My kitchen sink was leaking as the strainer body and the pvc trap had come apart. Contacted this plumbing service thru yelp and the response was within 5 min. Tai came to our address within an hr's time and fixed the issue quickly and did a neat job. I am giving1 less star as they are expensive even for a simple job work. read more

5:00 am visit to the bathroom turned into a dip into lake Titi- CACA. Called these guys and they were able to come out a few hours later. David was awesome, he worked so hard to clear the clog and was also very informative as to what his process was to resolve the problem . We had two backed up bath tubs and two overflowing and leaking toilets. It took several hours, two snakes and a jetter(sp) to clear the mess, but my goodness were we grateful. Overall, these people were great and so was their service and pricing. I hope to never need these services again, but if so, I highly recommend this company. 5 star review well deserved and earned. Thanks guys, you really saved us today! read more

Local Rooter came out today on short notice and was able to help us identify the problem quickly. Prompt and very professional, they cleared out the sewage line and set us up with additional help to clean and sanitize under the house. I appreciated the clear and timely communication throughout, it made a very stressful situation much easier to manage. I would definitely recommend them. read more

I had my sewer cleaned by another company, but I lost the name. So I picked this company based on the Yelp reviews. And it didn't disappoint. Treiu came out per the requested time, and whereas the previous company unclogged and left, he took the time to explain some things and had me turn on all the water to make sure it still wasn't plugged. I'll definitely use them again if needed. read more

My shower drain was completely clogged this morning. Called Local Rooter & Plumbing at 10:30AM and they actually answered on a Sunday morning. They are really open 24/7. The appointment was for 12-2pm and Duy came right at noon sharp. He snaked the drain and was done in less than 30 minutes. He was courteous and took off his shoes in the house (asian household). Duy also inspected the pipes in our crawl space to make sure everything else was ok and gave us some maintenance tips. Can't recommend them enough. read more

They are doing really good job. I expected that it will take several days to fix the water main pipe which was broken suddenly. They came up in a couple of hours after the request, and finished to replace the pipe in one day, which is unexpectedly great! The price was more expensive than expected but provably it was the reasonable market price for this kind of big job. It was worth to pay. read more

What can I say about these guys, especially Trieu (our plumber). They saved our day after we had a clog in our main line in the early evening. He was thorough, patient and easy to work with on helping us to get the line cleared. He explained things and was knowledgeable on the work that needed to be done. What was especially awesome was how freaking clean and organized he kept his truck! We've all had a plumber, electrician, etc. come out with a crazy disorganized truck that they spend a long time looking for that one tool! Not Trieu, he was very efficient with what he was doing cause he wasn't wasting time to look for that one thing. They are on our contacts list of people to work with again!! At the end of the day pricing was fair, going above and beyond what any roto-rooter type of company would do and they are a small local family business!! So happy to have found them!! I'd recommend them with no hesitation. Thanks guys for your work!! read more

Tony was extremely responsive and prompt when it came to our "emergency". We had a main line backup and Tony showed up on a weekend within a couple of hours. The issue turned out to be larger than we thought and it ended up being a week-long project. Tony and his team worked through the 40 degree rain during a holiday weekend to make sure they completed everything on time. I've worked with plumbers in the past who would've definitely taken the day off due to weather. Not Tony's team...they set up pop-ups and pushed through. Another bonus was their 1 year warranty on all repair work. I highly recommend Local Rooter and would use them again in a heartbeat. read more

We run a restaurant in the Pruneyard (Clean Juice). We came in this morning to find a backed up main drain and couldn't open the store. Alex arrived promptly, then located and fixed the issue. Our problem was fixed in a little over an hour from when we called. Great job! read more

So I am updating this review because after seeing the details of my dissatisfaction Duy showed up at my office trying to redeem himself. He was the first one to walk in the door this morning. He apologized that the guy he sent or referred us to was not with his company and he didn't know the guy decided not to show up. He was extremely apologetic and did the repair at no cost to us in order to make up for the inconvenience. He also guaranteed it for a year on top of everything! It takes a big person who really cares about his business to show up like that and try to make it right. I would definitely be calling him for any of my future commercial and home plumbing needs! Thanks Duy you are a great businessman!! GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! read more

Great company, Great service !! I called on Saturday morning early , and they came to help very soon. I do appreciate with this. Johnny is very professional and helpful , kind with patience, fixed well. will keep this company in service list ! read more

Isaac was awesome, very professional, friendly and fast. I highly recommend them for your next job!!

We needed hydrojetting to clear build up under kitchen sink. They showed up just before Thanksgiving break and cleared it all within few minutes. Also gave us advice on how to avoid this in future. Very professional and helpful overall. read more

Glad I read the reviews on yelp This company was awesome Responded quickly in one hour after calling in about my shower drain was clogged Miles was the person who did the job He did a thorough job snaking the drain numerous time making sure the drain was totally clear He cleaned up the mess in the shower I was totally satisfied and would call again if I had a plumbing problem read more

We had a leak from the ceiling in our garage. My wife found this Plumbing company through Yelp. I called and Tai showed up within an hour! I had called two other 5-star rated companies the other days but they were either busy and one never returned my call. Tai was courteous and straight forward. After assessing the leak, he showed me the cause of the problem and gave me a reasonable quote. He fixed the problem and finished the job within a few hours including replacing the ceiling with new sheetrock. I was very pleased with Tai. He was very conscientious about his work but most of all I felt he was honest and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend this family-operated company. Thank you Tai, Great job! Jason & Mary read more

We had the toilet and bathtub overflow. Called these guys at 10 30 pm and the gentleman sent someone out in an hour. Pretty impressed with the knowledge of the plumber that came out. Fixed the problem in an hour and gave us a thirty day warranty. Their pricing is pretty decent as well. Very impressed by the work the guy did and he was very pleasant as well. Definitely recommend! read more

Yelp said 100% response rate and 10 min response time but I messaged this company twice (in 3 days) and never heard back

Came home from work today to a clogged sewer!!! Called around to several places, described what was going on and received quotes from multiple places. Local Rooter & Plumbing was the last call before I had to set an appointment for the next day to get decent price. But once Duey gave me a quote that didn't change by business hours, I was able to have him and his partners come today and clear up the sewer!! I didn't have to wait until the next day, lowest price, cleared sewer, put a camera down the sewer pipe without extra charge and gave me other tips. They were a very friendly and professional crew. I highly recommend their services to everyone looking for a great professional plumber who you can trust. Thank you guys for helping me out, truly appreciate the service!!! read more

Came on short notice. 5 star customer service. Would recommend to anyone that needs their kitchen sink to work again from clogs.

Thai ("Vo" on his t-shirt) and Thanh were amaaaaazing...! I had them come down because both toilets and showers were clogged due to a poor design a previous plumber did to my house. Not only did they clean out my drains, but they also replaced my old piping system with a new and more innovative design. It was truly fascinating. Even better, the replacement parts come with a 90 day warranty. I told them my price range and what I wanted done. They were extremely flexible with me and worked with my budget. I've had at least 4 different plumbers come to my house to do done fixing and I was surprised that these guys were very knowledgeable and confident in what they do. They made me feel at ease when I was stressed out. Awesome guys! Definitely calling them from now on with all my plumbing issues. Ask for Thai and Thanh! read more

I found my water heater pipe leaking at 11pm on a Friday night and they were the only 24 hour plumber that answered their phone. He showed up in less than 30 minutes as promised and fixed the problem in a half hour. Duy is a very nice, professional and took the time to explain to me about the different water heater parts. I will call him again when it's time to replace the water heater. read more

Outstanding response and professional, high-quality service from Duy Nguyen and his team to our plumbing emergency is reason #1 for my 5-star rating on Local Rooter & Plumbing. Turns out our plumbing emergency was the result of shoddy work done by our regular plumber. Apparently, shoddy work will indeed cause pipes to burst and extensive water damage. Who knew? Not our previous plumbers.. Which brings me to reason #2 for the 5-star review. The team at Local Rooter & Plumbing not only fixed the plumbing emergency, but also provided an excellent, low-cost fix to the other plumber's botched job. Needless to say, Local Rooter & Plumbing are our new plumbers. Well worth the 5-star review! read more

Called with a blocked mainline in the home during the weekend. Got a prompt response. Price and time were communicated clearly. The plumber came ahead of appointment time by a few minutes, rechecked if the situation was assessed correctly, restated the process and price before getting started. Overall, very satisfied with the service read more

Addressed my shower leak issue on first visit at a fair price. Had available parts in van to make for a quick repair. Provided lots of feedback/thoughts on the repair, how it could have happened, how it can be prevented in future, and other useful information. read more

Very good service. Especially from their feild manager Duy Nguyen. Would definitely recommend and use their services in the future

Got a toilet backed up and in need of a plumber urgently. Found Local Rooter & Plumbing on yelp and gave them a call. Despite his busy schedule, Duy was at my house in 1 hour. He was friendly and professional. He was very good at his job and took care of the problem in no time. He was also very knowledgeable in general plumbing as I had a few other issues in the house and he was quick in providing the root cause and available solutions. Since his schedule was very packed and I did not book time for the additional items, I will be making an appointment with him to come back to work on the other items. Overall, a very pleasant experience. read more

Duy is very reliable. Our outdoor water pipe broke at Sunday evening. I called him and he came to my place. He diagnosed it and advised us to wait his work next day so that we didn't have to pay extra cost. He came back to work next morning and finished it as he promised. I will ask him again when we have water problem in the future. read more

Duey was awesome. I was away for work in another city while major plumbing issues were going on at the home front. At 12:30 in the morning, Duey made it out to my house, handled the problem and had everything up and running again in a matter of a half an hour. He was professional, courteous and even texted me photos of the issue and the what was causing the problem. He also offered helpful solutions to future problems. I highly recommend Local Rooter & Plumbing and would give 10 stars, if possible! read more

Short version: Call these guys. Trieu called to tell me he was running late and offered to wait for me if I needed to go out. He got here before his adjusted time and when it turned out that no work was needed he smiled and said "I didn't really do anything so no charge." In case it helps someone out there dealing with a water heater pilot light - you have to get really low to the ground and look up into the heater on my model to see the pilot. Yep I know it's a bad pun but Pilot Error. read more

I got a problem at home that sewage-alike smell came out from AC/Furnace vent. I called my regular plumber who has no idea what happened. So I searched up Yelp and found Local Rooter & Plumbing and decided to have a try. Duy picked up the call immediately and agreed to send technician the same day. Paul showed up earlier than scheduled and he was so great! He carefully checked house and diagnosed the problem. And talked to me about why it happened. I did what he told and waiting for two days and now the odor seems gone! So appreciated! I will ask Local Rooter & Plumber for all future plumbing work! read more

Great team and on schedule. They asked if urgent and work around the clock. 1st day 4:00pm to 9:00pm, next day come double check the leaking and patched the holes. Thank you Tony, Kim and John.. Team with heart and hard working. read more

See all

I came back to SJ to visit family from NYC and was staying at my cousin's house. It was late at night, probably around 11:30 PM when sink stopped working and my toilet as well. I didn't know how to fix it myself and was looking for a plumbing service that was open late at night. I ran across these guys on Yelp and decided to give a call. They came at the time they said they would (about 30 minutes) and went straight to work. I have to say, these guys are very professional, knowledgable, and friendly. In less than an hour my problem was fixed and they even told me the reason why I had my problem as well as giving me advice and suggestions for future issues. Honestly, I have nothing bad to say about these guys. I would definitely recommend to my friends or anyone else. Thank you so much! read more

We had and quick response from Duy Nguyen, who was very efficient, reliable and very professional! Coming home Saturday night, we find that the water heater leaking (thank goodness it just seem to have just started) in the garage. We panicked because Sundays businesses are usually closed, but luckily YELP has a button that allows you to find business that are open. After reading through all the possible plumbers we came up with our top three, to make the long story short...Duy was the fastest responder, gave quick information and the most reasonable estimate (final price)!!! He was able to replace, and fix the new heater the next moring...YEAH we have hot water!! If I have plumbing problem again...Local Rooter & Plumbing is who I'll get!!! read more

Excellent and honest service. Discovered the water main line was leaking after receiving a huge water bill. It was a Sunday when we called around for someone to come and give a quote but no one had any availability. After a quick phone call, I texted Duy our address and he came at the promised time that day! Gave us a reasonable fair quote and started that day! It was a pretty big job and included getting a city permit and inspection but everything was handled by them. They even filed a fee credit application with the city to help get back the charges caused by the leak. Hopefully I won't have to call them for anything else, but if for some reason I have a plumbing issue Duy will be my first call. read more

Our kitchen sink clogged on Sunday so we jumped on Yelp to get somebody out to fix it. These guys not only responded right away, but sent someone out within a hour or two. The price was super reasonable and Myles was great. These will be our go-to guys from now on. read more

Had a recurring issue with clogged drain. It finally became an issue that needed to be remedied by professional intervention. Loi came out yesterday and identified the issue. He gave me the remedy and a reasonable quote. He saw our urgency and took time from his Sunday to come back and replace the old galvanized pipes. He and his team member were quick, clean, and very professional. I recommend them and am going to use them again. read more

We had a busted garbage disposal and needed it fixed quickly for our tenants. Skyler at Local Rooter came out and evaluated what needed to be done, and was able to fix the problem in the same visit within a few hours. After a few weeks, all still seems to be working great. We're glad to find a new plumbing contact in the area! read more

We had a plumbing emergency on Memorial weekend. A huge clog in our main line. Duy responded immediately and came through the very next morning. I spoke to at least five other companies and they estimated 2 to 3 days out. He is very knowledgeable and figured out a way to help with a tricky situation. He got the job done fast and efficiently, cleaned up everything, and pricing was very fair. Thank you Duy! read more

Tai was the technician and he did a great job. He made it look easy for a reasonable price.

[My first Yelp review.] I urgently needed a plumber, so I hopped on Yelp. I searched for "Plumbing", sorted by "Highest Rated." After reading many positive reviews for "Local Rooter & Plumbing", we called them and hoped for the best. Well, we *got* the best...Skyler! This guy rocked. First, he was at our home fast (15-20 min.) at 8:00p at night. Our issue: We had a back up in the shower the previous day, which Drano and hot water solved. However, the very next day our washing machine drain over-flowed in the garage, and water was also backing-up into our kitchen sink. When Skyler arrived, he called us outside to our main sewer clean-out near our curb to give us some sewer education. He said, "Before I open the clean-out cap, one of two things will happen. First, if water over-flows as I open the cap, this is a 'City' issue. It will be the City's responsibility of fix your problem, at no cost to you. Second, if no water over-flows after opening the cap, then the problem lies within your home." Without knowing this information, how many other companies might milk this problem if it was indeed a 'City' issue? Not Local Rooter. Skyler was completely upfront and honest. When he lifted the cap, no water appeared. Therefore, the blockage was somewhere within the sewer lines of our home. Next, we walked toward the house, outside the kitchen window nearest to the sink. That's where the front-of-the-house 'clean-out' is located at most homes. This sewer line runs through the stucco wall of your home, and is capped outside the house. Unfortunately, for us, we had our house re-stucco'd a few years back, and the contractor dropped stucco cement on the clean-out cap! This effectively cemented the cap to the wall of our home. Did this stop Skyler? Not at all. Skyler patiently, chipped away at the cement until he was able to loosen the cap with a *lot* of leverage and one gigantic plumbing wrench. Skyler never complained. Unbelievable. He just got down to business. Next, he snaked our sewer line, all the way back to the last toilet. When he was done, he didn't leave. He asked us to run a "Quick" cycle on our washing machine, just to make sure the sewer line was clear. He patiently waited until the washing machine 'drain' cycle began, 10 minutes later. There was no more flooding. He asked us to run the kitchen sink on full-blast, as well. There was no water back-up. Our problem was completely solved, yet Skyler continued to amaze us. Instead of simply re-attaching the (previously) stucco-cemented cap, Skyler completely scrubbed and cleaned the cap. He then applied 'plumbers tape' to the threads of the cap before re-attaching it to the wall of our home. This will make the cap water-proof as well as easier to remove in the future. Our job came with a warranty, at a *very* fair price. We cannot say enough about the professionalism of Skyler and his total dedication to our job. Skyler is a hard working, non complaining, get-the-job-done *correctly* type of guy that any company would be lucky to have representing them. If you need plumbing or sewer work at your home, call Local Rooter & Plumbing...and ask for Skyler! read more
