Patriot Plumbing

I have been using patriot plumbing for all of my plumbing needs since 2012. When I was living on the esat coast and needed a reliable source to take care of plumbing needs i El cajon CA, I could always rely on Patriot!!
i have been living in El Cajon since 2019, and have continued to use Patriot for all of my needs.
They are prompt, reliable and fair in their pricing. i highly recommend them!!

Talk about fast and amazing service. I had a clogged toilet. I had a house party in the evening. I called them at 8 a.m. They were in front of my house by 10:30, a father-and-son duo. Both of them got to work immediately. They had to snake over 200 feet of pipe from my upstairs bathroom to my connection to my house from the street. They didn't even charge me a rush fee; no BS, straight business practices. Great company. Thank you, Kirk. I will be calling you in the future.

I called Patriot Plumbing on a Sunday because my main line was backed up. I was pleasantly surprised at the quick response. Kirk's son Connor was at my house within an hour. I appreciate how seemed genuinely concerned about my situation. He was able to take care of the problem promptly, gave me options on what need to be done to fix the issue without high pressure tactics. I highly recommend Patriot Plumbing.

When my guest bathroom toilet was clogged, Kirk and his son, Connor, arrived on time, fixed the problem and did some research into possible causes, even checking under the house. The cost was reasonable and I am pleased with the result. Kirk has been my plumber since 2009.

At first, Patriot Plumbing seemed great. They gave us some free advice over the phone about the house we were putting in an offer on. Then, some more issues came up in our final walkthrough, so we hired them to do an on-site plumbing inspection for $275. The plumber was supposed to meet our real estate agent there, but showed up early and had left by the time they were supposed to meet. We called repeatedly trying to get the results of our inspection. Finally, the plumber called my husband and gave him a quick run down over the phone. However, my husband was about to board a flight and wasn't able to write anything down so we asked for a written report. We kept asking for several weeks and were told that we could have a report once we committed to having the work done. After rudely yelling at our real estate agent, he agreed to send us a written report. Then, we asked for cost estimates for the issues they had found. He again refused to give us anything until we committed to the work. Who would commit to having work done without a price estimate?! The plumber was extremely rude and unprofessional and we had to fight tooth and nail to get a simple inspection report that we paid $275 for. Then, to top it all off, he didn't even correctly identify the problem with our plumbing (we discovered this when we had someone else successfully fix our plumbing issues).

If I could choose 0 stars I would. Something is absolutely wrong with the owner Kirk. We had an error code on our Navien water heater so we called Patriot Plumbing. The owner showed up to my front door. When I opened it he said he couldn't do my job because of the stickers on my husbands truck. Basically he eluded to the fact that our Republican views offended him.. It caught me by surprise and I just said ok. Then he started laughing and went on to make comments about how Biden is ruining this country etc.. it seemed very unprofessional but I ignored it. This man was all over the place- seemed to be on drugs. He actually even said he had vertigo and that's why he was acting the way he was acting. I'm sorry but this behavior was way more than vertigo. He looked at my unit from the outside and started spiting out all of the things that could possibly be wrong. He said the gas line was too small, the unit needed to be vented differently. Then after being there for 10 min, he said he had to go because he needed to be somewhere by 5. Later that night he called me and told me the plumber that installed the unit probably didn't use a conversion kit for propane ( which he did). He was all over the place with his diagnosis. Needless to say, I decided to not use his services as I had a really bad feeling about him. The next morning he texted me telling me he was going to pick up the $125 service fee, which was never disclosed. Additionally he did not properly provide any diagnosis. He then proceeds to insult me and said he could tell I was ""cheap, cheap, cheap"" from the beginning. His behavior, especially for a business owner is very concerning and I see he has been involved a few different law suits. No surprise. Stay clear of this shady character.

We waited 4 hours for our appointment with Patriot Plumbing (after waiting 4 days to get the appointment). When the plumber, Kirk, came he refused to work at our house based on a sign in my front yard. I called the office to inform them what had happened and asked that they let their customers know that there may be circumstances under which they will not provide services due to the customers personal beliefs.
Note: I have edited this review to provide a factual accounting of what happened.

The owner of this company walked off the job without finishing his work. Never came back to finish after I paid him.

I had a main water leak at my house. After battling with the builders for a week, I called Patriot Plumbing. Kirk and his son, Connor, came late afternoon on a Saturday and worked until after sundown to correct the issue so we could apply water back inside the house. They came back throughout the week to finish the job and lay concrete. They both were fun to have conversations with and were more than willing to help explain the process and teach me. 10/10 would recommend!

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!!!
