I called a neighbor for a referral and she connected me with Aaron's Plumbing. She told me they were amazing and she was right! Aaron was quick to respond and communicated effectively on when the services would arrive. Steven arrived on time, assessed the issue and resolved within an hour. I am delighted with the service and will keep Aaron's Plumbing on my contact list for all my plumbing requirements!

I'm very pleased with the service provided by Elite Rooter. Their price for cleaning out a drain was much less than other companies.
They texted me to let me know when they would be arriving at my house and arrived on time.
Armando was very professional. He explained why the drain kept backing up and explained the options clearly.
I went with the permanent option to actually replace the pipe. They did not pressure me and the price was reasonable compared to what other plumbers quoted for the same service. The pipe was fixed that afternoon and I haven't had any issues since then.
I will call Elite Rooter without hesitation in the future for any of my plumbing needs.

Needed my drain snaked from calcium build up. Trevin replied immediately and gave my a quote. He offered to come out the same day but I put it on hold to tried some acid to dissolve the calcium. I ended up having to go the mechanical route he was out the next morning after I called him back.

Though John could not help with my water heater issue, he is nice enough to give me guidance to get the problem fixed. Didnt try to take advantage of my problem for his opportunity to make money as some others do. Thanks.

Great job! Jaime came out to clear a blockage in my septic system. He communicated his schedule to me, arrived on time and was very professional. He gave me a very fair and reasonable price to scope and root my septic system. I am very happy with the service Fantastic Rooter Plumbing provided.
Gilroy, CA 95020
I bought a house with a septic tank of unknown location that services a small backyard cottage. My mom came to help with my newborn and stayed there, and the plumbing backed up almost immediately. I called and told able it was on septic and plumbing backed up. First they sent a guy to snake the toilet - he refused to and said tank needed to be located and pumped. He wasnt aware it was on septic until he showed up. Wasted four hours waiting for him, Able charged me for service call.
A second appointment waiting another day for camera guy to show up and locate tank. Charged again for that. I had to wait for camera inspection to finish before able would schedule further work like digging and pumping.
Third appointment waiting another 4 hours for digging crew to dig where camera beacon had stopped. One guy dug, another fixed a pipe and then stood around. I was charged for all their time. They dug up one tank which was full and called it a day, although later able people (including owner) speculated there could be another tank that they now want me to have them dig for. (When I later complained about charge for lazy guy, I was told I'd be refunded for the lazy guys time - when no refund came through in called again and was told it would have to be a credit against future services, gee thanks since this was after pumping and I was done) The one digger piled all the dirt against an old wood fence whose only support was the tree it leaned on - please think, people.
Fourth appointment waiting way more than 4 hours for the pump truck to pump the now dug-up tank. Was told it would be $375. Then I was later told $375 for first half hour and more per hour after that. They never told me they were running incredibly late and would arrive in late evening - until i finally called them at 5 pm. I told them to reschedule, they were grateful. Another 4 hour window of waiting a second time. Luckily it took 1/2 hour when they finally pumped it, so the additional charges were not an issue.
There were no shows/ rescheduling /unannounced running late among these appointments so I actually spent at least six days sitting home waiting for this company that is not presently set up to perform a locate, dig, pump job without sending umpteen different crews that are not well coordinated. All this with an infant at home and mom flooded out of where she was supposed to stay.
Fifth appointment for estimator to discuss hooking up to sewer. He ( incorrectly) told me my town would charge sewer hookup fee in the thousands, possibly 15000 and he knew of one at 40000 for a regular sized house. Between his jerk personality and frustration with this company and now this (incorrect which I didn't know at the time) fee, I started to cry. He made much fanfare of not charging me to come do an estimate. His ballpark for doing the work was very high. Instead I got the permit myself and used people recommended by a contractor friend to hook me up to sewer and the town gave me a permit with no connection fee, which he should have known is the case with a second living unit.
Abating the old abandoned septic tank proved tricky for site specific reasons. It also needed to be pumped out again because a leaking toilet had filled it with water despite our not using the plumbing. I decided to call able one last time, where I was transferred to owner Glenn. I asked about pumping (375+ again) and abatement which he priced what I thought was high at about 800 to punch holes in the bottom and fill with concrete. He asked why I didn't hire them to hook up to sewer and I truthfully told him their estimate was three times others. He said then my file said i was a complainer and to have my plumber do the abatement and hung up on me!
I called back to tell him I had paid his company thousands of dollars and was livid to be treated like this. He explained the abatement fee in greater detail as requiring an OSHA permit and seemed genuinely interested in hearing about my experience with able as detailed above. He offered me a discount on pumping and abatement (more than the credit I was already promised above for the lazy guy who it turns out got fired). Glenn said he'd come by personally on Saturday morning to look at the situation and make sure abatement is done right. It is now 2:50 pm, I have been waiting all day at home and Glenn was a no show. I have no contact number for him.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me several times, shame on me.

Shane made 2 appointments but didn't show up for either one. He did call to change the first appointment, but we never heard back from him as to why he didn't respond to the second one.

Thank you my fellow Yelpers for making my life so much easier! Being a homeowner has its ups and downs and unfortunately our water heater finally gave out. I got a couple quotes prior to finding Leo and I reached out to him through Yelp. He responded quickly and came out the next day. Leo was on time and he kept it real. No BS or upselling. He gave me his honest opinion and we hired him for the job. Since it was a Sunday he wasn't going to be able to get me a new water heater till this morning. He told me he would call me in the morning to let me know the update and again he was right on time calling me. These guys came out this morning and finished the job. He just sent me a text since I am at work and he's all done! Quick and painless. Leo is very professional and even dresses professionally. Defin recommend Leo!

3 months without a sink hooked up and they still can't get it done. Then they destroyed my sink parts I had special ordered. They work on commission so it's in their best interest to upsale everything and overcharge you. I can't recommend.
After this was posted they are working to finish my sink installation and other plumbing issues. I am very pleased with their effort and concern.

Terrible customer service!!! They worked on clearing roots from our storm drains but wouldn't take any responsibility to a leak that occurred on their clock. They sent a worker out to assess the leak, well past opening hours of any hardware store, Because the joint was determined to be weak, they dismissed any involvement, including the possibility of one of their workers or equipment bumping into the spigot/hose attachment, which they were using to clean the drains. We were told the repair would cost $375, a price any desperate homeowner will be willing to pay to get their water running again. Would NEVER use this business again!!!

This is the second time we use the service from Plumbing Connection. They always reply the questions very quick through yelp messaging. And the tech fixed our issues very well.
Union City, CA 94587
This is a great plumber! John responded right away. This is a plumber who knows what he's doing. He fixed the problem right away. John is polite and courteous. He does not over-charge. In fact, after I wrote a check, I asked him about another issue (an afterthought) which he also fixed immediately. I offered to pay him more money and he refused. I definitely recommend The Plumbers Handyman- John!!

Plumbtree Plumbing and Rooter easily earned five stars across the board from our family, especially our technician, Mario.
Our ancient bathroom sink decided to leak (on a Saturday, of course). Despite the fact that it was a weekend and he was about to view The Blue Angels with his family, Glen, the owner, answered the call. Glen was very patient and listened to my struggles in trying to explain the issue - It's a 50 year old sink with the knobs built-in to the counter and on opposite sides of the basin. After sending a few photos, Glen understood exactly what was going wrong and said that he would send out a technician, despite the fact that he only had two technicians working that day and they were pretty much booked. Fortunately, there was a technician working another job fairly close by. The technician's name is Mario and he is terrific! He arrived within the time window that Plumbtree's automated servicing tool had texted to me, wore a mask the entire time, and even put on booties to avoid any scuffs on our flooring. Mario took the time to confirm what the issue was, even showing me the defective parts and then outlined each option from least to most expensive. Since we plan to renovate this bathroom, Mario recommended the most practical and functional option. The price seemed pretty reasonable, especially considering it was a Saturday afternoon.
Because he was one of two technicians working that day and Glen squeezed us in between jobs, Mario had to leave as soon as he could. However, he never left us feeling like he was rushing or cutting corners. He was very efficient, professional, and kind. Mario even went to Home Depot to procure a replacement faucet because he did not want to leave our family of six down a bathroom sink for the weekend. He also saved us some money because he found that the valves that I had thought were broken actually were perfectly fine and did not need to be replaced. Mario installed the replacement faucet, cleaned up, and said that he would be back the following Tuesday to finish up (it was some very minor work - removing the old faucet's hot and cold knobs and then installing caps in their places). True to his word, I received a text from Plumbtree's service system on Tuesday and, yet again, Mario showed up well within the time window indicated on Tuesday.
Based on our family's experience with Plumbtree, it was easy to tell why they have such high scoring reviews... they earn it! Will not hesitate to call on Plumbtree (and Mario) in the future... HIGHLY recommended!

Jeremy was amazing!!! Our hardwood floors were cupping/cracking and we needed to get someone to our house to detect the issue before we could do any repairs. It's been raining a lot and and we were very concerned about identifying the issue before it got worse. We called a dozen people and most of them were too busy to come out. Jeremy was prompt, nice and professional. He figured out the problem right away and let us know our window was causing the water damage. Highly recommended!!

My new go-to plumber is Ramez at Quality Plus Plumbing. I needed a bathroom sink snaked (so I thought), and I needed my outdoor spigot fixed as it would spew water when I tried to connect a new garden hose. Admittedly, I first called San Jose Drain & Main (SJDM) as they had more reviews and 5stars, however, SJDM gave me a ridiculous bid and quoted $125 to snake a the sink and said it would be a separate charge to look at the outdoor spigot. I hung up and called Quality Plus - who had the same charge $125 but said it would include both issues. Best yet, Ramez was able to respond and come out same day. Fixed my bathroom sink issue (didn't even need to be snaked) AND replaced my outdoor pipe and spigot. Both for $125! Awesome!!! Coincidentally, he new my previous go-to plumber, Steve, from Alfred's plumbing who was unavailable. What a great experience.

Tony is wonderful!! He came out sooner than anticipated. Very honest and a very nice guy. We will definitely use his service for all of our plumbing needs.

Thanks Ryan and David for making the repair to our bath tub faucet! It was great to have the repair done within just a few hours of calling to set up an appointment.

Marti's Plumbing installed a property cleanout in 12/2019 and did a good job. But they never closed out the permit with the city in spite of many calls. In pursuing this, I found that their contractor's license expired in 2019. I'm not sure if the company is still around, but if they are they appear to be operating without a license/bond/insurance.

Is it normal for your toilets to bubble? Oh no, they won't flush either! The joy of a new home never ends. We contacted the plumber that we've hired to install our copper piping and she referred us to Bernard from Noah's Plumbing. He was out the next day (while we were also getting or new A/C installed) and had to climb up on our roof to snake out the system. Unfortunately the normal size snake didn't reach the problem area and he needed to call in his brother-in-law to bring another snake to reach. With his help, the problem was taken care of. Thank goodness! No more bubbling and the flushing has been consistent since. Whew! Thank you, Bernard! You were awesome!
Now... onto the next project - why don't the lights come on in the guestroom like they use to and when you throw the fuse does it not come back on?
