"Carini installed my mini splits a few years ago and promised me the world with their warranties. Well, turns out they botched something during the install and all of the refrigerant leaked out. They want $2,200 to refill and re-pressurize the line. Since they cross-threaded the screw that led to the leak during installation, this should be covered under the "Lifetime Craftsmanship" guarantee. Instead, they're trying to charging me a full day of labor to fix their mistake. Support on this issue has been dismal. It's been 16 days since they first diagnosed the problem and I still don't have a timeline for when this will get fixed. I chose Carini because of their warranties and their service record, but its all smoke and mirrors. You've been warned."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"Arturo from MC Plumbing replaced our water heater today on extremely short notice. Yesterday he re-lit the pilot light on the old WH which had sprung a leak. He was prompt, professional, and very reasonably priced. I will certainly call him with any future plumbing needs. I recommend AMC Plumbing and Mr Campos very highly."

"Excellent plumber. He’s exactly the kind of plumber you hope to find who is knowledgeable, honest, and genuinely easy to work with. I had a shower cartridge issue that another company (you can find which one in my other reviews) tried to turn into a major, $1500 expensive repair. Long took one look at it, explained clearly what was going on, and never once tried to upsell or overcomplicate things. He told me there was no reason that company should have tried to upsell me like that for a simple job. He was upfront, calm, and confident in a way that immediately put me at ease. What really stood out was how straightforward and practical he was. He handled what was described to me as a “difficult” job with no drama, fixed it efficiently, double-checked everything, and made sure there were no leaks before leaving. He even took care of a second shower while he was there, all for a price that was well, well below what others were quoting. Beyond the technical work, you get the sense that L"

"We had a great experience with Billie from Lulu’s Plumbing. He really knows the plumbing business, all the new codes and he explains things for clear understanding. He was very nice and was right on time. Also was neat and left a clean area. I will definitely use him again or recommend to a friend. Randy Weaver April 2026"

"Every year in Spring we have our air conditioner serviced. This last Spring, Anderson Plumbing came out and did the service. At the same time saying that our heater was needing a new part and shutting that system down. Last week Anderson came out to look at the heater. Said it needed a ?minor? repair for $700. We had someone else come out today for a second opinion. He was from Evo Air. He looked at everything, nothing wrong at all!! Turned the system back on and everything works fine. That is what honestly and integrity looks like! Completely a free visit. Again, NOTHING AT ALL wrong!! $700 could have been wasted on a scam by Anderson. "
