I think I'm due for a champion plumbing review. After years of using Champion plumbing at multiple properties, I have only great things to say about the professional service they provide. All their employees are very knowledgeable, honest, and get the job done! I would highly recommend for any & all your plumbing needs. Thank you Paul, Tressy, Tim, and the rest of the staff! read more

The plumber didn't show up! I had just spoken to him the night before to schedule the appointment for the next morning, and he didn't show up. I'm going to schedule with another plumber who's more reliable. read more

I had a plumber to my house recently that changed filters on my reverse osmosis. When I called the office before the plumber came I asked what was their labor rate. They said $190 per hour. I had the filters on hand. The plumber just provided the labor and was on time at exactly 9am when he rang the door bell. He finished the job at 10:10am which should of been the end of his labor charge. He presented his invoice to me at 10:15am for $285 for 1 1/2 hours. I thought I was being courteous by saying I should pay for 1 1/4 hours of labor or $237.50. The plumber said the charge was for 1 1/2 hours. I paid the 1 1/2 hours and after the payment sent an email to the company requesting a $47.50 refund. I haven't heard a word from them about a refund. This is dishonest. Why should a consumer have to pay for more time on the job than time spent? Is there some kind of obligation to the company to pay for work not performed? I fully expect a $47..50 refund to be mailed to me or they can Zelle it. Otherwise, I would advise against doing business with such a company negardless of the proficiency of their plumbers. Bottom Line: Dishonest business practices cancels out any good work performed. Consumers beware! 10/9/25 4:40pm UPDATE: I have just received an online transfer from Champion Plumbing for the $47.50 overcharge to which I greatly appreciate. Like I said, the service performed was exemplary. And now that I paid for the time the job was performed, I am happy to provide a 5 star review. Thank you Champion Plumbiing for fixing this and restoring your trustworthy reputation. read more

Called for unclogging the bathtub sink and bathroom faucet sink in our condo unit. Two engineers arrived at 8:13pm, snaked the sinks, left at 9:16pm, and we were billed $570 (1.5 hours). Well, they were here for 1 hour and 3min. We know accurate time from the call logs and the smart doorlock logs. No problem to pay for their hours, but this seems expensive for extra 3 min. So do your shopping! I will ask our HOA to find a different company. read more

0 stars if possible. Especially for Ashley! We've been contracting with this company for multiple Sj businesses over the years and all of those years we've always had flooding issues? Staff are unprofessional and horribly rude when not on the clock, and still representing the business. Highly recommend avoiding these people, those 5 star reviews seem pretty suspicious to me as well.. read more

I am a vendor at San Pedro Square Market and I just want the gentleman who came to help us change out our faucet and plumbing pipes with his assistant that he was the best ever! I called to schedule with their front desk lady who wasn't that much of a help but the professional still showed up and got the job done! We had this work done about a month ago and I want management to see this review and make sure they know they have the best customer service and technical skill in the plumber that they have read more

I called for a clogged toilet, and they sent a technician. The technician snaked the bathroom sink (because it was also draining slowly) and checked the main line, and then told me that the toilet needed to be replaced because it was too old. However, he refused to replace the toilet because he said that he did not have time today. However, it was only 3:30PM! Since they charge by the hour, even though he only spent 30 minutes he still charged us the full hour. The tech left with the toilet still clogged. They asked me to schedule another appointment to replace the toilet, so that they can charge me again for another trip! Needless to say, I will never use this company again. read more

Champion Plumbing has been our go-to plumber for several years now for our home and also for our multi-unit rental property. Both are 100+ year-old buildings that have a lot more plumbing needs than we'd choose to have. We have worked with most of Champion's plumbers by now on quite a variety of jobs, including several major ones (underground gas line replacement, main water line replacement, two complex full repipe jobs) as well as more modest projects (hot water heater replacements, replacing hose bibs). If your job is a large one that's going to take several days with more than one plumber, I would suggest asking that their owner Tim take a look and help scope the work and assign the right members of their crew so it can be done efficiently. All plumbers are expensive, but Champion is more reasonable than many, they're professional, and do high quality work. We recommend them highly! (Note: this is an unsolicited review that accurately reflects our experience). read more

Our Water Heater stopped working Sunday afternoon, so I called the folks at Champion Plumbing; Tim talked me through options, and though they had a slot that evening, I opted to wait for a Monday morning. Steve came to my house first thing (he even came a few minutes early!) to inspect and diagnose my Water Heater. He determined the problem immediately, and recommended a replacement, along with a few alternatives. The option I chose was on-hand, so about an hour later, Jack and Robert arrived with the new Water Heater; they were very professional and knowledgeable. They did a really great job removing the old unit, and did a very clean install of the new unit. They walked me through the use of the unit, provided manuals and answered all of my questions. This was our second time having the folks at Champion help us with our plumbing needs, and they'll be at the top of the list the next time something comes up! read more

Jerry did a great job unclogging my shower. He was fast, punctual, and successfully dealt with the clog despite a difficult shower grate. Getting the appointment set up over the phone was also very quick and easy. Highly recommend! read more

Giving feedback on my interaction with this company in the time of COVID-19: We're all supposed to be sheltering in place right now and the only reason I'm letting someone into my home is to see to the fact that I have mold growing on a wall where previous plumbing work had been done. I get a call from Scott indicating he is outside, so I put on my face mask. I also ask him if he is wearing a face mask, and he says no. I offer one, but am flustered by this cavalier response and am unable to locate any of my extra masks, so I ask him to use his own. He says he has to go back to his car to get one, which I ask him to do. What I want to know is why he was planning to enter into a client's home without a facemask during this time? Is this Champion Plumbing's standard operating procedure during Shelter-in-Place, despite the Santa Clara County May 22 order requiring all individuals to wear face coverings when at business, whether you are an employee or customer? Not cool. I ask him to come back when he has a mask, which he does 5 minutes later, at which point I ask him to take off his boots before entering my home because I do not wear shoes in my home. He says his insurance does not allow him to go without toe coverings. I ask him if he has shoe coverings then, since this is Cupertino and should be a fairly standard request by clients in this area. I have worked with many vendors before, including Comcast cable technicians, fire alarm inspectors, plumbers, contractors, and they always bring these with them. He says he needs to go back to his car to get them... And this is pretty much how the interaction goes, with what feels like a cavalier attitude towards safety and a lack of professionalism. I let him in because at this point, he is 25 minutes late from the time window their dispatcher quoted to me, and it's been 2 weeks since I first reported this mold issue to my HOA. After he left, I mopped my entire kitchen floor and disinfected all of the surfaces he touched, because he didn't bring or wear gloves either. Altogether, a disappointing interaction demonstrating a lack of compliance with current county-wide orders relating to COVID-19 or care towards customer concerns for safety and cleanliness. If you choose to work with this company, please be aware that you, as the customer, will need to stand your ground and ensure they comply with safety precautions. read more

Our kitchen had backed up and we called Champion plumbing for help. They were prompt and came within an hour on Saturday after being upfront with the cost for the weekend visit. Everything went okay with identifying the blockage and cleaning up the pipe but then when we happened to check a couple of days later we noticed the pipes were not tightened back and our cabinets are now swollen up due to the water leak We called up today to discuss the problem and are still waiting for a call back. read more

Replaced the main water pipe from the meter to the house. Fast response, showed up on time. Neat and tidy work.

Paul did a great job and cleaned out our common area clog. It was 10:30pm and the clean out at our townhouse was very difficult to locate, but thanks to Paul, who eventually found it! He was tenacious and very thorough. We appreciate his professionalism and his extensive experience and knowledge. We highly recommend Paul and Champion Plumbing. read more

I had a septic flood 8 days ago. Not once, but twice, because the problem was resolved. Bathroom into my bedroom. Absolutely horrible. I had one plumber snake for several hours. Left me saying they couldn't do it and left toilet off.. Insurance battles, promised results and coverages from another plumbing company. So many lies. Got more estimates. Went with Tim, at Champion. Professional, no lies, and not only did he come right away, Scott came shortly after, put camera down. Marked it , and sent two of his crew over...Jack and Robert . They worked So hard! Professional, courteous, efficient , and an excellent price! I am so very happy! Fabulous Company! Better than great! Awesome! I'm happy...feelin glad.... Thank you! read more

Follow up of 9-10-2021, since Scott did not stay long to check to make sure the hot water heater was working correctly in a short time after him leaving I found the hot water heater was not working. Champion plumbing quality of work comes with a taillight guarantee, it is only good for as long as you can see their taillights. I decided to replace my hot water heater with a tankless heater. I found a smaller company that believes in customer service and they gave me a reasonable price on a tankless water heater. read more

Quick to answer, make an appointment, get to house, assess problem & fix it. We have used them several times as has our parents and friends.

I've had Champion Plumbing do work in my home several times because I trust them. They replaced all the galvanized supply pipes with copper, re-sloped drain lines in the crawl space so waste water could drain properly and replaced a water heater. All of the plumbers are courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. Their workmanship is excellent and they use high quality materials. I highly recommend them. read more

I've been using this company for over 10 years for a variety of plumbing services, including faucet installation, drain clearing, a recent hot water heater installation, etc. Last weekend, the main drain from our bathroom/laundry clogged and overflowed. Champion had someone out to look at it and diagnose it immediately. The repair involved clearing the drain and replacing a decaying cast iron pipe. The cost was reasonable, they were thorough, prompt, and came when they said they would. Overall, I've been very satisfied. read more

I had a horrible experience with this company. First they sent me a plumber who showed up on Saturday to change the piping for a pedestal sink. Plumber was there for no more than 20 minutes and was already outside having a cigarette. He comes back in and says he needs another part which he didn't bring, even though he came the day before to see what work had to be done. Instead of getting the part and returning he said he would come back on Monday and left after being there for 30 minutes. Paul, came to help finish the job. He not only said I was complicated because I wanted the sink installed correctly and to line up with the light fixture. He didn't even install the sink properly. He said there were no holes to mount the sink and secure it. I look under the sink after he leaves and what do I find, two holes to mount the pedestal sink. Unreal!! After dealing with this company for several days, I just wanted them to leave. I will never hire or refer them. read more

I manage a 36 unit apartment building in Palo Alto. Champion Plumbing quoted $20,000-$30,000 cheaper than 3 other plumbing companies to replace our old boiler- water heater system. Their service and quality of work were OUTSTANDING. The boiler has been installed for 3 months now and works perfectly. They were clean, efficient, quiet, respectful to our property, did exactly what they said they were going to do in the time frame promised. I really enjoyed working with the owner of the company, Tim, who is an excellent communicator. Good contractors are so hard to come by anymore these days! They also have warm, friendly and efficient administration and phone dispatch. Along with saving an extraordinary amount of money, I couldn't be happier with this company's work! read more

I've used Champion Plumbing (408-437-1507 or 408-275-0909) for at least 10 years for plumbing issues at home, and they are excellent, but they also have at least one person who does appliance repairs. They are very fast and responsive, and I used them to repair our oven a week before Thanksgiving (that was a critical repair). read more

Champion to the rescue! Jerry Melendez is a superhero with an invisible cape! He fixed the shower in my 72 year-old house. It was a big job! He had to go through drywall, cut and remove pipes (replace with copper) and install a metal plate on the tile shower wall. The work was done to perfection, and in my world, was nothing short of a miracle! Jerry is professional, efficient and knows his trade! Naturally, when my upright garden faucet sprung a leak underground, Jerry was able to fix it! His upbeat nature made it a pleasure to have him work here! I am so grateful to have found a reliable, honest plumber---a great reflection of Champion Plumbing! read more

Wow! Finally a plumbing company that shows up on time, with competitive pricing. I have used several plumbing company for our dealerships, none gave the professional service that Jerry Melendez provides. What a hard worker who knows his trade. From now I'm only using this Champion plumbing read more

The support team is very responsive. The owner is a super nice and honest guy. He even gave us suggestions on what to look for if we were willing to get some dirt on our hands and save some money. Their team is professional. They know what they are doing, they are not trying to trick you into believing that the project requires thousands of dollars in expenses (Rescue Rooter wanted to call in an excavation team to determine the cause of the leak. Champion Plumbing did it at a fraction of their suggested cost). Our restaurant Scramblz Alameda (San Jose), is very grateful for their timely and professional service. read more

We had a blocked pipe, with sewer water backing up into a shower, very nearly overflowing; caught it just in time to avoid floor damage, but it was a very, very close thing. Champion was willing to come out at midnight on a Labor Day holiday to fix it, and no one else would. They arrived in 30 minutes and dealt with it so we could get to sleep; if you've ever had to deal with something like that, you can probably relate to just how much I appreciate it. It sure does seem as if you can count on these guys to help you out of a tight spot. read more

We had a pretty bad leak under our kitchen sink and called Champion on Wednesday (before 4th ofJuly). They were great and sent somebody out that evening. It turned out we needed a new faucet in addition to leaking supply lines. We bought a new faucet and Champion came this morning and finished the job. Everything is working great now and they were a pleasure to deal with. Scott came out on Wednesday and another gentleman today. We are very happy with their service and professionalism and would highly recommend and use them again should we need to. read more

Had them install my water heater about four years ago. The water heater crapped out and it still is under warranty. Called them up to see if they will cover the warranty and they said it's up to the manufacture to cover the parts. Going back-and-forth for almost a week of the blame game with no heat in my water this Champion Plumbing has done nothing to help me solve my problem. The Manufacturer told me that I needed to flush my water tank once a year to release the sediment in the tank. The Manufacturer told me that it was the responsibility of the Company whoever installs the water tank to inform me of this annual task. Champion plumbing failed to do so and placed the blame right back on the Manufacturer stating that it was their responsibility to tell me. All that said it's been almost a week and I still have no heat in my water tank. The Manufacture has overnighting me a part and I'm going to have another plumbing service to take care of me. Champion plumbing didn't give a flying fart about my situation. They were rude on the phone and would not work with me to get my water heater fixed. All they care about is your money. They want to Nickel and dime you for everything. Don't trust them and they're way too expensive and overpriced on their services. read more

I'm not going to give too many identifying facts about my experience with Champion because it was just that shady. We found the business on Yelp, but I'm really not sure of the validity of the reviews because our experience was so terrible. I deal with professional vendors all day at work and was immediately wary of Champion's professionalism when, after taking off work early to meet the tech, he told me right before he was supposed to be at my home that he would be an hour late. Ok...but then I heard nothing from him for over two hours after THAT, making him a total of 3 hours late once he finally arrived. The end result of that evening was that I had to wait until 9:45PM to find out that the job could not be completed and that the efforts my boyfriend and I had made to separately coordinate the moving parts of our water heater repair were all for nothing. There were promises of coming back the next day to complete the job, but the next day went much the same as the first, and I had to make the executive decision to cut our losses and start over with a new company. The following day (with the new company) I had a new water heater installed in two hours and was left with nothing but a bad memory of Champion Plumbing. I will never be using them again and would not recommend to anyone who values their time or sanity. read more

Not sure other 5 stars reviews are from genuine customers or something else. I am not happy with service from this Company. I called them to fix the bathroom faucet that was very tight to operate. I suspected that it could be due to faulty "cartridge' so I mentioned over the phone (at the time of making appointment.) to service appointment lady that I do have new "cartridge' . Guy (I think Daniel, He did not introduce himself) arrived and parked his service vechile in my driveway. I requested to clear my driveway as my wife has to drive out from Garage. He gave weird gesture like I have requeted something unreasonable. Guy replaced the cartiridge in 10 minutes and about to leave. I tested the faucet and still it was tight. He was asking me for 1 hour labor without fixing my original issue of "tight faucet". He has no professional attitude of fixing up my problem irrespective of root cause. I am feeling like I have been robbed in day time by licensed professional. Dear fellow customer do not trust ***** 5 star Yelp reviews. Thanks for reading this post. read more

Semi-emergency situation at our property in Milpitas on a Friday night. Consulting Yelp, I called two plumbers in Milpitas (not Champion because they're listed in San Jose). I suspected I wouldn't get a call back on a Friday night and I was right. However, early Saturday I got a call from one of the guys I'd left a message for who was nice enough to tell me he wasn't available (out of town) but recommended Champion Plumbing because they have a guy in Milpitas. I called the office number for Champion Plumbing at 7:30AM and a woman answered the phone. Short story: she contacted their guy in Milpitas (Daniel) and called me back to tell me that Daniel could be at the property within an hour. He was there in less than 30 minutes, quickly snaked the sewer line and cleared the roots that were causing the problem. Although the rate she quoted was slightly different from what Daniel charged, it was still reasonable and we were pleased with Daniel's work. read more

The knob broke on the parents bathtub. I called Champion Plumbing on a Friday evening. A nice woman answered the phone. She coordinated an appointment with one of their plumbers for the next day. I was given a time window and the name of the plumber assigned to the job. Daniel showed up within the time window. He took some time to evaluate the problem. He said it was fixable and gave me an estimate on the repair. My first thought was to replace the whole fixture. I even went to Home Depot the day before and bought a new one. Daniel explained that installing a new fixture would involve knocking a hole in the wall. My parents needed a fully functioning bathroom that day so I agreed to fix the exiting setup. He went to the store and came back with parts that matched the knob. The whole job took an hour from start to finish. The faucet was up and running with little disruption to my parents lives. Sometimes the simplest solution really is the best. I appreciated the honest and professional way I was treated from the first phone call to the finish of the job. read more

They made an error with booking, arrived late, determined defect to water heater, ordered part which they indicated could get installed same day it arrived and at the day indicate they are fully booked. Below average experience so far.. Maybe tomorrow during the next service call will they be able to gain more stars? They gained two additional stars the day after by fixing the GE water heater where other plumbers indicated they don't service 5 yr old GE models. Fixed, so happy customer besides some delays. read more

Definitely a great service. Got there right ontime made it quick and painless. Accepts Credit cards very clean and not pushy. Daniel was both professional approachable and informative when need be. Would recommend to anyone looking for a Plumber. Was a simple fix but I believe they could handle just about anything. read more

This is the second time I have used Champion Plumbing on Camden, and I am satisfied with the job they did both times. First time I had a leak in my shower from a remodel I had done years prior. It was fixed quickly and the price was fair. This time, I called them for a re-pipe, I had galvanized pipes, again, the job was done well and the price again was fair. The men were on time, mindful, neat and nice. The plumbing, price and time they took was fine, I did not like the caulking job they did for the pipes entering the house though. Otherwise, I would recommend them to my family and friends and would certainly use them again. Thank you Champion read more

Great service, reasonable estimate, helpful advice. We had a leak coming from the upstairs tub and a number of other repairs around the house that I had put off. Paul arrived and did some testing. He had to cut through some drywall to tell for sure, that it was a leak in the drainage pipe. It appeared that the pipe was too short (probably a job done by the previous owner). He said it was a straight forward job to replace the section with the proper length. He also pointed out that my toilet was missing it's seal and that could lead to a leak down the road. That and two other valves that needed replacing turned out to be affordable and professionally done. Thanks Champion - A+ read more

Hot water heater broke and they went above and beyond. Called at 4:30 in the afternoon and by 10 the next day job was completed. read more

Replaced a portion of our main sewage drain line quickly and for a reasonable price. They were professional and a pleasure to deal with.

I had a Cinco de mayo emergency at the welding shop. The neighboring body shop was flooded. The sun was going down and i was panicking. I know the guys at Champion Plumbing would have rather bbq with the ladies but they SAVED THE DAY!!! Thanks a million!! Do not flush blue shop towels...dont do it! I highly recommend Champion Plumbing 701 Kings Row read more

Our plumbing back up and after trying for a while I couldn't make any progress. It was the Fourth of July and didn't think I would be able to find anyone to do the job. After calling and explaining the situation they sent out someone to take care of it. It took the guy 15 minutes to fix the issue. The cost was incredibly reasonable, especially for it being a holiday. read more
