Best Plumbing Services in California

Our plumbing backed up today and I looked to Yelp to suggest a plumber.  I called Letts Plumbing first and am extremely glad I did.

When I called I got right to their call center and the gal took my name, number, address, and a brief description of the problem.  After about a minute I was transferred to Shane himself and we discussed my problem.  He said we likely just had a pipe blockage that needed to be cleared and if that was it, it would be a $140 flat fee.  I asked about other charges and he said that was it (no separate show up fee, part fee, disposal fee, paperwork fee, etc).  That was fine with me and he said he could have someone at our house in about 1 - 1.5 hours.  I got a call from one of his guys within 45 minutes and they were at my house a few minutes after that.

Steven showed up with a helper and they were great.  They got right to the problem, cleared the blockage, explained how it happened, and what kind of simple maintenance we could do to prevent blockages in the future.  (Basically, once a month plug a sink, fill it with hot water, then let it drain all the way out to help keep the pipes clear).  I thought that one of the pipes might have a leaky joint and although Steven said it wasn't likely, he went ahead and put some ABS glue around the joint to make sure it was sealed without me asking.  Steven and his helper were extremely courteous, professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.  

Letts Plumbing was everything you would want in a service.  They showed up when they promised, they took care of the problem quickly, they told us how to prevent similar problems in the future, were professional and friendly, and they charged us exactly what they said they would.  

The next time we have a plumbing issue, I'm absolutely going to call Letts.

MY drain for the sink, dishwasher and washing machine clogged up. I tried myself and could not get it clear.
I yelped and got a response from Mr Reliable, they came earlier than promised due to a cancellation. Dan and Efren did a great job, and everything works now!

We were extremely happy with Scott repairing and replacing Kohler shower parts.  He is extremely knowledgeable.  It was very difficult to find a plumber able to repair this stack valve unit in remodeled bathrooms but only 10 yrs old.    We are still amazed that they work so well now!  Will definitely be recommended highly to anyone.  Thank you Plumbing Gallery for recommending.  We are 45 yr residents of W. San Jose.  

Now, buying Kohler again is another story..... never!!!

This was the 3rd time we have used Creativity Plumbing, and Joksan again did top-notch work. Today's job involved  installing a Kohler Transpose  skirted toilet which I had picked up at Lowes. This model, like other Kohler skirted models, uses Kohler's non standard ReadyLock system for installation.

Our old toilet had grout around its base, and Joksan carefully removed the grout and later caulked all around the base of the new toilet. We also had him replace the old builder-grade shutoff valve, which was on its last legs.

I paid Koksan to dispose of our old Kohler toilet, and I was very happy when he volunteered to also take away the large cardboard box from the new toilet.  This saved me from having to go at the box with a box cutter and cut it up into small pieces as required by our Sunnyvale garbage unit.

Great, prompt, professional service at a great value! I called this morning to schedule a quote for a temperature regulator problem in one of my showers. The appointment was scheduled right away. I received a text with a photo and estimated  arrival time from the plumber assigned to me. Colin arrived, assessed the problem, told me what needed to be done and gave me a very reasonable quote. He had the part and was able to complete the repair on the spot. Awesome service! I strongly recommend Colin and Barnett Plumbing.

Blossom Valley Plumbing has done several plumbing jobs for us in the past -- most recently a new water heater.  My water heater was leaking all over the garage, and they responded within 10 minutes to stop the leak.  They have always done top notch work and I would recommend them to friends.  

Thanks, it is always great to have a plumber you can count on when you need him!

I changed my 31+ year old HVAC and every one from IRBIS were very professional. There was more work than I originally thought since the duct pipes are a little too hard to re-insulate.  Eric, Hwan and the entire team tried their best to get everything done in 2 days including working late on the last day. I will definitely recommend IRBIS to others for their HVAC service.

I wanted to check if my detached garage has a working sewer line or not, but I could not find any clean out near the garage.  Hector is the only plumber who can check the sewer line from vent pipe on the roof using video camera with a reasonable price.

He also helped unclog the floor drain using various tools he brought with him.  It turned out that there is a damage/break in the drain. Hector located the damage location accurately with his video camara & ridgit sonar detection.

Hector is skilled, polite and very responsive.  I will definitely call him again if I need any plumbing work to be done.

Anar was great. He responded to request for quote quickly and with a reasonable price. Other handyman services said they will take small jobs but not true or they ask for an unreasonable high price. Anar repainted 8 exterior wooden shutters in less than 3 hours. Courteous and good quality. Will definitely use him again for other work. Thanks.

Henthorn Plumbing is by far one of the best I have worked with in the Bay Area.  As a property manager, I have worked with a good number and confident to put in my recommendation.  I had him scheduled already to repair kitchen faucet.  Mind you this particular appointment was set with one simple quick phone call, when my other 5 attempts with plumbers failed.  The day of the appointment, tenant called with an emergency hot water failure.  Both mom and toddler were home with bad cold.  Because we were in the middle of winter, I called Matt immediately and he quickly rearranged his appointments and rushed over to fix both the kitchen faucet and replaced a new water heater!  He is super professional yet with an amazing sense of human touch.  He tries to understand the scope of the problem and has a superb plan on how to take care of the issue.  Matt is very calm and his workmanship is top notch.  There is no one doubt in my mind I would work and recommend him to others. Take my word, you will not regret calling his number.  There should be more of him around!

Phil and his helper are the best plumbers I have ever used.  Not only professional, but on time when they say they'll be there, excellent work, care for your property while there, and beat everyone else's price.  If you need a plumber, I highly recommend Phil Garrison.  He also works on and installs septic systems and leech fields.  Call Phil, you won't be disappointed.

Andrew was responsive and responsible. His team did quality work for me. The EMP combination allowed consistency and accountability across the whole project. Thank you

I used Smart Plumbers to replace a kitchen faucet along with replacement of shower tub spout. The experience overall was good...I called and spoke to Mike who was easy to talk to, he had Joel the plumber out the next day to evaluate the work to be done. After seeing what had to be done Joel needed to pick up parts including faucet and came back the next day to complete the work. Joel performed this work in a timely manor and was very thorough.
The pricing was competitive. One thing I will say is if you're installing new fixtures select and purchase them ahead of time.

Quick response time to set up appointment. Friendly, professional service. Gave me my options with price estimates up front. Fixed my problem quickly.  Also answered questions about some possible future jobs. Deducted 1 star because came later than the 1 hour window of the appointment.

Very poor English, was unable to comprehend the job I wanted doing. Then told me his company was too small to handle putting in 4 copper water pipes : |

Julio and the team did partial re-pipe for my home. I am very happy with the work. Julio is polite and honest. He did what he promised. First work day for repiping, and second work day for city inspection and patching. Both the repiping and wall patching passed city inspection without any issue!

Wow! George is one of the best Plumbers that I've had the pleasure to hire! He made quick work of replacing a corroded copper pipe in my garage, along with suggesting a better way to run my water recirculation device to save energy and $$. While he was at it, he also checked the salt level in my water softener and filled it for me. George provided me with an explanation of his work beforehand, his estimate and was very neat and tidy with his work. And to top it all off he is a polite and positive person who loves his work! I highly recommend George's Plumbing Service.

Plumbing Solutions was one of three companies consulted about replacing the original sewer line at my house (built in 1954).  I chose this company for three reasons: (1) the quote was in line with the amount my general contractor told me to expect for the work; (2) the response to my initial inquiry was prompt and professional; and, (3) Ed, the representative with whom I worked, was patient and thorough explaining all facets of the job. This included reviewing in advance some common issues with old clay pipes that can be discovered when putting in a trenchless system.  Accordingly, I had a good sense of the base cost as well as a few variables.

Once I made my decision and gave the green light, the work proceeded quickly and efficiently.  Ed kept me apprised as necessary by text or phone on start times, job progress, city inspector visits, etc.  He was candid and responsive; the crew was courteous and cleaned things up nicely.  I would definitely recommend the company to friends and family should they need to repair or replace an old sewer line.

After literally 30 years of working with plumbers, I can tell you that Kratzer Plumbing is one of the best. Reasonable rates. Quick response. Prompt arrival at the promised time. Cooperative and helpful. Came in, did the job, and was done. 90 day warranty on the work. Everything you want from a plumber doing a repair in your home.

Left the tool (that came in the new faucet box) and showed me how to repair myself if it comes loose, which it often does. It's hard to find professionals you can trust - Kratzer Plumbing is one of them.

I chose bellows to help with an error my contractor made with our new sink installation.  They came and provided guidance and an estimate.  Bruce was kind and honest.  He recommended I have my contractor repair his mistakes but offered a solution if not.  Contractor fessed up to his mistakes and is working on it but I know who to call if he can't get it done.  I am having them back next week to work on several other projects due to their excellent knowledge and customer experience.
