Definitely a 5 star experience. I had another guy install my kitchen drain lines in my Vallejo home and it never worked correctly. George explained the various problems that it had and gave me options to take care of them one by one. I didn't go with every recommendation but now I understand why I was having those…

I found Lifesaver Plumbing on Yelp when I had a leak in my shower. George called back right away and scheduled a time to come over to fix the leak. The job turned out to be a little more difficult than I realized due to very old fixtures and pipes. George did a full diagnostic review of the pipes and faucets in and…

Jim was great,! Very professional and knowledgeable and helped us a lot, . We will be calling him again. I was scheduled for Wednesday, but Jim finished his previous job early today, came right over and was very accommodating. He knew just what to do and with my belonging to their service plan, gave me a great deal. Thanks Jim.

George was very helpful. What I thought was a leak wasn't. Could have been very expensive otherwise. He checked all my pipes to make sure everything else was in order. I signed up for the $99 annual preferred customer program because this is an older home and I know I will need help in the future. Gives me 15% off. He did not charge me for the visit today.

We highly recommend George and his Lifesaver team. His knowledge and skill allowed them to immediately undertake an extremely difficult job of replacing the plumbing in our 100+ year old home. They came fully stocked and were able to provide us with fast, complete and excellent service. He and his team were on site…

Woke up Sat morning to a pool of water in my kitchen. George came out within 30 mins and diagnosed the issue as a leaky fridge hose. Even better he told me how to fix it myself without charging me! Thanks George! Highly recommend 👍
