    New sewer pipe.
    Devon J.

    Faren and his team do great work. His crew can address emergency calls after hours, do underground work (new pipes and cleaning), and general plumbing. He has helped me solve issues with strange connections in waste pipes (from unknown neighboring buildings), resolved backed up waste pipes from a clogged house trap, and other issues. His truck is stocked with the necessary items to make repairs on the spot. I highly recommend him and his team.

Paul responded to our request almost instantly, was at our home at 9am, and we had a functioning water heater with a new pilot assembly by 9:20am. Paul also noticed the exhaust vent wasn't correctly installed by the previous company and fixed it free of charge, which has brought our gas bill down by over 20%! Their service was priced competitively and communication was excellent throughout the process. Most importantly, they truly care. They took what could have been a nerve-wracking process and made it feel effortless.

I called Excalibur and they said this wasn't true. They could install a similar model of tankless water heater to the one I had. Their quote was almost $2000 less than the other plumber. I since had an HVAC company come out for something else and mentioned I had to change the heater recently. I told him what I paid and he said that was honestly a good price. Excalibur seemed honest and helpful and they were able to come out first thing the next morning and get my heater replaced. They did a good job and the new unit looks better installed than the original. They also gave me advice on how to maintain it and what maintenance I could do myself to descale it etc so it doesn't break again. Overall happy either way the service even though overall it was expensive it was still less than other quotes I got.

    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!

My husband went into the crawlspace to look and pipes were leaking under the pressure of a clog somewhere. I called Discount plumbing who sent Antonio out and he arrived on time even though it was a Sunday afternoon. There was no additional call out charge for it being a Sunday and no charge unless work needed to be done. Antonio spent time investigating our sewer line which was completely blocked with roots and partially collapsed. Antonio showed us the camera footage as he investigated. He also went into the crawlspace to confirm what my husband had seen. Antonio was so personable throughout and very clear in his explanation of what was going on and what work needed to be done to fix everything. He returned with a full crew the following day at 8am who put in a 13hr+ day to replace all the damaged pipes in our crawlspace and replace the sewer line.

Given we initially thought we would have to move out of the house while we waited for work to be done, this was an amazing service.

Not only did he made it possible to get me scheduled in before the weekend (super busy) but he got me the exact model of water heater I was looking for. I don't really know too much about water heaters but I do know that my old one lasted me a long time and I wanted to MAKE SURE to stick with the brand. John stated that they don't usually sell that type of water heater but since I was dead set on it he would make it happen just for me. And he came through and delivered. When he came to my place, he was respectful and was very careful when taking out the old one. He pretty much treated it like his own home. Then he was even more careful placing in the new one. AT LAST! Hot water again! The following day I got a call back from the owner asking how the service was and how John was. I obviously only had great things to say. But it was still nice to know that the owner is involved in the business and that he actually cares how each job was handled. Personally, I feel it goes a long way when a business reaches out to their customers to follow up - not necessarily because something went wrong, but just because. I really appreciated that and it made me feel like a valued customer and they do really care about their work and reputation, thanks again!

In my case, I have quite a story of having to go five days without hot water because the unit I received was defective. The day after the install we found the tank had shut down. After a reset and restart done over the phone with the installer assisting, the unit failed again, a short time later. The next day which was a Saturday, another technician came out to swap out a heat sensor which appeared to be the problem. While changing out the part, the tech noticed that insulation near the assembly had burned, and ash was present. He vacuumed it out and restarted the unit. It made a horrible noise, and he spent a half an hour on the phone with the manufacturer tech support trying to diagnose the problem. The noise eventually went away and he finished the repair. Unfortunately the machine shut down again after we got one warm shower. I called on Sunday, and explained that I was no longer comfortable with the unit being in our house and I wanted a replacement, of a different maker. Without hesitation they agreed, and Monday morning, after acquiring a, more expensive model of a different make from a supplier, we got a replacement installed, at no additional cost. These problems are rare, and not the fault of the installer. I could not have asked for a more timely and considerate treatment as a valued customer of this business.

    UPDATE: Following my…read moreoriginal post, General Manager David reached out early the next morning to understand what went wrong. He promptly dispatched a supervisor, Steve, to inspect the unit. Steve went above and beyond from the start, successfully reigniting the failed water heater and troubleshooting the permit issue. The inspection issue was due to the local code requiring runoff to be routed outside rather than into the crawl space. Wanting to avoid drilling through my front porch, Steve proposed using a workaround device (FloodStop or Watts 210) and proactively reached out to the city inspector for approval. Once the inspector confirmed that a Watts 210 valve met code, David coordinated a return visit for Steve to replace the unit with a Bradford White model and install the approved valve. Steve did a beautiful job with the new installation, expertly redoing the piping and leaving the indoor cabinet completely clean. Best of all, I can finally take a hot shower without worrying that the water heater is going to die on me! I want to extend a sincere thank you to David for listening to my concerns and focusing on a real solution, and to Steve for his outstanding expertise, proactive communication with the city, and top-notch craftsmanship. All the fixes, including additional parts and labor, were provided at no extra charge. While the initial experience was stressful, the management team truly stepped up to make things right.

I even reached out to the BBB hoping they would respond (without the run around) and they have not. On 8/19 I had an appt to inspect shower spout and toilet flange. The shower spout was repaired that day. For the toilet flange, I was told it needed to be replaced & repositioned and I needed a new toilet. I was quoted $3583 and told it would take 3-4 hours to completed. Based on the scope of work, it seemed to be a reasonable estimate. When the plumber arrive the following week to do the work, it took 1.5 hours. I inquired about a reduction in price since it took less than half the time. I was told no. Not feeling comfortable with that, I reached out asking what the hourly rate was. Instead of answering my question, I was told that some plumbers are more efficient and I wouldn't be charged more if it took longer etc etc. I was given an option to discuss the details of the estimate via email. I then received a phone call about my concerns. I was told they would look at a $1088 charge and get back to me the next day. 2 days later I received a voicemail that I was overcharged and would receive a $585 refund. Still no explanation for what & no breakdown of charges. Now I wonder what else was I overcharged for? What is the hourly rate? How can the plumber that gave the estimate be so wrong about the time the work would take?

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!
