F&A Plumbing is now my go-to plumber for our 100-plus year-old San Francisco building. The insurance company for our 4-unit building required automatic earthquake shut-off valves on the 4 gas meters, and gave us a very short time to comply. I submitted photos and a project description to 17 plumbing companies on Yelp, requesting their price and timeframe for this work. Early that same day Firas (also known as Frank) of F&A Plumbing submitted back a competitive firm price and ability to schedule the work to be completed right away. The work was completed by Firas and his helper as scheduled, for the price quoted, with very good quality, even much quicker than originally expected. Thank you, Firas! read more

I manage an Airbnb and had a small plumbing disaster where 3 toilets, 2 in full bathrooms and 1 in a half bathroom, were all seemingly clogged. Big mess, lots of gross water in places it shouldn't be, and my valiant plunging efforts were doing no good at all. With guests checking into the Airbnb in a short period of time, I called F&A Plugging and Rooter with an urgent request to send a plumber to my Airbnb that very day. Not only was the lady on the phone very nice, but she understood the urgency of the situation. After quickly collecting information about the situation, she let me know that a plumber would be able to come that day, in about two hours. I was so relieved. Then, something even better happened. About 20 minutes after I booked the appointment, the plumber himself called me and asked if he could come by in 30 minutes - a full 1.5 hours ahead of schedule! I agreed, met him at the place, and he assessed the situation quickly and professionally. He diagnosed the plumbing issue, made a recommendation on how best to fix it, gave me a price, and got to work. Within another hour the problem was fixed. I had a great experience with F&A Plumbing and would absolutely go back to them if any other issues ever arose. read more

I've been using F&A for my plumbing needs at my home in San Francisco for the past few years and they are simply the best. Frank is the friendliest, most understanding, and professional person you could ever want to show up at your home when you are stressed about a plumbing problem- big or small. I've worked with F&A on both. He and his crew are very easy to communicate with over text, and will always fit you in last minute if they have time-- which is awesome when you want to fix something in a pinch and want someone you can trust. I found them through good reviews online, and I want to pay that forward because the service and overall experience was exactly what I would want for someone else! Frank is also super professional about sharing the cost with you right away and sharing the options-- or mentioning that he'll make a quote and think about it if it's a complicated job. Very clear and transparent. That's really helpful for making a decision in real time and he keeps to his word. Oddly looking forward to my next plumbing issue because it's really nice to have people you can trust working on your home. read more

Great service and a fantastic job fixing my kitchen sink I would definitely use them again read more

We found this service via Yelp and requested for a quote for a kitchen sink replacement. Firas responds promptly, set up an appt to come by to give us a free quote and consultation; scheduled for an installation based on the product arrival date we had ordered for. we ran into an unexpected issues (we have an old kitchen counter probably from 1950 so it turned out not to be the standard. size we thought it was) but Firas and Steven went above and beyond to make it work and now we're thrilled to have a nice brand new sink. i would highly recommend their service for any plumbing related issues you need. would definitely use their service again in the future. thank you so much for the amazing job guys! read more

A broken faucet handle and water leak were expertly diagnosed and handled: They arrived early and worked expediently and could not Gabe been more friendly. Make F&A Plumbing your first call for any plumbing needs large or small. read more

Firas and Steven were very knowledgeable in fixing or kitchen sink. They were on time and updated us when they were on the way. Our pipe sink was basically leaking and we hardly used our dishwasher. However, everytime we turned on the dishwasher, the water would be coming out and it would cause a flood on our countertop. They were so quick in doing the job and knew exactly what the issue was. They cleaned out the air gap hose and fixed whatever was causing the sink to clog. Highly recommend them. read more

Honest, minimalistic approach to plumbing. Highly recommend, very different company than the big corp plumbers. Won't push unnecessary changes or work on you. read more

Needed a new water heater pronto. Called Frank, sent him some photos and had a price in 30 minutes. Others wanted to come out late in the afternoon and give an estimate. My water heater was up and running in the afternoon thanks to Frank at F&A Plumbing. read more

Super fast, professional, friendly, reasonably priced. Found them on Yelp and would recommend over and over again. Called them at 10am, they came around 3pm, got the job done in an hour. read more

Frank was exceptionally punctual and friendly. He answered all of my numerous and fiddly questions, communicated some extenuating circumstances we'll need to deal with down the road, and finished the repair within the original arrival window. I definitely feel like I have that "who do I call when I have a plumbing problem" solved now. read more

Always reliable and friendly, quick to respond, and knowledgable. Our go-to plumber when issues come up.

I highly recommend F&A: Firas & his team offer very competitive pricing, are very responsive & cooperative, and do great work.

Plumber Brian was patient and friendly.....completed the job within reasonable time....he installed new kitchen faucet

Had a backed up storm drain that multiple other plumbers mentioned I'd need to spend $5-10k to fix and pull permits due to needing to demo a sidewalk. Firas came out to look and said he'd give it a shot to unclog it. After 2 hours and $500 he fully unclogged it and solved the problem, likely for the long term. Totally worth the money and saved us a ton. read more

My ceiling started leaking water so I called my landlord and he called Frank at F&A. Frank came by assessed the issue and within that same day repaired the leak. The drain pipe that ran along my ceiling had a hole, so Frank was able to replace the pipe and made sure there weren't any other leaks. The fact that he was able to repair within that same day was amazing to me. Well worth the price! read more

Amazing job! The air vent on our dishwasher was flooding water across our counters and below the sink. They were quick to respond, friendly, and very knowledgable. They checked in to give us updates on arrival time and fixed everything right away. Thank you Frank and Brayan! We will definitely use them again if we are in need of plumbing help. read more

We looked local after buying our house in South City when we wanted to upgrade our old plumbing & fixtures. Frank (F&A Plumbing) was incredibly responsive to our initial questions, helped us plan out the project, and gave us fair quotes in a timely fashion. Before we could start the project our old water heater died and Frank came over the same day to remedy the situation, and within the day next day we had a new tank-less water heater installed! Phew! Frank and his team installed brand new copper pipes throughout our home, added a dishwasher in our kitchen, and tirelessly installed our complex shower setup (that we love!). He also replaced an old drain line in the bathroom that we uncovered. During the project, he recommended other contractors who helped us make updates to our kitchen and bathroom - work that was outside the scope of the plumbing upgrades. I can't speak highly enough of F&A Plumbing, Frank, and his crew. If you're looking for great service/work/people, look no further! Thanks again! read more

Frank is a professional and a pleasure to work with. I had a water hammering issue with a hot water pipe and Frank diagnosed the problem and was able to fix the issue and at a very reasonable price. He was a very friendly person as well! If I ever have any other plumbing/pipe issues in the future, he'll be the first guy I call. Highly recommended! Thanks Frank! read more

I needed two things: installation of a P-trap and re-installing a toilet that another plumber had botched twice. F&A got both jobs done perfectly and knew exactly what the other plumber had been doing wrong, fixing it with no issue. Would recommend! read more

We highly recommend Frank and his team! We've used F & A Plumbing several times at different locations and have always been happy with Frank's work. This time, we had a broken waste line under our house. Frank showed up on time, removed and replaced the split pipe, and completed the work in half the time I expected. Thank you, Frank and Danny! read more

Interesting experience. My toilet wasn't flushing and these guys made it to my house within a few hours of me calling - very quick. However, their "solution" was telling me I just need a new toilet. Maybe they thought because I'm a woman they can take advantage, or they were just inexperienced young guys. I pushed back a lot saying that seems like a last resort, dropped some technical terms to let them know I have some knowledge about plumbing, and they relented half an hour later saying well "eventually" you need a new toilet. I gave them one star because they did somewhat fix my toilet by replacing a 20$ part and charging me 236$ for the service. If your solution to a small problem is to just get a new toilet - maybe you need to rethink your approach. read more

Kitchen sink clogged with a leaking pipe just a few days before Thanksgiving--just great. Someone in the kitchen was going a little to H.AM. Thankfully Frank answered his phone, provided details and estimates, and got his guys out to the house within a couple hours. I used the Yelp project feature to reach bout to a handful of plumbers and the DMs started to come through within the first few minutes. Some quotes were pretty high and just straight up availability was rough with the holiday week. Frank's team came and fixed the leaking pipe but when we ran the water (after they left already) we noticed the sink was still clogged. Oops! After we called him, he got his guys back to the house first this in the morning and fixed it all up for no extra charge. Super appreciated they got this done quick because scheduling someone to come to the house is as difficult as scheduling someone to be home. Frank was very responsive via calling and text. Def felt like a priority! Sink, pipe, kitchen, and Thanksgiving is saved thanks to F&A. read more

If you have the time and inclination to bid out your project, hey, knock yourself out. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and call F and A Plumbing. Twice now, our condo association has solicited multiple bids for plumbing repair; water heater replacement and sewage pipe replacement. Each time F and A had the most competitive bid, kept every appointment, explained their process,tidied up their work area, finished on schedule, and did it all with a smile and a joke or two at no extra charge. It is reassuring to know a service provider you can trust. read more

I would give this company 6 stars if I could. Called them up to fix a gas issue we had with our front yard (previous owner had DIY'ed a bunch of tiki torches). Owner was very pleasant and friendly. Within 1 hour, 2 technicians (also friendly and knowledgeable) showed up at my house in Millbrae. They had to do some digging and diagnostics, and found a small gas leak. They informed me that I could shut the gas off or cut it off if there continued to be problems. Since I just chose to shut it off, they didn't even charge me even though they sent two technicians for the better part of an hour! I will definitely be in touch with F&A for all future plumbing needs. Highly recommend! read more

Water main valve was leaking. Requested a quote through Yelp on a Sunday- received a reply a few hours later. Frank came by the following Monday morning and gave a very reasonable estimate; He came back in the afternoon and completed the job. I would use this company again for future plumbing needs. Highly recommend! read more

Frank picked up the phone when we called this morning with water flooding onto the bathroom floor and said that he would send someone out within an hour. Anthony--a total pro--arrived within 45 minutes and snaked out the main drain line and we are back in business. Anthony showed up with a mask, was friendly and reassuring, and explained what he was going to do to deal with our problem. He then got to work and quickly powered through the clog. This isn't our first experience with F&A--they replaced our water heater when it died on 4th of July weekend four years ago, again responding very quickly. Over the last couple of years, they also replaced our kitchen faucet and an old sink in our garage. F&A's service has been consistently excellent and reasonably priced. Very highly recommended! read more

Picture this... Preparing dinner with potatoes fondant and putting the potato skins and scraps, turning on the garbage disposal thinking everything would be fine. Only to find out about an hour or so later how horrible of an idea that was. Yep, you guessed it....and I learned it. DO NOT throw potato skins in your garbage disposal!! I was left with standing water in my sink. My Home Depot purchased non-commercial snake, drain cleaner and plunger had no effect on the blockage at all. I opted to call F&A plumbing who were able to schedule a visit within a couple of hours. I received a text notification the request was placed and then another message when the tech was scheduled to arrive. Jonathan showed up right on-time. I mean within minutes of the scheduled start time. Super friendly and sympathetic to the mess I created for myself. Jonathan took a look, gave me a price quote along with an ETA for everything to be back to normal. Within that time, my sink was fixed and my potato skins are now the City's problem (hope they have a better garbage disposal ;)). Everything was left clean and just how it had been before. Great communiation and customer service! Would absolutely use again! read more

Same day service very great price super professional. Frank came up with a creative answer to a tough problem. The only plumber I'll ever use!!! read more

Frank was very honest and straight forward. He told me the cost of the labor and advise me there's some mark on the parts. He didn't have anyone that can come out on a Sunday night but they can arrange someone for Monday afternoon. I texted him next Monday morning if he has anyone earlier. He sent someone to come over in the next 2 hours. They gave me a reasonable quote and they completed the work with in a hours. They technician was very friendly and straight forward. I already ask for quote for other works that I am planning to do. Great service and straight forward. read more

Frank is awesome and definitely open during COVID! Don't be fooled by the YELP page. I was trying to DIY something and at 9pm i finally gave up and had to turn off the water. I contacted Frank and he came the same morning and helped us get water back on. Did super nice work and went the extra mile to get us back up and running. Will definitely consider him my go to plumber for sure. read more

We had backup issues with a toilet line that had been cleared by another company for over $800. Within a week the issue returned and the other local company's only proposal for resolution was $6,200 in pipe repairs and they said it was impossible to clear the line. We called around and found F&A. They came right out and found a less evasive way to clear line (without ripping off the toilet which the other company did twice). Within an hour the line was cleared again. They proposed if it continued they could do a pipe correction for $1,300 and one that made sense and fit the problem. We opted for that. They sent out a crew and completed the work quickly and stayed on budget. So relieved we found them. We try to support local businesses. Give them a call. I'm glad I did. read more

We had to have our sewer line replaced because tree roots had clogged the old ceramic pipe. Frank's initial estimate was $6200 but after he looked at the pipe and determined that only sections of it had to be replaced he lowered his estimate by $800. He and his crew were able install the new pipe in one day, he took care of the permits and inspection from Daly City, and generally made the whole process run smoothly. We highly recommend him. read more

Needing plumbing done is scary! Bc let's face it adulting sucks!!! Come in F &a plumbing and rooter!!! I've seen their trucks around Pacifica and if that many ppl are using them they must be good!
