Giovanni was absolutely amazing! My kitchen drain stopped working and my sink was completely clogged. What I thought would be a small, quick fix ended up turning into a much bigger project, but Giovanni was incredibly patient, thorough, and committed to getting the job done right. He took his time, never made me feel rushed, and genuinely cared about finding a solution. On top of being extremely knowledgeable and honest, he's also hilarious, he had me laughing throughout the whole process! I highly recommend Giovanni to anyone who needs plumbing work. It's hard to find someone who is honest, reliable, patient, and genuinely takes pride in their work. If you have any plumbing issues, call Giovanni, you won't regret it! read more

San Jose Drain and Main - He even helped us clean up after. Thank you! - Plumbing Near Me - San Jose, California

Giovani picked up my call, quoted me before arrival and fixed my clogged drain in under 15 mins. Excellent response time and arrived to the property on time. Lowest price after calling other services in the area. Will keep number for future use! read more

Showed up on time and very professional. The 5 stars reviews aren't fake. Service and price was 5 stars.

Giovanni is friendly and cared about completing each job with high quality. He clearly explains his plan for how to address the issue so you're aware of what will be done. He has completed multiple projects - one was fixing sink + shower + toilet issues, another was installing a water softener, and a third was solving a complicated backyard sprinkler piping issue. Would highly recommend! read more

Super awesome service! We have 3 shower drains snake done since one of them was giving us issues. Fast response, easy to make appointment, reasonable cost, great communication and after service follow up. Highly recommend to future services read more

Absolutely fabulous experience. Giovani responded immediately to my inquiry, asked for photos or a video to help diagnose what was wrong with my garbage disposal, and then set up time to come install a new one NEXT DAY. He was communicative and overall just a friendly guy who was in and out super quick while doing a great job and leaving everything clean. Definitely happy I went with San Jose Drain and Main based on other Yelp reviews. read more

Giovani is simply the best! He knows his work and does not charge you an arm and a leg. He is responsive, honest and punctual. I really appreciate how he explains the problem in layman terms so that I fully understand the issue. This is a special shout out for the awesome work he did a few years ago, which is long over due.... I wanted to get a bidet installed and had a special request which was for it to be connected from the sink vanity so that I can have hot and cold functionality. Giovani listened to my idea and quoted me a reasonable price to do the work. I was very particular about being able to check if there might be a leak in the future since the connection was coming through a wall.. and also bidets are known to start leaking. Giovani came up with a brilliant idea of not sealing the cover plate which allowed me to check between the wall for any leaks. It's been more than 4 years since he installed this and there are no leaks. Just goes to show he knows his craft well. He also replaced toilets and fixed some leaks around the house. Giovani is my go to person for any plumbing projects/repairs. read more

Wanted to share my recent experiences. Why choose San Jose Drain and Main: There are a number of highly rated plumbers. I prefer to have someone who is local. What I liked reading in the reviews for services like this are a combination of folks feeling like they got quality work done at a reasonable price with good communication. That seemed to be the case. It was definitely the experience I had which is why I am giving them a great review. Communication: I really appreciate folks embracing platforms such as Yelp to communicate. This was a good experience. This is a small business so I am not expecting instantaneous responses. They came regularly and were informative The Work: They did a great job. I am not an expert but feel that their quality of work was higher than was was there originally. It feels like its built to last and I won't have future problems. They cleaned up nicely. The Price: I felt like this was a fair price for the job. Once the work was done, I feel like I got an even better value for the quality of work that they did. read more

Where do I start to describe perfect service? I called Giovanni and received a prompt call back. My mother's house needed several plumbing repairs. Giovanni came out the next day and took care of everything for a very reasonable price. What a pleasure to do business with such a professional. read more

We had an issue with a clog in our bathroom sink and San Jose Drain and Main came to the rescue yet again. Edwin arrived within the time window provided and was very knowledgeable and helpful - he walked us through his thought process and was able to diagnose the problem and resolve it very quickly after arriving. Other companies wanted to do extra work that would have cost us $$$$, but Giovani offers his services at great prices for honest work. Edwin was courteous, friendly, and left us feeling at ease. Thank you again! read more

I received a quote from San Jose Drain and Main via the Yelp app. They were by far the most reasonable estimate. They gave me a two hour window for service. Their plumber, Edwin arrived within the two hour window as promised. He replaced my hot and cold faucets for my washing machine as requested. Edwin was very professional, courteous and personable. I would definitely use this business again. I highly recommend them. read more

We were having trouble with our toilet for a couple days already because of what turned out to be a deep down in there kinda clog. My husband was communicating with Giovani and it was already getting late so I didn't think he'd be able to make it out that night, but thankfully he did! We were his last job, but he was still determined to get the toilet working again. He tried a few different ways and finally(!) was able to locate the clog and snake it out. The snake was already close to its end, but he did not give up. We're so grateful for his expertise and are delighted to find a professional we can call whenever we need him :) thank you!!!! read more

Professional, skilled, diligent and high quality. After installing a replacement kitchen disposal, he observed that the associated drain plumbing was cracked due to previous poor installations/repair. He spent significant time doing a very high quality replacement of the drain plumbing. read more

March 2025 - Had a clogged drain. Giovani was the most friendliest plumber. It was a pretty tough clog, but he did it with a smile and his pricing is VERY fair. Thank you for fitting us into your busy schedule. My dad always remembers how great these guys are. ----- March 2023 - Had a clogged faucet drain. Did the multiple quotes on Yelp and decided to go with San Jose Drain and Main again. Showed up the next day right in the timeframe given. About 20 minutes later and $150, my faucet was running normally again. The guy gave me some pointers on how to maintain so it'll never be clogged too. Very appreciated! Side note : Before contacting, I spent a good 2 hours trying with prybars and various snaking tools on Amazon to do it myself. The drain was clogged with hardened material. When I was quoted $150, I was secretly in my mind thinking... "oh, you're gonna want more than that..." so I was shocked when he did it in a few minutes. :( read more

Giovani is a great, no-nonsense type of guy. Very personable and does great work. We had a crack in a drain that was hidden in our wall. It took some exploration to find it but Giovani found it and was careful not to open up more wall than was necessary. He fixed it quickly and easily. His prices were great too. Giovani is good people, runs good business, and has high standards. I don't want to wish for more plumbing issues but I'd eagerly work with San Jose Drain and Main again. read more

Giovani just left after installing a replacement gargabe disposal and I have to join the chorus of voices giving him and his company rave reviews! He was so fast and efficient in that he performed the installation in only 30 minutes. Moreover, his price was the lowest of all of the quotes I received. Even though he found a piece of the pipe was cracked that was not known until he did the inspection, he did not charge any more than the original quote, even though he had to use a part for the repair. Amazing! I will definitely be using him in the future and will highly recommend him to all of my friends and family. read more

I had shower issues for a few days, but was resisting the help i needed to fix it because i thought i could do it. I was wrong, so I finally decided to call a plumber. I found San Jose Drain and Main on Yelp and decided to call them based on the great reviews. Giovani returned my call promptly! he and his employee Edwin were very respectful through the whole process and he is very knowledgeable in what he does. Shower was fixed in no time. Thanks to him I understood the cost upfront and the cause of the leaky shower. Based on my experience, I will definitely be using this company again for any future plumbing needs. I definitely recommend that others use his services as well because I've worked with other companies before and never received the level of service. Thank you San Jose Drain and Main! read more

All-Around First-Rate Service!! The owner, Giovani, fixed a leaking toilet for us fast and inexpensively. He was clear, polite, and efficient. We had a leak from a toilet on the second floor of our home that was damaging the ceiling on the first floor. We got a few estimates. They ranged widely in terms of the amount of work "required" and the cost. Giovani's estimate was the lowest and his explanation was the clearest and simplest. The wax ring for the toilet was leaking. That was it. He replaced it, left the bathroom sparking clean, and was done in less than an hour. Moreover, he charged very, very little compared to all the other estimates we received. read more

Honestly I would give this place a 6 star. The owner Giovvani came over my house quickly on Sunday evening to fix a broken pipe to toilet. Not only he did the job cleanly and quickly, but he also fixed other unrelated issue in the flushing tank for me without asking for extra. He further test and explain to me the house water pressure and other stuffs. I have a chat with him after the job. I really like his attitude and philosophy he has to his business. I thought 15 or 20 years ago, most people in this country run their business like this....but no more now since I don't know when....a lot of business don't their job with full heartedness nowadays. Oh, and the charge is very reasonable. I highly recommend this place! read more

Giovani is very detailed oriented and does great work with a very reasonable price. I will be calling Giovani for all my plumbing needs in the future read more

After competitive bid for a pipe repair job (5 companies), we selected SJ Drain & Main. Giovanni provided down-to-Earth assessment of what the repair job would entail & had a very competitive price. Though it was close on which company to select, I am very glad that we went with Giovanni. He made sure to review the scope of the job again when arriving on the day, provided quick, efficient work & showed confident experience in executing the pipe repair-work (see before/after photo). Truly appreciated the integrity shown in performing the repair. Highly recommended! read more

First - I am a six-peat customer and I cannot praise Giovani enough. He is honest, practical, bright and responsive (especially to someone who gets frazzled easily like myself). He immediately puts customers at ease, and not only is he a true professional, I am writing today to let everyone know that Gio is simply a great. human. being. Full stop. If he weren't such a capable plumber, simply stated I wish he could be my friend. I highly recommend Gio for all of your needs!! read more

Giovani and team Best value around They are very busy. It's worth the wait He is my main plumber He did my main sewer pipe. Shower, toilet repairs replacement. Etc. his high ratings are real! read more

We've used San Jose Drain and Main for several years and once again were very impressed. What really stood out this time was the re-caulking work around the kitchen sink. The old caulking was extremely difficult to remove, but Giovanni took his time to clean it properly and redo it carefully instead of rushing through it. You can tell he cares about doing things the right way and not cutting corners, even when a job turns out to be more time-consuming than expected -- and this was on a Saturday in the early evening. Fair pricing, clear communication, and very detail-oriented. Highly recommend. read more

I have to say I felt so lucky to find Gio company San Jose Drain and Main! I had an emergency leaking repair need to be done and after talking to Gio he and his team came right away. Once they were on the site they quickly diagnosed the problem and since the problem is extensive they actually spent 4 hrs and at the end they fixed EVERYTHING and price is extremely reasonable!!! I'm the happiest customer ever and Gio will be my only plumber starts today !! Thanks Gio so much for the excellent job done again!!! read more

Quality/Quantity - 5 stars for quality! Honest good work. When you find good people, you take care of them. In this case, continue to use them and refer them to others. Hopefully this Yelp review will open more doors for you, although I know you are crazy busy right now. Congrats.

Service - 5 stars. So professional, punctual, and has a great personality to top it off. They also can do services that the TOO large companies can NOT do, thank you. Price - Reasonable to inexpensive. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2014; I think we have been customers since then??? We go way back and have also worked with your twin brother and Sam, your best friend. read more

I reached out to a few plumbers about our broken water heater, and Giovanni was the only one who really listened and tried to understand the issue before sending someone out. Everyone else gave me the hard sell and vague hourly rates, but Giovanni quickly figured out it was likely a faulty sensor (something he'd seen before) and explained that if it was under warranty, I could just order the part myself and call him when it arrived. Super helpful and no pressure. When I let him know the part was expected to arrive Friday night, he told me he'd make time to install it Saturday, which I really appreciated. But then the part showed up earlier than expected (Friday afternoon) and even though Giovanni was still tied up on another job, he made sure to send one of his workers over that same night at 6 PM so we didn't have to go another day without hot water. That kind of thoughtfulness and follow-through is rare. He gave me a clear, fair price upfront and earned my trust. I'll absolutely use Giovanni again. read more

Quick response and good customer service. Appointment is on time and price is fair. The problem is fixed. Would recommend to others. read more

Giovani is the real deal- honest- smart-and quality work at a good price for services rendered.

I have used San Jose Drain and Main over the years, always happy with Giovanni's work, honesty, service and pricing. Just recently, I was not able to reach him and my kitchen sink was backed up. So, I called another company that claimed I had a leak in my sink pipes and the charged was very high, I felt it was not true. I. The meantime San Jose Drain & Main, Giovanni, called me back, told him what was going on he came out later that day. Checked what was supposedly leaking and told me it was not. Thank goodness, I did not hire the other company who was about to take advantage of a senior. Thankyou, Giovanni, with San Jose Main & Drain, for your honesty, professionalism and great plumbing work, he saved me from the very high cost of unnecessary work. If you every need a plumber, call him, he will be upfront with you regarding your situation. read more

Excellent service. Reasonable price. Giovani is professional and responsive. Replaced laundry hose bibs properly. Further he restarted water heater in a separate trip without charging. We'll definitely go to Giovani for future plumbing needs. read more

Had my bathtub clogged and engaged their services. Pleasantly surprised with the engagement due to their quick response, accurate diagnostics of the issue, good communication, very fair prices and most importantly, no hidden costs. Solved the immediate issue and consulted on the underlying root cause of the clog. Highly recommend and will definitely engage them for any future drainage issues. Thanks for the very entertaining stories about the history of my area! read more

Very responsive, kind and provided fantastic services. The price was very reasonable. We had our main water service line replaced within half day. We had other issues with the water system and Giovani also helped take a look without extra charges. Highly recommended! read more

Another job well done by Giovani and his team! Last week I got my water heater flushed (by a different plumbing service) and it was clear something was off with our system after the maintenance was complete. Not wanting to call the same guys to come back and possibly mess something else up, I reached out to Giovani, who replied right away and helped diagnose our issue over the phone. We got on the schedule and the next day he installed a new water heater, also repairing the pipes to the main water line that had corroded over time. I was very happy with the work they did and take satisfaction knowing we're in good shape with the new WH for the next ~10 years. I have a few other plumbing projects coming up and am absolutely going to hire Giovani and his team again, as their customer service is top notch and their rates are very reasonable. read more

Incredible service and competitive pricing. Replaced our old 3/4" galvanized water main with new 1" copper main from street to house and new HD shut off valve. They were done in 5-6 hours, we were very impressed. House water pressure increased noticeably after this upgrade. Will use San Jose Main & Drain again and recommend this business to my friends and family. They are experts at what they do! read more

Had a 911 emergency where I accidentally drilled through my main water line while wall mounting a television. Water was gushing into the wall, unbeknownst to us for a few hours until we saw water coming out of the power sockets! I had called a few plumbers who provided prices anywhere from $600-$1200 to complete the repairs (install the new piping and cut out the old). I finally called Giovanno and he asked detailed questions to understand the issue, which shows that he truly cares about the work he does. He told me honestly that any plumber charging more than $450 to do the work is ripping me off. From this point on, I knew I could trust Giovanno. He came by late at night to assess the situation. He had all the necessary parts to complete the repair and was in and out in less than hour. He also provided us some pointers on our Tankless water heater and a potential draining issue upstairs. Fast forward a few weeks and we needed some work done on a downstairs faucet. Giovanno was attentive and came out to inspect it. Turns out the issue was simple and it was fixed for free! I can't express how happy my wife and I were to find Giovanno and his company, they are truly passionate about what they do and provide affordable pricing. I will be recommending their services to friends/neighbors in the future! read more
