Plumbing reviews in Irvine, California

Jesus came on time and fixed my air conditioner in no time he was very professional and knowledgeable thank you, Kalka !

We are so grateful for the knowledge and expertise given by Jesus as he worked to troubleshoot our cooling system issues. Our home is once again comfortable. His persistence to resolve the challenge is so appreciated.

I'm extremely disappointed with service received from this company. They're authorized to service Kohler steam generators, after spending over $1k in service repairs, the units still isn't functioning. They didn't have the decency to return any of my follow up calls or emails for resolution. They even left the generator in pieces under the house. I would avoid using this company to repair any steam generators.

Zach was on time, entered with booties on feet and determined what was going on with our shower valve. He was able to order the part and returned the next business day to replace. He was cordial and helpful and knew what he was doing. Great job!!

Derek and Jesus are AMAZING! They're so kind amd knowledgeable in their craft. I appreciate Kalka so much for hiring exceptional individuals as Derek and Jesus to service our office. Always a returning customer!

Derek was extremely capable and fixed my issue quickly. He thoroughly explained my issue all through resolution. I am very pleased with his service and will use him again.

Derek did a great job on our Kohler toilet. He fixed all the problems we were having. I highly recommend Derek for diagnosing and solving problems.

Derek did a fantastic job and I now have hot water instantly throughout the house and the water lines are no longer crossed after 20 years!

Daniel from kalka was fantastic! First off he’s super easy to deal with did multiple jobs in one day efficiently And has a very easy demeanor. I was also impressed with his overall knowledge and the way he can explain things for me to be able to interpret. Will use again when needed.

Derek Martinez was our tech and he was on time and very professional. He did a very nice job on our sophisticated Kohler smart toilet. All is good and we are very satisfied. In fact we are signing up for their very affordable PM (preventative maintenance) I think they also do a quick check on all plumbing fixtures in the house at that time too. I personally think this is a no brainer. It assures at least an extra 5+ years of service life from these expensive home systems in our California hard water environment. I know this may sound like a commercial and a staged review but as a retired General Building contractor I assure you this is my honest opinion. It's hard to find good help and I'm glad I found Kelka.

Derek was awesome! He rebuilt the drains for the double vanity in our bathroom and it finally works properly. He was professional, courteous and I would definitely hire him and Kalka again. I even decided to get quotes for other household projects before he left since he did such a good job and the price was reasonable.

Terrible Experience - Avoid at all costs

Back in November 2025, our heater would not turn on so I called Kalka and they sent out a junior technician to look at the issue. He recommended to replace a motherboard since it was "fried" on the outside AC unit. Scheduling the next appointment was a nightmare. We had something in the books so my wife was at home waiting the entire day for the guy to show up but never arrived. No text.. no call..nothing.

I had to personally call the company and let them know they never arrived, they apologized and scheduled me for the following week. He arrived with the part and installed it and the unit was still failing... he didn't know what was going on so they brought out the senior technician to take a look and the bigger issue lied within the furnace in my attic which was going to cost a few grand to fix.

I agreed to get this fixed and was notified the part would arrive in about 3 months or so. So here I am in February excited to get some heating and air conditioning back in our home. I call the office and it turns out they never ordered the part......

I'm flabbergasted at this point because not only did they not order the part but they quoted me a few grand higher than the original estimate.

I've wasted my time and money here. I've paid for a motherboard that didn't resolve anything and waited 3 months for nothing. If you're looking for HVAC service I would not recommend this company. The search continues for an honest contractor...

We had a problem with hydronic system which is more than 30 yrs old in hottest week of year and have a 90 yrs old lady in the house. And the sound the system makes was loud and almost falling apart so it was easy to figure out that it’s not a small problem. I dealt with few other companies past few years, and not every experience was pleasant with plumbing heating air companies. And also systems we have is not really great, it’s connected with associations, sharing boiler etc.
but we needed someone to come out to diagnose the problem. That’s when I saw their sticky flyer from few months ago.
I called, Kevin answered, he booked an appointment right next morning. After that everything went so well!
Technician Jesus and Preston were so professional and good, the ladies in the office were sweet and helpful. We had little trouble shutting down water so couldn’t get it done on the day but they were so patient, and came back two days after to install the new system.
I really appreciate the prompt, professional work and perfect customer service, specially Jesus and Preston.
Thank you Kalka

Derek from Kalka Plumbing did an excellent job in diagnosing the issues with a couple of our toilets. He was able to fix the issue right on the spot and the prices were very reasonable. Kalka Plumbing is my new go to plumber!! I highly recommend them!

Had some issues with my old water heater and I decided to check these guys out! Did not disappoint. Their technician, Derek did a phenomenal job assuring the water heater was installed properly and ran tests to make sure. Super professional company thank you !

Derek is a very professional plumber. I had previously hired other plumbers to repair my Kohler smart toilet, but they came twice and couldn’t fix the problem with very high price. After switching to his company, the first inspection and the second repair went very smoothly, and the issues was completely resolved

I spent quite some time going through my options for toilet installation. I ultimately fell on this company to handle the job because of their good reputation. That reputation was proven to be truly deserved! Derek did an amazing job, absolutely 0 flaws in his work. He took his time but still managed to be quick and efficient. He informatively guided me through the different features of the toilet. Overall, great experience and amazing job.

Super honest, easy to work with. Would call and use again

Joe was great
Know's what he is doing and got it done

Had a backed up toilet Albert came out quick and fixed it in 10 minutes thank you

Excellent customer service the technician showed up earlier and repaired the issue. Definitely recommend to anyone.
