Joyce Plumbing

Saturday at 12 p. m we realized our granny flat was clogged. We had company from out of town and we’re having a huge family get together at 4 pm. John was at our house within a couple of hours and had it fixed and cleaned up quickly. He was busy that day but since my husband explained that we had a party he made it happen. His customer service was outstanding. His clean up was superb. He sprayed something then cleaned up the mess. My company had flushed baby wipes and clogged up the system. He was quick and clean and I know who to call next time I need good service. Thanks John for making it happen and for the discount. It was greatly appreciated.

Like many on here leaving reviews, I had a plumbing emergency and Joyce Plumbing was able to come over after hours to fix my issues. They assessed the problem and gave me a fair quote. Really professional… addressed me as sir and even asked permission to wash their hands in the sink. They even offered a new solution to a problem that I was previously told would cost thousands to repair. Seems like an honest company. Great experience.

Had an emergency on a national holiday and Joyce Plumbing fixed my issue same day without hijacking the price! In fact, I felt the cost was more than reasonable! Great service — honest workers — definitely my new go-​to plumber!

Today we had a little plumbing emergency and the plumber we normally use was busy on the golf course. I used Unilocal and found Joyce Plumbing. Sorry, previous unnamed plumber, you’ve been replaced! Joyce plumbing was reasonable, knowledgable in the humblest manner (you could tell he knew his stuff), honest, polite and efficient. When we called him, he said, «I’m on the 8. I can come right now.» He was here in less than 15 minutes. When you’ve had to shut off your water, that is such a relief! We had 2 other non-​emergency plumbing things we had to do and we were so impressed, we asked him to do those as well which he was able to accomodate. We will definitely use him again. Plus, you get $ 25 if you found him on Unilocal.Use him! You won’t be sorry. Thanks for the great service, Joyce Plumbing!

First time I had to ever call a plumber since living in La Mesa for over 12 yrs. Naturally skeptical of being gouged since my problem was an emergency and required immediate repair. Well, my experience and service received was beyond pleasant. Price was right, customer courtesy was phenomenal. So if you’re reading reviews in search of a plumber, stop right here because you have found the most honest and knowledgeable plumbing service around.

Nice guy from the start. I called and easily got scheduled. He would have seen us sooner but it wasn’t an emergency so we opted for Saturday. Nice being able to text back and forth. Really reasonable cost and did a great, quick job. Definitely recommend and happy to find a good plumber after an unpleasant experience with our previous plumber.

Great service! Arrived on time of scheduled appointment. Highly recommend — for prompt — professional service Joyce Plumbing is the company to call. Would gladly pass on the to family or friends that need plumbing services. Best of all he was reasonably priced. Thanks again for the great service.

Outstanding service! Highly recommend using Joyce Plumbing. I had a clogged kitchen sink and he was able to get to our house with in a couple hours. He and his assistant were very professional and were very personable. Reasonably priced too!

John came to my house immediately on a Saturday afternoon when we had a mainline backup. He worked hard and fast, getting the rusty cap off a clean-​out and snaking out the mainline in about 15 minutes. He turned a bad afternoon into a nice one. And he didn’t charge too much. I recommend him.

Fast, courteous, and reasonably priced to take a few toys out of the toilet.

Great service, knowledgeable and honest. I used John for an inspection on a house we’re in escrow in and we will definitely be using him to do the work that needs to be done. Very fair.

The short version: John has always been prompt, on time, and nothing but straightforward and professional. He’s always offered sound advice and been patient when I’ve had questions about current issues and planning for our complex’s future.
Working with John feels like I’ve had a «family plumber» for years — I definitely feel comfortable having him on the job and he’s extremely personable.
The Longer Version: As I am sitting here writing this, John is here at our complex for the 3^rd job our HOA has had him do over the past two or so years.
The first was in in-​wall drain pipe that cracked near the foundation and was leaking. Before I came across John I had another large plumbing company in San Diego give our HOA a quote as well (which they charged us a $ 100 «site visit» for). The other guys wanted to replace the pipe down into the foundation (trying to fleece our HOA, perhaps?) — something John said wasn’t necessary given the current state of the crack. He fixed it quickly and we haven’t had any issues since.
A few months ago, we experienced our first slab leak, John handled arrangements for the leak detection company, as well as helping us find a company to re-​stretch the carpet in the unit once he was done with the repair (which only took a few hours… way shorter than anticipated).
Today, we have yet another slab leak, and John is once again the superstar who coordinated the leak detection company and is currently repairing the damaged pipe that was leaking. Again, I doubt he will be here more than a couple of hours longer.
5 Stars all the way — if you need a plumber, John’s your guy.

We called Joyce Plumbing on a Saturday afternoon after discovering a bad leak from our shower drain was causing substrate moisture in our entry-​way. After attempting to diagnose and fix the issue ourselves we discovered some seriously deteriorated pipes realized it was above and beyond our knowledge on how to best fix this issue. Upon calling John he was very upfront about the costs due it being the weekend and our options, we decided it was worth it to have him come out on Sunday since we were without a shower until fixed. He arrived on time, was quick to asses the problem and asked questions to make the best decision on how to fix the problem. He walked us through what he was going to do prior to starting work and gave us an accurate estimate of the costs, which were reasonable. He even took time to discuss with us the concerns of the age of the plumbing and how to make it last as long as possible — he also recommended a product to maintain the pipes and keep them clear. After the work was complete he showed us what he did and any other areas concerns he noticed while working. It was very clear from our interactions with John that he is knowledgeable in the trade and truly cares about the work he does. We feel lucky to have found a plumber to add to our list of trusted companies if we need plumbing work in the future. We highly recommend this company.

I found John on Unilocal and hired him to work on what turned out to be a slab leak at my condo. It is not a comfortable feeling having water coming up out of the concrete but John’s honesty and professionalism helped tremendously throughout the process. Since then, John has come out to help with a variety of jobs for myself and those I have referred him to. John does a first-​class job and won’t rip you off!

Extremely professional! Ive used him numerous times. He is always on time and completes the job correctly the first time. I have always felt im getting a great price for the excellent work John provides. I will always recommend and use Joyce plumbing!

I had a sewage backup catastrophe at my condo and after calling a dozen plumbers on a Sunday, I found John who was one of the few who bothered to call me back. I could tell on the phone that he cares about his work and likes to solve problems.
When he arrived I could tell that he is a sincere person and not one of those rush-​in rush-​out kind of repairmen. He spent the time to assess the problem, spoke with the building manager, explained the pros and cons of different approaches, and spent several hours at the site. When he had to go out to get a part he did not charge me for that time.
I’m lucky I came across him when looking for a plumber!

I’ve never actually called these guys but received help from them anyway! A calamitous, wet mess under the sink during my housewarming party (of course) led me to discover that the p-​trap was installed backwards as a poor substitute for a too-​deep sink and garbage disposal not lining up properly with the waste pipe. As I was standing in Home Depot trying to figure out what parts I needed (for the third time), one of the Joyce plumbers recognized my distress, set down his own stuff to study the picture I had snapped on my phone, and then gathered up all the supplies I needed and laid them out for me in the correct configuration. Now that’s just nice. Thank you!

John Joyce delivers personalized service! My husband & I have been using John for over 3 years for every plumbing issue we’ve had; seems like we have something break or get clogged up several times a year! John even plumbed and installed our new gas oven the guys from Pacific Sales couldn’t do. He’s never in a hurry and you feel your job is the only one he’s concerned with. John is a family man who is dedicated to his wife and children. You will not be disappointed using Joyce Plumbing!

John is amazing and helped me out so much today! I am always grateful for hospitality especially being a girl who doesn’t know much about plumbing. Glad to know that there is a solid family business out there that genuinely cares about doing a good job.
Definitely recommend these boys! They got me in same day when no one else was answering the phones or was grumpy :)
Thank you so much John for being happy to help you’re running a good business!

Hi,
I want to recommend Joyce Plumbing to anyone that has a tough plumbing job to do. I’ve never seen two harder working brothers in my life.
Joyce plumbing has been taking care of the large plumbing assignments for our condo HOA for several years. Some of their «outside of the box» solutions have saved us thousands of dollars.
Most recently, we had a bad slab leak in one of our buildings. The detection service that the HOA choose missed the spot completely. However, Justin Joyce just kept going, for 11 hours straight with that jackhammer, until he finally located the leak.
During those eleven hours of hard sweaty work, Justin kept a very calm and positive attitude, which must have been difficult considering the situation. His brother John was always available with that special tool, or advice on what to do next.
From now on, we’ll always call Joyce Plumbing first, for a small or big job! Thanks Justin and John!
