Best Septic Tank Repair in San Francisco CA

I needed my water heater pilot to be replaced. Was told by other plumbers I need to replace the entire pilot unit, which would have cost me over $300.00. I called Tromborg and they knew how to replace the pilot without replacing the entire unit. Saved me over $150!

I've used Tromborg for 20 years and always receive great service.

What do you NOT want 2 days before Christmas?  Your only toilet clogged, that's what!

Thank goodness for Joven, he answered my call and was at the house within an hour.  Problem solved quickly, and he adjusted the water level and flow for no extra charge.

Will definitely call on him for any plumbing issue in future.

EDIT:
Almost immediately after posting this review, Saul called me up to give me a refund for my latest invoice and offered a really sincere apology.
Honestly I'm blown away by his honesty and integrity. He's definitely earned my respect and I'll continue looking forwards to working with him and five star plumbing in the future.
With as many plumbing issues i've had the past few years, Saul is the first and only one I can honestly say i have this much respect for.

===================

I'm finally writing this review after calling Fivestar plumbing out for 2 separate quotes. I'm fairly disappointed in my latest experience after calling them back for a second job. Both Saul, and Fernando are really kind and good people to work with, so I really do not want to write a negative review (hence 3 stars), however after 2 subpar experiences.
I called them recently for a quick quote with Fernando and am currently very disappointed with the experience where he charged me $325 to give me blatantly incorrect information, and try to sell me on a $10k+ job for an issue that i've found out is free to fix.

***
Overall - i think they can do a good job on standard plumbing jobs. They charge you for a visit fee though, so i would NOT call them again for anything that i do not know the fix for or that i would not be willing to spend their visit fee amount on fixing.

Job 1: Lateral line replacement.
My HOA had this job done in winter of 2021. We had tree roots clogging up our entire lateral line to the building.
Initially Saul quoted us $12k to do a trenchless procedure and used a hydraulic press to pull a new lateral line through. They dug 2 ditches and within a few days had the new line all replaced.
The inspector came out and then told us that the fall of the line was insufficient. This is something I would have expected Saul and Fivestar to have been able to notice and address, so it was a little upsetting to hear that after already spending $12k, we were now going to need to trench up the entire thing anyways, and fix the slope. Saul then quoted us another $12k to trench up and fix the line, which we went with since we already had his team out here working on it.
We eventually had the inspector come out and give his approval. We have not had any issues since

Job 2: Tankless Water heater ignition error
I decided to call Fivestar plumbing again because I respected Saul and he seemed genuine even with the issues on our last job. When Fernando came, i explained my situation, explained what the error code was, and my assumption for what he could look at to help me fix it (replace the ignitor). He took a look at my gas line and decided that the issue was actually that my gas line to the water heater was shared with other appliances. He opened up the line so we could feel the pressure in the line - and it was perfectly fine, even though he insisted that it was low. We took a look at my neighbors line too (who hasn't had any issues), and it was exactly the same.
Fernando then proceeded to tell me that we would need to run an entire new line from the meter to the heater, and that it would cost me $10k+, but because i was a repeat customer they'd knock it down to $9k.

I just had another plumber come out to take a look (who actually does tankless water heater maintenance), and he immediately found the actual issue - pulled out the igniter plug, and showed me that it was slightly oxidized, which is why my heater would work sometimes, and other times failed to ignite. This is a free fix and i just needed to call the company for a replacement part.

Needless to say i'm pretty upset with my experience with Fernando, and that he ignored my request and charged me $325 to give me incorrect information and try to upsell me on a completely unnecessary job.

I admit, when i initially called, they told me that they do not do tankless water heater maintenance and I figured i'd have them come out to take a look anyways because i wanted to maintain a good relationship with the company. They did NOT mention that they charge a visitation fee on the call though which surprised me when I was presented with that invoice (I should have remembered).

Technician was right on time and service was excellent. We'd recommend Advanced Trenchless to anyone.

Great price for a water heater replacement . Very responsive and fast. Professional work too.

It's never fun to come home to a clogged kitchen drain, especially on the Sunday of a holiday weekend.  We reached out to a b drain and spoke with an extremely professional representative that scheduled Raffi to come to our house the same day.  Not only did Moses arrive earlier than expected but he was professional, straightforward, and great to work with.  He also walked us through each step he took, making us feel very confident in the work performed.  I highly recommend him!

Came in, looked at the job, and got it done at a reasonable cost on the same day.  The gentleman was super professional and explained the work clearly.

Very professional. Showed up in proper covid safety measures. Was able to determine the issue quick, provide estimate and get the job done fast.

We found the plumbers Paul Vanoo and his assistant at Van Go Rooter to be amazing and very professional. We had an issue with our shower where there was no cold water. Turning the handle, the water would only briefly stay warm then become scalding hot. Moving the handle, we were able to get the water to a tolerable level, but at the expense of water pressure. During their initial assessment, they offered two well-informed choices. We chose to wait for a part. It wasn't an immediate fix, but we were glad we did. The staff at Van Go Rooter consistently checked in with us to see if the part had arrived. They made us feel that our situation was important to them. When the part finally came, two members of their team came to work on the plumbing problem which made the process go much faster. They were respectful of our space, insuring a neat work area. Finally, when it came down to test the water pressure and temperature; they took the time to really make sure that it was to our liking. I'd recommend utilizing Van Go Rooter for any plumbing issues. We'll definitely do so if the need arises!

Had a stubborn kitchen sink clog that we tried to repair and snake on our own to no avail.  I called Jorge on Monday morning and he was over an hour later.  He is very polite and knowledgeable with what the issue could be and was able to use the industrial snake to clear out the clog within 30 minutes after we fought with it all weekend.  Will definitely use him again for any future issues.

Very professional and reliable would recommend 100%. Hector is very knowledgeable and honest. He came to our office to fix some lose tiles and we were more than pleased with his work. He was punctual and explained the work he did to the very last detail.

I had two leaks and a clogged sink today. Ismael arrived on time and handled it all. He was friendly, patient and explained everything so I could understand. Sabrina is always great with the scheduling also. Highly recommend R&L plumbing!

I was referred here by another well-reviewed company, when the latter plumber was sick and couldn't handle my emergency leak issue at 10 PM last night.  Z and Z wasn't open then (plumber number one told me on the phone how to shut off my water in the meantime), but when I called Z and Z this morning I got not one but two callbacks, one from the office and one from Sal, the plumber.  Sal worked around my own work schedule to squeeze me in as an add-on today, did a very thorough assessment of the problem, an interim fix, and scheduled (and me gave a reasonable-sounding estimate for) a definitive repair tomorrow.  I hope I'm as happy with the final job as I was with the visit today!  (BTW I had also called several plumbers who advertise 24/7 emergency service, and haven't heard back from them even yet..)

He sound like a nice guy on phone but I didn't get to meet him, he forgot about our appointment..I gave him one star because I had to call off work just for the our appointment

Emilio is great & very professional. super detailed & thorough. he answered any questions i had & explained every option clearly. highly recommend!!

Cesar was responsive and took the time to address the issues we had in two different areas of our home. We will be utilizing his services again very soon. Thank you Cesar!!!!

I loved working with Max. He installed a corner sink in my 1/2 bath last week. His work was amazing and we are super happy. He was clean, fast and very detailed. I'd definitely use him again.

Called because my space heater, kept tripping the fuses and I knew I needed to update the panel in our house a while ago so this was the day!
It turned out to be a huge job, rewiring the whole house plus add some plugs throughout. The estimate was significant, 10k plus, and the first guy told me he could do it all in one day and he could start the next day!
I was impressed. it turned out that would never happen. My whole house was broken open and they said they had to come back the next week.
I said, no way! I singed this quote with the guarantee of a one day job.
And after 5 calls with there sales team from the assistant to ,I think, the boss, they pulled 2 other guys from different jobs to finish everything that day. Not with one bad word, as it may sound, but normal respectful communication.
The 5 star rating is only because of these great guys who did this huge job! They worked a 12 hour day with a smile and delivered excellent work.
I would definitely recommend, but make a very clear agreement.
Eddie, Juan where the lead guys : )

Mejia's Plumbing Service replaced tubing that carried water to my ice box. Rene, owner also installed a small facet which will allow me to turn off the water supply to my refrigerator, if needed.  As soon as Rene completed the installation, I was able to drink water from the door of my refrigerator.  Additionally, after so many hours had pasted, my ice maker started making ice again.  I was very pleased with the excellent service of Mejia's Plumbing, in that, Rene presented himself professionally when interacting with me; he explained what he had to do to fix the problem; he completed the repair in a reasonable amount of time and he made sure that water flowed from the refrigerator prior to leaving.  If you are looking for a dependable and skilled plumber, I encourage you to contact the Mejia's Plumbing Company.  You won't be disappointed.

This company is a complete SCAM. Look at the previous comments. I had them come out and was hesitant about their services, my tub and shower were clogged. A guy comes out and tries to snake, said he couldn't make it past a few feet (WTF?!) He then said his supervisor needs to come out with a camera, working in Inventory in plumbing I know ALL technicians have cameras if they're dealing with a plumbing issue so that was an immediate red flag.

They then stated they had to do a hydro power clean out which would cost $1,900 from my roof to flush the debris away. The average cost to hydro power clean a sewer line is $700, the lowest is $300, the highest is $1,100 if you're LUCKY. Running this by my friends at Pace Supply & Ferguson stated this company is a SCAM & that they will literally bait and switch customers, give them one quote then redact it and claim that you need everything replaced at a ridiculously marked up value.

What this company is doing isn't only unethical, but illegal. They're going to get sued sooner than later, I will fight them tooth and nail in court because the problem I was supposed to pay them to fix wasn't fixed, thus why I refused to pay from the get go and demanded to be invoiced. Their shady practice is nothing short of vile and predatory. I can't wait until a class action lawsuit bankrupts this company and those involved are charged with financial conspiracy, especially around the elderly and vulnerable.

They recommended I get a $20,000 CLEANOUT installed. A cleanout literally on average costs $650-$2000. Anything above $3,500 is strictly commercial for larger buildings, NOT single family homes. $20,000 for a cleanout is absolutely criminal, I also noticed it's a trend on so many comments under this page that they try to upswell any update for $8,500+ or $20,000 It's interesting how these people working there think that not everyone has their expertise in plumbing. I've done inventory all over California for various plumbing warehouses & know what's right and what's complete fraudulent and unethical. I know what the prices are for every plumbing product and what the average costs is for manual labor.

After finishing the half complete job, they unprofessionally hung around my house for 2 hours, chatting and talking so they could burn time on the clock. This lead my neighbors to contact me saying they felt uncomfortable with their lingering presence. The manager was literally there during all of this, WTF?! They blocked my from exiting my driveway as their car was parked barely a few feet in front of the stop sign *illegally I might add,* and refused to move as I was backing out. They literally had lunch right in front of my house after the fact too, absolutely unprofessional in every capacity. Here's a few pictures of the lackluster job they completed.

If you refuse to pay them because of their shady services that are botched they will threaten a LIEN on your property, I'm not even joking.

Avoid this place like the bubonic plague, I can't wait until they're sued into bankruptcy. This company is EVIL, PREDATORY & UNETHICAL.
