The name of the men who repaired our plumbing.
Kathryn H.

On Monday morning we woke to the sound of water running under our house. We called Plumbtree and they had someone out within 2 hours. After the problem was identified and we accepted the estimate, we were told two people were needed and could come out next day. This was fine and we agreed. Not long after the first repair person left, someone from Plumbtree called to say they were able to get two workers out that afternoon. Ricky and Ron came shortly after 1 p.m. and did the repair. It was a water hose under the house connecting the main water to a line for the refrigerator. They were friendly and competent and explained everything clearly. By 5 p.m. we had running water again. Best of all, the cost was less than I expected. I'd definitely call Plumbtree if I need plumbing services again!

N. Garcia solved the problem quickly, left the bathroom clean, wore shoe covers and was very clear in his explanation.  5 stars!

N. Garcia solved the problem quickly, left the bathroom clean, wore shoe covers and was very clear in his explanation on the first steps he was going to take. 5 stars for having clear and reasonable pricing even on a Saturday.

Ricky was great. Showed up early, explained what he would do, cleaned up after himself and fixed the issue.

Ask the Community - Plumb tree Plumbing and Rooter

Shower drain clog, can u help? How much is the rate?

Yes, I can send a tech out to clear the line for you. When would you like someone to come out?

Do you guys give free estimates? I want to make sure I know what the cost will be.

There is a $$0.00 service fee to send the tech out to your home. When he arrives he will asses your problem, he will give you options and an estimate. When you approve an estimate, the $40.00 is waived.

The shower drain in our master bedroom bathroom backs up and overflows to the second bathroom's bathtub. Both bathrooms (shower and tub) then have water which then takes a while to drain. What is causing this?

So you likely have both draining into one drain stack that is blocked downstream from where they tie together but before other drains tie into the drain line or other fixtures would also be interacting as well.

Are you guys able to come out on a weekend?

Yes, we are open on Saturdays and Sundays! Hope to hear from you soon.

I own a old home in San Jose rental the tub has a slow drain and water is coming out from the bottom of the tub . Will send pictures what can be done?

It is most likely a failed waste and overflow. This is the drain connection. However it is best to have a close onsite look to ensure accuracy of diagnostic.… 

Hi, My toilet is leaking water at the bottom, can you fix something like that?

Sounds like a bad wax ring as David O. suggested. There are many YouTube videos that will walk you through reinstalling a toilet. Toilets are heavy, so you need some strength. Make sure during the reinstall, you use an oversize wax ring.… 

I need a bid to move a water line only about 6 feet for a washing machine. Plus want to drain to go directly into drain & not drain into the garage sink. I have pictures. House is I. Santa Clara. Can I get an estimate?

Absolutely, we would be happy to help you. Give us a call at 408-599-9158, we can set up an appointment for you to have a tech come out and give you an estimate.

Do you handle replacing old galvanized sewer for bathrooms or under the house? I'm looking for someone who can do this job. It's a San Jose home near landless ..

Absolutely, we would be happy to help you. Give me a call at 408-599-9158, let me set up an appointment for you to have a tech come out and give you an estimate.

Hi, my house in San Jose, I need the water softener system installation, can you quote this service for me? Thank you

Sure our direct line is 408.599.9158 call us in the morning after 9 and we can book an appointment. Thank you!!

Thank you big Mike for all your hard work…read more Mike was such a hard worker,and did a great job. Very professional and explained everything to me. Thank you Mike Kyle with the mint ice cream sandwich

Arrived promptly, fixed the issue, but... two people arrived - the main service tech, and an…read moreapprentice (I think - he didn't talk much but he was polite). The apprentice was fine. The main service tech, we will call him Joe, was incredibly condescending. Joe was talking mainly to my husband and that's probably a good thing. We had a clog in our main line and I know it was cat food because we had a cat sitter and they dumped all the cat food down the drain and we've had this happen before. Joe was talking to my husband and said it was grease, I walked over and said no it's cat food because we don't produce a lot of grease when we eat. And then Joe said, ...do you know what restaurants produce when they cook they produce grease (Can you actually believe he said that I can't believe he said that!) . Guess what Joe? We're not a restaurant. Anyway, I walked away because I was so mad I was steaming - he was so condescending! So yes, they did get everything cleaned out, and my husband was the main point of contact - again that's probably a good thing. And when it was all over my husband said guess what Joe said, your wife was right, it was not grease. No shit Sherlock. I am so pissed. As a woman - being dismissed immediately because I'm a woman. I have a masters degree from Santa Clara University, in differentiated instruction and education. I don't know why I feel obliged to say that, but I'm not an idiot. I know what grease is - I taught science - and I know how we cook our food and I know what food we eat. I even went on to say - well, we wipe our plates with a paper towel first before we put them in the dishwasher and we put the paper towel in the garbage. Why did I feel I needed to explain everything to this guy? Grrr. I am so mad. Yes, they were available 24/7 & on a Sunday and I really appreciate that. But if there is another company out there who has human beings who are more decent, please let me know. So Roto Rooter, when you are conducting sensitivity training, let your service techs know all they have to say is, "thank you for letting me know," and then they can get on with the work. They don't have to engage in an argument with your former customer. And I don't need you to explain to me how it works, I don't need to know how the sausage is made - unless it is relevant. For example, Joe could've said ... We have a high-pressure water system and whether it's cat food, grease or Halloween candy - make it funny make it fun - we will get the job done. But no, Joe had to be a complete and total condescending prick. At the very least he could have said to me before they left I was right, he did not find any grease (I know, I told you), and not just as a passing remark to my husband. I'm so pissed right now- if I can ever not use Roto Rooter again I will.

Started with an emergency overflowed washing machine tub into my garage and a drain that couldn't…read morebe snaked. Replaced my old galvanized pipes with ABS. Freddy and his crew, Juan and Ruben were professional, transparent. They let me observe and explained all the steps.

CUSTOMERS BEWARE -- GET A SECOND OPINION…read more My recommendation is to think twice before using this plumbing company. If you do call them, I strongly suggest getting a second opinion before agreeing to any major repair they recommend. Do not fall for their high pressure scare tactics! I had a blockage in my home and called this company to diagnose and fix the problem. The plumber who came out did what I felt was the bare minimum if any work at all and did not resolve the blockage. Instead, I was told I needed approximately $7,000 in spot repairs to my sewer pipe, with the possibility of up to $30,000 for more extensive replacement/re-piping to the sewer. The way the situation was presented made it sound urgent and as though major excavation and repair work were necessary. Fortunately, before agreeing to anything, I decided to get both a second and third professional opinion. Both told me essentially the same thing: my pipes were fine and did not need to be replaced. It turned out that I simply needed the drain line properly cleaned to clear the blockage for $150. No $7,000 spot repair. No $30,000 re-piping. No tearing up my landscaping. I understand that plumbers can have different professional opinions, but the enormous difference between the original recommendation and what two other professionals found is extremely concerning to me. I felt pressured toward very expensive work that ultimately proved unnecessary. I feel like I dodged a very expensive bullet. Before authorizing thousands of dollars in sewer repairs from this company or for that matter any work. GET A SECOND OPINION.
