Red Wrench was amazing. I thought I'd have to remove my skirted toilet to replace a 12$ part which I already had but Sean took a component from the good component and fixed the broken part in the bowl. All this saved me time and money. I'd highly recommend! read more

Sean fixed my tankless water heater for a realistic price and corrected the issues made by previous plumbers. I then hired him to replace the old pipe from the water meter to the house. He did it in a creative fashion to avoid tearing up the driveway yet routing around my garage door. Again, extremely reasonable prices. read more

See all

Sean came to fix one of our leaky pipes in our bathroom and it was amazing! We originally had a 2pm appointment but had to switch it last minute and he was very able and willing to accommodate us! He not only fixed our leaky pipe in an incredibly quick time but installed our portable bidet for free. In addition, he even worked on installing an air gap for our dishwasher and replaced one of our cracked pipes for free. We paid a fair and reasonable price for all of these services and we're incredibly happy with all the repairs he did! The work was top notch and incredibly high quality, we'll definitely recommend Sean to any and all of our friends and family. We'll definitely be calling him again for any other plumbling related work we need done! 10/10 would recommend! read more

Sean is prompt, honest and does great work. He came over within 15 minutes after we called and said we smelled gas outside and it was Friday at 5 o'clock! He also removed our leaking water heater and replaced it with a tankless water heater. He was fast and removed the wooden cabinet around it and hauled it all off in a day. He is the only plumber I call and always feels fair, fast, and friendly. read more

Can't begin to say enough things about Sean. Beyond being responsive, thorough, and reasonably priced, he's an affable guy to have doing work. He's replaced our kitchen faucet, quickly trouble-shot a running toilet, replaced our entire bathroom sink, and fixed a leaky faucet. I should have used him for our water heater too, but I didn't know it was on the menu! Living in a 100+ year-old home means things are going to wear and break. A lot. I'm glad I've got Sean in my contacts list to call when the inevitable happens! read more

I wholeheartedly recommend Sean at Red Wrench Plumbing.  Sean has bailed me out several times.  I have a hundred year old house, with some of the imbedded original plumbing intact and hard to access.  When there is a problem with the old pipes, it's as though the cast iron dissolves into dust.  Sean consistently has a creative solution and always maintains a calm demeaner.  I've learned to not panic as Sean isn't going to leave me hanging and that he will get the job done in a timely manner.  Sean is the plumber that your plumber would call for advice on how to fix a thorny plumbing problem!  He's great! read more

Probably should drive better and with more kindness and courtesy if you're going to be in a company vehicle. I was at a 3-way intersection with a massive blind spot because of a moving truck that was blocking my view. I got there first but the driver of this company van not only decides to NOT let me go, but mean mugs me with entitlement as he passes by. Hmmmmm. Two stars instead of one because maybe he's having a bad day and I want to extend the benefit of the doubt. Not letting me go, fine. But staring me down. That was unnecessary and unprofessional. read more

In a world where finding reliable "fix it" people can feel like searching for hidden treasure, I am grateful to have stumbled upon the incredible services of Red Wrench Plumbing. Upon first encounter, it was clear that Sean was a straight shooter, honest, personable, and skilled. We had a interimittent leak under the sink. I was sure it was due to shotty work from a previous plumber. Sean assured me that the previous person did the best they could do with our weird situation, and that to truly fix it would be too big of a project. He was confident he could stop the leak for good though, and promised to come back later in the day. Sean returned when he said would, made quick work of the fix, and charged a fair price. He even let me awkwardly linger so that I could learn some tricks of the trade. What more can you ask for? read more

Fantastic local plumber with clear communication and reasonable prices. Sean installed our new faucet and proactively identified and solved problems with a rusty pipe that nobody else had found, saving us from a serious potential leak in the future. Highly recommended, and a reminder of why actual plumbers (instead of random taskrabbit fix-it folks) are awesome. read more

At first I thought the Red Wrench might be a medieval Scottish warlord, or an extra on Game of Thrones. Instead, he is a great plumber! I had a pretty tricky situation and he worked hard to diagnose the issue, then he and his team quickly and efficiently fixed the problem. His price was quite fair, and best of all he's just a great guy - personable and brings some humor to his work. Also - he responded to my initial call right away and was able to get to my place fairly quickly. He was also able to both diagnose and fix the tricky problem, all on the same day. Strongly recommend the Red Wrench! read more

He's the best and most reasonable plumber in sf. I'm not sure how someone determined the smugness or whatever but he is no nonsense and effective. Look at the reviews of people who have actually worked with him. read more

I had and issue with drainage pipe leakage on a rainy day. Sean get back to me quickly and came to check the issue on the same day. There was a difficulty to access to the problematic pipe, but he could find a solution and fixed the issue before another storm. I really appreciated and recommend to contact him if you have the similar issue. read more

Overdue review from when he replaced our water heater last year. Did a great job, efficient and prompt. Still working great. Just called him to see if he could fix sewer backup although thought it was not likely He texted back to call 311 and have the city come out and fix it. The other plumbing company I called as well did not mention this option. Super appreciate the info. In fact the city did come out and fixed the issue and Sean saved me a lot of money and hassle. Thank you! read more

One of the best plumbing service that I have ever dealt with through the years. Sean is knowledgeable, professional, and quickly identifies the problem. He responds promptly to your call and the price for his services is fair. I have used him for at least 5-10 years and he is my number one contact. Gail S. read more

Sean and his assistant responded almost immediately to my home. There was a small problem, which was taken care of promptly. I felt his charges were reasonable. I will definitely use Sean for any future plumbing needs. read more

I have used Red Wrench Plumbing several times over the past year or so for both plumbing and gas/heating issues. They are always fast to respond, they turn up on time and they do a great job at at great price. I would definitely recommend them. read more

Sean and Louis were awesome. Great communication, on time, careful & easily fix my plumbing problem. Definitely good guys you want to have in your home. read more

We hired Sean to install an earthquake shut-off valve for our gas line. I've been looking for a go to plumber for a while. We got a number of quotes. His was right in there. He works fast, does good work, returns calls, shows up when he says, cleans up and is a nice guy, easy to work with. Bonus points for living in the neighborhood. Our new go-to. read more

Sean quickly responded to my request for a quote involving a water heater replacement. Although we didn't up going with him, his quote was competitive and he was honest and professional. read more

Update: Great news from the owner! He indeed does diagnosis and repairs. That's great because I've seen so many positive recommendations on neighborhood listservs for Red Wrench! Just FYI. when I called the other day for help with a drain and a separate leak, the person answering said the the plumber does ONLY installations and NO REPAIRS, no diagnosis of problems, no snaking. read more

Excellent service and work. Sean was able to come within a few hours of our call, sorted out the problem and had all of the materials and tools with him. This is the third time we've worked with him, and all of the work has been great and done for a fair price. read more

EDIT: Sean reached out to me right after this negative review and asked for me to make it more positive since he'd been out of town. I'd expect to have gotten a text or email in response to one of mine to that effect. Something like "still working on your quote, I'll respond when I'm back from vacation" would have been all I wanted. I was looking for proactive, clear communication from someone installing my new wall toilet, and I got none of that from Sean. Can't comment on his work itself, just on his communication. Original review: It's been a week and a half and not a peep from Sean on a quote for a wall toilet install after he came and visited to see the place. I've tried texting, calling, and texting without any answer. Guess I'll go with someone more professional! read more

I highly recommend Sean and his team for all plumbing needs. He can do it all- from highly complex and he is perfectly happy to do simple jobs, too. For me all I needed was a kitchen faucet install- pretty basic job but i didn't want to trust it to a handyman. My last faucet that he put in for me lasted for 19 years ! He always provides fast service at a great price and his customer service can't be beat. read more

I am deliriously happy!! I called Sean to fix my shower and put a new faucet in my bathroom sink. I have a new set up in the shower and have hot water in the sink again. He also solved my problem with the kitchen sink that had a leak and the sink brackets rotted out. All plumbing problems solved within 6 hours. My only regret is that I did not call him sooner!! So easy to deal with and Luis, who came to help was great! read more

We've had a number of plumbing work completed on our home during the last few years, including water heater upgrades, sinks and disposal installation, toilet installations and repairs, and Sean has a provided impeccable service each time. He's thorough, expedient, pleasant, and incredibly good at his job - and his responsiveness is by far the best of any tradesman we've worked with in the city. We'll be hiring Sean to do any future plumbing work in our home. Reasonable, fair prices for the absolute top-notch quality of work, too. Again, can't recommend his services enough. read more

Sean of Red Wrench came out the day after I called and took care of my bathroom faucets (one dripped, one barely ran) in minutes. He explained what was going on without my having to ask. I was also having trouble with water pressure, which he diagnosed. (No, I didn't need repiping. Whew.) It was a small issue but I'll call him the next time I need plumbing work. He was knowledgeable and practical -- and genuinely interested in helping me. read more

Experienced local plumber! Fair pricing. Sean arrived on time, took a look at the issue, got a part, and fixed the pipe under my kitchen sink. Fast, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. I will use Red Wrench Plumbing again and recommend them unreservedly. read more

I hired Sean to replace my tankless water heater. Not only did he do an excellent job with the replacement, but he took a few minutes to answer my questions and familiarize me with the new system. The job was done in a timely way and he left the job site clean and free of debris. The price was fair and included the tankless water heater. I highly recommend Red Wrench for your plumbing needs. read more

Sean has just finished another great job for me. I called him to see if he could re-do some old and odd plumbing that was in the way of an upcoming renovation. Other plumbers I contacted seemed baffled by it, but Sean came up with a sound solution and an elegant result. He does top-shelf work, and is a real pleasure to work with. Always prompt, easy to communicate with, and I feel so lucky to have made his acquaintance. His pricing is fair, and he is very straight-forward. He really knows his business, and he is now the guy I would certainly turn to for any major work . I highly recommend him! read more

Friendly, responsive and great work. Would recommend this plumber. Very direct with their plan of action.

My kitchen faucet needed to be replaced & the connection to the dishwasher unclogged. Sean had an opening so he came & completed the job the same day. Professional read more

Sean came to our rescue when our ancient water heater broke. The replacement parts we needed where very hard to find but Red Wrench never gave up until the job was done. Sean also gave us great feedback on our upcoming bathroom remodeling plans and water saving issues. Thank you!!! read more

Sean came over to give an estimate on replacing the bathroom faucet. Since his price seemed fair, we decided to have him do the work right then and there. I was very pleased with the results!

We have used Red Wrench for several years, and have always loved Sean's work. He responds quickly, does beautiful work, and stands by the job. Everything from smaller jobs (like a persistently running toilet), to repairing a sewage pipe, the work is expertly done and holds up to time. As long time clients, we can say this is not a one-time event, but a consistent pattern of excellence! Also, during COVID-19, we were delighted to see him arrive in a mask and take safety extremely seriously. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Sean. I first hired him to replace a tankless water heater. Sean was very communicative and responsive, he showed up on time to review the job in order to provide an estimate, provided an estimate in a timely manner, was clear in setting expectations regarding the work that would need to be done, and finished the job on time. I had a very positive experience and recently hired him again to repair a running toilet. Sean is an expert and works quickly and efficiently. He also charges fair prices. Sean is also just a really nice guy. I'd recommend him to anyone for plumbing needs large and small! read more

I had installed a new faucet I'm my kitchen only to get a dribble of water out. After calling Red Wrench they walked me through the process they would use to ensure a clean line over the phone. But I still had a dribble if water. A little research later and they knew my faucet had two points were debris can clog the line. I was able to clear the line and some my problem in 10 min. Without the plumber visiting. This kind of great customer service is why Red Wrench plumbing is so fantastic. Small thing,. They can help out do it for you. Big thing, they will make sure you don't start something you shouldn't, and are there to get it done right. read more

Has helped numerous times with faucets, toilets, garbage disposals - a pleasure to work with, quality work!

Had a toilet that wouldn't stop running. Sean came by in an hour and diagnosed the issue. Came back later with the part that was needed and fixed it quickly. Good communication, good work, and reasonable price. Thank you read more

If you need great plumbing service for a reasonable price, this is the place to go. Amazing experience! Dealing with plumbing issues is really stressful, but Sean made everything go smoothly and fast. He was extremely punctual, knowledgeable, professional, and friendly. He worked efficiently while keeping polite conversation, and he was very nice to explain any doubts I had. He fixed a leak under the kitchen sink and replaced my old faucet for a new one, while maintaining the integrity of the kitchen counter and the old faucet (he was very careful about removing it and properly storing its pieces). He was very thorough and made sure everything was working perfectly before leaving. I'm extremely happy with this experience and I'm so glad to have a great plumber in the city. I cannot recommend him highly enough. read more
