I had a great experience with Dave's Specialized Rooter Inc. My garbage disposal had stopped working and Oscar came out to take care of it. He was friendly, professional, knowledgeable. He quickly figured out what was wrong and got everything working again. I really appreciate how easy the entire experience was and how quickly the problem was resolved. Excellent service from start to finish. I would definitely call Dave's Specialized Rooter again and highly recommend Oscar! read more

He arrived on time and fixed the problem for the agreed upon fee. Very nice guy. I will use him again!

We have used Dave's several times for plumbing issues. Everyone we have worked with knowledgeable and courteous. The work Is always done well and they always check to make sure everything is working properly and cleaned up before they leave. read more

Dave came out to scope my drain and find the place where the blockage occurred. On time as usual. Located the place using a detector and marked it for me. read more

Oscar and his team were exceptional to work with. They were able to get here within 2 hours of calling them. The team showed up promptly at 11am for 11am-12pm window scheduled. The work was done in just over an hour. Both professionals wore booties in the house and were very polite and communicative about each step. They inspected under the house in the crawl space for leaks and ran a camera down the pipes to look for any blockages. Very thorough work! There was a leak from toilet so they replaced the wax seal and added caulking around the toilet. Things were left spotless. Pricing was very reasonable. I highly recommend Dave's for any of your plumbing needs. read more

Super team! 10 stars if I can give to them! Very friendly and helpful and knowledgeable!

David D. is great to work with. He knows his stuff and very transparent with the scope of work.

Dave is awesome! Super experienced, very professional, and well organized! I was in a jam on an plumbing issue with another vendor and Dave came right out and got the job done quickly. He is quite knowledgeable, his terms are very fair, and he went the extra mile to make sure it was done properly. I will definitely call him in the future for my plumbing issues. read more

dave was professional and the work was done efficiently. hopefully won't need their services again but have told all our friends about their service. read more

The service from Oscar & his team were great. Very courteous and came out for a leak I had in my water main in the front of my house. Because of the rain, the dirt & lawn were easy for them to dig and get to the source, and they repaired it in about 4 hours. My hesitation to give them 5 stars is the cost. It was $2800 which is on the steep end from what I have seen especially since the digging was easy for them and the repair was pretty straightforward. They replaced the part of the pipe that had the leak. The cost was my biggest concern. read more

Dave was prompt, very efficient with respect to diagnosing the best solution based on ensuring he had a thorough understanding of the situation. He expertly snaked from a different clean out and fixed our problem. He has come in the past, and I'm glad I hired him back. Highly recommended. And he was gave a price after his diagnosis and it was very reasonable. read more

I filled out the general Yelp project details to request quotes from multiple plumbers. I stated my issue and asked for a quote to assess the issue, and for the repair. I didn't say anything about my expectations of cost. The arrogant response from Dave was off putting and unnecessary. I can only assume he's been turned down for projects for high pricing. Fine, maybe he doesn't want to waste his time on estimates that don't get picked up. But his assumption of my intent and his aggressive response to a request for a quote was so rude! I didn't bother responding to his comment and went with someone else (and certainly not at a "handyman price" whatever that is). read more

We once again needed plumbing help on short notice and Dave came through and did excellent work. This is our 2nd time calling Dave and he will be the first plumber we call next time. Dave repaired and rebuilt the drain line and p trap on our bathroom sink, including replacing the stopper on the sink and dealing with a heavily corroded pipe inside the wall. He showed up when he said he would. He's friendly and professional. The results look great. read more

My bathrooms and kitchen were plugged. Dave successfully cleaned all drain and sewer lines. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and leaves the areas clean. Communication is easy, everything is well explained. I highly recommend him and definitely will call him again for any plumbing issues. read more

Dave provides reliable, informed, service at a reasonable price. He was first recommended by my regular plumber to clear massive drain blockage. Since then, he's provided budget-friendly yearly maintenance (there are a lot of trees with a lot of roots along my 90-ft+ sewer line), clearly showing what he's found and what he's done, and there have been no more emergency calls. A good, trustworthy (and pleasant) plumber is a godsend. I'm grateful to have his services on tap. read more

Dave is amazing with proper accurate diagnosis instead of random guesses which can be very costly! We had a leak under the house that we were told to replace the pipe coating thousands of dollars when the issue was only to replace the worn out wax! Dave is prompt, professional, punctual and friendly. He does an amazing job and is very fair in price! He also help us with our sewer maintenance every 6month because of big tree roots! When it's plumbing issues is DEFINITELY Dave!! THANK YOU DAVE! read more

Our 2nd time working with Dave and just like the 1st time he solved our problem perfectly for a reasonable price and was a pleasure to work with.

Dave responded right away and arrived that same day and expertly found the problem and cleaned the drains. Highly recommended.

David is professional to the core. Prompt and through replies , punctual, courteous, respectful and hardworking. I had reached out to a couple of the plumbers for a clog in the home drainage system due to which the water was backing up in my toilet and my bathtub. The responses some of them give are simply bizarre. One of them without any triaging or investigation quoted me a price which had nothing to do with the issue at hand. I am pretty handy with basic fixes but this was to a point where I needed expert help. In comes David with his gadgets and laid out the complete drainage system of my house and showed me exactly where the blockages are on the camera. He was absolutely TRANSPARENT with what he was doing to fix the issue. This was key because I knew exactly what was going on and the effort it was taking him to go 60ft and beyond to clean out the tree root, pieces of leftover debris etc. All of this at a very reasonable cost and stuck to his estimate. Also gave some amazing tips advice, recommendations on the next steps without any sales pitch. I cant recommend him enough and hope he continues his fair business practices which seems to be becoming rare nowadays. Thanks a lot David now I can finally shower lol read more

I've added Dave's to my speed dial. Our bathrooms would periodically have a bad odor over the years, and it recently became unbearable. I had called other plumbers before, and none could figure it out. Raymond G. and Dave both came out to troubleshoot. Unfortunately, the odor wasn't present that day, but Raymond, a Toto-trained specialist, spent time walking through the possibilities. I really liked that he took time to think through the possible causes. He even noticed something wrong with the *sound* of the flush. A toilet whisperer. :) I had them do a few other repairs instead like a leaky toilet, clogged tub, and kitchen faucet repair. They were reasonably priced. The next day, the odor came back and the leaky toilet had an additional, smaller leak that we missed the day before. Raymond and Dave both returned, at no charge, to fix the additional leak. After verifying the odor, they checked the vents outdoors and found that those had been capped, trapping all the sewer gases! (A pest control company may have capped them to prevent rats from entering.) They uncapped and covered the vents properly, then tested the flushes. While the odor didn't go away immediately, they eventually disappeared that day. They checked all the roof vents and found another vent related to the dryer was capped. They even fixed that, and now the laundry room is no longer humid and hot! What I like so much about both Dave and Raymond is that they truly care about the customer. They took the time to figure things out. They returned the second day at no charge to complete the fixes to the leaky toilet and vent problems. Dave even called back today to make sure everything is working properly. They also didn't come with an attitude of "let me see how much I can rip off these rich Palo Alto residents." (I've had some bad experiences with plumbers doing that to me.) They are honest and trustworthy. You get the sense they take pride in making people happy while earning an honest day's wages. So call Dave. You'll be happy. read more

Dave had a guy here first thing in the morning to fix my plumbing issues. Very professional and reasonable. I highly recommend them

I called Dave on Friday late afternoon to fix 3 problems. He came out Saturday morning and ended up fixing 5 problems! Thanks!

Amazing, amazing service from Dave! My toilet wasn't flushing properly so Dave came and immediately knew the main sewer line was clogged. He snaked the pipes several times and discovered tree roots were growing inside the pipes of the main line. He also snaked a camera down the pipes to show me the source of the problem. He took his time and did a thorough job breaking up the roots and cleaned the pipes. Unfortunately for me and the old street pipes in front of my house, Dave explained the roots will continue to grow inside the pipes so snaking the pipes annually is something I'll need to maintain but now I have a great plumber I can call on so I feel a huge sense of relief. Dave is professional, personable and very skilled at his trade. I initially called Mike of He-Man Plumbing since I've used him before and trust but he didn't want to come to Redwood City so he recommended I call Dave. They are former colleagues and anyone Mike has recommended me in the past has been excellent and I can't say any less of Dave. I am proud to call Dave my new trusted plumber and I highly recommend Dave for any of your plumbing needs. I would give him 10 stars if I could! read more

I was so pleased with their service that I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of rooter services. Thank you for your excellent work! read more
