Best Plumbing Services in San Jose, CA

This was by far the best experience I have ever had with a professional repairing my house. I needed help fast and he delivered. Will definitely be calling again if I ever need help and will refer all my friends and family. Thank you so much!

Yesterday was the third time EJ Plumbing has come to work on our old house.  3 different issues.  Each time I called I was given a same day appointment with a 2 hour time window, and was called 20 minutes before arrival.  Each and every visit, they arrived on within the window, performed a diagnosis, explained exactly what was wrong in layman's terms, and offered multiple solutions with guaranteed pricing.  Professional, personable, courteous, clean, efficient.  The prices are rock bottom considering the excellent service they provide.

Requested Yelp estimates for plumbing repair from 5 companies at 9pm & Trieu responded in 5 mins with a reasonable & honest quote. He even sent me a link of the part to buy at Home Depot (it included aisle & bin #). He came by the following morning & finished the job in record time all while wearing a mask & gloves. He also wasn't worried about receiving payment when he was done. I paid him via Venmo which was convenient.  I highly recommend Trieu for all your plumbing needs & will definitely use him again.

The shower valve in my house is very old and very little hot water came out from the faucet recently. One plumber suggested us to repipe the bathroom and replace with the new valve.  Michael called me back and describe how he valve works and suggested to replace the part in the old valve first. He came on time next day and diagnose the problem and is able to fix the problem in one hour. He is very knowledgeable and explain to us what he did. The price is very reasonable. Great service! We will definitely keep his contact for future need.

I accidentally punched a hole in a copper pipe when I was trying to install something on my stucco wall. I used the yelp quote feature and within 10 minutes Capitol plumbing (Khoa) got back to me asking for a picture so that he could quote a price.
The reply feature through my email with an attached picture of the leak bounced (Yelp should really fix this). I pinged him again and MMS'd the image to his phone. He got back with a quote and I asked him to come over. He gave a time and was at my place a little earlier. He had all the tools, looked over the various options to fix the leak and finally told me that he would have to break the stucco and then then fix the pipe. The leak was in a nasty place with very little room to work.
He did a professional job at fixing and it took him longer than he or I had expected it to take. After fixing it, he turned on the mains and checked for any leaks. He then gave me an invoice with the exact amount he had originally quoted, no hidden fee/tax etc. I was happy with his service and I paid him in check (check or cash is acceptable). He even gave me a 6 month warranty on the fix!!!

Top class service!!! A couple of my friends are already asking me if I can pass on his contact info to them for their plumbing needs. I highly recommend him and I am pretty sure you will not be disappointed. Good job Khoa!

Very fast response and arrive my home in an hour. Finish the work and save my kitchen sink efficiently. Also cleaned everything up when he finished. Reasonable prices. Very good experience.

These 5 star ratings half of them are self reviews. Pay attention to the number of reviews a person has written and if you go through a few pages, you might find them again! Same tactics lots of these Chinese and Vietnamese vendors use.
I read on Nextdoor, people mentioned that there is promised discount by this vendor for writing good reviews on Yelp.
I did not hire him, was put off by his lack of knowledge yet arrogant attitude and unprofessional mannerism.

Marco answered my call on the first ring at noon on a Tuesday and he had JR, a technician, at my house by 1:30 to assess the problem. I had a water heater leaking and it needed to be replaced. JR had a team on property replacing the water heater with excellent workmanship. Everyone I met, on the phone or in person, was delightful to work with and showed a consistent emphasis on customer service. I would strongly recommend Handy Plumbing Man.

Very good service.  I called on Sunday afternoon.  My appointment was scheduled the next day.  Came on time and got the work done fast.

One day, we woke up with no hot water and flood in the garage. I called Marlon, as he helped us few months ago with the clogged pipe. I apologized, as it was early in the morning :) - he was quick, responsive, said no need to apologize and requested me to send him photos of my water heater. Water was leaking around the perimeter. He advised to turn off water for the heater until he comes. As soon as he finished his prior appointment - he came to our house, ran diagnostics (as we suspected, water heater broke) and recommended to replace the heater. We chose tankless version (thanks, Marlon, for recommending it); he and his helper Tony came the next day and took care of the installation, re-piping to outside of the house with copper pipes (we chose outside heater placement), testing everything out and - we had our hot water again! Now, with tankless heater, we never run out of hot water with our 3-bath house :) Overall, Marlon has been super-responsive, professional, honest, great in communication and walking us through the pricing and maintenance options for various heater models; he is also an optimistic and pleasant person to talk to :) I would highly recommend him and his service for any plumbing needs you may have.

I recently hired United Plumbing to clear our kitchen sink clogging. I called them in the morning and was able to schedule an appointment for 2-4pm on the same day.

I started waiting at home from 1:30pm but the technician had not shown up when it had past 3:30pm. I sent them a text message at 3:38pm to inquire the status but did not get a response until an hour later. During the whole time period I wasn't sure whether the technician would still come or not. Finally, I was notified at 4:39pm that the technician had run late and would be coming between 5-6pm instead. However, the actual arrival time was 6:20pm, which was more than 2 hours late. While I understood delays do occur, I just wished there were more timely notifications and they had better estimates of time.

The plumber, upon arrival, worked very hard at a very late time of day (6:20-8:10). He was able to fix the problem and even replaced a short broken pipe for me without extra charge. He was very nice and hard working but unfortunately did not speak or understand English which made communication nearly impossible during the whole time. I wished that there could be much more effective communication on the clogging problem and cause.

Overall, I am satisfied with the job done but was a bit disappointed by two things - (1) punctuality and (2) communication (before and during work).

UPDATE: United Pluming has called to explain and apologize for the delay. They also generously offered to fix any clogging for free if it occurs again within one year. I am very happy about their customer service.

These guys are great.

One of the first to respond to my project request on a weekend, and we promptly scheduled the ​installation of​ new bathroom vanity -- Monday at 12 noon.

At EXACTLY Monday 12 noon, my doorbell rang. I described what I needed to be done​, and the two gentlemen got to work. It also included a Home Depot run they handled to find parts I didn't have on hand.

Shortly after they finished​, I noticed something​ was off. I emailed them, and they were back within an hour to correct the issue.

Totally pro, very friendly. I'm not surprised their reviews are 5 stars across the board. The way business should be!

We're very happy with the service we received from Steve at Local Local Plumbing. He responded to our request for quote quickly (on a holiday weekend no less), came out to inspect and estimate the same morning, completed the work quickly, and did it all at a very reasonable price. Great plumber, highly recommended!

King Kong Plumbing was fantastic! We needed a new water pressure regulator asap (current pressure was reading 110 psi! Normally it should be set 60-70 psi) and they were quick and responsive and gave a fair and reasonable quote. Once we confirmed their availability, they were here within the hour! They were quick and diligent while working and stayed to confirm the right pressure was set. Would highly recommend for anyone looking for a realiable, honest and hard-working plumber.

Professional service. Easy to work with. Responsive and effective. I am a repeat customer and all my interactions have been very positive. Charges a fair price for service. I will continue to do business with them.

Overpriced and would not recommend.  Here is my experience:
Had them come out to snake a slow moving drain through the back clean-out around a year ago ($275).  They said it didn't look like roots or other items, just a regular clog.

4-5 months later water slows again, bring them out another time.  I asked them when scheduling to do more diagnostics to see if its roots, etc.  Guy was supposed to call when he came by to discuss what he is seeing.  He just showed up, snaked, & left without calling.  I am the owner and dont live in the area.  I just get a text that job is done now pay $275 again.

6 or so months after that, slow drain again.  I say I want a camera/diagnostics to see what is going on.  They say they have to hydrojet the line first and then will camera, which is $750.  Seems expensive but say fine.  They show up and say there is something wrong with my cleanout and I need a new cleanout, which is an additional $1,400.  Total is now $2,050.  

In a timing bind so I go along with it.  They start digging out the cleanout area, etc.  Later after the job is done they call and say that a new cleanout wasnt needed, once they dug it out (maybe 3x4x2 ft hole) they could figure out how to get the pressure hose in.  I would just need to pay for the 1 hr of digging.  Seemed reasonable at first glance.  

End result: dug around the back cleanout that was only 2 ft deep, hydroflushed the line, camera'd.  Price $750 + $450 to dig the hole (and not filling it back in), so $1,200.   Pretty steap for digging a hole.  This is all on security cameras and was for 3 hours worth of work, including setup & cleanup.  Their day also included a 2.25 hr lunch, another hour where they packed up and left then came back, etc.  

Then their assessment was that my main sewer line is bad and needs replacement.  They give me a quote for that which was $18,000.  Complained about the $1,200 and they said too bad, workers were there for 6 hrs.  Maybe they didnt think I could see that only half that was actually working?  So $400 per hour, including digging a hole.  

Afterwards got work done from other licensed, insured, 5st yelp plumbers and did the following:
- replace sewer main for $6k including permits (Crown quote $18k)
- replace/improve back cleanout for $400.  (Crown quote $1,400)
- Hydrojetting quoted at two other places for $300-$400.  (Crown $750).

Our neighbor downstairs was complaining that water was leaking to his garage while we were using the shower upstairs. It's a tricky issue, as we did not see any leak in our bathroom, but we thought something was wrong, maybe the pipes burst inside the wall ?! We called around couple places, and Right Plumbing was the most responsive and came with the most reasonable quote to investigate into the problem.

Ed first came and had to cut open a small area of the garage ceiling of our neighbor, and confirmed the shower in our upstairs unit was causing the leak. As we did not see any leak in the bathroom, he suggested ways to fix the problem by cutting open the wall behind the bathroom so he could see the pipes and fix the problem from the back. This was before the Christmas holidays, and we told Ed we would call him back in the New Year to fix the problem as we would be away for the holidays.

When we contacted Ed in the New Year, he remembered us and the exact issue, and we were able to set up an appointment the very next day. He did cut open a hole in the wall from the back of the shower, which is actually the wall inside the closet in the bedroom. But the problem was trickier than we thought. The pipes were in good condition and showed no leak, and Ed patiently traced the source and finally figured out there are multiple areas of the leak, from the shower spout and the shower head, as well as the shower wall where the caulking had worn off. He then went to Home Depot to get the new parts, and also re-do the caulking around the tub, and confirmed there's no more leak. All these took the entire afternoon, but Ed still charged us the initial estimate despite the problem being more complicated than initially thought, and he also had to buy additional parts.

And he asked us to wait till the caulking dry out the next day before using the shower, and to double check for leaks before asking him to return to patch the wall. And thankfully we don't see any more leaks, but there are some water dripping from the spout when we used the shower head. Ed came with the tools and materials to patch up the wall, he kept saying he's only an expert in plumbing but not the wall repair, but we think he did an excellent job. As this is the wall inside the closet, we did not bother to re-paint it. Ed also fixed the dripping from the spout problem for us.

We will definitely be using Ed for any future plumbing needs, hard to find anyone who's so friendly as well as thorough in the work.

Great experience all around!  Big thanks to All Go Plumbing for their work. I've been having a kitchen sink backup every 3-4 days for almost a month. I had the under sink apart myself and opened the outside clean out drain, but still only a temporary fix, so I figured it's time to get the experts out here.

My regular plumber was booked solid and so I reached out to All Go Plumbing. I really appreciate that they take calls all the way up to 7pm!  Sometimes it's tough to find time to reach a contractor for a repair when I'm working myself the regular 9-5 hrs.  I reached them for scheduling a few days before christmas around 6:30pm and scheduled for the following tuesday. The owner's brother arrived on time for pipe snake routing through the outside cleanout. He was friendly and first examined the underhouse piping near the cleanout to confirm if there were any other issues (one of which was not enough downward slope, making normal drainage not normal haha.)  He routed the pipe multiple times and encountered 4-5 blockages along the way. Then we ran the sink faucet and dumped 10 gallons of bucket water down the drain to confirm it was flushed. All Good!  

Pipes are back in action and all work completed in only 30 min from arrival to billing and departure.  I really appreciate the help guys!  Keep it up. Their number is going in my go-to contractor list.

3rd time using AAA/Khan's service for plumbing issues (this time to fix front yard sprinklers/water line). Always very responsive, dependable, and they get the job done. For your plumbing needs in Fremont/The Valley - look no further than AAA!

The job was done and everything works. But I think we were way overcharged for the job that was done. The customer service sucked!. It took 10 mins and we were charged 125$. And got a quote for another job which we decided to pass on.
