Adam and Van were very professional and explained exactly what needed to be done to fix our toilet clog. I've used them twice.

I have a new refrigerator that did not have a factory installed icemaker. I bought the optional icemaker from the refrigerator vendor and had ABE install. Van and Abe came to install and did a very good job in 3 hours, more work than I anticipated. They told me right off what they estimated the cost would be and asked me if I would like to not have it done and send the refrigerator back and buy one with a factory installed icemaker. I gave them the go ahead since the refrigerator I purchased was the only one available from all the appliance vendors that met my requirements. Abe did most of the installing and was supervised by Van. Cleaned everything up, gave me a senior discount and a reasonable final price. Very pleased, would recommend. read more

always does excellent work and outstanding honesty. I paid for the service as billed. it turned out some of the parts were discontinued. rather then keeping the money,the owner came to my house and returned to me $100. They could have kept it and I would never know. read more

Been using ABE for the past few years because they were considered our 'family plumber', so we thought there was a mutual trust and understanding to provide fair service. Contacted them last week for a bigger project (sewage cleanout access installation) and they quoted me different prices, and kept changing their conditions for the job. First price included just installing the cleanout access. Then they said that was hard to access via the crawl space, and it's easier to dig a hole outside the house (which is true), but they almost doubled the cost. Communication with the Van (owner) has also always been unclear and he even yelled at me once for asking for clarifications on when he'll show up. This wasn't a big deal as I understand plumbing is a tough job and work situations can be stressful at times. I got fed up and contacted a different plumber who quoted me half the price and was honest about the work being done. They even explained the whole process and said whatever ABE told me was BS. Turned out it wasn't that difficult to begin with. So I went with them and the job is done. I wasn't gonna make a big deal about this but the dealbreaker was when Van showed up at my house (without prior notifications) asking to proceed with the job, and when I told him it's been taken care off, he gave me a rude hand gesture and stormed off. No explanation. No clarification. It's like he knew he wasn't being honest and I found out eventually. Wouldn't recommend this plumber at all and glad I found a better plumber for the future. read more

We used A.B.E. Plumbing last year for a clogged sewer drain. They came out and did a quick and efficient job for very reasonable price. I just hired them again for another plumbing project. Again, great service and great price. Would highly recommend. read more

Very prompt service. Excellent job by Hugo in diagnosing & fixing two problems (kitchen drain & washing machine backing up). Very nice work. We will definitely use them again. read more

I was just referred to them by a friend for an emergency drain repair. Great service, great quality, great communication, and great people. I will never call anyone else for plumbing help. read more

Earlier today, I realized I needed plumbing support for my house. I called Van at 8 o'clock and he said he would have someone at my house by 9 o'clock. At 8:40 AM, Hugo showed up. We talked briefly about what I needed, and he got to work. it's now 9:25AM and he's on the road to his next job and I'm a happy customer! Hugo was great! I would highly recommend this A.B.E. Plumbing. Professional, and quick and affordable! read more

Staff is great. Knowledgeable of what they do. Mr. Nguyen is an awesome guy! Actually, I've been utilizing ABE services for years.

Mr Van Lee did a great job repairing leaks in my two bathrooms. He is very prompt and does high quality of work. Previously, he had Installed a water softener at my home too. I highly recommend using his services. read more

The only plumber I depend on and trust. Van and his staff do a great job and always offer great advice about what really needs to get done. They respond quickly, too. read more

Had a malfunctioning water heater *installed by ABE Plumbing* a few years ago. Called in for help and Van (owner I believe) suggested I look for another plumber for help. I was puzzled at first and called another company. They came and told me the water heater was unserviceable due to a bad installation location. I called Van back and was told straight up he couldn't & wouldn't help me before hanging up the phone on me. Terrible customer experience. read more

ABE did a great job helping me replace a leaking kitchen faucet hose. They are very responsive and delivery high quality work.

We have used A.B.E. Plumbing for many years, usually 2-3 times per year because we have funky pipes that clog. The dispatch service is very professional and Van Tran is always on time, courteous and respectful. I have recommended A.B. E. Plumbing to friends and they have been very satisfied. I think the prices are reasonable, and often less than other plumbers. read more

1 star because answering service did not work. Yikes! Recommended to Van by a friend. That said, once reached, Van was great on the phone. We coordinated an emergency visit. Tim was a wonder working on my problem --- connect from meter to house cracked and leaking. It all went great and for a price that beat earlier estimates. I will call them again . read more

Van Tran is great , very nice guy and he's very knowledgeable. He did a really great job Unclogging the bathroom and installing a new toilet bowl. I highly recommend him. read more

Our shower started to clog at 8PM on a Friday night. Of course it would, right? This is one of the few plumbers who will answer the call at this time, and the dispatch had Van call back right away. It was an issue with the whole house backing up, and we were willing to wait until the morning and he came first thing and unclogged the sewer. He also has technology that can send a camera through to see the source of a problem, which can be very useful if a clog reoccurs. Altogether, a very good experience with a nice guy and his crew, and prompt service. Thank you Van! read more

He is incredibly rude. He doesn't tell you his prices until he is finished. We paid over $700 to install a water heater. Our dish washer broke when he had just fixed it. He told us to buy a new one after he just fixed it! read more

We had an emergency sewer back up and flooding situation on Super Bowl Sunday. Van showed up within hours, communicated his eta well the whole time until he showed up. He couldn't fix it right away since we were unable to find the drain. Sent his guys over the next day. Meantime, we had found the drain. His guys fixed within an hour. Would certainly recommend, very professional. read more

A.B.E. is the plumber to consider. I had a problem with my kitchen faucet and Tim came over to check and replace the problematic braided hose where the leak was coming from. Tim was so professional and did the job in no time. In the same token, the owner, Van Tran was so good in following up how the work went. That's the "after Sales service" that should be extended to every customer. More power A.B.E! read more

I give my highest praise to Van Tran and his plumbing staff. They are efficient, punctual, clean and competent. They replaced my old malfunctioning shower fixture in one day and even recaulked my whole shower. And they replaced my kitchen sink and faucet and redid the flooring under my kitchen cabinet that was completely deteriorated. I was very impressed by their work ethic and professionalism! I will definitely use them again for any plumbing repair. read more

I found ABE Plumbing through recommendation on Nextdoor and these guys are truly amazing. We were struggling with our sewer line blockage for more than a month. Van and Tim did incredible job installing sewer clean out and cleaning the sewer line at my house. First they removed the blockage through roof, then installed clean out, used camera to show the tree roots in sewer line. They used the snake multiple times to remove as many roots as possible. They have all the high-tech equipments to do their job. Very professional, knowledgable, REASONABLE and punctual. 4 people spent 8 hrs finishing the job with perfection. I highly recommend ABE plumbing (Van & Tim) for any of your plumbing works. read more

I had an obnoxiously rude experience with these folks. I called up on the number listed on Yelp and I spoke to a pleasant lady who took down my details and said one of their technicians would get back to me. Promptly, I get a call back from a person called Chu Van who said it'd coat me $95 to repair one clogged toilet. He said he can be at my place in 15 minutes. After I hung up, I realized that I hadn't confirmed if $95 includes everything, so I called him back and asked the same. Also, I enquired if $95 is a fixed price to which Mr. Van took great offense and he hung up on me. I tried calling him back and he wouldn't pick up the call. Assuming there has been some misunderstanding and to give the benefit of the doubt to Mr.Van, my wife called back on the number listed on Yelp. She explained what transpired with Mr.Van and was told to expect a call back. Within a minute, Mr.Van calls back on my wife's number and very rudely replies to her saying that he has an appointment available for tomorrow morning at 9am but he wouldn't be helping her. She was taken aback by what he said. So, Mr.Van called us back just to convey that he won't help us. This is just pure spitefulness and we definitely don't deserve this sort of discourteous and nasty behavior. I have no idea of the kind of service they offer but if their social skills are anything to go by, I would never approach them. read more

The company is a scam. After doing research company is out of a house in Milpitas. I asked for a quote to change a was seal and install a bidet in my house. The quote was 200 dollars. When the plumber had the toilet off he called me in and said the flange needed to be changed. He went out and talked to the owner and came back and said it will be between 300 - 400 because this could take time to get off. He had the flange off in 20 minutes and said the boss was coming to help. He was going to get a flange. Next thing I know 4 guys out house 3 guys in bathroom to install a flange. A total of 3 hours including 40 ;minutes for parts and the owner gave me a bill for 800 dollars. Never said why he just said not by the hour but by the job. I would never deal with this company again. I also reported them to the BBB. read more

Van came in the rain, spent some time diagnosing my clogged drain problem, and fixed it. He arrived quickly, was very professional and friendly, and his fee was reasonable. I'll be calling A.B.E. plumbing serer and drain in the future when the need arrises. read more

My kitchen and laundry room drains plugged up late on Thanksgiving Day. My hubby called Van early the next day, and he was at my house working the problem within 30 minutes. The problem turned out to be a long-building clog in the sewer line under our house. It did take some time to remove the clog, but he did it and at a very reasonable cost. We've also used Van in the past for less urgent problems, and he's always solved the problem in a reasonable time at a more than reasonable cost. Van is now our go-to guy for plumbing issues. Good man. read more

Very quick response to fix drainage problem in my kitchen sink. Tim was very professional and provided great service. Thank you very much. Highly recommended read more

In life, I can think of four important requirements--a good doctor, a reliable dentist, an honest car mechanic, and a dependable plumber. Van Tran fulfills that last need perfectly. I have lived in Milpitas for 20 years. During that time, I have had several plumbing issues from an impromptu waterfall out of the ceiling into our kitchen, to a bathroom shower pan leak, to a dying water heater. Mr. Tran is quick to respond and gets the job done at a fair price for high quality work. He has also provided advice from experience that has saved us from inefficient choices. I cannot recommend his services as a plumber any more highly. read more

We have had both the owner Van Tran and his excellent technician Tim Knollmiller work on plumbing issues in our home. Someone always arrives within hours, which is so appreciated. All problems have been quickly diagnosed and expertly and efficiently repaired. I highly recommend A.B.E. Sewer Drain and Plumbing Repair! read more

Saw some good review about Van. Called at dinner for tomorrow Service. Left message with answering service. Van called me around 9m Said he can see me at 1-2 pm the next day. Told him I only needed to change the leaky shut off valve and supply line to the toilet tank. Possibly 1/2 hour at the most but understand may be an one hour minimum charge. Van said he does not charge by time but by the job. He wanted $170 which is normally a $80-100 job. Van had attitude and told me to look for someone else. read more

Absolutely horrendous . The despath guy yelled at me on the phone.... literally yelled at me because i asked why how much he will take since he demanded x amount without even coming to the see the problem. Never will recommend him . read more

I used this company a few weeks ago to install a 2nd clean out,as the city of Sunnyvale will no longer go on my property to clean out roots that clog the water for draining out,they did a great job‼ fast,clean &ion time. The longest part was getting the city to inspect the work &approve. I have used van several times for other plumbing jobs he did excellent at as well. Tim&van both work together very well. If you need a great plumber there it. Phoebe read more

What excellent service! My sink backed up and they fixed it in no time! Arrived early, super friendly and the price was very reasonable. Never going to call another plumbing service again. Thank you A.B.E.! read more

Had A.B.E Plumbing out (this time Tim) to fix yet another plumbing problem at my house. Tim was prompt, courteous, and professional, but most of all he did a fantastic job. After leaving a message, Van himself called me back quickly. With the toilet backing up considerably, it was greatly appreciated. This is my go-to plumbing guys, and won't hesitate to call them for my next issue. read more

My husband found them through recommendations from Nextdoor.com. He called them at about 2pm and Tim showed up within an hour as promised .... on a Sunday. Cleared out our kitchen sink drain within 30 mins. He was prompt, courteous and professional. And they warranty their work for 30 days. read more

My sister used A.B.E. 7 years ago to repipe her whole house. She also had her washer moved from the utility room into the garage where pipes were run and a utility sink was installed. The price on this was so reasonable that I had my washer and dryer moved out also and set up my tiny laundry room into a pantry with a second fridge which was much better. Now I'm needing new toilets installed and will be calling them soon. read more

Wish there was less then one star -Van(is the owner I think ) calls promptly but is extremely rude . does he realize he is talking to customers ? all I asked was the cost for the job and he yelled at us over the phone !! please avoid read more

We needed to replace our washer and dryer in Los Altos after 20 years, and the valves to the washer were locked in the open position. ABE to the rescue! Responsive, professional, reasonable and personable. Most important - reliable! We also had them replace a pair of faucets on a later visit. Again, top-notch work. Definitely two thumbs up for these guys! read more
