The two plumbers, Scott and Caleb, were on-time, very knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. They explained every option and advised about priorities vs. 'can wait'. They fixed my drainage problem quickly and using the simplest method. They also quote in bundles rather than each job/equipment separately. My daughter has also been pleased with their work.

I appreciate the responsiveness and professionalism of everyone at Proper Plumbing. They were easy to communicate with and schedule (phew!), and did a beautiful job on installing a new bathroom faucet, repairing what we broke trying to DIY, and making my guest bath work perfectly (no more sticking handle and drainage issues!).

Prior Proper Plumbing prevents poo and pee puddles was my first thought when I saw their van in town but in my case it was a poo and pee POND that I developed under my home. Scott came right out, assessed my problem, ordered a hazmat team to remove and sanitize the area and then Clint repaired the broken pipe and made some requested upgrades in the house. They were clean, neat and efficient and let me know what to expect along the way. Very good team.

Awesome & speedy installation of our new water softener system by Scott! He came out a few weeks ago to give us a quote for the project and was also willing to list out various options based on what we wanted. That was a huge factor in choosing Proper Plumbing because they were willing to work with us to tailor the project to our specific needs. We were then able to schedule our preferred date for installment.

Scott is friendly and very knowledgeable, answering the many questions we had about the system since we’re new to water softeners. In addition to the water softener, he also installed new laundry angle stops, a new water regulator, and our water leak detector for us. Amazing job, and I would definitely recommend Scott & Proper Plumbing to others! We and my sensitive skin thank you so much, Scott!!

I had a great experience with Proper Plumbing. Scott came to my home and reviewed all of the plumbing issues I was having in my bathrooms and kitchen. He offered 3 different quotes with different price points based on what I wanted him to complete since some issues weren't as urgent as others. I chose to have him fix everything and I'm so glad I did! The prices were fair, and he even threw in a couple of extras at no charge. He was friendly, efficient, professional and honest. I highly recommend this company!

We had a leak underneath our sink which I attempted to reepair myself with no success. I phoned Proper Plumbing & spoke with Brittany. She was friendly, exceptionally knowledgeable, and was ensured that she asked all needed questions to get the information to our technician.
Scott arrived at our home early the next day, and had our "problem" diagnosed and fixed within minutes. The drain hose from our dishwasher had slipped off the garbage disposal, causing the leak. I was ready to pay my bill, when Scott said "I really didn't repair or replace anything. There's no charge."
My wife and I were shocked, and we both agreed that with ethics like his, Scott now had us as life long customers. Kudos to Scott and as we later found out, his wife Brittany for such exceptional service.

From the estimate through delivery, Scott and his team were phenomenal. We needed our sewer line replaced, and the Proper Plumbing team did fantastic work AND educated us through the process. When we ran into new issues as they began work, Scott took time to talk me through the what and the why and, in many cases, suggested options for me to think through. I didn't feel pressured or upsold at all but his intention was making us happy with the end result.

It was clear from day one that the Proper Plumbing team cared deeply about getting our lives back to normal and minimized complexity wherever possible. I would highly recommend this group to anyone in the San Diego area in need of anything from simple plumbing jobs all the way to large, complex ones.

I interviewed a number of companies before choosing Proper Plumbing but their plan of attack and cost fit what we were looking for the best. 5 stars.

I needed my PRV replaced, and could not get the old one off for the life of me. Monday I called Proper Plumbing and was cheerfully assured by Brittany they could absolutely help me with this small job. As this was not an emergency, she scheduled me for a morning appointment that Thursday. Tuesday she called to let me know they had an opening for this Tuesday afternoon if I wanted it. Once accepted, Scott called immediately to get the details of the job and let me know the process. Within 1/2 hour of our conversation Clint arrived. Clint was extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous, graciously waiting for me to finish up a work call. He quickly assessed the situation, explained my options, and let me decide what I thought was best for my situation. Scott called with my option pricing, and explained the work that would be done. Clint graciously let me take care of the paperwork so I could go back to my work. Everything was completed just as promised, and I could not be more pleased. Thank you all for making this as painless as possible, and double kudos to Clint - I cannot imagine a more pleasant interaction. I will be sure to call Proper Plumbing the next time my DIY project turns out to be more than I can handle on my own. Thanks again!!
Clean, on time, and great service. Will definitely use again!

The first time we called for a service Scott showed up within an hour of calling, he was professional, quick, & very upfront honest. He helped get our lines unplugged easily and walked us through each step of the way. We later found out Scott is the owner which made his service even more great. We have since called for little fixes as simple as a toilet swap. Each time has been quick, reasonable & very friendly.
