Best Electric Water Heater Repair in San Francisco CA
Sometimes Sunday night really is pre-Monday.
In an effort to get ready for the week ahead, I decided to take a nice, relaxing bath. Queue pre-Monday vibes. I went to release the stopper and the tube did not drain. After unscrewing the stopper face, we realized that the trip-lever stopper had broken off, leaving the drain useless.
There are not many places open on Sunday night at 7PM. Mr. Rooter was my first call. The dispatcher was friendly and understanding and told me a plumber would be in touch soon to discuss next steps.
Chris Evans called back quickly and listened to a description of problem. He was upfront and honest and said that he'd be happy to come out but the best approach would be to find a metal coat hanger and try to fish out the stopper myself. He estimated the cost for a plumber to visit would be $400+ and just as effective.
It took about 15 minutes to get the job done myself. No additional cost but a massive amount of appreciation for this business. I will be a lifetime customer and am prepared to be a referral source for anyone I know in the East Bay. THANK YOU!

Nick is not only the nicest guy, but extremely professional, reliable and skilled. I can't say enough good things about him and his crew. He is our ONLY plumber. Beyond lucky to know him...an absolute master at all plumbing issues. And a very solid dude. I can't recommend him enough...

Great job, but even better, good advice. We have an 113 year old home in Berkeley and really loved his care to our old girl. Heartily recommending him, but hope that he has time for us!

Had an old busted sink disposal unit so I called around 3 or 4 different businesses yesterday. This was the only one that was answered by an actual plumber, who was able to essentially help me diagnose the issue over the phone. They were very straightforward and at no point did I get the sense I was being had. They didn't try to upsell me on a more expensive unit and gave me a good breakdown of the costs. They arrived when they said they would arrive, and they fixed things up quickly and left. Thanks!

Stay away from Plumbing Guys unless you have lots and lots of time waiting for him to come back to fix what he didn't do right in the first place. And you cannot believe him when he sets a time. He installed a sump pump after my furnace flooded. Simple, right? $1,200. I called him at 9:00 a.m. when it failed with next rain a week later. He said he would be here in 45 minutes. After leaving many messages, I got a call back at 6:45 p.m. apologizing and saying he would be at the house at 9:00 the next morning. When he finally arrived at 1:00, he found they needed to fix installation. Said he would be there next morning. Finally showed up a day and a half later. Did job. Next rain it failed again. Said he would be there next morning. After I left several messages, a man showed up at 3:45, tinkered with it, and said it was fixed. It wasn't. When I checked 30 minutes later, found area still flooded. Made another call. Again many apologies and promise to have someone here by 9:00 a.m. It's after 1:00 p.m. I give up! I am going to hire someone reliable and send the bill for his/her services to Plumbing Guys. Probably will end up in Small Claims court. At least there I know I will be on a docket where the case is likely to come up at or near a scheduled time. And in the meantime I will have some heat in my house. Very nice guy, but you can't believe a word he says.

Our bath tub sprung a leak that rained through the ceiling in the floor below, leaving a giant hole. I reached out to a number of contractors for estimates for the work, but this company stood out in both the reasonableness of their estimate and the ease of working with them. Damon was responsive and got a crew over to my house a few days later. The crew was very professional and courteous, and did great work. Damon will be my first call for any future construction needs.

This review is long overdue - Tom at Van Go Rooter is absolutely awesome! We have a small building we manage with a few units so don't have an in-house handyman, but Tom has officially become our go-to plumber. We initially met Tom for a small plumbing job when we started to see a leak in one of our tenants units. He came over right away and was able to quickly diagnose the issue. Since then, I have been on texting terms with Tom whenever we have an issue and he has even come over on his days off. Our building has pipes from the early 1900s and Tom has been able to fix many other projects including a massive project that included digging up concrete and a large part of our garage. Tom is reasonable, fair, responsive and always presents the different type of options before giving us his recommendation. Another positive thing to mention, is that Tom has told me that Van Go Rooter is a great company to work for and that they take care of their employees - this is great to hear and very important to me!
I totally trust Tom and we will continue using him for all our plumbing needs moving forward!

Mike and his team did an excellent job installing new blinds. They did the measurement, ordering, delivery and installation. Communication was friendly and responsive. They were quick and efficient. Overall, a great value!! I'd definitely hire them for any other home installation and repair tasks. Thank you!!

My goodness, you need to use this company. After leaving messages with 2 other plumbers that were never returned, it was refreshing to have someone actually answer the phone. Even though I was a new customer and this wasn't a true emergency, they were able to send someone over within 3 hours! The toilet and outdoor faucet were fixed. The price was very fair.

I had an old style toilet supply valve that failed and didn't shut off the water any longer.
I called up a few plumbing companies and ultimately ended up choosing Arch Plumbing due to their professional service and competitive rates.
I coordinated with Martin who was very helpful throughout the entire process. He handled all the logistics of coordinating with our building operations to make sure all the documentation was in place.
Jorge showed up on time and completed the repairs in less than 30 minutes and was completely professional the entire time and easy to talk to/work with.

Excellent service and company. We unfortunately discovered sewer water in our garage this afternoon. After learning that the city might not come out for up to 24 hours (note, the city guy arrived just 3 hours later), we called seven different plumbers. R&L was the only one to answer and offered to send someone over right away. Thomas arrived about 30 minutes after the call and was awesome. He quickly went to work, cleaned out the street line and also ensured other issues weren't set to occur anytime soon. He also cleaned up the area and confirmed all the work with me before leaving. While the backed up house trap was not fun, we are pleased to find a good company to use in the future. Thanks guys!

I am so impressed.
Arrived on time. Carefully parked, not blocking neighbors.
Carefully listened to what I had to say. Analyzed situation correctly.
Looked at the two easiest routes to clear kitchen sink (other estimate didn't even think of how to do it simply, wanted to climb on roof @ 2x the price). Allowed me time to quickly clear under cabinet while he retrieved machine from truck. Brought machine up sugguested outside stairs (less steep, less mess).
Laid down moving blanket to protect floor. Was tidy.
Respectful of older generation... me. Never a disparaging word.
The price was right.
I've owned this house for 25+ yrs. Lived in one for at least 10+ more yrs. in various parts of USA so have had extensive plumber experience....
This one is superior to any I've been around. My drain is better than it was before the clogging because he did such a thorough snakeout.
I'll use this company whenever I am able.
Recommended without hesitation.

My 7 year old got a Pokemon stuck in our sink drain. I called and Ivan was able to squeeze me into his tight schedule. He was on time and fixed my drain in a timely fashion. I recommend their service. Professional, fast, reliable, and pricing was fair. Thanks again!

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

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.
