Newly installed water heater.
Wesley B.

Abraham and team showed up in a timely manner and communicated well. We were tired and not looking forward to going through the process of replacing a leaking water heater, but they made it so easy. It seems like the work was quality. We will definitely be reaching out to these folks for our future plumbing needs. Thank you again!

Backyard hose to push water through the pipe after the clog was removed
Julie R.

I was scared to call a plumber since in the past, I had unfortunate experiences where plumbers replaced with cheap parts, doubled the cost of what's quoted, leave a dirty mess, etc. When I saw that AB's Plumbing had many great reviews, I decided to try my luck with Abraham for my mom's plumbing issue. I called at 4:26 pm on a Saturday and he said he can come within 2 hours. After I described the issue, he diagnosed it as clogged main sewer line and quoted me between $450 - 800 + cost of parts. This is including Yelp discount and he did not charge extra for emergency hours. He was professional, friendly and guaranteed that he would not go over $800 + parts, so I decided to go with him. Abraham arrived at 5:43 pm and did a thorough inspection and preliminary work before deciding to remove a toilet to access the main sewer line. He said that normally there is an extra charge for removing the toilet but he won't charge. He went through a step-by-step process to ensure that water didn't overflow in the bathroom and kept the area clean. He also used a new blanket to put his equipment on top of. Abraham spent 1 hour or so, bent over while unclogging with a snake machine; it's tough physical work. Once he got through the clog, he said since it was very impacted, cost will be $800 + parts = $825. Abraham ran water through the pipes with the backyard hose and unclogged the bathtub that had sewage backflow. I asked him to check if the toilet works properly and so, he fixed the toilet handle. Abraham cleaned the area around the toilet and washed the bathtub well. Disinfectant spray was used around the toilet area. It was a nice job cleaning after himself. I was nervous about the final bill since past plumbers I've dealt with would still increase the bill at the end after work is completed. Abraham kept his word; it remained at $825 even though it was getting late (~8pm) and he did few things like fixed the toilet handle / unclogged the tub. Overall, Abraham was thorough and meticulous in his work and he talked to me throughout the process, letting me know what he was doing and explaining it (he first asked if I wanted to know). Because of the good work, professionalism while friendly and caring, I highly recommend Abraham of AB's Plumbing - I would hire him again!

I honestly don't know but they have a contract with the company who managed the property I rent. I been here in this house for seven years now and this property management has around 2000 houses in north California. I think if they contract them is…

However, Martin from Affordable Hydro Jetting was able to clear the obstruction from the drain opening, saving us from invasive and costly operations. He was very diligent and thorough throughout the whole process, explaining everything clearly in person and also via his completion report. We could not be more satisfied.

The short review is this: Martin is a wizard! He sucked a 2 lb. Piece of metal out of my main line…read morewith a shop vac, saving me thousands of dollars in repair costs! The details: I called Martin after a clog removal by another company went sideways (probably the topic of a no star review in the future). The first company identified where the problem was, but also caused a spill of sewage inside the house, then quoted me $5k to dig up the pipe and really fix the problem. To no one's surprise, I wasn't happy. So I called AHJ for a second opinion, and Martin answered the call. He spent a good 20 minutes on the phone, asking me detailed questions about the problem, and explaining my options (the other company did none of that). He made no guarantees, but said he thought he could solve the problem, so I asked him to have a look. He was at my house within 3 hours. The line had two objects stuck inside, causing backups. Martin worked to jet out one of the objects out, then used a camera to inspect the entire 80 ft. length of the pipe. The second object was still there, though, and it looked like digging was the only option. However, this is where the real magic happened! The second object was about 12 ft from the clean out, and it was not budging. Martin, however, thinks outside the box. He got out a large shop vac and stuffed the hose down the line. With the help of his camera he aligned the end of the hose with the obstruction and started up the vacuum. It took a while and was not easy work, but Martin eventually pulled out a 8" long, 2 lb. solid steel spring! That's no exaggeration (How that got in there I'll never know). It was Amazing! He also documented everything with his camera and thoroughly explained everything that we could see. So, I now know all about the good, and the bad, of my main sewer line, should any future problem arise. Thank you, Martin, for the exceptional service!

First of all, I take responsibility for hiring these guys. Every other plumber was talking about…read moreneeding 4-6 days to repipe our home and CR said they could do it in two. I was more focused on getting water service back not realizing that with a company with Rooter in the name , the focus is on speedy repairs and not quality. I got what I paid for. 90% of what they did was good. The other 10% I paid a real licensed plumber to come in and fix. There was poor communication or no communication from the owner ( who I assume is the licensee ) and his guys who are neither journeyman nor English speakers. I asked for them to run a new water service pipe through my foundation. During the walk through Chavo said no problem, he's got the drill. I'm replacing my stucco and that location makes it easier for the demo. I got home from work and his guy Nazario went through my foundation vent because that was faster making it difficult for me with the rest. of the scope of work. It looks terrible. Just poor workmanship.. It was then that I started to realize that they are focused on fast work , not quality work. There were 4-5 poorly done things and a few that were just stupid. . They did try to make it up by doing a few extras no charge like a hose connection and a vent repair. The main cause of me wanting to repipe was a failing manifold in the shower. What did they not do? Replace the shower manifold . I had to go buy one and have them install it after they put new pipe on the faulty manifold. This was after repeat conversations about this specifically . Just because someone says yes doesn't that mean they understand you. After install, it leaked worse than before and I had to remove a wall to access, and had a real plumber fix it, They broke a tile and the leak they left ruined my baseboard and I had to replace it. Again, this is my fault for hiring them after a recommendation from a friend. Without writing an epic tale, they did a few bone headed things that I had to call their boss and make them redo. They were in a hurry. Nazario , who may or may not still work there was disrespectful to my wife and chauvinistically did not listen to her . I had to come home from work early to make them stop and do what was clearly described in the estimate. He was combative and untruthful. He and the crew demonstrated a lack of ability to problem solve or think critically. There is another review illustrating this here. This company is probably very good at emergency repairs where no thinking is involved and they replace like for like copying what was there. For real plumbing, don't go with this company. I am currently a city building inspector . I could cite the code violations, but it was mostly poor workmanship , deviation from the contracted scope or incomplete work. . They were so bad I accused of them of a few things they were innocent of. As time passed I kept finding more things they screwed up. They told me they removed the old pipe. When I went into the crawl space ,3/4 of it was left behind. Nazario said there was no garbage , but I had to crawl underneath and haul it all out, I found another stash of old pipes in the crawl space today prompting this late review. If you need real plumbing, relocation or a layout change , this company is not for you. If you need an emergency replacement or repair done fast they are probably ok,

Our main sewerline was totally obstructed with roots at a chokepoint in the line. Given our house…read morewas over 100yrs old and the line was likely the original, a complete replacement was recommended. Carlos was extremely helpful in helping us arrive at a cost we could afford. The TrenchFree crew were timely, knowledgeable, and hard working given the 100+ degree temperature the 1st day of the field work. Repair consisted of solid piping under a retaining wall, through an area that had to be backfilled to take out a sag in the line, followed by lining approx. 50lf of existing CI piping that would eventually fail given its age. In addition, my wife and I made an unusual request regarding payment. We applied for and were approved to receive a 21-month 0% APR CC with Chase that would allow us to cover the repair interest free. When I explained the situation to the Accounting department, they were kind enough to defer payment until we receive the CC from the bank. All around excellent service during a very trying time. Hats off to the TrenchFree team for a job well done! I'd be happy to refer you to anyone requiring your services in the future!

Outstanding Experience with Fast Response Plumbing…read more I contacted seven different companies to get estimates for replacing my sewer line and house trap, and from the very first conversation with Tim, I had a great feeling about Fast Response Plumbing. After speaking with him and researching reviews on Yelp, it became clear that this is one of the top plumbing companies in San Francisco for this type of work. Not only were their prices competitive, but I also saved thousands of dollars compared to some of the other estimates I received. Customer feedback played a major role in my decision. While a few other companies on Yelp appeared to have similar ratings at first glance, a closer inspection revealed many reviews (sometimes hundreds) were filtered or removed and not counted. That raised concerns about the authenticity of their ratings. In contrast, Fast Response Plumbing's reviews appeared genuine and consistent, which gave me even more confidence in choosing them. I'm extremely happy with the results. Every aspect of the project exceeded my expectations: * Competitive and fair pricing * Excellent communication throughout the entire process * Smooth permit handling with no issues * Expert concrete restoration after the excavation work * Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail One thing that particularly impressed me was that they installed a 5-inch sewer trap instead of simply replacing the existing 4-inch trap. That thoughtful upgrade will make any future servicing much easier and demonstrates their commitment to doing the job right rather than just meeting the minimum requirements. They also made payment easy by allowing online credit card payments, which was a nice convenience. Honestly, I struggle to think of anything they could have done better. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, skilled, and genuinely committed to delivering quality work. They went above and beyond every step of the way. If you're looking for a trustworthy plumbing company in San Francisco for sewer line or house trap replacement, I highly recommend Fast Response Plumbing. Thank you to Tim and the entire team for a job exceptionally well done!
