Company Overview
John the Plumber is a trusted local fixture in Tehachapi, built on a foundation of family and expertise. Founded in 2000 by master plumber John Nelson, the business began as Cal City Plumbing before rebranding in 2012 to better reflect its growing service area. John's roots run deep, having learned the trade at his father's shop. Today, he and his wife Sarah run the company together—John leads the skilled team of four full-time plumbers on every job, while Sarah manages operations and customer service. Their commitment to the community is proven, earning Small Business of the Year honors in both California City and Tehachapi. They stand behind their work with a simple, strong promise: if they can't fix your plumbing problem, you don't pay.
Questions and Answers
My washing machine hose burst and flooded my laundry room—is this a common issue in Tehachapi homes?
Yes, laundry hose failures are a frequent call we get from Tehachapi residents. The constant water pressure and wear can cause hoses to weaken and burst, often without warning. We recommend and can install durable, braided stainless steel supply hoses, which are far more resistant to bursting than standard rubber hoses. As part of our plumbing inspection service, we can check all your appliance connections to help prevent this stressful and damaging situation.
How does your "you don't pay if we don't fix it" policy work?
Our policy is straightforward and reflects our confidence. When we are called to diagnose and repair a plumbing issue, our goal is a complete and lasting solution. If, for any reason, we are unable to resolve the problem we were hired to fix, there is no charge for the service. This applies to all our repairs, from a simple faucet drip to a complex sewer line issue. It's our way of ensuring you receive honest, effective service with no risk.
Do you handle full bathroom remodels, or just the plumbing work?
We offer comprehensive bathroom remodeling services. While plumbing is our specialty—handling all shower, bathtub, toilet, sink, and drain installations—our team manages the full project. This includes coordinating with other trades, demolition, and final fixture installation to ensure a seamless process. With our experience since 2000, we can help you upgrade your bathroom efficiently, avoiding the hassle of managing multiple contractors.
