He has solved problems other couldn't many times. Marino is great.
He came to our house on New Year's Eve to clean out our clogged drains, which turns out were impacted by roots. He is very meticulous and knows what he is doing.
He took the time to do it the right way and was very transparent about how he operates his business. We were getting ripped off by another plumber.
It's comforting to know there are people out there you can trust. Highly recommend him for all your drain related needs.
Marino is amazing. He explains everything in detail, prices are very reasonable and is very knowledgeable.
I went to him for a second opinion and he alerted me of many things that were done wrong and how to fix them. I am so grateful I found him.
Thank you Marino! Called Marino Flores from a referral, such a great find! Marino is personable, technically knowledgeable and professional. He shared about his work history, how he got into plumbing, worked hard in surrounding neighborhoods, and recently started this business.
Why we called him in the first place was we wanted to know if we needed to change our cast iron main line as other houses in the neighborhood was dealing with their broken main lines. He came out, camera scoped our main lines and upstream pipes to the toilets through clean outs.
He was pretty honest, didn't try to give us a quote on cast iron replacement, and said our pipe was healthy. I would recommend Marino to anyone.
I am a project manger for a general contractor here in San Diego handling multiple projects with varying priorities each day. Today, later in the afternoon, I received a call from one of my clients whose drains stopped up following some plumbing work performed earlier in the day.
I spoke to the original plumber but he was dumbfounded and left rather than resolve the problem! (Sound of my hand slapping my forehead hard!) Luckily for me I made a few calls and found Martin at San Diego Drain Cleaning. I explained the issue and that this particular family has special needs that this issue was impacting.
I asked him to please come today as they could not wait until tomorrow. Martin asked a few questions about the presenting issue, then confirmed he would re-arrange his day to meet the needs of my client.
23 minutes later Martin met me at their front door. 19 minutes after that, the issue was resolved and all plumbing fixtures were tested and found to be working and draining properly.
From dumbfounded to resolved! This was nothing short of OUTSTANDING! Martin showed his empathy for the situation and those involved and relieved all the stress by handling it quickly and efficiently. Folks, if you, your friends or family have a drain issue in and around San Diego there is only one call to make.
They are now in my database and first on my list: San Diego Drain Cleaning! Thank you Martin, you're a true professional! We woke up to a kitchen sink full of water and tried everything to get it unblocked ourselves to no avail so I headed to Yelp to find a plumber. I was discouraged when most of the other plumbers I contacted wouldn't be able to come out until the next week (no kitchen sink for days!) but Marino was able to come fix it within the hour.
It was a tough clog and he did an incredibly thorough job and explained the issue in great detail. Marino was fast, knowledgeable, and did an amazing job.
Highly recommend. In the past couple weeks we've had a chance to test out our recently cleaned backyard drains.
We're impressed! We bought our house about 1.5 years ago and watched our backyard drains clog with heavy rain last winter, forming a seasonal lake under our covered patio. This year we called these guys as their reviews were good, they responded very quickly with a flat-rate quote, and their price seemed reasonable.
I honestly didn't think they would be able to clean them out, I thought they were too far gone and they were just going to tell us that our drains had turned into one giant root. But they stuck with it until they got all the roots and dirt out, about half the day! Now we can go outside under our covered patio without getting our waders on.
Thanks, guys! Marino and Mike came out after another drain company was unable to unclog our drain. They are honest and have that can do attitude.
Immediately went to work looking for the location of the clogged pipe, once located they went to work to clear the problem pipe. While working in our home they wore masks and gloves respecting covid standards.
We highly recommend this company of responsible, knowledgeable, hardworking individuals. An excellent experience! Fast, honest, and a great value! Marino was quick to respond to my Yelp quote request and actually gave us a great and straightforward quote via text without any additional runaround or hassle.
This was all on a Sunday no less! Wait...it gets better. Once here Marino actually recommend a more simple and less expensive service to uncolgg our kitchen sink (snaking vs hydro-jetting)!!!! He didn't try to upsell us at all (when he could have) and saved us money, time, and an additional mess.
He was a polite and consummate professional throughout. Honestly, I have avoided calling plumbers in the past because I feared being overcharge for unnecessary work/fees.
It's hard to find honest and ethical businesses these days. We are grateful to have found Marino and his business.
We will definitely be referring all our family and friends to him!!! I'm a real estate agent and work with buyers frequently and always advise conducting a sewer scope. On such short notice, I am so grateful to have met Marino and he was very friendly prompt and knowledgeable.
Marino is super professional and even early! San Diego Drain Cleaning will be my #1 go to for drain cleaning and sewer inspections from now on! Marino really cares about customer service. He is the best price around.
I wasn't upsold or price gouged. He told me exactly what the problem was and his price never changed.
Def very personable and knowledgeable. Will definitely use again and recommend business to others.
I did my research and had other companies come before I called this one and they wouldn't even tell me exactly what problem was and that made me uneasy. Especially with the window they always give you about when they'll get to you, it's very frustrating.
With Marino he was actually early and very professional and got right to work. I needed someone to come out quickly, San Diego Drain Cleaning not only responded immediately, but they also had the most competitive pricing.
Marino came out, fixed my issue and actually left my bathroom and toilet in better shape than before the clog!! I would highly recommend!! Thank you guys for taking care of me! Such a quick job! Marino was In and out in under an hour. He wore his mask the entire time, and cleared the drain! We are so appreciative! Will definitely call again if the same issue comes up! Marino is my hero.
He came within 30 minutes on a Sunday evening and didn't charge me an arm and a leg. I had already had a plumber out 2 times that couldn't solve my problem.
Marino had my problem solved in an hour. Thank you Great job, good communication, arrived on time, solved the problem, charged what he quoted.
I can confidently recommend Marino. I called with a non-emergency drain cleaning and, within an hour, Marino was at my door.
He was knowledgable, experienced and beyond thorough, spending more time that I expected to make sure the drains were clear; and charged LESS that what was a very reasonable quote given over the phone. He made recommendations for alleviating potential problems and said that if his service did not fully take care of the problem, he would discount a high pressure clean-out.
I recommend him highly over all the other services that I have ever had to use in the past. If you have any drain issues- call Marino and his team immediately! The absolute best in the business.
Marino is so kind, professional, and knowledgeable. His work is fantastic and pricing is totally fair.
I called him in the afternoon and he was there the same evening! I cannot say enough good things about him and his team. I am so grateful to have found San Diego Drain Cleaning- definitely hire them for any of your draining needs! Marino was awesome! Professional, quick and honest service.
He camera inspected all lines prior to his recommendation and showed me on his video monitor that we didnt need a hydro jetting at this time. He could have easily upsold me on unneeded work that another plumber quoted me $1500 for! SD Drain Cleaning will always be my first call for any drain issues.
Highly recommend Marino did a great job jetting my main line of roots. Another company tried to scam me into digging up my sewer line for an arm and a leg.
I decided to call San Diego drain cleaning and Marino replied right away. He took care of all the roots, did a full camera inspection and gave me a recording.
Very Honest company and definitely recommended. I am about to use a number of words that are not often associated with one-and-other...
Fair... Honest...
Courteous... Polite and wait for it: Plumber! Yesterday my drains completely stopped working.
I had a massive plug in my main sewer line. Last night I had a plumber/scam artist come to my house and lie, try to upsell me and to get me to pay for services I didn't need.
Fortunately, I know enough not to be bamboozled by these yo-yo's so I sent them packing. This morning, however, was completely different.
Mariano from San Diego Drain Cleaning came and fixed my problem, he was quick, courteous and punctual. He provided me with me with a very fair estimate and went above and beyond the call of duty to water jet out my sewer lines.
Seriously, the guys the night before were almost 5X more expensive!!! Not only did Mariano clear the blockage, he pressure washed my entire sewer line 127 feet, down 80 feet of driveway, out to the middle of the street and then down until he hit the City's main sewer lines. This was a thorough, complete and honest job! If you are in the need of drain cleaning services, I would highly recommend Mariano from San Diego Drain Cleaning.
He was Fair, Honest, Courteous, Polite!!! He will be my go-to guy for all future drain cleaning needs and should be yours as well! Don't get scammed, call Mariano... We've used San Diego Drain Cleaning on several occasions and they consistently provide effective and affordable drain service.
I've been very impressed with their customer service (Marino, the owner, is great). I give them our highest recommendation.
Marino and team came out same day to jet our drain all the way to the sewer main and inspect it with a camera. We got to watch the inspection before and after showing all the roots that it blasted out.
Excellent work, definitely recommend! I had my sink cleared in a matter of minutes by a very professional and courteous gentleman named Marino, who just happens to be the owner of this outstanding business. I was extremely stoked by how fast and efficient he was.
I would call him again in a minute, but I hope to not have to deal with a clogged drain for a while. he was friendly and very thorough.
Quick response, on time, accurate pricing. A real professional.
Will definitely be using again in the future should the need arise. My wife dropped her earring down the bathroom sink, and the plastic P-trap was badly stuck to the point that I couldn't deal with it myself.
I put in a call for quotes through Yelp, and Marino was one of the first to reply. He offered a fair flat rate estimate.
He arrive on time (within less than 1h of our initial contact), and had detached the P-trap, cleaned it, rescued the earring, and reattached everything in good working order within another 45 min. He was professional, courteous, and efficient.
I certainly plan to go to SD Train Cleaning if/when any other issues arise. Very professional! I was very pleased with how quickly they were able to come out and what a thorough job they did.
Highly recommend! We discovered last night that our kitchen sink had backed up. We tried to clear it ourselves this morning but the clog was further away from the drain cleanout than we could reach.
I checked with several local businesses but were told we'd have to wait until Monday at the earliest. Thankfully, Marino had an opening within a few hours.
He arrived promptly and got the drain cleared out quickly, and then took the time to explain what he found. Very polite; no drama.
I'll definitely call again the next time we have a clog beyond our meager clearing abilities! I rarely write yelp reviews but I felt the need to write this review because I am so thankful for the service this company provided. We returned from being out of town and discovered we had a main line sewer block which was causing all of our plumbing to backup.
We were desperate for help but it was late on Saturday night. I put out a call for help on yelp and Marino was the only one to respond and was willing to help.
He showed up at my door within 30 minutes with a great attitude and ready to get to work. Within 10 minutes he had diagnosed the problem and 30 minutes later the line was clear.
It is rare to get this kind of service so I am extremely impressed with the level of service from this company. If you have a plumbing issue don't hesitate even once to call Marino for help.
You will be glad you did. We contacted Marino and 25 minutes later he was at our house! He was very friendly, reliable and did a great job! I highly recommend this company, you won't be disappointed! Had a clogged washer drain in the garage that I couldn't clear with a snake.
First plumber I called flaked on me. Got a quote from Marino and he was there the next day to take care of it.
Couldn't be happier with the whole experience. His communication was prompt, considerate and courteous.
Gave me a 30 minute window and even texted to say it was going to be closer to the end of window. He took quick care of the clog and explained what he did and stress tested the drainage to make sure there was no issue.
Price was very competitive. Highly recommend! Marino was fast, friendly, honest, and didn't try to upsale anything.
He was very through and charged less than anyone we contacted on yelp. Highly recommended! If you need your sewer scoped or cleaned, run, don't walk, to hire Marino.
His efficiency, thoroughness, honesty, & straightforward pricing, all much appreciated & refreshing. He has the latest technology & can get it done right.
Highly recommended! My finicky drain backs up at least once a year requiring me to hire a plumber to snake the line. I sent a request for bids through yelp.
I received several bids but only San Diego Drain Cleaning and one other company gave me an immediate, written estimate, per my request. The other company's fee was 3x the bid from SD Drain Cleaning soooo I did not use them.
Other bidders wanted to come out and "look at the job" before giving me a price quote. Because these clogs happen somewhat frequently, I know exactly what the problem is and approximately how much it should cost to repair.
San Diego Drain Cleaning provided a reasonable quote, and had someone at my house within 30 minutes to take care of the issue. I appreciate the fact that I did not have to waste my time waiting for a technician to come "look at the job"only to be turned away if the bid would've been too high.
I highly recommend this company And will use them again if/when I have the need. If I could give Marino more than 5 stars I would! From initial contact - he was quick to respond, courteous and informative.
He gave me a quote and gave me an idea of worst case scenario. He let me know what services the fee would include.
He wasn't pushy about getting out to check the job out so he could give us an overpriced estimate, like every other plumber I contacted. I am so glad that I decided to book with him.
The day of the appointment, he contacted me prior to his arrival. He was knowledgeable about the situation we were experiencing with our kitchen and bathroom and was able to quickly resolve our plumbing issues! The price ended up being less than a third of what he quoted because we didn't end up needing to do all the services.
So grateful for his services and honesty! He could have easily done the unnecessary services and charged us and we would not have known the difference. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!'''.
