Best Wall Leak Repair in San Francisco CA
Plumbing Service
Joven was recommended to me from a friend at work and I am so glad she did. Over the years, Joven has helped me with issues ranging from changing faucets, fixing clogged pipes and most recently replacing a broken drain pipe. This required breaking concrete and then replacing it. Originally, I wasn't sure if Joven handled jobs this big. I am so lucky I contacted Joven. His rates for this job were significantly lower than other quotes I received. Joven and his team worked hard and efficiently to finish the job in a timely manner. He has extremely competitive rates and is honest and does not try to up-sell you. He tells you exactly what needs to be done, quotes a great price and gets the job done quickly and honestly. He will be my plumber for as long as he chooses to stay in business.

This year has been our year for plumbing issues. Between clogged and dead toilets and slow draining sinks, we have had more plumbers working here than in the past 10 years combined, probably. Last month, at Alan's request, our son-in-law checked the crawlspace under the house for dampness. He found some. Not bad, but enough that it needed professional attention. Alan researched on Yelp and found Jorge of JJ Rooter. We had had French drains put in years ago and our first thought was to have them cleaned out. Jorge came over and did that, but found that more was needed. Water was still getting under the house despite the French drains, so it was not being captured.
Jorge gave us three options for fixing it, including the costs of each and we chose to go w/ the most expensive, outside work, then added more work under the house itself. It seemed the most practical way to go. He came over last Friday w/ his crew and equipment and they worked for three days straight, including Easter Sunday, which surprised us. Rather than arriving early early, as many workers do, they arrived around 9:30 or 10 each morning, which pleased me as I'm a late sleeper. They worked until dark each day and were very mindful of the plants.
One of the sweetest things was that Jorge's wife, Veronica, came over every afternoon except Easter w/ supper for the crew, which she served out of the trunk of the car. Alan walked by on Friday and she offered him a plate of spaghetti and chicken. He brought it in, took a few bites and then offered me some. It was delicious, so good that I finished it while he was napping. When we were coming home from Nina's granddaughter's birthday party the next day we thanked her and she gave us two more plates of chicken, beef, rice, beans, potatoes and spaghetti. As we were going out that night, we wrapped and refrigerated them and they were our dinner the following night.
Most of the outside work was done Sunday night, save for the cement repair in back by the deck, which they finished Tuesday. They managed to get everything done between rainstorms. The last bit, under the house, they completed Thursday. Alan inspected the work they did and was very pleased. I was happy they were mindful of the plants. Jorge was very nice to work w/ and we would recommend him to anyone who needs this kind of drainage work done. The price he charged seemed very reasonable for the work he and his crew did.

Highly recommend!
After consulting Youtube I ran to Home Depot first thing Sunday morning to replace a faulty fill valve for the toilet downstairs that would not shut off the water and was driving me nuts (insert the sound of a running toilet here).
After an hour of messing with the replacement I hit a snag with the water line leaking at the toilet and spraying all over the place (literally!) as soon as I tried to turn the water back on. Thoroughly frustrated, I hopped on Yelp to submit a request for a quote and they were the first to respond. I'm so glad that I found them ~ initially they couldn't make it out until 5:30 pm the same day which was fine however thankfully their job wrapped up sooner and they made it to us around 12:30 pm instead. They were extremely knowledgeable, efficient and courteous. Thank you so very much! =) I'm so glad that I don't have to worry about this anymore.
Will keep them on speed dial for the next time something comes up!

I had previously used him for resetting a leaking toilet in one of my bathrooms so was hoping for this next project to go as seamless. I messaged a picture and measurements requesting an estimate for a 7x7 resin shed I needed assembled. His rate was higher than several others, but I figured if I wanted it done correctly I wouldn't go with the cheaper companies. He also mentioned that he has done several of these assemblies. After mentioning I was a repeat customer, he ended up taking $50 off his quoted range so final price was $400. I scheduled with him for his next available appointment the following weekend.
He arrives one hour late (original eta 9-10a but arrived at 11a). At 9:13a he hadn't arrived so I reached out to him, he replied saying he was at another Client's walk through and was running late. I found it odd that he didn't even bother to let me know. This is where the lack of communication started.
He arrives and seems surprised that the shed is a big one. I show him the existing concrete pad where the shed is to be assembled and placed. I let him get to work. Again, I found it odd that he appeared surprised when I had provided all detail and sizes during the estimate request from the beginning. He also mentions later on it's a two man job which leaves me wondering why he said he has done these before. Certainly he would know then.
3.5 hrs later he was done. I went to check out the shed and tested the doors. Immediately I heard the door scrapping on the concrete and saw the doors were offset and did not align properly. I started to inspect the doors to try and figure out what the issue was. I also started checking the locks and handles. Next issue I noticed is there was a lug nut wrench adapter stuck to the back of the door handle. He then tells me passively that he can't get his tool off, it's stuck. At this point I go back to the door issue and he tells me that because it's larger than the concrete pad, the surrounding pavers would need to be leveled in order to level the shed to resolve the door alignment issue. I was shocked that he wouldn't mention the issue BEFORE proceeding with the assembly. No communication at all. If this issue would have been brought to my attention I could have then made a decision to fix and level the pad out before the shed was placed there. During this time he keeps assuring me it has nothing to do with his workmanship. I tell him I'll contact the manufacturer and if there's an issue I'll reach out to him. I assumed he would say sure, if there's any issues I can take a look. No, he just confirmed again that it has nothing to do with his workmanship. I immediately got the tail light warranty vibe which is never a good sign. I then go back to the stuck tool issue. I politely told him I would prefer to not have him leave his tool handing off the back of the handle and if he needed a wrench I could see if I hand one he could use (he showed up in a small sedan not a work truck so I thought maybe he was limited with tools). Before I could finish my sentence he sighs UGGGGHHHHHHH and he huffed and puffed walking away back to his car. At this point it I was not happy. I was paying him over $100/hour and he was being super rude and did a shoddily job. He then returns with a can of lubricant spray and a tool. He sprayed it and slipped his adapter off within 15 seconds. I wasn't surprised, he lacked any type communication or effort to do the job correctly.
If he would have communicated properly from the beginning and warned me of the leveling issues I would have been more than happy to pay him an additional rate to add some pea gravel or sand under the pavers or to even return another day. Now I have to pay someone else to move the shed and level the area out. Hopefully that fixes the door alignment and gap issues as I would not want to contact him again. Customer service, communication and common courtesy are non-existent.
No tip or no further work from me. I just hope I don't have any further issues down the road ( leaks).
