Great same day service!! They were able to come out within a few hours of me calling them about my issue. Sergio was the technician plumber that came out. And after explaining my issue he got to work right away. He was very communicative and respectful of my property. He was able to fix my clogged kitchen sink that was not draining. I am very very pleased with their service, and I would recommend them to all my friends and family.

We had a leak in our kitchen sink. I called $15 Sewer and Drain Thursday evening and was able to arrange for a plumber to show up the next morning. That was quick. Martin Benitez showed up on time. He was friendly, professional. The fix was difficult but he knew how to handle it. He did a great job. I highly recommend the company and Martin.

So impressed with your service. I called first thing in the morning and had an appointment immediately. Brian arrived promptly and was very friendly, courteous and helpful. He was knowledgeable and explained everything to me . Highly recommend $15 Sewer and Drain.
$15 sewer and drain plumbers are the best. They have very competent plumbers. Customer service is top notch. They are honest, sincere, high integrity, reasonable and competent. Makes you feel good to do business with people like them. They are my go to plumber to call for any issues. Special shout out to plumber Brian Cruz. All their plumbers are awesome but Brian Cruz is extra awesome! Ask for Brian if you want extra awesome!
We had a leakage issue through the supply valve and supply line in the bathroom on a Saturday. We initially called another 24 hours company and quoted us $500 for the repair after checking the problem. That sounded ridiculous since the work wasn't as difficult. We rejected the work with that company and turned off the main line so that we could stop the leakage while we looked for few other options on Sunday.
I found the $15 sewer & drain company via Google and the reviews were good. Their rate was $115 for an hour and it sounded reasonable. The service person who fixed our leakage was Luis Gonzalez. He was very genuine and helped fix the problem pretty quickly. He provided bit of general information as well that helped us better understand how to prevent such problems in future.
I would recommend the company if you are looking for plumbing work to be done and definitely recommend Luis. Thank you team for helping us over the weekend since we were getting frustrated with not being able to use water for almost 1 day.
We wanted to thank Sergio Barrientos and $15 sewer and drain for all of their help with our sewer issue. We didn’t know how to move forward with a difficult drain issue at our home and they did not give up on helping us get back to normal. Sergio was very professional and showed that he truly cared which is rare these days. We just wanted to say thank you again for everything and all of the help. We would recommend them anytime and will call again for sure.
Highly recommend! Charles M. from $15 Sewer & Drain came out promptly and resolved my *major*, whole house sewage blockage. I was so happy and impressed with the service, the response, the quick resolution and the price! Seriously the best plumbing response I have ever seen from any company!
I'm typically the person that is skeptical of the big service companies, but gotta say, glad I tried this one!

Kevin Cruz was the guy they sent to my house and he is a STAR PLAYER. Super thorough and professional. Cleaned out 2 different drains and got my Dad's house functional again. The cost was reasonable unlike a previous experience with Rotorooter who tried to rob us. Stay away from Rotorooter and give these guys a call. You won't be sorry?
Luis was outstanding in both his work and professionalism. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Not only did Luis and his team diagnose my problem efficiently, they also offered different solutions to ensure this problem doesn't happen again. 10/10 I would do business with Luis and $15 dollar sewer and drain again - thank you!

The technician arrived on time and was very knowledgeable and professional. Hope&pray that I do not have any more plumbing problems but if I do I will certainly use $15 Sewer Service and I would not hesitate to recommend them to others.
Sergio Escamilla was very courteous and well spoken. He finished his work neatly and in time. Highly recommend.
James from $15 Sewer & Drain came to fix a leak under our kitchen sink. During his process he found another major problem, but used some creative skills to not only fix our leak at a reasonable price, but also saved us a lot of money. Always good /fast service with nice Plumbers. We are long time customers and recommend this plumbing company to our friends. We will gladly continue to do business with $15 Sewer & Drain.

Was in a bind with sewage clogging up and needing to get to the office. Was able to quickly get an appointment for later in the morning. Got call back 10 mins later and they were able to get someone to come right over. Benny Silva came over and quickly identified the issue. He took the time to explain and provide tips to prevent issue in the future all while meticiously removing the blockage and buildup. Highly recommend and thankful for his level of professionalism.
Antonio is a expert plumber. Fast friendly honest service Cleared my sewer line. Highly recommend $15 sewer and drain company

Let’s start with some extraordinary they did, Andrew showed up ready to work on time. He was prepared and knowledgeable. Even help resolve issue that created our problems we did not even know about.
Great service. Prompt. Good value for the knowledge and professionalism.
Yet again/another job well done...Most excellent service! I have used them many times (emergencies and scheduled work)...Another easy call yesterday on Monday (11/14/2022) to schedule the visit this morning on Tuesday (11/15/2022), responsive/set schedule (two hour window), fantastic customer service --- I believe the owner on the phone yesterday and Luis Gonzalez, the technician who came to my house, were both fabulous (personable, knowledgeable, and professional), and execution (Luis did the job perfectly and was gone for a very reasonable price). Luis even helped me setup/provided guidance to me for my upcoming kitchen sink project.
Martin came out with the scheduled 2 hour window. Had to give it a couple of tries but he got it unclogged. He was informative provided recommendations future issue. Definitely would use this service again.

I tried to unclog the toilet on my own via advise on the internet and was unsuccessful. Martin came in and fixed the problem in a couple minutes. He explained the problem and told me about the work warranty. Price was as quoted. Couldn’t have asked for a more professional job!

I called this morning with a big clog problem in my laundry room sink also affecting the kitchen. They were able to get a technician out today. Charles got everything unclogged & working in less than an hour. I really appreciated his expertise and honesty with doing the job as effectively as possible. I will definitely call on them again
This company has always sent their technician to do repairs promptly.
They are very honest, professional, and efficient and I have worked with this company for more than 10 years and I like them very much. I am glad that they even emailed me the statement with photos and an explanation of the cause of the drainage on the same day, so I can clarify the responsibility with my tenant easily. The most recent repair was done on Aug 10th, 2022.
Angel came out for a backed up drain and gave us an estimate for a 2-hour job. Five hours later - after they discovered that part of the problem was related to a bathroom remodel we had done a couple of years ago - they fixed the problem…and only charged us the amount of the original estimate. Angel and his co-worker Martin were professional and hardworking and we will definitely call them again!

I've been using $15 dollar sewer and drain for the past 15 years and I've always had the best experience! Everyone that has come to the house on several occasions are so friendly very thoughtful and kind! Further more they all seem to love my dogs!! Thank you so much!!
Can't recommend $15 Sewer any higher.
We had no hot water this morning.
Valerie was very kind and clear on the phone. Steven was here in the morning to diagnose and returned same day to install a new water heater. Steven and Pat were both extremely kind and competent.
1594 Martin Benitez was prompt, polite, and handled the clog quickly and efficiently. I really appreciated the professionalism. The rate was good too.
I would definitely recommend $15 Sewer and Drain Service to others.
Fast, friendly, and very courteous! I really appreciated Angel’s service today.
Called $15 Sewer and Drain and they gave a 2 hour window. Got a text that the technician was on the way and the technician arrived within the 2 hr window as promised. The job was well done, technician was friendly, clean, had boot covers, wore a mask (even though was not required) and was thoroughly professional. Great service over all.

When the bathroom backs up and brown water is flowing into the bathtub, they are the ones to call. I have relied on them for years to periodically unclog the old pipes on our property. They show up quickly and get the job done. Professional service at a good price and very fast same day service!

Extremely unprofessional customer service. Sergio from their team came to stop by for estimates for the gas line extension project, he said that I’ll receive a quote within two days. It’s been three weeks and after following up twice, they still haven’t done the estimates yet. This shows how less they care for their customers.
Thanks Benny Silva for a fast and CLEAN job. Benny and his helper ran a snake down our main sewer line to clear out a big tangle of roots. The open cage style of snake can splatter sewage on nearby surfaces. Benny was very conscientious and kept things clean… and cleaned up some of the other mess from the original backup. THANK YOU for the great job. $115 well spent.

I would definitely recommend $15 Sewer Rain. They answered my call right away, scheduled a technician on the same day, and my technician Martin was absolutely awesome. He was very professional, very courteous, very knowledgeable and he was in and out within 30 minutes. The value of his service was definitely worth the cost I paid for his work. Thank you!!

I've been using your company for many times before and had never been treated like this before?
Your company had sent technicians four times and they still couldn't fix this drainage problem and left me with no solutions and waisted my time and inconvenience of my tenants....
I also called in this morning 06/22/2022 at around 9ish or so and raked to a lady and promised that will email me the reports and also have someone call me back for explanation of the issues and not yet to get any calls nor the email. She mentioned that they will do it asap.
No nothing yet.
He also left me with no reports as he promised to do. He took my credit card information and when I asked him how much he never answered that question and changed me. When I checked my credit card charges I noticed that there is a charge pending for $415.
I'm going to place a complaint if this changes are not reversed until he comes and fix the problem.
Brian came in Sunday afternoon. Very professional and efficiency.
Amazing service and very professional. The person on the phone said that the technician will be here in 2 hrs. Martin came here on time as scheduled and was able to find the issue quickly and fix it. Very happy with the service.

Our technician was fantastic at figuring out the problem and was extremely generous with the amount he charged. It cannot be overstated how professional he was. Would use again in a heartbeat!
Avoid. No one arrived after almost 2 hours. Stuff happens, but definitely a lack of professionalism for customer service.

I called $15 Sewer service in the morning to unclog the drain in the bath tub in my house. I was expecting to pay between $100-$200 to snake the drain. The technician (Martin Benitez) arrived at 12:30PM, fixed the problem, and billed me $15 (fifteen dollars)!!!! Honest person, honest service. Thank you.
My mom recommended 15$ Sewer & Drain and they did NOT disappoint!!! Escamilla was AWESOME!!!! He was quick, personable, and professional!!!! Thank You for getting our sink up and running!!!! Also the office staff was easy to talk to, personable and professional!!! If you don’t go with 15$ Sewer & Drain you are missing out!!!! P.S I’m not a paid advertisement. I’m a working mom!!
Called them and they were at my house within the next hour. Super efficient and professional. Sergio had my drain cleared out in no time at all. Will use them for all of my plumbing needs moving forward.

Used this service to replace the entire kitchen sewer pipeline in the craw space. James did a very professional, efficient job. He also helped me identify and fix a few problems left by my previous contractor. Very satisfied. Recommend to others.
They had to go on roof and unplug drains. Excellent staff, excellent service. They came over to do a great job fast and they were friendly and professional. Love this company. Our neighbors use them and we will pass the cards around. So thankful for your service.
The technician, Brian Cruz, did a great job. He is professional, efficient, and friendly. He cleared our sewer and fixed some toilet leaks for us and everything is cleared and working properly once again.

The guy came out and fixed my laundry room drain without even involving me! I'm so grateful for the service they provided, and at a reasonable cost to me. They made payment easy as well!. I will use them again.
Every plumber they have sent to our place for the past many years has been on top of their game. Derek Who did the latest work was friendly, explained what he was going to do, and did excellent work.
They are truly professional plumbers and know the stuff and Price is reasonable. Unfortunately I did not find them in Yelp at beginning and was recommended later by a friend in construction business. They are the person you need to hire.
Charles Morales was outstanding. Found problem and solved it very quickly. This is the 4th time I have used $15 Sewer & Drain Service and ever person I have worked with is of this same high quality.

Martin is the serviceman I’ve requested multiple times. Always polite, helpful and honest.
We used $15 Sewer and drain for our commercial prevention maintenance on our restrooms at our Biotechnology company in San Jose.
They were on site when promised, fast, courteous and very accommodatimg given slight changes of our needs at the time of the project.

Kevin Cruz did a great job clearing a tough drain clog.
I had a majorly clogged kitchen sink drain. I phoned up $15 Sewer & Drain and got a same day appointment! As has been my experience in the past, a professional person arrived, introduced themselves, and solved the issue. Kitchen sink is draining! No more hand washing of dishes one at a time! We are ready to go and my parents are coming into town later today. Thank you so much!
The bathroom in our adu was clogged and we had another company came to fix it, twice. The first time they pushed the clog into the main line. The second time they said i have to install a cleanout before they can do anything more. So I called $15 sewer & drain service to come and give me a quote for the cleanout installation. Sergio came the next day with his folks and actually cleared the clog before installing the cleanout! They did it from the roof and it wasn't an easy task! But they managed to unclogged the line and put it back in service. They earned my trust by their work so I'm giving the job of installing two cleanouts and pipe update in the crawl space to them. I may come back and update the review once these job are done. But if I don't, that means all good.
After calling about 9 ( different ) plumbers,
I came upon $ 15 Sewer & Drain Service; I feel I was super lucky !; I’d recommend ! any body this !! company; you guys gotta give it try !; hiring them is believing !!
Specially, the technician, Kevin .., what a muscle ! & knowledgeable !! guy; the company should keep !! him until he resigns ..; he solved ( did ! ) all by himself for a job of 3 guys !, since I had the same problem about 3 years ago, here at the 4 - plex complex in San Jose ..

Better change the name to $115 Sewer & Drain Service. That bait and switch is pretty shady. Would rather pay someone else $200 than pay someone who lies to get calls.
$15 Sewer and Drain is always prompt and reliable. Having an old house, it is great to know people who can take care of issues like this, and we have used this company many times throughout the years. Much appreciated.
