We were having problems with our backyard drains backing up and not draining properly. We had another person come out a few months back, he spent over an hour snaking the drains and charged us over $300. He couldn't figure out the problem and said we would need a specialist to come out and jack hammer up the concrete to figure it out. We were stressed out thinking this would be a huge bill. We tried to just deal with it but then all the rain was causing sitting water in the drains! My mom found Local Drain Specialists on Yelp and I gave them a call to come check it out. They were able to come out within a couple days and they immediately found the outlet drain, in our front yard buried under grass that had grown to cover it. They snaked it and got a bunch of mud and muck out and it's flowing and draining perfect now. They even replaced the cover with a taller one for better visibility. So relieved and thankful for these guys. read more

We had an emergency situation where water was continuously leaking and began flooding our home. We called LDS in a panic, requesting immediate service. Carlos arrived directly from his previous job within minutes of his estimated ETA. This was not only a relief to us, but quite admirable considering we were new customers. It didn't matter--Carlos worked us into his schedule and made our emergency his priority. He worked tirelessly, communicating with us the whole time on his findings and recommended next steps. We fully trusted his expertise and appreciated him being forthcoming about the work he was doing. The final bill was reasonable and matched the service performed, with no hidden fees or sneaky add-ons. He was professional, prompt, and provided us with quality service in a pinch. So great to find a trustworthy, quality rooter, especially in a pinch! Thank you read more

We had a kitchen sink that would drain extremely slow. Romeo came exactly on time and said before starting he'd need to go under the house to check our pipes just to make sure he wouldn't do any damage if they happened to be very old or compromised in some way. After checking, he educated me on some of what he found there and proceeded to start using his machine to clear the pipes. He found the plug, but went further to make sure the pipe was clear as far as he could go with his equipment. Close to the end he had me run the water and drain the dishwasher just to double check everything was perfect. Just before he left he gave me some tips to help keep any future plumbing issues at bay. I think he did a great job and we highly recommend Local Drain Specialist! read more

I contacted various plumbers to address a clogged sink drain, having taken some initial steps myself. Other plumbers either refused to give estimates or provided unreasonably high quotes. Local Drain Specialist stood out by offering fair prices, scheduling a prompt appointment for the next morning with a 1-hour window, and delivering on their promises. Carlos, the plumber, arrived on time, demonstrated professionalism, and efficiently addressed the issue. He provided helpful advice to prevent future clogs, identified a problem spot in the pipe, and offered a reasonable quote for pipe replacement and other minor fixes. Local Drain Specialist has earned my trust and will be my go-to for future plumbing needs! read more

We had a backup that was overflowing in our basement. We thought we could clear it, but it was too far down the line. We found Local Drain Specialist on Yelp and had a very positive experience. They give free estimates, which is always a bonus. The job took quite a while, as clearing the pipe was more work than expected. But they stuck to their original bid and even gave us a discount for running late - so we had no surprise extra charges. Both Romeo and Carlos were polite, respectful and tidy while on the job. We love local companies that are competent, professional, honest and ethical, which Local Drain Specialist is all of those qualities. If we have a future backup, we will definitely use them. read more

We are so happy that we found Local Drain Specialist. We originally wanted to do preventative maintenance and do a hydro jet. After looking at our pipes, Carlos the owner realized that we needed more than just a hydro jet. He knew that we had to reseal our pipes and I'm so happy that he did. He was professional, kind, and was able to do the job within days. We were going to have 7 people at our home and luckily experienced zero overflow nor plumbing issues. We were able to finally have regular plumbing that didn't cause us heart ache. So extremely lucky. Thank you so much Carlos for your service and we are happy that we found you to do an amazing job for us. I'd highly recommend his company!!! read more

Great service and quick turn around. I run a small restaurant and well operating plumbing is a must! Romeo came out early, per my request, before the restaurant opened. He handled my repairs flawlessly and even explained to me what happened and how I can prevent it from happening in the future with proper maintenance. He had me up and running well before we open and you would have never guessed we were dealing with plumbing issues from that point on. Highly recommend Local Drain Specialist in Tracy as they have great attention to detail, customer first mentality, and very responsive. Hoping it doesn't come to it, but if I ever need service, this plumbing service is at the top of my list. read more

Mainline sewer was overflowing in yard at our rental. A drain company tried to snake it and lost the head of their snake in the pipe, saying it was broken and needed to be replaced. Their bid was more than we could afford, and so I searched for another local company. Carlos has my endorsement as a licensed and insured plumber with experience, good crew, and integrity. He finished the job, left the yard in great shape, and got the permit signed by the inspector, all for $1500 less than the other guys. Tenants were pleased with their efficiency and work ethic. I am very satisfied with a job well done and a price I could afford without going into debt. Definitely a keeper! read more

Called Romeo today for an issue at my residence in Martinez and he was extremely quick, professional and was here in 16 minutes. He was able to diagnose the problem immediately and was even honest enough to tell me that the issue could be the cities fault! I admired that and his help to have tried to save me money by calling the city but I support honest work and was still glad to pay him his asking price because of this. After about 30 minutes my sewage line was clean and I was clog free. He graciously cleaned up all the unsightly mess that came from my sewage blockage and hose off the area as if nothing happened. For sure my go to plumber now! read more

Had 2 exceedingly slow bathtub drains. Called a called of companies and decided to go with Local Drain Specialist mostly based upon prior reviews. And, the fact they were willing to snake the drains on 3rd floor of a condo building - other companies declined to service based upon that fact.The time from scheduling to arrival was less than 2 hours. Carlos was awesome. He was personable in addition to being knowledgeable & experienced. He thoroughly snaked the drains and cleaned up in what I thought was record time: less than 1.5hrs. read more

We had a sewer main line clog and Jasmine came out to give us an estimate - he laid out the options for us with associated costs. We have a family friend plumber who we were also waiting on an opinion from so we told them we'd get back to them - our family friend confirmed that their estimates were fair and that the options they gave us were accurate. We had them come in the next day to clear the clog and to put in a main line clean out (old home). They were efficient, courteous, and patient with all of our questions. read more

Was looking for someone to clear a seemingly impossible drain clog issue, due to a contractor who remain nameless, and we got a hold of Carlos, based on good reviews here on yelp, and if I could give him 10 stars, I would. He was fast, communicated extremely well, and, his prices are very fair along with high-quality work. He was even able to put in a drain clean out that was previously screwed up by someone else. I would highly recommend his services. read more

Carlos, has become our go to plumber. He is awesome to work with and explains everything very well so that I understand why something is happening and what his recommendation is. He always recommends the proper way to fix an issue and not the quick way which will just cost more money down the road. We have had several big jobs performed for us and we were very happy with the work that was performed every time. Thank you! read more
