At the end of March 2026, I submitted a project in Yelp asking for help to unclog my toilet. I…read moreinitially attempted to use my automatic snake to free up the debris that was clogging the toilet but the snake was stuck and I couldn't pull it out, and so I got help using Yelp to find me a licensed contractor. The plumber was able to pull out the snake but it doing so the at the end of the snake it had a bunch of fiber glass insulation maybe the size of a golf ball. As he continued to do his work, he then called me a 2nd time to show me what he pulled out of the drain, which was a softball size of Wall insulation. We were both puzzled as to how insulation was in the plumbing. At first he said that maybe the installation was not done correctly and may have been done in a way where the venting just went into the attic and the snake ended up pulling insulation from the attic. But I then by checked and went into the attic and noticed that the venting went all the way through the roof as per code, and so the plumber mentioned then that someone must of flushed this material down the toilet. This didn't make sense because there's no logical reason why my daughter or my wife would have access to insulation on the 2nd floor of my house to even put down the toilet. I questioned him again and he said that there was no other way except that the insulation was put there intentionally and thus clogged the toilet. I asked him also if he had a camera to inspect, but he said he forgot it. So after "unclogging" the toilet he then did some tests like draining water down the toilet and verified that it was draining properly. I asked if everything is working order and that he fixed the problem, and he responded that he did. I paid him the $325 for the service and he left. Fast forward to today, we heard a bang from something falling and to later find out that my wedding Portrait has fallen off the wall. Upon closer inspection, I noticed that the drywall was wet and moist. Btw, this area of the wall hides the drain pipe from the 2nd floor bathroom and upon further investigation, I saw that the iron drain pipe was disconnected from the rubber grommet that connects to the pvc 45 degree elbow drain. So all this time my bathroom drain was not going down the iron pipe but instead falling down like a waterfall down to the first floor behind the interior walls. I spoke to the plumber and he refuses to take responsibility and says the he did the job and unclogged the toilet. He insisted that it was my problem and that he did was he was hired to do. I explained to him that yes he unclogged the toilet but in doing so he inadvertently jarred the drain pipe off the rubber grommet that connected it to the main PVC pipe, and also it now makes sense that the metal snake caught the insulation from the wall rather than insulation which he suggested was in the drain pipe by someone placing it down the drain. He's arguing that it was my doing that I got the metal snake caught in the first place and so the fact that he removed it, he felt he did his job. Below are the pictures of what happens when a plumber doesn't have the right tools(camera) to ensure all the plumbing he worked on is working and in order before leaving a job.

We thought the dishwasher was leaking and called Hector. He arrived and diagnosed the real problem: old, old pipes.

I like that he thinks before he acts and he keep his customer informed on a regular basis. If there is a choice to be made, he explains it completely and backs it up with detailed photos. He and his staff are very respectful of your property and they are very clean. He does not do things half way. We are very satisfied and give his firm our highest recommendation.

I was working with Taylor from Top Tier Plumbing on fixing issues with our plumbing system that was…read morebacking up our toilet and sink. He came out and checked the issue and at first quoted me $1500 then went down to $800, not sure how there was such a difference in cost but anyway, we paid the $800 to have the issue fixed and everything seemed fine. The next day, the issue had come up again, not even 12 hours later! He came back out and charged us again! $300 (which was 1/2 off because we paid cash, again, no consistency with pricing) but there was a warranty that stated "If within the Guarantee Period a drain stoppage or other defect in the repair of plumbing fixtures plumbing parts installed by Top Tier Plumbing Inc. occurs, Top Tier Plumbing Inc. will clear the drain stoppage, or repair or replace (at Top Tier Plumbing Inc.'s option) the plumbing fixture of plumbing part previously installed at no cost to the customer...", if there were any exclusions that would void my warranty, they did not mention that to me and since the issue occurred less than 24 hours of them fixing the initial issue, I'm not sure how long the warranty is even valid for and none of that was made clear to me as the customer. So now, at this point, we've already paid TWICE for the same issue to be fixed and then the issue came back AGAIN on the third day. I contacted Taylor and he said he'd come by again and he never showed up. I had to call him again the next day to remind him and he thanked me for reminding him, which tells me that he forgot that he had to come the day before! At this point, I had someone else come out and fix the issue but asked Taylor if he could still come to discuss the second charge we had since there's a warranty (on the receipt) and it hadn't even been 24 hours but he said there was no warranty and still never came by. Not happy with the service or customer service I received and we lost out on a lot of money. ---------------------------------------------- JULY 27 I would say: You never returned a third time, that's absolutely not true. Please provide written proof that you came back a third time at no charge. I called asking when Taylor would come back and he said "thanks for reminding me" and still never came back! We also have a ring camera and can show there is no one coming back from top tier plumbing a third time. Even though the second time you came out on a holiday, it was still less than 24 hours after the first time and it wasn't told to me or stated in the warranty that if you have to come out on a holiday, the warranty is void and we'd be charged at a discounted rate.... It's still not fixed still leaking everywhere City of Modesto came twice checked with cameras he showed me he told us everything looks good and said i wouldn't spend a dime on this your company wrote us a estimate for $3.000 plus we are seniors please don't break our arm n leg the only thing I'm really upset about not even 12hrs got same problem you guys charged my kids more money $312 some change This is not fair @ all i even talked to few people from city explaining them what's going it shouldn't be a next charge now 3rd time more money...
