ABOUT BUSINESS OWNER

Most of my siblings and I grew up fixing just about anything we can get our hands on. At times, we would just take something apart to understand how it works. These are my childhood memories. Mechanically inclined, I have mostly held repair and customer service type positions through out my teenage years into my adult years. I successfully completed mechanical courses with 1st and 2nd highest rankings in the school. Today, I am fully engaged in the Plumbing Industry, and have been on a full-time basis for the past nine years. I know that without happy customers, you will not succeed in business.

Had an issue with my sink backing up and as soon as an appointment was confirmed the tech, Joshua, showed up and was able to get the sink flowing again. He explained the issue, how to prevent it from happening again, and gave excellent advice.

The tech was friendly, extremely well versed in his craft, funny, and got my drainage issue fixed.

I would absolutely recommend both the company as well as Joshua in particular for any kind of plumbing repair after this experience.

Luis, who is one of the owners, came out at around 10:30 PM to fix my toilet and bathtub overflowing. He Is extremely good and patient in explaining the problem to me So that i can understand what the exact specific plumbing issue I have and what kind of solutions I can take now and in the future. I really appreciate the time and his high quality work. He doesn't push for anything further when unnecessary. I have to say his price is not cheap but reasonable for the whole service provided. Highly recommended. So professional !

Very professional! We dealt with a shady vendor and after multiple horrible visits we finally got Davila to come out and actually find the issue instead of throwing darts. Everything was explained, and he took the time to communicate instead of rushing in and rushing out. Great customer service and results. I HIGHLY recommend Davila Plumbing!

I'm writing this review in hopes that no one else becomes a victim of davila plumbing company.

We contacted them because of the great reviews on Yelp to install a new toilet. For a plumber that should be a walk in the park right? Not for davila. After installing our new toilet, a couple months later there was a small leak in our kitchen ceiling. We had them come out again in the plumber said it was because of a faulty toilet. So we contacted the toilet company , who sent us a new one and he reinstalled it.

We thought everything was over until a couple weeks ago when I was luckily working from home and all of a sudden splashes of water came pouring down from ours kitchen ceiling. I called other plumbing companies and everyone who came to inspect said that the toilet had been leaking this entire time because it was installed incorrectly. The plumbers who repaired the leak said that the wax seal was not done properly and there should have been two instead of one so there was a big space between the toilet bowl and the pipe, meaning our PEE AND POO WATER was splashing on our kitchen ceiling this whole time and the water that came flooding down was part of it. SO. DISGUSTING.

When we call them back regarding this issue they told us that we are way past the warranty and there's nothing they can do about it. Um, how are we supposed to know the toilet is leaking on our ceiling until there's actual water leaking through? Luckily we have great home insurance and they will be going after davila for the repair cost of thousands of dollars. STILL, IT'S NOT FUN NOT BEING ABLE TO USE OUR KITCHEN FOR A WEEKS AND HAVING TO BE HOME TO LET THE REPAIR PEOPLE IN AND OUT.

Please spare yourself a similar saga and go with different plumbers.

Shout out to Joshua working with Davila. He was very professional, great communicator and was in an out very swiftly. His insight was spot on and his timing was impeccable. Great team at Davila. Thank you!

2nd Review from me.
For your most complex and sophisticated diagnosis and problem solving I strongly suggest contacting Luis Davila Plumbing.

He has saved me on multiple occasions on plumbing problems that others could not diagnose, thereby shortcutting time and expense

Strongly Strongly Recommend this firm

I highly recommend Davila Plumbing! Great customer service from beginning to end.
Our house needed to have the main sewer line flushed. Joshua came out to service us and did an awesome job!
He was nice, friendly, professional and very efficient. He knew his stuff. There was more work to be done than was expected but he was patient and got it done.

I have had my kitchen remodeled and am now remodeling the bathrooms. Davila plumbing worked with me for both of those projects. They do great work. My kitchen is perfect, and I know my bathroom will be, too.
I also call them for just the regular plumbing issues we all have. They respond quickly, do great work, and are affordable. I feel confident in their work, and also comfortable with them being in my house, even when I can't be there.
I hope they are always in business because they are my go to company now.

This review is for the bad communication, attitude and professionalism.
I schedule a time to have someone to come and replace a toilet. I ask them precisely to call me 20min before getting to my house. That didn't happen.
JOSHUA, the guy they sent. Didn't wear his shoe covers, he place the old toilet bottoms screws next to my tooth paste on the cabinet counter and clean the pills from removing the old toilet was clean with my own bath mat.
After asking him to move his truck out the way on the street, he refused telling me to talk to his supervisor.
Not having this company again in my home.

We rent a house. We got our sewage clogged and sewage hatch was flooded and there was *really* dirty poodle with bad smell.
So, I requested maintenance from my property management at noon, and around 5pm guys from Davila called me (twice) and scheduled the visit in an hour. Joshua came and did all the work! He was very nice, wearing mask, keeping distance, not entering home (all done on front yard). He asked just couple of questions.
I am completely satisfied by his work.
Just perfect experience - made request, got visit scheduled by phone and got all work done.

I have to update my review.

January 2020 more than 4 months after a second job for Davila Plumbing Company in September 2019, we received a credit card charge of $191.47. No heads up courtesy call. Even after we asked about, no explanation why they waited so long to charge the credit card. Only that we owe it. Now we have to try to remember 4 months ago and prove we don't owe it? What professional does that?

They have issues over there if it takes 4 month to submit a credit card charge. We will no longer recommend them nor do business with Davila Pluming Company.

Our leasing co. hired Davila to fix a kitchen leak that caused a soggy mess! I was so impressed by the clear communication Davila's owner (and onsite plumber Joshua) provided. Receiving updates and realistic expectations as we worked through red tape associated with the homeowner, leasing co. and HOA made a world of difference!

Throughout the project, Joshua worked hard and completed the job in a timely manner. He was very personable and left our kitchen clean.

Thank you for getting my kitchen back up and working before dinner time!

Initially there was a bit of a misunderstanding trying to get the plumber to my house which disappointed me. He claimed no one was home even though there were 4 people in the house in the study next to the front door setting up Comcast internet and the garage was open with my car inside.

However, the plumber made it out there that day and worked my problem to completion even though he was supposed to go to another job. Manny (our plumber) was really nice and did a fantastic job. He put in new emergency shut off hot and cold valves in my utility room and also installed my new showerhead in the master bathroom for free. He also threw in a few other free things and made sure he got us quality materials.

Though it was a rocky start, I'd ultimately call them again. He found an issue with my valve for the master shower which was nice of him to look into that for us so I guess we'll be calling them in the near future to come back. Very happy with my leak free laundry room!

Long story below. Short story is that their plumber failed to properly install a toilet. We now have close to $10k in damages and these plumbers will not admit fault or help with damages. Unethical and incompetent.

A plumber failed to install a toilet. The flush water had been leaking above my kitchen ceiling for months. We noticed water damage and the same plumber came over to take a look. He blamed the manufacturer of the toilet. We replaced the tank but not the bowl. It leaked for several more months. The ceiling caved in and fecal and urine water splashed all over kitchen. There was extensive mold. Remediation experts ran dehumidifiers and air filters to dry it all out and used chemicals to disinfect. Contractors redid the sheetrock, insulation, cabinets, lighting, paint, etc. 2.5 months later we are close to $10k in costs not including having to eat out and the electricity costs of running industrial equipment 24/7 for weeks. Maybe they have done good work for others but this is an disastrous failure.

We lost water pressure in our bathroom faucet on a Friday. With both handles turned on all the way, we could only get a trickle of water to come out of the faucet. We really needed it fixed ASAP. We received a recommendation to use Davila Plumbing Company. They were very responsive and provided great communication and customer service. Their plumber did an amazing job and put in extra effort to ensure we could have water again before the weekend. I highly recommend contacting Davila. If we ever have any other plumbing issues, they will be the first company we call. Highly recommended.

Handling maintenance issues with our numerous properties is very challenging. However, Davila Plumbing makes it easy for us to deal with all our plumbing issues (minor to major). They are just one call/email away. We can still remember when we got our emergency with a water leak. Luis, the owner is very efficient in terms of scheduling (always there 24/7) he sends out his tech right away, his quote is very reasonable, and his assessment and recommendation is an assurance that the issue reported will be fixed completely in a timely manner. The Maintenance team would definitely be a partner with them in the coming more years. Cheers to us.

I should have posted this a long time ago. But here's all the comments I got from Sergio E. I'm under the belief thats he's connected to this business (I.e. employee). Feel free to search yelp the reviews and type Sergio. The reviews mention Sergio as an employee. Feel free to review his profile as well and make up your own educated decision.

I had Luis (licensed plumber and bonded) replace my main 33ft old rusted steel water line with 1 copper from street (water meter) to the house while I was having my driveway redone. He was courteous, professional and performed some real quality work. He consistently tested each solder joint with water pressure and completed it in under four hours.

I cannot say enough about the quality of the solder joints, he also hooked up a hose bib and connected pipes to my existing sprinkler system.

I have recommended Luis to my friends and co-workers for his professional, getting the job done right first time and competitive price. He is a licensed plumber.

I was referred to Davila Plumbing and called Luis late Friday afternoon. Luis was friendly and promised he'd have one of his guys come out the following day (after a full schedule). My kitchen drain/pipes were beyond being unblocked without professional help. Luis sent Michael out Saturday late afternoon to build a clean out and hydro jet nearly 40 years of sludge/grease build up!!

Michael was very professional and knowledgeable in explaining how he was going to fix our problem. It was a longer job than he expected, but he worked right through sundown finishing the job to our satisfaction! The best part of this experience is that they didn't charge for the extra time or the distance in having to get to us -- and we paid over $600 LESS than what a couple of other plumbing companies quoted us.

Overall, Davila Plumbing ranks 5-Stars with us and we will definitely use them again. Thanks again, Luis & Michael!!

I called Davila for help clearing the line for my macerator (yuk), Josh actually had to build an adapter on the fly to fit his blowbag.

He was responsible and kept us informed as to when he would be here, a lesson other plumbers could learn.

I highly recommend Josh.

When the property manager started using Davila's Plumbing, repairs were actually made, not fumbled. Luis is so eager to please in scheduling that he'll offer to come later at night than I feel comfortable requesting, when it's a non-emergency item. Luis says that the PM contract gives him a lot of work and keeps them very busy--and I'm thinking that the gist of most of these reviews is that he's going to have to hire more staff!

Our just-fixed problem is our tub/shower: very slow drain (in spite of hair removal from the drain itself as well as the drain cover, and several applications of drain cleaner) to the point where one showers in standing water, and there is never a funnel in the water outside the drain. Lots of sludge from soap left behind, as well; and the spigots & diverter were very difficult to turn off. Imagine, it takes both wet hands to turn each knob. Same for dry hands.

Sergio found a definite obstruction a few bends down, and did what he could to clear it. It is so lovely to have shower water that drains properly! He even cleaned up some of the scum.

We ourselves hired Davila for what we thought was a leak in the washing machine, but he discovered that it was something more properly handled by the property management, and let them know.

We wouldn't hesitate to hire him again. All his staff are pleasant, willing to explain as much as you want to know about your particular reason for calling them. It's my belief, from seeing several of his staff, that everyone is bilingual Spanish/English--so are the staff at my ophthalmologist--which is very valuable. The truck has a message about beating other estimates up to 15%, so if you think you're being taken by other plumbers, call Luis.

Now if only the PM could find a replacement for the current maintenance & repair firm, on the order of Davila Plumbing, I would be overjoyed.

My experience with these guys was very positive.

My entire plumbing system was completely backed up. I thought I fixed the issue the day before but the next day the issue got worse. it was about 5pm and we were desperate to get our plumbing issue fixed. My wife called several different places and none could come out. She finally found someone and that company was Davila Plumbing.

The worker came at about 6:30pm. We both search for the main drain and could not find it. Finally he went under the house and found it leading to the side of the house. Unfortunately, I had accidentally covered up by building a cobble stone walkway a few years later... LOL. The only way for the plumber to snake out the line was to go under the house with his snake which would have costed a nice pretty penny. The worker proposed a solution, which was to connect to the main line and pipe out a new line to the entrance of the house. This would save anyone in the future from having to go under the house just to snake out the main line. It was an additional cost but in my opinion well worth it we I agreed. The plumber started at about 6:30pm and didn't finish till nearly 12 midnight. Wow, that was just awesome!

Thank you so much Davila for doing such a fantastic job. And than you so much for coming out on such a short notice.

I highly recommend these guys. Great service, great customer service, and the worker whom I forgot his name was great to work with.

What can I say about Davila plumbing but simply they are the best at what they do. Good customer service is hard to come by nowadays.
I've used Davila plumbing twice and both times they have exceeded my expectations. They have gone above and beyond.
First time was the toilet was clogged with one of kids toys. Called Luis and immediately sent one of they plumbers on a Sunday afternoon. Our plumber was Hunter. He was polite and respectful and wore the booties when he was in my house. He carefully explained my options and long story short our toilet was back in business.
Recently one of our pipes in our front lawn developed a leak so I called Luis again. Hunter was there to the rescue again. He explained what was leaking and what needs to be done. Couple hours later the leak is fixed.
I just want to recommend Davila plumbing on all your plumbing needs because the are the best at what they do. They have set the bar way way high. Hunter is the role model of professionalism and Luis he deserves to get promoted! Good job guys keep up the great work

By far the best Plumbing Company, I have ever worked with. Luis was FANTASTIC!! He has very high standards of knowledge. He listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions. He really went out of his way to ensure our satisfaction. We had an emergency at our home and were unable to use any water faucet as it would bounce back up to the kitchen, laundry room and bathroom. It was horrible and a major inconvenience! Luis was able to work with my schedule and came to my house around 4pm (same day appointment) He was very professional and came well prepared. He looked very clean and organized. He had all his tools and was wearing gloves and other safety gear. He didn't make a mess nor leave anything, very clean!! After fixing the major backup or clog through the main line, he also fixed our garbage disposal. He gave me good tips on how to prevent things like this to happen. His work has a warranty and reminded him to call at anytime if I experience any issues. I took just a relaxing shower and felt GREAT!!! Overall, highly recommended, I informed my colleagues and friends about him, for any plumbing issues.

I first wanna start this review by saying thank you Joshua who did my plumbing. He was very nice and knew exactly what had to be done. Although we ran into a leak from below the kitchen sink he was able to get the job completed by replacing the pipes and welded them with a blow torch. I have to admit I wasn't worried at all because he seems very professional. Will I refer this plumbing company to my friends and Family? YES! I will because of how well this Gentleman work ethics has shown me. Thanks again Joshua for your hard work..

I just can't say enough how satisfied and pleased I am with Davila plumbing. Specifically a shout to Manny who identified and carefully identified the cause of my leak. Manny was extremely professional and knowledgeable and with incredible skill narrowed down the problem and what was needed for the repair. Davila was also prompt with their appointment and even accommodated my schedule adjustment. I will definitely call Davila FIRST and highly

Me again...Called Davila Plumbing every day, 3times a day...NO REPLY...
I complained with the Contractors State License Board in Sacramento, 800-321-2752...
I tried his e-mail...does NOT Exsist...
I called my Assemblymember Evan Low to let him know all about this ...
I checked, Louis has a valid Contractors License, that is a good thing...BUT why does he NOT call me back again for 4 days...I have a mess in my kitchen??? Louis, if you read this...CALL ME !!!!

Michaela C.

03/09/2015 12:00:00 SA

The reason you see so many 5 star reviews is because Davila is really that good! They are easy to schedule with and have great customer service. We use them as our go-to plumbing company. Always there for emergencies and super helpful in explaining all the little details! (Luis will patiently answer ALL of your questions) I would not hesitate to recommend their services, and in fact, I have several times, and people thank me. If you're looking for someone to get the job done right (& the first time!) then call Davila Plumbing.

After another company (initials: MC) cancelled on me less than an hour before my scheduled appt, I got Luis from Davila on the line. He called me back within a few minutes and said his guy, Josh, could be here in 45 min to an hour. Josh checked out the job (install new faucet), talked a little about the connection (made for a mobile home), and advised but didn't insist on replacing them. He had the parts on his truck to update the under-sink connections. He found another issue along the way that he suggested fixing. Thoroughly explained everything, polite, mindful of tracking anything in on his boots. He again explained everything he had done after he was finished. Thanks, Josh, for a job well done! Thanks, Davila Plumbing for bailing me out after Mike Counsil cancelled on me at the last minute.

We have been experienced high water bills and we called Davila Plumbing to help us find and fix our leak. We have used Davila Plumbing in the past and they have provided excellent service! Their plumber, Isaac came to our home and was able to locate our leak problem, by digging around our pipes, going under our house and offering the most cost effective solution. We were so impressed by his professionalism and expertise! We really appreciated his honest opinion, integrity and high quality of work! Thanks Davila Plumbing for excellent service again!!

I called Davila Plumbing and spoke with Luis the owner. He was very friendly and helpful. Within an hour his employee Hunter was at my front door. He spent the day here replacing the water heater and various other plumbing related things. Hunter is an absolutely adorable young man. He is highly trained and good at his job. At the same time, he is polite, respectful and humble. Hunter is fluent in English and Spanish as well, and I find this very helpful. Davila Plumbing is moving to the number one spot for plumbers on my list. I feel so grateful I found them!

I wish more companies treated their customers as Davila does. The are professionals, caring, and most importantly honest. I have had to use them twice and both times, they were out with in 24 hours. I feel so fortunate to have found them. It's very difficult to find a company that cares and knows what they are doing. 5 stars is will deserved. Thank you,

We have worked with Luis Davila and his operation for some years now and always been satisfied - they have been out at our place for multiple things. Including a new kitchen faucet install, multiple shower cartridge replacements (I finished one, but the two others were really stuck due to corrosion), blocked drain clearing outside the house, etc..

Luis is honest, explains things thoroughly and he and his guys do good work. One time, we had a newer person from them, but it turned out to be more difficult than we expected (I had tried to remove the shower cartridge myself first and knew it might be a difficult thing to avoid braking the pipe behind the wall). i am glad the guy said that he was uncomfortable continuing and they sent a more experienced person later - I think it was Abel

Anyway, I have recommended Davila Plumbing to others, and they have also had good experiences. Luis has personally come out to help me with a blocked drain outside our house and gotten things working again - the first person I called wanted a few thousand dollars to dig our driveway up to get to the back-flow valve that needed replacement!

I have used them 4 times. Really good service. Hate it when they are busy and I have to search for other plumbers to fix emergencies. Definitely recommend them. This time I called them pretty late in the evening, their plumber came within an hour, fixed my plumbing in less than an hour. Mind blown.

My husband and I were recommended this plumber by Aimee W. Not only were they prompt in setting up our appointment, they gave us discounts we hadn't even known to ask for, snaked our kitchen drain, and replaced our garbage disposal, which has run for six months straight, no clogging, noise-making, or anything! (Our kitchen may be slightly cursed; we've had problems with garbage disposal longevity). Thanks, Aimee! And thanks, Davila!

Jeff W.

01/05/2011 12:00:00 SA

Luis is about as honest and friendly as they come in the business. Luis came over to video inspect and clear the existing roots. Throughout the process, he explained what he saw, how he was performing each task, and what looked acceptable to him. He also recommended cost saving ways to repair a few transgressions from the last repair job without sewer main cutting. Luis is fantastic and I wouldn't hesitate to use him again or recommend him.

Update: the civil engineering department reviewed the sewer lateral cleaning job that was done on the video recording and was satisfied with results. 5 stars!!

Aimee W.

01/12/2010 12:00:00 SA

I took a chance on this start-up and was beyond satisfied with their work. I was originally quoted almost $1,000 for some plumbing work from another plumbing company and this company quoted me at $375 with a one-year warranty.

Luis is the main guy and he is fantastic! He works with an ethical standard most contractors do not. My husband was out for the day and so I was home alone with Luis and his worker, George. I felt completely safe with both of them there.

I will call Luis for future plumbing/sewer work and will tell anyone that will listen to me to call them as well. I would give them 10 stars if it was available.

Able was awesome - bailed me out of my own incompetence in trying to replace a shower faucet. Noticed that my outside water shutoff was rusted out and had the time to fix a frozen sink shutoff valve after fixing a complicated broken pipes in the wall for shower.

Call Davila for ALL your plumbing needs - top service, quality, and great prices!

I called Davila back in early January because my toilet and tub were suddenly backing up, and I had two pre-existing clog issues with the kitchen and bathroom sinks that I finally wanted to get rid of. Luis is a real nice guy, he's a calm rockabilly dude who listens and explains things in detail and offers various scenarios. First, a guy named Josh (I think that was his name, sorry Josh!) came in the afternoon, and tried snaking the drains, but it wouldn't budge. The next day, Josh came back with Pickle (lol, his little brother), and Luis and ran the cam as far as they could. They found a few trouble spots, which in the end we agreed to fix as minimal as possible (for now), including digging up pipe and replacing a damaged section. Oh, and they installed a riser with a plastic cap also. They ran water for a good while to check for any more stoppages or leaks, and then ran the cam again and it looked good! Got a DVR movie of my sewer line with Luis's remarks on it, as they go down. I still have an issue that needs to be addressed, but could be put off for awhile. I'll be giving them a call once I am ready to have it fixed! Thank you guys! :)

First, I want to start by saying that am a person who typically doesn't do Yelp reviews, but in this case I made an exception. I am usually very skeptical when it comes to some plumbing companies. I have had bad experiences with many- from jacking up their quote/estimate because they can, to not showing up on time.

So, I was relieved when a family member recommended Davila Plumbing Company. Right away, I could tell this was a different kind of business. When I called and spoke to Luis, the owner, I could immediately tell that he is someone who loves his work with a passion and a pride that is rare. He scheduled me in, and even walked me through a temporary fix over the phone.

When the van pulled up, it was right on time. Wow! Right away, they were able to locate the problem and walked me through the process for repair. The rest of my pipes were throughly inspected and thankfully, another small leaking area was found before more mess and water.

Typically, in the past, I have always been nervous at this point because this is when most companies will prey on your desperation and move the prices up. Not with Davila Plumbing. I got a very fair and reasonable price, and I even decided that this might be a good point to have a couple other things fixed around the house that were bugging me.

My headaches are gone. I no longer have to stress when it comes to plumbing issues around the house. These guys are straight -shooters and I appreciate their timeliness and value. If you are a person who values honesty, integrity, and good old school fair business practices, then these ares the guys for you. If you are a person who values solid, clean work from people who love what they do, then this is the company for you.

These guys are really great! I can't say enough about their workmanship, let alone giving us the best price to repair our sewer drain. Luis and his helpers replaced my entire sewer line in two days without having to trench through my landscaping. My husband and I are very thankful and pleased at the care they took around our garden, and how well they replaced everything once the job was complete. Luis answered all of our questions, and always appeared genuine in his evaluations. He really took his time with us and we felt no pressure despite that we were unfamiliar with this type of repair. Highly recommended and very professional!! Thank you Davila Plumbing Company!

I would not consider hiring this company again. My clogged bathroom sink was snaked a few weeks ago. I was assured that the problem was corrected. Few days later my bathroom AND kitchen were backed up. I was given numerous excuses as to why this may have occurred. To my surprise my drain seemed to have cleared within a couple of days although puzzled as to occurrence. My kitchen sink is AGAIN clogged. Cannot determine if related to corrected sink problem as I have not received a return call. Can only wonder if related or caused by previous job as all occurred within few weeks of each other Was also promised 12% discount. Never made good on his word. Very disappointing experience with Davila Plumbing as lacking response and integrity.

We called them on a saturday afternoon hoping for a monday appt. Luis said he was tied up but could he come in about 2 hours. Showed up exactly as promised, got right to work, came in $40 under estimate, pleasant, professional, definitely will use them again

Would totally recommend Luis Davila to my friends. I was worried something was wrong with my brand new shower fixtures. He totally fixed it at a reasonable rate. So happy. Thanks a lot Luis!

If you are looking for an honest business that prides itself on integrity, then choose Davila Plumbing.
I got multiple quotes to install my City of San Jose approved wye clean-out due to root infiltration of my main sewer line. Davila's quote came right in the middle. The reason I chose them was because Luis took the extra time to explain exactly the issue was and how he would address them. After talking with him, I was completely at ease becasue he knew exactly how to fix the problem. The fact that as the owner, he stood by the quality his work 100% was really the reason why I felt I could trust him and not go with the lowest bid. During the work, Luis ensured that the job was done professionally in every aspect: The grass over the dig zone was carefully preserved, tarps covered the surrounding grass to protect it, he took extra care upon clean-up to return the work site original as best as possible. I was always updated on the progress of the project and given prompt timelines of when to expect him to arrive or work to be completed.
Although not directly associated with the job but important none the less was his tools, equipment, and van. Upon casual inspection of his van, it was very evident that every item had it's proper place and everything was neat and clean. The fact that Luis kept his van organized, though not directly visible to the public, only reaffirmed to me the care and professionalism I could expect from his actual work.

In short, this is my first Yelp review (although I frequent often) and I would not hesitate to recommend Davila Plumbing to anyone who asks. Words that I would use to describe this company are: Professional, organized, thorough, quality, competence, punctual and most importantly integrity.

I hope this helps you make your decision for future plumbing needs.

WOW....quite a refreshing customer experience with a plumbing service provider. I called Davila Plumbing regarding soaked front lawn....thinking that I need to get a video inspection which would lead to a repipe of my sewer line! Paul called and we discussed the problem....he went to my house...inspected the soaked area, called me asked a few more questions which led to a recommendation to dig up the sprinklers first to check the possibility of a sprinker line break before any other pumbing intervention. I asked Paul to bill me for his time, curteous and informative discussion, not to mention driving to my home. Paul would not hear of it.......he said that Davila offer free inspection and recommendations.....So, if I ever need Davila's service or anyone else asks me for a recommendation.....no doubt...I will always refer Davila.

I had a problem with my toilet backing up and Davila plumbing sent out one of their guys. It was fixed but unfortunately it happened again. Luis (the owner) called about two weeks later to find out my satisfaction. I told him that the problem wasn't fixed and he came out right away and camera'd the main sewer line for free. He was there for an exhausting 3.5 hours until he could figure out just what the problem was (we had many so it is hard to differentiate all the variables). He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He gave me a set of solutions--short term, long term, etc. His prices are all preset (showed me a huge catalog of their repair prices) so it's not like he's making them up. They are probably more than average but they are reasonable, especially considering he'd get the job done right and he doesn't seem to just be choosing the most expensive solution. He really is a very honest guy who wants his customers to be happy. If you have a little problem, you could go with a company that just snakes out the drain. But if you have a more complex problem or you have no idea what is going on, call him. I highly recommend him.
