I had my main sewer line backed up. I sent out a Yelp request and Ferdinand called me within a few minutes. I discovered he was "closed" after the fact, but my matter was urgent enough I guess for him to respond. I asked for a quote over the phone and found it reasonable. He came to my residence at agreed time. Cleared out my drain within minutes and made sure it was clear before he left. Would highly recommend him compared to the bigger plumbing companies. read more

Ferdie's bid came in about half of what the other two bids were. when I had a window of opportunity open for him to do the work he and his crew were there within two days. his crew was friendly, respectful, and extremely conscientious about cleaning up. The work was done quickly, passed inspection, and cleaned up in about a week. For half the price! Amazing. felt like a guardian angel sent him to me read more

Ferdie is the best! I have contacted a few plumbers for a project to add a clean out to our pipe, and Ferdie responded the fastest and offered the most reasonable price.

Slick Rooter & Plumbing - New lateral sewer line - Water Heater Installation/Repair Near Me - San Francisco, California

We use Ferdi - Slick Rooter for all our plumbing needs. He does very good work and is reasonably priced. He is a very nice person and is very considerate. I wouldn't look anywhere else or hesitate to contact him when I have an issue. When we first purchased our house and the first rain came our whole downstairs flooded. Ferdi came right out and helped us figure out what we needed to do to prevent this from happening again. He even gave my husband a cement saw to cut out the cement so we could do some of the work and save a little money. We ended up having to cut a deep hole and a smaller trench from the back of the house to the front and put in new sump pump and pvc pipe to the street to drain. Big job, but Ferdi made it a pretty easy fix. That is just one of the jobs he has done for us. We are truly grateful. read more

Ferdie was super quick to replace my old water heater during the holiday season, which solves our problem of not enough hot water for the shower! Def recommend him for those who want to install new water heaters. read more

We needed a new water heater as soon as possible and tried to get a hold of a plumber on Yelp. Ferdie and I had text exchange, made an appt. He arrived just as we discussed, provided a very reasonable price quote. We even added another plumbing issue and he took care of it no problem! Ferdie is very responsive with follow up and follow through. Professional, reliable, detailed and very pleasant to work with! I will most definitely give Slick Plumbing a call for any future plumbing needs! Thank you! read more

We had a toilet that needed replacing and we hired Slick Rooter Plumbing to do the job. Ferdie, the owner, came and did an amazing job. Ferdie is fair, friendly and fast. He quoted us a a fair price, great value for money. Other companies quoted more than double his price. He was friendly - always smiling and with such a positive demeanor, great vibes all around. As to fast, he gave us a 2 hour window and arrived right on time and quickly got to work. He was quick without being rushed. What I liked was also how detailed he was in doing the little things like making sure the surrounding was clean. I could tell that he took pride in the job he did which is rare nowadays. We HIGHLY recommend him for your plumbing needs. We have found our new go-to plumber in Ferdie. read more

Our garbage disposal died RIP. Reached out to Ferdie, who was very responsive, quoted me a reasonable rate, and overall seemed like a good match for the job. I like giving my dollars to small business owners. He gave me a 3 hour window of service and came out on time and was able to replace and install a new garbage disposal fast and efficiently. Just in case an hiccups pop up, he has a 90 day guarantee for labor and was able to provide me with a registration card for Warranty of disposal unit. Also, got gave me the tool to do my own unclogging in the future. Thanks Fredie! read more

Ferdie has cleared a sewer backup, installed a new hot water heater, installed a pilot light module and water jetted our sewer lines for root and grease clean up. Ferdie is very responsive and professional. I would definitely recommend Slick Rooter. read more

Great guy. Diagnosed the problem and knew how to fix it. Got the job done promptly at a fair price.

Ferdie was fast and very reliable. We had our sewer line replaced and he made it very seamless. He provided updates throughout the whole process and finished the job within a few days. Not only that, his quote for this job was very reasonably and far less than the other companies I previously reached out to. I highly recommend him and will be reaching out to him should we have any other plumbing issues down the line. read more

Ferdie is a really nice guy who gets the job done without complaining how long it takes. I rarely put a review on Yelp but Ferdie deserves my 5 stars read more

I texted Slick Rooter & Plumbing in the morning, asking if there was any same-day availability (both the kitchen and the bathroom sink were clogged). Ferdie (thankfully) replied promptly and arrived early in the afternoon. He was friendly, efficient, and successful. No more clogs! Thanks again, Ferdie! :) read more

Fast response, good price and done a great job. I have my faucet and water pressure reducing valve replaced. I got a estimate from Wizard plumbing and drain, they was way over priced. I got an estimate was more than triple of Slick Rooter and Plumbing. Slick Rooter and plumbing fixed my problems in the same day, I called around 11:00am they fixed my problems by 2:00pm and at a reasonable price. Great job, thank you! read more

See all

Ferdie was so wonderful to work with! We reached out months ago to replace our toilet and although we didn't do it, I realized then that this was my new plumber! We have referred friends to him that also loved him. We finally got around to fixing our toilet and he was the best, he was on time, fast, explained things (now we know how to turn off our main water), and so helpful. We will be using him again (our sewer line is next on the list...). I cannot recommend him enough! read more

Very helpfully gave me advice over yelp on how to fix my own garbage disposal, would recommend!

If you're looking for a very reliable plumber, Ferdie is your man. Very professional, responsible, and diligent. I am very happy that his service was recommended to me. read more

Great and honest advice. I had a water drainage and Ferdi diagnosed the problem quickly.

We needed a faucet replaced. Ferdinand was prompt, friendly and professional. A few days later when we tried to install a water purifier and had difficulty, he came during his lunchtime. And although it turned out he didn't have the appropriate part (a proprietary part), he tried to help us with the purifier free of charge. read more

Ferdie was incredibly responsive, came and helped with our kitchen leak the same day. On top of that he was so incredibly nice and knowledgeable. He will definitely our next call for any plumbing issues :) read more

The guy is a one man show. So he gives the best deal. Ferdie is the owner. He responded to our most recent requested service in no time. Finished the job in less than 2 hours. The other company quoted more than 3 times the price I paid him. Well done! If you want to waste your money somewhere else, it's up to you. But if you want a quick service and an honest deal, get in touch with Ferdie. Than you man! read more

Best plumber and rooter service ever !! If ever a rooter and plumber could provide a smooth, honest, reliable, dependable, and reasonable repair work, Ferdie did !! I was comfortable and knew from the moment that I met him on job site, that I called the right person for the job. He was extremely knowledgeable on all aspects of plumbing and took as much time as needed to make sure that the main sewer line was clear and ran camera twice just to make sure. He explained what future repair work needs to be done to prevent future problems. I am so happy with his work and he will be my first call always on any plumbing repair in the future!! read more

Very responsive, fast, and affordable. I had been putting things off under my kitchen sink. I had a new garbage disposal I needed installed. I also had a small leak. Ferdie showed me why and where my leaks was and showed me some other pipes that we're about to fail. He was true to his low quote and very helpful. He will now be my go to plumber!!! read more

This is a true story and it happened to us. We (my husband and I) decided to install new toilet just because the old one, though working, was not at 1.28 and was not bolted well to the floor. At "Nextdoor" a plumber, though not licensed, advertised himself and offered a reasonable price. Toilet was installed, tested and the plumber got paid. In three days toilet flushing stopped working. My first step was calling the installer. A response was with the new price list for inspections, problem detection, etc. No accountability, or curiousity, or responsibility sounded in his response. We started our own research. Learned everything about toilets, their brands, designs, costs, repairs, reviews. Then we spent time inviting plumbing companies for estimates, because we started suspecting drain issues. At this time we met Ferdie. We inspected the drain in and out. Ferdie gave the appointment time and arrived right on time! When we suggested that we have to inspect one more drain line - he agreed without any hesitation. He took our problem personally. He uninstalled the toilet and installed again and still water, though pouring to the bowl, was not flushing. Then Ferdie detached the tank, and, believe it or not, found a pack of plastic wrapping plugged into the neck of the base. The original installer didn't bother to remove this packaging material. Needless to say how grateful we are to Ferdie! He was as curious and as happy with the finding as we were. Now I am calling Ferdie "our plumber" and would recommend him always! read more

Our water heater was not working, called first thing in the morning Ferdinand show up on time and in less than 1h it was perfectly working again. read more

We needed a leaking copper pipe and water pressure regulator replaced Ferdie came out even earlier than the appointment time and provided me with an estimate later that day. His prices are very reasonable for what we needed done. Made our appointment for today to do the job. He and Oscar knocked it out in no time. Very nice to deal with and definitely would use him again. read more

Slick Rooter & Plumbing and specifically the owner - Ferdie - are phenomenal! They do great work and have very reasonable pricing. I had a sewer line backup, and at no cost, Ferdie came out and did a camera inspection and showed me the roots coming through the clay pipe and the fact that in sections, it was completely broken. He put together a low-cost estimate (I had two other estimates and one was literally DOUBLE the cost he had given to me!) and was able to start the job the next day. He installed a trenchless pipe and also connected my drain pipe to go under the driveway and directly into the sewer line -- a San Francisco requirement with any sewer work. It was inspected by city inspectors and he patched up the concrete. The work just took a few days and looks great - the line is now working perfectly. I will use Slick Rooter & Plumbing for all my plumbing needs going forward and highly recommend his services. read more
