**Excellent Service from Start to Finish!** I had an outstanding experience with Advanced Plumbing! Scheduling was incredibly easy, and they even offered to send someone out the same day. Since the following day worked better for me, they happily accommodated my schedule\. The technician arrived right on time, was…
NIck, the owner was probably pretty good as he gave me a reasonable quote right on the phone! But, his installer Alex WAS GREAT! Within 30 seconds of seeing my dad's current installation: not earthquake proof, gas vent elbows are 90 degrees and rusting, the water in&outlets are stiff copper, not flex ... also, the…
Highly recommend Advanced Plumbing & Drain. Our tech, Aaron, was great, providing a very reasonable price and efficient installation of a new water heater and leak detection device. He was also very easy to communicate with and even came out on a weekend to finish our job. We'll definitely come back to Advanced for any future needs.
Gabriel was very courteous and professional. He did an excellent installation of our new water heater. He answered all our questions.
Alex was quick in coming over and assessing the situation. He was able to walk me through the issues with the water heater and quickly replaced it within a few hours. Excellent work!
Dean was awesome! Took care of clogged drain lines and installed a faucet at the kitchen sink. Also helped with adjusting the hot water in our shower stall. Professional, friendly, efficient and hard working! Couldn’t ask for more.
Dean troubleshooted the water heater problem as a faulty pilot lighter and recommended replacement vs ordering multiple separate parts saving time and labor. He pointed out corroded connections and replaced those as well. Would not hesitate to use him again.
Great care and customer service. Appreciated the time Alex took to make sure the system was running smoothly and troubleshooting problems in real time.
I had a fantastic experience with Advanced Plumbing and Drain. My water heater broke at 8a and was draining water everywhere. I stopped it and called Advanced Plumbing and Drain for service. They were at my home by 11:30a. I quickly found out it needed replaced. I expected that because it was old. Dean went…
They came same day and replaced the water heater, and we had hot water an hour later. Price was reasonable as well, and came with a 6 year warranty.
Finally decided to make the switch to tankless water heater. We have used Advanced in the past on two occasions, a drain cleaning and a toilet replacement. Quality is top tear and guys have been clean and respectful. Beyond happy with the craftsmanship of how this new water heater looks. Neighbor already complemented while garage door was open 👍🏻
I have used Advanced Plumbing for several services over the years - toilet repair, faucet installation and repairs, and biggest was an emergency replacement of the water heater. Shout out to Gabriel and Nick for being so responsive and found excellent work including clean-up after the job is done! Update Jan 7,…
We had an emergency water heater issue in the late evening. I called Advanced and spoke to an amazingly sweet and sympathetic woman who put me in touch with Alex Fernandez by FaceTime who helped us shut things down to prevent further flooding. Alex showed up right on time early the next morning (the day before…
Gabriel and Sean did a fantastic job on our water heater installation. They were friendly and efficient and explained everything thoroughly. We were very pleased with their services and would definitely use them again.
Alex was busy so Gabrael came. He replaced the tank float and removed a nickel out of the garbage disposal, thank goodness we didn't have to replace it. He was smiley, friendly, and professional. Now we can request 2 people.
I just had a new water heater installed by Aaron, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. He was professional, friendly, and clearly knew his stuff. The entire process was smooth and handled in a single day. Highly recommend both Aaron and Advanced Plumbing & Drain for anyone looking for reliable,…
Quick appointment, did exactly what they said for the price quoted.
Alex from Advanced Plumbing and Drain was amazing! He arrived promptly, was kind and professional, and took the time to explain what was going on with each issue. I had a few different plumbing problems and wasn’t sure if they could all be handled at once, but Alex diagnosed everything quickly and had it all fixed…
Dean showed up right in time at 7:00 am! Diagnosed my water heater issue (old & corroded on inside) and had it replaced within 2 hours. He was professional and pleasant to work with. He even referred me to a restoration company to help with my water damage. I’ve used Advanced Plumbing in the past for sewer issues…
Had to have a garbage disposal installed and to leverage the visit, also a water valve replacement. Installer was professional, helpful (did some troubleshooting to try to avoid other costs) and provided fair estimates. My mom has used these folks before and always fair, honest, clean up after work and I feel we are…
