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!

First of all, I take responsibility for hiring these guys. Every other plumber was talking about…read moreneeding 4-6 days to repipe our home and CR said they could do it in two. I was more focused on getting water service back not realizing that with a company with Rooter in the name , the focus is on speedy repairs and not quality. I got what I paid for. 90% of what they did was good. The other 10% I paid a real licensed plumber to come in and fix. There was poor communication or no communication from the owner ( who I assume is the licensee ) and his guys who are neither journeyman nor English speakers. I asked for them to run a new water service pipe through my foundation. During the walk through Chavo said no problem, he's got the drill. I'm replacing my stucco and that location makes it easier for the demo. I got home from work and his guy Nazario went through my foundation vent because that was faster making it difficult for me with the rest. of the scope of work. It looks terrible. Just poor workmanship.. It was then that I started to realize that they are focused on fast work , not quality work. There were 4-5 poorly done things and a few that were just stupid. . They did try to make it up by doing a few extras no charge like a hose connection and a vent repair. The main cause of me wanting to repipe was a failing manifold in the shower. What did they not do? Replace the shower manifold . I had to go buy one and have them install it after they put new pipe on the faulty manifold. This was after repeat conversations about this specifically . Just because someone says yes doesn't that mean they understand you. After install, it leaked worse than before and I had to remove a wall to access, and had a real plumber fix it, They broke a tile and the leak they left ruined my baseboard and I had to replace it. Again, this is my fault for hiring them after a recommendation from a friend. Without writing an epic tale, they did a few bone headed things that I had to call their boss and make them redo. They were in a hurry. Nazario , who may or may not still work there was disrespectful to my wife and chauvinistically did not listen to her . I had to come home from work early to make them stop and do what was clearly described in the estimate. He was combative and untruthful. He and the crew demonstrated a lack of ability to problem solve or think critically. There is another review illustrating this here. This company is probably very good at emergency repairs where no thinking is involved and they replace like for like copying what was there. For real plumbing, don't go with this company. I am currently a city building inspector . I could cite the code violations, but it was mostly poor workmanship , deviation from the contracted scope or incomplete work. . They were so bad I accused of them of a few things they were innocent of. As time passed I kept finding more things they screwed up. They told me they removed the old pipe. When I went into the crawl space ,3/4 of it was left behind. Nazario said there was no garbage , but I had to crawl underneath and haul it all out, I found another stash of old pipes in the crawl space today prompting this late review. If you need real plumbing, relocation or a layout change , this company is not for you. If you need an emergency replacement or repair done fast they are probably ok,

Trench free contacted me and I arranged for them to come out to give a quote. They were on time and very prompt and professional, the technician Carlos, who has been in the business over 20 years, arrived and ran the camera in 15 minutes and there was no iron pipe or cracks on his screen, not sure what other company was showing me, but the camera was very clear and showed PVC pipe for whole length of pipe. He was totally forthright and honest and said he doesn't see anything that needed repairing. The house is from 1949 but the sewer lines were replaced on 2 sides of the house in the 1980's to eliminate the septic tank and the final main 80' foot long clay pipe was replaced in 2019 to the street. We are a very satisfied US Air Force Veteran and will recommend them to all we know for future work. Carlos saved us from a very expensive repair. He did comment we have a shallow drop on the long pipe line and may need to send extra water down to flush debris out.

Outstanding Experience with Fast Response Plumbing…read more I contacted seven different companies to get estimates for replacing my sewer line and house trap, and from the very first conversation with Tim, I had a great feeling about Fast Response Plumbing. After speaking with him and researching reviews on Yelp, it became clear that this is one of the top plumbing companies in San Francisco for this type of work. Not only were their prices competitive, but I also saved thousands of dollars compared to some of the other estimates I received. Customer feedback played a major role in my decision. While a few other companies on Yelp appeared to have similar ratings at first glance, a closer inspection revealed many reviews (sometimes hundreds) were filtered or removed and not counted. That raised concerns about the authenticity of their ratings. In contrast, Fast Response Plumbing's reviews appeared genuine and consistent, which gave me even more confidence in choosing them. I'm extremely happy with the results. Every aspect of the project exceeded my expectations: * Competitive and fair pricing * Excellent communication throughout the entire process * Smooth permit handling with no issues * Expert concrete restoration after the excavation work * Outstanding craftsmanship and attention to detail One thing that particularly impressed me was that they installed a 5-inch sewer trap instead of simply replacing the existing 4-inch trap. That thoughtful upgrade will make any future servicing much easier and demonstrates their commitment to doing the job right rather than just meeting the minimum requirements. They also made payment easy by allowing online credit card payments, which was a nice convenience. Honestly, I struggle to think of anything they could have done better. From start to finish, the team was professional, responsive, skilled, and genuinely committed to delivering quality work. They went above and beyond every step of the way. If you're looking for a trustworthy plumbing company in San Francisco for sewer line or house trap replacement, I highly recommend Fast Response Plumbing. Thank you to Tim and the entire team for a job exceptionally well done!

Fast Response Plumbing did an incredible job with my sewer line repair in San Francisco. We decided…read moreto get a lot of bids for this project. Theirs came in at a very reasonable rate, and most importantly, they had capacity to start as soon as possible because we had an urgent sewer line failure. When I called, I believe I came into contact with the owner. I explained to him the scope of the job, and I even told him that he probably doesn't need to send a plumber out because, at this point, we are just comparing costs and I even hinted that we were desperate to get started as soon as possible based on what was told to us by the other plumbers that came out. The owner told me that he'd send a plumber out anyway to do their own scope, since other plumbers may have not been consistent, he could have very easily taken advantage of my desperation in this time, but he didn't David was the only plumber out of the many bids we got who actually called us out and showed us what was on the camera, and explained to us what was happening underneath our house. Within 24 hours, he got the quote back to us. Again, he knew it was an emergency, so the turnaround was great! He came out with a nicely staffed crew. Within a few days, our floor was jackhammered, there was a mound of dirt in our garage, and within the next few days, they connected our sewer line, so we were only without water for a few hours at most. The sewer line installation passed city inspection (SF) the first time. the dirt was quickly backfilled, with concrete poured on top. From a little over a week to the initial consultation, we had a perfectly working sewer line, and we were able to park in our driveway. they were very neat after they completed their job, and they even cleaned out our garage where all the backfill dirt was being stored. I highly recommend them for your sewer repairs, and they will be our new plumber going forward.
