Danny5/5

We got multiple quotes for a new gas line to our backyard BBQ and fire pit, and Art’s Plumbing stood out from the beginning. Art not only gave us the best price, but he also took the time to really assess the job and figure out the best route for the new gas line.

The installation came out great and the quality of the work was excellent. Overall, we had a great experience and Art will definitely be my go-to plumber for any future plumbing work. Highly recommend!

Justin5/5

Finally a plumber worth a dang. Thanks for fixing the issue.

Maricela5/5

Had a slab leak, art abandoned the old line and re routed a new one. Clean and professional.

Luis5/5

Called Art's Plumbing on a weekend, he came out and cleared my sewer line , pulled a bunch of roots, and made sure everything was flowing, great customer service 10/10

Hungry5/5

“I can’t say enough good things about Art and his plumbing services! I recently visited my aunt in San Diego California and she had a massive issue with her home’s plumbing system—a problem that left me completely overwhelmed when I saw it. Water was leaking everywhere, and I was panicking, unsure of what to do.

That’s when I called Art, His extensive knowledge and calm demeanor instantly put me at ease. He arrived at my house promptly, diagnosed the problem within minutes, and got to work right away.

Not only did he fix the issue quickly, but he also took the time to explain to my aunt what went wrong and how to prevent it in the future. It’s clear that his years of teaching and hands-on experience have made him a true expert in his field.

What I appreciated most was his professionalism and genuine concern for my aunt’s home’s well-being. He didn’t just treat it as another job; he treated it like it was his own house. If you’re looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and kind-hearted plumber, look no further. I’m so grateful for the incredible service Art’s plumbing provided!”

Will recommend!

Jesus5/5

Art's Plumbing and Drains replaced my 100 gallon water heater and hauled away the old one. His work was quick, clean and efficient!

Luis1/5

Please look elsewhere first. There was excuses as to why he couldn’t come at the beginning. I’m understanding so I wasnt to concerned. We finally set up an appointment, day comes, tells me a time 2 hours past the time he was supposed to come by without any updates. I end up cancelling.

Thank you, sir!

A1/5

Art is not trustworthy and is definitely not reliable.
The issue here is not the inferior quality of his work but he's not to be trusted. Be careful with your money: Do not pay him before he finishes all of the work you have hired him to do.
In my case he stood me up five times, every time he promises to finish the work which he was paid for and had already signed a document that he will install a fixture but once he received the full payment, he never came back and is not answering his phone. I ended up paying another plumber to finish the work and install the unit that Art was already paid for.
I intend to take Art to court very soon.
