2 weeks back on Friday evening we had water pipe leaking and the water was just flooding into the walkway and the road. I called many folks and nobody turned up that evening. Joseph picked up the call and came to help. He was very helpful and worked till late night to have a temporary fix. After that we scheduled a full permanent fix. He gave a good quote and worked very hard and put a new water line for us. He was very courteous and honest. We also took his service in clearing our blocked wash basin sinks. He did a fantastic job. I would recommend him to every friend of mine who can use his help. read more

Joseph did a great job. I'm in my 50's and I catch myself saying old man things like "people don't take pride in their work" or "I could have done a better job myself". Joseph knew more than me and what he didn't know he would find out, which is much better than making up something to please the customer. I will use Joseph again...unless I miraculously never have a plumbing problem again. read more

I initially gave a 1 star review because I didn't get a response for a while after messaging via Yelp. Joseph called to explain that he had delegated the task to an employee who then went out on another job, so my request fell through the cracks. I'm not a paying customer because I elected to go with another business, but I wanted to be fair to the biz, so I am editing this review to say that, based on communication from the company, I give them excellent ratings, and I'm pretty confident that those good communication skills would translate into good service as well. :-) read more

I called Joseph and he came right away to fix our clogged sink. He was friendly and professional. He also fixed the valve behind our refrigerator. He is careful and thorough about his work. I will definitely call him again for any future plumbing issues. read more

Great service. We had drains backing up in a rental house. Joseph was able to take care of the problem the same day we called. This is the second plumbing emergency he has successfully helped us with. read more

Fast friendly service, great price and an honorable guy! I am definitely keeping his number and calling him again if I ever have any other plumbing issues and I would highly recommend him if you have the same! read more

Joseph gave us a great service and was very prompt to respond. He explained everything clearly and was very knowledgeable about draining the toilets. He was able get the job done efficiently. I would definitely hire him again. read more

Joseph is great! He is courteous, explains the problem, and most reasonably priced among all the plumbers my fiancee called. My shower would not turn off this morning after I showered and I called M S Plumber to come take a look and that guy wanted to charge me 600 and make a hole in the wall to replace a Moen Catridge! (which if you watch the YouTube video, is not hard to replace and definitely do not require a hole in the wall) Anyway, in the evening my lovely fiancee found Spec Home Drain Services on Yelp and made an appointment with Joseph at 7.45pm. He then arrived on time, looked at the problem, took out the cartridge to make sure and explain how it is broken, went to the home depot by himself to pick up the replacement, came back, gave me the receipt and replaced the cartridge and voila, problem solved! The whole ordeal took about 2 hours and during the whole time he was very polite and friendly. His service also includes a 1 year warranty, Now i can sleep soundly at night. Will definitely call him for any future plumbing. The world needs more people like Joseph. read more

Joseph has done several jobs for me and he is always thorough, prompt, and fair with prices. He's been able to identify problems and fixed them, when others couldn't figure it out. He also guarantees all of his work. Yesterday, Joseph couldn't come out for an issue I had but he send out his technician Jay. Jay was great! I sent him pics of the problem and he arrived prepared with the proper supplies. He quickly fixed the issue and even spent some time educating me on a few things to avoid problems in the future. Thanks Joseph and Jay for always doing a great job! read more

I called Joseph because in 2017 he took care of a continuous leaking garage sink and I was impressed with his response and thoroughness of work. Last week I asked him to fix a dripping shower head which had a cartridge just replaced 2 years ago by another plumber. He was thorough in going beyond the cartridge and inspecting the whole shower control enclosure. He recommended a newer replacement setup that was a little more expensive but would be in better shape for the next 8-10 years. His service work charge is fair and reasonable. It is never easy to find a trustworthy person to take care of your home, but Joseph's business will remain as our number one call to for plumbing services. read more

It is no doubt I'll have them both Joseph and his partner to help me others job I might need in the future ,thanks for their great jobs on Thanksgiving day. read more

Joseph answered my call Sunday afternoon and came to our place right after he finished his task. He fixed our clogged kitchen sink and cleaned our main drain. Very professional and the price is very reasonable. Will definitely recommend to my friends if they need help. read more

Needed my Sewer Cleanout Pipe lowered and slow drain kitchen sink snaked. Joseph answered my inquiries within minutes of trying to contact him. Arrived the very same day after giving me a quote on the project. Very professional in his work in going above and beyond what was needed to be taken care of. Exeptional value to services he rendered. I can't recommend him enough to friends and coleagues!!! read more

We had an emergency plumbing issue and looked up Joseph at Yelp! He came to our house although it was late evening. He was professional and very resourceful. He solved the problem but never push anything more. We appreciate your great job! read more

Joseph arrived right on time for our scheduled appt to look at a clogged sink in my home and also install a new garbage disposal. He was professional and courteous from start to finish. His work was super fast- Joseph had the sink unclogged and back to normal in a couple of minutes and the garbage disposal was installed at a swift pace. He left no mess, the two jobs were done correctly the first time, and best of all his rates are some of the best. I've had so many bad experiences with plumbers it was refreshing to meet someone as honest as Joseph. He will be my go to plumber moving forward. read more

Joseph is awesome. He came same-day to fix a clogged sink and replace a garbage disposal that was on its last legs. Apparently we had been working - without our knowing it - on an epic clog. Fortunately, Joseph had all the right tools for the job. He was clean, courteous (he was nice to my kid, and that counts a lot for me), priced fair, and didn't bat an eye when the clock clicked later into the evening. Our family will definitely call him again when the inevitable plumbing problem pops up (or when we need to replace our water heater - tick tock...). read more

This company went the extra mile to provide a solid estimate and explanation to me what was exactly wrong. Upon hiring them to do the work, it was all done to standard and fast. I recommend them 100% read more

I used Joseph's service many times. He resolved water leak issues at the kitchen sink and one of the toilets. He came over and replaced the 3/8 inch pipe to resolve the kitchen leak and changed the toilet flush valve system to resolve the toilet flush leak. I am quiet happy with him since he helps me out all the time with a very reasonable cost. read more

We had a clogged kitchen sink. I called Joseph late evening and he immediately answered my call and showed up right away. The problem was more complicated than I had expected. He spent close to 4 hours thoroughly fixing the problem and even identified and fixed few other stuff that was not related to kitchen sink. He is very friendly and nice guy and knows plumbing in and out. I now know who to go to for any plumbing needs. read more

Great service at a reasonable price. Joseph was very responsive and a great communicator, constantly talking things through with me to explain the nature of the problem and the choices I had before me in terms of different options for fixing. read more

Joseph is a great contractor and he helped me with my property on 2 occasions. He arrived on time and honest with the diagnose of the situation. One of those time was an emergency, he answers the phone right away and promise to come after the job on hand. He arrived an hour later and clear out the clog in the main drain. He does not take advantage of the plumbing emergency situation, clog main with back flow into kitchen sink, and gave a very competitive price. I've deal with many contractors, Joseph is as good as they come. I am very happy with his service and will recommend him to my friends without hesitation. read more

This is what you call 5 star service. On point great quality work. Will definitely use these guys again in the near future.

We've had a problem finding the source of a leak that's been an ongoing situation for awhile now. We've called in many different company's, but received no satisfactory results until we were fortunate enough to find Joseph. He did an amazing job not only finding the source of the problem (which required a lot of crawling around under the house) but also re-doing piping in the crawl space to insure we won't have similar issues in the future. In the past other plumbers had taken short-cuts, and I was impressed by Joseph's professionalism and thoroughness in making sure the situation was finally resolved. A big thumbs-up to Joseph - he responded quickly, stayed late (up to 11pm one night) and was communicative throughout the entire process, to insure we would have running water as soon as possible. I definitely give him a strong recommendation! read more

I had a problem with my sump pump. I first called my go-to plumber who seems to have lost his magic. My calls were returned with delays each time and I could not get an estimate of the replacement cost. I then called Joseph at Spec Home and all that changed. Calls were exchanged promptly and the 15 yo pump was replaced at a reasonable cost within 2 days. I've got him working on another plumbing project for my 1930s vintage home. I am very pleased that I've found a reasonable priced, hard working plumber, who is talented and very responsive. read more

Joseph gave us excellent, timely and accurate service. After a power outage, we discovered that the water heater pilot wouldn't ignite the main burner. After Internetting a bit, we guessed thermocouple, and called out a plumber from another company. After a casual inspection lasting only 1 minute, he told us it would require a new pilot assembly - $350. I somehow didn't believe him. I called a few more plumbers and ended up talking to Joseph. He was available and immediately guessed thermocouple. He purchased the part in anticipation of his being correct, and arrived an hour later. That was indeed the problem. He charged a fair price and the heater was back in operation soon after. Thank you Joseph! read more

Joseph came over shortly after a call I made on Thanksgiving day to fix our clogged main drain. He showed up on time and got us going and gave us a 1 year warranty in case it happened again. Five stars. Thank you. read more

I called Joseph for a rooting job. He responded immediately and gave me a very reasonable quote. I appreciate his professionalism and demeanor whilst getting the job done for me. I also got a clean out installed with him. Everything's good so far. I think he did a terrific job! Joseph takes his time to do the job, but he is very patient, knowledgeable and answered all my questions well. Also, he took a lot of trouble in working late night hours to get the job done. I really appreciate that! My only negative comment about Joseph is that he failed to clean up completely after the job was done; and I had to do that myself. To this end, I understand he works with multiple clients in parallel and gets busy with other work. I wish there was a 4.5 star rating; I would have given that! Do give Joseph a call whenever you face any plumbing issues. read more

Solid results. Joseph works hard, is dedicated, and knows what he's doing. Shows up on time, communicates clearly, gets the job done fast & right. He recently installed a new cleanout on our house's main drain/sewer line. That's about 5 feet deep. Everything is flowing nicely now. I'd hire him again for future plumbing work. read more

Joseph was great. Came to my house on a Saturday morning on short notice to fix a clogged drain. He got the job done quickly and without any problems. He was very nice and professional. I would use them again. read more

I would have given more than 5 stars if that was possible ! If you need a plumber, look no further. Joseph helped us in a timely manner with our kitchen drain on Christmas Day. He is extremely professional, diligent and honest. He first did his due diligence to check if there were any obvious easy fixes but when that didn't work he then used a snake. Joseph patiently worked through obstacles caused by the location of our drain, with a smile on his face. He did not rush through the process and ensured that he optimized the set up to cause no mess in our home or surrounding. Our kitchen drain works great and he has also provided a 1year warranty. Also, he noticed that our garden hose could use fixing and actually offered to come by the next day to fix it free of charge ! read more

Very thoughtful and professional. I was satisfied with the fix and will be sure to hold onto his contact information for the future.

Great service! You can tell it's a honest business by talking to Joseph. Garbage disposal was changed in less than 20 mins. I would definitely recommend this business to others read more

Very nice guy. He was prompt and did great work for a good price. He replaced our kitchen faucet and the valves under the sink. He did a really good job and cleaned up after himself. read more

Joseph was speedy, reasonaby priced, effective, competent, etc. If only everybody could be as good as Joeseph.

Joseph replaced a sump pump in our crawl space. Initial call was clear and helpful. Showed up on time, worked diligently, and took pride in a job done right. Was accommodating to additional requests for other minor work. Paid attention to details including not tracking any dirt from the crawl space into the house. Very fair and pleasant person, would certainly recommend his work. read more

Knowledgeable guy. Had a drain problem. Needed to snake my main drain. Didn't have a drain out. Joe came out and helped me out. Did the snaking on my roof. Easy to talk to. Independent Plummer. read more

We recently moved into a new home in a new area and thanks to Yelp reviews we found Joseph. He was very helpful for bringing the icemaker line for our fridge. He worked quickly and he said he will come for a follow-up visit when the fridge arrives. All in all we had a pleasing experience with Joseph. Would recommend him for any plumbing related issues. read more

Great Service!! Joseph is amazing, very reliable and honest plumber. We had water dripping from ceiling, I called Joseph just by looking over Yelp & he responded quickly. He came immediately and found out pinhole in copper pipe inside wall. He also explained what went wrong and gave couple of options of fixing it with pricing & procedure. His service fees was reasonable too. We came next day with all the material required & fixed it permanently. He is very knowledgeable, knows this work very well. We also had water leaking from bathroom faucets & he fixed them perfectly. He is going to be our plumbing person anytime in future & i would recommend all my friends without any doubt. read more

This was the best plumbing service experience I've ever had. No one like to have the volcanic kitchen sink from hell but you know it happens and at the worst possible times. Had guests coming for a party and disposal wasn't working we tried everything we could think of but got no where quick. I got Joseph's number from a friend. Called and explained my situation and that I had around 50 people slated to show in a few hours. He was very kind and said he could be there within the hour. When he arrived he explained the problem lies beyond the disposal and it invoked cleaning out the clean out (where do they get these names?) So there were going to be guests arriving while the work was being done but fortunately Joseph had a professional appearance was polite and as I invasive as could be and compete the job. He left no mess behind completed the work in a timely fashion and his rates were less than half of an emergency call to three other plumbers I called that day. I highly recommend his services to anyone needing a plumber in Santa Cruz , San Jose, or surrounding areas. read more

This is my second glowing review for Joseph. We had another issue with our sump pump last Saturday night. It stopped working and we had 3-4 inches of water in our basement, no idea what caused it. I phoned Joseph, he answered while driving and said he would be there to fix it in the morning (Sunday 7-16-2017). I explained I wouldn't even be in town. He came anyway, fixed the pump, and now I'm making arrangements to pay him, as he lives only a few minutes away.. You can count on this man, bottom line. That is rare these days. read more
