Jay was very nice and professional. Took care of my plumbing problem.
Martin was awesome. Cleared out my shower drain after I did everything first. Sometimes a plumber is necessary when the blockage is past the P-trap. Yes, it was expensive for a 15 minute fix. I would definitely use Cal’s Plumbing again.
Quiet, efficient, fair price.
Cal’s Plumbing sent a plumber the same day we called. Dane was very professional, he explained every step that he was doing to fix our problem. We are extremely pleased and impressed with Dane’s work. And we will be using Cal’s Plumbing if anything arises in the future. We highly recommend Cal’s Plumbing!
He was very professional and through.
He was no nice and polite. He helped me with everything i needed.
I had a stopped up drain in the kitchen sink. I called Cal's plumbing and they said they would send someone out tomorrow. They kept me informed about when and who would be coming. The technician contacted me and kept me updated about his progress in coming to my house. He was professional and very competent. Overall, it was a good experience.
Matt was great- was able to do several items on our to do list. Left rooms where work was done veery clean and had useful advice on each of the tasks he did
Gabriel did an excellent job
We had a bad clog in our kitchen sink and Cal’s showed up fast and fixed the problem quickly. Travis was great! Thanks for all the work.
Tech arrived promptly on short notice. They were friendly, respectful and did a great job.
Anthony came out late afternoon and worked until after dark to get our clog fixed. I highly recommend Anthony and the company. We will be following his suggestions and using Cal's plumbing for the next steps needed.
Professional service, courteous, and honest!
Christopher spent the time to explain why my kitchen drain was so slow to drain. After diligently cleaning the drain out several times, he was able to remove the sludge that had accumulated. Cal’s Plumbing is very responsive and sends out excellent technicians to help get my plumbing up and running!
Gabriel Aguilar arrived on our property and met with me and had reported that the bathroom sink was backing up. I expressed concern that the issue might be related to previous work. It was explained that the kitchen plumbing is not connected to the bathroom sink, but as a courtesy, the drain was snaked via the roof…
Been using Cal's over the years whenever there's a plumbing issue at my home. They showed up really quick, diagnosed, and removed a sewer blockage super fast. Jeremy was super helpful in explaining everything, highly recommend him and this company!
My service man was prompt, polite, knowledgeable, thorough, too many more adjectives to list! Thank you Donny I am could not be more pleased!
Cal's Plumbing just cleared a drain for us. Nick was prompt, experienced and friendly. My daughter had let a ton of bracelet beads down our bathtub and clogged the line. Nick came out and had it cleared within an hour of getting here.
Nick was a true angel, no exaggeration. My brother-in-law desperately needed help with multiple issues at his house, and Nick came in with compassion, expertise, and honesty to help him get back on his feet. The wrong person could've sent the situation over the edge for all of us, and I am so grateful that Nick was…
The folks at Cal's Plumbing have been taking excellent care of us and our house for years now. They're good enough that we will wait for them rather than call a different company!
Whenever I have Cal's over they are professional, thorough, and courteous. They are not the cheapest guys in town, but that said, they are fair with their pricing and the work gets done correctly the first time. Communication between the company and the client is excellent. Thank you!
Simple clogged sink. They were here and fixed it within 30 min.
Your tech did a nice clean job.
Gabriel helped us find two issues clogging our drains, and repaired an iron pipe clean out. Stellar work!
Great service, always on time. Your team knows everything there is to know about plumbing! Thanks!
Gabriel did an excellent job; he was very professional and knowledgeable.
Technician was knowledgeable and efficient.
Tyler was professional, had good communication, and answered all my questions. He gave a clear understanding of what needed to be done and the cost, and he was able to resolve our issue in an efficient manner. Thank you for a job well done!
Tyler did the estimate and the work. Great experience. Tyler got out here quickly to complete the estimate and Cal’s turned it around quickly so he was here a day later and the work was done quickly with high quality.
Matt was very efficient and expressed his concern that he do the best job possible. Very impressed and would use him again when needed.
I've used Cal's two times now. Both times they showed how professional and knowledgeable they are about their work. They are the only company I trust to get the job done correctly.
Donnie did a great job! We appreciate the helpful consultation & estimate.
Update January 7, 2024 Travis Johnson came out and helped me today with my hot water heater and his visit was as great as the previous visit. Travis was very helpful answering all my questions, he spoke professionally & his appearance was very professional as well. He was also very polite! He called 20 minutes prior…
Great workmanship! Great customer service!
As always, great service!
While their price was certainly on the high side, their services was first rate and very helpful. Tyler was great as he expalined everything. Good company.
Very reasonable price for cleaning out a blocked drain. The technician had to go at it from three different angles and ended up teaching me something I didn't know about my house. Super satisfied with the service!
The service that Jack Manning and Cal's Plumbing provide is always exceptional.
Very professional, hard working, dedicated, fun loving and friendly team. Got the job done quickly and did it well, with no surprise charges. Took care to protect the floor with plastic sheeting and shoe covers.
Matt was awesome! He quickly problem solved issues, and he explained every step of the way with me.
I had an great experience with Cal’s plumbing. Everyone from the office staff to Tyler in the field were great to work with!
Ryan did a great job. Had to work on the clog from both under the sink as well as t through he vent stack. The clog was pretty far down the vent stack, but he got it all sorted out. There's may be cheaper options out there, but Ryan from Cal's was professional, friendly and got the job done.
They called back within a few minutes of my reaching out to them and were able to set an appointment for following day. The service went well. Jack was very nice and very informative. My final charge was adjusted to less than the original quote. Not a lot less, but every dollar counts these days. He gave a lot of…
This company is excellent!
I've worked with Raul, Jack, Travis and Daniel. They all have been wonderful. They are prompt, professional, and very communicative. Cal's bolsters safety by sending a picture of the technician that's on the way so you know who to expect. Would highly recommend.
Travis and his co-worker were very knowlegable plumbers . Travis has great customer skills and a very charming personality.
I highly recommend this company. The response time was very quick. The technicians were professional, honest and very knowledgeable about what needed to be done to fix my sewer back up. The technician recommended fix for now and the future was appropriate for industry standards. My Dad is a plumber who lives out of…
Great communication, on time and excellent service
Nick was great and super helpful with all of my questions. He was professional and funny and didn’t make me feel like a hot dummy when I had no idea what he was talking about. Will use Cal’s Plumbing again.
Ryan was very thorough, and very honest. He fixed a leak under the kitchen sink just by reattaching something that came loose, at no charge. He gave clear prices for other work, and answered questions about other estimates for possible future jobs. Cal's isn't cheap, but quality service never is.
The tech that was dispatched to our house was fast, efficient, extremely knowledgeable, and got the job done right.
Had Cal's out to do a yearly inspection, and clear a tub drain
Travis fixed my leaking faucet. Yay!
Travis was great!! He was polite and explained things to me, where other just rush through. He is coming back and I will look forward to seeing him again.
Travis was an outstanding technician and although the problem with the drain was massive, he never gave up! Travis worked from 10:00 a.m. until almost 5:00 p.m to resolve our issues. He was knowledgeable, he kept us informed of his progress as he worked and he was personable and s real gentleman. A different…
Absolutely awesome! Not only were their prices decent their service was even better. The two young gentlemen who came to us were so polite and professional and they got the job done. We had a few other plumbing companies come to check out the issue they didn't even ask half the information these guys did and they…
James was absolutely amazing. He was informative and honest about the work needing to be done and was incredibly fair when it came to the quote process. I look forward to using him again in the upcoming weeks as I sort through the plumbing issues in my home.
Ryan and Andrew did a great job. Very thorough and efficient. They explained every step and make sure the repair will be permanent. Also showed me how to keep sink drains clean in the future.
James gave us a cost saving solution. Took care of our problem sooner than I expected.
Tyler showed up on time, did a professional diagnosis of the issue, fixed the blockage in my drain, and verified the problem was corrected.
Ryan did an excellent job, very knowledgeable, explained everything he was doing. Awesome.
They were prompt & did a good job!
Travis showed up quickly and did a great job! We're finally able to use our sinks again. Will call again for future service.
I had a bad clog , Cal worked at it until it was clear. Very satisfied !
Stephen was very professional. He explained what needed to be repaired and why. He also gave us additional options for repair and why he recommended it. Stephen also broke down our prices for the repair options. We felt like we got a great repair from a friendly and professional plumber. Thanks
Excellent service, Cals has solved our ongoing plumbing issues. He was thorough and took the time to find the problems and then repair our plumbing. We will always use Call’s plumbing as they are far superior to the other plumbing companies we have used! No comparison!!!
Very nice and professional young man.
Excellent service. Very knowledgeable. Had all the right tools to get it done in one visit. Nick was able to accurately diagnose the problem in an efficient and timely manner. 👏 He got everything working for us. I highly recommend this company and Nick! He knows what he is doing!!
From the office to the plumber, Kenneth Harlan, all were professional, courteous and efficient. I do not live in Tucson but needed a good plumber for a major job at a house I own and rent back to my son. It was a bit stressful finding a good plumber over the phone but when I contacted Cal’s they went above and…
Jacob came out and did the free inspection that you get for having a maintenance contract. He was friendly, knowledgeable, thorough and understanding. I’m pleased with the service and info I got!
Fast and friendly and did a great job!
We had a very good experience! Clear, direct, and no-nonsense. The plumber explained each step in the process.
Called Cal's with an emergence pipe leak at the salon shampoo bowls on a Sat morning and Billy answered and said he was in the neighborhood and could be there in 15 minutes. We had a busy day at the salon and Billy saved the day. Ended up being a total blockage, hair or course. Thanks Billy
They were able to squeeze me in ahead of my appointment and they were successful clearing the drain when others couldn't clear it.
Dan is very friendly and confident. He knows his business, and is quick and efficient.
The thing that I liked best about the service was that there was no sales pitch. They did the work and provided a list of things that we could do in the future to help in the long run. I really appreciated the integrity.
Not only did Cal's Plumbing manage to get someone out the same day to unclog my kitchen sink, but Donovan exceeded my expectations by knowing exactly what needs to be done in the rest of my house. One thing he managed to fix on the spot in a few seconds. I am new to the area, but I found my plumber!
Our plumber, Cal provided excellent information regarding the repair of our soft water system and he scoped our drain for a possible sewer drain backup. In addition, he referred an excellent restoration company for the water damage in our home.
Leiland was great! He helped repair the pipe to our washing machine and got it up and running again. We will definitely be using him again if and when the time comes!
Today I got very lucky, Cal’s plumbing sent Mr Nahrgang to give me an estimate and inspect my bathrooms for new faucets and sink hardware. He was on time, ( early ) called and let me know he was on his way, incredibly professional and knowledgeable and completed his job quickly and throughly. I look forward to…
Very comfortable , easy to talk to and explained options
Jacob is a fantastic and thorough plumber! He's fast and knows what he's doing. Found the clog issue quickly and was able to bust it up and clear the line. Everything is now flowing the way it should. Thank you Jacob and thank you for telling me about toilet replacements for reasonable prices. This is the third…
Ken was prompt and professional. He was friendly and very ok with my 3 dogs who were very excited to meet him! Felt very comfortable with him in my house. He unclogged the bathtub drain and fixed the overflow pipe in less than an hour and had given me the estimate beforehand so there were no surprises. Thank you Ken!
Dan was extremely professional, called ahead to ask about coming out earlier than expected, showed up on time, and was clear in what he intended to do and what it would cost. Very polite, professional and completed work o the clogged drain quickly. Will definitely be asking for Dan again if we have further needs.
Jonathan was Incredible... Professional.. Courteous.. Jonathan had given my husband advice..if it should happen again.. what he would suggest to do.. I.. HIGHLY rate Jonathan a 10! Thank you Jonathan!
Jonathon was fast, friendly and professional. We will call Cal's Plumbing again if we ever need plumbing help
Found the source sewer smell that I'd been trying to resolve for 11 years. So relieved to have my problem solved!
I've used Cal's Plumbing several times over year for a pesky shower drain. They are always great, responsive and super nice! Aways a good experience. Thanks Dan and team. ;)
Dan is very friendly and professional. Got things done quickly.
Excellent service by a well qualified technician. Andrew is professional, personable, and very thorough. We appreciated his honestly and knowledge.
Dan is an exceptional plumber. Very personable which is refreshing! Excellent and thorough, great sense of humor & very patient, he did not rush the job or the explanations for the job. He was respectful of each issue and the property. If all Cal's tech's are like Dan, I highly recommend Cal's. And/or ask for Dan!…
Always come in emergency situations. All have always been friendly and knowledgeable!
Excellent service. Knowledge plumbers. Timely, polite and prompt response. I highly recommend Cal's Plumbing!
Billy will definitely take care of your plumbing problems and make you smile too!! He’s professional, friendly, prompt and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend him.
Great knowledge and service
Called the main office around 11:45 am to let them know that my main line was clogged up. I knew this as my water from the tub was backing up and confirmed it with the neighbor. The dispatcher said it was going to be $79. I let her know that I have roots in the line and to make sure I bring a cutter to go through…
Cleared a sewer line clog. Joe was prompt, pleasant, knowledgeable and took care of the issue very quickly.
I live in an older triplex and my landlords live on the premises, too. With older houses come older pipes and we get slow-downs and clogs probably twice a year or maybe even more. I know my landlord has had Cal's over for other more complicated jobs, and this family-owned company has consistently delivered in…
Andrew came to unclog the laundry room drain and was very nice and professional. He took the time and explained everything he was doing which made me feel comfortable with the service.
We love Cal's! Jonathan was great!
The guys were great. On time, all safety precautions, quick diagnosis, and made quick work of our drain plug. Overall great! Would use them again in a blink.
Quick, professional and personable. Come out in the evening and got the job done. Will use this business again.
I attempted some diy and had to call in the pros for reinforcement. Dan was courteous and fixed my plumbing problem. This will be my go to company from now on.
Leonard was prompt, knowledgeable, and very friendly! He fixed the leak and was on his way!
Cody went over and above our expectations. Excellent service, he is a keeper. From Ajo Veterinary Clinic
Joe did a great job. Cal's is very expensive, but if you want a good job in a hurry, call em up.
I've used Cal's before and will use them again and again! They are super responsive and will do whatever they need to to make sure your plumbing works as it should. Their office staff and professional technicians are AWESOME! I love being able to depend on Cal's for all of my home's plumbing needs.
He was very curtious and got the problem fixed. Nick had to come back out the next day. He must have scared it into working again. Hopefully it will continue to behave.
I had two plumbing companies out to work on a very odd drain issue. I got the idea the first company was not working very hard at getting to the next step which was doubling and tripling the bill. Cal’s was out, gave me worst case scenario and then got to work. Dan and Drew were very professional and didn’t push…
Andrew was prompt, courteous and did a thorough job. The line is running well.
We have used Cal’s Plumbing service for years, their services have always been top notch. Thanks
Leonard was professional, explained each step of the process, cleaned thoroughly after each visit and was very much appreciated during the entire process of repairing my bathroom drains.
I had a tree root in the main drain. Nick came out and took care of it. Very professional and friendly.
On time, professional and timely work practice
