Justin and Victor were very polite, professional and efficient. They called before arriving as well, which is always helpful and appreciated. We hired Elsea Plumbing to repair two plumbing issues at our house and they did a fantastic job. They were thorough and ensured that everything was working well before leaving. I would recommend Elsea Plumbing. They are also affordable. 5 stars!

Had a great experience with this plumbing company! They were quick to respond, showed up on time, and handled the issue efficiently and professionally. The technician was knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and made sure the job was done right the first time. Pricing was fair with no surprises, which I really appreciated. It’s not always easy finding reliable service, but this team definitely delivered. Highly recommend!

A great experience occurred while dealing with a messy hot water leak in our solid foundation…in the center of the living room! The great experience that occurred was we were introduced to Dustin at Elsea Plumbing. Dustin and his team were able to pinpoint the exact location 3 feet under the foundation, repair the water line and button everything up in 3 days. He is the consummate professional and takes great pride in his work. At the end of each day, the site was cleaned and ready for the next step. I would highly recommend Elsea Plumbing for any plumbing issues.

I had a great experience working with Dustin. He was very responsive throughout the entire process and made everything easy to coordinate. One thing I really appreciated was how well he handled the permitting process with the county — that can be a headache, but he took care of it smoothly. He installed a buried propane gas line for me and also ran gas to my stovetop. The quality of his work is top-notch — you can tell he takes pride in doing things right. It’s also worth noting that Dustin is willing to take on both large and smaller jobs, which is not always easy to find. Overall, professional, reliable, and does premium work. I would absolutely recommend him.

I have been using Elsea Plumbing over the last 5 years. I have been having constant water leaks in my home from when we moved in, in 2021. Everytime I called Elsea Plumbing, they have been very responsive when I called and they show up when they say they will and work diligently to fix the problem. Unfortunately for me the leaks just kept happening, all in different areas of our home. The leaks were coming from the Pex pipe hot water recirculation line, everytime. So we made the decision to re-plumb our entire house so we wouldn't have to keep fighting these annoying leaks, not a small job. This covered 3 bathrooms, three toilets, 6 sinks (one was in an island sink in the kitchen), 2 mop sinks a garden tub and of course the mechanical room with the water heater which was replaced with a tankless water heater, plus 5 outside water spigots two of which had to be relocated. A lot of walls had to be opened, and the floor in the kitchen had to be opened up which included cutting the tile floor and concrete slab to reach the island sink and dishwasher. Elsea Plumbing coordinated everything, the replumb took only 4 days to complete. We were living in the home at the time this was going on. Although the complete job took two weeks, this included closing all the walls, floor, tile, texturing and paint. You can't even tell anything had been done. I just want to thank Elsea Plumbing for an excellent job you did in my home. My wife and I have lived in the Prescott area for almost 34 years and have used a lot of plumbing companies over the years. I will NOT use any other plumbing company for my plumbing needs as long as I live here, which hopefully will be a long time. THANKS AGAIN ELSEA FOR YOUR EXCELLENT WORK AND A JOB WELL DONE.
