    Highly recommended! Faced with a plumbing crisis where the main line was backed up and dirty water was emerging from the shower drain, Real Plumbing promptly sent out their plumber. Raymond arrived within a few hours, quickly identified the issue and provided a temporary solution. He returned a week later to carry out a permanent fix, which required him to dig down and replace a section of the pipe. It was clear that he carried out all the work efficiently and explained the entire process in detail. He seemed to have a thorough understanding of the plumbing issue, unlike a different plumber who had previously misdiagnosed the problem, potentially causing us to spend thousands on an unnecessary repair. Later, Raymond also attended to a non-emergency repair, fixing the backflow preventer for the sprinklers. He was able to conduct the repair the next day, even though I wasn't present. Thankfully, Raymond sent a series of photos documenting the whole repair process, which was very reassuring.

    Raymond from Real Plumbing visited to perform an annual maintenance service on my Navian Tankless Hot Water Heater, which I had neglected for two years. Raymond is an excellent professional, keeping me well-informed throughout his work. This included correcting some valves on my unit that were incorrectly installed upside-down. He took photos, performed a comprehensive descaling, and explained everything as he proceeded. I couldn't be more satisfied with the service I received. I'm not one to usually give out top ratings, but Raymond and his plumbing skills are certainly deserving of it! Highly recommend him for any plumbing needs in Glendale!

    Elias came to our residence and assisted us in identifying and mending a leak in our kitchen drain, which had been caused by a previous renovation project. Elias had to perform a considerable amount of challenging work to reach the leak concealed behind the drywall beneath our sink. Ultimately, he located the leak, figured out what triggered it, and repaired it for us. We are highly satisfied with his work. Elias was punctual, professional, and displayed immense patience in trying to locate the leak, which was not an easy task. We can't express enough how pleased we are with his work and with Elias himself. He demonstrated great professionalism and expertise in his plumbing skills. Furthermore, Elias is a very approachable person and has an excellent personality. We wholeheartedly recommend this plumbing service for any of your plumbing requirements! Thanks, Elias, for a highly professional job and for your assistance!

    I reached out to Real Plumbing based on a recommendation, as we were dealing with problems related to our downspout drainage. After leaving a voicemail, Elias, the owner, responded promptly with a text message. Following a brief text conversation, he assured me that he could visit the next morning at 8am. True to his word, Elias arrived right on time, spent a few hours fixing the problem, and was both friendly and professional. His work was excellent. From now on, I'll never resort to one of those large plumbing firms. Should I ever need plumbing services again, Elias from Real Plumbing will be my first call.

    INCREDIBLE SERVICE! I had a big issue with water backing up into my home. I tried three other plumbers before, spent a lot of money, but the problem never went away. One plumber even suggested breaking up the concrete, which would have cost me $3000. Raymond showed up, took one look, and said it was probably just a clogged drain that could be cleared from outside. He dug down, found the clean out pipe, and discovered a huge tree limb blocking it almost completely. Raymond pulled it out, and the water started flowing right away. This problem had been bothering me for years, but Raymond figured it out in just 10 minutes and fixed everything in half an hour. And all of this happened on a Sunday afternoon! If you need a plumber, I highly recommend Raymond.

    Elias arrived at my residence to repair several worn out bathroom fixtures, one of which was leaking due to a faulty pipe and o-ring. His punctuality, professionalism, and patience with all my inquiries were greatly appreciated. Elias was able to explain the root of my problem and suggested some solutions, offering his expert recommendation. His attention to detail and tidiness stood out. He even addressed some unrelated plumbing issues that came up during his visit, ensuring everything was in good condition. His upfront approach to pricing was a refreshing change from usual experiences. I was glad to have enlisted the services of Real Plumbing for this secondary task when my sump pump failed, years after the initial job.

    The quoted price for relocating my hot water heater was agreeable. It was slightly more than I had anticipated, but the immediate availability of the service seemed to balance it out. The quality of work was commendable. The hot water heater was installed correctly and met all the required codes. An inspector even confirmed and approved the work done. My only minor issue with the service was the split timing of the job. Elias started the work in the morning, then took a three-hour break before returning to finish the job, during which we were left without water. Understandably, this is a common practice among contractors to manage their work schedule, but it can be a tad inconvenient. Regardless, I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again for any future plumbing needs. They would definitely be my first choice. While it's always a hope not to require the services of another plumber or contractor, unpredictable issues do arise.

    I experienced a leak in my well tank, so I reached out to a plumbing service and Raymond was on the scene in a few hours. He managed to provide a temporary fix until the original installer could replace it under warranty. I also employed them to install a vacuum breaker for my underground sprinkling system, which they did at a reasonable cost. A few months down the line, my landscape company accidentally damaged the sewer line to the septic tank. Once again, Raymond was there in no time and had the issue resolved within an hour. The team is fantastic, their pricing is fair and they are always quick to respond!

    Real Plumbing did an outstanding job installing a new tankless water heater, a kitchen faucet, garbage disposal, fresh p-traps under each sink, new sink valves, and even a complete water line repipe. I'm extremely satisfied with their work, the affordability of their services, and their speedy completion. Remarkably, they finished the entire project in a single day. The team of six, including Elias and Raymond, immediately got down to business and assured me that the job would be completed within the day. I was somewhat skeptical considering the enormity of the task, but by the end of the day, they had indeed finished. Their performance exceeded my expectations, and because of their exceptional customer service and competitive quotes, I would wholeheartedly recommend Real Plumbing. They definitely deserve a five-star rating.

    Raymond and Elias from Real Plumbing were simply outstanding. The task at hand was supposed to be a simple unclogging of a bathtub drain. However, it ended up being a full day's work! They got to work early in the morning and didn't pack up until the evening. They diligently worked to identify the root cause of the problem and proceeded to rectify it. They found out that there was a blockage much deeper in the drain than they had initially thought. By the end of the day, not only had they fixed the tub drain, but they had also resolved other issues that had come up. Raymond and Elias were patient, professional, and kept me informed every step of the way. There were no unpleasant surprises and everything is working flawlessly. I can't recommend these plumbers enough! They are now my go-to guys for any plumbing needs in Glendale.

    My experience with Real Plumbing was undoubtedly a 5-star one, especially considering it involved a water main break. The leak that was hidden underground, somewhere between the street and the basement, was causing the sump pump in the basement to work overtime. I reached out to them via their website and got a response within just 10 minutes, which was impressive. Elias, the plumber, advised me on immediate steps to take and what signs to look out for. We scheduled a time for him to come and assess the situation. What made this service exceptional? It was a Sunday morning and I was scheduled to travel out of Glendale the following day. Addressing this leak meant promptly reaching out to city officials to shut off the water, marking the area for excavation, and securing permits swiftly. Elias provided a clear resolution to this problem, along with a fair estimate for different repair options. He performed the job exactly as outlined in the contract. While I was away, he maintained communication and I returned to a completely dry basement. Elias also shared his contractor number which allows me to avoid sales tax on this type of work as it's exclusively for home repairs. This was a first for me. In conclusion, Real Plumbing and Elias deserve nothing less than 5 stars for their outstanding service.

    Raymond, a technician from Real Plumbing, arrived at my home in Glendale to address a leaking sewer line located in the basement of my aged residence. He was the most delightful and meticulous service person I've had the pleasure of hosting. Raymond carefully diagnosed the issue, spending adequate time resolving the problem. His work was excellent, and he made sure to explain each step of the process. I was impressed by his skills and dedication, and should I ever need further plumbing services, Real Plumbing will be the first I contact.

I was thoroughly impressed by their promptness as they managed to fit me in on the very day I reached out. They truly went the extra mile to ensure my plumbing issues were resolved.

    This plumbing service is simply OUTSTANDING. We were faced with a significant slab leak beneath our house and decided to sidestep the issue due to the age of our pipes. After receiving quotes from several notable plumbers, the estimate we got from this team was exactly what our in-depth research suggested the job should cost. Other firms were charging more than twice as much. Raymond was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. They even brought in two other skilled team members, Elias and another, to expedite the process. We had been living without water for nearly a month! The work they executed was professional and neat. It was truly remarkable, no question about it. Much appreciated, guys.

    During a severe cold spell that saw us without power and sub-zero temperatures for a week, I found myself dealing with a frozen pipe leak in my garage. In my attempts to reach out to a couple of other plumbing services I had used before, I couldn't even get through. Out of options, I contacted a friend in real estate who advised me to get in touch with a plumbing service she had often recommended to her clients, who had all been extremely satisfied with their work. I was immediately put at ease when Elias from the plumbing service answered the call and worked tirelessly to arrange for a plumber to come out and address my issue promptly. Raymond and his associate, were not only punctual, but they were also incredibly professional, approachable and communicative in sorting out my problems. They fixed the several water leaks in my garage, situated behind my built-in workbench cabinets, doing so with minimal damage to the walls and in a very timely fashion. They managed to get our water supply back up and running, after it had been off for a number of days, and charged a very reasonable price for their work. I wouldn't think twice about strongly recommending this plumbing service to all of my friends and I will exclusively use them and Raymond for all of my future plumbing requirements. Excellent job, guys! I appreciate it.

    We switched out four old base-board heaters for new, high-output ones and repaired a pesky, minor drip/leak on a copper pipe in our basement with the help of Real Plumbing. Raymond was swift in providing us with a quote, promptly scheduled us in to get the job done, and fulfilled what was promised. He was respectful, friendly, and worked with efficiency. Elias also made sure to tidy up any mess that was created during the process. I would absolutely recommend their services. They were professional and polite, setting a standard I wish all plumbing services in Glendale could match.

    Kudos to Real Plumbing in Glendale! Literally, within a few hours of asking for help, Elias, a leak detection expert was at my house, arranging for the appropriate specialist to handle the leak - at no cost for this visit. Enter Raymond, who skillfully fixed the root of the issue in no time. His professionalism, competency, and excellent communication made it a very positive experience. There was no surge pricing for this emergency. Real Plumbing will now be my go-to for all my plumbing needs. They are also a well-organized one-stop shop for water damage restoration.

    Recently, Raymond and Elias came to my Glendale home to fix a burst pipe attached to my outdoor water spigot. They were both polite and extremely professional. Raymond let me know that the spigot needed replacing and that they would use copper piping for the job. He also recommended installing a shut-off valve to prevent this issue from recurring. I appreciated his advice and asked him to do the same for my front spigot. They finished the job in just over two hours, and the cost was very reasonable compared to my experiences with other plumbers in the past. I would strongly recommend their plumbing services!

    Our water heater suddenly stopped working and we urgently needed a fix. Real Plumbing promptly responded, assessed the issue, and concluded that a replacement was necessary. An appointment was set for the following morning and Elias arrived with our new water heater. He successfully installed it within an hour and now we have hot water again. The efficient and polite service we received at every stage of this process was commendable. We appreciate the way Raymond, Elias and the rest of the team at Real Plumbing attended to our needs. We are truly grateful. Thank you!

    Our gas was turned off due to a minor leak. I sought estimates from four certified plumbers skilled in gas work. Elias from Real Plumbing was extremely experienced and detailed in his explanation, offering a competitive quote. He promptly arranged for a team member to commence work and clearly explained why the job would involve more than just a simple leak repair. The two plumbers from Real Plumbing who attended to our home were both exceptionally professional and friendly. Once the job was finished, they efficiently organized for an inspector to verify their work, and immediately forwarded the necessary documents for review. Despite warnings that the approval process could be lengthy, Elias and Raymond somehow expedited the approval in record time. We're now just waiting for the final inspection before our gas is restored. Their efficient and effective service has left us extremely satisfied.

    I reached out to Real Plumbing due to a problem with our washer's drain. Elias arrived and dedicated a few hours to clearing the clog. Although it couldn’t be fixed right away, he provided a great alternative solution. A few days later, he returned to complete the job. It turned out that the drain pipe led to concrete, which was an oversight by the previous homeowners. Just a few hours later, our washer was working perfectly again. Elias was efficient, courteous, and extremely helpful. I really valued his problem-solving skills and transparent pricing. I would certainly call on him again!
