Like many small businesses lately, the county is requiring backflow valves to be installed and…read moretested. After calling down the approved list of vendors we settled on Bay Area Backflow. I assumed it would be a simple task to schedule the inspection, get the tags, and be on our way to no backflowing water in our system. The phone call went well until we started talking about scheduling. - They were not able to commit to a date on the phone. We scheduled a tentative date and time and had to wait for someone else to confirm with me. This makes it difficult to plan water shut down for your business. They need at least 15 minutes with your water off. If your valve does not pass you can add an unknown amount of time on. So naturally, I asked about weekends and the day that we are closed, Fridays. No can do the woman said. They don't work on Fridays or weekends. Splendid. - They require your credit card information up front, a week ahead. Again, this felt like a red flag but since I was running out of time to comply, I went ahead. I assume many businesses have stiffed them on the bills. Shocking.....but I suppose it does happen. - Someone was supposed to confirm our appointment the day before. Nothing. So I got up early to be at the office on good faith. - The two gentlemen that showed up to do the work were fantastic. They were on time, knew their trade, and were polite. Of course one of our brand new valves did not pass their test. So they told me it would be an additional $120 or so to clean out the valve. I had no choice. Either fail the verification or pay the ransom. So we paid. The three stars are for the two guys that showed up at 7:30am to verify my new valves and get it done with literally one minute to business open. The minus two stars are for the poor communication by the main office and the difficult scheduling. Probably won't use them again next year. But we'll see who is on the list.

He quickly diagnosed my issue and explained everything thoroughly. While I was shocked by the price tag to snake the sink/drain line ($520), Juan's promptness, thorough work and explanation and overall professional service made it well worth it. I later validated with a plumber friend that emergency plumbing work is just expensive, so the $520 doesn't sound too outrageous. Overall - highly recommend calling Juan / Clove for any plumbing needs.

I'm pretty unhappy with how Clove handled my situation. Long story short - we had a leak from our…read moreshower, clove rep came to fix it, then after mold remediation was already done we saw that it was still leaking, clove rep came back to fix it again, then I saw that where the leak was repaired again there were complete gaps between the shower wall and wall itself (as pictured) so water would have come spilling into the walls, then they came back to fix again. The part though that really bothers me is that, after all this, they also took my baseboard from the wall. No idea what they did with it. I called asking where it was and they never called me back. I'm now having to spend more money to get a custom baseboard created to match the rest of the room. I don't enjoy not supporting local businesses, but the fact that I'm now having to spend more money because of the baseboard being taken instead of this being compensated for is the reason I'm posting this. Not okay and won't use again.

From scheduling with Angela with ease on the phone and having the option of using an App for communication, to Tim's arrival for the appointment, everything was above my expectation. Tim gave clear explanation of plumbing issues and provided solutions. Never did he try to upsell. He gave me a very reasonable quote which I agreed and started working right away on a Sunday. The following were completed: 1. Navien descaling 2. Replace pre-filter to house 3. Unclog bathroom sink drain Tim is to return to complete the following: 1. Kitchen RO filters replacement after i receive parts I ordered 2. Hot and cold water mixing issue - to be determine what is causing it. I am extremely satisfied with the service provided, how Tim and Angela communicated with me. Tim was organized, respected property, fixed plumbing issues correctly, not quick fixes, and left areas where he worked the way he found it. It is very difficult to find someone who has old school values with skills to fix things around the house nowadays. Most companies wants to only take on big jobs with the greatest profits and forget smaller jobs almost always leads to bigger jobs when they are done correctly. I will definitely hire Tim again for plumbing issues for my home as well as my rental property. Thank you.

Poor Service, Overpriced, and Incomplete Work…read more I had a disappointing experience with this plumber. A few days after he performed a descaling on my Navien tankless water heater, an error code appeared. When I called him, his immediate response was that the recirculation pump had broken down and that it wasn't his fault if mechanical parts fail. I asked him to at least come and inspect the unit before making that determination over the phone, but he said the earliest he could come was four days later and "this is not on him". I did my own research and consulted another plumber. I was able to clear the error code myself simply by cleaning the filters. According to maintenance guidelines, a proper annual service should include both descaling the heat exchanger and cleaning the filters. Descaling alone is not considered complete maintenance, which means the service I received was incomplete. On top of that, the pricing was not transparent. He initially quoted $99, but when he arrived he demanded $175. Overall, I found the workmanship poor, the customer service dismissive, and the pricing unjustified. I cannot recommend this plumber based on my experience.
