Ehrich's Plumbing & Water Heater Repair

This father and son team is everything the reviews say, excellent work, won't try to upsell you, good communication of the task at hand, very punctual, and I didn't find them pricey either.

I used this father-son team for a small job but I really liked them. The dad seems to love people, and talking to them, while the son is all business (C'mon, Dad, we gotta keep moving.). He runs up and down stairs to make sure the leak's gone, while you can engage Pop on just about any topic under the sun. As the reviewer Julie C. said here, Gunter is like the granddad you never had. A truly warm human being.

The work was done quickly and expertly enough.  They offered alternate solutions with different price points, to save you time and money. They arrived early, which is common in the trades, but something I find mildly inconvenient, if you're coming from somewhere else to meet them. Thankfully, their cheaper solution fixed my leak, so now I'm considering them for another bigger job..

They're located in the middle Sunset and seem to know the architecture and plumbing of those old Jr. 5s and Inner Patio style homes. Probably why they can get to a Sunset district jobsite so fast.

I can't thank Gunther and Peter enough for helping me out like they have. They're prompt, fair and friendly. And they live in the Outer Sunset where I do. I really appreciate keeping the business in the 'hood. They also stand by their work.... if there's a problem, they're right on it. Highly recommend!

Fast workers! Father son team, always available and really great honest men. Mr Ehrich is very knowledgeable. Don't let his age fool you  I only use them.

What a nice guy.  I was in a bind a couple of months ago.  I called 5 other plumbers and no one was available.  Enrich was on his way home but said he'd be happy to stop by.  He quickly worked on my shower and stopped a pesky leak.  The price was reasonable for the quick work.

When nobody else would help, Gunter's son came out on a Sunday morning to fix my DIY attempt at installing an old fashioned toilet. He  also showed me how to clear the drains in the bathroom sink and shower. He also showed me how to set it up to be a low flow toilet. His service and price were excellent. He didn't try and sell me anything I didn't need. I would use Ehrlich's plumbing again.

Gunther and son Peter are my next door neighbors.  They have helped me out a number of times, both with favors and as paid contractors for a larger job.  They are extremely professional, experienced, honest and friendly.  I know Gunther and Peter take pride in their ability to respond to calls fast - most of their work is in the Outer Sunset neighborhood.  The family has lived in the same location in the Outer Sunset for over 40 years.  They have also installed about half the bathrooms on our block and we all love them - they are great!

This father-son operation is five-star all the way.  They are a bit pricey, but well worth it: they know their way around a pipe.  Besides, Gunter (the father) is like the grandfather you never had (or at least that I never had), assuring you he's going to take care of everything in a professional, knowledgable manner.

Other plumbers take note: RELIABLE!!!

Called. Got an appointment next day. They came and fixed it with no issues. Very reasonable on pricing and nice and courteous tech. Definitely recommend

Our kitchen sink became stopped up last night. I tried two doses of Drano and hot water, with no effect. Pulled off the u-joint, but it was clear. This morning I went on Yelp and noted that Ehrich's Plumbing was not far from me, and, while there were only three reviews, all were excellent.

As previously noted, this is a father and son business. Pete, the son, was at our home right on time, and he got right to work. After diagnosing the problem, he had to use a long electric snake to get the clog about 15 feet down the pipes. Done in under an hour. Paid a very reasonable rate.

To have done this myself, I would have been back and forth to Home Depot, renting first a manual snake, then back for a motorized snake, and I would've spent at least half a day. I am very glad to have utilized Ehrich's Plumbing, and I will again, when needed.

Quick response, polite and fix my bathtub in under an hour

Price reasonable
I would recommend to a friend

Gunter and his son Peter have saved us multiple times: when kitchen sink backed up on Christmas Eve, when our downstairs bathroom flooded, when we've had leaky faucets and so on. They're awesome. They come quickly, they know what they're doing. They're pleasant. Some have mentioned that they're pricey, but I think it's fair for the level of expertise and service you get.

After my sink broke and started leaking all over the kitchen, I searched on Yelp and saw Ehrich's Plumbing's five-star reviews.  I called and spoke with the father (it's a father and son team) at about 3PM on a rainy Monday afternoon.  The son, Peter, arrived at my home about 20 minutes later!

Peter took a look, found the problem, provided me a detailed estimate, and gave me specific directions on where to go buy another faucet (which saved me about an hour of labor)!  He charged me for less time than he actually spent here, and did a fantastic job.

As the owner of a beautiful home, I'm always careful about who I invite in.  Pete's personality leads one to trust him immediately, and the trust is well deserved.  He's a quality person, as well as an excellent plumber.  

I give Ehrich's my highest recommendation.

I know Peter will be running it all at some point but to have Gunter at 87 repair our hot water heater today is a true gift.  Not only is he an expert and neighborhood institution, again he taught me a fundamental home care maintenance task I will carry forever.  And I called him at 7:30 AM before work and he was there at 9.  This is our third time we have called upon Eihrich Plumbing for different needs and they are just as honest and capable as they come.  I couldn't be happier.

We had Ehrich's plumbing here twice. Once for a clogged pipe and once for a dripping bath tub faucet. Both time this father and son team was
*able to come on short notice and on time
*super nice and a pleasure to deal with
*fast and efficient
*found the best and most affordable solution for our problem
Highly recommend them!

I needed a pressure regulator. I should have known I was hiring the wrong outfit when Gunter insisted the water was flowing the other way, but I figured he'd find out when he started the work, so I didn't argue. I also should have known when Gunter showed up on the wrong day. We had an unusual pipe size, so I was just glad somebody could deal with it. $1100 later, we had a pressure regulator installed backwards and a pressure gauge measuring street pressure instead of house pressure. Pete was there during the install.

Gunter came back to fix it, and it was clear he was having cognitive problems. He reversed the regulator valve, but we called Pete in to check the work. Pete was very apologetic, and installed a second pressure gauge for house pressure. So far not great, but okay. It works, at least. We were on the hook for the damage to the wall, which was not minor.

I was going to leave this alone, and maybe give out Pete's direct number so folks won't be calling Gunter first, as he really is having issues-but then I found the broken tile. We had roof tiles stored in the area where the pipes were, and one of the plumbers had broken one and then carefully put the pieces around the corner where I wouldn't see them until they left. That is so irritating. It's the kind of behavior my children would have gotten in big trouble for back in the day, but it seems very common among tradesmen who come to work on my house. If you break something, you should own up to it. You don't hide the pieces, for heaven's sake. There might be a reasonable explanation, but at this point I'm kinda done.

If you have a simple plumbing job these are the father and son to do it fast, efficient with a reasonable price. Can't ask for a better honest plumbing team. Gunter was a pleasure to work with.

How does one put a value on reliable professionals? First I tried another plumbing business which I found in the yellow pages but they never bothered to returned my call. I then called Ehrich's Plumbing and an appointment was made for the same afternoon.  They were helpful, courteous and informative (found out that the leaking valve probably cost me the unexplained 100.00 increase in my water bill, but that there was recourse through the water dept!) Plus they were done and out the door in 20 minutes with a smile!  Great father/son team.

Awesome! He was really easy to communicate with and helped me out on short notice. Quality work and the price was very reasonable. So happy to have found someone local that I can trust! Thank you Ehrich!

first it was the bathtub, and now the sink... without going into the boring details, we had to call for help with the kitchen sink this time and Ehrich saved the day again. the prob with the pull-out faucet was something he said we could have fixed ourselves (with a wrench and a new washer) and even though he did a thorough job of even checking the pipes in the basement (my request), he didn't even want to charge us anything. of course, i couldn't let that hamper his livelihood and gave him what he later suggested--as good a price as any for laying to rest (at least some of it), the endless stress of owning a house.

I can't thank Peter enough. He came by promptly and gave me the best options he could. We tried plan A and then had to go to plan B because the pipes in the house had been eaten through. Honest and realistic. I'd highly recommend These guys to anyone!!  Thank you Peter!!  Plus the price was under the estimate!!

Pete and his father have always been amazing but this time they were true detectives. Our shower had mysteriously gone cold over time, until finally, we realized we weren't crazy and something had to be done. Pete came over as soon as we called, figured out the problem AND fixed a few other issues for an incredibly reasonable price. They are extremely responsive, smart, creative, prepared and fair. They are our go-to plumbers.
