A leak was discovered in the shared wall of my townhouse with mold and water damage. The neighbor's have a bathroom on their side of the wall and my side is a storage closet under my stairs with no water pipes. I asked the neighbor to get a plumber to clearly identify the source of the leak being in their pipes so that his insurance company would take responsibility for the damage, and to fix the leak of course. I also offered access to my unit as his side had tiled walls and a shower with difficult access and my side was drywall where a window had already been cut to confirm mold and water damage. We setup an appointment and I stayed home during the time but the plumber did not come by to find the source of the leak nor did he verify he fixed it. Instead he just replaced a "valve" from my neighbor's side without confirming that was the source of the leak. That is putting the cart before the horse! His report to the neighbor's insurance company still left them questioning the source of the leak and further delayed cleanup work. Next I asked for the plumber to come back and verify the leak was fixed. (I was not going to reenter my moldy storage closet as I'm allergic to mold and my skin has been reacting with itchy hives.) The plumber came back and stated there was no mold damage in spite of a strong mold smell, a contractor stating he couldn't work on it until mold was remediated, and two mold remediation companies giving estimates to repair the mold and water damage. He also stated he didn't see any further leaks but still refused to indicate the leaks were coming from my neighbor's pipes to the insurance company. I don't recommend working with this company. read more

This review is long overdue for the great service Midas Plumbing extends to their customers. I've been working with John for over 10 years and he's on-time, very skilled at fixing all our plumbing issues, and aesthetically everything looks good when he's finished the job; garbage disposal, broken toilet bolt, plugged toilet, leaking bathroom drain pipe, leaking shower and bath faucets, frozen bathroom sink shutoff valves, leaking landscaping system, washing machine drain plugged just to name a few. I would not hesitate to recommend John and Midas Plumbing for any of your plumbing needs. read more

John came recommended to me from a friend when my garbage disposal crapped out. He was able to get a part and come and fix it that evening. I could tell that he has a very strong work ethic. Unlike some other businesses, John does not price gouge you and charges a fair amount. When I added a tip for his hard work, he told me I overpaid. Highly recommend him. read more

6 year old flushing toys down the toliet led to toliet not flushing all the way. Called John he came the very next day to check it out couldnt unclog it. Recommended replacing the toliet since its 15year old not water efficient toliet. We decided to replace it. He picked up Kohler toliet from Homedepot and was able to replace it quickly. He cleaned up the bathroom, and took the old toliet. Wife is happy recommend John! read more

I've called John multiple times for varying plumbing jobs from a clogged sink to a clogged sewage main. I recommend him to anyone who needs plumbing work done! Very reasonable prices, friendly and good service, and explains what I can do to prevent future plumbing issues. read more

My water heater ran it's course and was leaking badly. John answered my evening call and told me how to shut off the connected water valve to save me the house call fee. He arrived the next morning to replaced the water heater. He was conscientious, efficient and professional. Would definitely hire John again. read more

If I can put zero on the review, I'll do it. John came over and didn't even look at the spot I asked for. I don't understand what he did. I think he doesn't know what to do. Also, I called for asking to redo or fixing that I already told him, he rejected it. He is very unprofessional. read more

Once again, John saved the day for me. Late last night as I was washing dishes, I had a major water leak coming from the bottom of my old garbage disposal. I left a voice message for John and he called me back first thing in the morning. Since he's closed on Sunday's, John made an exception to come to my condo to replace my garbage disposal. Such great service. I highly recommend John. He's professional, friendly, service is excellent, and his service prices are fair. John has also came to replace my bathroom sink and tub fixtures in the past which he did an excellent job. The above picture is the new garbage disposal he replaced. I'm one happy customer. He's my go to Plumber. ‍ read more

Midas Plumbing - New Garbage Disposal - Plumbing Near Me

I've been using Midas Plumber for over 10 years. John (the owner) is an amazing plumber that gets the job done honestly and with amazing quality. read more

I contacted my house is an old kitchen sink clogged, while certainly taught me to be nice to fix how to manage in the future. (10/15/2019) It is also recommended to other people. read more

John is very helpful and knowledgeable. He came out onsite and was early. He called to say he could be there sooner than he originally thought. I'm so used to service people being late that this was a wonderful surprise. He was friendly and obviously very knowledgeable. When he got the problem fixed - the main drain line at my house was clogged so the wash basin in the garage wasn't draining properly - I asked if he could look at one more thing and he got that resolved too (the air gap on my dishwasher had gotten clogged). I can't say enough good things about John. Finding a good plumber is hard enough. But finding an honest plumber is next to impossible, but John is that guy - the honest plumber. I hope we don't have any more plumbing issues, but if we do, I already know who I'll call. read more

A family member suggested Midas Plumbing YEARS ago and I've been using him ever since. Typically able to come out very quickly and has always been able to fix everything for a reasonable price. John is friendly, honest and always includes tips and suggestions. Since COVID started and with the whole family home 24/7, our household plumbing has really taken a beating! Midas has snaked our sewer line, fixed a toilet, replaced a sink pipe and installed a new water heater--all within the last year. read more

After looking for a Plumber on Nextdoor and verifying on Yelp, I contacted John. He was polite and did respond to my initial emails. He called me back to verify the pictures I sent on the faucets to be replaced. He did a great job even though he ran into a minor issue where a tile was blocking him the access. He managed to get the faucets installed. He also came back the next day to fix the ring on one of our bedroom toilet where the ring was gone bad and had to be replaced. At the same we replaced the toilet plungers. Overall he did an excellent job. Based on my previous experience on plumbing costs I have paid to other plumbers, John was competitive but was on higher side. He did give me a discount. Thanks John. read more

This is the 3rd time we've asked John to help with our drain issue over 15 years. It's an old house and does not have a clean out port to easily unclog the drain from the ground. I have called a few plumbing companies that are either refuse to climb up to the roof (single story) to use the hydrojet to flush out the drain or quote outrageous price to do so. John was reluctant to go to the roof too because he is getting old BUT he called me back to check if I have found someone to fix my problem. It was getting late and already dark and John still went out of his way to come to our house, climbed on the roof and did the work with a super FAIR price. Upon completion of the job, John took time to explain the situation and gave advice what not to use/flush down the toilet to the occupant (it's a rental). I guarantee you that John from Midas is the most honest and caring plumber you can find in this area. I hope he stays in business or train an apprentice to help/take over his business with the same mindset! His service is A+++ read more

I've dealt with about 5 plumbers in the Bay Area, and John is the best, hands down. He arrives on time, is courteous, and willing to analyze problems to the detail and explain what's going on and what the right fix would be. I called him a few lines to deal with sewer blockage, and also install a cleanout in our front yard. The last time I called him, I didn't even ask for a quote; I just got him to do the job, then paid him whatever he charged. John's a true pro, and the only plumber I want to deal with. read more

Is there a such thing as a plumber that is honest, reasonably priced, shows on time?? Yes there is!!! John came to fix our terribly clogged shower. Explained to us what went wrong and what not to do in the future. The next time I called him to fix some pipes, he was honest to tell me what he currently doesn't have the necessary tools to fix them. Then he gave me advice how to shop for plumbers so I don't end up spending $$$. Midas Plumbing will now be our one and only plumber for now on!! read more

John was recommended by a friend for an emergency hot water heater tank leak. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue over the phone, and gave me a reasonable quote after sending him some pictures. Thankfully he was available the same day and arrived at the time he specified. He patiently explained what he was going to do and was also conscious about the surroundings, and asked me to move certain things in the garage that could be in the way/at risk. He cleaned the water leak around the old tank and hauled it off, and left no mess after his work. He came highly-recommended and I would hire him again for any future issues; he was thoughtful, sincere, honest, kind and reliable. Thank you again, John! read more

It's so hard to find honest professionals and I'm very glad to find John from Midas Plumbing. John saved us from being without a sink for a few days. We originally had another plumber come fix our kitchen sink but after many hours of going at it, nothing seemed to fix the sink. The original plumber says he needed to wait a few days to come back for another attempt. This is when John saved me from my frustration. Found John from all the positive reviews from Yelp. So glad I gave him a call. He was very knowledgeable and explained all the plumbing logic to me that was easy to understand. Long story short - John came and fixed our sink problem in ample time. Charged less then I would expect for job that someone else had a difficult time fixing. Explained all the work done and suggested ways to keep the sink running healthy. He is my go-to plumber from now! read more

I cannot really say anything that has not already been said. We have called upon him twice now for a clogged waste pipe - icky business. He has come over same day and even earlier than was expected so he could help us out. Removed toilet because we have no easy access clear out. He cleared the waste pipe of tree roots and debris, replaced toilet, caulked the base, and cleaned up. All in under an hour. Rate is very reasonable. He is quick, polite, cleans up after his work, and best of all, honest. I can talk with him about whether it would cost effective to do further work with the pipes or not. Greatly appreciate his services. We'll probably be calling for a third time again, once that darn tree blocks our pipes again. :) But at least we know we can count on John! read more

About as pleasant of an experience for which one can hope. Had a stopped drain in a single bathroom sink. Had tried all the "home remedies," to no avail. Jumped onto Yelp and looked for a reputable plumbing service, and I was not disappointed. Called John, who answered promptly on his cell, traded information. He said we would be working another job but gave me an estimated time of 1pm. Showed up at like 11am (that's right, two hours early) to see if he could take a look. After inspecting the situation, John gave me two possible scenarios and their respective prices before continuing. I appreciated the upfront nature of the possible costs. It took him a whopping 10 minutes with a hand crank snake-e-doo-dad (not the technical term, I'm told), and this 40 your old sink is running smoooooth. Wrote him a check, he provided a professional-looking invoice, and that was that. Thanks, John, for being prompt, professional, and most of all, effective. And thanks to Yelpers for giving props where they are due and getting business to those most deserving. read more

I after years of searching, my plumber search is over. John is the only guy I'll call anymore! read more

So I started my search for plumbers by getting estimates from plumbers in my area with high yelp ratings. I chose Midas because of the direct phone estimate and the ease of scheduling. Also, he took my call at 6pm rather than forwarding me to answering services. John arrived at my house and he was very profession. He examined my faulty shower valves, gave me a verbal estimate, and even worked with me on the price. The job was done efficiently and with minimal intrusion. Furthermore, when he was done, the work sight was clean and there was no sign that he was there. I definitely found a good plumber and I can't say enough good things about him. read more

After my garbage disposal broke, I picked up a replacement at a certain home improvement store (one might even call it a depot ;-). The installation of the new unit was going beautifully until I tried to reinstall the j trap and discovered that the joint coming out of the wall had completely corroded and wouldn't reinstall without copious leaks. I heaved, pulled, and swore like a sailor trying to remove the pipe from the wall, but was defeated by the gods of ancient plumbing. Fast forward a bit and I scheduled an appointment with John. He was polite, professional, and worked quickly to saw off the old pipe, install a new one, and reconnect the j trap. He then went the extra mile to make sure that it was working without leaks. I would definitely use his services again! read more

John came out (even earlier than my appointment time) to unclog a shower drain. He had to go onto the roof to clear out the vent because the "snake" down the drain just wasn't working and he couldn't find any blockage down there. He was able to do this job in about 30 minutes. This is John's company/business and he seems to know how to diagnose well and is pretty confident with the methods he uses. He's quick efficient, professional and friendly! I highly recommend Midas. I believe in helping the local small businesses over the large corporations! Thank you! read more

I had John come out today.....5-star all the way. My two kids loved watching him take things apart and then put them together. The best part...it all worked perfectly when he left. Awesome. I also asked him about my water heater and he gave me honest advice which was really appreciated. I have used others in the past but he is my go to guy now. Thanks! read more

WOW, I can finally drop off the kids.. again. 5 STARS!! Excellent customer service. After destroying the shinazz outta our toilet from a drunken weekend night, we tried everything to fix our toilet -- we bought the snake-thang, plunged the sh*t out of our toilet and nothing worked. We yelped a few places, and found Midas Plumbing. We called them in the morning and was able to schedule an afternoon appointment. Eric came to the rescue and was able to remove all the waste in less than an hour. He was very professional and knew his sh*t. Definitely will recommend this place, and hopefully won't have to call them again (lesson-learned, ha!) read more

John called after leaving a message with his message service. He called relatively shortly after I left the message. I explained how the dishwasher overflow kept coming through into the sink. He priced the project at a fixed price and said he could come over with about an hour. He arrived in the time frame he set and showed up professionally and friendly. Went right into the kitchen, figured out the problem, and fixed it. Along the way he explained a number of details about how the dishwasher and garbage disposal work as well as what we can do to avoid the problem in the future. Basically, the miscellaneous small food particles that make it through the dishwasher filters were getting caught in the disposal pipe and clogging it up. Excess water was coming out the air vent and onto the counter. We will now run the disposal after the dishwasher runs and help keep it clean and clear. John wrote up a professional receipt and pointed out the 30 day warranty for this type of job. He'll come back and clear the pipes again if the problem recurs within 30 days. My sense is we'll be fine. Thanks to Midas and we'll happily call again, considering Midas "our" plumber. read more

John did a great job! Snaked my kitchen line, and did a great job! He was friendly, fast and reliable! Gave me a 30 day warranty just in case I had another backup! Quality work! read more

Eric was quick to arrive on Friday afternoon to assess our situation. We had a leak coming from our wash room area and it was coming from the cement slab floor. He recommend we find a leak detection specialist, informed us of what to expect from the other company, then went as far as to help us find someone to come to our house that same day. Eric is very professional, young (don't let that fool you), he has solid/strong business knowledge of the trade and is very thorough. He communicates wonderfully, works quickly and cleanly. He went in the area where the leak detection company said the problem was (Company name is Bullseye leak detection) and they were 100% accurate. Eric broke the cement slab nicely, quickly seen the problem, fixed the leak beautifully and made sure that he finished the job on Saturday so my family could return home with running water! The owner called us back each evening to make sure we were pleased with the work and I can't rave enough of how professional and courteous both companies were to our family during this emergency. I would highly recommend both Midas and Bullseye Leak detection companies to friends and family. Thank you Eric!!! read more

John was very helpful both on the phone and in person and gives you plenty of options for ways to save money. When it comes time to do some work, John is great at a) calling ahead, b) showing up on time and c) doing very professional work. He installed a gas line for us, and now I'm going to have him modify some water lines. read more

Another plumbing issue resolved! John came by to install a new garbage disposal after the one we had crapped out on us. It was quick, painless and reasonably priced. After the installation, he gave me a few pointers on how to address common garbage disposal problems in case we encounter any of those in the future. Need a reliable, local plumber? Give John's business a try! read more

Thank goodness for Yelp! I would've never found out about Midas! I'm new to the area & needed a plumber nearby, post haste! John Hong had a very quick response time! He got straight to the root of my plumbing issue promptly after arriving. John was very courteous and helped answered any questions that I had. I didn't get the feeling that some plumbing companies give out when they try to swindle you for all the money they can squeeze out of you! His work was honest, clean, and explained the problem easily to me! I'm a busy mom and don't need any BS to deal with. Thank you Midas & John Hong!!! read more

I had an emergency situation where the handyman that I had scheduled 2 weeks in advance to install 2 bathroom sink faucets was unable to do the job at the last minute, and I had family from out of town coming to visit in 2 days. I called John and asked if he could come to do the installation the next morning. He was able to schedule me in. When he came out, he was very friendly, professional, and efficient. He charged a very reasonable rate for a licensed plumber (the previous company I hired at $90/hour I found out later were not even licensed plumbers). He did a great job and he was obviously very experienced and knowledgeable, so I felt very comfortable having him do the installation. I regreted not having called him sooner. I highly recommend his services, and will definately use him for any plumbing needs in the future. read more

John was amazing. First scheduled appt at 2-3 pm on Sat. He called at 11ish to see if he could come at 1pm. He came on time and provided me with a detailed, honest opinion. I thought he could of totally tried to upsold me on unnecessary repairs but he did not. I think he is honest, friendly and clean. I am glad I used Yelp. Thank you fellow yelpers for your reviews....He was in and out in about 1hr. I will definitely recommend and I will definitely use Midas whenever I have plumb help.... read more

We live in a Eichler and a couple times each year the plumbing backs up. John always comes out and is on time and does a great job! This last time I called because our kitchen sink was backed up and my hubby was convinced the pipe had collapsed as it was not draining where it typically does in the overflow. Well... come to find out we had a clog on the line for our kitchen sink and washer and they had been draining to a overflow drain. It had been clogged the entire time we lived here! John cleared the clog in no time and even waited a few extra mins until my hubby arrived to explain everything to him! John is a pro and we don't use anyone else when we have a plumbing problem!! read more

I was installing a water softener and needed a hard water copper line run to the backyard outlet and to the cold water kitchen sink. Midas gave me a reasonable quote so I told them to go ahead and do it. It took about 5 to 6 hours and the job was done. I had to clean up after them and remind the guy to do a pressure check since I wasn't sure if he was going to do it or not, but glad I had him checked since we found a small leak in the line he fixed. Otherwise pretty happy with the job and would hire these guys again read more

Although John was not able to resolved the issue we had but we are happy with what he did. John suggested us seeking second opinion from other plumbing services since method and expertise can vary. John provided me his business card and asked us to call him back if issue still not resolved. read more

Great service, reasonable price. Punctual, fast, professional. I have a very good experience. In just one hour, my draining system is never cleaner! I'd definitely refer Midas Plumbing to all my friends! read more

John is as professional and honest as they come. I've used his plumbing services a couple times now. He is always prompt, courteous, and gets the job done quickly and quietly. His rate is fair - not the cheapest, but definitely not the most expensive. And there is no negotiating or haggling, because there's no need to. He doesn't play games. For example, he gave me a quote on a shower cartridge replacement to fix a leaky shower. After some investigation, it turned out he only needed to replace the seat and washer. And so the final bill was cheaper than his estimate. Most unscrupulous contractors out there (with lots of reviews on yelp) would just have charged me the estimate I agreed to. But not someone with integrity like John. And rarely do you find someone that's this good and is readily available. Every time I've called him (weekday or weekend), he offered to be over within half an hour. read more
