Outstanding experience from start to finish. We had a pipe from 1916 burst and flood the garage--he showed up quickly and jumped right in. The work was excellent, and the price came in lower than expected. Highly recommend! read more

First to respond to Yelp project request about a likely dead 18 yr old water heater on a Mon morning and had a plumber at my place in less than 1.5hrs. Edgar arrived 10min into the 30min window range - so earlyish. Provided written estimate with website discount and matched another offer. After I signed the agreement he puchased the hot water heater. The whole evaluation, purchase, and replacement installation with new components took 1.5 hrs. Area was left clean. 1 yr labor warranty, 6 year parts warranty. May have been able to get a somewhat better price elsewhere but with a busy work week ahead and a spouse who suffered thru a cold morning shower, this was rapid and professional. read more

I've used Bay Area Plumbing 3 times in the last 18 months. Each time, Boris has communicated quickly to the request and we were able to settled on a service time. The first time I used Bay Area Plumbing, I contacted them on a Friday around 5:30 PM cause of a blocked sewer main. Boris came from his last job and arrived at 8 pm and worked until 9 pm to clear the main. Bay Area Plumbing promptly arrives and communicates their status so you're not wondering where they're at. They are my first call when I have plumbing issues in the City. read more

I needed a plumber to install an under the sink filter and faucet. I created a Yelp request using the app and Bay area plumbing replied quickly. I was told it's best to stick with the same brand as the faucet and hot water tank. Once I had the parts they came the same day to install it. They did a great job and was quick under an hour. They were reasonable, responsive, and knowledgeable. I'm very happy with the results. read more

Boris responded very quickly to our post, and showed up within the hour to fix our faucet. He found other issues our previous contractor overlooked and quickly fixed them and left us with a much more functional kitchen! read more

For about a month I had been having problems with my air gap shooting out water whenever I ran my dishwasher. I looked on YouTube and unsuccessfully tried to fix it myself by cleaning the air gap from the top. I had used Boris before for my family home so I knew he was reliable and trustworthy. We set up a time, he arrived 10 minutes early and he replaced my air gap (12.99) and hose (9.99) and charge me his hourly fee (250.00) for labor. It took him about 20 minutes to fix the problem and I am VERY happy. I do believe this is the going rate since I had some electrical outlets that were out and it cost me the same hourly rate to have an electrician come out and fix the problem. I had some trouble reaching him through Yelp and he told me it's better to just call him rather than message him on Yelp. I highly recommend Boris to anyone. read more

We had a plugged toilet which I could not get to drain on my own, so called Bay Area Plumbing and spoke to Boris. We had used him in the past for another plumbing issue and liked the service and found his work good and pricing fair. Boris showed up slightly earlier than his estimated arrival time which was good. With one swirl of the mini snake down the toilet he freed up the drain and we were in business. All was good until came payment time, which I was really surprised at. He charged us $150 for about 3 minutes of work and was on his way. I do understand overhead costs, his time etc., but being a repeat customer I was quite surprised it wasn't in the $75-$100 range. Sorry but I felt taken advantage of and ripped off. read more

Used their website to request an appointment. No response. Called in and requested service. Was told the plumber doesn't like to work in my area of the city so will have the plumber call to confirm if they can help. No response. read more

I've used Bay Area Plumbing twice for a clogged sink and once for a replacement hot water heater. I shop around each time and their prices always seem fair and competitive. Dispatcher is very knowledgeable and the plumbers are fast, efficient, and honest. read more

responsive. Couldn't do our job of doing a power flush for our laundromat but responded quickly. Would recommend.

I called (presumably) Boris this evening about a clogged toilet that overflowed all over my bathroom and which I still need fixing urgently. He said someone could be over in 30 minutes and quoted me $450 if the job took no more than an hour. I asked if they could clean up the water on the floor meaning remove the water from the floor and he responded, No, we don't do cleaning. I repeated several times that I didn't mean clean the floor, but rather remove the water that had overflowed onto the floor. He responded that they could "vacuum" it up if it wasn't too much. He then noted that if it went over an hour, even by 5" that would be another $450 for each additional hour. I said that seemed exorbitant and his response was that it might not take more than just a few minutes. I asked if these were his standard fees, as his rates seemed much higher than those cited by people who had used him per recent Yelp Reviews. He said his fees were posted on his website and when I noted that I was looking at his website and they weren't, he asked if I had called Router Rooter about their fees, implying that because his fees are low in comparison that they are somehow reasonable. I was just shocked that he was charging more than some medical professionals who have many years of education and provide services involving high levels of skill. read more

Bay Area Plumbing - Wet wipes clogging pipes - Plumbing Near Me - San Francisco, California

We rented an apartment that had really old low height toilet as well as problems with the sink faucet. We contacted Boris and he gave us some great advice on what to purchase. It took a while to receive the items as they were not standard. He installed everything today. The building is really old and had some issues but he plowed right through and did a great job. He really knows his stuff and is a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend read more

Boris has been out to our house in SF twice. Both times he was either on time or early. One time was to clear a drain and the second time was to replace a faucet cartridge and a faulty shut off valve. Both times he was very professional and his work was top notch. Our previous regular plumber is mostly retired now; Bay Area Plumbing is our plumber for life. I don't think you can find a better plumber. read more

This review is late in coming cause it was over 2 years ago so better late than never. It was a dark and rainy night and our shut off valve was having issues. First time for me as a DIY on this and didn't know it well enough and it didn't work out for me. Guy came and fixed in a jiffy. It was a weekend and raining cats and dogs but he came and got the job done. 5 stars definitely. read more

Ok so Boris showed up wearing overalls, but after he left I feel like he should have showed up wearing a FREAKING CAPE because he's SUPER HUMAN. Seriously, I called rather frantic needing a garbage disposal/kitchen sink fixed ASAP and he said "15-20 maybe 30 minutes." 8 minutes later his truck is in front of my house. 5 minutes after that he's got all the materials he needs to replace the garbage disposal and clear the drain laid out in the cleanest way possible. 16 minutes after that he's DONE. Honestly one of the best experiences I've had with any kind of service. Saved my butt. Thank you, Boris! read more

Boris responded to my Yelp inquiry right away. He was responsive and answered all of my questions before I decided to work with his company. He scheduled my water heater replacement the following day and arrived on time. He completed my project in the time window that he estimated. His work was high quality and he left the work area clean. He was slightly more expensive than a couple of the other quotes that I received, but his work was high quality and prompt. I would hire him again. read more

Great experience. Kitchen sink drain clogged. Called another company first that recommended additional services that we weren't sure were necessary and the estimate for just snaking the drain seemed higher than it should be. So after reading yelp reviews for Bay Area Plumbing, called at 11am, Boris arrived about 2. He was straight forward, efficient, got the job done, snaked the drain and installed the new p trap we bought. Said the additional service recommended by the other company was not necessary unless we had recurring problems. Pricing for labor was a straight forward 250 hourly rate, pref Venmo/ Zelle. Will keep him in mind and recommend him to others for jobs like this. read more

Boris had done work for us before and always is the consummate plumber. He is always prompt and very astute at diagnosing problems. He installed a new kitchen sink faucet. It was a space challenge under the sink due to the sink installation. So, it wasn't easy physically. I appreciated he completed the job so quickly even with the MacGyver efforts. Never complains and is very professional, strong work ethnic and honest. I think he is so good that I will use him for more work that isn't an emergency. Boris gives plumbers a good name! read more

Did an excellent job!!! I recently contacted the company, and the next day they were at my house on time and very courteous. They are very responsive and transparent about all costs up front. read more

Boris came out for an emergency leak situation and quickly identified the problem. Unfortunately he couldn't fix the source of the leak due to it being in another unit, but I definitely appreciated the quick response and tips for dealing with the insurance to cover the damage! read more

Started the day with clogged kitchen sink and water leaking into lower cabinet. Called BAP, and was originally told that the plumber would come by later in the afternoon. That was ok, "better later than never". Nice dispatcher called me back to say the plumber had finished a job early, so he'd be over shortly. Boris K showed up promptly, checked out the problem, tried the easiest pipe tightening fix, which unfortunately didn't work due to clogged pipe. So he ran the "snake" all the way to building main line, cleared out the long-worsening clog, tighted all pipe connections with new hardware and cleaned up the whole work area. All in less than 45 mins. Price was fair and reasonable. Thanks Boris & Bay Area Plumbing! read more

Super efficient, very reasonable price, we always call him for any issues. Our whole condo uses him now. Protip: Best communication is via Yelp. Messaged him on Yelp and he responded instantly. On another occasion I didn't get an immediate response to a phone message. In that case it wasn't an emergency so I didn't followup right away either, so wouldn't draw a conclusion from that. But then when I messaged via Yelp it was amazingly fast and he came the same morning, so that's what I do from now on. read more

Recently Boris did major work. Correcting mistakes of previous. Can't say enough. Professional, non stop worker. Quality of this level hard to find. ​​ read more

I debated writing this, but it haunts me. I needed someone to come over and repair a washer turn handle. It was spraying water. I got a quote from this guy and he said "$275 to replace the handle". I agreed to this. He was late. When he showed up, he said all he did was tighten the handle. He charged $250. I asked him to change the handle for the agreed $275 price. He made excuses...all it needed was to be tightened, it's in a box and it is hard to get too, blah blah blah". I said "yon are really going to charge me $250? You didn't do anything but turned a wrench one time". He said "yes, for the visit". I told him I wanted to pay an additional $25 to replace the handle. He told me he "cannot access it, it will cost more, he never said that". I have texts that he said this. Any other repair person would charge half the price just to turn a wrench. Not $275 and refuse to replace it because "he can't". I still feel ripped off! He also wanted to charge me $275 to fix a dryer vent. I got it done for $100 with someone else. read more

Our water heater started leaking and I knew it was time to look for a replacement. I checked here on Yelp and found Bay Area Plumbing and asked for a quote. Boris responded very quickly and requested photos. When I sent the photos, he responded right away and said he'd be there within 30 minutes to take a look in person. He arrived promptly, did an evaluation and made a few suggestions and gave us his quote. Boris was able to answer all of our questions and had a very pleasant and professional manner. However, due to extenuating circumstances, and not anything having to do with Boris, we ended up having the work done by another provider. This review is only for the quote and response process, which we were pleased with. read more

Great for emergencies. I needed to fix a leaking shower faucet in a very short amount of time and Boris was able to make it out on a day or two notice. Not the cheapest, but honest, quality work, and I'd call him again. read more
