    Bath tub drain
    Mary A.

    FAST, EFFICIENT & EFFECTIVE! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! I AM VERY MUCH SATISFIED AND HAPPY WITH THEIR SERVICE ALL THROUGHOUT! From contacting them and getting a quote, they reply so fast and straight to the point. No more sugar coating or anything else. Once I told them to come over and check whats going on, Ken B. (The one I was talking through yelp message) responded right away and instructed his plumber Conrad to come. When Conrad came in, I told him about the problem that the kitchen dirt/stuff was going out in the bath tub sink & it was also clogged. He told me that we need to do some sort of Hydro Jetting to brush off the grease, oil, and all the stuff thats clogged in it. He didnt recommend using snake as it is a big stuff inside the pipe and it wont remove/solve the problem at all. Got a quote and told our landlord about it, he didn't agree of course, so I called Ken B. and told him my situation, we negotiate the price and I got a pretty good deal for the work, and Conrad really put so much effort in it. He fix and check both the kitchen pipe & the bath tub's. Oh did I mention? They also gave a 90days/3 months warranty? WOW! JUST WOW! THANK YOU SO MUCH GUYS! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!

    We highly recommend Affordable Hydro Jetting. We had an obstruction very deep in our drain pipe for…read morewhich other plumbers told us that we needed to open the wall in order to resolve. However, Martin from Affordable Hydro Jetting was able to clear the obstruction from the drain opening, saving us from invasive and costly operations. He was very diligent and thorough throughout the whole process, explaining everything clearly in person and also via his completion report. We could not be more satisfied.

    The short review is this: Martin is a wizard! He sucked a 2 lb. Piece of metal out of my main line…read morewith a shop vac, saving me thousands of dollars in repair costs! The details: I called Martin after a clog removal by another company went sideways (probably the topic of a no star review in the future). The first company identified where the problem was, but also caused a spill of sewage inside the house, then quoted me $5k to dig up the pipe and really fix the problem. To no one's surprise, I wasn't happy. So I called AHJ for a second opinion, and Martin answered the call. He spent a good 20 minutes on the phone, asking me detailed questions about the problem, and explaining my options (the other company did none of that). He made no guarantees, but said he thought he could solve the problem, so I asked him to have a look. He was at my house within 3 hours. The line had two objects stuck inside, causing backups. Martin worked to jet out one of the objects out, then used a camera to inspect the entire 80 ft. length of the pipe. The second object was still there, though, and it looked like digging was the only option. However, this is where the real magic happened! The second object was about 12 ft from the clean out, and it was not budging. Martin, however, thinks outside the box. He got out a large shop vac and stuffed the hose down the line. With the help of his camera he aligned the end of the hose with the obstruction and started up the vacuum. It took a while and was not easy work, but Martin eventually pulled out a 8" long, 2 lb. solid steel spring! That's no exaggeration (How that got in there I'll never know). It was Amazing! He also documented everything with his camera and thoroughly explained everything that we could see. So, I now know all about the good, and the bad, of my main sewer line, should any future problem arise. Thank you, Martin, for the exceptional service!

    Emilio and his service really lived up to the namesake of his company…read more I had a straightforward clogged shower drain. Long story short: The cost was $150. (Which is great, considering that when I hunting around for other plumbing companies, I was getting quoted for less than $350, of which the plumber first had to come for a consultation, then book a separate date to actually do the work). I made an appointment with Emilio and Awesome Rooter & Plumbing a few days in advance. Emilio arrived 10 minutes early. He had shoe covers and was very prepared. I thought I was only going to get a quote, but Emilio brought along his handheld drill-based drain snake. Emilio took a look at my clogged drain for 5 minutes, suggested we use his snake. He did it right on the spot, and it took less than 10 mins, and had my drain running smoothly again. 30 day warranty on his work. I would definitely recommend Emilio and Awesome Rooter & Plumbing for straightforward drain clogs.

Sent a photo of our drain and pipe setup below our kitchen. Emiliano replied within minutes with availability and a range for an estimate. Provided a one hour scheduling window (AWESOME!) and showed up on time this morning. Cleared the clog and took a look at a faucet drip we were having in another room. Made recommendations on dealing with that issue. Was done within 45 minutes! Price was on target to original quote and communication was excellent. Thank you for going above and beyond.

After noticing a subtle sewage smell, we discovered that our plumbing had clogged, causing the cleanout pipe to pop off. Our entire crawlspace had become a literal lake of sewage. It was late afternoon on a weekend, but Alex from Francos Magical Plumbing showed up with a positive attitude--even though it was his day off. He worked deep into the evening to unclog the system and didn't stop there. He crawled into the disaster under the house, assessed the damage, identified further issues, and provided clear, expert solutions to get us through a very tumultuous time. The most incredible part about Alex was his spirit. He told me he truly loves his job, and it shows in his work ethic and transparency. My wife and I are so grateful for his help. We can finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy our home knowing it's safe and handled by a pro. Ask for Alex--you won't regret it!

The issue was no hot water coming out of shower of my tenant's apt. As a property manager that has dealt with this issue in the past, even I knew what the problem was. So Alex came out and said I had to not only replace the cartridge but the valve system as well bc it was rusted. Tenant thought it looked fine. Plumber gave an estimate of 1900.!!! I immediately said NO WAY! I think with the rest of the reviews maybe they took the estimate at face value and not knowing about plumbing issues just paid for it and was happy with the service! My experiences made me question that estimate! I hired another plumber and I told him the exact problem to repair saying I had this issue before on other apts I managed. And they fixed it for $ 385.( which is reasonable but still slightly higher, but I was tired of getting another estimate). So see the BIG difference I save over 1500.!!! So just a caveat, don't go with your first estimate blindly. Second, I ONLY go with FREE estimates, pay by the job and not the hour mostly.

I was first referred to them by a coworker in 2023 to replace a pressure reducing valve. Upon arrival, they noticed our shut-off valve was on its last legs and replaced both with expert quality and a price that didn't make me cry. Earlier this year, we bought a new counter depth fridge, only to realize the water line protruded 4 inches into our small kitchen. It was a total space-killer. Expert Rooter came out and changed it to a recessed line. The kitchen feels roomier! Another amazing job. Yesterday, the water heater sprung a leak. When my husband tried to turn off the water valve, the pipe decided to keep leaking anyway. Guess who came to the rescue? EXPERT ROOTER. They replaced all the water heater, with brand new connectors, water valve, and the gas valve. I will refer them to anyone and already have done so with friends and family, and the consensus is in: they are now everyone's primary plumbing company. I'm crossing my fingers that we won't need to call them for a while, but knowing this house, I'm sure I'll be seeing them again.

I called Excalibur and they said this wasn't true. They could install a similar model of tankless water heater to the one I had. Their quote was almost $2000 less than the other plumber. I since had an HVAC company come out for something else and mentioned I had to change the heater recently. I told him what I paid and he said that was honestly a good price. Excalibur seemed honest and helpful and they were able to come out first thing the next morning and get my heater replaced. They did a good job and the new unit looks better installed than the original. They also gave me advice on how to maintain it and what maintenance I could do myself to descale it etc so it doesn't break again. Overall happy either way the service even though overall it was expensive it was still less than other quotes I got.
