We've been using Able To Plumbing since we bought our house in 2009. Because of the age of our home we have periodic issues with our aging sewer system and need to call Travis to come rescue us. I cannot overstate how amazing they are. Responsive, thorough and reasonably priced. We recommend them every chance we get! Please consider using them, you will not be sorry and you'll be a customer for life read more

Just had an other plumber come out to address the exact same blockage Travis was supposed to fix 1 month ago. Travis's terrible workmanship resulted in our house flooding and having to refloor our entire house. The new plumber had to fix all Travis's inferior work and then correct the original blockage. Travis you should be ashamed of yourself! You're aggressive, unprofessional and incompetent. NEVER USE THIS COMPANY! read more

Able To Plumbing & Rooter - This is the damage caused my the flooding. All our hardwood flooring was destroyed. - Plumbing Near Me - Livermore, California

Fantastic work. Travis and Trent did wonders on our job. They came in behind another well known Walnut Creek plumber (who shall remain nameless). The other plumber's work resulted in ruining our Toto shower fixture. After 30 minutes of abusing our fixture with channel locks, the plumber gave up and said the "office would call to schedule a follow-up appointment". Never heard back from them. BTW -- this same firm installed our new hot water heater and screwed up the installation. Enter Able To Plumbing --- (1) diagnosed the problem, (2) removed the old Toto fixture and cartridge, (3) quickly sourced a new, replacement fixture and cartridge, and (4) installed it. This shop is now our go-to plumber. My key take away --- if you have high-end fixtures or equipment such as Kohler, Toto, or Rinnai, you need to hire qualified plumbers to work on them. Many of the large plumbing companies that advertise on Yelp and social media, are high volume chop-shops that focus on low-end stuff. I found Able To Plumbing based on a referral from a showroom manager of a top brand, which hires them for all their install jobs. read more

Rooted our main clean out that had a blockage. Fast and great work! Was able to do a same day visit and didn't charge an emergency fee

Excellent service! I had an emergency over the weekend, called local plumbers in Livermore, only to be told there was no one available, or sent to voicemail. I called Able To Plumbing and they helped me right away! I will be using them for future services and am very thankful for how they handled my situation. read more

We were told by Orkin Pest Control that we had a leak under our house but they weren't sure where it was. We contacted Travis last week to come look at our plumbing to try and find the possible leak. Within a week they were able to come to our house on a day that fit within our schedule. Travis and his son called us a few hours before our scheduled time to let us know that they were ahead of schedule and asked if they could come early. As soon as they arrived to our house they listened to what we had to say and got to work, searching for the leak. Once they determined where the leak was coming from they let us know what was going on and how much it was going to be for them to fix it right then. We gave the okay for the work to be done and they got everything situated within an hour and a half. They repaired two toilet seals and our front garden pipes. Our previous Gardner broke our pipe clean off and Travis was able to replace it and clean everything up. We are very happy with the communication, price and professionalism from Travis and his son. They answered all of our questions and helped us understand what was going on. We highly recommend them and will gladly hire them again!! read more

Very professional. These guys are my go to, don't ever plan on using any other company. Highly recommended.

Absolute life savers! I called Able To Plumbing & Rooter around 9am. By 10 o'clock Trentyn & Travis were at my office working their magic. They were both very professional, informative, and straight to the point. There was zero upselling on services. The price was very reasonable for the work that needed to be done. They worked SO fast and with minimal noise. I would absolutely use their services again and would highly recommend them! read more

Able To Plumbing & Rooter - Found the ROOT of the issue. - Plumbing Near Me - Livermore, California

Thanks for your help guys! They came quickly, assessed my issue and gave me some great advice, on my whole house water filter system, which is what I needed. I will definitely call them again, next time I need a plumber. read more

Just met these guys. I finally have a go to for plumbing. Super honest and very fair. On time and super efficient. If you use any other company it's a mistake. Spread the word! read more

Trustworthy and knowledgeable plumbers. I have worked with Travis and Trent several times over the past few years for various issues in multiple properties. They always resolve my plumbing issues and are very reasonably priced. They consistently try to work in their clients despite their ongoing workload. They came on a weekend for an emergent issue and quickly diagnosed my problem and found the best way to fix the leak without replacing the entire unit. They are very conscientious about tidying up the work areas and never leave my home in a wreck. Having no knowledge myself of plumbing issues it's reassuring to know that I have the best team available when I need them. read more

This is a great company to do your plumbing work. They have changed out a two faucets in our bathroom, changed out our kitchen faucet and updated three water valves in our bathroom in three separate calls. They are professional, very knowledgeable, and prompt. We continue to use them for our plumbing needs because of the results we get. We are extremely happy with their work! Marv Cope read more

I needed replacement of a leaking garbage disposal and the shut off valves in the wall were "frozen" in place and I was concerned that they would break off. Scheduled a next day appointment with Able To. They arrived on time, were very clean about the work, completed the service quickly, and the final price was very reasonable. I will absolutely call them again for any plumbing or rooter service. read more

Be careful of this company. We had a circulating pump go out on us and we called to get that fixed. The "new" circulating pump that was put in is a 2012 model with a crack in the housing. We were not aware of this until we needed a new water heater and we were taking bids. One of those companies took photos of the pump and showed us the problems. My wife sent a request for a refund and removal of the 2012 pump. Our request is current so hopefully we will hear back from them and they will handle this professionally. You will see a similar comment from another home owner who had toilets replaced with old and out of date toilets. So be very careful if any equipment is replaced. Make sure you know what you are getting. read more

I lucked out and they were able to come replace my garbage disposal the day after I called. They even fixed my faucet handle that was hard to turn. Very friendly and knowledgeable father son duo, with competitive prices. They have my business for all plumbing issues. read more

Rave for Able to Plumbing! I had another company quote us twice as much for a plumbing job and imply that it was urgent. Able Plumbing gave me a quote for half the amount and told me it was not urgent to get the job done now. We will save for the replacement and exclusively use them. read more

The toilet at the far end of the house clogged on the 28th, and Able came 24 hours later. They snaked the line with a 1/2 snake and resolved the issue. Two days later on Friday the entire house went down, 3 water closets, 4 sinks, two showers and a tub, and the lower fixtures began flooding onto the floor. Turns out, they had dislodged the clog but not cleaned out the line, and the clog moved further down the line and took out the entire house. The service was under warranty so we called them on Friday afternoon. Here's why this turned into an unacceptable situation leading to a bad review... 1) The initial service appeared helpful but was incomplete and ended up taking the problem from one clogged fixture to taking out the entire house. 2) They didn't use a cutting blade that I saw, leaving the pipe full of debris from the clog as well as roots on the outside of the house. Two days later we were clogged again, and much worse this time. 3) When we called on Friday afternoon we were informed that the office was closed until Tuesday, we were speaking with an answering service, the owner had NOT left an emergency contact number, and the owner did not arrange for another company to pick up their emergency work during their absence. Bottom line - Everyone needs vacation time, but don't leave your answering service in that position. And don't leave your customers hanging without some way to get help. We ended up spending 400 bucks to rent a hotel room for two nights so our guests could use a toilet and shower, and had a different company come out and do a more thorough job cleaning the line, a cleaning that should have been done right in the first place. We are out a bit over 800 dollars extra IN ADDITION to their service fee, and their warranty turned out to be worthless when the owners disappeared for 5 days. We still haven't heard from them, and it's day 3 now... It's a shame because we liked the tech and appreciated their company TRYING to fix our problem but it was VERY frustrating and expensive. Would not recommend without some policy changes on their end. read more

I've used Able To Plumbing several times over the years. I first had a hot water heater blow out and flood my garage and they came to the rescue on the same day. A couple years later, I had a few water valves corrode and not shut off and they came out again, and then again. Today, I was out of town, in a somewhat remote area, and had another water valve issue. I was able to call and talk with Travis for some advice. He worked me through the issue and got me back on track. Courtney is always a pleasure to speak on the phone for scheduling. Big fans of Able To Plumbing!!! Thank you Courtney, Travis, and team! read more

We've used Able several times & have recommended him to friends. Everyone including us agrees Travis is reliable, responsive and gets a project finished in record time. read more

Travis did an excellent job. Friendly and very knowledgeable. We went from a two bowl sink to one. Required re-doing the plumbing since it was two bowls before. Also it's an under mount sink - it took extra time. The easy route would have been drop in. Definitely hiring Travis in heart beat for future projects read more

Able To Plumbing & Rooter - Travis knocked it out of the park with this installation. We went from a 2 bowl sink to what's shown in the picture. - Plumbing Near Me - Livermore, California

I feel like I spent a lot of money for the work. I could have been more patient with my urge to get the toilet flush leak fixed in a rush and should have done my research about the price. I could have fixed it myself for one 10th of the cost. Sometimes, I learn the hard way. But the service was quick and he arrived on time both times. I intentionally looked for a plumber in Livermore to support the local business as much as I can. Sometimes, I get disappointed afterwards. read more

I have used Able To Plumbing for jobs ranging from water leaks to replacing corroded connectors to installing a heat pump electric water heater. They respond quickly and always manage to fit in my emergency jobs when needed. Travis is knowledgeable and competent, and does excellent work. I highly recommend his company for any plumbing work, and I will continue to call them for any plumbing jobs. read more

Called and got an appointment that same day. They called when they were on there way and arrived at the time frame they promised. They quickly fixed our plumbing issue. Couldn't be more pleased with the professional and friendly attention. Will definitely use for future plumbing problems. read more

Travis and Trent provided prompt, professional and courteos service. We had a faucet break outside and had to turn off the main line supply. Able To Plumbing came out the same day and fixed the issue! Price was very fair and they qere so personable and easy to talk to. Definitely recommend! read more

Absolutely awesome.... Customer service, services and professionalism top notch !! Thank you guys for coming out and fixing the problem quickly. I highly recommend!! read more

Travis came out because my garbage disposal seized up and it was on the weekend so I thought it would be quite impossible to find a good plumber on the weekend with a reasonable rate. Luckily I picked the right one! he was local and I just had a good feeling looking at his reviews that I was making the best choice and it turns out I did! Travis is the consummate professional and I really appreciate his coming right over to my rescue! He fixed my garbage disposal in only a few minutes and I'm so thankful for his time and his expertise! read more

Professional, knowledgeable, personable. Fixed my back-up quickly and left the shower clean.

Horrible and shady company! The owner Travis harassed and threatened me after leaving this review. He called me 11 times at 6am the next day and cussed me out using the "f" word about a dozen times before I hung up on him. So this all started when they came out to service my property on many occasions due to them "being in bed" with my landlords so to speak. Everytime they came they wouldn't be on time and I would have to wait around for them to show. They also even showed up on days when I told them I was not available. They always parked in my driveway blocking our cars in when there was ample street parking. (No one should park in anyone's driveway unless invited I feel) they left tools at my house on more than 2 occasions. The thing that makes me upset the most is they would never announce their arrival. The would come into my backyard without letting us know they were there and even looked inside our bedroom window while we were still in bed as they past by (our bedroom windows faces the backyard) Able to plumbing also accused me of stuffing stuff done the sewer intentionally to block the system. The said my wife would flush lots of tampons and paper towels which is not the case at all. My wife like any other woman is fully aware you cannot flush that down the toilet. Able to plumbing also never cleans up properly after a job and always leave a mess even asking me for towels and products to aid in cleaning up which is something they should have in their trucks. I reached out to Courtney the office manager to complain and she hung up on me after using several cuss words. I tried calling back and she cussed me out again. The next day the owner Travis called me 11 times cussing me out at 6am. I asked him to calm down to actually talk and he just kept cussing me out and threatening me. He said if I didnt remove my ripoff report and my yelp he was going to sue me. Now if Travis would of been calm and addressed my concerns maybe I would have but he was a hot head and lost his temper so here the review will stay. Feel free to respond Travis, if you can keep your cool which we both know you can't. Last but not least. The plumbers went thru my personal belongings and reported them back to my landlord on what I had in my yard and house. I'm pretty sure that is none of their business and if they ever set foot on my property again I will call the police read more

We had a leak start Sat. morning in the vent in our family room and we tried all day to find a emergency plumbing company. Friend recommended Able To so I called. Trent, answered and told me the same thing, I asked in a very panicked voice, can he at least tell us how to shut off the water (we couldn't find the valve on the house). Nope - he asked for our address and come over (around 9pm) and not only shut off the water, but found the valve on the house and scheduled us for Mon. repair. Travis and Trent showed up Mon. found the problem and fixed it! Highly recommend!! read more

Travis has been out twice to our house and is he VERY honest, fair and professional. I won't hesitate again to call him. Thank you !!

They did a great job and quickly. Would call them anytime. Very honest and showed up on time

What a great experience! Able to Plumbing and Rooting came out on time and cleared one drain only to find out they also had to clear the drain going to the street. No problem for them. They had the entire drain cleared within 30 minutes. They were pleasant and very professional. I was happy to pay the invoice which I thought was very fair. Thank you for great service, which is so hard to find these days. I will definitely recommend to my friends and neighbors. Thank you! read more

We've had a problem with a clogged kitchen sink. I tried to clear it to no avail. Travis came in at the time he scheduled with us, saw the problem, and fixed it immediately. He was very professional. He even wiped out the inside of our cabinet with Clorox spray prior to finishing the job. We are very happy with his service and he's a really nice person too. Highly recommended! Will call again in the future. read more

I had a backed up toilet and of corse it was the holiday! I called a few companies but got no answer. I then dialed Able To Plumbers and Travis answered right away! Needless to say, I was quite shocked that I got an answer on a holiday - not just that - he was kind and compassionate and promised to take care of the issue the next day!! Wow! I actually left messages at other companies but they didnt even RETURN A CALL! Travis and his associate were both professional, prompt, kind, and explained the problem thoroughly. He reviewed other plumbing areas in the house and provided excellent advice. I have plumbing issues almost yearly and I've contracted multiple different companies...that ends TODAY! I will ALWAYS use Travis at Able To Plumbing!!! Amazing work and customer service! read more

I called Able To on Wednesday 5/26/21 because of clogged shower drain. Sewage was coming up through my drain whenever I ran the water in my kitchen sink...YIKES! Someone was available to come out that day - but I was not available. Travis came out the next day and was able to unclog my shower drain within 45 minutes. He was very friendly, professional and I am so happy! The price was very reasonable. I will use this company again. read more

Plumbing problems always happen on a weekend! Our water heater had a sudden death (thankfully it's summer) and cold showers are no fun! We placed a call in to Able on a late Sunday afternoon expecting to leave a message for a call back Monday. Travis called back within 1/2 hour, scheduled an appointment & showed up exactly on time the next day. WOW!!! service sp we're super happy to give a five star rating. Most home improvements are costly and yet they are an investment for the comfort of us in our homes. I feel the pricing was fair - and most of all - the turn around time was amazing. Great customer service! - We highly recommend this company for any and all your plumbing needs! read more

I just want to share my first/ Last poor experience with all. It's a family runs a small business, but it is not a professional company. In Feb/2021 they charged me $89/hr. for the labor as regular rate, but they overcharged for the materials and provided a low-end obsoleted product for us, for example, they charged me totally $635 for replacing a new elongated toilet with TOTO brand, model number ST743ET was built on 11/25/2012 (please read the model number and the building date at inside of the toilet water tank on the photo), and hauled the old toilet away. In fact, I went to Home Depot on-line and checked the new toilet price, the plumber provided the new toilet model is obsoleted in Home Depot, the similar model is CST746CSM costs $286+tax, but the owner, Travin told me the new toilet was costed $500 each. It is not honest. Finally I am not happy with the owner, Travin because he worked with himself only and spent about 4 hours to complete the job with replaced 3 new toilets and hauled the old ones away. He charged me totally $ 1974 with the obsoleted model of the new toilets. In my opinion, you make your judgement on my unhappy experience. read more

Excellent service. They were able to come the same day and repare (in my case replace) the toilet. The morning started from the water pouring from the toilet and dropping from the garage sealing.
