The giant trench filled in. We planted a small garden this fall!
Geneva L.

My dad has the cutest phrases. When something breaks at home, which it invariably does as my dad has always loved old houses with "character," he says "happy homeowner!" We had been plagued with city septic back ups from early days of moving into this 60 year old home. Lots of character here! In all the years, all the places (cities and rural) we had never had so many issues with our septic line. We spent several thousand dollars with the company ending in "less" with all their trucks over Sacramento the past few years. Every time we had a backup guys came over with cameras and clean outs (and these were the guys who told us the septic passed inspection even though they found a coke bottle as as a stopper where the home line met the city line?! They coincidentally gave us bids for a new septic line that was out of budget, with tiers of pricing from 8 -16 k. Speaking of the city, they came out and told us there was a blockage potentially on their end that they would fix if confirmed, but we would need to hire someone to dig a deep line to the city pipes. We waited a few months, trying to weigh our options and asked a few people we know who would dig such a big trench, and then the emergency hit. I was about ready to flip out after a large birthday party for my dad at home was almost ruined by our septic issues. We asked my aunt for a recommendation, she gave us Rooney's name. She has a 100 year old house that they worked on and installed a new line that has worked flawlessly. We called the next day and Kevin Rooney and his team of two workers came over and began to look things over. Sure enough he identified an issue with the city line and confirmed that we would need to have a trench dug from our property to the city line. And, the line was in the complete opposite direction than the city workers had told us where it was. Imagine if we had hired someone unqualified to do it. They started digging that day, long and thankless work and attacked it with gusto. By day two or three (sorry, I've blocked most of this out) the trench was dug , at some point Rooney's put in a new line at our portion and the city needed to do their work. We needed to have the gas company and city come out to coordinate. Because the city had "lost track" of our project, and called to come over three weeks later on a Friday morning when we were in San Francisco for the day, there was a delay in the city's work but thankfully it was finally completed. Apparently the city portion had a terra cotta pipe that was infiltrated with roots and the diameter of the city clean out line did not match their current equipment. I'm guessing our septic line hadn't been cleaned out by the city properly for a loooong time. Im guessing we were not the the only homeowners in a row at this property who were shelling out on the regular for short term limited septic clean outs that could never work long term. Mr. Rooney's team came back and filled in all the line, made sure everything was shipshape, and even sowed grass seed over the dirt which filled in beautifully. Has worked perfectly ever since. Despite my disgust at the City of Sacramento septic division, I am so grateful for the stellar work, fair pricing, and timely, professional job completion of this plumbing company. I am not constantly in terror roaming to the backyard trying to see if there is a wad of toilet paper by my rose bush (now we know why it grew so fast haha!) We have come across so many scam artists in the trades in Sacramento since moving here six years ago and unfortunately we are really leery. It's a huge relief for a contractor's word to be solid and stand behind their work, as well as complete the work to excellence. Since the septic issue, we've had them come over to install a new garbage disposal and kitchen sink. Both installs went great. Highly recommend!

The management company for my apartment hired this company to fix a busted P-Trap pipe on my up stairs shower that was leaking water onto the closet ceiling below. The plumber worked on the leak during the morning while I was at work. When I got home that evening I discovered the they had use my $200 cooking pots to catch water and left them dirty in my sink for me to wash. They also filled my recycling bin with the water damaged sheetrock and left it for me to take out. Not to mention after fixing/replacing the pipe it still had a slow leak which they had to come out the next day for, so they didn't even do the job right the first time. I can't believe this company thought all of this was acceptable things to do. A bucket from Home Depot costs $5 and is lighter and holds more water than either of my cooking pots. A year supply of garbage bags cost $15. There's is no excuse for them to come out to a job unprepared outside of laziness. Apparently this is the plumbing company Neilsen Property Management likes to use the most so if you happen to live in one of their apartment complexes you might want to make it clear on your service request that they do not have your permission to use your property to complete the job. Very unprofessional company. Avoid using them if you can and if you can not, don't let them work on your plumbing unsupervised.

These guys are a bunch of hacks. Sent two people out who didn't know what they were doing. Then they charged me $700 for a $50 faucet.

If you're looking for a company you can truly trust, I can't recommend Water Heater Pros enough!…read more From the owner to the office staff and the installation technician, every person we interacted with was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about making sure we understood the entire process. They took the time to answer all of our questions, explain our options, and guide us every step of the way. Not only was their customer service exceptional, but they also beat their competitors' pricing and saved us nearly $2,000 without sacrificing quality. During the installation, they were respectful of our home, worked safely around our family, and made us feel completely comfortable having them in our house. Your home is one of your most important investments, and finding people you can trust to help keep it safe is invaluable. Water Heater Pros exceeded our expectations in every way. They replaced our water heater efficiently, left everything clean, and continued to provide excellent customer service even after the job was complete. As an educator and someone who is actively involved in my community, I truly value honesty, integrity, and businesses that put people first. Water Heater Pros genuinely cares about their customers from the first phone call through the installation--and beyond. We will absolutely be calling them again for any future plumbing or water heater needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Water Heater Pros to anyone looking for outstanding service, fair pricing, and a company that truly stands behind its work!

It wasn't under warranty for parts and labor, but it is to replace the entire unit (something that Water Heater Pros doesn't manufacture and just installs). I am grateful for the return and honesty about cost and timeframe. Matt was so professional and kind. Marsha is secretary and was ready to get me an appointment ASAP. I recommend this company!

I'm a serious DIY person--I almost never hire anyone because I usually feel like I can do the work myself (and often better). But every now and then, I run into a project that's beyond my skill set. When that happens, I'm looking for someone who is not just capable, but who cares about the work as much as I do. That's exactly what I found with Charles at Pocket Plumbing. From the very first job, I knew I had found my "forever plumber." He's skilled, honest, and takes real pride in getting things right. What really sets them apart is their integrity. Between my projects and my family's, we've had a couple of situations where subcontracted work didn't turn out perfectly. As soon as Charles was made aware, he personally stepped in and made everything right--no hassle, no excuses, and no additional charge. That level of accountability is rare. Today, his assistant Dave helped me on a project and was equally professional and knowledgeable. I was so impressed that I immediately recommended him to another contractor who happened to be on-site. If you're looking for a plumbing company that delivers high-quality work, stands behind it, and genuinely cares about their customers, Pocket Plumbing is the one.

I've recently had my sewer line replaced by Honest Sewer and Drain, who I've been a customer of…read moresince 2023. I live in an older home (1950s-1960s) so clogged pipes are a problem and they've always done a great job on them. I also appreciated that they've made good suggestions when I've mentioned the cost of upgrading my plumbing and offered me options that made the cost more within reach. For the last call, a regular cleaning could have caused damage to the sewer line which was breaking and was full of roots, so they water-flushed the blockage instead to get the water moving and I realized, it was time to replace the sewer line before it was too late. I received a discount as a repeat customer. The whole process took less than two days. Mike and Anatoliy came out to do the work. They covered the ground with tarps to minimize cleanup later, digging was a few feet deep but confined to the location of the line, narrow to the point that they saved a favorite rose bush that I was supposed to dig out. I appreciated seeing part of the removal process and the explanation of the original sewer material, how it was installed and how that eventually led to the wear. The work on day one didn't take that long and the pipe was installed and the cleanouts were upgraded to current standards. They handled the permit and scheduling for the inspection and it was passed by late morning so that Mike could. complete the work. The whole removal and installation hardly interrupted my water use. Thank you for the quality work, your professionalism and personal customer service.

The first plumber couldn't get through & told me we'd need to bust out my brand new patio! Dustin came later that day, and not only cleared through the root clog, but accurately isolated the problem to an area that would not disturb my hardscape. Anatoly came the next day and, with a very sunny disposition and only a shovel and a tarp, I watched him magically dig a six ft deep hole to access the problem in no time at all. I still can't figure out how he wasn't even dirty or sweaty. The two of these guys knocked out the job, filled the hole and tidied up, spic and span, just in time for a big party at my house!! I also really appreciated NO funny stuff ~ no upsale, no club to join, just the price I was quoted (with a first time customer discount). THANK YOU HONEST S&D!! I will not hesitate to call you again. -dianne in Tahoe/Tallac
