Thad, Steve and David did a very professional job repairing my hot water slab leak. Great job on a difficult re-routing line. Thank you. Service: Plumbing leak repair

We had a slab leak detected by CPL and was in need of a plumbing company to come out and fix the leak. I was referred to TLC and David came out that evening after work to take a look at everything and go over the various options. The plan they came up with was great and David and Steve did the work and did it well. They protected all of the floors and countertops and were extremely professional and pleasant to work with.

If you need a reliable plumbing company who is going to treat you fairly and give you good value I would highly recommend giving them a call. I will definitely use them again.

Thad is very responsive via phone and always confirms appointment via text afterwards. David has come out a few times for various plumbing issues and is always very pleasant and explains upfront the charges and work that will be done and works efficiently. Prices seem reasonable and no more leaks!

TLC Plumbing is awesome. I reached out to Thad on 2 different jobs and received immediate response. He was on it ASAP. Very professional, great communication, and rates are unbeatable. I even reached out to him for an electrical issue and he referred me to Shaun Woods Electrical who was equally as great! I highly recommend this company!

Terrific experience and great plumbers! We had some non-essential work we needed to get done (install three new sink faucet/handle sets, and replace the angle stops/shut off valves). We got bids from other plumbers, none of which were satisfactory due to price or other reasons. We took a chance with TLC, and they were awesome. David and Steve showed up for an estimate; a little late due to earlier job running long.

They communicated to us they were going to be late, so no problem there. For the actual work, they showed up on time, finished early, and charged us the fair price they had quoted. Very professional, efficient, and followed all the currently necessary safety protocols. Very easy to work with. The next time we need plumbing services; no question we'll use TLC. Highly recommended!

TLC Plumbing did an awesome job on replacing my water heater when I was at work. I knew I could count on them. This is the second, maybe third time I used them. I had used them at my other house about 2 years ago. Since then I have moved. It's a good thing I keep them on my plumber list on my cell. Thanks again Danny for the awesome installation, and military discount Tk

Outstanding work by TLC plumber Dave! He was able clear our clogged main drain in less than 30 minutes. After I attempted to do it myself with a manual snake for nearly 2 hours unsuccessfully, and appearing to make it worse, my wife begged me to call a professional. Very affordable and fair in cost to clear the clog, wish I called sooner

Exceptional and honest service. I wish they had residential services beyond plumbing because I would hire them for all my household repairs.

I'm usually a DYI type of guy, but some jobs call for a professional. Thad really went out of his way to help us out a couple of times now. We live way out in the sticks, and Thad even made an extra trip in advance to make sure he knew how to find our house (a good thing, too). The quality of the work is clearly excellent, and all for a very reasonable price. He will be our go-to plumber for life.

Danny came out on a weekend and bailed me out of a tight spot. He was very helpful and quick with his repairs. He also advised me on a couple of things that didn't look quite right with the plumbing. I appreciated his openness about sharing his knowledge. I will definitely be called TLC for future projects or emergencies.

These guys are the best, awesome customer service and super fast response time. Had a plumber come out same day and did a very professional job. I called TLC for an additional issue I had at a later date unrelated to the first problem, and they had their plumber David personally call and talk me through the entire process which helped be able fix it myself. Couldn't be a bigger fan of this company, keep up the great service guys.

TLC Plumbing is honest, trustworthy, dependable and reliable company. I have used their services twice now and I am more than happy with the quality of their work. David was my plumber. I'm very happy with the quality of his work, his attention to detail and his expertise. TLC says their goal is to fully satisfy their customers from the moment they first answer the phone through completing the job by being prompt, courteous, and responsive to their customer's needs.

Well done TCL. I am very satisfied. David hit all the marks of how they want their customers satisfied. I hope I never have to call a plumber again. but of course I will. and I'll be calling TLC Plumbing!

Horrible service and horrible work! They guys over promise and DON'T deliver. We hired this company to do some new storm drains at our house which wasn't cheap (almost 15k) First, they said they would send 4-5 guys and have the job done in a week. Not true! They showed up with 2 guys for 1 day! The rest of the job they pawed off to 1 guy and the poor guy had to do the whole job by himself which took him almost a month!

They would constantly argue with us and change the plans of the job. Basically, it was a sh%t show! Not to mention, the work was garbage. We had to hire another company to fix they're crappy work. This is a warning to all, DO NOT USE this company. They are a scam!

Had a great experience with Manny. He was extremely professional, skilled, communicative and prompt. Very happy with the work he performed on our water heater and the attitude with which he did it. Highly recommend him. It's tough to find a good, reliable plumber. Manny is it.

Thad was consistent and so professional in his communication. We originally had him (And Steve) coming out to fix a hose bib and low and behold--there was a leak under the house. We are new home owners and we've had some issues already so my poor patience and spirit were crushed. Thad was quick, amazing, we worked out a game plan for the very next day & they took care of business!

He also was really fair in his pricing too seeing as how (for the original call out to us) we shopped around and he was the best! Professional, polite, kind & did a great job. Thanks Thad (and Steve) for helping us with our new house! We're genuinely grateful!

Worst customer service ever. I had a window of arrival confirmed. I understand that windows can change but in this case it was changed without any DIRECT confirmation from me the client. That you call and leave messages but dont actually SPEAK to the client doesnt not equal confirmation that the schedule change is acceptable. I called out the dispatcher regarding this and for some reason she felt it was acceptable to cut me off and talk over me and she feels that i was getting "crazy" with her.

I requested to speak to ANYONE else in the office which she refused to do. If it werent for the fact that my needs are dire I'd be requesting to move this over to some other company. They are a vendor that my property management company uses. Unfortunate as the initial communication went so well.

This team was great! I needed a plumbing inspection on a potential property purchase; David gave me a thorough review and a fair quote. He and Shannon made extra effort to get in touch with me after the inspection and David called me directly to review. He gave me a breakdown for the full scope of work, as well as a genuine "this is better sooner, this is better later." I am so thankful for the clear, concise insight from these experts!

Our hot water heater broke late at night and TLC not only answered but addressed our emergency needs immediately. Their team came out the next morning. Our plumber was very knowledgable and kind throughout the process. We were so impressed with the team, we asked them to look at a broken pipe that we had already had 2 companies assess and give us bids on perviously.

Both companies left us more confused on what needed to be fixed when they left. TLC Plumbing. knew exactly what to do, fixed it efficiently, communicated costs and their approach throughout the process and I can say it's all been functioning perfect since they left. We'll be calling them again in the future and have already recommended them to friends and neighbors.

We had a major issue with the plumbing below and behind our washer and dryer and, Thad and Steve did an amazing job in a.) assessing the problem, b.) devising a plan for addressing the issues, and c.) carrying out the work that was necessary to implement the repairs. The job was very complex and, Thad and Steve had the requisite knowledge and experience to know what methods needed to be employed to rectify the multiple plumbing issues we were experiencing.

Have spoken with many plumbers and appliance "specialists" in the San Diego area and NO ONE had the level of aptitude or willingness to go-the-distance that I witnessed and observed with TLC Plumbing, Inc. As a result of my experience I am highly and strongly recommending their services to anyone that has found themselves tired and frustrated with the many sub-par professionals that claim to be skilled and proficient in this field. Not only was the work great but, it also feels great to support a local family business. Will be using TLC Plumbing Inc. for all future plumbing needs.

I called TLC and someone answered the call she sounded very friendly and courteous. She gave me an appointment between 12-2 pm same day. I received 2 courtesy phone calls for follow up regarding the appointment. The technician named Danny came by to check the leak in our kitchen sink. The kitchen angle stops were loose and needed to be re tightened.

The teflon tape needs to be applied on the pipe. The previous technicians from another company didn't do their job right. Danny also noticed sounds from the bathroom toilet and checked the possible issue. I also noticed the sounds coming from the toilet. It's valid reason to check it. He discovered The toilet flapper needs to be replaced in doing so will save us water bill in the future.

He fixed both kitchen and bathroom problems in less than 1 hour. Danny was fast and efficient. He didn't try to sell anything for upgrades or other business tactics to earn extra money. He focused on the problems. The price of the work is reasonable. I am satisfied with the service. Excellent job and service. I will use TLC for their services again. Thank you! God Bless you.

My experience with TLC Plumbing was awesome! From my first contact with Thad who help me understand my parent's plumbing issue to Bruce who was dispatch quickly was exceptional. I appreciate the friendliness, the honesty, and the professionalism. The genuine concern I had for my elderly parents and the need to work through me was most appreciated!

I recommend this company to anyone with a plumbing need and I will be contacting them for all my parents and my plumbing needs I will also be referring friends. Thank You TLC!

I would highly recommend TLC Plumbing to anyone in the San Diego area! I had a leaking Insta-Hot faucet on my kitchen sink, and TLC was able to send a guy out to my home within just a few hours. Kevin came to our home and fixed it right up, and was very polite! Thank you for providing exceptional customer service! -Jessica

Larry did a thorough job on the leak I had. He explained everything he was doing and why, also showed me the the old supply lines which were crumbling. The job was done quickly and neatly. Also gave us options for another bathroom fix we are hoping to do soon. Very happy with the service!

My 92 year old grandmother has used this company for 15 years, she trusts them and appreciates the service they provide. We both understand that this small family owned company may not be the cheapest, but they do they're work with care for the customer and it is worth it. They truly serve all of San Diego and Jesus.

We were happy with the excellent service received from all the staff involved with this long and complicated project. They always arrived on time each day and keep the entire job site clean and neat. They were in uniform and got to work immediately. We highly recommend TLC plumbing and will certainly call again with any future plumbing needs. 5 stars to TLC plumbing!

For the last 8 years, TLC Plumbing has been the only company my husband and I have called upon, and every single time they come to our home they take care of the problem perfectly. The employees are very kind, and respect my home on the cleanliness I prefer. We will use TLC Plumbing as long as we live in San Diego!

Don't believe all the great press. It is probably friends. As a property manager, I called them up to install a shut of valve for a building and/or fix an existing leak in the sprinkler system. The gardener swore that there wasn't a separate water shut off valve for the sprinkler system and the building. So I called TLC Plumbing to save the day. They charged $945 to replace a couple of valves.

The also charge a $60 fee just to come out and look which of course, was included in the $945. HA HA HA No mention was made concerning billing. I assumed that they would send a bill by email or mail and I would pay. When the job was done, the worker demanded that I pay immediately with cash or credit card. I refused and told them to send me an invoice by email and I would send them a check today.

He called back again and said they couldn't do that. I didn't have credit with them and he wanted to drive to my office to pick up a check. I told him I work out of my home and he was not coming to my home and to email the invoice to me and I would pay it. How unprofessional these people are is incredible. Oh and I still haven't received the invoice.

They are overpriced and unprofessional. I don't know the quality of their work yet. I will add an additional comment after a few weeks when I know if they even fixed the problem. They seem desperate for work.
