The "hard to source" cartridge that needed replacing.
E. T.

UPDATE: Following my original review, the company supervisor(or owner) contacted me immediately to express alarm over the situation. To their credit, they dispatched a second technician to my home within 30 minutes to fix the shower at no charge. However, what the second technician uncovered only confirms how predatory the first technician was. When the second tech pulled out the "new" cartridge that the first plumber had just installed, it was the wrong part entirely (see the new attached photo of the blue cartridge). The first plumber had intentionally installed an incompatible Delta model (blue) instead of the standard one my shower required (gray). This guaranteed the shower would keep leaking so he could pressure me into cutting open my bathroom walls for thousands of dollars. The second technician easily found the correct cartridge right in his truck and fixed the leak perfectly in a short amount of time. I am grateful to the company supervisor ( or owner) for handling this so quickly and resolving it for free, but consumers need to be aware of the extreme lengths the first technician went to in order to fabricate a catastrophic plumbing failure. For this reason, I am only adding 1 star to my original review. He also told me he would be "talking to his crew", but in my opinion, any employee who is blatantly commiting criminal consumer fraud should be fired, not just "talked to". There is no telling how many people were lied to and ripped off. Please protect yourselves.

Clogged pipe, roots in the pipe from the camera
Roozbeh Z.

Kevin is the greatest plumber. We have a house in Burlingame, and every often we faced with the clogged pipes. The first time happened a year ago, and then 6 month after, and then 3 months after. Every time, I had a hard time getting a plumber to come and look at the problem. Each time, we had to go to home depot myself/themselves to get an Snake (tool to unclog the pipe), and pay $300-$700 for them to open the pipes. It was a huge disaster. This time, I am very happy that I have called Discount Plumbing. There are several things RIGHT about these guys: 1. They use an Automated (Artificial Intelligence) receptionist that schedules an appointment over the phone. So we got an appointment on Sunday quickly 2. They sent a technician in 2-3 hours after I called them, and the tecnician actually came during the promised window 3. The technician has all the tools needed for the job. He had Snake, Camera and whatever he needed (I think he has $100K+ worth of equipments in his van) 4. Kevin, the plumber, fixed the problem in 1 hour while the previous plumbers would waste 7+ hours to do this. 5. Even though the technician was alone, he was very very competent, and better than teams of plumbers that I have hired in the past 6. Before start doing the job, he clearly mentioned the cost of the job UPDATE originally I have reviewed them as 5 stars. Unfortunately their work broke in 5 days, and when I called them to "please come back and take a look", they said they will come at 12pm. I was waiting till 6pm, and then they called to reschedule for another day. That has left me with a clogged line for the whole day. I am updating their review from 5 stars to one star.

Old ptrap
Mark T.

Great service and very friendly. Antonio S. helped us out with a leaking ptrap under our sink and was very informative on how outdated our pipes were and how he can improve the flow of the ptrap. Throughout the entire peocess, he was very communicative and updated us frequently on what he was doing. The replacement turned out great and with no problems. Would love his help again in the near future if any plumbing issues arise!

Hair!!!

Kevin was fast and efficient. He had to snake approx 30ft down the pipe to unclog my drain using a powered sewer snake and pulled out a glob of hair...! PSA: tell you loved ones to pick up and throw their hair in the trash!

See all

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the professional and friendly staff, fast response times, and clear communication.

For the first time in 33 years our sewer backed up this week. We didn't recognize what was going on…read morefor a couple days so by the time we understood we had a problem the blockage was solid. I called Precision because of the Yelp ratings, and I am glad I did. From the start they were quick, professional, understood the problem, and excellent at fixing it. The woman scheduled Raymond to come by sometime between two and five hours from my call. About an hour and a half from my call he phoned to tell me he was enroute and he arrived 20 minutes later. That was blessedly fast! Ray's approach was logical and skilled. He first tried a cable rooting but eventually wound up having to come inside the garage and hydrojetting the clog. All along he explained what he was doing and why he needed to try another approach. He was informative, friendly, professional, AND got the sewer unclogged! Our problem was completely solved in just a few hours after we first contacted Precision. Thank you!

The staff respond quickly, are able to explain what the issue is, and give clear plans/explanation on how help address it. There are also able to give a quote based on the service and do honor their warranty if something is needed (based on experience). I think it's a good value and like the fact that we're supporting a local business. Additionally Evelyn from customer service and Mario are very professional and take the time to listen to what is needed. Would recommend to others. Thank you Precision Rooter & Drain.

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!

Ryan came out promptly within the pre-arranged window of time to investigate our toilet, which was…read moreburping intermittently following some recent water shutoffs in our building. He inspected it thoroughly and determined that there was no issue - most likely some air in the pipes following the shutoffs and resulting plumbing work. On that basis, he didn't charge us for the inspection. I was also really impressed with the safety precautions the company took. Before our appointment window, they texted me a picture of Ryan so I could be sure of who I was letting into my home. They also checked whether we had any pets during the initial booking call, to avoid sending a plumber who might be allergic. These are fairly small things, but they did a lot for our peace of mind. All in all, we were impressed, and would happily call on Discount Plumbing again for future needs.

I was very disappointed with this company. I thought, incorrectly, that the would be cheaper than…read moreothers. First, they took two days to get back to me on a problem that was on-going (toilet would not stop running) When they did, they sent a techniciant (Lazlo) who was curt and tried to upsale me. For example : He said it would tak $600 to fix, and when I asked him how much to just replace the toilet, he said $1300. Money is tight, and he showed no empathy in that regard. He told me he would need to be paid immediately, rather than sending me an invoice. And he was not friendly, or particulary sympathic to the cost I may be facing. He said he had to pull out the toilet to repair it, and the labor of that and replacing it would be a lot of money. I let him go, and called Advanced plumbing. They were here in a matter of hours (vs the two day wait from Discount) , came and fixed the problem without pulling out the toilet, to a total charge of $300. I've learned over time that a lot of these guys are trying to scam you and run up the bill. My advice is to shop around, and certainly don't deal with a serviceman who is less than professional, trying to increase your spending, and generally gives you a bad impression. Obviously, Discount plumbine (a misnomer) is off my list.

Emilio and his service really lived up to the namesake of his company…read more I had a straightforward clogged shower drain. Long story short: The cost was $150. (Which is great, considering that when I hunting around for other plumbing companies, I was getting quoted for less than $350, of which the plumber first had to come for a consultation, then book a separate date to actually do the work). I made an appointment with Emilio and Awesome Rooter & Plumbing a few days in advance. Emilio arrived 10 minutes early. He had shoe covers and was very prepared. I thought I was only going to get a quote, but Emilio brought along his handheld drill-based drain snake. Emilio took a look at my clogged drain for 5 minutes, suggested we use his snake. He did it right on the spot, and it took less than 10 mins, and had my drain running smoothly again. 30 day warranty on his work. I would definitely recommend Emilio and Awesome Rooter & Plumbing for straightforward drain clogs.

Contacted this company last night regarding a backup that was affecting both sinks in our kitchen…read moreusing the request quote form on Yelp. Sent a photo of our drain and pipe setup below our kitchen. Emiliano replied within minutes with availability and a range for an estimate. Provided a one hour scheduling window (AWESOME!) and showed up on time this morning. Cleared the clog and took a look at a faucet drip we were having in another room. Made recommendations on dealing with that issue. Was done within 45 minutes! Price was on target to original quote and communication was excellent. Thank you for going above and beyond.
