Desert Water Plumbing has been assisting our business and residence with all our plumbing needs. They are efficient, reliable, professional, and their price is terrific. They folks are real plumbers - not just a turn and burn billboard company with an out state call center.

These guys worked hard all day to get my toilet replaced. The toilet I bought online was defective. They got a replacement and installed it. All this after running their camera all through my sewer line to verify the condition. They are the BEST.

I called Desert Water Plumbing to make some small changes to my exterior hose bibs, and to fix a wobbly toilet. Hose bibs went super fast, as expected, but when the toilet cam up, the tech, Jose, found a rusting, rotted toilet flange. This was unexpected, since the toilet was installed only about 4 years ago.
