Joe is the best for sewer maintenance. He is a down to earth, old school plumber, who doesn't try to sell you anything and he gets the job done and here the next day. I used him back in August 2019 when we lost our plumber that we had known for 20 years. I believe I found Joe on Nextdoor at the time. He is very reasonably priced and someone you can trust. My husband has a smaller version of the machine that Joe has and is able to clear the sewer line most of the time, but sometimes after hours and hours of trying, I'd like to give him a break and call a plumber. I could not find the receipt from Joe back in 2019 and just today found it m. I had called many plumbers, one that came out at a pretty reasonable time but charged me $75 to tell me that we needed to have a camera view of the lines. He quoted us I think $500 to $600 to do that. When I refused he just kept trying to lower the price if I paid cash. I think it got down to like $200, pretty shady to me. We will use Joe next time my husband can't clear out the sewer and I'm so glad I found Joe's receipt but just wanted to tell everyone that he's your man. read more

I contacted Joe after a plumber sent through home warranty company appeared to be incompetent, unwilling to spend some efforts to clear the sewage stoppage, $75 wasted. It took just about 20 minutes for the real plumber to clean the roots. Besides being a top professional, he is very friendly and intelligent. Than you Joe! read more

I was convinced to replace the water pressure regulator by some other (with afancy logo and fancy truck) plumbers. They sounded serious.. but "unfortunately" i lost their number and they didn't call back. Another one refused to come bc i was in a different city, i couldn't make the girl onthe phone to check my address on google maps so she would see that ibam only 2mins driving distance (2min tops) So i called him. He was clean and sharp.. and he spent half an hour to convince me that i do not need a new regulator.. and he fixed the problem. Meanwhile he listened me carefully to make sure he covers everything. As a result he charged me a fair price, he could have just went with what I asked. For his honesty and good craft i will recommend him anyone i know.z read more

When you need a plumber - you really need one right away. There a numerous plumbers run by franchisees that are more interested in capturing you as a continuous customer than with just fixing your problem. Annual inspections, additional and often unnecessary services just to keep their revenue coming. Joe's plumbing is a throwback to the old days - a guy who arrives quickly, assuming his previous job is done. He fixed my problem with an exterior sewer blockage within 30 minutes, did not try to sell me a video inspection or replacing the line as other firms tried to do and had a lot of funny stories while doing his job. If you are in the Contra Costa County area, Joe is highly recommended and you don't need to join and pay Angies List to find out. read more

Look no further. In a world of cheats and fibbers, Joe is a refreshing one-man show who shows up on time, fixes the problem, gives more than required and often throws in extras at no extra cost. He's a man of his word and works with the skill commensuate with his 30 years of experience. He fixed a problem in 1/2 an hour that another plumber couldn't in 3 hours. If you want to work with a fair, honest and hardworking plumber who will get the job done without a lot of BS, then Joe is your guy. read more

We have just moved to Walnut Creek and don't have a list of "go-to" contractors and good service people. Actually with Yelp our whole process of finding excellent contacts is a cinch! Called Joe (5 star Yelp reviews) Tues and he was under the sink on Wed! He did a perfect job of eliminating a huge garbage disposal, complete with icky insides. Great personality, great workmanship....we were thrilled to have him as our plumber. His price was more than reasonable, and his knowledge and skill make him invaluable! Engaging personality, a real asset to his talents! Will keep his number handy, highly recommend, and thanks, Yelp, for coming through, once again! read more

After I noticed a ceiling leak on our living room floor, I contacted Joe, who lives down the street from me, and he came out in a matter of a few hours and patched the leak. Given that I did know the severity of the problem (i.e., would the ceiling collapse?) his prompt response was a reassurance to me and he charged me a very reasonable price for an emergency call and the services rendered.

Great job! Joe actually answered his phone when I called and texted me when he was 20 minutes away. Mine was a simple sink repair and unclog but Joe handled it all quickly and professionally. I'l definitely use Joe again and recommend him to my neighbors. read more

If you are in need of a great plumber...Joe is you guy. After spending all morning looking for a plumber that I could get on the phone and actually come out right away I found Joe. My main line was backed up and the clean out to the street is a long way. Most companies do not have the equipment that stretches that far but Joe did. He was also by the way the best price. He also does water heaters and will be back to upgrade mine next week. read more

I wish to Joe eternal youth because if he weren't around I got nobody to trust with my pipes. Seriously, call him. He's an honest dude that's cool to be around, too. You don't want some riff-raff company who hires unlicensed people to come over and do work under their company's contractor license read more

Been meaning to write this review. Easter of 2015 we had family staying with us and our main line got clogged. I found Joe online and he came out and fixed our problem. He is very affordable, and I just recommended him to our neighbor who is in need of an excellent plumber. If ever we need a plumbing service, I'm calling Joe first! read more

Joe's Plumbing Works, simply put, is the best. I contacted him on Monday and he was at my home on Tuesday - and he actually arrives on the day and time that he schedules. He is courteous, knowledgeable, and completes his work in a timely manner. Not only did he complete the job that I had contacted him about, he also took the time to do another small repair that I had not previously mentioned. If you want someone you can trust to do quality work at a very competitive price, call Joe's Plumbing Works, He definitely will be my "go to" person for all my future plumbing needs read more

I rarely give 5 stars. Joe (from the Commonwealth of MA) answers texts and shows up when he promises. The quality of the work is good. Last Saturday, I texted him early. he responded in minutes even though he just got up. He came out right away with comforting advice on what to do. I wish I were building a house so I could throw the business to him. He is also excellent in taking care of tenant issues if you are renting out a house. read more

Joe did a wonderful job for us on all of our plumbing needs, very honest, reliable and does a wonderful job! Definitely give him a call!

Joe is friendly, professional, and knows his craft. He works quickly and has very competitive pricing. He he was even generous enough to give us a like new Kohler toilet that was repurposed from another home project! Joe will be our go-to plumber for our other projects around our house. Thanks, Joe! You're the best! read more

Needed a plumber in a pinch to shut off the main water valve when the contractor from a warranty company did not show up for 24 hours. Joe came as soon as he finished another job. He quickly determined that there had to be a one at the street somewhere even though i live down a lane, Found it in front of the neighbors house where I never would have looked. Then he fixed two leaky faucets in record time and charged me a very reasonable fee. Joe's in my address book now. Highly recommended..... read more

Wow! Great customer service. Very responsive to my scheduling needs. Joe was able to diagnose two difficult problems with non-standard parts. He repaired and replaced at a very reasonable price. I am recommending Joe to all of my friends. Bill in Alamo read more

This plumber does an excellent job. He's quick to diagnose, repair, and clean up. I couldn't have asked for more. He came well prepared with spare parts and tools needed to make the necessary repairs. Plus, his price was very reasonable since he was able to get the job done within an hour. Joe is very experience and obviously knows the trade very well. I look forward to him to being my go to man for future repairs. read more

This Saturday morning I had an emergency leak. My old main water shut-off valve has been dripping water for few days and I needed help fast. I called Joe who came in and stopped the leak quickly with a smile on his face. He's very professional and experienced! I was impressed with his work! Highly recommended! read more

Joe was awesome! He was professional, timely, and had a great sense of humor. He was also very reasonably priced. I plan to recommend him to my friends and family and certainly to use him again in the future. Thanks Joe! read more

Joe just saved our Thanksgiving. The laundry and kitchen sinks backed up in the middle of preparing our holiday dinner and my husband had the *brilliant* idea to borrow a huge power drum and snake from a neighbor. You guessed it; the snake got stuck in the pipes somewhere under the house and our dinner was on hold while we frantically tried to find someone to help us. Joe to the rescue!! He remarked that "We're not having dinner at my house for a couple of hours, anyway" and was here within 15 minutes. Shortly thereafter, he managed to wrangle the snake out of the drain and yippee! the clog was gone. We all had a good laugh and he barely charged us anything because he "appreciates people who try to DIY" --- but don't get any bright ideas, lol!! Next time, we'll just call Joe first. read more

I definitely recommend this plumber! Joe looked at the problem, came up with a solution, and did a great job. Joe was prompt, efficient, and a really nice guy. His price didn't break the bank either. I will definitely keep his number in our family household phone book. Thanks Joe! read more

Joe does excellent work. He is reasonably priced. Joe is experienced and very professional. Everything I could ask for from a plumber. He replaced a shower valve for us and I could not be happier. read more

I can't thank Joe enough for his help. We had a new counter with sink installed, and I figured I could easily hook it up myself. I didn't figure on the 40-year old shut-off valve shearing off when I tried to disconnect the old dishwasher (at 11pm--just one more thing before I quit for the day). I left the water supply off, went on yelp and read through a few reviews, and chose Joe based on the stellar reports from his customers. I called him at 7:30 the next morning, left a voice mail, and he called me back immediately. Although he had a job scheduled, he told me he'd call that customer to see if he could show up later for that work, so he could help us out. To my great relief and appreciation, they agreed, and he was able to come by that morning. Realizing that sometimes it's just best to have a professional do the job, we asked him if he would also install the new garbage disposal and re-plumb the drains, since we had changed the orientation of the sink. He did a great job on all. Now, we hadn't asked for a quote up-front, since we were panicked about having no water, and some people might have taken the opportunity to charge us more after the work was done, but Joe's price was extremely reasonable, and we are extremely grateful. Next time we have any plumbing job, we will definitely call Joe, and I'd recommend him to anyone needing a plumber. Thanks again, Joe! read more

Had a shower head pipe snap at the threaded connection in the wall on a Saturday evening. Called who you might usually call in a plumbing emergency situation - the listing at the top of the search page, the big name brand plumbing people. Fortunately for me they were busy and wouldn't be able to get to me for a few hours. So I scrolled down and came across the reviews for Joe. All 5-star, all saying similar good stuff. Called Joe and arranged for him to come out Sunday morning at 8. Joe arrived at 8 sharp and 45 minutes later he was done. Didn't even charge the usual Sunday double-time rate! Will definitely call Joe for any future plumbing work, planned or emergency. And I will be recommending him to all my friends and family for their plumbing needs too. Definitely call Joe if you need plumbing help; the reviews you're reading are for real! read more

Joe came out to my house on Super Bowl Sunday after 5:00 pm and didn't even charge me! That said, this will be the plumber I'll call in the future. He was not able to solve my problem on Sunday night because I needed to replace a toilet. Unfortunately, Joe was booked the next day and I needed to get the toilet replaced immediately. So, I had to go with another plumber to finish the job. I really hated not being able to give Joe the job. Joe was professional and so courteous - anyone that will come out after hours at no charge is pretty great in my books. read more
