I recently called 4 Star Plumbing to investigate some concerning gurgling sounds coming from my drains. They were able to get me on the schedule quickly for a visit on 1/14/2026.
The technician, Mze, arrived with a helper to diagnose the issue. They were both professional and took the time to listen to the sounds and inspect the drainage system. After a thorough look, they explained that the sounds were actually normal for my specific setup and didn't indicate a major clog or venting problem.
I really appreciated their honesty—it’s refreshing to have a service team that doesn't try to upsell you on unnecessary repairs when everything is functioning as it should. If you are looking for a reliable team that values integrity and quality service, I highly recommend Mze and the crew at 4 Star.

Had a fantastic experience with technician Toly. I was very impressed with how friendly and knowledgeable he was. He went beyond what I expected with the service he provided me. He was very patient in answering all my questions . I will be leaving a very nice Yelp review for him and your company. Not cheap, but well worth it. Thank you!

Our washer and dryer piping was leaking. 5 star plumbing came out and quickly and professionally fixed the issue, cleaned up after themselves - and did a really good job throughout. I can’t say enough at how well Eze did on the job, and they let me know the job is warranties since the work is through them, which I love. I would use them again for this last project and will use them for future plumbing projects.

I had an excellent experience with this plumbing company. They were able to dispatch a technician the same day, which was incredibly helpful. The work was completed accurately and efficiently, and they left the entire area clean once the job was done. I also appreciated their attention to detail throughout the process. The pricing was very reasonable, especially considering the quality of service provided.
Highly recommend them for anyone looking for reliable and professional plumbing work.

Very quick response. Eze was excellent came in the middle of the night and tackled the emergency quickly. He was back the next morning to complete clean-out replacement. Original was buried and required much digging. Very professional, very hardworking. Big job and he finished in one day!

The plumber who came to check our leak was good and quick. But overall not the best experience with the management. First there was a misunderstanding and they did not let me know that my appointment was automatically cancelled. Then they arrived 2 hours late.
But the plumber olejandro was extremely good and was able to quickly find the cause of the leak. He then gave me an estimate for the fix. I paid the $150 service charge which they said would be deducted from my final estimate. I received the invoice but no call back for the actual work. However i was reached out by the company with an apology. So im giving 5 stars ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

I broke a water hose bib on the exterior of my home and needed a plumber right away, as I wasn’t sure which of the 4 water valves, in front of my house, was the water main. The plumber, Ezra arrived within 15-20 minutes of my call to 5 Star Plumbing. The plumber, Ezra was prompt and courteous. He explained the repairs to me prior to beginning and I received a written quote in advance of performing the repairs. I would highly recommend Ezra, in particular. & 5 Star Plumbing

My insurance policy required a smart shutoff valve to be installed. I contacted several companies who were able to quote me a price with little to no difficulty, but these guys were less $ And they demonstrated that they knew what I was asking for and needed to satisfy my insurance requirements beyond a shadow of doubt. All of this, and it was all completed before the end of the same day on which I started the process. Extremely satisfied and happy I went with them.

Excellent fast service. Called after waiting for another plumbing service for 2 days to come out to provide service. Spoke with Leo on the telephone who informed me a plumbing technician could be at my residence within an hour. Approx. 30-40 minutes later, Khalid came out and resolved our leaking shower matter quickly and efficiently! Will definitely use 5 Star Plumbing services again!

Eze from 5-Star Plumbing was very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable in making the needed repairs to our bathroom plumbing problem. He even was able to show me in pictures and video what was happening before his repairs. The fact that he was early was a bonus. I would highly recommend 5-Star Plumbing to everyone. Thanks again!

Very fast and reliable service! I had a small leak, which I couldn't locate. I called 5 Star Plumbing and they were able to get someone out within 24 hours. The tech, who was very helpful, was able to locate the leak, which turned out to be three new sprinkler control values, which I just had installed a few months ago. I will definitely use them the next time I have a plumbing issue.
