Plumber Boy

Technitian Daniel was great, very knowledgeable plumber! He was very helpful and even cleaned up the mess under sink ! He did not leave until he was certain problem was solved.

Very unsatisfied with the service! We had water leaking all over our kitchen floor. We contacted our home insurance and they sent them to come check it out. The plumber came, he took a glance and kept saying that this is not covered by the insurance and that is not covered by insurance. I wanted him just to diagnose the problem first. He said he would need to cut the wall to access the pipes and need to come back the next day. Of course I told him yes, anything that is needed to be done to fix the problem. He came back the next day and I took another glance without even cutting into anything and claimed that our pipes were installed incorrectly so again the insurance will not cover. I told him I didn’t know considering we just bought the house less than a year ago. I told him that the insurance was purchased after escrow with the proper home inspection. He calls the insurance and told them that I had recently remodeled my kitchen and the pipes were installed incorrectly. So of course they denied my claim. I asked the plumber and asked why would he say that to the insurance company when it wasn’t true. He claims he didn’t say it that. But somehow the insurance denied me because of that. They were lazy. He didn’t even diagnosed correctly. He just assumed the problem. And now he caused so the insurance won’t cover my claim. No only did he not help my plumbing problems. He made it worse! Now I have to fight with the insurance to get them to approve my claim. I understand if it’s a big job, but If they are that lazy doing it. Than just tell me, I will find someone else. Don’t ruin it for me and now I have to prove to the insurance company that it was remodeled prior to purchase!

David is the real deal. He came to the house and made adjustments to our tankless system as well as the faucets in our main bathroom. He’s prompt, courteous, professional and takes care of business. I had bought some replacement faucets, and he told me that I did not need them. He reseated the valves in the shower and they work like they are new. The hot water in our shower was also adjusted to account for the power outage which knocked out our timer on the recirculating pump of our tankless system. Would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone. You won’t be sorry. He’s all business but quite personable and dependable.

I didn’t know whether to write an update or edit my review. While I want to let Unilocalers know what initially happened, I also want to make it right for Plumber Boy, because they made it right for me.
I had a slow leak inside the walls that manifested itself in a drip from my garage ceiling. All I could think was uh-​oh. As I was also driving into my garage from taking ill with the flu, I didn’t want to deal with it. I called my home warranty people who sent Plumber Boy out. Ken was great! While I coughed and «ow“ed in high fever, he got the permission needed to tear open my ceiling, find the leak, and go to work fixing it. As he was fixing it, he also noted that I would need drying. So as I turned over from my flu coma, he also recommended the drying company. I was very confident in his communication and knowledge. So before I knew it, the drying company came out to start their demolition and fixing of the mold. It went pretty fast (fast enough to make your head spin), but like I said, I was confident in the words the serviceman (Ken) spoke. I give PlumberBoy 5 stars for this service.
I initially had a problem in billing. The serviceman charged me for the service, but I had already paid my warranty company, who was paying the company the remainder. I didn’t want to fuss with the man (as I had the flu, and I just wanted to go back to bed), so I wrote him a check, with his promise that if the warranty company paid him, they’d rip up the check and send it back to me. Well, I got better in a few days and checked on this. My warranty company did pay them, so I called the company.
The owner acknowledged that Ken had told him I might need a refund. We had a delay, bank fees charged, and another mix-​up, due to the owners’ unforseen circumstances, but they made it right. They immediately called upon my initial Unilocal post, explained the situation via phone, and set an appointment to 1-​apologize in person, 2-​pay my bank fees, and 3-​offer me credited services. :) They went above and beyond to earn their 5+ rating!

We’re very happy with the service from «Plumber Boy» here in San Pedro .We had a straight pipe that must have had a weak spot (inl the ceiling) and started spraying, but luckily hadnt burst. We’re getting a few other plumbing problems fixed, now, but need more major work later.
Their good attitude and work ethic, as well as the quick clean up of any mess necessitated by the work, was well appreciated.
Also appreciated is their honesty about what might really be needed for long term fix and costs involved.
We will certainly call them back in the future for less urgent but more substantial work. Thanks, Unilocalers, for helping us find this excellent local service !

Plumber boys saved our lives! They were the second plumbers called from our warranty company to solve a plumbing stoppage at our house. They came after hours in the evening, made a quick diagnosis and was able to solve the problem. They were courteous and knowledgable, and more importantly came when they said they would. They gave us recommendations that no one else had given to us before and gave us ideas of what needed to be done in the near future. Definitely will be using them again!

I don’t usually write reviews unless I think they are necessary. I woke up the other day to find water all over the bathroom floor & dripping from the ceiling. I knew this wasn’t a good sign. Being new to the area & not much experience with «flooding» I went to Unilocal to find some help. I called a few companies & all were too busy to help that day. Then I came across Plumber Boy & called them. David answered the phone & once I explained the situation to him — he told me that I needed to have this looked at immediately. He advised he was booked for the day but would come by once his appointments were finished (prob around 6pm). I thanked him for his help and told him that I would see him later. 6pm came and went — so I called David & he assured me he was still coming but was still a ways away from my place and would call once he was in town. At 9pm he called and said he was 5 mins away — once he arrived — he assessed the situation and immediately took action. He needed to go up to my neighbors place to find the leak — which he did & repaired it immediately. He then referred me to another company to come out & begin «drying» out my now water logged bathroom. I have to say that this is probably the best customer service I have received in a long time & the fact that he followed through on his promise to make it over here no matter what time it was just goes to show that this Company & especially David can be relied on. I asked him for some business cards which I will give to anyone I know with confidence that he will get the job done!!!
Thank You David for all of your help!!!

Insurance company sent out two plumbers before Plumber Boys came to the rescue.
First plumber gave up without trying anything. Second snaked the line and said that he was going to need to replace the pipes. $ 1800?! He was suppose to hydro jet and didn’t even try…
David and Robert showed up the next day and had the pipes cleared faster than my toilet flushes! I will use them again in the future if needed and will be recommending them to anyone that has any plumbing problems.
This is a professional and knowledgeable company.
Great job guys! Thanks very much!

Plumber Boy is the best! I was having a lot of issues with the plumbing for my washing machine and he fixed it in no time. He’s very professional, knowledgeable, and timely. If you’re looking for a plumber that knows what he’s doing and is customer oriented, Plumber Boy is the one!

I’m so grateful I got a hold of David late Saturday. I needed his help BIG TIME!!! Out side our house near the lawn is a underground pipe that started overflowing with things that should not be coming out. Knowing it was pretty late I Unilocal plumbers near my house and he came up still open. I called and thankfully we where the last house of the day for him. He SAVED the day and I didn’t have to wait for Sunday for a other plumber to charge me double. David and his assistant where amazing and quick and super friendly. I definitely recommend him to anybody in San Pedro or anywhere around the area. Five stars for sure!!! and affordable a plus! Will definitely be our guy for any plumbing problems that comes up.

David just left our house and we are so glad we found him. My husband and I just bought a 1927 home and immediately the toilet started over flowing with just TP. I called our home warranty company and the first plumber they sent out was a total nut case and said he had to order a part then left and never came back. So we called our home warranty company again and this time they sent Plumber Boy. David saw the problem and said it could be A or it could be B. Let’s try A first. And voila!!! No more backed up toilet!

Home warranty sent Dave of Plumber Boy out to fix our stopped up bathroom. Dave was the third plumber to look at this toilet; the other two tried to upsell a toilet removal, while Dave fixed it in 15 minutes. Dave also took a look at a leaky faucet as a courtesy. I would definitely call them again.

Home warranty sent Plumber Boy (PB) to fix our plumbing issues. We were experiencing back up in both bathrooms. PB also was sent out for the stopper in our hallway bathroom. PB fixed all our issues in a timely and professional manner. PB also recommended proper maintenance care for our drains in order to avoid future problems. Overall, very satisfied with their service and would recommend them for your plumbing needs.

Dave was helpful, thorough and awesome. When you call a plumber you figure «oh boy I’m in for it, this is gonna hurt.» but Dave at Plumber Boy was friendly and economical and explained things. highly recommended!

Our home warranty sent them over and I was initially skeptical as other plumbers sent over via our home warranty service have not been great. Plumber Boy was a notable exception. The plumber they sent was professional, knowledgable, thorough, and pleasant to talk to. I would definitely call them again if the need arises.

The cats knocked my tweezers down the bathroom sink drain — the third pair in the last couple months… and knocked them open side up. I had my husband remove the trap under the sink but, in doing so, he twisted a bit too hard and snapped the pipe protruding from the wall in half. I’d noticed there was a little corrosion on the top of that pipe. I didn’t realize it was about to completely disintegrate. My husband, much annoyed at this point, fished out my tweezers, handed them to me and said, «Well, here are your damn tweezers… and now, we need a plumber.»
So… I got on the computer and looked up plumbers in our area, found Plumber Boy, read all the glowing reviews, sent a message explaining our issue and, even though it was about 7 in the evening and after their work hours, David wrote me back at 11 PM that same night. I called him back in the morning. Let me just say, even the phone call was pleasant. I could tell this was a guy who enjoyed his work but who was also fair and reasonable. This Friday after a holiday weekend so I didn’t expect him to rush out that same day or even on Saturday. Figured someone this nice with such great reviews here is probably in high demand. We set up an appointment for the following Monday and, in the meantime, my husband and I just brushed our teeth over the tub and toilet. :)
David gave me a window between 2 and 4 that afternoon. He arrived at 2:30. He was great with our crazy dogs, managed to squeeze into our tiny bathroom, assessed the situation and said it was actually better than he expected. He explained everything he was going to do in lay terms that I could understand — and then he went to work doing everything he said he was going to do… and also pointed out our toilet was leaking water and offered to fix that as well. Oh, you bet! And he did. All this, in about an hour! And his rates — let’s just say my husband warned me plumbers were super expensive… and that this was not the case at all. Plumber Boy is VERY reasonable and David is honest and fair. I liked that a lot.
David — a fantastic person doing good work. I told him, as he was leaving, that although I hoped I wouldn’t be seeing him anytime real soon (knock on the pipes that all pipes stay intact), you better believe I’m going to be calling him again the next time we have a plumbing issue. For as long as he’s local and as long as we are, too, Plumber Boy is the plumber we’ll be calling any time we have a plumbing issue from now on. David is THE BEST! And he’s good with crazy, barking dogs, too.

Dave was assigned to do our repairs by our home warranty company. He did a great job fixing our plumbing issues, and I will definitely use him again in the future. The shower was only giving out hot water and the valve needed to be replaced. The valve was improperly installed by the previous owner’s tile contractor and the valve was cemented in. Dave had to get a special tool to pull out a stripped bolt and he put in some extra elbow grease to get the valve out, at no extra cost to me. He also gave me a good deal on a new hose bib for my garden water faucet since the old hose bib was leaking and rusted out.

David gave great service. He took his time to make sure that each plumbing issue was solved.

Today Plumber Boy came out to take a look at our antique faucet in a ½ bathroom. I must admit, the job was going to be extremely challenging based on the age of the sink, however, David and Daniel’s professionalism and experience made the problem rather easy to solve. Although they had to take a trip to Home Depot for a few items, they did their best to stay optimistic. They ended up rebuilding a wall mount to handle within the washbowl. A job done correctly that took some time, effort and experience, even after we were told to replace the sink by a previous plumber. I highly recommend Plumber Boy for all your needs and I will be calling them back to change over all our plumbing from galvanized to copper.

We desperately needed a plumber on the spur of the moment to replace a downstairs toilet. We contacted Plumber Boy and Dave the owner was able to schedule a same day appointment to come out and take care of business. Dave was very prompt, professional, courteous and affordable. He got the job done well and quickly. Will definitely call him in the future for any plumbing issues. Would highly recommend the services offered by Plumber Boy if you want a job well done at a reasonable price!
