Great work! Explained the situation to me and how to solve it. He explained how dangerous Drano is it our metal pipes. Showed us where the rust and corrosion was caused from the Drano usage. Will recommend him to my friends if they need plumbing work done. read more

Ariel went above and beyond to install a new washing machine. He was called by my apartment building's management company after Best Buy reported "leaking plumbing" after they dropped off the washer without installing. There was no plumbing leak what so ever. Best Buy's delivery people saw they would need to move a second washer in order to install the new one. So they quickly left without even responding to me! Ariel received an urgent call from the management company saying there was a plumbing leak. He stopped the job he was currently at to respond to the urgent call. Upon arrival we both confirmed there was no leak at all. Instead of reporting no leak and leaving, Ariel moved the second washer out of the way, unboxed and installed the new washer. He even stayed for a short wash cycle to ensure everything worked properly and no water leakage. Professionalism and customer consideration is his primary focus. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Ariel and his services. Job well done, Ariel. I'm looking forward doing business again. read more

They always provide amazing service of the highest quality!! I call them every time I need something fixed! I'm always very grateful for their service! read more

We've relied on Ariel for all our plumbing needs in South San Francisco--whether it's routine maintenance or full remodels--and he's always come through for us. His rates are reasonable, but what really matters is the quality of his work. Once the walls, tile, or cabinets are in place, you don't want to worry about hidden issues, and with Ariel's work, we never do. Most recently, he handled both the rough-in and finish plumbing for our kitchen remodel, and years before that, he did the plumbing for a bathroom renovation that's still problem-free more than a decade later. He's also been a huge help in steering us toward reliable plumbing fixtures and away from the ones that don't hold up. A couple of times, he's even talked me through repairs I was tackling on my own, making sure I was using the right fittings before the concrete got poured on top. One thing I especially appreciate is that Ariel always double-checks his work. If he clears a drain, he fills the sink to make sure it flows smoothly. If it's a new sink install, he runs water through to confirm there aren't any leaks. That kind of thoroughness gives us real peace of mind. read more

I had a flaky tankless water heater in the attic that needed to be replaced. With houseguests on the way, I was looking for a trustworthy plumber to install a new unit on short notice. The original plumber who installed the unit were booked for weeks but they recommended Ariel's Plumbing to me. That says a lot when one plumber refers business to another.... it would reflect badly if the recommended plumber didn't do a good job. Ariel responded right away, and was thorough and careful with his questions. He gave me a fair bid, and 2 days later the work was done quickly and easily. I have hot water again, and maybe more importantly, I know who to call the next time I have a plumbing issue. Call Ariel. He's your guy. read more

I'm way overdue in posting a review: I've used Ariel's Plumbing for well over a decade now for both my own home and for maintenance with a number of rental properties I manage. What I appreciate the most is that I can trust Ariel & his team 100% to completely resolve issues for my tenants without my supervision, and often without me getting involved at all other than paying the bill. This morning, Ariel's team unclogged a drain for a tenant; I was not on-site for the work, but I got a video of the drains working well after they finished; they locked up when they left; and the tenant just texted me "Thank you, everything is working perfectly." About 18 months ago, a shower valve in a nicely-finished shower enclosure went out, and there was risk we'd have to remove & replace some tile or leave a larger potentially-ugly cover plate; Ariel was able to replace the valve in place without doing any tile damage. And similarly, about 8 months ago, a tenant cracked a sink, and here as well, Ariel was able to a) replace the bowl without doing any drywall damage, and b) to coordinate schedule with the tenant without any of my involvement. Hands down recommend for hassle-free (and fairly & transparently priced) repairs with minimal coordination from me. Thank you. read more

I called them, thru friend's recommendation, to figure out and fix the water leakage. it turns out the pipe that connects kitchen sink is corroded and it's matter of time that it will explode due to old age (1959 house). Some digging, the pipe was replaced and all in about less than a day.....all good. read more

I've hired Ariel for jobs of different sizes: from water pressure fixes to full water heater replacement. He is quick to respond, clear in explaining the work, cost, and time required for each project. Always happy with the results and will continue to go to Ariel and his team for any future needs. read more

Ariel and Butch are awesome - they responded to a late-night request for a service the very next day. They evaluated, created a quote for, and replaced my hot water heater within 24 hours of us noticing it was broken. They are life-savers, so kind, and very professional. I would highly recommend them! read more

Ariel's plumbing service is awesome! Last summer Ariel installed a new dishwasher for me and this summer his son replaced the corroded pipes under my kitchen sink and installed a new garbage disposal. Great work! Prompt service and fair price. It's great to have someone you can trust to do a thorough job. read more

Ariel came through for us! The pilot light in our water heater wouldn't stay lit so we called the plumbers who installed it. Unfortunately it was Saturday morning and they were booked for the weekend and could only come on Monday. They recommended we call Ariel to see if he could come sooner. Since we wanted hot water sooner than later, we called Ariel and he was able to come at the end of the day. Ariel was very nice and professional. He replaced the pilot igniter, which lucky was still under warranty so no additional cost there. He estimated 30-35 minutes but was done in just over 20 minutes. We were extremely happy to get this done same day. read more

We have used Ariel's Plumbing for several repairs over the years and he has done excellent work with what was to be done, Unfortunately our last experience was on a multi room repair in which he came to the property and diagnosed/discussed the repair and told us that he would start it on the following Monday. ZERO follow through and no reply , even after we tried to confirm with him. For a "regular" client you would think that he would have the courtesy and PROFESSIONALISM to call back and say either something came up, or that he simply would have to reject the repair. Very disappointing. We will not choose his services anymore. read more

We've used Ariel's Plumbing a couple times, and couldn't be happier. The first time, both our bathroom sink and tub were draining slowly. Ariel responded promptly, resolved the issue quickly, and charged a very reasonable rate for his time. In addition, he was very warm, friendly, and easy to work with. The second time we needed assistance was because the toilet handle wasn't working properly. Once again, Ariel promptly responded. This time, his son, Butch, fixed the issue. Butch was in and out in literally minutes. We were incredibly relieved, because we worried we'd need to replace the handle itself - but Butch said it wasn't necessary. And like Ariel, he was extremely nice and friendly. We've used other plumbers, but they were exorbitantly expensive and left us quite a mess to clean up. Going forward, we'll always use Ariel's Plumbing! read more

We have been using Ariel's Plumbing for our plumbing issues, water heater replacement, hallway bathroom renovation, clogging issues with old pipes in our house for years, as well as some works at our rental property. I have nothing but BEST to say about Ariel. He is so thorough, detailed and very honest. He doesn't cut corners to just get the works done fast, he would take his time and explain to you what he is doing and why he is doing it. He always responds quickly whenever we had an emergency, and he would take care of the problem for us right away so we could have a peace of mind. We appreciate how he always keeps the working area clean and tidy, so we don't need to worry about anything or clean up after him. We like his professionalism and courteous personality. As of today, everything he fixed, replaced or remodeled for us has had no issues at all. We are very happy with all his work, and would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a high quality plumber or contractor. read more

Great referral for a plumbing issue we had. Ariel was responsive, acknowledged the urgency, and was on time to resolve the problem.

I can't emphasis enough how great Ariel's plumbing is!! He is very kind, cordial and prompt. My apartment's property manager hired Ariel to fix our shower cold/water handles that has been leaking. It was something we didn't care about personally, but could increase the water bill for our landlord. Ariel took a look, went to three different stores to find replacements, then realized it was so old he would need to replace it all and put a modern one handle shower. He came back another time to fix it all, and did such an amazing job. Not only did he replace the handles, he ended up having to move the shower head too! Our shower head was in the worst spot (not a good use of space), so Ariel put the new shower head in the corner so we could use all the space! Additionally since my boyfriend is tall, he raised it a few inches so he has more clearance. Never knew a plumber that was so thoughtful and intentional. A great guy all-around. Highly recommend. My star rating: 5 - I would be a regular customer 4 - would go back again 3 - probably try a different place 2 - not very satisfied 1 - turnaround and run read more

Got Ariel phone number from a good friend of mine that used his service. I called him in the morning and he came really fast with his wonderful son Butch. He diagnosed the problem and took care of it quickly. I highly highly recommend them!! read more

Ariel is the best, we were very impressed on how he's shown his professionalism! We needed an urgent plumber on a Sunday, called multiple plumbers but no one was available. Lucky for me, when I contacted Ariel, he was quick to reply to let me know that he is available to come in the afternoon. He made sure to keep me in the loop of his arrival throughout the day. Since he's very knowledgeable and has many years of experiences, he was able to just look at the issue for couple of minutes and bam, we were quoted and the quote he gave us was very reasonable. I'm sure there was no way I was going to get the same price for an urgent fix on a Sunday from other plumbers. He only took 30 min to fix a deformed pipe, put in two water shut off valves, add in the faucet supply tube, then ran the water throughout the house and made sure there was no leak coming from what he fixed under the sink and around the faucet before he left. I highly recommend Ariel's plumbing! I for sure will be using him for our future plumbing issues. read more

My building's management called Ariel's Plumbing for a broken shower and they quickly diagnosed the issue and installed a new shower head in less than 1h. Shower now works perfectly! The team was on time (5mins early in fact) and they had great manners. I'd happily ask for this company again for a future plumbing fix. read more

Ariel has been my go-to plumber for 2 years now. When I first bought my house there were some things that needed attention and he was able to fix them that day. (New garage sink basin, water heater and washing mashing hookups) He showed me exactly what was wrong and explained what I needed. I never felt he was trying to up-sell me on things I didn't need. He is very responsive and comes as soon as he can when you call. I have referred him to anyone that asks if I know a plumber. And they all loved his work and do not feel taken advantage of. I will definitely continue to call Ariel for any of my plumbing needs. read more

Ariel is the best! We recently moved to a new unit with a number of plumbing issues and we're so glad Ariel was sent out to help. He is very professional, knowledgeable, and took on unexpected challenges (the unit is quite old so some issues took more time than expected) with great enthusiasm and a smile. I even learned a bit about plumbing along the way because he was always ready to thoroughly explain and answer any questions we had. Highly recommend working with Ariel for your plumbing needs. Thanks again for all your help Ariel! read more

Ariel for the win! I called Ariel late Sunday afternoon with a sink emergency and with two kids an interruption in water from your kitchen sink is just not possible. He got back to me within minutes. I assumed he wouldn't be able to make it out until the week day, but he opted to come later that afternoon. He sorted our sink issues. Turns out we were majorly backed up. He snaked the drain and make sure our drains worked better than ever. While he was there, I asked to replace our sink garbage disposal and he did so without flinching. Ariel has come to our place for various issues over the past couple years. Or maybe a better way to describe it -- he as come to our rescue. Every time he is here, he is super nice, respectful, conversational... he feels more like family that some of my REAL family. I'll definitely call Ariel again and I'd recommend him to anyone. read more

Ariel was absolutely spectacular! Super friendly, professional, and helpful in every way. In less than a day after consulting him on our water heater leak, he helped us understand the issues super fast, and was able to replace the heater in less than an hour. In addition, he gave us countless number valuable tips on keeping our house safe from water damage, and protect our family from gas leaks, and saving money on all our utilities over time. He even managed to repair our bathroom faucets which have had water pressure problems for years for free! He treated us like his family and made us that much smarter about our plumbing. Would totally recommend in a heartbeat! =D read more

Very nice folks! Super fast, customers first attitude, very happy with their service, I recommend them 100%

Ariel has just finished a plumbing project for me. Due to delivery delays and other unexpected things, he had to come back multiple times for estimates and also the project itself. He has been very patient and professional throughout the process. It is obvious Ariel takes great pride in his work. He is very pleasant to talk to and he explains all the major steps to me. His quote is also very detailed and precise. He is a pleasure to work with. read more

Wonderful service from Ariel, I would definitively ask for his services again if we need anything related to plumbing at the house!

No complaints. I like supporting a small family business. I appreciate honesty where someone gives you a fair estimate and doesn't beg for your business by undercutting another company. Ariel is proud of the work he does and enjoys good customer relationships. When my hot water heater began to show leakage, I sought out five plumbing companies. I now feel comfortable that I have found a plumber after mistaking seeking handymen, that I can now call when a problem arises. Value is important but trust is more so. I also want to note that Ariel was highly recommended by Excelsior water heater installation when I stated that I had an additional home problem that needed to be resolved. read more

Ariel is the absolute best. He has changed all of the sinks in our condo and has done an excellent job with each. He responds quickly and takes the time to show you exactly what the problem may have been and how he is going to fix it. If you are looking for a personable, responsive, and efficient plumber, Ariel is your guy! read more

Our water heater failed and was leaking water all over the garage. Ariel was incredibly responsive and helpful in explaining what could be wrong, came the next morning and determined we needed a new water heater. He shut off the water and gas, but couldn't get a new heater until the next day. He picked it up, installed it in about 90 minutes, and got all the water flowing properly. He even took a video with voice over of the new installation, how it was secured, etc.! Great to work with, reasonable, trustworthy and responsive. I highly recommend Ariel! read more

Ariel was hired by my management company to replace our water heater after it failed, and he did so efficiently. Afterwards we realized my hot water pressure had been reduced to almost nothing because my unit had old galvanized pipes throughout. Not only did Ariel quickly put together a quote to do a full replacement with copper, he lobbied the manager to agree to the expense. Ariel was incredibly communicative and respectful throughout the week the job took and I couldn't be happier with the results. I can't recommend Ariel strongly enough - he's a pro and you won't be disappointed. read more

This review is overdue but needed to say that Ariel has been the best! He is always quick to respond even if you leave a message. He will give you his honest and fair opinion on the repair work. He has helped us with multiple situations in multiple homes and I will always recommend him to any family or friend! read more

This company was highly recommended to me. We had an emergency situation at my house where a pipe broke in the garage from the kitchen sink upstairs. Ariel came the same day, gave us a wonderful and affordable quote for all the work that needs to be done. Did the work the next day. Fast, quality work. We had 2 other bids before him and the price difference is thousands. Ariel is very honest and reliable. I highly recommend this company 1000% we already have other things lined up for them to do. They are not just a plumbing company they are reliable contractor that does everything else except carpets and appliance repairs. I'm very grateful that they were recommended to me, now I'm sharing this experience with everyone... you will not regret their service. read more

Thank you Ariel! I've had such a hard time finding a good plumber who is trustworthy and responsive. Ariel called me back right away. He is very honest, friendly, professional and reasonable. I appreciated his respect for my property including taking off his shoes, cleaning up and explaining to me every step of the way and showing me what he was doing. I had another plumber come to work on my toilet two months ago and it started moving again and he would not call me back:( Ariel gave me a fair price and a 10 year warranty! read more

Ariel's plumping is incredible!! We're so lucky they live down the street from us. We called at 6:30pm and they came over by 7:30pm, fixed our toilets and were done in just a few minutes! VERY very friendly, respectful and informative! Highly recommend read more

I cannot say enough good things about Ariel. We've had him over for repairs a few times and every experience has been so great. We had a major blockage in our sewer pipe and had another group of plumbers come take a look at it. They essentially made a huge mess, didn't ask permission to cut open pipes and didn't even fix the problem, just made it worse. We got Ariel to come over the next day. He was professional and showed up on time and explained thoroughly what the problem could be. He went into details on what he was going to try and was transparent about pricing. His quality of work is absolutely top notch and he takes pride in it. He laid out protective sheeting and cleaned up the whole area after he was done. You couldn't even tell someone cut open a sewer pipe in that spot after he was done with it. He explained how to maintain the pipes and detect issues early. The next time we had a minor gas leak and he fixed that too with the same professionalism and attention to detail as we've come to expect from him. As new home owners, he really put us at ease and we appreciate all the information he gives us. Overall, he's dependable fair and such a warm great guy. We trust him completely for any work that he does for our home. read more
