Recently, I needed to have a toilet AND a garbage disposal replaced, so I contacted John Padilla Plumbing, as my previous plumber had not quite met my expectations. The plumber assigned to the project (Brandon) was very cordial and professional, and he thoroughly explained what needed to be done. Repairs were completed in a timely manner, and he made sure the bathroom and kitchen were clean before leaving. I was impressed by how quickly he accomplished the repairs and replacements, and how thorough he was in making sure that everything was working properly. I am very pleased with the work that was done and the professionalism of John Padilla Plumbing employees. I highly recommend their service!

Due to previous experiences, I have been too cautious every time I have to get some work done on my property but John Padilla Plumbing Sewer and Drains made me so confident to work with them after seeing how excellent their services are and the quality of work done. They went above and beyond my expectations.
Additionally, Adam Washousky was very helpful and receptive to all my concerns. He made me feel I was in good hands.

DJ was able to come to our aid quickly when we had a pipe burst in our backyard. He was quick about deducing the issue and efficient about going to the store and purchasing the parts he needed. He was also very professional and knowledgeable when fixing/replacing our pipe. Im very glad we decided on using this company. DJ also made the extra effort to get underneath our house to work in the crawl space so that he would not do any damage to our stucco for the repair. Thanks DJ!

Chris came to my house today to check a leak that I found a couple of days before. After many different quotes from different companies, I found this company to be the most honest. Chris told me that if this was an active leak then the spot would be growing. Instead he mentioned that it may be structural.( Which someone is coming to look at today.) Also the pricing for opening my wall and checking out the leak was more affordable than others. I would recommend this company and use them in the future.

I had a very good experience with John Padilla Plumbing for installation of a tankless hot water heater. Brandon provided us with an estimate and discussed implementation and maintenance. The installation crew, headed by Jose Ponce arrived as scheduled, completed the job, and left my home just as they found it. Jose made himself available to answer my questions. Having the job meet Coronado's permitting requirements can be challenging. Whatever the issue, Beandon resolved and worked with inspectors to close out permit. The staff at John Padilla were always polite, and worked together to get the job done.

I had John Padilla plumbing for their yearly maintenance given for free to members. They had a great and respectful employee, Jalen Lewis, come work on my water heater(Drain and purge sediment) and a 25foot cleaning of any drain. I chose one of shower drains. He was efficient, effective and polite. Very pleased with the service.

It started with a clogged garbage disposal pipe, which required immediate care of a plumber. I googled and landed on 4.8 stars for John Padilla company. I called the office first thing in the morning and a nice lady scheduled an appointment for the same day. Jalen was friendly and professional. He got right into work. He fixed the issue and left everything clean and working. He pointed at a potential problem and suggested looking into the pipe using a camera. The next day Johnny came, using the camera on the tip of the snick, he showed and explained the issue - the sewer pipe was deformed during the years, the result an underground pool... This , he explained, if not treated, would back into the house. We decided to start right away.
On the next morning a crew of 3 workers started. They worked cleanly, explaining every step ,giving us a detailed explanation backed with pictures from the site. Three days and every is fixed. With 5 year warranty. We would like to thank each one of the workers for a professional ,hard and clean work. Excellent work, fair price, freindly workers and 5 star service. Highly recommended.

Sam Balladares was affable, capable and thorough reviewing membership details before he looked at our tankless water heater and gave us an estimate for annual descaling. After we asked a few questions, he gave us our estimate and we accepted the cost as we expected it would be more than we have been paying yearly since 2022. He also performed whole house inspections including all three bathrooms along with water quality and pressure regulator testing. We were impressed with his courtesy and excellent manners.

John Padilla plumbing is awesome. We had some plumbing issues with our drains caused by a prior contractor, but it was no problem for John Padilla's team to get everything back in order. Brandon did a great job quoting us for the work and explaining our options for what needed to be done. The very next day Anthony & Dereck came and solved all of our problems. These guys were all easy to work with and did excellent work. We will be using them in the future for any plumbing needs.

Top tier professionalism. Kind, informative and honest. The team Micheal and Alejandro gave us numerous options for our plumbing issue and explained the process and answered all of our questions. My wife and I felt the team truly cared and was looking out for our best interest and needs. I am sure they could have convinced us to elect additional possible services but they were very clear with what we needed and didnt try to over sell us on service. Highly recommend this team if you are looking for a company with integrity and know how.

We had a running toilet. Our plumber, Lendale, diagnosed the issue quickly and suggested a complete replacement since it would cost around the same as replacing all the internal parts. He came back the next day and even picked up the toilet for us from Home Depot. He completed the install in an hour despite some issues with the previous seal. He is also gave us honest advice on fixing our other toilets in our home. I will 100% call Padilla Plumbing again and ask for Lendale.

I've used John Padilla Plumbing for a lot of routine preventative maintenance and have always been satisfied with the quality of their work and their level of professionalism. They recently came out to replace a faulty tankless water heater and install a series of pressure regulator valves at my house. The technician that came out, Brandon Buss, was incredible. He was very knowledgeable, answered all of my questions, and worked thoroughly and efficiently. It was obvious that he took pride in his work and I will request Brandon for any future work that I need!
