet on this 4th of July weekend. I called a few 24/7 plumbing companies to find someone else to put my toilets back. However, every plumber I called said they could not come because it's the 4th holiday.

I then found this company (Patriot Plumbing) and spoke with the owner, Kirk, directly. Kirk agreed to come out on 4th of July this morning to help my family. I am greatful to this company and Kirk in particular.

lastly, he answered all my questions patiently, was professional and pleasant.

The worst. Patriot did some minor work but when we hired a different plumber for the majority of the project, Kirk was furious--he showed up at my 90 year old mother's house, confronted her, and demanded she cut him a check on the spot. By the time I got there, she was crying and Kirk was gone. Kirk then sent me a series of foul-mouthed texts. Do you self a favor, pick another plumber. Nothing Patriotic about these guys.
