Best Toilet Repair in San Francisco CA

Very professional and efficient. Mitchell Stever was great with my emergency repair. Ask for Mitchell Stever by name for great service. I have my water up and running within  couple of hours.

Mr. Rooter (Oakland) plumbing provided excellent service on two occasions. First, Spencer, the owner of this franchise, responded within hours to my backed up sewer lateral. He informed me that Albany City fixes this for free. He personally knew the City person responsible and he called on my behalf to order the repair. The City workers arrived the next day and fixed the problem for free! On another occasion, our garbage disposal failed. I got Spencer on the phone and he suggested an appropriate brand and model to replace it. I also asked for a new kitchen faucet, and he immediately recommended a faucet that we have loved. The plumber who arrived to replace our garbage disposal and faucet, named Alex, could not have been better. He was punctual, thoughtful, well informed, friendly and fast. He was thoroughly professional, and the work he did was excellent. I will definitely be calling Mr. Rooter of Oakland for my future plumbing needs.

We had last used Tromborg Royal 2 years ago. At that time their work was skillful and their price very reasonable.
This morning I left two messages for Stanley, received no response, and around midday made arrangements with a different plumber.

We have used Advanced Plumbing several times over the years, always with excellent results.  Recently, Brian helped us with several issues, and he was great.  In a very short time, he resolved some issues with water pressure in the house  and inconsistent hot water temperature.  Advance Plumbing, and especially Brian, are highly recommended.

I needed to have a handheld shower installed in a bathtub for my elderly mother, and Joven came out very quickly and did a fantastic job. He was very polite and accommodating, and great at communication via text... even sending me a photo of the finished job since I couldn't be there. I would highly recommend him. We will definitely use him for future plumbing needs. Thank you, Joven!

I highly recommend Gregg and Garcia plumbing! I needed a new gas line installed for a gas insert fireplace, reached out to the 3 gas plumbers that O'Kells fireplace had recommended and Gregg came back with the best quote, quite a bit lower than the highest.  

He was prompt with his initial inspection appointment and installation day, very efficient, finishing a couple hours before I thought he would. Passed inspection the next day with the inspector commenting that Gregg's work is so good, he barely needs to check it.   Would definitely hire again.

I noticed my pilot light went out late in the evening and I was unable to re-light it. I called several plumbing companies and they were not able to come until two days after or they never returned my call after leaving voicemails. I called Luis he answered promptly and he was able to come out to my home the next day at 7:00AM. Unfortunately the water heater was near the end of its service life and even if parts were replaced the water heater would likely fail again within a couple of months.

Luis was informative and gave us two options that we could go down and let us make the decision. No pressure at all from Luis and we decided to replace the water heater.

The installation of the new water heater and removal of the old water heater was smooth, fast and clean. I really appreciate the swift and professional work they performed.

I highly recommend Luis if you want a professional install!

Bader is amazing! I reached out to several potential service providers through Yelp! for some work on my parents' house. I needed someone to install, tape, and mud a fair amount of drywall; to install kitchen appliances; and to install kitchen cabinets. Many of the service providers were not interested in providing me with an in-person estimate. Bader, on the other hand, came out to the house and provided me with a great price for everything. His communication, professionalism, and work product are all fantastic. I will gladly recommend him to anyone Loki g for a reliable, efficient, and skilled handyman!

I Had the HC crew (Brad Jr., Jose, Kevin) out this past week for a number of jobs - new water piping to the street, emergency shut-off valve for water and gas, new top for an odd water heater flue, new work to have the tub fill, dryer hose. They came with a good work attitude, and cleaned up as needed, even the lawn area that had to be dug up. They even threw in a new contraption to stop the toilet from groaning. They came in at the lowest bid, but the work couldn't have been better. Happy with the experience and the crew.

I was looking for a plumber on NextDoor and Saul and his team came highly recommended, so decided to have Five Star come by to give an estimate. Both Saul and his receptionist were highly responsive to both email, text and phone calls, so despite having to cancel once when his whole team was sick around the holidays, I always felt everything was being done in as timely a manner as possible and I was always kept up to date.

We had a series of leaking pipes in three of our sinks, two of which had recently, very badly, been replaced by a contractor, and a welded copper pipe to an old dishwasher that had to be converted to a standard dishwasher connector. We had gotten to the point where I was just slapping plumbers putty around everything to minimize the leaking. Saul gave us a very reasonable estimate which was much lower than a few other highly rated plumbers with 100+ reviews on here. The next week Saul and one of his team came by and, after a few hours, we had three new faucets, a connector for our new dishwasher, a garbage disposal installed and new pipes.  

One of the new faucets started leaking a few days after it was installed, but Saul got back to me immediately after I mentioned it to him and sent someone out to take a look. A piece in the faucet itself needed to be tightened and the leak was completely fixed after that, and couldn't be happier.

Thanks again, Saul and team, we'll definitely be using you in the future!

Updating my post (since deleted) from yesterday. I was able to reach Pipe Arts this morning, and quite wonderfully for me, he's going to be able to come and work on Christmas Day, which is the only day I have off (I don't celebrate). I am beyond happy, as we have some extremely pressing situations which need attention (not emergencies, just SUPER annoying!). I'll report back after his visit. I feel quite sure it will be a positive report.

Do yourself a favor: Zayah is the real deal. Totally skilled, Honest, fair pricing!! Found solution, fixed plumbing, saved me time and $$$. Adept. Win-win.

Called about a dishwasher drain issue and not sure if I needed a plumber or some other kind of technician. I explained all the details over the phone and Jac was awesome! She explained that dishwashers were not her thing, but suggested one possible problem and offered to come trouble shoot if needed.

Got off the phone and checked out her suggestions. Ding Ding Ding bonus points, she got it right! I am fairly handy myself, so I tackled the problem and now everything is working great!

Five stars because she helped me understand the problem over the phone with no charge or waste of anyone's time. In my book that's rock star!

Thank you Jac!

Erik showed up on time and fixed the leaking shower faucet quickly.  Highly recommended for any plumbing issues in the area.

Ben was great to work with. We had him come out to help replace a garbage disposal unit. He was the fastest to give me an available slot within the next 24h out of 5 other handymen on Yelp and was easy and smooth to communicate with via text. He was knowledgeable at the job and very efficient at getting the work done, as well as fastidious e.g. during tidyup. I would recommend Ben!

Manny and Isaac came out, quickly and accurately worked out what was going on with the leaking pipe under our drive, did a great job of repairing the pipe (an old metal pipe which another company said 'could not' be fixed but would have to be replaced) and were great communicators throughout the process. We were very happy!

We were trying to get a refrigerator delivered but found out that our valve was broken and needed a plumber to come ASAP.

Alansi was amazing, even helped identify the problem through pictures, so we were able to figure out what was happening--something a lot of plumbers won't do over the phone, and instead will say they can't give you a price/diagnosis unless they're on scene, but there's a $$ charge to go out and inspect it

They were even able to schedule us an appointment within the hour! Just great. If I could score more than 5 I would. Hopefully won't need a plumber again anytime soon, but if I do, definitely calling Alansi's again!

My water heater stopped working due to a failed gas control valve. Andre from Oakland Rooter came, saw, and promptly fixed. Reliable service, reasonable rates, nice folks. Would use again.

Gene from Advanced Trenchless was fantastic. He was knowledgeable and performed an excellent job repairing our plumbing issue. The repair price was very reasonable. I would highly recommend Advanced Trenchless.

I have used Heise's Plumbing for many years at my rental house in San Francisco.  They were my go-to local SF plumber.  My last three encounters with them, however,  were bad.  I think this coincides with the previous owner, Dave, leaving and new owners are now in place.

First encounter last year:  The lady renter said two workers came to replace a faucet and were rude and condescending.

Second encounter last year:  The toilet in the bathroom was leaking into the basement below.  Heise's replaced the wax ring which stopped the leaking.  However the toilet was now rocking and they just placed a shim (sticking out from under the toilet), and did nor do any caulking.  I ended up calling a known to me professional plumber who had to drive a long distance to remove the toilet, install a new toilet flange, replace the waste drain piping to the basement, and to cleanly caulk the toilet bottom with the floor.  

Third encounter this month (January 2023).  I had a very bad leak from upstairs into the basement.  Estimator came out and charged me for 1.5 hours ($337.50) and said the pipe behind the bathroom sink was bad, and shut off the water supply lines.  It took three phone calls over a week to finally get an estimate without any details.  The estimate was exorbitant.  I called out my known professional plumber who did have to break through the tile wall and found that the vent pipe had a hole which filled up with water due to a slow sink drain.  He replaced all the piping (vent line, sink drain line all the way to the basement) and my total cost was one-third of Heise's cost.

I have since taken them off my list of my local go-to SF plumber and am looking for a new one.
