Plumbing Company Reviews Near You

STEVE LIPTON PLUMBING
5.0
He's very reasonable. He was a plumber foreman for a well established east bay plumbing company. He had never gotten around to getting his license because he didn't need it. He's one of those guys who gets stuff done and he's master plumber. He's just a single guy, but he does good work and he can explain to you what's going on, what you should and shouldn't do.

The Plumber
5.0
He was great. He was recommended to me by somebody else. He turned up right away and took care of my problem. He did exactly what he said he was going to do. He was very, very good. I had called several plumbers and was taking different estimates when a friend recommended James. He called me right away and set something up the next day. There was a problem with the equipment and he went out and got a different one and replaced it. And he actually gave us a better one for the same price, so he actually took a little bit of a loss on the water heater. I made him take it though.

msk plumbing
5.0
They are good and have done a lot of different things for us. It is a small one-man outfit, which is nice because I can kind of get to know my plumber. I think they are great, but because it is a one-man shop he can't necessarily be in all places at one time. He can't send out a plumber on a dime because it is just one guy. He is very good, especially if I have a project he can plan for. He is very responsive, which is what I look for in a plumber.

Discount Plumbing
3.0
They responded fast but they need a little bit more expertise. They actually put plumbers tape and plumbers pipe on a gas stove and you're not allowed to do that so it was leaking. I will use them again but with caution.

J AND B PLUMBING
4.0
I called this company to have them check our plumbing and to see if the other plumber that came out did his job or just robbed us. This plumber came out and I told him what had happened and he told my none of the bracing had been touched. The plumber did help me out as far I as I could see. I think he was more honest then the other plumber. I don't hold plumber's in high regard. I think that they are all scammers.
- Kenneth G....
VRG Plumbing
5.0
I use VRG Plumbing for my home and rental. After referring a great plumber to my friends, they gave me great feedback after using VRG plumbing. It's nice to have a plumber who you can call and they response quickly and fix the problem big or small jobs.

SAN JOSE PLUMBING
5.0
SJ Plumbing now is our "go-to" plumber--won't use anyone else. They always show up in the designated time, are courteous and professional. The plumbers appear honest and know what they are doing. Have interacted with other plumbing groups--they are by far the best!

George Salet Plumbing Inc
5.0
My tenant called on a Saturday to tell me water was streaming out of the building into the street. I called our regular plumber and he came and diagnosed the problem as one of our pipes rupturing but said he couldn't fix it until Monday. I didn't want to have water spewing out of my building until Monday so I went on Angie's list to find a plumber that would be willing to do the work on a Sunday. I was able to reach George Salet and they said they could do the work on Sunday. They sent a plumber over on Saturday to diagonse the problem before doing the work on Sunday. George Salet's plumber had a completely different conclusion. He said it was actually the neightbor's sewer pipe and not my problem at all. Of course this was good news. They saved me hundreds of dollars. My plumber was going to start digging up the sidewalk on Monday.

Bayshore Plumbers
5.0
I used Bayshore Plumbing for a number of projects in my new home. They did a great job. I bought the earthquake shutoff valve deals and they handled the coordination, installation and follow up exceptionally well. I would recommend them to anyone.
- Barry T....
Bonney Plumbing, Heating, Air & Rooter Service
5.0
My complaint is that they are plumbers which means they use that blue glue and one of them got it on the flooring. There could have been better clean up which I told them about. They came 2 times in a pretty short period. I complained to one of the managing owners and they did do a better job the second time. As far as plumbers and prices go around here they are probably the best choice.

CBP Plumbing
5.0
Chris Pemberton of CBP Plumbing in San Geronimo is one of the best of his trade as well as a really great person! One word to describe him is caring. The man is deeply committed to doing the very best job possible in each situation. He made sure I was given what was really needed with everything he addressed. He went out of his way to find what we couldn't locate in regular hardware merchandize. Chris treats his clients repairs as if he were working on his own home, and because he has such meticulous attention to detail he found all sorts of side issues that had been problems and fixed them like a magician! He is a wonderful human being, kind, honest and respectful. The man worked tirelessly on a myriad of plumbing issues and other related work. He was careful as a surgeon, patient and treated my home with kit-gloves and precision work. He was a pleasure to have repair my home plumbing needs and incredibly professional. He also cleaned up after every chore so everything looked beautiful! Thank you Chris; you are truly a star among men.

Alan's Plumbing
Recent Review: Alan's Plumbing is what you would consider an excellent provider. When you contact them, they are wonderful and come out that day. The plumbing is A plus and we can count on them to do what it takes to make the problem go away. They are very considerate of our home and never leave a mess behind. The pipe they un clogged was a simple process that took mere minutes to complete. This may not be the cheapest plumber out there, but the quality makes it more than worth it.

Recent Review: THE PLUMBER WAS ON TIME, AND THE PRICE WAS FIXED AND REASONABLE.

There are more than 420,000 plumbers in the United States - which one should you hire?

Plumbing systems are important components of any home or business. At some point in time, everyone will need a plumber to fix a clogged drain or a leaking toilet. How do you find a great company and get a competitive price?

Not all plumbers are the same. Here are some tips to find the best pro near you at a great price:

It's important to carefully select who you contact - ensure that every plumber has the following qualifications:

  • Licensed and insured: the plumber should be licensed by your local municipality and insured against 3rd party damage. Do your homework, and avoid many headaches of an unlicensed pro.
  • Experience: the plumber should be experienced in fixing plumbing issues that are similar to yours. They should have experts such as gas plumbers on staff or ready to be called.
  • Customer satisfaction: ensure the plumber is customer friendly and willing to help. You can ask neighbors and read reviews online. This list of plumbers near you offers some of the best services. There are also reviews from neighbors in your area - you can quickly contact the best.

Why hire a plumber?

The services of plumbers come in handy for many different situations, from tasks as simple as a clogged drain to more complex projects such as piping a home. Some of the most common functions that plumbers undertake include:

Unclogging blocked drains

Blocked drains are perhaps the most common cause for plumbing services. Various drains within homes and businesses can become clogged due to food debris, oil and foreign objects going down the drain. A blocked drain can be an inconvenience, with the potential of causing kitchen sinks, bathrooms and showers to become unusable until the blockage is addressed. A hand snake or machine auger can typically resolve this issue.

Pipe repair and replacement

In some cases plumbers are called out due to a broken or damaged pipe. Corrosion is common if two types of metal pipes connect to each other that have different material, such as copper pipes connecting to galvanized steel pipes. This leads to small leaks that turn into larger issues.

Fixing blocked toilets

Another popular service offered by plumbers is the unclogging of toilets. It's pretty obvious why someone would want this fixed.

Fixing running toilets

More common is a toilet that won't stop trickling water. An constantly-flowing toilet can eventually result in further damage to pipes and the sewage system, along with a higher water bill.

New York plumbers are the highest paid in the United States.

But how much does plumbing cost near you?

Here are some cost breakdowns to consider when hiring a plumber:

  • Average plumbing repair cost: $150
  • Average cost to hire a plumber: $45-$150 per hour
  • Leaking fixtures and toilets: $100-$200 (including fixtures in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoor spaces)
  • Clogged drains: $100-$300 (including unclogging overflowing toilets, showers, or kitchen sinks)
  • Fixing slab leaks: $1,000-$3,000
  • Replacement of water heaters: $1,200-$4,000
