Best Plumbing Services in United States
Ben installed my hot water heater last summer. He was very friendly and professional. He responded right away, on a SUNDAY, and stayed with it until we had a new hot water heater installed and working that afternoon. He did great work for a very reasonable price.
Yesterday, the hot water heater's t/p valve released for some reason and water flooded into the pan, etc. I contacted Ben, nearly a year later, and he responded right away. He came over first thing this morning, checked it all out and installed a new valve, just to be safe. We have hot water again and my family can rest easy.
With all of the shady characters out there in the contracting/construction world, I just wanted to share that I think I've found a real, professional tradesman who stands by his work and cares about his clients.
If you need plumbing help, I HIGHLY recommend Ben and Service Star Plumbing.

We use Ferdi - Slick Rooter for all our plumbing needs. He does very good work and is reasonably priced. He is a very nice person and is very considerate. I wouldn't look anywhere else or hesitate to contact him when I have an issue. When we first purchased our house and the first rain came our whole downstairs flooded. Ferdi came right out and helped us figure out what we needed to do to prevent this from happening again. He even gave my husband a cement saw to cut out the cement so we could do some of the work and save a little money. We ended up having to cut a deep hole and a smaller trench from the back of the house to the front and put in new sump pump and pvc pipe to the street to drain. Big job, but Ferdi made it a pretty easy fix.
That is just one of the jobs he has done for us. We are truly grateful.

The five stars are for Mo, the plumber who took about two minutes to de-clog a toilet with which I'd been doing battle (fruitlessly) for three hours. I'd been petrified that the problem was much bigger and would prove to be much more expensive than I was able to pay. Mo was an angel.
As for Arch Plumbing itself, I've got misgivings about how the company goes about assessing charges for jobs, and I don't know how much of the money it collects goes to its employees. I'd like to think that Mo is appropriately well compensated for his work, but I'm not sure of that.

I normally don't do reviews but this experience was above and beyond my expectations. To start off I had a leaking shut off under my sink and leaking main shut off. Javier from Mauro's was called to assist. He started by repairing the leak below the sink. he then soldered the main line and installed the new shut off. After he left I tested all the faucets and toilets. Our main bathroom flushed but did not refill. I called Mauro's and was greeted by a very attentive receptionist that called Javier back out. Javier returned, cleaned out the shut off valve, replaced the hose and replace a float in the tank. This fixed the problem! I was notified that they would review the situation and possibly get charged for the re-visit. To my surprise i received an email today and was told there wouldn't be any further charge. When you need a plumber, Call Mauro's!

Graham and a colleague came out to fix a crack in the pipe in kitchen and replace a bathroom faucet. They replaced the pipe under the kitchen sink. They discovered I didn't receive all the parts for the Bathroom faucet, so I ordered, and they came back two days later to install.
Both men were extremely professional, communicated arrival times, and charged very reasonable prices.
I am so happy with The Genteel Plumbers, that I have asked our HOA Board to include them as Trusted Vendors.

John Prior, you saved the day for my client last week. Just closed on a new house and boom, garage starts flooding from the drain. She called some unknown company that came out, charged her a fortune and said they snaked the drain and cleared the roots... except they didn't. An hour later it was backed up and flooding. I called John, he raced over, ran his camera through the sewer line and showed us both that all the roots were still there. Next step was running his 'warthog' root ripper right through the sewer line and boom, it was clear as day. As he was pulling out this giant wad of roots was clinging to the end for dear life. We ran all the faucets and could see and hear all the water running beautifully straight through to the main sewer line in the street.
John is the best!

Bottom line they are on time, fast, friendly, skilled, helpful, fair, and seem to be a very fair price based on my research of different plumbing companies for estimates. They just replaced my water heater today and now I have a very good quality Made in USA Bradford White brand water heater with brass drain and pressure valves (not cheap plastic) installed for less than the big box stores wanted for a mediocre water heater with their anonymous installation. Joel the plumber who came out today to do the work was patient with my questions, and did a very nice job on all the fittings and pipes and drain lines.

Great service installing new bathroom sink! My bathroom looks brand new. Installer showed up promptly and left the area spic and span. I highly recommend!

Z&Z Plumbing was great. I had a tight timeframe in which to complete my EBMUD required private sewer lateral replacement and they met it and did a great, efficient job for less than the expected time and cost. They were cautious and respectful around my property and the gas line and still completed the work in about a day.

I had a water leak due to a crack in the PVC pipe that connects to the water meter on the street. I called multiple companies, based on their reviews on Yelp, and had three different companies including Plumbing Care come onsite to provide quotes. Plumbing Care's quote was more than three times less than the next quote I received. They showed up on time, clearly explained what my options are and did an excellent job. They were very friendly and extremely professional. I doubt anyone would beat their price.
I have added them to my address book and will call them first for all my future plumbing needs.

Called Ivan for a broken hot water heater and everything went so smoothly! The heater has been replaced and working great. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Also, he takes Venmo which was a plus since I never carry cash. If I have any other issues I'll be sure to give him a call!

Such fast service! Half price of other quotes for major job... new pipes for laundry, shower, kitchen sink. Replaced broken water heater with tankless one. First visit he snaked lines, gave estimate, didn't even charge us

Alec of Flow Form is a great guy, an excellent plumber, and a reliable and honest one! Our dog loves him, and fortunately, Alec loves dogs. Over the years we've used Alec for numerous jobs, from fixing a leaky faucet to installing bidets/washlets.
He just saved us a big chunk of change by telling us we don't have to replace our crappy low flow toilet -- he adjusted something in the tank and now it no longer takes two or three flushes to get rid of certain things!
He is responsive to calls and texts, arrives on time (or can keep you posted if there's a window of time) and if just an all around cool guy! Can't recommend him highly enough!

We're a condo complex. Everett committed to doing a sewer lateral job for us. They got part way through it and disappeared. We have paid them for everything they've done, promptly. Last we heard they were returning at the end of September to complete work and we never heard from them again. They won't answer calls or emails. Tremendous disappointment, and as a result, I would not recommend Everett for anything. They are undependable, incommunicative, and I can only sum it up by saying unprofessional. If there is some hardship they are experiencing, we're all ears. All you have to do is let us know you can't perform, and recommend another service that can complete the work they started. But they did not do that. No communication at all. November, 2018.

If ONLY every issue in my house were a plumbing problem!!! That is my only complaint' in working with Emilio-- that he has totally spoiled me and the rest of my SF duplex housemates and we don't want to ever have to call and deal with anybody else! Truly, cannot recommend him enough. But if you want more details...
I have read through the rest of the reviews on here as of today, and these glowing responses for Emilio's work and professionalism are no exaggeration and totally warranted for his:
-Outstanding communication, both the turnaround of any correspondence and his overall tone/temperament make it so easy to work with him
-His dumbfounding punctuality. no, seriously. And that's *while* he's going above and beyond to make himself available on short notice and at odd hours
-Attention to detail and commitment to exploring all reasonable lesser invasive/involved options first
-Totally reasonable rates and policies
-Just a lovely person to have working in your home for any moments when plumbing issues otherwise have you at your wits end!
I have been informally managing an older duplex in SF for many years now and, to date, Emilio has worked in my house on three occasions. The first was a few years ago when a drain in our garage was backed up and flooding. I don't even recall what the ultimate fix for that was. (Emilio could probably tell you! He remembered the project when I gave him my address for the second time I had to call him, years later!) The whole thing was awful. I'm pretty sure there was sewage in our garage. Emilio came out multiple times, and staying late into the evening to finish the job. I'm so relieved that I saved his phone number (and that it hadn't changed) over the years for when I had to call him recently because of a really bad leak in my ceiling from a shower in a unit above me. He was at my house within 24 hours and had the leak fixed within 25. And now, most recently, he has just attempted Plan B in resolving another leak between bathrooms in two units. We are on Plan B and he has given us at least one more baby step Plan C before Plan D when he cuts into the ceiling of one of the units to get access to the pipes, etc. He is also clearly not just nickle and diming us. He carefully shows and explains (in ways that a non-plumber can understand) the steps and gives us the option of how to proceed and he consolidates the incremental plans into his prices where reasonable (and it's been objectively completely reasonable). These issues can be SUCH a headache and I'm just so relieve to be working with him and to have him as a plumber life-line for anything that comes up. Thank you, Emilio!

I got them through American Home Shield. First time they sent some kid who has no clue of what's going on he couldn't identify the leak or even acknowledged the leak. Had the guts to up-sell me on water pressure meter. When followed up that water is leaking they acknowledged and came in third time with some device to find the leak. Gave me a quote but never gave breakdown of the quote so that I can give it to my insurance. My general contractor opened up my shower base where T&C plumbing have mentioned there is a leak and guess what there's no leak. I have called them multiple times for no use. Please save your time and money and go elsewhere than get to have this fake plumbing company.

My kitchen sink was clogged. I checked the air gap and took apart the P trap to snake it with a store bought auger. It didn't work so I found this $77 coupon and hired Rooter Hero. I showed the service agent the open P trap (under my kitchen sink) and asked him whether he'd use an auger there or in the clean-out access. He used the access and said it's okay to leave open the P trap. He said he ran the full 75 feet of auger, then without thinking twice, flushed it with water, which flooded my kitchen since the P trap was open (he said he forgot). He did not offer to clean the mess so I had to vacuum it. Since the drain clog was not removed, he said that hydrojetting would be needed. $77 coupon price would turn into $1,600+ for hydrojetting. I declined the hydrojetting and he asked for payment even though I was worse off for his service visit. What a scam! I hired a different company that unclogged it in under ten minutes the next day using an auger at the same clean-out access. After seeing my review, the company said they would look into it internally. They did not offer to reimburse me for my out of pocket or my opportunity costs.

I had a clogged kitchen drain. The plumber that I had originally scheduled to come out called cancelled at the last minute. I called Mike Counsil and they were able to get someone out within a couple of hours. Christopher Ventura was my service technician. Christopher was professional and worked fast to get the job done.
