Best Plumbing Services in San Francisco, CA

Our water heater stopped working. The heater was roughly 10 yrs old and I was hoping it was a simple parts replacement, but I suspected a total replacement might be required. I know from experience that most standard water heaters have a lifespan of 8 to 15 years.

I messaged BeastBay through yelp outside of normal office hours and got a relatively prompt reply. I believe it was with manager Dalton? Very responsive. Had a consultation appt set for the next morning.

Steve (pretty sure was his name) and another gentleman (didn't get his name) showed up punctually as scheduled and evaluated the heater. I was provided with several quotes: parts replacement, standard replacement, or a tankless water heater replacement.

Since my water heater was getting up there in age, I sprung for a total replacement. I didn't think the parts replacement would be a wise choice. Steve and the other gentleman got to work and had the unit replaced by the early afternoon.

Water heater replacements are always a punch to the wallet, but BeastBay helped smooth things out. Prompt response, punctual appointment, transparent estimates, and quick service.

I hope not to need a plumber's service anytime soon, but if I do, BeastBay will be my first choice.

Jose Alfredo and Spencer came out early Thanksgiving week for a free estimate to assess sewer issues on our property in Oakland.   They were thoughtful, knowledgeable and experienced.  (For reasons beyond my control, we ended up getting the repairs done with another company.)   I sincerely appreciate the time they spent on the property and for preparing a detailed written estimate.   Their professionalism is outstanding.   Thank you.

After calling two other plumbing companies (both too slow to respond!), I called Tromborg and spoke with Hurschel.  I told him about our clogged drain (this was just before New Year's Day), and Hurschel sent out his plumber the next day.  The plumber was courteous, worked quickly and efficiently and the problem was solved!  I mentioned that my kitchen faucet was difficult to turn off, and the plumber went out, purchased the new faucet and installed it an hour later.  All this done the same day and no waiting.  I recommend Tromborg.

I found  Nick on Yelp with his five stars reviews and he did not disappoint! We are remodeling our kitchen & needed to put in a dishwasher & garbage disposal. He always gets back to you in a timely manner & is very punctual. We also had some issues with a leek in our bathroom.
Nick & his assistant did a great job with everything! Nick is a great guy & my husband & I both enjoyed meeting & working with him. I highly recommend him & I will to anyone in need of a great Plumer.

Javen responded to my call within minutes and took care of my garbage disposal issue.  All resolved within an hour.  Service was quick and work was done above standards.  Thank you.

Greg did some fireplace gas line work for me, and I truly can't recommend him enough.

I got quotes from multiple plumbing companies. All of the rest gave me ranges (some 2-3x of what Greg gave) and gave them with the caveat that it'll probably go up once they did the work. Greg committed to a ceiling (instead of a floor) that was supremely competitive and detailed - he mapped out exactly where lines would go. He was super easy to schedule with (we texted, for those who hate phone calls) and showed up on time w 2 helpers to make it go faster. When they were here, I didn't feel the need to supervise or manage and felt very comfortable with them at home. Gives so much piece of mind to have a plumber on speed dial who you like and trust! Thank you, Greg!!

Dave came out and repaired our old boiler and was very cheerful and efficient. He got the radiator fixed and it was easy to do. He had some good advice on how to manage this old system.

Excellent job was done by Steve - owner
He explained the details of his work and get the job done on time. I highly recommend this shop.

I was looking for a plumber on NextDoor and Saul and his team came highly recommended, so decided to have Five Star come by to give an estimate. Both Saul and his receptionist were highly responsive to both email, text and phone calls, so despite having to cancel once when his whole team was sick around the holidays, I always felt everything was being done in as timely a manner as possible and I was always kept up to date.

We had a series of leaking pipes in three of our sinks, two of which had recently, very badly, been replaced by a contractor, and a welded copper pipe to an old dishwasher that had to be converted to a standard dishwasher connector. We had gotten to the point where I was just slapping plumbers putty around everything to minimize the leaking. Saul gave us a very reasonable estimate which was much lower than a few other highly rated plumbers with 100+ reviews on here. The next week Saul and one of his team came by and, after a few hours, we had three new faucets, a connector for our new dishwasher, a garbage disposal installed and new pipes.  

One of the new faucets started leaking a few days after it was installed, but Saul got back to me immediately after I mentioned it to him and sent someone out to take a look. A piece in the faucet itself needed to be tightened and the leak was completely fixed after that, and couldn't be happier.

Thanks again, Saul and team, we'll definitely be using you in the future!

This is going to be first in my list of plumbers that we dealt with this last week during a huge fiasco involving no hot water and varying estimates ranging from 0 to $900+ to get it back.

Edgar from Pipe Arts is top notch. When he pulled a blackberry out of his shirt pocket instead of a battered notepad, I knew we were in good hands.

Not only did he come out same day when I explained the situation, but he showed up with a very professional truck and assistant. They wore gloves while taking apart the burner assembly from my water heater, kept their workspace neat, and even created a tool to assist in the TLC our water heater needed.
His detective work extended to CLIMBING ONTO THE ROOF to investigate the exhaust pipe- which he discovered was incorrectly capped (not a surprise) and it was not providing proper suction to remove all that pesky CO2 from our house. (!!!)
I have the parts ordered with expedited delivery and our hot water is working for now, and we can't wait to have Edgar and his team back this week to complete the repair.

They also took the extra time to fix a botched job in our shower that was causing a very annoying and wasteful drip....drip....drip. Looking at his website and pictures I can solidly say that our needs were probably a little less fancy than what he usually handles, but it didn't seem to be an issue. I'd love to have him do some fancier work in our bathroom later this year.

In any case, this whole situation was a nightmare and we were so relieved when we got such straight answers and solutions from him. Being home repair newbs, it's so relieving to have someone like Edgar on your side. Worth every penny. And we got to pay with our Amex using PayPal!!

And off topic, but dude, Edgar is cuuute. I'm just sayin'.

I highly recommend The Sewer Master -owner Vincent Gaines. He inspected a home we are going to list for  our client.  He was the only company that inspected the sewer for Free. Everyone else was charging my clients. Vincent scheduled an appointment with me and was able to inspect the sewer without me being present. He video the sewer and it was clean. He did some research for us and found out the existing sewer exemption certificate was already in the EBMUD system.
Thank you so much for being so honest and helpful Vincent.

My client really appreciated it and so do I!

I highly recommend using Sewer Master

Piccolo Plumbing is as good as it gets! Great service, superior quality and attention to detail. From remodels to service work. I have used them a few times over the years and the experience has always been positive.

Ronan is The Bomb!

I had him out to fix a clogged toilet.  Which he accomplished in 5 or 10 minutes.  So I showed him our shamelessly leaky tub faucet.  Handymen have told me the wall would have to be ripped open and it would cost a fortune.  Ronan said that the faucet was old and that would have to happen eventually.  But meanwhile he fixed the faucet for the time being.  No more torrential leak!   His prices were very reasonable too.  And such a pleasant fella.  Count me another Ronan fan.

Gavin is professional, very responsive and gave me a reasonable quote. He arrived on time today and even helped us flush the pipe before actual backflow testing. The test went very smooth. I'd recommend him.

Luis did a great job replacing our Sewer Lateral pipe and getting it certified.  He was fast, efficient and flexible with our schedule.  His pricing is fair and he takes pride in his work.  I look forward to having Luis continue to work on more plumbing for us as we renovate our home.

We contacted multiple plumbers via yelp because our garbage disposal was broken. Bader was the only one who not only gave quotes upfront (as we requested) prior to trying to make an appointment, but ALSO gave us things to try FIRST before setting up an appointment that ended up in us fixing (i.e. resetting) the garbage disposal. That type of honesty is worth any price and I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Although we did not avail of his services this time, we will definitely be going to Bader for any future needs and recommending him to others.

The water continued to flow non stop after flashing in my Moms' toilet .. so we have to call Bill for rescue. I left a message in Bills' voice mail and He has returned my call promptly and was at my Moms' house exactly as promised. He looked at the problem and was able to fix it in 5 minutes !!! and refused to get paid for the services rendered. Normally, others will ask for a minimum charge, which I believe is very fair... but not Bill !!! My Mom was so happy not because of the FREE service but because of meeting such an honorable man with such GREAT & OUTSTANDING work ethics .
Bill deserves more than 5 Stars !!! I highly recommend Bill !!!

Julian one of the owner , excellent customer service, I was looking for my old toilet parts , he help me to call manufacturing n get too me in same day, amazing service , highly recommended
