For several weeks the water coming out of my sinks were grayish in color and the water in the toilets were almost black. I had several people look at it, but they didn't agree on what was causing it until I called California Plumbing, which I found listed on Thumbtack. I called them and they sent out their best plumber, Chico Mancinas, to look at it. In less than an hour Chico was at my door. He took one look at the color of the water in my upstairs toilet bowl and he knew what the problem was that I was having; not only with the colored water but also the low water pressure I was experiencing intermittently in my shower. Chico was very personable, and more importantly very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the cause of the problem and to answer my questions. He made reasonable fixes and didn't pressure me into expensive fixes. I appreciated his honesty. I recommend him to others and I plan to use him in the future. J Pancirer

I was grateful for the excellent services provided and wanted to commend your service members and professional business practices.Your company was recommended when I made an inquiry on Thumbtack. I was contacted within a few minutes by Haley who offered me a next day two hour window appointment which I accepted, but I was delighted when she called back to offer a same day appointment. I was sent a text with the plumber’s photo, name and anticipated arrival time. Jonas proceeded to put protective booties over his shoes before entering my home, was professional yet friendly throughout the service call. He assessed my toilet and kitchen sink issues, offered recommended solutions, alternatives and pricing. The jobs were completed to my full satisfaction and I would definitely request his help with any future plumbing project!

I woke up to find both sinks in master bath filled with water. Used Thumbtack to solicit plumbers . California plumbers contacted me immediately and Chico arrived that afternoon to help. A totally competent, knowledgeable and helpful professional, he explained what needed to be done and why. Sinks are unclgged and all is well. I highly recommend California Plumbers and Chico.
