Herk's came right over when I called about a back up in our bathtub. I had lots of visiting company and they fixed the problem quickly. I asked about the pipes under the house and they took pictures and explained the situation which involved pipes that were evidently installed by someone other than a professional plumber. I requested that they replace the pipes, which they did. I was pleasantly surprised by what they charged and how efficiently they worked. I also had a minor problem with the ice maker in my freezer which they took care of also. Jose` was one of the main workers and he was very knowledgeable and easy to work with. I highly recommend Herk's read more

We had a fairly large job done by them. They showed up with a whole crew and got it done in a single day. They were so affordable, I was actually holding my breath waiting for the estimate. It was kind of an urgent issue and they could have overcharged us to fix it, but Herk Jr really helped us out. I think it's an added bonus that they are local and family owned and run. If we ever have any additional plumbing needs they will be my first call. read more

I have to give them big props again!!!!!! I called Candice about a problem at a rental Candice called the tenant lined everything up and leak was handled. I appreciate these guys great service great price. read more

Owner was very clear with communication & pricing. had emergency situation and they were there within 1.5 hours of first call on a Sunday. The job could not wait til Monday (unfortunately) for the weekend be prepared to pay an extra $300 just to come out. Jose was so polite, understood the job, and got straight to it. I appreciate that I will get photos as well for my records. The job was thoroughly done and back up & flushing in a few hours. Had to use jet to clean mainline and it was clogged with "flushable wipes" which are NOT flushable and should NEVER be flushed down toilet. They just do not break down. You've been told... I highly recommend this company. read more

Hands down the best experience when the worst thing happens to you. The water heater goes out! Herk and his team were in and out within an hour replacing my old unit! So excited for a hot shower tonight! Thank you! read more

Jr was awesome. He was able to identify that my issue was a larger problem with the city. Long story short my, backflow and water shut off was crossed with my neighbor. read more

Had one of the plumbers come to my house with zero manners. Unexpectedly rude and crass. He spoke with a demeaning tone. Accused me of "breaking" my own plumbing. And said "who f*cked with this?". We had them do all of the valves in the shower 4 years ago and thought they might have a replacement part for the part that's clearly broken. ( on the inside) I sent pictures so that he would " have the right part". He said he didn't. Awful customer service. I wouldn't have this person in my house again. Clearly irritable. *update in reply my actual plumber looked at it. But because it was done by your company he said it might be easier for them to get the parts. I did not suggest that the work is warrantied but I thought the part may be. His lack customer service, attitude, and combative stance makes me think that it's a family issue. No thank you. I will be sharing my opinion. read more

Herk's Plumbing - The picture of the broken piece that was sent to the business in advance. - Plumbing Near Me - Modesto, California

Been using Herk's Plumbing for 10+ years for all my plumbing stuff, big and small. They're the highest level of service you're gonna find--always honest and they actually keep you in the loop on what's going on. For the level of work they do, the pricing is very fair. It's a relief having a plumber you can actually trust. read more

Called Herk's for a water heater replacement. They had Jose come out within 2 hours of me calling ready to go. Jose was very professional and informative. Thank you for the great service. Would highly recommend. read more

Arrived in minutes to rescue me from a backed up sewer. He was both professional and efficient. Fair price and efficient. Thank you Herks Plumbing. If I could give them a 10 I would. read more

I highly recommend this company. They were very responsive, professional and do a great work. Their technician was at my place within a few minutes, considering it was on a Sunday. High quality workmanship and parts as well as a generous warranty not to mention competitive pricing. Thanks Herk's, you've been added to my short list of "recommend to others, and call in case of plumbing emergency". Pease keep up what you're doing. read more

We had our entire house re-piped by Herks and were amazed at how good the service was. I felt like it was the service that we used to get 30 years ago. Not only did they have the best price, but the professionalism, cleanliness and speed of doing the job left me with nothing to complain about. I had 4 of their employees doing the job and all were very courteous and made sure I was happy with just about every aspect of the job. read more

Two jobs, so far. Water heater replacement & repair of copper plumbing done incorrectly by a prior contractor at a different location. I had 5 estimates for the water heater, Herk's was near the lower end (fair & competitive). Office was easy to deal with and crew was great. On time, friendly, flexible and cooperative. Advised me on how to finish a stalled shower installation-still expensive but about half as much as my prior estimates. Would hire again. read more

Herk's replaced 110' sewer line for us, very reasonable quote with no surprise/additional costs, and job was finished within a week (with minimal cleanup/landscaping needed by us). No issues so far, we won't hesitate to hire them again. Thank you! read more

We continue to use Herks and are not disappointed! Herk Jr came out today and was so great. Nice guy and got our leaky toilet fixed. We've had them fix our sink in the past and haven't had issues. He came earlier than expected too and we so appreciate that!! read more

Very helpful, reasonable, and straightforward. I was very unhappy with the plumbing problems I had to take care of, but I couldn't have been happier with the service they provided. The guys seemed like they genuinely cared about looking out for us and we came up with a plan that allowed us to get the problem fixed affordably. Very easy to work with. Very timely repairs. Everything seems to be working great. I chose them because they worked with a good friend of ours who was having a plumbing issue and an upcoming surgery where she couldn't go up the stairs. They were extremely thoughtful about her situation and got the job taken care of. They're 2 for 2 in my book. read more

Herk's Plumbing save the day. I've hired them a couple times now and could not be happier with the service. Competent staff and very easy to work with. Would definitely recommend them for your plumbing needs. Had them out again today to swap a sink for me, and fix one of my shower too. All went great. The plumber is a real good guy and very fair. read more

The guys were great. They were knowledgeable and efficient. They came in and repaired our faucets and didn't try to sell us anything that we didn't need. read more

These company knows what they're doing they hire great service people who know exactly what they're doing. They fixed my problem immediately and I do recommend them read more

We have been using Herk's Plumbing for all our plumbing needs, for several years. They have handled a large variety of jobs for us, such as installing earthquake shut-off valves on gas lines, replacement water heaters, installation of a clean-out for existing drain line to septic tank, removing roots from drain lines, even the replacement of all drain lines under a modular home. They are honest, very qualified, fair, and reasonable. They have accomplished every job quickly and completely. We highly recommend them, and like supporting a local family-owned business. read more

I had Herk's install two new toilets and put in a new shower head. The guys did a great job and were very tidy and businesslike. This is my second great experience with Herk's and if I need work in the future I will call Herk's. read more

Short review: Quick response time, very professional, great price. Would highly recommend the business. Long version: I submitted a request for a plumber to find and fix a leak behind my shower wall first thing in the morning. Herk's plumbing was the first to respond so I called to schedule a time to come out. Initially the woman on the phone asked if I was available in the afternoon the following day, and I asked if there was anyway they could come out today because I was really hoping to get the leak fixed asap. After a brief moment on hold she told me that the owner would be able to come out within an hour or two. Herk dropped what he was doing and showed up to my house quickly to assess the leak and then went to get his work truck to come back and fix it. He was very professional and charged me what I thought was a more than fair price. I greatly appreciate the effort made to come out on such short notice to fix the leak. I felt like I got emergency service without having to pay for emergency response. I will definitely be calling Herk's Plumbing first if any other plumbing needs come up in the future. read more

I have used Herk's Plumbing 3 times for cleaning out sewer lines and I finally replaced the sewage and drain pipes under a 1964 house that needed to be upgraded and updated. Quality service, good value. Company owner- great service! Owners son- Not good customer service! read more

Extremely disrespectful technician (Dustin) over the phone. Poor customer service and not knowledgeable. Don't recommend.

I have to use them many times they seem extremely honest and they try to do the best they can for you on the price.

They came out and took care of the issue, very thorough in what I needed fixed and prevention recommendations. The two gentleman that came out were very respectful. read more

Very happy with this company's service. I originally had a problem at my primary residence. They were very quick and efficient in installing new toilet at a fair price. Next problem a few days later, my tenant had a water heater problem at rental house. Again called Herk's and they took care installing new water quickly at a fair price. They are on my list as go to plumbers! read more

The guy who came out was able to arrive within 30 mins of my call, he was nice, and that's where the good ends. $250 for 40 mins of work is criminal. This is an industry that holds you hostage to your own repair needs. You get to choose between astronomical rates and sewage pouring into your house. He left me to repair and fix the pipe he dug up and knocked a hole into fire the rooting. Told me to unfold a soda can, use that to cover the hole, and then just pile dirt on top of it. For $250 you'd think the repair guy could do that little bit of repair. I would highly suggest replacing your dispatcher (who seemed very annoyed to have to field my call early on a Sunday morning.... get a different job?) position with a customer service representative position, who actually has knowledge of the company and can answer questions before being charged for a site visit. When asking about services or pricing, she said she was just the dispatcher and didn't know any of that, but this morning discussing that the problem wasn't solved yet, she seemed to know everything about the process and prices. Just another skeezy tactic to get them out to your house and charge you for the visit. I challenge you to be better, but you won't because $$$$ Edit for response: You bet I'm complaining! People are poor! I had to choose between having sewage in my house and being able to poop and pee, vs eating something other than Ramen for the next few weeks. If you don't want to work on the weekend then close up shop and don't work on the weekend. Grocery stores don't charge extra for being open on the weekend. Gas stations don't charge extra for being open on the weekend. Thousands of businesses are open on the weekend and they don't charge anything extra. Your response reads like "Well, we pillage, plunder, and steal less than other pirates, so you should be thankful." AND the bathtub is still draining slowly so you didn't fix anything. It's only 8:15 and I've been throwing up all morning. I'll call now so you can have your precious money! read more

What can I say about this company...... They are professional, prompt, reliable, efficient. 5 stars are not enough. We needed a new water heater installed and they were so great and patient with us in our panic - we even got a phone call to confirm that all was good. I will definitely recommend them in the future. read more

I tried to stay local. I called Herks. they were prompt efficient and we were very happy. called them again for a follow up on an item they recommended. they took my filter apart and I asked how much the bill would be they said over $400. I said never mind I'll do the work myself. it took me 30 minutes and I did it. I managed to put the filter back together. I'll never use them again. read more

I had a leak from my upstairs bathroom: called them, got a reasonable quote. They were fast and nice. Recommended

We sed Herk's plumbing for the 1st time today. We were having trouble with our toilets flushing and thought maybe something was clogging the line. The guys called to let us know that they would be here within a 1/2 hr. and they were. They came in and made an assessment of our problem and had it totally resolved in less than an hour!! We can't say enough about this company!! They're honest, fair priced, polite and friendly. Not to mention they're pretty darn good at what they do!! If you're having any plumbing issues I would HIGHLY recommend calling Herk's!! I know we will if we ever have plumbing issues again!! Thank you guys!! You were life savers!! Great job!! read more

Quick response for an emergency situation. Had a leak and Herk responded right away and fixed the leak.

Our house is 90+ years old and has needed a lot of work. We have used Herk's several times: to replace all of our old piping, fix a leaky faucet, install a water and gas line. Each time they were kind, quick and professional. I don't know anything about what is good pricing but what we've paid seems reasonable and the employee giving quotes always came across as very genuine. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in need of plumbing services. read more

Called Herks on a Monday and they came out to give a free estimate on Tuesday morning. Dustin called me 30 minutes before arriving and greeted my pups at the door. He immediately got to work and provided fair estimates for installing a new kitchen faucet, fixing two randomly running toilets, and a new water heater. He provided a detailed explanation on pros and cons of tankless water heaters and explanations on the issues with the toilets. He was able to install the new kitchen faucet and fix one toilet on the spot at a fair price. Dustin was friendly, courteous, knowledgeable, and Left my house spotless. We will definitely be using them to install a new toilet and a new water heater next month! Highly recommend this company for all your plumbing needs! read more

I had an ADU project at my home and was referred to Herks. I was quoted a price and agreed to begin the project. After a few hours of busting up my concrete the plumber that was working the project told me that they wanted to charge me more money or they were going to leave the job. I agreed to an additional over $1,000 from what I was quoted. The plumber that was left here to do the job seemed very inexperienced and did terrible work. I also was told I was going to get a tankless Navien NPE-240A2 water heater. I just realized that they lied to me and installed the NPE-240S2 which does not have the built-in recirculation that I requested. After the inexperienced plumber they left here to do the work kept screwing up and taking more and more time out of ignorance the owner's son showed up on the next the last day and gave me grief because his plumber was lying to him because the job was taking him so long. The owner which showed up on the last day and he was very unprofessional and acted like a jerk because the plumber they had here lied through his teeth and was doing slow terrible work and put the blame on me somehow. Here I am thanking the water heater I bought and paid for was the model I wanted and now I see I was lied to about that as well. I did not recommend this company. Overall it was very unprofessional and they did very sloppy unprofessional work. I thought I was saving money using them and was given a deal initially and then my job was basically held for ransom to get more money out of me and they sold me a cheaper water heater that does not do what I wanted it to do. Steer clear of this company I really regret not going with someone else. Business reply below is a complete lie and an example of what I just stated. I have texts to show what model water heater I was supposed to get. Terrible to do business with. Proceed with caution you've been warned read more

OK, for anyone looking for a good plumbing company, this is it! I had a terrible, foul sewage smell in my bedroom and couldn't figure out where it was coming from. I called Herk's and they sent a guy within a day of calling, he was friendly, not over talkative, and discussed everything with me and took the time to even look at another issue I was having. He crawled under my home and within minutes, confirmed where the smell was coming from and told me how it would need to be fixed. I set the appointment and he was back in two days from the original call and fixed the issue within an hour. I have their number now locked in my personal cell to use them for ALL FUTURE PLUMBING ISSUES. Cliff was my technician and he is awesome! No pics to add since the issue was underneath my mobile home. read more

Arrived early. That was great! Very friendly and introduced himself. Went right to work. Great job and drain fixed! Would recommend.

The service I had from Herks was in late April 2025, so SORRY for this late review. I had used Herks before and was pleased with their work. This time I had a toliet that was stopped up, sometimes working, sometimes it wouldn't flush water/waste down. The owners son, (I am sorry, but I have forgotten his name) came out and did a free estimate. Turns out he "snaked" the toliet and found a toliet bowl refresher clip that had fallen into the toliet. He charged me absolutely Nothing for the service call. WOW, I was very very impressed, he was professional, friendly and solved my problem.. for me it was a big deal. Thank You Herks... I will always return to this company for my plumbing needs... EXCELLENT...!!!!! SERVICE............ read more
