Installed copper pipes for the water softener

James was awesome! I hired him to install our water softener. He did an excellent job! I can't recommend him enough. I contacted him through Yelp, and we communicated through text to schedule our FREE estimate. James drove from Galt to Elk Grove to give me a free quote, unlike the other local two plumbers that charged for an estimate (and both gave me different information about installing a softener). I could tell he was knowledgeable because he gave me specs on my system. Right away, I sensed he was very honest. He and his partner finished in about 2 hours. He even made it easy enough for me to add a whole house filter on my own if i wanted to. The final cost ended up being cheaper than the quote. It's like getting a discount! Trust me, it was VERY reasonable and an affordable price. At the time of this review, James' license had been active for about 1 year. I only note this because he might start getting really busy and his price goes up lol.

5 stars!

We had the pleasure of working with Fabian, and he was fantastic. He showed up on time, worked quickly, and was honest and professional the whole way through. He knew exactly what to do, explained everything clearly, and gave us great advice for the next steps in our repair. It's rare to find someone this knowledgeable and straightforward. We'll definitely be using this company again, and I highly recommend them!

She offered me a solution to make up for the bad experience and said they will be talking to the tech tomorrow as well. Thank goodness for Evelyn's caring enough to not let me go away with such an awful experience. ORIGINAL REVIEW Do not work with this company unless you want to be treated like trash by its employees. I made an appointment for the morning of the 16th. The week before my appointment, I received a call asking to reschedule to the afternoon at 230 due to the weather. This was fine, though I told the person rescheduling that the work had to be done by 430 so I could head to an apt. I was told that was no problem because they would be done by then. Appointment day comes, and I get a text message at 230 saying he was on the way. By 3PM with no one here yet, I call the office and speak to Samantha who put me on hold and then told me he was at my house already. I then went to the window after waiting another 10 minutes, to find this massive van parked ON MY LAWN and him sitting in it playing on his cell phone. Walk up to the van and knock on the window. Nicely tell him he was a little late and that I hoped that we could still have things done in time for me to leave at 430, He told me he wasn't late, that his window was to arrive anytime between 230 - 430. I told him that was not what was agreed on when rescheduling and he repeated his window of 230 - 430. So I then nicely told him he was parked also on my lawn. Without word, he simply started the engine, gunned it out of my driveway and screeched down the street. Within minutes I get a call from Samantha, who seemed to have a pretty nasty attitude now, telling me "I have canceled your appointment because you accused the tech of being late then slammed the door on him". I was not even able to correct her story because she kept talking over me, as though she had some false impression she was putting me in my place. So I asked to speak with the manager (Evelyn) who appeared to be shocked and told me this was not how they worked. She said she would speak to them and that was it. So basically, waited weeks for my appointment, which was rescheduled, then wasted an entire day waiting for some disrespectful chump with no regard for people's property to hang out with his monstrous truck parked on my lawn, only to be followed by a call from a severely mistaken little girl with a nasty attitude. Seriously, take your business elsewhere.

I don't mind paying higher amount but then I do expect quality of work and good customer service . Considering the quality of "service" and the sheer rudeness I experienced, I am certain they are ripping people off. They claimed they tested everything before leaving, but just 20 minutes later, water started leaking from the supply line. The next day, they returned to "fix" the leak with some blue glue. I have attached pictures. I wanted to wait a few hours to ensure the leak was truly resolved this time, but the owner, "Mikey," spoke to me incredibly disrespectfully, saying, "if I am done with my crap he needs the money." Literally this is what was said to me. This experience clearly highlights how money-oriented and completely lacking in customer service these people are. The way they talk to and treat customers is absolutely unacceptable. They have lost my business permanently. My rating with this experience is 1 star. I just gave additional star because on receiving payment they sent me message that they will follow up next week to see if issue is resolved. But talking disrespectfully to your customers is a complete no no for me.

A++ Company! So,…read morefunny story about how we connected with this company. We stopped by my in-laws' house in EG last night. It had been a hot day and we noticed the A/C fan in their house was blowing loudly but it was sweltering inside. Took a peek at their thermostat, which read 77 but felt more like a 87 in our house. Temp was set for 72, but was not cooling. We commented that their A/C didn't seem to be working. Father-in-law said he would call one of the companies that sent an ad in the mail for "$49 A/C Tune-Up." We told him it'd definitely cost more than $49 to fix the issue, and that was just a ploy to get customers to call them and upcharge. I told them we'd contact the company that has helped my parents in the past. So I quickly logged on to Yelp to find the company. They were pretty quick to respond in the past, so I figured they would call the next day and set up an appt. I sent a message to them and was very surprised when I got a message back from them in minutes! Gave them a call and Vince told me he actually had a guy finishing up a project in our area. I was shocked because it was almost 8pm! He said they had two shifts for their company, since people are having A/C issues around the clock. Long story short, Brian showed up around 10-15 minutes after I got off the phone with Vince. I was kinda in disbelief about how fast everything had happened. We definitely didn't think we'd find a company who could make it out to their house while we were still there! Brian diagnosed the problem as the unit lacking refrigerant. Added 2 lbs of R22 and pretty soon we could feel cool air circulating through the house. Throughout the night, Vince kept in constant communication with us and had a fantastic sense of humor. When I told him the A/C was working now, he sent a Carlton dance gif, lol. After Brian left, Vince sent me an invoice. When I saw it, I thought, "Oh interesting, they changed their logo." A few minutes later, I realized I had actually messaged a different company on Yelp than I had intended. The companies' names are practically identical, except the other one had the word "plumbing" in it, lol. I told Vince of the mistake and we kinda laughed about it. He said, "We were meant to be!!!!" :) I was able to pay via Venmo and Vince was able to give my in-laws a senior discount. It was not cheap, but based on how quickly they were able to fix the issue, the convenience was worth it. Highly recommend this company and they will be our go-to in the future for HVAC repairs. Thanks, Vince and Brian!!

I started Googling and called the usual suspects Mr. Rooter and Roto-Rooter.. Both companies were closed and forwarded our calls to their AI agents (which were useless). Drain Time answered and was able to come out immediately! Gabe showed up, battling the rain of the evening, and we explained the situation and he got to work straightaway. Not long after, Mark arrived onsite to help snake our line. They got the line cleared and told us that we'd likely continue having issues (spoiler alert, we did). The pipe from our house to the street was badly deteriorated and needed to be replaced. Pretty sure it was the original from when the house was built 60 or 70 years ago. With scheduling, it took some time to get a new pipe in via pipe burst (trench-less installation. Saved our front yard!). Drain Time was responsive throughout the entire process and came out anytime we needed them to clear our line. Alfredo and Jorge worked on the pipe burst and were great! They were knowledgeable and willing to walk me through the process at any time. Thank you Drain Time!

All around excellent company, definitely my plumbers for life!…read more On Saturday morning we discovered a leak coming from the wall in our master bathroom. Drain Time responded to a Yelp quote quickly and were at our house Sunday morning. There was a slight delay due to another emergency and they even offered to come on Saturday evening but we chose the following morning as the leak was slow. The inspection uncovered multiple major issues and we needed to have all our water and sewer piping replaced for our 3 bathroom house on a larger lot (our house is from the 1940s). Over the course of the project, I met between 10-15 employees and every single one was kind, professional, excellent at communication, and respectful of my time and space. They worked so efficiently and always left our house in as clean a state as possible at the end of the day. The owner Tommy was always there to explain every step of the process, talk through decisions, and keep me informed of the many moving parts. Thanks to him and his team I have a much better understanding of my own plumbing, and plumbing in general, and they managed to bring some lightness and humor! This was a big project and they made it as stress free as possible. I'd highly recommend them to anyone!

Their initial estimate was for a smaller system so I requested that they provide an estimate for a larger system. The staff was great and provided an estimate for the larger system which I appreciated. On the day of setup, they two employees provided information on the system and were timely and quick in set-up. I appreciated how friendly they were and they provided information on the system. During set-up they notified their might be a power issue related to the system but after discussion with the owner, they determined that the system would be adequately powered. Overall it was a great experience and I believe the system the set-up was a great value. Looking to get lower bills in the summer when the heat cranks up! Only issue that I did not notice till later is that they actually had changed out to from a stealth to a trident but they had upped the version. Initially I was surprised by this but since it was a larger system and it was still able to be powered I did not have any issues.
