Best Businesses in California

Stephen did an excellent job unclogging a tricky downspout clog using hydro jetting. He did a thorough job inspecting all the exterior drains all the way to the curb exit.

After the first plumber said he doesn't do that kind of plumbing work.  I went back to Yelp to request four more quotes.  Elite Rooter was the first to respond.  I ended up with what I would call three jobs all in the kitchen.  Garbage disposal replaced, replacement of galvanized water pipes to copper, and prep for new dishwasher.  Martin came out, quoted the job, and finished the repairs the next day in less time than originally estimated.  3 hours instead of 5.  Also found out that I have electrical that isn't up to code so he also found an electrician for me.  

Fast, clean, courteous and nicely done.  Regarding cost....great value for the price.  Quote came out to be what I expected.  I will be calling them again!  Hopefully not too soon.....fingers-crossed.

I found Bullet Plumbing on NextDoor and called them because the company I have relied on in the past, didn't get back to me. Trevin picked up my call and was able to come out the same day!

I had a fairly simple kitchen sink backup and Trevin and his coworker (didn't get his name) snaked it for me. I explained to him my frequent experiences of having kitchen sink backups at this house and was advised to stop putting any food ie even small table scraps down the sink. This worked well for the last 3 years yet somehow it managed to backup once again.

After a further inspection under the house (which previous plumbers never did), Trevin explained where the blockage was most likely coming from and suggested a sink line replacement and an addition of a clean out, which we didn't have.

Trevin was able to come out again just a few days later to start the work.

Trevin and his coworker did a great job! Reliable, quote was fair and overall great customer service. I would not hesitate to call them again for any future plumbing issues.

I scheduled an appointment with John to look at a bathtub drain leak with water seeping through the kitchen ceiling (lighting fixture) below. He provided some estimates on the phone based on what the problem could be, showed up on time, and did some troubleshooting one by one to isolate the problem. Without cutting through the ceiling, he was able to figure out the problem with the drain hole seal and overflow valve - and re-sealed everything with a high-grade seal. In fact he found that there was no seal put in place on the drain before, which seems to be the root cause. Everything seems to be fine now, but he said that if anything leaks again to call him and at that point we might have to cut a hole in the ceiling to see what's happening with the drain pipes. I am happy he found the obvious problem without going through any unnecessary destructive or complicated route, saving me money. FYI - the ceiling does not have any damage or mold in case you're wondering. His rates are very reasonable, as others have mentioned. I will be calling him for future needs as well.

It's always tough to find a good plumber, particularly one that will actually show up to make the estimate.  We needed to do some plumbing alterations for our older home, in order to complete the installation of a modern toilet.  Fantastic Rooter was the first company to call back, and the only company to come on-site for the inspection.  Eduardo returned a few days later to do the work, and completed it for the original estimate amount, even though it took longer than he had planned to do the work.  He was also kind enough to help me install the new toilet once the alterations were finished, at no extra charge.  He was extremely polite, and took extra care to clean up after the job.  Very happy with his work.

I have now worked with Glen on several larger commercial projects. The great thing working with his company is that they are large company with the ability to execute in a timely fashion. Several of our jobs were extremely time sensitive with serious consequences if we don't meet the timeline, Glen organized his team and made it all happen not only on time but ahead of schedule. It was a pleasure working with him and look forward in working with him in the near future.

Shane, being the amazing guy he is! Wasn't available to come and help me out with an issue I had today as he was booked up but he was able to take my call and text and even turned into a FaceTime just so he can ensure I was doing things correctly. Here's how today went down..
I was in the process of replacing an old toilet with a new toilet (new toilet recommended by Shane by the way)and thought it was going to be an easy job as I just replaced my other restroom toilet last week but boy was I wrong. My water line valve had been rusted and broke off when I tried to turn it into the off position so I sent Shane a text with a Photo of my issue. He called me back in less then 5 mins and walked me through a couple steps and then he sent me a list of what items to go and grab from Home Depot(sizes, names of items and pictures )to make it even easier when I went there. When I came back from grabbing what was needed he asked me to FaceTime him so he can walk me through(step by step) how to remove and replace the parts that were crucial to this job, he even walked me through how to go about Turing off the main water line and how to properly turn it back on with out busting any pipes with the high pressure.(I would have just turned everything back on if it wasn't for his tip)
Overall even though he wasn't able to come by... he still helped me out tremendously and because of that- he deserves this review and some!! Definitely my go to plumber!!!!

Leo came to fix a leaking hose bib in my backyard and he also replaced the main valve which is missing the on/off handle. He is knowledgeable and his price is reasonable. Attaching before and after photos. I will use him again in the future.

Pricey, $4500, keep shopping before committing. i got the laundry room pipes replaced due to leaks. it's quick, clean job, but need to finish the rotted walls behind the new pipes which was not planned out. May need to hire a good handyman.

Very good phone communication to schedule.  The plumber who came was courteous, did a great job with our blocked kitchen sink pipe, cleaned up nice and made sure no leaks before he left even though it was late and he had more calls to make.  Can't beat the price $88.  Others I called were $150.

Mr khan and other was friendly,respectful taking off shoes when walking into home. I showed them my clogged,backed up bath tub it was backing up whenever the kitchen water flowed. shared connection with the kitchen plumbing. They snaked the kitchen drain and test the flow from both ends, all was well. Reasonable fee, and clean efficient service. Thanks

John Wakefield saved the day!  The entire innards of my toilet tank disintegrated, practically overnight.  John replaced everything, including the inlet valve.  (I thought it might take a re-pipe (very costly), but John rebuilt my toilet in an hour. The tank now fills in 30 seconds, instead of 3 minutes! He is pleasant, honest, respectful, and very detail oriented.  I know that no one will see his work on the inside of my toilet tank, but, trust me, it's beautiful!

Glen and Josh from Plumbtree Plumbing and Rooter came out on time was courteous ,clean and replaced our water heater the same day. I would highly recommend them.
Thank you Plumbtree

I had a tiny leak somewhere on my main water line (~300'), and was concerned that It won't be detectable (hence I'll have to replace the line / very pricey and tedious process to find it). While it was not easy, Jeremy was able to find the leak within an hour. I'm very happy with his service. Jeremy was kind, honest, and professional. He's the owner of this small business (unlike other leak detection company with grandiose/catchy name that popped up on Yelp), and I was happy to support him and his business. Another thing I liked about Jeremy is that he offered an option to pay a fairly small service fee if he's not able to detect the leak, which made me more comfortable using his services. This was not the case when I called the other company.  Bottom line - I highly recommend Jeremy!

This is actually my very first review on Yelp. And I am doing this for this Shibli. I had a problem with my kitchen sink pull out faucet. We set up an appointment for 4 PM. And he set the expectation when he had to come a few minutes late. He has a super positive attitude and is very clean in his approach to the solution. He does not just fix the symptom. He goes in for the root cause.

And the best part, I had to call him the next day coz I had accidentally shut off my water heater and I did not know how to turn it back on. And he stopped by and helped me turn on and even though on the phone he quoted me a price for that job, he said Its on the house, my friend!. I insisted and gave him a tip.

Absolute professional and good to work with. Six Stars!

Second time using Tony.  First time was a Trenchless water line.  This time was a clean-out where another plumber came out and couldn't clear it (turns out he was using too small of an auger - both the diameter and length were inadequate).  Tony had it unclogged in a jiffy.  His came equipped with his fantastic attitude, professionalism and sense of humor which was very welcome considering we had gone several days with a clogged sewer clean-out line.   Showed up on time and got the job done efficiently.  Highly recommend him.

NEVER USE HR Silicon Valley Plumbers--they did a SMALL plumbing repair for me. I then had problems with my sewer line and asked them if they could repair it.  They returned and literally traumatized me.  The sewer line was in need of immediate repair, and I trusted them from the last small job they did earlier.  They shot water down the line, then used a camera to show me there was water in the line...I questioned them---Of course there's water, you just shot gallons of water into the sewer line.  They insisted the water was already there but wasn't able to show me proof when I asked for it (my insurance carrier told me, if your sewer line is under water and they used a camera, they should be able to show you proof).  I guess they figured they had a 'stupid, vulnerable customer'.  The camera and water they shot down the line was NEVER pre-approved or QUOTED.  What they did quote was an astronomical amount of money to repair the sewer line.  $50,000 to $60,000 and said, But it'll be just like having a new home We'll have to jack-hammer your patio and tear up the cement, dig up your backyard and dig up your floors in your house to get to the sewer line and replace it....I was traumatized!! and scared and literally trembling--my blood pressure was through the roof.  Then they shoved a piece of paper in my face saying I could get the charges financed.  Luckily, I had the wherewithal to call my son.  They feed him the same cock-and-bull story; he asked them a lot of details about the quote they gave me, said 'thank you we'll call you back if we decide to use you.'  We used another plumbing service with an impeccable reputation, that has done work in San Jose for more than 20 years.  The repair was less than $5,000, they located the damage to the sewer line in the front yard, and only excavated a six-foot hole in the front yard.  And guess what, there was NEVER any Standing Water in the line!!  
HR Silicon Valley Plumbers are SCHIESTERS who prey on vulnerable people in order to pump up their prices!!  Read their reviews CAREFULLY and Use them at your own risk!

Jamin was very professional, courteous, and thorough. I would call him again. Our problem turned out to require a fairly simple fix, but only a pro could have assessed and ruled out all the other potential causes and given us the peace of mind that comes with a job done right.

My brand new Rheem water heater was DOA.  After I installed it, the pilot light would not stay on.  Rheem technical support tried to troubleshoot the problem over the phone, said they would send me a replacement part, shipping the next day, and an installer would be contacting me to replace the part.  I called back early the next morning to confirm the part was shipped only to find that part was out of stock!  The Rheem tech said he would authorize a replacement work order and put me in touch with a local plumber to handle it.  This is where Bernard comes in.  He's the Rheem man for the South Bay.  Rheem gave me the number for Noah's Plumbing (Noah is his eldest son, BTW) and said they would contact me within 24 hours.  I IMMEDIATELY called Noah's Plumbing after getting off the phone with Rheem and luckily Bernard was able to squeeze me in 3 hours later.  Now how lucky is that!

Bernard started by troubleshooting the problem and found the pilot light does light but it doesn't stay on, nor does the blue light in the front of the control unit light up.  He could have waited for the part to ship and leave me without hot water for a few days, but since Rheem authorized a replacement, we took that route.  I called Home Depot to confirm they had my model on the floor.  Bernard detached the unit, put it on his truck, and he and I went to Home Depot to get the replacement.  

Within 2 hours from Bernard arriving to my house, I had a brand new, WORKING water heater in place.  The speed of service was better than I expected.  Sure my DOA Rheem tank really pissed me off, but in the end I was happy to be without hot water for only a day.

Bernard was knowledgable, personable, and just seemed like a cool dude!  He's the owner and the technician so you deal directly with the CEO, CFO, COO, and the guy that sweeps up after the job.  No BS.  Not sure if charges an arm and a leg, but at least you know you're working directly with the guy in charge.
