So many GREAT things about Ability... but the personal, real, down to earth service is truly some of the best Ive ever known (& my standards are high). We were given instant undivided attn straight from the top. Michael (owner), Tim, Joel & Laura all helped us feel calm & taken care of. Not only did they easily handle our new Toliet/Supply pick up, they even did extras like finally fixing our pesky loose sink faucet! A++ ALL AROUND!! Michael runs his company with the spirit of excellence, customer first mission & a family spirit. They all communicated promptly, clearly & safely to help us. Its fantastic to find a contractor who is definitely on your side! DONT HESITATE TO CALL THEM FOR ANY NEEDS! They are the best Ive known!! Kept us CALM & CARED FOR during a stressful time: FIXED IT ALL ~ EVEN BETTER THAN BEFORE!

We did a full house pipe relining. After nearly 60 years, the underground cast iron waste lines had reached the end of the their life. Being in the concrete slab, that might have meant trenching through the house. After some research, I learned that relining was the best way to go. I had three different companies take a look and decided that these guys are the best. The techs showed us on camera where there were breaks in the pipes and where some sections had completely eroded away. The owner, Mike, worked with us to make sure it was affordable and something we could handle on our schedule. Zach, Kevan, and (Im sorry I dont remember his name) did the work. They explained everything every step of the way, showed us the videos, etc. They were super nice guys, respectful of our time (my wife and I are both working from home), were super clean in everything they did, and inspired confidence all around.Yeah, this is not the sexiest way to spend money on your house and you dont really see the result because its underground.But if it needs to be done, you can rest easy knowing it was done correctly and will last for many years to come.Highly recommend Ability.

From the moment I met Michael, I knew he was good peoples and his team brought the same energy!Danny, Trent, Miguel and Zach all went above and beyond to complete the job. These guys were working outside from 8 am-3-5 pm daily during the hottest week so far this summer and their jovial personalities didnt waver for a second!Overall, the entire service was affordable, reliable and efficiently done; most importantly we feel confident our system is good for decades to come.Thank you guys!

Ive used Ability Plumbing for the past 4 years on many different jobs, from moving gas and water lines, cleaning a clogged line to installing a tankless water heater. They are always on time and are super clean. Theyve cleaned their mess up and dont leave trash laying around like a prior plumber Ive used in the past. Michael and his crew have never let me down. Ill keep using them, because I know im.getting the very best.

The communication system they use is excellent, with punctual arrivals, clear explanations of steps, daily recaps, and thorough daily cleanup.Zack and crew were professional and had integrity in their work all throughout the job including daily clean up.

I used Ability Plumbing for the first time today. I had a bit of an emergency. First, the phone receptionist was wonderful. She was able to have Jordan arrive about an hour after we talked. Jordan was amazing! He analyzed the job and went to work. He fixed the problem. Best of all he did a fabulous clean up. It was a messy job outside. I will definitely call this company again.

Review 8 (2024-05-02 - Rating: 5)
Ability provided great service when I was in a pinch and had a leaking water heater. They were able to get a tech out to my home same day I called. Jordan was professional and courteous. He did an excellent job installing a new water heater. Would highly recommend!

The Ability team was great. Relined the entire house (1960s cast iron). Super efficient and communicative.

The plumber did a great job and the company fit us in. Highly recommended them.

Review 11 (2024-06-25 - Rating: 5)
Jordan came out today to help clear a drain that was backing up & flooding my garage. He was thorough, explaining each step he would take. As of now, my washing machine and kitchen sink are draining without issue.

I couldn’t be happier with the two technicians that came to my home. They were prompt, courteous, professional and extremely patient. When they needed additional input on the issue, the owner of the company actually showed up to my home after they called. I would highly recommend Ability Plumbing!

Ability Plum Jordan customer service and technicians. We had Ability Plumbing come out and do a HUGE job fixing our waterline from the main into our condo. They were so courteous and quick! They texted us a picture and phone number of the technician who came out and when they would arrive. The job they did involved cutting out the cement, digging out all the old piping, and replacing it with new. The next day they had the cement company out to close it all up. They made it very easy for us and got our water flowing in the same day! Michael and Jordan rocked it! Thank you Ability!

I have used Mike for at least several years. He’s very professional, explains everything clearly and is honest. His pricing is good and his service is excellent as well as the products he offers. He installed a new tankless water heater. I have always been happy with his services. I highly recommend him.

Jordan and Tim did a wonderful job. I called them to Hydrojet my property for preventative maintenance. Thank you for your great customer service. I will call them again when I need services performed.

Ability Plumbing did a great job. I also like to support local family businesses. They were on time, upfront with the costs, very clean, and good communication on explaining the work that needed to be done as well as advice on how to maintain good pipes to avoid problems in the future.

Ability Plumbing was recommended to us by our plumber in the Inland Empire. I really appreciated the updates with pictures of the tech prior to arrival, and text when they were completed. They were prompt, courteous, clear in their explanation of the issue and options, and did the job right!

Very professional! I had a great first experience with Ability Plumbing. I have a slipper tub leaking due to rambunctious bathers (grandchildren). The pipe connecting to the drain had come unattached. When I called because it wasnt an emergency, I received a time that was a day away. (When an appointment opened up earlier, they called me to offer an earlier appointment, but I stayed with my original time.).I was texted a photo of the technician coming to my home before the appointment. Upon arrival, he introduced himself and immediately put booties over his shoes. He thoroughly explained what needed to be done, had the required part on his truck, and made the repair within the hour. Polite, Professional, Efficient, and Effective visit! Thank you! Ability Plumbing will be my next choice when I need services again.

Ability Plumbing is the best. Jordan came out and quickly assessed that the garbage disposal was old and locked up and was causing the dishwasher to back up. Resolved everything with a new disposal.

Very quick and effective work! Very professional and reasonably priced! 10/10 recommend!

Review 22 (2023-10-04 - Rating: 5)
Each time our HOA has called Ability Plumbing to fix a plumbing problem, it’s done right the first time! I tease Mike for being our “unicorn” because he can always find the leaky culprits. His employees are professional and clean up the work area before leaving.

Review 23 (2023-07-11 - Rating: 5)
Laura in the office was wonderful in getting Michael out to our emergency back up. Michael had us back up... not backed-up... and running in less than an hour. At a reasonable price.My new plumbing company for sure!

Review 24 (2023-09-23 - Rating: 5)
Angle stops under my sink were stuck. Another company came by and quoted me $450 to replace them (they didn’t want to attempt to force them shut with the water on). Tim from Ability came and was familiar with the style of stop I have. He shut them at no cost to me.

Tim Merrill did everything in his power to fix a shower leak. The valve was just too corroded to repair. He tried several times to reseat the valve. Tim was very nice to work with. Ability will have to install a new valve.

Michael and his team saved us today!! I was stood up by another company and he came through and took care of a major clog. Our toilets and bath tubs were full and he was able to quickly and efficiently take care of the problem. He’s professional, has the right tools and knows what he’s doing it shows. Excellent work and I’ll certainly be using Ability Plumbing again. Thank you guys!!
