Joseph is an angel. My mom is disabled and we needed help with some plumbing repairs. Everyone I called initially in Las Vegas was trying to talk me into removing walls and replacing everything, including getting homeowners insurance involved, even for the smallest things. Not him. We had an unusual faucet and a few other things we needed help with. He was so kind, above and beyond. I can't express enough how thankful we are for his help and amazing work. read more

Worst plumber I've ever dealt with. Asked him to replace a toilet wax ring and to take care of a bath tub leak which involved sealing the grout and nothing big. Instead, I have to call him back TWICE. The odor is still coming up from the sewer pipe because this smart ass did not seal the toilet base completely saying that water can leak and not get detected! But here's the reality: https://www.timrauschplumbing.com/why-you-should-caulk-your-toilet-to-the-floor This Joseph guy is NOT a good plumber. Stay away. Be warned. I just read he is NOT licensed! read more

Spec Home Drain Services - Did not seal toilet completely and wants more $ to come out to see what the problem is! - Plumbing Near Me - Milpitas, California

Answered immediately at 9pm the Friday night before xmas eve to fix a clog in our bathroom, and quoted a fair price, not the crazy holiday prices I got from some folks. He showed up in an hour to diagnose the problem, figured out that he couldn't use our cleanout that night, and came back the next day (since our kid was asleep and we didn't want to wake her). No extra charge, just came back the next day, fixed it quickly between nap times. The whole time, he was super polite, and explained everything he was doing. Great experience all around! read more

Wow! I'm really impressed at the speed and quality of customer service. I was just online yesterday (Wed) looking for a plumber to do work on my shower drain for this coming Saturday. I had filled out the "Request a Quote" form and sent it to multiple companies. Joe responded within minutes. And not only did he say he could come on Saturday he was able to come within 30 min of the time I requested the quote. I had to get a clogged shower drain fixed that had been in that condition for almost a month. He arrived on time, respectfully asked about removing his shoes, and went straight to work. He was done within 15-20 min and now I have a clear drain that doesn't flood anymore! His price was super reasonable. He was very polite and professional. I plan on keeping his phone number saved in my contacts in case I have any other issues in the future. I'm a very satisfied customer. Thanks Joe! read more

You got to respect people who love what they do. Joseph is one of those people who loves his work. He took his time, paid attention to details and did his job thoroughly through late hours! Work he did for me: *Replaced a garbage disposal *Snake the kitchen sink drainage * Replaced a toilet *Replaced a garage faucet *Caulk all bathrooms & kitchen sink area Thank you Joseph for your services! read more

Another company came out and did a very poor inspection so I called Joseph in a frenzy trying to track down a leak in my condo, especially since I was property managing it remotely. He came out promptly and spent HOURS trying to track down the root cause of the leak from testing out the washer to testing out the fridge. He determined that part of the issue were the pipes and how the icemaker was attached to them, so he fixed the pipe the next morning, even though he was heading out of town that day. Talk about priorities, customer service, and reliability. When my tenant reported that the leak persisted even after the fix, he came right back out and determined that there was a tube within the fridge itself that was disconnected, and made the recommendation to call an appliance company, who I can confirm has been very satisfactory. He also recommended a company to start the water restoration / mold mitigation process who has also been very satisfactory. He called/texted every step of the way to keep me informed, and sent photos and videos since I was doing this on behalf of my tenant remotely. My only thing was that it was hard for me to understand the terminology and issue summary over the phone, especially since I couldn't see what was going on in person. I wasn't sure if it was the pipes or the fridge tubing or a combination of both, and I needed to explain this to my HOA, and of course I wanted to make sure we were only doing work that was necessary. He did text me a summary of the issue so that I could understand everything in laymen's terms, but including a detailed summary on the invoice would have helped. Other than that, I HIGHLY recommend Joseph - he doesn't just do what you've asked him to do but rather he finds the root cause of the problem regardless of how long it takes, and he truly exemplifies customer service. His recommendations are spot-on, because they employ the same work ethic. I will be keeping him bookmarked for any other issues that I encounter, because it's really tough to find someone as hard-working as Joseph. read more

Joseph is a true professional and a great guy. I had an emergency water leak situation at home and he came ASAP and fixed it for me. I have used Joe's services more than once. And he has done a splendid job always, no complains, no issues at all. Price wise he is reasonable and very thorough with his work. Really recommend him for any plumbing issues. read more

Quick once he got to the home and good price. Will use again if needed. He came by and wife was there to greet him, everything went smoothly as planned and price was in line which was give the to me as a ball park prior. read more

Joseph was so awesome. I called on a Sunday night and he came right away. Fixed everything and even helped with my Light bulb. Will definitely refer him to friends and my clients. He is honest, responsive, and give very good price as well. read more

Joseph's phone seems to be disconnected. Any one know how get in touch with him? Thanks. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- read more

Joseph answered my call Sunday evening at 8:30PM. He arranged to come out "1st thing" Monday AM. At 7:10 MLK Monday, he text me that he'd be here before 8:00AM. AT 7:30 i looked outside and he was organizing the tools and parts he'd need for our job. He came in and got right to work. He moved the toilet (we have no clean out) and started the snake. He noted that whomever had placed the toilet after doing the tile, failed to ensure that the flange was high enough and that there had been a slow leak under the toilet. He ran the snake with great vigor and at about 95 feet out, hit some roots that were the cause our troubles. He also pointed out that "flushable wipes" aren't really. We ran a lot of water, shower, laundry, sink and he ensured that the sewer was clear. Then he ran out for about 10 minutes to get the part to repair the flange and installed it for a few bucks more. Great job, great communication. read more

Called in the late afternoon for mail drain issues and Joe came right out within an hour or two (Around 6pm). It was quite a project as it was extremely plugged with "flushable wipes" and he had to make many attempts through toilet and shower. He stayed until 1am to complete the job. He had asked if I wouldnt mind that he come back in the morning (which I had no problem) but I think he is a perfectionist and wanted to complete the task. :) He charged a very reasonable price and I will definitely be calling him again if needed. Professional, reliable and well knowledged. Dont hesitate to call this man!! read more

Joseph provided great service and was the epitome of a professional. He fixed my clogged and leaking sink with care and attention. He's a hardworking guy with a great attitude and his price was fair and competitive with the other locals. Overall, I give him 10/10. Thanks man! read more

Wonderful experience with Joseph. He is very knowledgeable about plumbing. Reasonable and offered 6 months warranty which suggests to me that he knows what he is doing and has confidence in his job. He was very professional and went above and beyond to help us with a few other plumbing things. Overall good work at reasonable price. Would highly recommend. read more

Joseph came out on a Sunday night to unclog our main sewer line. He was able to assess the situation quickly and cleared it out within the hour. He was very thorough to make sure it was completely clear. Joseph is friendly, professional, and knows what he's doing. I highly recommend him if you have any plumbing issues. read more

It is hard to find this days reliable, honest and reasonably priced professional. You can not trust people anymore. Bigger, fancier company do not even want climb under houses or gets on the roofs, do to the "liability". They want take all your older plumbing out, no fixing it...just replacing all! After dealing with large companies and being frustrated with their rules and prices and attitude I found Joseph on Yelp. Reviews were awesome and I have decided to try. I can not express how happy I am with results! He is amazing! He takes his time and does quality job. He spent extra time to make sure things were working well. He try to fix before just to replace it all. I strongly recommend him!!! read more

Very fast response for a sewage clean out. Had to unearth a shrub and promised to leave the site the way he found it. After replacing the clean out, he demanded the full payment before the backfill. Big mistake(check out the other one star reviews for corroboration). Once paid, he checked out. Stopped responding to repeated texts and calls. One week later, the shrub sits unearthed on my front yard along with the old resected pipe, toilet paper scattered in the mulch, clean out is hastily sawed off with the cap sitting on top. Will report this to the Better Business Bureau. read more

Joseph is a nice guy, but he needs a number of more years of plumbing experience before he can be trusted on his own. He took apart an expensive plumbing fixture, and couldn't put it back together again. He took apart the handle in my other shower to see how it was put together, and changed the hot water settings, which I didn't know how to change back. The clog he fixed clogged again immediately. I had him fix the thermocouple in the water heater, and he put in too long a wire, which burned away, and he had to come back. In general, he took too long. I had to call another plumber (Arroyo Plumbers). They were more experienced, and I trust them completely. One guy from Arroyo was a specialist in the fixture I had. I highly recommend them. But not Joseph, at this point in time. He's not ready to be in business by himself yet. If he's with his more experienced friend, then he could do a good job. He's a hard worker, but he needs to be an apprentice for a lot longer. read more

I wish I could give Joseph 10 stars. It's every girl's nightmare to come home from work on a Friday night to find a clogged kitchen sink and the water RISING. wow, just thinking about it is making me break out in a sweat again. I called in a panic and Joseph came the same night, around 11pm and spent a few hours clearing out the blockage. He was calm, respectful, courteous and thorough! I couldn't believe the level of professionalism which he exhibited. He never complained (it was Friday midnight for God sakes) and had a positive demeanor the entire time. he wasn't rushed and he simply explained in detail what he was doing if I asked. He cleared the blockage like a pro. Since he had to use my trash bin as a bucket to empty the dirty water out earlier, he even took the bin around my building to hose it down when he was finished with his job. whoa - that is excellent service right there. I really thought I would have to offer my liver or first born as payment so I was bracing myself when I asked how much it would cost...but to my amazement, his PRICING IS SO FAIR. He is not out to gouge you, he genuinely takes pride in his trade and his work reflects that. HIGHLY, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I don't trust any other plumber, I will only call Joseph if I ever have any plumbing needs. read more

If you need great plumbing service - Call Spec Home Drain! Joseph is awesome! He is professional & reliable and will go above and beyond to help solve your plumbing fiasco. Our bathroom stood under water due to the sump pump failing. We needed help FAST. Joseph helped us research which pump we should order IF needed. He was hands on from beginning to end. We'll definitely be calling him for any future plumbing needs. Highly recommend! read more

I had 3 different company to solve theclogged in my shower room. None of them succeed. But Joseph came and tired different ideas and successfully fix the clog, I am very happy. Later I also asked him to take a look at the water valve leaking. He spent extra time found the problem and fixed it. The work he done has great quality and the price is reasonable. I definitely recommend him to everyone else. read more

We had an amazing experience with Joseph. We had a broken water heater and we were having horrible experiences with other plumbing companies. Joseph came to rescue immediately, and fixed the problem in a couple of hours. He also explained what went wrong with the heater. His service fee was reasonable too. He is going to be our goto guy for plumbing related work items in future. read more

Joseph you are for sure my go to plumber moving fwd... I had 2 plumbing issues in house last week. I called Spec Home Drain Services and Joseph took my call and was able to come out that same day to fix both shower valve replacement and snaking the tub. He finished the work quickly and didn't charge much.. thank you Joseph read more

Joseph is a very good plumber. Very professional, and solved the problem very fast. Highly recommend.

Joseph was great. Garbage disposal went out on a Sunday. He sent me a quote quickly and was over within just a matter of hours! Had my new disposal installed in around 45 minutes and everything looks and works great. I'd recommend Joseph's work, great attitude, and attention to detail to anyone. read more

Joseph responded promptly to a dual toilet drainage issue at my Santa Clara home and was able to come in substantially below his initial estimate by going through the kitchen drainage instead of the usual snaking from the root. He also offered a basement inspection. He seems like a trustworthy plumber who is offering his services at a good value and I would ring him up again in the future. read more

Make sure these guys complete work they are onsite, their responses are terrible once they are out of the job site and encashed the check. You will spend unwanted number of days / hours assuming that they are coming to finish the job as scheduled. read more

Great price, Great Service! Joseph came to install our new dishwasher and took away our old one as well for a great price. He was patient with us and explained all of our questions thoroughly. We'll definitely call him if we ever need anymore work done. Home Depot came 3 times and tricked us into buying unnecessary parts for the dishwasher they claimed we needed, which Joseph clarified we did not. This business was straightforward and perfect for the job! read more

We needed a water heater replaced, which was done in May of 2018. However, Joseph Gaballah charged us for everything including haul away of old water heater. We gladly paid him the full amount as soon as work was done. Unfortunately, he never hauled away the old water heater as he stated he did. We sent him multiple text messages and spoke to him over the phone and he ensured he was going to pick it up all three times as he said he was. Two months later it has not been picked up. Now we have to pay an additional vendor for pick up. I contacted him today and he hung up twice and said he was going to call me back. The company gets the work done but its half-a** if they don't complete what they quote and you pay for. I would go with a different company. This company doesn't seem trustworthy nor honest. read more

Joseph came to fix my plumbing issues even though it was late in the evening. Super nice guy, addressed the issues professionally and efficiently. Highly recommend. read more

Joseph was so helpful! Scheduling an appointment with him was a breeze via phone calls and text message, and within a couple of days he was over to help fix a bathtub issue. He was extremely communicative, friendly and polite through the process which included him having to go to a local hardware store and picking out a unique color-matched new part. I'd recommend Joseph for all of your plumbing needs! read more

Joseph is really great! He saved my kitchen by finding the root cause of the water leaking and applying the proper fix. Not saying that all this was on a Sunday evening! read more

It's 11:45p on a Sunday night and Joseph just left our house; problem resolved. Joseph closes at 5p on Sundays. I called three plumbers since Friday when we had a blockage. One was crazy expensive and had limited tools. The second to be fair, was nice but had a family emergency, so he was hard to contact. So I gave Spec Home a try given the ratings. Joseph answered all the calls and all the texts and went all out to fix our problem. The thing that sticks out the most to me was how patient and how calm he was. He spent almost half an hour trying to detangle the snake in his machine and he just did it without so much as a word of frustration. He had to take care of multiple clients so he had to leave in the middle, but given it wasn't a crazy emergency for me, it was cool. It was just impressive to see his professionalism and demeanor at 11:00p at night on our roof all by himself to clear out our main line. His prices are way reasonable, the best of the three plumbers I contacted and he has a one-year warranty for his work. Plumbing is hard work, especially as a one man job. And this guy is a hard worker. Thanks Joseph! read more

Joseph is great ! He's now my plumber. Came here when he said we would, his work is clean and prices reasonable. Just call Joe, thank me later. read more

I would not recommend this place. I used their service to fix my clogged garbage disposal and leaking washing machine. They managed to replace the garbage disposal, but they could not fix the washing machine. The washing machine was leaking from the bottom, so they unhooked it from the wall and checked the bottom, but they could not figure out what was wrong, so they just hook it back. They didn't charge for the washing machine, which was reasonable. I figured out that fixing the machine machine may cost as much as a new washing machine, so I ended up buying a new one. When I had it delivered and installed by home depot, they found out that the water valve to the washing machine was damaged and leaking. It was not leaking from the water valve before, so they told me that it must have been damaged by the repair person when they unhooked the hose. They tried to fix it for me, but they couldn't, so they recommended to contact the repair person and have it fixed. I send theme messages 3 time requesting them coming back to fix it, but they just ignored my messages. It is not that I was unhappy with their performance while they are at my house, but it is not sincere to ignore their customer's messages and refuse the after care. Now I will have to get another plumber to fix the damage they caused, which would cost me $300 at least. DO NOT call them! read more

Joseph came out to install a new kitchen faucet and unfreeze my dad is supposed to have somebody give me a flat rate and not an hourly and you exactly how much I was paying before he even got started he did a great job I have a plumbing job thank you Joseph for helping out read more

Great service! I had to schedule and reschedule (at tenant's request), Joseph was patient, professional ansd accommodating. He called when he said he would and was on time to the appointment. The drains were cleared and the price was reasonable. On top of that, he is very personable, easy to work with and most of all HONEST. I can't stand it when plumbers act like they are doing you a favor or you are bothering them in your own home! Those happen to be the same guys that try to rip me off until they learn I know what I'm talking about, then they change their demeanor and the price magically drops. Thanks Joseph, I'll be using you next time. read more

The problem was resolved and he was very accommodating in answering all my questions. He was very busy on that day and it was a weekend. The only thing I would say is that he arrived about an hour and a half after his promised arrival window. I would call him again for any of my plumbing needs. read more

Joseph is AWESOME! He replied to me very fast and agreed to come to work on Weekend. His price is very reasonable and he did a fantastic job! I also have some hands-on experience, so I can tell how professional he is. But, what impressed me most is that Joseph is a great communicator! He explained to me about the job, how he wants to perform the job, how many different ways, what are the pros and cons of each way, and he let me make the decision. During the work, he is careful about every detail. And if I have any question, he answered me very patiently. At the end of the work, he checked everything before he left (it was already dark, around 8 pm). And he even replaced two faucets for me, free of labour charge! I will definitely hire him again and recommend him to my neighbours and friends. read more

Good communication. Was able to pinpoint problem quickly. Reasonably priced, would recommend him. Thank you.
