Description of Work: They attempted to locate a leak in our irrigation system...did not find anything, but also took more than a week to let us know the results. Wanted to dig up our yard to locate the possible leak they couldn't find. We decided to go with someone else after I called several times to get the report. A lot of money for nothing!!

Description of Work: rerouted a slab leak pipe. Turned out to be a fixed price job that took about 4 hours. The service was good, but I thought the price was ridiculous, but I had them do the work anyway. I would not do that again.

Response from Master Plumbing & Leak Detection
We completed the estimated and authorized work for $1500.00, time and materials(copper pipe and fittings...). It was a full days work to do so, not 4hrs. We've been out several times in the past 8yrs for various repairs on different portions of their plumbing system. This work was to reroute a large cold water line servicing his home. We've gone through our paperwork and photos of this repair and find no reason for this complaint. Everything went as estimated and completed, as scheduled. This homeowner was informed of everything in detail that was going to take place concerning this necessary work. Sadly, this homeowners dwelling is experiencing plumbing issues that appear to be premature for his neighborhood. It is a beautiful house and not that old. It is our opinion that the issues must be related to the construction of the dwelling and materials used. We've attempted to reach out to this homeowner but haven't heard from them yet.

Description of Work: I had a major leak from my jacuzzi tub. Master Plumber came out after receiving the job for leak detection from my insurance company unannounced. I was not called prior to arrival. The plumber seemed uninterested and annoyed when asked to put on shoe covers before walking on my cream colored carpet. He proceeded to fill the tub 1/4 full and look at plumbing. He noted a small drip from the drain of the tub and said, "That's your problem". When I mentioned again that the major leak to my downstairs family room did not happen after my normal, soaking baths, but only after using the jets in the tub, he said, "You need a jacuzzi specialist", and still charged $285 for the leak detection, that was not even the major problem!

Response from Master Plumbing & Leak Detection
We were contacted by this homeowners insurance company who requires us to make an effort to contact the homeowner to schedule an appointment and prior to arrival, both were accomplished and documented. An inspection and test was performed on the Jacuzzi tub. A drain compression nut was leaking at the waste and overflow. As well as the Jacuzzi pump failing during use. These issues were photo documented and reported to this homeowner and his insurance company as the source of the reported water damages. A thermal camera was used to locate the water damage to the dining room below. We've reviewed the report and photos generated for this homeowners claim and verified their accuracy. We did this to make sure we responded appropriately to the claims made about our service while on site. As for the booties, we have our own and use them whenever requested. Our plumbing inspection aided in the claim coverage decision by his adjuster. We don't have authorization to make coverage decisions. We understand that some people are more upset than others about their homes being damaged by their plumbing problems. We often find some people are more sensitive and emotional during these events as well. We obviously hope that this homeowners claim went well for them. We would also like to hear directly from any customer who feels they aren't receiving the level of customer service due them. We go way out of our way to provide the most professional service possible. Insurance providers will only hire the most trust worthy and professional contractors available. Providing them with as much detail relevant to the claim as possible, so they can make their coverage determinations promptly and accurately. We all would like to know that is exactly how our own insurance providers conduct their business. Wouldn't you agree?

Description of Work: Master Plumbing installed my kitchen faucet. I needed some additional fittings and the vent valve cleaned out as well. The bill was what I expected. The service person was very professional and experienced. I like how punctual he was. In addition the office called to make sure he arrived. I will use this company in the future.

Response from Master Plumbing & Leak Detection
We explained repeatedly that we don't have a service charge to just show up. We have no fees to come out. We just could get this homeowner to believe that. We needed to simply come out and take a look at their issue and provide a free estimate. Just as a note; We are in the process of developing an App so the customers can take photos or videos of their plumbing issues and send them directly to us. It will also provide the ability for you to pick a date that you would like for us to come out as well. Having this App will also make it possible to give a rough estimate addressing their plumbing issues. This App is in response to this type of need, as well as others. Still, we feel that nothing will replace a free onsite plumbing inspection and free estimate though.

Description of Work: Referred to me by my Homeowners Insurance company ( Wawanesa ) to check out a small leak in my slab. Arrived on time and proceeded to evaluate the problem and potential solutions in a very professional manner.

Always great
Description of Work: In my line of work I have to employ the services of a plumber all the time, all over Southern California and my top choice is always Master Plumbing. Compared to other companies out there, they are Top Notch, Experienced and reasonably priced plumber. They are always on time and do what needs to be done. I have called them out to re-inspect a job even after a homeowner called a different plumber who could not locate a leak and Master Plumbing has always came through. My Customers have all been very happy with their technicians and their work. If you want a highly professional, highly qualified with a reasonable price then I would suggest Master Plumbing.

After performing a leak detection to determine the source of the leak ($200 paid for by homeowners insurance to determine no water damage to the house), Tom came back the following week to effect the repair. While performing the repair, he discovered that the hot water line from the kitchen to the master bath (that also ran in the slab underground) had already been bypassed at some point in the past. This did not impact the current repair. While $1700 for less than four hours work seems excessive to me, it was less than another estimate that I had received. Also, it included the cost of materials. I guess it pays to be in the plumbing business.
Description of Work: Re-routed a hot water supply line that ran in the slab under the house and had developed a leak (called a slab leak).

Daniel arrived on time, just when he said he would be there. He began working on the outside before I arrived. Very nice job, did exactly what we had discussed a day earlier. When he was replacing the shower valve, he had to knock out some tile in order to access the old valve. This was done without any explanation, so I was surprised to see him doing it. It would have been better if he would have explained this BEFORE breaking the tiles. He then said he would return the next day to finish the overflow and drain because he didn't have the right parts on hand. When he didn't, I called the office and he was sent back two days later. Saying he was finished, he left the overflow with large rust spots showing. He went back to dress it up with caulking only when my wife complained about it. A smoker, his breath was offensive. He never smoked in my house, only in his van. He left a few cigarette butts near the curb. The job ended up just as we hoped for, but was expensive.
Description of Work: Replaced punctured supply pipe at front of house and new hose bibs. Replaced faulty bath/shower valves and new shower head. Replaced blocked bath overflow and drain fitting.

We found that this plumbers quality and professionalism was not up to our company standards soon after this repair. We regret the bad experience and fired this plumber as a result.

New Kohler toilet, supply line, and angle stop for $300 including labor. Pretty good price. Another plumber quoted over $400 for the same thing. Did not remove dried caulking around old toilet footprint. Had to do that myself. I'd rate the experience a 10 for price, 9 for quality of work, and 7 for timeliness due to 3 visits needed to complete the job.
Description of Work: Originally requested replacement of a flush kit and angle stop. Terry showed up on time- very courteous. Was told that the toilet was in good order, but parts for this toilet such as the new flush kit were costly. Estimated the flush kit itself would cost over $200 and would need to be special order. Recommended replacing toilet instead. Would need to come back another day with new toilet. Replaced toilet with nice Kohler, replaced angle top and supply line. 2nd appointment had to be rescheduled- 3rd appointment met.

WE HAD A MAJOR WATER LEAK IN OUR HOME AND WHEN WE CALLED THIS COMPANY A MAN CAME OUT TO LOOK AT THE SITE. HE SAID THAT IF THE LEAK WAS FOUND NOT TO BE TOO FAR INTO THE SLAB THE PRICE MIGHT GO DOWN. THE ACTUAL WORKERS THAT CAME OUT WERE WONDERFUL AND NICE, AND STATED IT WAS NOT ACTUALLY UNDER THE SLAB, BUT IN OUR GARAGE. THEY REPAIRED THE LEAK AND WROTE UP THE PRICE. WE TOLD THEM WHAT THE EST. HAD BEEN AND THEY WOULD NOT LOWER THE PRICE DESPITE THE EASY FIX. THE WORK HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE AND I FEEL THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE FLEXIBLE.
