Travis is so reliable, prompt, professional, and kind! I've called him several times, to replace a water heater, fix a toilet, check a line blockage and more. Every time we have contacted him about a plumbing issue, he schedules us in quickly and addresses every problem.
It's hard to find a great professional in San Diego -- Travis and Vessel Plumbing are top notch! Highly recommended. Thank you Vessel Plumbing team! We needed a licensed plumber to help submit a Plumber's report to the city because of a break in the lateral line beyond our property line.
I contacted Travis and he was able to help the next day. They used several drain snake attachments to break up the blocked line.
They also recorded a sewer line camera inspection of the broken pipe that we could send to the city. Travis contacted the city right after the inspection and the city was able to investigate the same day.
We would recommend Vessel Plumbing for their friendly, professional and quality service! Thank you to Vessel Plumbing! Travis returned our call (on a Saturday) promptly and made time to inspect our leaking water heater. He came up with a plan to fit our needs and replaced it with a quality unit.
Travis does quality work, great communications and customer service at fair market pricing. We would recommend Vessel Plumbing to our friends and family.
Vessel has helped us on a few different plumbing issues that we've had and does great work! Responds very quickly and has great communication. Highly recommended! I randomly reached out to Travis on Sunday night to check out a minor sink leak.
He quickly replied and came over the next day to review. During his visit he was very personable to explain the issues and fixed the problem.
I'll be using him again for other plumbing needs. We had an emergency blockage in both toilets and bathtubs today.
After reading yelp reviews, we called this company. Travis came over within 20 minutes.
He went on the roof and solved the problem quickly. We were very pleased, not only because he is very skilled in the business, but also because he did care.
We had newly installed roof. He was cautious not to cause any damage to the roof.
Highly recommend! I recently hired Travis from Vessel plumbing to replace a leaky faucet and I am very happy with the service. Travis was on time, friendly, and professional.
The job was done quickly and everything works perfectly now. I highly recommend Travis and Vessel plumbing for any of your plumbing needs! Travis to the rescue! Our shower and bathtub were backing up and toilets were gurgling...we called around and seemed to be getting the run around (of course it was the weekend).
Travis was the only one to call us back promptly and set up a time to come out. Not only did he arrive an hour earlier then promised, but he quickly figured out the problem and fixed it with no "extras".
We highly recommend Travis / Vessel Plumbing! Outstanding Plumber.......called Travis and he was able to come out on a Saturday morning to clear my kitchen sink by using a drain snake. Very professional and personable.
He offered advice and explained what he was doing. Very reasonably priced and took care of the problem in less than a hour.
Will be calling him again for all our plumbing needs. I had contacted Travis to repair a broken drain pipe.
He called me back right away and came out the next day. He quickly fixed the issue and was very friendly and professional.
He charged a reasonable price too. I won't hesitate to call him again for future plumbing issues.
Vessel plumbing was on time, polite and a good value. I will definitely call them back the next time I need help.
Our bathroom drain was clogged so I called Vessel plumbing. Very good communication.
On time. Kept the estimate for his work.
Solved our issue in a timely manner. I will be keeping this place on my list to call again.
Great service! The cartridge on our shower was replaced, Travis explained the process clearly. He went above and beyond, checking the rest of the house too.
My main line was clogged, I got 2-3 plumbers come out and gave me ridiculous quotes, made me think just cheaper to build a new house. Then came vessel plumbing and was more than half the price, did incredible job, cleaned and was done.
No drama. Thanks for amazing work Travis recently replaced our 30g tank water heater with a 40g tank in our newly-purchased 1958 home in Serra Mesa.
The existing tank was about 10 years old and had started leaking into the containing drain pain pretty significantly. The tank was also leaning and had a number of other issues with the installation mentioned in our home inspection.
It was also in a tricky location in the middle of the house but he was able to move things around and fit a 40g tank (our request, not an upsell). He addressed and resolved all the existing issues mentioned in the inspection and did an overall fantastic job of installing the new unit, supply lines, etc.
He was professional, courteous and didn't hesitate to answer all the random questions I had. I've actually replaced a water heater myself before in a different home where it was in the garage (easy access) and I've sweatted plenty of copper tubing over the years so I could certainly recognize the professional quality level of his work.
As far as price, I thought it was very reasonable. I wouldn't hesitate to call on him again for any water or gas plumbing work.
When our tub drain was clogged, we called Travis at Vessel Plumbing. Travis was clean, courteous and even asked if he should take his shoes off at the door.
He was extremely patient and took the time to demonstrate what to do in the future if the drain clogged again! Because it took him all of 10 minutes to remedy our slow flowing drain, he also took the time to check our water pressure (free) as well as offered to scope our sewer for an additional fee. Since we knew it was only a matter of time until we needed to get our sewer repaired as we had cast iron sewers, I approved the work and Travis proceeded to show me what my sewer looked like and its condition.
A previous plumber who scoped our sewer during our home buy process quoted just over $18,000 to do the work of relining our 100 feet of sewer. Travis was honest in his opinion and gave us his recommendation of cleaning the sewer line with a picote system and repairing an area of root intrusion which came out to around $3,000.
However, for peace of mind, I had him bid for relining our sewer. His price was more than fair and almost half of what the initial bid was.
The relining process took about two days. Travis kept me well informed throughout the entire procedure.
The first day he came and dug out around our cleanout to prepare our sewer for relining. The digging looked brutal! The next day, the relining crew and Travis came and removed the cleanouts, relined the sewer, replaced the cleanouts, and backfilled the hole.
We were able to have running water as soon as the cleanouts were reinstalled, which was roughly about 5 hours. This was amazing as digging up and replacing a sewer line would be exponentially more expensive, and a significant inconvenience.
After doing all this work, I am hopeful that I never need to call Travis again! I am happy with the work that Travis has done, and extremely grateful to have crossed paths with such a professional plumber. If I ever run into problems with my home's plumbing, I would call Travis in a heartbeat! This guy came through for me in a pinch! Great customer service, very friendly, professional, on time, and very reasonably priced for a last minute emergency.
Thank you again and I will for sure give a shout on the next project. Very grateful! I woke up to the hubby telling me our shower was backed up and the toilet was gurgling.
We have back to back bathrooms and three ladies in the house. Hair is always clogging the tub drain and causing issues with the shower drain.
The toilet was a new issue. I called Travis and he picked up right away and I told him of my dilemma.
He said he could get there the same afternoon. He came to the house as expected and was able to run a line through the clean out and get, what he called "peanut butter" from the line to clear it.
A bunch of soft material had clumped together and causes a blockage in the main line. I've never seen a camera view of our cast iron pipe sewer line so that was a treat.
Thanks Travis for getting the house back "on-line" so quickly. Never send a boy to do a mans job.
Had a main line issue and went through home warranty to get a plumber to resolve the issue. A company came out to "clear out line" only to spend about 15 minutes to say that the snake wasn't long enough and needed a 125' line.
He likely made the clogging worse! Spoke to Travis (owner/operator) at Vessel and he was friendly, knowledgeable and came through in the clutch! Travis had all the proper equipment to diagnose and was working on site within 20 minutes of initial call! Hate to call out another company but a spade is a spade! Especially when it's dealing with a critical component of a home. Stick with piece of mind and call Travis for your next plumbing need.
Our plumbing backed up stopping up 2 bathrooms. Travis was able to come out within a couple hours, got straight to it and cleared it up.
Friendly, good tips/advice, and reasonable. Glad to have found him! Your PLUMBER FOR LIFE! Use this company for any plumbing project/repair/install, and you'll find a contractor that sets himself apart from all the ones who should be flushed down the drain.
Travis, Vessel Plumbing's owner, showed up to review my sump pump issue, on time and in person. After I had received a bid from another company based on 10 minutes of them "thinking" (not looking/touching/turning on water) what the problem might be, Travis had the forethought to actually TEST and diagnose while he was there, taking an extra 15 minutes to remove panels, turn on water and discuss all options and costs up front, and at a price that was fair, included labor and was less than the competition! Wow! Solution focused all the way! His follow up was meticulous, texting the date and time that he was available to complete the necessary work, while accommodating my schedule as well.
Work was completed in a timely manner, with no surprise up-charges. Job site was immaculate afterwards and Travis took all scrap offsite for disposal.
Professionalism is top-notch quality! A plumbing company is only as good as the man who stands behind it (& under your sink)...Travis, of Vessel Plumbing, is that man you want handling all plumbing needs---big or small, messy or wet. * Side note...the phone # I used to reach Vessel was 619-818-2290 not the one listed on this Yelp page, so don't let that be an issue which holds you back from contacting Vessel Plumbing--both #s work to reach Travis.
Super nice, very fast, very reliable and highly recommend vessel plumbing!!! Saved us after my uncle decided to wrestle our tub faucet too hard! He had to crawl into the tiniest hardest space and he fixed it fast! Travis was polite, accommodating and worked until everything was fixed, even knowing we were headed back home, he wanted to make sure it was working properly before we left town. He didn't cut corners and made sure we were taken care of before he left for the day.
He was responsive and thorough and we would recommend him to anyone needing plumbing resolution. My parent's kitchen sink and bathroom faucets are connected via the same pipes in the wet wall so the kitchen floor and bathroom sprung a leak at the same time.
Water was leaking under the kitchen sink onto the floor and also in the bathroom and was bubbling up from the floor tile grout. The problem was a quarter sized hole in one of the pipes in the wall that was leaking onto the ground soaking the flooring.
Travis responded within minutes of my call to assess the problem, was very professional and wore protective masks due to covid. My mother has early onset dementia and was very respectful of her and her routines.
He showed us how turn the water off and trouble shoot several areas just in case anything were to happen before or after fixing, but returned the next day and fixed the problem promptly. Travis had to refit the pipes, cut them and put new pipes with an expansion sleeve on it to clamp down.
After this job as done, my dad told me he was planning on fixing issues with his water heater and a company he was looking at (Anderson Plumbing in San Diego) was quoting him $1900 to fix. After seeing Travis' quick, professional work and talking to him about cost, he decided to bring Travis for the water heater job and after he finished, Travis charged my dad around $800, saving my (both retired) parents over $1,000.
My dad has been a mechanic and general handyman all his life and he said Travis did some of the best work he's ever seen, and coming from him, that means a lot! Would definitely recommend Travis and Vessel Plumbing to anyone who wants great, professional work done in an affordable and quick manor! Meticulous, timely, and friendly. Travis helped install our kitchen sink, faucet, and dishwasher.
Would call him again if we need help. My shower faucet was leaking badly and Travis was able to fix the leak and replace the ugly parts without tearing out the wall.
He is very easy to work with. I will definitely call him again if I need to.
Travis responded quickly and was very thorough throughout the entire process. Knowledgeable, efficient and professional.
Travis was extremely sensitive to the urgency of my leak situation and moved his schedule around to get to my house as soon as possible. He was extremely COVID conscience and respectful.
The leak was not easy to find and he was able to troubleshoot where it was coming from very effectively. He corrected the situation and was able to determine the true root cause was with my pressure regulator failure.
This cause a few issues elsewhere in the house and he fixed those too before leaving. I highly recommend him and will call on them again.
My downstairs toilet, when not in use, suddenly started overflowing with water that was sudsy, flooding the bathroom floor and into the hallway. Since I was washing clothes I turned off the machine and the water line to the toilet and used Yelp to locate Vessel Plumbing/Travis.
Even though this happened on Saturday night, Travis responded promptly to my emergency plumbing issue. He quickly assessed the situation as a clog in the drain leading from the house to the sewer line and then diligently worked to clean the line.
I'm very appreciative for his assistance and professionalism. Travis is awesome! Recent minor repair needed at my mother's house and Travis took care of it in no time.
He also checked the pressure and let us know we'd be needing a new regulator in the not-too-distant future. Having dealt with a regulator problem at my house, with a different plumber, I appreciate the head's up without the high pressure sales pitch.
Pun intended. My kitchen sink clogged up on a Saturday morning.
Travis responded immediately. He was courteous and left my house clean.
We are so happy we chose Vessel Plumbing to help us with our leak! Travis was responsive when scheduling our next-day appointment, and prompt, professional, and courteous when he came to our house. He followed Covid guidelines, wearing a mask at all times, and worked quickly and efficiently and had our leak fixed in 2 hours with minimal mess.
He informed us of what he was doing before he did it and made the whole process easy for us. We also appreciated his honesty about potential issues that may happen down the road with our old pipes.
His pricing was very fair, and we ended up spending around $150 less than had we gone with a big-name company. It's always nice to find a small business to support (especially in these times) that will get the job done right! Vessel Plumbing will definitely be getting our business in the future.
Thanks, Travis! Really pleased with the service from Travis. He came within an hour of my call, took care of the entire problem in just a few hours, and explained everything thoroughly.
And the price was almost $1000 less than big company in town! I'll definitely use them in the future. We found water leaking into our garage on a Saturday afternoon.
I found Travis on yelp, called him and he was out repairing the leak that evening. He was professional and knowledgeable.
We've already used him again for a different plumbing maintenance job. Travis came to fix my leaking sink and replace my garbage disposal.
He was responsive, informative and very friendly. I will be contacting him again for when I need to replace my sink and faucet.
Thank you for getting the job done correctly and quickly! We were in the middle of our oven replacement when we found a huge gas pipe. Installation couldn't proceed without fixing it and that's when we called vessel plumbing.
Travis accepted to come in at that very minute even though it was late in the evening! He fixed our problem with ease was a life savior! Our new oven was installed with no problems later. I called Travis for an after-hour "semi-emergency".
He was quick to respond and was available to come right over. I am thankful for his prompt action and his professionalism.
He took care in his work and was detailed in his approach. We will call Vessel Plumbing for our next plumbing need.
Helpful at identifying what needed to be done immediately and recommendations on future-proofing to avoid more costly repairs.When I tell people the amount I paid for the quality of products and service I got, they are blown away! Great value - Great service - Quality work Thank you to Travis and all his hard work. He was here twice to work on our plumbing issues.
He was professional and efficient as well as on time and knowledgeable. I love supporting local businesses and I highly recommend Vessel Plumbing for your plumbing needs.
Travis came out right away on an emergency leak and spent quite a bit of time troubleshooting for us. This was a head scratcher problem, for sure, but he patiently provided the needed attention for our situation.
He was also extremely personable, respectful and polite. As much as you never want to need a plumber around all the time, it's great to know we have found our go-to plumber for the future.
I needed my toilet unclogged and Travis responded very quickly and did an outstanding job. I will be definitely calling him back for all my plumbing needs.
We called Vessel Plumbing for a water heater emergency on a Sunday. Travis answered and responded to our house within an hour and fixed the problem.
Additionally, he recommended other services that would save us from a tragedy in the future. He replaced our water heater the next day and we are very happy with the service.
I would definitely recommend Vessel Plumbing and will call Travis next time. Easy to work with, nice and great prices for labor/service.
I had very positive experience working with Travis. He is professional, communicate well and promptly.
Arrive the site on time, with professional equipments, job well done. I am in needs of good plumbing companies constantly and for sure plan to use vessel plumbing going forward.
We had a clogged bathroom drain. I contacted Vessel Plumbing and the owner Travis showed up on time and he completed the job in in a timely manner , He was very professional and we would recommend him.
We'll definitely call him in future for any plumbing needs. Vessel Plumbing is by far my plumber of choice.
They are very professional and personal, and I had a great experience. When you don't know anything about plumbing, it can be scary and intimidating.
