It doesn't get any better than this people!!!  Joel & Atlas are in a completely different league!

It's no fun getting a stomach bug & then having your toilet clog on top of it.  After going to a couple of how to unclog a toilet sites...yes, there are quite a few of them out there...I plunged away, added hot water, plunged some more, felt even sicker than I had before, and just wanted to crawl into bed & leave it to me cat to deal with....but, you know how our little furbabies are....great when it comes for giving a cuddle but not so helpful when you have a water crisis.

My bed may have been calling me but yelp was a little louder.  After reading Rebecca's review about how she'd had her own plumbing nightmare just yesterday and seeing that she had such great things to write about Atlas & Joel, I immediately emailed him.  It was 12:30AM by then and by the time I fell out of bed this morning and checked my mail, I'd already received a friendly response from Joel telling me to give him a ring and he'd take care of me.

I have a fair amount of experience with these little plumbing nightmares and have called both O'Grady & Bell in the past.  I'm used to paying too much for someone to come in and spend 3 minutes to clear a toilet.  They're big companies and I'm sure their overhead is higher and that's something to keep in mind.

I called this morning and Joel answered on the 1st ring.  Hmm, that's a first....the owner actually answered the phone!   I know his schedule was full for the day but he promised to fit me in sometime today.  Less than an hour later, he called telling me he was 20 minutes away from my house.  He was here in 10! ;)  

Final results, drum roll please...Toilet is unclogged, I also have shower that drains perfectly since he did that as well.  It also looked like my my cleaning lady had just hit the bathroom when he left!  And, last but not least, how nice to feel like I've paid a very fair price for the work that was done!

In the past, I've never been able to remember which plumber I called last.  That won't happen again!  I've found my Holy Grail plumber!!  It also feels great to support a local business.  Joel, I couldn't be happier that you've bought Atlas!  Such a friendly and helpful guy who clearly cares about his customers!   I'd give him 10 stars if I could!!

Robert Ueger provides the best serivice. Quick to responce and very professional. Price is fair.

I needed to move my washer/dryer to a new location.  Sean was professional and efficient in his service and knowledge of plumbing and gas.  In addition, he took the time to be clear in explaining what he was doing and why.  Sean is personably, dependable and honest and I would recommend him to anyone needing a trusting and professional plumber.

A month or so later
My hot water heater pilot light  was not staying lite. I called Sean and told him the problem, he was able to shuffle his schedule and fit me in early the next day!

Not only did he fix the problem but he noticed the warranty was about to expire so he gave the whole thing a once over to make sure there wasn't any thing els that was about to go, so i could have it covered under my warranty, No extra charge. Amazing

We've used their services 5 times now! Honest, efficient, guarantee the job for 30 days, available the same day.

Sal and Ben gotten us out of a jam each time. They know what's up with these old-a** pipes running under our SF homes.

I called last night after our basement flooded, and Sal was here first thing this morning!

Fast response and was at my house within 2 hours. Clogged drain all fixed and would highly recommend Oakland Rooter again!

We used elite rooter service multiple times,recently we got whole house plumbing done.Geovany Rebolledo helped to do and they completed work very well.They also helped to clean everything later.Also Rebolledo helped to add drain additionally in our backyard.Really liked their services would definitely recommend them.

Keshab responded to my request quickly and scheduled an appointment to come by the home and give me an estimate. The quoted price was fair and he worked quickly and stayed in communication. I am very happy with the work and will use the service again.

Thank You Moore Home Services! I'm so glad I called you to fix my heater!  I appreciate your professionalism, efficiency and kindness. My technician Nick was GREAT and very knowledgeable. I will definitely call Moore again for my home repair needs.

Amado and his team are always responsive, and will problem solve until the issue is completely fixed. Westgate re-did our entire plumbing for our remodel. Highly recommend.

Simply great!  Not just on time (early)!  Victor simply made everything work.
Polite, courteous, and smiling (even in the rare Summer rain).  I understand
employees go thru training (people and electric).  It's such a great feeling to have intelligent and knowledgeable people working on my 1906 house.
The team - Victor, Carlos and Juan worked well together.  Even my shy
cats were ok.  Thanks for having a professional polite staff.

Ray replaced two toilets for me and did not charge me for some extra time he spent figuring out which toilet to use.  He was timely and efficient. He then proceeded to snake a drain which another plumber had told me could not be snaked.  He gave me his hourly rate, which is very reasonable, up front and his estimate for time spent was quite accurate.  I highly recommend Precision Rooter and Drain!

The hardest task in the Bay Area is to find a competent and honest plumber.

Jesus is both kind and competent. He was very responsive and asked good questions​ that helped me be better prepared which saved me time and money!
He sent a dependable and well-skilled associate to install my kitchen faucet. There is nothing worse than a very leaky faucet when you need to get things done.  With that said, there is nothing BETTER than a new fully function beautiful faucet that has a sprayer that extends from the nozzle. Yippee!

Jesus cares deeply about the quality of service he provides.

The case of the igniter firing but no fire in the hole hot water tank...came within a reasonable amount of time to take a look/access what could be the problem.
He examined the supply line, the relief valve, and control.  He noticed water in the bottom of the pan and further investigation revealed water between tank and insulation.  
Leaking hot water tank!  He then proceeded to check back with company to see what cost would be to replace and once that was done, he proceeded to explain what would be replace with that estimated cost.
Friendly, courteous, and professional - I assume it was the cost, but they will give you a discount for being a veteran.

Shedrick started by helping me try to fix the problem on my own, and then when we determined it was slightly complicated, he was over in under an hour, with new parts in hand. Half an hour later he was on his way and nothing was leaking.

Great work! Have washer/ dryer hookup done and Really happy with the proposal & result

My condo had a small leak so I scheduled the work with a plumbing company. The plumbing company I scheduled the work with ended up cancelling on me last minute so I ended up calling Avalon Services. They were able to come the same day. I was very happy with how fast they responded to my service call. Highly recommend.

Kennedy Plumbing came and performed the service I asked for. I needed an earthquake safety strap for my hot water heater. The plumber was really professional. Not only was he professional but did the job quickly since he knew I had to be somewhere. This is the plumbing service to call if you need a repair!

My dad tried to fix a small leak at a shutoff valve under a bathroom sink.  It didn't work as planned and the water for the entire house had to be shut off.

Stan, who was recommended by another plumber, showed up within hours to save the situation.  I definitely recommend Stan and will be using his services in the future.

Albert Nahman replaced my 25 year old 40 gallon water heater with a much upgraded and energy efficient 50 gallon water heater. The entire process, from coming out and analyzing the issues and providing me options, to the installation (which was done in a super professional and customer friendly manner on a very timely basis), impressed me immensely. We have been customers of the company for several decades, but this water heater installation represents a definite high water mark for us! Thanks again!!
