When I bought my house, a vapor barrier was installed in the crawl space beneath my house. The…read moreprimary benefit was to keep underseepage water vapor from creating mold or damaging the lumber. There was a 1/3HP sump pump (with a plastic impeller) installed to convey water to a nearby drainage ditch. One January afternoon, my wife and I return home from trip only to hear the sump pump making crazy sounds. I investigated only to find the sump pump broke and had been spewing water into the crawl-space. The downside to having the vapor barrier was now the water couldn't seep back into the ground and was sitting on the plastic. I hired a restoration company who did a horrible job but eventually got the water cleared a whole other story), and I needed to hire a plumber to help me replace the broken sump pump and inspect the rest of the system. I reviewed several local plumbers and selected Jeff - firstly because he is a man of faith and I felt like I should be able to trust him. Jeff was responsive, a clear communicator, on time and did great work. I couldn't have asked for better. Additionally, I feel like he went above and beyond. He advised me on the kind of sump pump that would last longer and perform better (1/2HP with stainless steel impeller). This empowered me to compare with the 1/3HP & plastic impeller from various retailers and in the end I went with his recommendation. Jeff could have done what, in my experience, most contractors would do - buy the cheapest replacement and mark-up "materials" on the invoice. Instead, I purchased the sump I wanted and he replaced and tested it to ensure the system worked. I would do business with Jeff again and recommend him to everyone!

The rest of the job he did was just as perfect and we had great conversations too. We look forward to use Jeff's services again and my warmest recommendation to all of you out there!

Overall I had a great experience with Always Affordable Plumbing. I mainly wanted someone who could get the job done with a fair and reasonable price. Based on their NAME and past reviews, I took a bet on these guys. I say I took a bet, because they still charge $60 for a consultation. If you go with them after the consultation, they won't charge you for it. But if you go w another business after their consultation, they'll charge you. I get why-- it cost time and gas for someone to come over and diagnose a problem. But if you have to pay $60 for someone to even look at the problem...you're probably going to have to go with them or you're out another $60. There's really no shopping around, so I have to make sure these guys weren't going to charge me an arm and a leg. I found another business that quoted me $225, I would've gone w them but they responded after I already had these guys at the house. Good to know I was within a similar quoted price range though. Will consider them again for future troubles.

He wanted to make it right with me. he did, but you never forget that first experience. Well, now they are back to the same thing. I've been trying to cancel their annual service membership since April 27th, 2026. I was told that they had canceled it right then and there while I was on the phone. I received an email from them on May 3rd saying that my upcoming auto payment for the service that I had canceled was coming up and that it had gone from $199.00 a year to $249.00. I called to make sure that it had been canceled. Nothing happened. I responded to the email. It was kicked back to me. I emailed at the email in the invoice...three times and no reply. I called twice today. The lady that answered transferred me to the woman in charge of that. It rang a couple of times and hung up on me. I called back and was told to email them or use the other woman's voice mail, except it never goes to voicemail and I already mentioned how nobody responds to the emails. I can't tell you if their service is any good. I hired them to fix something, and they didn't fix it. We thought that they did, but they didn't. Now I'm fed up. I highly do NOT recommend this business.

Not once, but twice in two months does Early Bird Pluming come to my rescue!…read more I'm the property manager of a 14-unit apartment complex, in which 11 units get their water heated through a central system. The system was two giant water heater tanks that held 120 gallons of water each and weighted about 1,500+ pound filled. In early May, one of the tanks broke down and instead of storing water, was gushing water out of the tank nearly flooding the riser room where they are housed. The other tank just stopped working due to an faulty ignition error where the pilot would just not ignite the gas. I was able by sheer guess work to shut down the water and I called multiple plumbers, but none were available, seemed competent or even wanted the business. So I contacted the support number for the water tanks and they referred me to several nearby plumbing companies in Sacramento that were verified vendors. The one I picked was EMC Plumbing which is now called Early Bird Plumbing. The reason I picked them was because they had the best reviews out of the bunch. They sent a tech named Cody who was very personable and listened intently on what the issue was. After evaluating the situation and looking at the options Cody and his company provided, the best decision was to go with a tankless system. The one we decided to go with the Korean Navien brand as that's considered the best in the world. After the permitting was complete with the Sacramento city in one day, they got to work. And from the pictures attached to this review, you can just see the quality of the work and all the refitting of the pipes and fixtures that is not only functionally great but also looks great too! All this was done a within four days, which considering they retrofitted a whole new system that feeds hot water to 11 apartment units, is quite astonishing! Then just recently like yesterday as I'm writing this, one of my units had a ceiling leak and of course the plumber I contact was Early Bird and not surprisingly, all their staff was busy fixing a gas leak as good companies are always busy, but the owner Mike came out to personally help me. We found that as this apartment complex was built 10 years ago, it seemed as when they were building out the internal fixtures, one of the crew as they were screwing in a towel holder into the wall and ended up screwing into the hot water pipe too that eventually caused the leak! Fortunately, Mike was able to find this leak and got to work to fix it and it was done that day. It's rare to get one good experience with a vendor, but even more when it's twice in two months and this indicates that they are one of the best plumbing companies in the Sacramento area. I highly recommend them and with how hard it is to find an honest and competent pluming vendor, they should be your go to as well!

I did some research looking around, decided to pick this company. Ricky & Kenny arrived (same day, luckily with a cancellation giving me a spot!) I was greeted with good etiquette, they covered their shoes and took a look at my problem. They saw I began to attempt the repair but was not confident in my ability; They tried to encourage me to attempt it. I really appreciated the good faith and honesty that this veteran-owned company displayed and decided to have them perform repairs. The job was finished in about 40 minutes. DIYing is great because you get to save a bunch of money, but the price to have professionals complete the job was actually less than I anticipated. This is possibly because they are a family-owned, local business which is always a plus. If you are currently looking for plumbing services, I suggest giving them a call and see what you think, the consultation was worth it, but having them complete the job was definitely a worthy decision.
