In the middle of a kitchen redo our stove gas pipe ruptured upon moving the stove. CNG had to respond and necessitating a call to plumber Rafael. What a blessing! Rafael responded promptly.

We couldn’t be happier with the service! Rafael came out on a Sunday to address a small basement leak and was incredibly kind, efficient, and professional. His diagnostic skills were excellent. he quickly identified the source of the leak, explained to us how it happened, and fixed it promptly. We truly appreciated his responsiveness and willingness to come out on a weekend. Highly recommend!

As a new homeowner, I appreciated that he took the time to walk me through my home’s water systems. He clearly takes pride in his work and did an excellent job fixing my issue.
I had the best experience with Rafael at Tideline Plumbing. He was so quick to respond and was willing to help me out of a jam with a grease trap installation for my restaurant . He was so nice and professional and willing to go the extra mile to make sure the customer was happy. Super down to earth person and he explained everything he had to do. I can’t recommend him enough. He also does residential!! Don’t even think twice, you are in good hands here!! Thanks a lot Rafael!
The experience with Rafael from Tideline Plumbing was great! He arrived promptly. He explained everything that he was doing while he was working. He also unveiled what the problem was and what needed to be done. It was as if he was teaching us as he was providing his services. Rafael worked in a timely manner, and cleaned up after providing the services. All in all, he was very professional and his prices were very reasonable. Our new faucets look and work great. We are very happy with the service and will call him again for any of our plumbing needs.
