I would give them 10 stars if I could. MIKE of ABILITY PLUMBING is the best. He owns the business and is very conscientious, professional, nice, and has saved the day for my home twice in the last month. The first time was when there was a gas leak under the house and also at the SDG&E meter, and this morning when my water heater was leaking from the pipes at the top of the unit. Thank God the water heater itself wasn't leaking!! But there was quite a bit of water that kept leaking out of the hoses and Mike responded very quickly both times and took care of everything. Very reasonable

We had the unfortunate experience of having an underground pipe in our front yard spring a leak. After interviewing over 7 plumbers, we finally settled on Ability Plumbing for one specific reason--the integrity of the employees of this company. Mike and Long were not your typical 'salesman' who wanted to fix everything 'under the sun' even if unnecessary. They actually tried to save us money to get the job done and when it seemed like the 'quick and dirty' would not work, they suggested an alternative which still was more competitive than what others had quoted

What a pleasure was to meet Michael Sotile!!! He was very honest when giving me the "diagnosis" of my sink problem. Michael is very polite and has a wonderful best side manner. I am happy to recommend Michael for your next plumbing project. I know I will have him on speed dial
