Long hair = clogged drain I've tried EVERY drain catcher imaginable. The hair in drain issue persists. I bought those plastic hook sticks to pull my hair out. I bought the metal snake situation. Nope, my long hair is undefeated What to do? Call the plumber. When you own your home, things like this need to be addressed. That is your pipe in your bathroom. If you can't clear it, call someone who can. Zaragoza Plumbing has consistently fixed whatever plumbing needs I've had over the years. It's so nice to have a go-to for my plumbing needs knowing whoever shows up will be polite, professional, skilled, and affordable. My hair clog took about 10 mins with something machine sounding. Maybe a drill with an attachment? I'm getting ready to donate my 8th ponytail of more than 12" to children with hair loss. Thanks to Zaragoza plumbing, this labor of love donating my long hair over and over is possible. read more

Huge team came to install the tankless water heater. The permit inspector found some shortcuts they tried to make and they addressed them in order to get signed off, however, they were a bit sloppy when they did their work and I had to repaint my garage door since they used it as a "shelf" for the blue PVC cement while lathering the pipes. Within a couple weeks of installation, the main board on the Navien water heater went bad, and I had to get in the middle of the negotiations with the water heater company on who was going to cover the labor cost since it was under warranty. read more

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I paid $5,000 for them to replace my main line and the valves connecting to the main and the irrigation pipe. Four months later, the irrigation pipe snapped clean off at 2am last Sunday. When I asked them if they could fix it, they refused, saying they were too busy and told me to call a gardener. The gardener found the connection they made was completely misaligned and the "T" fitting was cut too long, forcing the joint and putting constant pressure on the irrigation pipe until it broke. They refused to take responsibility, claiming I would have seen flooding (wrong- my main was leaking 600 gallons an hour with no flooding) or that something hit it, which the water company confirmed started at 2am on Sunday. This was their work, their faulty connection, and their problem to fix, but they won't make it right. read more

Zaragosa has done two big projects for us. One was a complete replacement of our sewer lateral which was not easy given that our sewer main is in back of our house and down a hill (we live on a high hill and the property is not level). Our most recent job was while we were having our driveway replaced. In tearing up the old driveway they discovered the water main running from the sidewalk to the house. Luckily they discovered it before hitting it but it was not up to code (no surprise with a 50 year old house) and needed to be buried much further. We needed it replaced ASAP to keep the driveway project on track. I called Zaragosa and they sent somebody to take a look that afternoon. The said they could have someone back the next morning, which they did, and it was all replaced and upgraded before noon. This kept the driveway project on schedule. Great job and quick turnaround. Zaragosa is my go-to for plumbing from now on. read more

It appears that Zaragoza has a trend of damaging irrigation lines and not taking responsibility for it. After they trenched my front yard/main line there was break in my irrigation line that my gardeners discovered two weeks after they finished in December. My gardeners turned off the irrigation system for the season and given the chaos of the holiday season, I did not contact Zaragoza until we turned the system on in late March. Instead of taking responsibility for it, Jose argued with me and told me that "I couldn't prove anything," and "he didn't care that I paid a significant amount of money," he proceeded to hang-up on me. He continuously talked down to me throughout the process. Especially if you are a woman, I would not use this company. I normally would not leave a bad review for a local company but how I was treated is a reflection of their work and their morals. read more

Same day service, quick and efficient. I messaged on Yelp first thing in the morning. Had a reply within minutes and a service truck here in a few hours read more

This is our second time using Zaragoza for a major job. We're super impressed with the pride they take in their work, with the way they come up with out of the box solutions that other plumbers miss, and with their responsiveness. Right now we're in the middle of a plumbing puzzle and it's great to know we're in such good hands on the way to resolving it. read more

Great service and very friendly. Showed up on time. Charged as committed. And we were satisfied with the output.

Zaragoza correctly diagnosed a major plumbing issue (when another plumber failed) and fixed it super quickly.

"Bummer, bummer, I need a plumber...". After doing the relatively cheap fix on my water heater last fall I knew it was on its last legs. I was only hoping to get an additional year out of it before having to spring for a brand new one, for which the quotes I was receiving were quite over the top. When my water heater began failing again recently it was less dramatic than last fall. The water was still warm - not hot - giving me the time to shop around for a less ridiculous price on a new water heater. A couple of plumbers came out and assessed the situation and quoted me a price for installing a new water heater. Zaragoza Plumbing's price was $50 less than the other estimate I got and that along with their professionalism was enough to land them the job. Here's what I liked about Zaragoza Plumbing: 1. I was able to reach a live person on the phone. 2. They were willing to come out, assess the situation, and give me a quote at no cost. 3. When they came out, they came on time and followed up with a written quote via e-mail later that same day. 4. They were able to complete the job soon and up to code. 5. They scheduled the permit inspection for me but allowed that inspection to be done without them being on site. This meant I didn't have to pay for additional man-hours. 6. Were any problems identified in the inspection, causing the heater to fail the permitting process, they would remedy those problems without additional charge. They were essentially guaranteeing that the install would pass the inspection process. On the day of installation the team from Zaragoza Plumbing came on time, completed the installation, then rang my doorbell and told me I'd have plenty of hot water in a few hours. I did and still do. I was very pleased with every aspect of service from Zaragoza Plumbing. I never love having to spend $2,150 (50-gallon Bradford White heater purchased, installed, and permitted) but when I must, it goes down a lot easier when things go as smoothly as they did with Zaragoza. read more

Zaragoza plumbing has done several jobs for members of my family and me. They are incredibly professional and extremely honest. They are the only plumbers I would ever use. read more

We were quoted via email to have a sump pump placed in our crawlspace. When they arrived to provide the service they said that we must have misunderstood the price quoted to us and it was going to cost almost double. They had quoted us for a "replacement" pump not new placement. Even though we never said we needed a replacement pump. When we spoke with the manager to clarify he became aggressive over the phone and accused us of being crooks. When we told him we have email proof of the quote he said that per the original phone conversation we weren't clear. As per our email attached in the photos, we clearly stated that we needed a sump pump installed and there was never mention of "replacement". We would have been more than happy to come to an agreement based on the misunderstanding but the managers temper got the best of him and we both went our separate ways. This interaction was shocking to me because we have used their services several times before and had a good impression of the company. However, after years in the service industry, I am appalled that the company not only wouldn't uphold their quoted price, they became angry at the presumption that they even made a mistake. read more

Great job installing my new water heater! I had received estimates from three other companies and they were the best and very honest which is HUGE! read more

We need to replace 30' of our outside drainage pipe. This job included digging an open trench, approx. 4 feet deep to remove the clogged and broken pipe and replacing it with new PVC pipe. We were completely satisfied with all aspects of the job that Zaragoza did for us. Jose came to our house within 2 days of our request for an estimate. The estimate was very reasonable and we were able to schedule the work to be done within the next week. Originally Jose said it would be 1 1/2 day job. They showed up with a crew of 4 and finished the work in 6 hours. On top of that after they cleaned up it was as if they had never been there-perfect. I would highly recommend this company! read more

Excellent service, showed up on time and got our project done. Have used them in the past and will keep using them. They fixed our main service line and did not charge us for extras that were not needed. read more

I have had Zaragoza do a couple of jobs. Happy with their responsiveness and their work. And knowledgeable people answer the phone. It isn't some call center thousands of miles away. read more

Zaragoza Plumbing is what I call a "true service organization" that focuses on taking care of the customer. My water heater decided to take a break, and Jose was able to come out within a couple of hours and get it back to work. He explained that at 17 years the unit was well past its life expectancy so problems may reoccur. He gave me several options for dealing with future problems, including inexpensive ways to try to get more life out of it. Well, sure enough, it gave up the ghost soon thereafter, and they were able to come out and replace it within a couple of hours. They even accommodated a last-minute change when I decided on a different model. They are very responsive and competent, and super easy to deal with. They will be my go-to plumbers going forward. read more

AMAZING Service!! They deliver on their word! I bought a new water heater, they installed and came defective. They came to see the issues, and after two tries to fix it, Jose told me he was going to replace it with a new one. Jose, has been an incredible business owner, he came personally to see the issue. Most companies do not give this kind of service, so I have to say he has done an incredible job keeping his reputation as an incredible company. read more

Very impressed with their service. Found them via yelp, sent a message within the yelp app and got the response back the next day. The office contacted me regarding scheduling and informed me the rate. They were able to come out within the next two days which is pretty fast due to every plumber in Marin was busy cos of the big rain storm we had. On the date of appt, Jose called me when he was on his way. Showed up within the time frame promised. Told him the problem I was having and he said instead of snake all the storm drains looking for clog, he will just run the video camera through the drains and identify the problem first. Him and his helper quickly did a video inspection of all my storm drains with a really high tech device and found no issue. Then he went under the foundation of the house and gave me some advice on what he thinks is the problem and solution. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Overall, a great experience hiring them and They will be the company to call when I have problems again. read more

That was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. While unreliable before, I could have forgiven them; but the project manager they sent out to service my tub was beyond belief arrogant and unprofessional. First time was notable but not excessive; today was unforgivable and this company will never get my business. read more

My water heater was old and starting to leak, so I called up a few places to get a quote going. I should have just called Zaragoza first. They were professional, courteous and respectful of Covid precautions. A few other places I had called out asked me if I had done my homework and other really sketchy comments before giving me outrageous quotes. Shout out to Cesar from Zaragoza. He was on time and did a great job with the install. We've used them in the past for our sewer lateral, and i will be sure to go with them again in the future. read more

Jose never addressed the main issue in my review, further validating my concern and belief. He never came to my home to perform an inspection but he was comfortable with providing an estimate for a job. Jose assured me via text and email he personally inspected my home. As stated before, I have cameras on my property and Jose never came to my home to do an inspection. It is troubling he conducts business in this manner. He has proven he will provide an estimate for a job while never stepping onto your property. As stated previously, avoid at all costs. read more

I asked this company to come check on a leak in our bathroom. I spoke with them through Yelp about a leak no price was ever discussed so I assumed they were coming over to give me an estimate as two other plumbers did the same and charged nothing. Well this company came over spent 20 minutes at my house, left and gave me a bill for $200 and said that's their initial cost. I informed them no cost was ever discussed and I feel the initial cost should be talked about immediately, even through our convo through Yelp. Nope, nothing. I felt it was very unprofessional. I wish I worked 20 minutes and made $200 for doing absolutely nothing read more

I had Zaragoza complete my sewer lateral in May 2023. They were so nice and professional. We needed to go through a neighbors yard too and even my neighbors commented on how great they were. Yard was all cleaned back up. Staff is super nice too. Very responsive and helpful. Highly recommend. read more

Our water main gave it up after 80 years. Zaragoza was not the lowest bid (but pretty close!) we received; they were the most helpful and responsive and did an excellent job. We have used them to add a feed to our dishwasher as well. A good plumber is hard to find. Zaragoza Plumbing is the best. read more

Woke up to no hot water one morning so went to the water heater to see the burner failure light flashing on the unit. Was about to order a part and try to fix it myself but decided to get a professional opinion. I called Zaragoza, who had come to our house to give a free quote for a complete repipe of the house previously, to have a look. I called the office and was quickly told that someone would be at the house within 2 hours to take a look. Jose showed up on time, and not only quickly got the burner fired up, but advised me to call the manufacturer to see if my unit was under recall because of a faulty burner design to get a free replacement part. Unfortunately my unit missed the cutoff by a few months, but it was worth a try. I can't say enough good things about the professionalism of Jose, to take time to come by, get the water heater working, and recommend how to get a free part without charging a dime was truly an exceptional experience. Zaragoza is our plumber from this point on, and I surely do wish I used them for my repipe project. Lesson learned, thanks again Zaragoza team! read more

I always have difficulty finding contractors for small jobs so it was a relief to find Zaragoza. They responded in a couple of hours to my initial request and scheduled the time to close off and cap an old gas line. Juan was great, he did the work quickly and took away the old pipe. They'll be the first to be called whenever we have plumbing work to do. Thanks again. read more

My initial experience has been good so far. I was able to call and book an appointment easily. The person I spoke to was friendly and helpful. Will update my review once the service has been completed. +++ Update +++ My service is now complete, and I'm happy to report that I had an excellent experience with this company from start to finish. The plumber, Caesar, was friendly and did great, clean work. They will be the first company I call the next time I need plumbing work done. read more

Cesar and Miguel are the BEST! They were so kind and knowledgeable! They both arrived on-time, worked fast and they cleaned up once they were done. I also appreciate the fact that they put up with me ( I am the client who asks a 1 million questions until I fully understand what the problem is). They were patient and they took the time to explain the problem in detail and the explain the plan of attack to fix it! They have been out to my house twice: The first time was to repair some old leaky pipes and the second time was today, when a contractor accidentally hammered a nail through a pipe. They were able to get me on the schedule promptly in both instances. I greatly appreciate that they were beyond accommodating today, coming out for an emergency without prior notice. If anyone is in need of these sorts of services (eg: plumbing, electrical, appliance repair etc) then you understand how difficult it is to get on the schedule, especially now with COVID. This made me ever more grateful/appreciative of the fact that they got here ASAP on both occasions. Susie, the receptionist is also stellar! I had left a voicemail over the weekend and she called me first thing this morning right when they opened! Overall, this is a wonderful family run business. I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience. I have and will continue to recommend them to my neighbors, family and friends! COVID precautions: they wore masks the entire time they were here and they followed all the standard social distancing guidelines. read more

I Have used Zaragosa Plumbing in the past and had a great experience. I was in San Fracisco yesterday and got a call from my tenant in Novato... hot water heater leaking I cslled Zaragosa... Rafael responded immediately and offered to go right away to my tenants home ( two very sweet elder ladies) and turned the water iff and drained the hot water heater and made arrangements to replace the heater on Monday first thing. I've been a landlord for over 40 years with multiple properties and have never experienced the level of professionalism as I have with Zaragosa! Do yourself a favor and call them if you have plumbing issues! They will set your mind at ease. Norm Sam Anselmo Ca read more

Wanted to put our washer and dryer in our garage, but didn't have a drain. Further, the main drain from the house was only accessible by cutting through the garage floor/foundation and trenching under a walkway. Every other bid said they'd have to cut the walkway. Zaragoza dug a beautiful trench under the walkway, avoided damaging the sprinker line we didn't even know existed in the trench path, and when they finished it looked like they were never even there. The whole crew was polite and professional. They showed up on time. The quote was detailed and thorough. They were utterly responsive through the entire process. Zaragoza is top notch. Wholeheartedly recommended them. read more

Our hose faucet needed to be repaired to fix a bent pipe and new nozzle. Fabian arrived within the quoted time frame, quickly assessed the problem and had the issued fixed in a timely manner. He was professional, efficient and I would definitely hire Zaragoza again. read more

Kitchen main drain totally obstructed. Came within 1.5 hrs of call on a Friday afternoon. Skilled and patient team used multiple sized snakes to remediate the problem. Polite, clean, knowledgeable, and a pleasure to work with. Pricing reasonable and fair. Recommend Zaragoza without reservation. Just the best!! read more

Jesus, Julio and Jose were fantastic, polite, professional, efficient and reasonably priced! They replaced my safety tank on top of my w/h. It had been installed on the incorrect side by another plumber (the hw side) . They could have just replaced it but they did the right thing in switching it to the right side. Thank you, Zaragoza! read more

Great work. Jose's team installed a drain and water lines for a new washer. It wasn't the easiest of jobs but his team got it done without any hassle! We live in a building with shared plumbing. Other companies said they'd have to turn off water to our building and other units for many hours, but Zaragosa worked around that challenge and did not disrupt water service. Its been over 3 months and I couldn't be happier with their work. read more

Zaragoza Plumbing was extremely responsive via Yelp messaging. They are punctual and responsible. They came to convert a grill from propane to natural gas and were very professional. It was a newer system, so they had to come back the next day. When I called and messaged them asking to come back, they responded right next morning (as I messaged them after hours) and came back right away to make appropriate adjustments. I would recommend this business! read more

Zaragoza Plumbing is tops! Our main sewer line was compromised with invasive tree roots and met its useful life. Using the pipe bursting method, the Zaragoza crew preserved our mature landscaping by tunnelling a replacement sewer line. The Zaragoza crew was professional, considerate, and tidy. The project was accomplished as Jose prescribed. We highly recommend Zaragoza Plumbing! read more

They came out to investigate an odor under my sink. They went above and beyond to find the source and at a reasonable price.
