Foothill Plumbing

Foothill Plumbing used to be our first and only call since we moved here in 2001. No more.
Since «third-​generation» Mike took over, the prices have crept up and up [$ 150 for the routine drain cleaning we had every 2 years for $ 100]. $ 150 for a routine snake-​out?
And today was the last straw when Mike was driving his big Foothill Plumbing truck up our street and made my wife drive around the back of HIS truck!
«Can you move up just a little bit more, so I can get by?»
«NO, I can’t. You can drive around me.»
The hell with you, Mike, and with Foothill Plumbing. I put up with you becoming a ripoff, but bullying women? You’ve lost my trust on every level. People, take your business somewhere else.

Have been using Foothill Plumbing for many years. Pricing always seems reasonable, they finish in a timely manner, clean up after them selves, are very accommodating when it comes to scheduling, are friendly and clean. Micheal the owner is down to earth, fair, knowledgeable, funny… not to mention good looking. All of his plumbing technicians and office staff thus far have been fantastic too. It’s still as reliable as when his father ran it. Have recommended them to dozens of people. Their the go to guys for all you plumbing needs. Micheal/​Mike also has recommended other business when I was looking and in need of other repairs, I.e. electrical. Thanks!

Love Love Love Foothill plumbing. I spoke to Miranda on the phone yesterday for a silly faucet replacement. Nothing of any urgency but was treated equally to those that have a water main break. Mike came the next day and installed the new faucet and fresh water spicket. He allowed me to change out the dishwasher air gap cap.(I like to be useful like that.)
I cant say enough good things about FP. They’re the best in the area.
After having Mike out a couple of times now, he will definitely be handling all my future plumbing needs.

The Lonsdale brothers and their entire crew are awesome! I’ve used various plumbers throughout the years in the Foothills, and Foothill Plumbing is by far THE BEST! I really appreciate their attentiveness, dependability and their timely responses. I love that they take the time to explain how things work and the methodology behind their work.
Most of all, they do great work! I come away with confidence that their job will last a very long time!

Foothill Plumbing is the BEST! We had a horrible backup Friday 5pm. The smell was unbelievable throughout the entire house. They sent Mike out immediately. He figured out the problem, took care of it and even cleaned up. Because of their prompt response, we were able to enjoy the weekend.

Their prices are totally outrageous! Don’t use them! They charged me $ 100+ for parts that only cost $ 10!

We had a sudden loss of hot water in our business which has many sinks. The first two plumbers out did not have the patience to actually analyze the problem. One even charged us $ 400 to replace a part that later turned out to be fine.
On a recommendation from a general contractor we know, we called Mike who was able to come the next business day. He really took the time to explore our hot water setup which includes a hot water return loop with all its many parts. He spent a couple hours methodically eliminating various causes. I used to troubleshoot computer networks for a living, and I can tell you he is a great troubleshooter, even in complicated situations.
Mike eventually discovered that our original plumbing installer had made 3 mistakes installing the hot water return loop, and that the cold water inlet to the hot water heater had rusted over and was blocked. No other plumber had bothered to look at the cold water inlet. Mike and the company that makes the water heater have never seen a rusted cold water inlet before and Mike spent quite a while on the phone with their support people talking through the problem with them and making the claim that we are owed a replacement unit.
Mike was friendly, knowledgeable and available. What more could you ask for? Oh right, he also cleaned up after himself quite neatly.
I would highly recommend Foothill plumbing, even for a business with more needs than typical residential.

Mike really helped! We called on a Saturday morning and he showed up a couple of hours later. Mike found the problem with our sewer stoppageq quickly. He worked quickly within the time frame he quoted. I really appreciate the efficient job he did. I know who do call if I have any future pulumbing problems

Love… love …Foothill Plumbing… used them in the past and Mike did a FABULOUS JOB THEN AND TODAY… I really appreciate the fast, courteous service they provided for me ! My plumbing is a mess and I will ABSOLUTELY be using them to do it in the future !! Thanks again Mike and your Other Worker !!

I had a pretty severe leak in my front yard so I called FootHill Plumbing since we’ve had a wonderful experience in the past — they’ve worked at my house over the years on several different projects. it just seems like they’ve gotten too big to provide the same level of service they used to. Mike came out to look at the leak, took one look, then said he had to go work on something else. He said he’d come the next day. On the second day, I got a call around 3 pm saying that he won’t be able to come out because he was too busy. I asked when they could come help and was told that they’re short handed and the rest of the week was booked up. This was on a Tuesday! I totally understand prioritizing jobs and would have been more accepting if I had a minor issue, but I had a major issue and they were too busy to help. Maybe my job was too messy for them? I guess they’re enjoying good business and can pick and choose their work, but I can no longer rely on them.

It’s a Friday at 5:30 pm. Both toilets are backing up in my rental unit. I Unilocaled Foothill Plumbing and within a half-​hour, Mike was on the scene. 40 minutes after that, the toilets were working and the renter was happy again. I will definitely call them again for any plumbing repair. Thanks Mike!

When you wake up to a leak and the smell of wet wood in your home, you think its gonna be a bad day. Well, I called Foothill Plumbing although they are not in my area a friend had nothing but good things to say about them, within 2hrs Mike was knocking at my door. I showed him the issue and before he cut into the wall he checked every possible corner where the leak might be. Finally, after checking everything he had to cut into the wall and within mins he knew what the issue was.
He even cleaned up the mess from cutting into the wall… I was in shock. TALK about great service. He was very professional!
Since he was there, I took advantage and showed him another issue we had that HAD been repaired by another plumbing company, yet we still had the slow leak and Mike took care of that as well. I live in Valencia, this company is based around 25miles away from me and after all the work was done and it was a Sunday afternoon call… the final bill did NOT add a second mortgage to my home. I will recommend FOOTHILL PLUMBING to whomever needs a professional plumber! Needless to say, Sunday turned out to be A-​OK. Thank you, Mike!!!

They do a great job on all plumbing needs.

I was referred to this company from a neighbor. I was pleasantly surprised! A family business, currently run by the son of the founder. Naturally he had to come and fix something I screwed up. While I had his attention, he fixed a half-​dozen issues we’ve had on-​going for a while. Mike, the current owner, has an excellent work ethic with customer service and satisfaction priority #1. He gave me an estimate up front which I felt was very reasonable. I will refer Foothill Plumbing to all my friends.

We discovered we had a leak in our backyard. Within 2.5 hours Mike had solved the problem! The issue was well explained and the estimate was comparable for a professional fee. I have already requested an estimate for more work to be done on the house we moved into a few months ago. Finally, we’ve found our plumber!

Names suck for me, but two awesome technicians came out to my pad to fix some plumbing issues with a newly purchased 1949 house from the stone-​age. For everything they mentioned they pointed it out to me, and it totally made sense. Showing your customer the issue and providing an option is rare today. Contractors just run with it, and you rarely know what they did/​use. I was given the pros/​cons, shown how jacked my pips were (pin hole space on the galvanized pipe). Totally, the crew to call within the area. They itemized each issue I was facing that I asked about in the quote/​estimate. The price was also cheaper than I initially expected from what I’ve heard of other people and their plumbing adventures.

I called this company for an estimate on how much I would be charged for new faucets & valve stems — I got a fair estimate– the reason I called is because one of those BUBA — type plumbers (Al Torres plumbing) had just price gouged me an enormous amount of money for the work that was done. So, in calling Foothill plumbing I received courteous, friendly service and a fair pricing. I will definitely use them in the future!

i called this Plumbing Company to help me out with a gas adapter that needed to be replaced. The owner came over and fixed the problems. What was really cool, he told me i buy the parts from a store, or had the parts already, he would only charge me labor. He discounted me on a couple valves switch, that just needed to be replaced with a $ 6.00 discount, plus the first time 10 percent discount.
He was very honest and down to earth, in which I like in a service technician. I will hire again, and strongly recommend this company for any plumbing issues you may need.

No reviews for Foothill Plumbing? That’s surprising since they’ve been around forever. We’ve called on them 4 times since living here, and if you can call major pipe work or rootering a good experience… ours were good experiences.
I just wanted to point out that they did excellent work in as short a time as possible to keep fees down, explained everything in detail when asked, and are prompt and cheerful. My feeling about them is they are dependable and very honest. Most plumbers around here are honest, of course (I know people tend to be skeptical when they’re shelling out huge dollars for a flood in their basement) but I know I can depend on these guys to show up on time, do the job properly and charge a fair price.
