I gave Elite rooter plumbing a call around 4pm to ask about doing a quote for a sewage leak that my HOA is refusing to accept as their responsibility, and the sent out a plumber in less than an hour!

Aaron, the plumber rep the sent was very knowledgeable and provided a reasonable flat fee quote on the spot. He even said he could come back to fix the problem the next day. The same job, another plumber stated it would be a 2 person job that would take over 4 hours. Aaron said he could do it by himself.

Elite provides awesome reasonable pro services! Recommend for all your plumbing emergencies

James. Aaron and Steve are an awesome Trio. James is a specialist in customer service. Aaron is the expert at plumbing. He was very helpful and on point with identifying issues, that frankly, other licensed plumbers could not pinpoint. Steve and Aaron were able to immediately hone in on a problem I had with water from the upstairs tub dripping down to the bottom floor. It was devastating to have that situation, and scary. However, I felt relieved to know exactly what the issues were. James was right. Aaron is a top notch plumber. They dont recommend half stepping or providing frivolous services. They are not only very professional, but pleasant and personable. I wanted to invite them to the family cookout, lol. I know that wouldn’t be professional of me. So I kept that to myself. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this company and specifically, this team. Thank you for your time and services.

Man plumbing issues are no joke and I literally feel like I won the lottery with Elite Rooter. I went through all the feelings of how much is this gonna cost me? Where am I gonna take a shit? My daughter doesn’t like public restrooms where is she gonna take a shit? Who gonna do the job right and not rip me off? Who can I trust?

God works in mysterious ways and he sent me Aaron from Elite Rooter. This dude came out and immediately made me feel at ease. He busted out the heavy duty plunger and reassured me they would get to the problem. When that didn’t work, they sent down the camera and diagnosed the issue as likely being a root problem.

I’ve heard of jobs like this costing as much as it would to buy a new car. But because these men appeared genuine my wife and I said “let’s do it.”

I couldn’t ask for more with Aaron, Jerome, and Omar. These dudes are the nicest, coolest, most hard working plumbing technicians you will ever meet. They dug, cut, reinstated, back filled all in a super professional manner. Their work was so clean, the average person would not even be able to tell there was a huge hole in our front yard where two grown ass men were just working. On top of that, you get a 25 year warranty!!! I don’t know if any other place even offers that. The piece of mind these guys gave us is priceless. Thank you so much for all your hard work. If you have any kind of plumbing issue, call Elite Rooter stat. You will not be disappointed.

This review is a little late as I just got back from being out of the country. I have used Elite Plumbing a few times and have referred the company to friends and family. I have had success with them in the past. The issue this time was a sewer and water re-pipe. A plan was agreed upon with the project manager prior to the start of the project. From day one, there was miscommunication between the project lead and the workers which I had to continually stop and ask them to call the lead. Work was not completed per the original agreement. The completion of the project was continually delayed and for a week I was told every day it would be completed that day. The crew was late anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 ½ hours. Calls and texts went unanswered. When escalated to the manager after waiting 3 hours for an ETA, the project manager actually laughed at me because I was so mad. They previously leveled the yard and replaced the turf as close to original as possible. This time, the area was not leveled, and the turf was not tacked down. Numerous issues were escalated but eventually resolved and the invoice was paid in full within 15 minutes of receiving the final invoice. However, 2 days prior to leaving the country, I received a notice from a lien company on behalf of Elite Plumbing for an outstanding balance. I made calls to the company requesting to talk to the manager that have to date gone unanswered by the manager. The manager did have her assistant call me to let me know I did not have an outstanding balance, and this is standard procedure but could not clarify what the standard procedure was when there was no outstanding balance. I still have not received a call from the manager to my questions why my personal information was given to another company without my authorization and no breach of contract.

Elite Rooter had no problem coming to my home when I called last minute with an emergency. Everyone is so nice and accommodating. Donovan, the technician, was so polite and professional. He was at our house within 45 minutes of my call. I had waited 5 hours for Rescue Rooter to show up for a scheduled appointment, but they canceled one hour before they were due. Elite Rooter is definitely the only plumber that we will be calling for all of our plumbing needs. They are also less expensive than other plumbers that I have dealt with in the past. Elite Rooter also gave us a discount for my husband’s 20 years of military service. Elite Rooter is the best. Give them a call!

Would definitely NOT recommend this service. We called for a clogged drain, a service person was sent over (never mentioned his name and wasn’t wearing a name tag) and was incredibly rude. He tried to tell us that our garbage disposal was broken (which would cost much more to repair). Our usual plumber came later that day and confirmed that the garbage disposal was, in fact, NOT broken. If that wasn’t enough, he decided to insert himself into a private discussion with our neighbor and offered his “legal advice”. Completely inappropriate and unprofessional.

Aaron from Elite Rooter came out to my mother-in-laws to diagnose a catastrophic situation in her granny flat. Nothing in the house was draining to the sewer either, so she had to move out for a couple days. Turns out the mainline had degraded to the point of failure, causing a BAD backup. Aaron, and his co-worker Jerome jumped right on it, dug it out, replaced the old cast iron pipe, and she was back in the house in no time. I appreciate the care they took of the property, and the way they worked with the access they had. Thanks from grandma in OB!

We had something stuck on the garbage disposal gears and Steven solved it pretty quick. He was so nice and happy, I had just called a couple hours before and he came quick. Only thing I wished I knew beforehand was that they do have a minimum charge if they solve your issue ($120). I didn't have a problem with it but the person on the phone said it was free for them to come and they will give me an estimate before any work is done. So since mine was so quick he tried to fix it right there and they were able to charge less.

This company is awful. They showed up two hours early with no call. I already knew what need to be done, however the service person would not listen to me. Wanted to check under my house, wanted to take pictures for a charge. Did not want to snake my drain, wanted to charge me $1,350.00 to do a power drain wash from my roof. When I advised I did want there service and to leave they argued with me for 10 minutes. I had to call a family member for help. I had to have another plumber come the next day, did the snake and now my drains work great. I am a senior citizen and fell they were trying to me a service I did need. Would not recommend this company.

Do yourself a favor and call another plumber right now. Seriously get at least one other quote before you let Elite Rooter onsite to do any work on your property. Also, make sure you get explicit terms in writing. They make big promises and then try to get you to take out loans to cover work they said insurance would cover. Their bids are usually a third more than you’ll pay another licensed and reputable plumber. Trust me, it pays to be patient.
Elite Rooter is notorious for hiring unlicensed plumbers, which is legal in California but contrary to claims on their website. However, they also hire completely untrained people and send them out into the field to work on your home. Unless you know something about plumbing and intend to sit there and watch them as they work, be very careful about hiring this company to perform anything more than a simple drain clog removal.
The job they recently did at my home cost over $10k (originally priced at almost $16k) and there were so many CA code violations and erroneously installed pipes (wrong angle, too steep an angle or simply unglued pipes buried and covered with newly poured concrete) that my contractor couldn’t put our house back together without redoing the entire job. In the meantime, Elite Rooter is telling me they won’t refund my money because they gave me a discount. You do that math…
Just a few photos of their shoddy work:
- Vanity sink drain sticks out past where drywall should be set.
- Water bottle shoved in an old tub drainpipe that was still connected to the main drain leading out of the house; this would’ve been a nightmare scenario had it backed up before we discovered it.
- Uncapped pipes at dirt level with dirt filling pipe.

Elite Rooter came out to my house because I had a stopped up sink. I was thinking since it was still under warranty that it would be a free service. I was told since I had cast-iron pipe and they couldn’t find the problem after running 50 feet of camera they would have to run pipe from my kitchen sink to an outlet (approximately 14 ‘). They would have to cut up my exterior wall and they would cut up my patio to run the pipe in the ground and they would also install a pump that would cost approximately $8000. I opt for the lesser amount of $4700 not to cut up my concrete for the length of the pipe and they could run it on top of the concrete. But they cut up a Square to install a pump, placed it in the ground, covered it with board and gravel and plugged in the electrical cords (2) through the stucco wall into the socket where my garbage disposal is plugged into under the kitchen sink . The next day I turned on the switch to my garbage disposal, and it came on for one second and turned off. I thought since it was old, it probably just wore out. While installing a new garbage disposal, I heard the motor of the pump running. I thought that was strange because I haven’t been running my sink for a day because my garbage disposal was no longer working. I called Elite Rooter to let them know about the pump running. No tech was available to talk to so I requested a call back with my concern. Monday came and I had not received a call back. I called the manufacture of the pump. They told me it was a above ground pump and should not be installed in the ground, and that it should be protected from weather and typically installed under a kitchen sink or protective cabinet if it were to be outside. The cords had been plugged into the outlet incorrectly and the pump had been running 24 hours a day. I unplugged the pump cord and the floater cord and was told by the manufacturer that Elite Rooter did the installation incorrectly. Elite Rooter had my garbage disposal plugged in a piggyback, three prong plug that was part of the floater plug causing it to go out even with the new garbage disposal. Several days later someone came out from Elite Rooter told me they checked my invoice said it was ok to be installed in the ground. I let him know that I have unplugged the pump since last week I’m concerned that it could overheat and cause a fire. He uncovered the pump from the gravel and board and said they would call me later that day. No callback. It has been a full day and a half. I haven’t heard a word. But they have my money and I feel that since they have my money I am now longer a priority or concern. They will get to me when they can. I want a refund they can take their pump and I will call another plumbing company. I would not recommend Elite Rooter. They assured me that everything would be fine the day they came out to give me my estimate and collect my down payment. They said they would take care of me.
