We compared 20 plumbers in Riverside on Google Maps · 5 listed · How we rank

A slab leak or a dead water heater rarely waits for a convenient week. The plumbers in Riverside on this page have logged 5,007 Google reviews between them, with ratings from 4.7 to 5.0, and the biggest review base (1,619) belongs to the lowest-rated name. So the choice is less about who is good and more about who fits the job, from a quick drain clearing to a full repipe.

Short answer: RighTime Home Services / Rescue Rooter has the most reviews at 1,619 (4.7 stars), while Jim & Sons Plumbing & Rooter holds a perfect 5.0 across 880 reviews. First Class Plumbing & AC (4.8 on 937), Cisneros Brothers Plumbing (4.9 on 790) and OneStop Plumbers (4.9 on 781) complete the list. Prices depend on the job, so get a written estimate before work starts.

How the scorecards work

Every number on this page comes from public Google data on the date shown, not from opinion or payment. Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the company, compared with other local plumbers. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.8 from hundreds of customers counts for more than the same score from a few. Recency shows how recently people still leave reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

What do plumbers charge in Riverside?

Plumbing prices swing with the job: a clogged drain costs far less than a slab leak or a full repipe, and after-hours calls often carry a premium. Many companies charge a service fee or a flat rate by task. None of the companies here publishes a price list on its Google profile, so we show no price table. Ask for a written, itemized estimate and whether the visit fee is credited toward the repair.

Plumbers serving Riverside

These companies are based in the 92503, 92506 and 92507 ZIP codes of Riverside, and RighTime works as a service-area business with no street address. At least one reviewer reports service in nearby Eastvale. Searching for a plumber near me? Each listing shows a phone number and map link so you can reach the closest option.

What to ask before you hire a plumber

  • Are you licensed and insured in California? Can I see the license number?
  • Is the quote flat-rate or hourly, and is the visit fee credited to the repair?
  • Is the estimate itemized and in writing before work starts?
  • Do you charge extra for evenings, weekends or emergencies?
  • What warranty comes with the parts and labor?
  • Will the same technician do the work that gave the quote?

Frequently asked questions

Which Riverside plumbers also do heating and air?

RighTime Home Services / Rescue Rooter and First Class Plumbing & AC both list air conditioning or heating work, and Cisneros Brothers Plumbing mentions HVAC services in its replies. Confirm with each company before booking.

Why is a 5.0 plumber not ranked first?

Ranking weighs rating and review volume together. A 4.7 backed by 1,619 reviews outranks a 5.0 backed by 880, but both numbers are on every scorecard so you can decide which matters more.

The bottom line

Jim & Sons is the one to beat on rating, and RighTime has the biggest review base. For a big job, collect two written estimates from the names above and compare them line by line.
