They responded to the yelp request quickly. They were willing to come look at the leaking toilet the same day for estimates and repair. Upon arrival and inspection, Cristian fixed the issue and told me it was a simple job and didn't charge me for it. Such honesty is so rare. I highly recommend Commando plumbing and Cristian! read more

I was first working with Alex for the free inspection of the heat pump water heater at my place, and later Marvin came to place to replace the heating element and flush the tank completely. I was surprised by how dirty it was and the unit was way overdue for the maintenance. Marvin showed me how to do flushing and maintenance on my own and he was really helpful and knowledgeable. I really appreciate their help and definitely will work with them in the future. read more

Commando Plumbing - Old dirty heating element overdue for service - Plumbing Near Me - Menlo Park, California

Commando Plumbing came thru with flying colors! My old tank water heater failed and flooded by guest cottage (uggh). I got 3 bids and Commando was not on my radar initially, but they were quite responsive. When I met with Marvin, he was super helpful and informative and professional. He provided good information and I didn't feel I was being sold something, he listened to my needs and was helpful. I need up with a Rinnai tankless water heater with a descaler and a recirc/wifi controller and a drip pan all for a much better price than others. And he was able to do the work the next day, very clean and smooth, with great communication along with way. Great experience all around. They do a lot of other services as well, so I am keeping them in my list as my new favorite plumber. read more

I was having problems with one of my toilets and when I called they were able to send someone out within 40 minutes. Marvin was very polite and had great customer service. He explained everything to me and answered all our questions. read more

I had a really bad experience with the plumber. I was on vacation and out of the country and Alex showed up to investigate the problem. He told me that the problem is within the steel pipe that lead from the meter to the house. He said, the very difficult to find out where the leakage is in the steel pipe. He told me that he recommend to replace the whole pipe and it will cost about $12,000. When I came back from my vacation, I went and investigated myself. I found out that the pipe that leading out of the meter, is 1 yard long, and is made out of steel. However, after one yard it is coupled with a plastic pipe. Not only that, it was very easy to see that the leakage is from the coupler that connect the steel pipe and the plastic pipe. I'm not the plumber, and it took me about 20 minutes to get the full picture for the problem is and to understand what need to be done. Clearly, there is no need to replace the whole pipe between the meter and the house. read more

Thank you for very prompt service! Commercial service calls can be a complex situation, and you handled it great!

Leo from Commando Plumbing came out to repair/replace some water shut off valves that were not working and stopping the completeion of a home project. I appreciated the fast service. I was also pleased that I when I noticed decreased water pressure afer the repair, I was able to reach out and Leo came back out to look at the issue and solve it as part of the 90 day guarantee of their work. Overall, I am a happy customer. read more

Kudos to Commando Plumbing for honesty and customer service. I called them to help with a sewage backup. Leo came out immediately and traced the problem to a city-managed portion of the sewage line. He said he could fix it but the city would do it at no cost and recommended I call them instead. He didn't charge me for his time. It's rare to encounter someone who thinks about long-term customer relationship instead of making short-term money. Leo was professional, friendly, and helped us identify a free solution to our problem. Thank you, Commando! (Full disclosure: We had one great experience with Commando prior, then a no-show/no-follow-up for an urgent job which led to my negative review. Now, another very positive experience. If Commando could remain consistent, they'd be fantastic!) read more

We hired Commando Plumbing to re-pipe our home and had a fantastic experience. Their bid was very fair, and Jose and his team were professional, courteous, and efficient.

Highly recommend them for any plumbing or re-piping needs. read more

Marvin and Ronaldo were so incredible today, I put in a request in the morning and they came out by 10am, fixed my leaking shower head.

Alex came to my house right away, saved me money by looking into the warranty. I would def use them again.

We discovered a bathroom leak that was damaging the wood floor. Called around, Commando Plumbing was first on the scene same day, within 2 hours of my call, for a free inspection and quote. Leo quickly identified the source of the leak, not at all as complicated as I had feared, and suggested a very economical solution (I acquire the replacement, and he installs it at my convenience). He came back the next morning (today), installed the new plumbing very quickly, took the old away, and was extremely neat, polite, and helpful the whole time. I'm going to call Leo any time I have any plumbing need! read more

Commando Plumbing - New low-flush toilet and bidet. Happy, happy! - Plumbing Near Me - Menlo Park, California

We got an alert last Wednesday from ACWD for a potential leak due to continuous flow detected over 24 hr. We looked all over the place but there were no visible leaks inside or outside of the house. From the online meter reading, we could see the leak was getting worse. So I posted a request for leak detection on Yelp last Friday. Commando responded quickly and offered a free estimate with a confirmed appt for that afternoon ( very effective initial communication). Javier came at 3pm, and found the leak within 10min. There was a leak in the pipe underneath between the meter and the valve to the house. Javier proposed two options, explained them clearly, and answered all the questions I had. He was also able to give a very reasonable quote verbally, with an official quote via email not too long after he left. Javier came again on Monday morning with a co-worker and spent almost 4 hours on the job. They went through the fix with us and made sure we were happy with the results before wrap-up. They also did a thorough clean-up with the dirt and debris to ensure the area returned to its original state. Two days after the job, Javier followed up again -- he was on another job nearby and wanted to check if everything is working fine with us. What a surprise! So I shared with him that we no longer have continuous flow based on the latest data. Kudos to Javier/Commando Plumbing for such a smooth and efficient end-to-end leak detection & repair service, as well as the outstanding customer care mindset. I would not hesitate to call them again should I have a plumbing need in the future! read more

I told Commando plumbing about my problem with my garbage disposal and on the phone, he suggested some things I should do and it got it working. They could have charged me for a visit and I wouldn't have known the wiser. But he saved me $200 that other plumbers were willing to take from me. Thank you so much! read more

Marvin and his colleague were at my house 11/26/24 and did the following work: (i) improved the plumbing of gas lines and also install an earthquake detector to auto-shutoff my gas in case of emergency; (ii) improved the plumbing of my water lines into the house and installed a Moen Flo Shutoff (leak detector and auto-shutoff); and (iii) removed my old water heater and installed a new one. The jobs were technical and required expertise and I am very impressed with the quality of their work. The guys worked diligently and kept the work areas as clean as possible and cleaned up after themselves. At all times they were polite and courteous. I received more than one estimate for the work and theirs was the best, as well. I highly recommend their services! I will use again if needed. read more

I had a major leak in my landscape plumbing and Commando quickly sent a plumber out the same day I called!!! I was amazed because they came with such short notice and they came from Menlo Park to the coast near Half Moon Bay. The plumber came and waited for me to get home; looked at the project and found another leakage as well. He ordered parts needed, went to hardware store to get them and fixed both pipes within two hours. Thanks so much!! Great company. So easy!! read more

Service was prompt, professional, and affordable. Will definitely use Commando Plumbing again if the need arises.

Marvin came and fix the stud toilet. Commando plumbing is great. Victor has good guys

Helped me with the drain blockage. It provided the free estimate promptly and finished the repair in the same day. The quality of the service is excellent. We were provided warranty if anything happens within 90 days. The contractor, Marvin, also helped us fix a minor leak free of charge. Thanks for the great service! read more

We had a leak under the sink (a p-trap problem). Contacted Commando Plumbing via Yelp and Victor sounded very knowledgeable, gave me a quote over the phone (actually two, one for replacing the whole thing, one for reconnecting the old parts with a new joining-thingie). It's not cheap but his guy Leo showed up within the hour, confirmed the quotes, and did the job in under an hour. Leo knows his stuff and is very courteous. Thanks! read more

Super honest folks! A person came to inspect my leak an told me how to fix it myself without spending money. Other people quoted $700+ for the fix that was totally not needed. The plumber was honest and said that he fixes it, it will be several hundred dollars but he did not see any issue with the pipes and told me what sealant to use. I did exactly what he suggested and I was able to repair the leak myself. It is just that after many years the seal had come off and there was no real leak in the pipes. read more

Marvin came out for a free estimate for a connector on an existing gas line. I appreciate that he took the time to inspect my whole gas system instead of just writing up a quick-glance estimate like I've had done elsewhere. I knew I had older pipes and several terminated lines from old appliances and heaters, but I didn't realize the corrosion was so bad. He also found a small gas leak, so definitely something I wanted to take care of quickly. He returned the next morning with his crew, Kevin and Luis, and replaced all of the corroded gas lines. Everyone was professional and friendly, and they cleaned up inside and out like they were never here. It also feels good to have a safe and updated gas system. Marvin took time at the end of their long day to make sure all of my questions were answered and that I was happy with the results. He explained all of their work, and included pictures from under the house which was very helpful. Overall this was a quick, professional, and friendly job complete. Commando Plumbing and Marvin and crew are highly recommended. read more

Charged $700 for a single person to perform less than two hours of work (two hair clogs and re-tightening a pipe). We were quoted at $400 and assured that the cost would remain at that after explaining that the clog was occurring on the third and first level of a tri-level townhome. They got there about an hour late and when they got there, they quoted significantly higher. Specifically, we were quoted $600 from a different company and separately $500 for the same amount of work and the same next day service from someone we previously used. They said their rate is $325 per drain way clog unclogged and $150 for reassembling the sink drain pipes (p trap and whatnot). The person giving initial quote assumed that the third and first floor clog were coming from the same place. Looking back it does look like they have kept their prices the same since 2022. They took care of the issue, and it was next day service, but at the price they quoted, I'd recommend someone local to Hayward, CA AND asking for an hourly rate. read more

We had a mysterious water leak in the ceiling of our garage which is shared with an upstairs neighbor (condo). We had a another company come out for an estimate first. They spent about 30 minutes and didn't touch anything. They said we would have to pay $1300 for a "3 step diagnosis" to find the problem. I sent a request on yelp and commando responded quickly and came the next day and opened up the ceiling and diagnosed the problem in 15 minutes. The technician really got his hands dirty diagnosing the problem, he even had a bunch of water dumped on him when he opened the ceiling more and he still pursued finding the problem with a smile on his face. He clearly explained the issue and provided a fair estimate for the repair on the spot. He also offered to be available the next morning with a companion to fix the problem. They showed up on time, fixed the problem and came in below the estimate. We are so so happy we chose Commando and highly recommend them! read more
