See What Our Clients Are Saying About Us


Essential Plumbing was incredibly helpful! Our kitchen sink was clogged and Eli was able to come over within an hour and a half. An added bonus was that he took less than an hour to unclog it!…I was extremely impressed with Eli’s professionalism, punctuality, and efficiency…To say the least, we will definitely make them our first call for our next plumbing issue! Thank you, Eli and Essential Plumbing for running such an efficient business.

Project: Clean Pipes

There are times when 5 Stars are simply not enough. This is one of those times…Visits by other plumbers resulted in various estimates for replacing the unit at a cost varying between $2,000 – $6,000…The wire connecting the heater to the temperature sensor had been cut and reconnected with some bare wire touching the Unit’s inner casing…He respliced the wire appropriately. He was the only plumber – out of many who saw our unit – who had this insight and experience. His professionalism as that of Victor in the office- was outstanding. Not to mention that I didn’t have to throw another $3 grand down the drain…

Project: Stuck fixture

We used Eli when we had a slab leak in our new house. It was stressful and he was so calm and informative that it made it all a lot easier…He doesn’t try to do any work that is not needed or upsell random crap like the big guys…We have used him a few times over now for small things and recommend him to friends…Honest, clean and friendly.

Project: Slab Leak

Eli is a real professional and knows how to do the job right. As a general contractor and a building inspector, I have an eye for detail and a high standard for workmanship. I have no reservations in referring Essential Plumbing to any of my clients for all their plumbing and HVAC solutions.

I can’t say enough good things about this company and the service I receive EVERY time I call. Eli has always been the plumber to respond (I think he’s the owner) and that is just fine by me as he is a consummate professional, clean and polite. I have had my toilets replaced, clogs cleared, damaged copper pipe cut out and replaced, you name it I think I've had Essential Plumbing fix it! They are excellent at getting out to me very quickly after my (always last-minute) calls. The work done is very high quality and very reasonably priced. It’s refreshing to see a company that still values quality, integrity, and treating people right. I have and am sure always will go to Essential Plumbing whenever a plumbing need arises.

Project: Various

Essential Plumbing installed a bathtub and tile for me at a reasonable price, and within the schedule allotted. They were always friendly, courteous, and even made friends with my dog while I was away at work. I really appreciated how before wrapping up each day, they would take the time to clean up after themselves so one wouldn’t know contractors had been in the house. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Essential Plumbing to friends – they are great guys and do expert, professional work.

Project: Install or Replace a Shower

Eli did a fantastic job installing a gas line and water line in my 1923 home. It is evident that he takes considerable pride in his work. Not only did he stick with his stated estimate when the job took longer, but he called the next day to make sure we were pleased with the results. I plan to keep Essential Plumbing as my #1 plumber!
