The tech was prompt and did excellent work.
Michael Jones
I had solid plumbing & drains come out to make some repairs on the drains for both my toilets and replaced my outdated laundry box that was not working. The techs Emmanuel and Mario were so professional, fast, and knew exactly what the problem was. They even went the extra mile and hooked up my washer and dryer once they finished the repairs. Everything works perfectly now. Solid service, fair pricing, and real attention to detail. I’d highly recommend them.
Elizabeth Hernandez
I needed a plumber to take care of a main line back-up on a Saturday. The team responded promptly, was very professional, and took care of the issue all in one visit. Thank you!
Jennifer French
I had some landscape drain problems. Had one of the TV big company over and they essentially said they needed to bust up my concrete patio etc etc and they would not touch a lateral drain. Got in touch with Mario and had a great conversation with him on the problem. He came over with his crew Emanuel and Angel. Mario diagnosed the issue and created a plan of attack. The main drain line was full of roots but he got them and the issue if FIXED. They were pleasant to deal with, very professional and did a great job. I will definitely go back to them for any further inside or outside plumbing problem! Thank you Mario!
Joe Vaccaro

Nance Lakdawala
Mario and his crew were extremely professional and very thorough during their job. We had sewage back ups and burst pipes and they worked quickly to get the job done. I would 100% recommend Mario to anyone with plumbing concerns.
Brent Teraoka
Solid Company & Drains Representatives reported as scheduled and came with an attitude of getting the job done. They secured their ladder, hopped up in the attic and within 5 minutes Mario had determined the problem. He took pictures of the area and sent them to me on my phone. He explained each photo. Incredible! Additionally, he suggested that I get a specialty company to use special tools to determine if there is additional water damage in the wall area that they could not see. I really appreciated that suggestion. Thanks to Mario and Angel for their professionalism, friendly attitude, and great plumbing skills!

Emmanuel and Angelo are the best team! They showed up at my house in El Cajon within 30 minutes of calling. We had been dealing with this issue for almost a year, and they were the first ones to actually figure it out. They ran a camera down the drain, found the clog right away, cut out the damaged pipe, and replaced everything properly. Great pricing, super professional, and easy to work with. Highly recommend Solid Plumbing & Drains!

i hired Mario and his crew (Emmanuel and Angel) today for a landscape drain issue after turning away one of the big TV companies that essentially refused the work. Mario showed up on time, reasonably diagnosed the issue and made a game plan. In the end he was able to clear the problem! They left the job clean. very professional and job well done! thank you!!!

Mario arrived before he said he would. Pleasant & knowledgeable. Daniel assisted, and they resolved the blockage. Very grateful; highly recommend this company!!!
Linda A.Verified
I had a patio drain that was very sluggish. Mario and Angel came and took 2 hours unblocking a mountain of mud from down the line. They were professional, resourceful using multiple pieces of equipment and persistent working till the blockage finally gave way.They also had to go through my house to get to drain and they were very neat laying down plastic to protect my floors. I am a very happy and highly recommend them.

What San Diego Homeowners Ask About Water Heaters
How do I know if my water heater should be repaired or replaced?
The decision usually comes down to the age and condition of the unit, the type of failure, and whether problems keep returning. We can evaluate your water heater and explain whether repairing it still makes sense or if replacement should be considered.
How long should a water heater last before it needs replacement?
Traditional tank water heaters commonly last around 8–12 years, while tankless systems can often last longer with proper maintenance. Actual lifespan depends on the system, installation, water quality, use, and maintenance history. Rheem
What size water heater does my home need?
The right size depends on your household’s hot-water demand, how many people live in the home, and when hot water is used most heavily. For tank systems, capacity and first-hour rating matter; tankless systems are sized differently based on flow demand.
Is a tankless water heater better than a traditional tank water heater?
Neither option is automatically better for every home. Tank and tankless systems differ in upfront cost, hot-water delivery, space requirements, efficiency, and installation needs, so the right choice depends on your home and how your household uses hot water.
How often should a water heater be maintained?
Regular maintenance can help reduce sediment buildup, catch developing problems, and support reliable performance. The exact maintenance needs depend on the type of water heater and local water conditions, but tank flushing is commonly recommended on a regular basis.
