Best Plumbing Services in San Jose, CA

Ok just to preface, this was a few months ago so the timeline may not be 100% accurate, but I think I'm pretty close... The point is, some things were not done in what we perceived to be a timely manner.

We were really excited to use Water Qualify Plumbing for some fixes on our first house, as they had great reviews on Yelp and our initial experience was awesome. Unfortunately, however, the Meh. I've experienced better. description of the 2-stars in Yelp is accurate.

Issue: Hot water would be hot for about 5 minutes, then would go lukewarm. Also, leakage by the handle as determined by our house inspection.

What we thought the solution should be after talking with people at Conleff Plumbing Supply: To replace the shower things through cutting a hole in the back.

The good: Our plumber came out and was awesome! He was on time and went above and beyond. We thought for sure the issue was with the actual handle, but alas, he replaced that and it still was going hot and then lukewarm! He determined the issue was at our actual water heater, where there was some sort of valve installed that was (A) installed the wrong way (vertical instead of horizontal) and (B) unnecessary? So he said it would be best to just cut it out and put in regular piping. So he did that and ta-da! No more problems there! Then, we also asked him to take a look at our dishwasher since again, in the house inspection, they said it was weird because they couldn't tell where the water went out.

The not-so good: He couldn't determine where the dishwasher drained, so I guess that became a forgotten issue, but he did notice that our insta-hot tap was leaking. He looked at it and told us that the unit was really nice and it would be worth replacing the broken part (filter or something?) rather than replace the entire system. He said he would take the system with him and look up the part, order it, and then come back and re-install. Well, a few days turned into a week and we called to follow up. They found that the filter we needed wasn't allowed in California (it allowed too much lead or something) so we needed to replace it with an entire new system. We asked if we could possibly get the filter in another state and then they could install it. They said no, which we understood since we didn't want them to be liable for anything, so they offered to replace it with a completely new system for a little less than what the fix would have cost initially. We said that was fine, so they said they would research it for us. Well, a few more days turned into a week or so and we called again to follow up. They brought someone out right away to install the new unit, but didn't return our old Franke system. We asked the new guy and he didn't know what we were talking about but would ask the office to ask our previous plumber. He installed the new system and it was, again leaking. It was just a busted gasket or something, but they had to come out again the next day to replace that. Of course, with no information on our old system.

Bottom line, never got the old system back, but over the course of several weeks, got everything fixed. We know we probably couldn't use the old system, but it was still ours and we would have liked to at least heard about it. Maybe it needed to be disposed of properly and they were actually doing us a favor? We'll never know, but would like to.

I think just the delay in response and need to follow-up many times was annoying. If they promised to call us back, it usually didn't happen in a timely manner so we had to continue to call them. Sorry guys, although the initial experience was good and everything was eventually fixed, due to the lack of return of our initial property and poor communication, we will be looking elsewhere the next time we have plumbing needs :(

Hi there. Excellent experience. Responded quickly to my initial request. Came to my house on a Saturday. Polite, respectful and neat. He solved the problem, and his fee was reasonable. I would highly recommend him.

I highly recommend Vic he is very professional and he did an excellent job fixing my shower valve and snaking my drain.

Replaced a water heater that was in a hard-to-access area.  Great service and great communication--easy to reach via text, and wonderful to work with.

Gregg dolling has done a good job and funny with a cool personality. I recommend it. This company is good

Fast to respond. They were flexible to my availability.  Jimmy showed up on time, gave a free estimate on the spot. Very good rate. Had my P Trap changed in 30 minutes !

We had a blocked toilet. Anthony and his team arrived and fixed the issue quickly. It was a simple issue, Antony explained in detail what causes the issue and how to fix this in future. Highly recommend Anthony.

Tino is a professional.  He fixed both my upstairs and downstairs showers because they weren't giving any hot water only lukewarm water. He takes pride in what he does and makes sure the job is done right. I don't usually have plumbing needs but if I do I would go to Tino again, he's the man!

We have had Takai reroute my shutoffs on my washer and he also replaced our main shutoff coming into the house,  also replace the pipe coming
into the house from the main, and replaced some fittings, everything he has
done has been excellent, I would highly recommend him to anyone, he is very reliable, honest and he knows what he doing!

My garbage disposal broke and the kitchen sink clogged up. Not a good thing! I called several plumbers and Agilis Plumbing gave me the most reasonable quote. They were also available the very next day. I went to Home Depot and bought a new Insinkerator garbage disposal unit. John and William came out on time as scheduled. They promptly disassembled the old unit and installed the new one. They also identified a small leak in the pipe and fixed it at no extra charge. The garbage disposal works great now. And I can use the kitchen sink again. What a relief! I really appreciated the promptness, attention to detail, friendly service, and professionalism of Agilis Plumbing. I would definitely use them again.

Twice now I've had the very BEST service!!! Great smile, kind, and so very professional. When you receive service beyond reproach, with honest and integrity, you know you've got a winner!! Thanks again for fixing my drain and toilet: from San Leandro...

Every six months I need my whole house filter changed and the cost has just been going up like crazy in the last 18 months from the dealer/installer.  After looking in Yelp, I contacted Ivan Patterson.  He was personable, on time, clean, knowledgeable and efficient!  Wow!!   Ivan is my go-to plumber from now on. Did I say reasonable ??

Alex to the rescue!! Backed into the main water pipe beside my garage (not my proudest moment). Alex answered my call immediately and showed up within 30 min. He assessed the situation, formulated a solution and away he went to fixing it. Highly recommend!!

Our water heater stopped working, A O Smith was amazing and provided us with a FREE replacement even when we were at the edge of our warranty. SPS Plumbing was assigned to the task. Their entire team was professional, communicative, and prompt. Vanessa was excellent at coordinating the project. The team that came in worked very efficiently and cleaned up. A O Smith and SPS have a client for life!

Cardinal Plumbing Solution has saved me big time! My water heater was not working so I called in and had two previous plumbers come in to take a look to see what they could do. I was quoted thousands of dollars and another one who even told me to change the entire system. Hai was very honest, extremely patient and hardworking. He took his time to figure out the problem, solved it, and ended up saving us thousands of dollars. I highly recommended him to assist you with your plumbing needs! Thank you Hai!

Our kitchen sink has been backed up for months. I began making my way through yelp in search of a specialized plumber and was put in contact with Bunnies plumbing. Adhemar, responded to all of my questions was very patient with me. When he came out to inspect the plumbing issue he was straight forward and explained everything so I could understand. Unfortunately, the plumbing issue wasn't fixed because it requires a second visit. I definitely recommend Bunnies plumbing.

Called Shawn on a Saturday morning to help fix a clog in my bathroom. He returned the call within 30 minutes, showed up 15 minutes later, and got the job done cleanly in 20 mins.
Awesome + honest guy, would definitely rely him up for all my plumbing problems.

I had a semi-urgent plumbing issue and was having problems finding a plumber to come out the day of. Charley was great at keeping in contact with me through the day and actually accommodating my small project (broken toilet lever and shower and sink that needed to be snaked). He and Matt were wonderful to work with and a pleasure talking to throughout the issue. We will use him for a future project that requires more lead time and planning. Charley is a small business owner that goes the extra mile to accommodate his customers. He has a return customer is us. Thanks Charley.
