Steele Plumbing

Owner Joe came within in one day of my call - on a Sunday - to address a possible gas line leak. Was able to detect the problem of a clogged line very quickly and was professional and honest. I will be recommending Steele Plumbing to all my real estate clients!

10 STARS!
If I ever have any more plumbing problems (lord I hope not) I will always call Steele.
We just moved into a new house and already spent $1,700 on plumbing by the time I called them. Guest toilet flooded into the hallway on a Monday night at 9:30pm. Turns out there was a block in the main. That was a 3 day ordeal.
Trying to deal with one thing at a time, the Master toilet had been running since we moved in, that was on hold as it was a non-emergency.
My dad suggested Floyd & Howerton, but turns out the company had been acquired by Steele when Mr. Howerton passed away. And I could not be happier I ended up with them!
The boss man himself came over to deal with our toilet, a couple simple fixes. He also tightened up the seat and noticed the toilet had a very strange flap that is no longer made. He offered to dig around to try and find a new one, other wise next time there was a issue, it would mean a new toilet. Ugh. They followed up and of course my luck would have it, it's no longer made. (We'll deal with the fix next year as he says we have some time.) And before he left he inspected our water heater and the garbage disposal!
Today boss man came over again to check out fireplace gas valve. All was good. I asked if he had to run, and he said no. So he also did the piping to convert our fireplace to wood burning, AND I asked about the reversed hot/cold in our master shower and he took care of that too!
I have only dealt with the owner so far, but I would like to think his employees are all friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and kind....just like he is.
I hope to not need them, but Steele is the only plumbing company I will call if we need a plumber.
Price wise I think they are fair, though maybe a tad on the high side, but as the daughter of a father who was in the construction trades....I will pay for work knowing it is done right the first time.

Water heater went out called for a bid, proposal. What's about to pull the string when I thought I'll call steele in plumbing El Cajon, my neighborhood plumber to get a bid. not only did they beat the price of the original proposal they were able to come out the same day and fix it promptly actually replace a water heater with a tankless water heater. Laurie and Joe were great highly recommend them for your plumbing needs Ricky G

I bought my first house and of course the first problems I had were plumbing issues. A friend of mine had used Steele plumbing and recommended them to me. When Joe came over he assess the problems and explain to me what he was going to do to fix them. I felt comfortable after they left that the job was done right. You can tell that these guys are true professionals.

Pulled into my garage and found a puddle of water on the floor...found out that my 1996 water heater was rusting and leaking!!

Laurie from Steele Plumbing gave me her cell phone to show me how to turn off and drain the water that evening.

Joe Steele (boss) came the next morning and replaced the entire water heater.

These folks are honest and quick to respond. I highly recommend them for any plumbing needs!!

I have the water pressure regulator replaced when I bought my house. And several weeks later, my tenant told me that water pressure regulator is leaking slowly, maybe 1 drop a day.
The plumber came and said it was condensation. They did nothing and just charged me $95.
Several days back, I covered the regulator with a ziploc bag. Today I see around 1 spoon of water in the bag!
The water pressure regulator is in the garage. How come there's condensation in both winter and summer?

Wow! what a great experience... Joe and Laurie were amazing from the start. I've had trouble with 2 plumbers in San Diego doing bad work and charging way too much before. Steele was quite different, Joe came shortly after I called and quickly diagnosed the problem we had with the heater, gave us an exact estimate and got it fixed the same day. Will use again. Thanks!

Professional, timely, courteous, and by the way did I mention Professional!

I contacted Steele Plumbing at 7:00 in the morning, Laurie had the crew at my house by 9:30 the same morning. Joe and Randy evaluated the problem and showed me the problem (tree roots in the ancient cast iron plumbing and offered me a two choices, a quick fix or permanent solution. Since the problem would continue to occur we chose the permanent solution which was quickly completed.

Joe and his crew did a fantastic job fixing the problem while minimizing damage to our landscaping. While they were here they evaluated and quickly corrected a problem with my tankless water heater.

Steele plumbing will be my plumbers in the future.

I highly recommend the Steele family plumbing co.

My experience with Steele Plumbing was not a happy one. They arrived on time and
asked about the problems. They (there were 2 men that came) finished the work
and I paid the fee (very expensive). One toilet kept cycling on and running a few
seconds. When I called the office to ask that the plumber return and check it out
and make an adjustment, I was told that the water pressure was too high and they
wouldn't come back unless I had them install a new pressure regulator. Why it
wasn't explained BEFORE doing any work that nothing was guaranteed unless
a pressure regulator was installed, I don't know. For that matter, why didn't they
at least try to adjust the pressure regulator that was in place. I was also told that
the toilet kept cycling on because of the water pressure and that there was no
adjustment that could be made. The woman on the phone was neither helpful
nor courteous. I called another plumber who came out and made an adjustment
and the problem was solved, WITHOUT having a new water pressure regulator
installed.

As a preschool director, the safety of our children and staff have to take a priority. In December we discovered a gas leak and called the gas company, who promptly locked our meter, leaving our Preschool without heat. We are so very thankful for the prompt, professional, timely, and courteous service of Steele Plumbing. From our first contact with Lori who answered our questions and follow up through the process. A very special acknowledgment of Joe, the field technician, who responded immediately. I am very pleased to recommend Steele Plumbing for any gas leaks or plumbing issues. You will never seek any one else knowing that with Steele Plumbing you're receiving the best service possible.
