Best Plumbing Services in United States

I have to update my review.

January 2020 more than 4 months after a second job for Davila Plumbing Company in September 2019, we received a credit card charge of $191.47. No heads up courtesy call. Even after we asked about, no explanation why they waited so long to charge the credit card. Only that we owe it. Now we have to try to remember 4 months ago and prove we don't owe it? What professional does that?

They have issues over there if it takes 4 month to submit a credit card charge. We will no longer recommend them nor do business with Davila Pluming Company.

Water all over your floor?! Look no further than the Plumbing Guys. I called The Plumbing Guys and Aaron were quick to respond. They easily accommodated the time frame I was available and said they would send a crew out. They also were a little late but communicated it to me. We had a leaky kitchen faucet and they gave me a reasonable quote to replace and install the new kitchen faucet we purchased. They did a great job at removing the old faucet, installing the new one, and cleaning up.

We will definitely use The Plumbing Guys again if we need anything else done.

Ruben Ochoa from Alert Plumbing did a fantastic job clearing a very challenging clog in my kitchen sink.  I had another plumber come earlier in the week and he couldn't clear the clog. Ruben was professional, wore a mask and put in the extra effort needed to get the job done right! Thank you!!!

Hi-I have an update to the review posted below from a few weeks ago. After I posted it, Todd, one of the co-owners reached out to me. He said that my review was the first that he learned of the situation, and he offered to get Ariel to do the work. I appreciated his directness and Ariel came and finished the job. So I'm changing my review from 1 star to 3 stars. They still misdiagnosed my leak and I shouldn't have had to deal with all of the hassle to get the contract honored, but Todd came correct and I want to acknowledge that. Final note of constructive criticism: everyone needs to wear masks at all times when inside people's homes. I know many people who have gotten very sick from COVID and a couple who have died. This pandemic is no joke and we have to be 100% on point until we get this fully under control. Anyway, that's my update as of Sept. 18, 2020.

I've used a lot of contractors and services in Santa Cruz over the years and I've never had as bad an experience as I did recently with Aptos Plumbing. Without boring you with the details, here's the overview.

I had a leak from my upstairs shower that was coming into the room off the garage below. I hired them to come open up the ceiling downstairs, search for the leak, and fix it.

They came and opened the roof and then 2 guys sprayed water all over the floor up above and told me that water is coming out of the shower onto the bathroom floor and that's where the leak is. That was wrong.

I finally got a friend to figure out what the problem was--what I needed was to apply silicone to the perimeter of the shower and now everything is fine. Aptos Plumbing charged me $525 to cut the sheetrock and incorrectly diagnose the problem, but at least they were going to come back and fix the sheet rock. I figured all would be ok once that was done.

I called Bruce multiple times over the last month, and also texted him multiple times. At first he told me he didn't have the invoice saying that they would finish the sheet rock (how does a company lose an invoice from a couple months ago? You can see it attached below). But I had it and I texted it to him. After that, nothing but crickets.

So I'm done trying to get them to actually honor the contract in writing that they made with me. I have too much stress and other stuff to worry about. But I am reporting them to the County and warning you: DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH Aptos Business. They ripped me off. If I had extra time on my hands, I'd take them to court for the work that I paid for that they refused to do.

Dimitry walked in, took a look at the problem (leaks) and within a minute was hard at work.  All problems solved in short time. Fair price and even did a bit of above and beyond.  Plus, a great person to chat with.  All of this warrants an easy 5 star rating.

I usually don't write reviews but this time I had to! Best plumbing service I've used. I definitely recommend, he came and in less than an hour he had the job (garbage disposal replacement) done. If you're looking for a plumber he's the one to go to!

Great service! Fixed out clogged toilet/drain. Price was very responsible. Will definitely used them again in the future!

Perfect service, one of the best we had ever had. Competence, professionalism are excellent. Service was provided on time as promised and fees look reasonable. Polite and friendly attitude to the customer. Thank you very much, Adam.

Marcos and his team were incredible -- they were prompt, quickly located the leak, and managed to get it repaired in the span of an afternoon. Throughout the detection process, he explained what they were investigating and why.

Mike and his crew were great! He was clear and upfront about everything.  He came in and fixed a lingering issue we'd been having that my own general contractor couldn't. Really good work - they know their craft.

Rich did a great job fixing our leaking kitchen sink pipes and installing a new faucet.  He is professional, personable, and reasonable with his fees.  He seems to be very busy no doubt because of the quality of his work.

On March 20 2017 San Jose Plumbing, came to my house to bypass a pipe leak in the slab.  I showed him what I thought he should do and he suggested a slightly different method which I accepted.  This included cutting a notch in a wall to run a copper pipe and running the pipe across the ceiling and into another room.  I told him that the wall that needed to be notched was stucco, but he knocked on it and said it was sheet rock.  I asked him how much it would cost to do the job and he said $700 - $800.  

When he completed the work, he said the charge was $1234.  I questioned him about it reminding him he told me $700 - $800.  He said the $700 - $800 did not include materials and that the job was harder than he expected.  The job was harder than he expected partly due to having to cut stucco instead of sheet rock.

He should have told me that the $700 - $800 was just for labor initially and should not have charged more than he originally told me.  

We discussed this and he said he would agree to make the charge $800.  I thought he had changed the cost on the bill.  When he left, I noticed that he hadn't changed the price on the bill.  As he was getting into his truck I checked with him to make sure we were in agreement that I was to be charged $800.  He agreed!

Today, I received a bill for $1234.  I am disputing this amount and agree to pay only $800.  I RECOMMEND NEVER DOING BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY!!!!!

George from Miramar Plumbing has helped out us with several projects over the years, including two plumbing emergencies: shower valves, a leaking hot water heater, and a blocked drain. He's a fantastic guy. His work is always excellent and reasonably priced. Johnny, who works with him, is also friendly and professional. Highly recommended!

The Short: Nick from Plumbing 911 is the nicest, most honest and professional plumber! I would highly recommend his work.

Called Plumbing 911 to get a second opinion about low hot water flow my kitchen faucet. Previous plumber said that the water heater and piping was full of calcium build up and I needed to replace both the water heater and the piping to the kitchen for $1450.

I had already spoken to several plumbers over the phone to get secondary estimates and none of them questioned the diagnosis of the first plumber who said I needed a new water heater and piping.

After speaking to Nick on the phone for just two minutes he said that he doubted the water heater needed to be replaced and that the problem was probably in my faucet. It was the end of the day and Nick was at my house within an hour of speaking with him (6pm), within 20 minutes Nick had my faucet disassembled and cleaned, low and behold there was a small piece of rubber washer that had come loose somewhere and lodged itself in the faucet valve. Nick was in and out within an hour and only charged me his $125 service fee, saving me $1325 from what the other guys wanted to do!

Thank you Nick!

I used Warranted for the first time this Sept. 2020, chosen based on Yelp reviews, for our condo in Walnut Creek, and I wanted to say how much I agree with everyone's 5 star ratings!!!
1. One 31 Aug Mon. our condo management sent a message saying water to a few buildings would be shut off on 2 Sept. Wed, from 9am-6pm, to fix a leak in the parking lot. I asked them to confirm that my building would have its water shut off, as I'd wanted some plumbing work done which required the water to be off, explaining exactly the work I needed, and they confirmed yes, the water would be off 9-6pm on 2 Sept. They knew I'd be taking advantage of the water shut off to get plumbing work done.
2. Warranted's plumber Juan came out to our condo on 1 Sept Tues to provide a quote for a) loosening the shower faucet which had been hard to turn, and b) more importantly, adding a turn-off valve to the kitchen pipe under the kitchen sink, something that was missing in the property report check when I bought the condo last year, and which was considered a risk if the pipe ever burst, as flooding could occur. We'd agree to a 9am appointment for next day 2 Sept. Wed.
3. The next day 2 Sept. Wed, the water to the building had yet to be turned off at 9am, so the appointment was postponed to 1pm. The water was shut off to the building at 9:30am instead of the 9am appointed time.
4. Warranted's Juan arrive promptly at 1pm, fixed the shower faucet, and moved on to the kitchen, around 1:30pm. Just as Juan was broke into the kitchen water piper to add a turn-off valve, the main condo plumbers had finished their work early, and turned the mains water back on, instead of at 6pm, the original planned time.
5. Of course, DISASTER!!!! The condo flooded, water seeped through our floor down to our neighbour below. The exact thing we were trying to prevent with this plumbing work actually happened! Juan called out Edwin while the apartment was flooding. The mains water turn-off valve to the kitchen was in a different part of the building than the turn-off valve to the shower (very odd construction). We finally got hold of the main condo plumbers for them to turn off the water so Juan could finish his work adding a turn-off valve to our kitchen pipes. He and Edwin then went to our neighbor's, whose ceiling was now puffed up with water, to create a small hole to drain their ceiling. So embarrassing, but luckily our neighbor was very understanding.
6. Warranted (Edwin and Juan) then bought fans to place in both our neighbor's and our apartment, to dry out both our apartments overnight and patched the neighbor's ceiling where they'd made a hole to drain the water from our flood.
7. At the end of all this, their bill remained exactly what was quoted, for the work they did on our condo, on our shower faucet and kitchen pipes. Their worksmanship is excellent. These are people who are decent, have character, and are extremely professional. I would definitely use them again, especially as I am hoping to do a bathroom remodel.
FIVE STARS!!!!

Hire this guy! He beautifully fixed our 37+ year old shower/tub fixtures so they now work and don't leak. This included the handle (to turn on/off/temperature adjust), and the spout with lever (to direct water flow to shower head or bathtub). And he didn't have to break into any walls or tile! He also did some clearing of the drain. And he fixed a separate sink drain so the pipes don't rattle and bang throughout the house when you turn on the cold water! And he made everything clean and neat before he left:)

Honest, on-time service. Called Eddie before his planned arrival slot, he said he'd be there at 10 and indeed he arrived at 10! He gave me my options with honest insight and worked expediently to fix the issue.

I wanted to give Victor a high rating for fixing our re-circulation system. His crew showed up on time on the scheduled day and all seemed in good order when he left. However, the sensor Victor put on the system to regulate the pump was not working properly. I have called Victor three times and left messages asking him to come fix the problem. He has not returned my phone calls and, now, in addition to the sensor not working, we are experiencing increased pipe noise which Victor supposedly fixed. I'm sad to say that I cannot recommend Commando Plumbing for plumbing repairs.

UPDATE:.
Unfortunately, I had to hire another plumber to finish the job. Summary of Advanced Repipe Specialist is below:

PROS:
* They worked really hard
* Great sheet rock work
* No leaks
* All new fixtures (look and work great)
* Fast and friendly quoting; Bill was very knowledgeable and efficient

CONS:
* They abandoned the job:
 - I had to hire a new plumber after 10 months of no work
 - I had to spend an extra $3,000 to finish the job
* They promised 1-2 day max to complete the first phase of plumbing work, but it took 4 days. That was difficult because I had only scheduled two days off work to keep the house open for them to work there.
* They left trash (excess pipes, pieces) under the house. It took me about two hours of crawling under the house to clean it up, which was required to pass inspection.
* Pipes were not secured correctly. Pipes fell down after plumbers left with no willingness to fix it. Another plumber was required to fix it and pass inspection.
* Too much up-selling, when working on plumbing
* The contract says the plumber will be there for inspections, but they did not show up.
