Best Kitchen Sink Clogged in San Francisco CA

It's never a great day when you find water in the garage. Still, when I found myself in that situation that I called the Works at 3:30, Kevin came by 4 and replaced my water heater by 7. Thanks!

Called a plumber out to help me figure out where the leak was. Turns out two of the toilets were running when I was out of town. The techs solution was to replace the parts 2k or replace the toilets 4K and was pushing me to replace the toilets because who knows other parts might fail and I’ll have to replace the toilet in a month anyways. The 4 k price includes 2 toilets plus install and takeaway. I asked them how many hours this would take and what’s their hourly charge and material costs. And his response was we charge by job. I told them to email me the estimate which they never did. And when he left I went on Home Depot’s website and they charge 20 dollars for the parts to replace, 100-300 dollars for the toilet and Home Depot will install each toilet for 315 each. So even if I did go the route of two new toilets plus install and take away that’s still $1200. 4K for that same job is highway robbery. And I get it plumbers will often charge 4x more for an emergency call but this wasn’t an emergency call issue since I already had called the water department to turn off the water and had the water turned off at the main. And when I found out it was those two toilets I had turned off the water to those bathrooms. So there was no emergency and they weren’t offering to do it same day to fix my problem.

These people are either crooks or the tech gets paid hourly and was just killing time giving me an outrageous number while sitting in his van pretending to write up an estimate he never sent me. Because he had me wait a good 20 minuets before his estimate was “ready” to talk about.

Great service once again! Our toilet wasn't filling after we flushed it. Isaac came out the same day we called and replaced our refill valve. Very friendly and price was competitive. I'd recommend him to all my family and friends in the area.

They got to my house right away with all the tools they needed and fixed the problem quickly and well. Their knowledge of how to clean drains is really impressive.

Below was my original review. After they seeing this review, the company called me to apologised. I did not take calls for about 2 weeks but they kept trying. When they got me on the phone, they asked what they can do. Af the end I accepted a 50% refund of the cost of the work. So yes they do care. I would use them again as a result.

They came to plug a gas pipe which was great. But the pipe was in the ceiling and they made a hole far larger than it had to be and that I then had to find another guy to close up

I used the A.B. Plumbing services four years ago and they were very efficient.
So, one month ago I had two plumbing problems at home, one in the tub and another in kitchen sink valve and I had no doubt and called them. They came quickly and efficiently solved the problems.
The technicians are very experienced and well educated.
I highly recommend A.B. Plumbing Services.

These guys are great, they replaced a water heater about a year ago. Gave me an estimate based on a photo I sent them and stuck to it. 2 flights up and a tight space...they were very efficient. I called them back last week because of a slow draining tub. They came that same day and fixed it within an hour. They are clean and courteous.

Javier was excellent, and so was his colleague (Jeron?); great work.

Last year I had to replace the main sewer line that connects my home to the street. It was damaged by tree roots. An expensive project.

In order to find a competent plumber with reasonable prices, I called several plumbing companies and scheduled 6 site visits over two consecutive days.

During the first day, all three estimators told me that the hook up from the house to street is not accessible (it was under the tree) and they could not give me a firm price until they dug up the sewer line. While their estimated costs varied, each bid had a caveat that once the land was opened, additional work/charges may be necessary.

On day two, one of the estimators was running late and arrived at the same time as the estimator for Fast Response Plumbing (FRP) who clearly explained the process to me. Basically, he could not give me a price unless he could find the connection to the city sewer line. He then ‘snaked’ a device down the sewer line and at curb, detected that my sewer connection was directly under the tree.

He told me that since all street trees belong to the City of San Francisco, neither FRP or I could remove the tree. He marked the location of the connection and gave me a note for submission to San Francisco Public Works for removal of the tree. He also told me that the city will inspect the location and if I request, the city will remove the tree at no cost to me. He then gave me a firm estimate and told me to contact FRP after the tree was removed.

Meanwhile, the other plumber was standing there watching FRP estimator work. When I asked him about his bid, he simply said, that they could not meet the bid from FRP and that FRP had trained many of the local companies in how to do trench-less sewer line replacement. He said he could write a bid but my best bet was to work with FRP.

When the last plumber arrived, I listened to how they would do the job, then walked him to the curb and explained that FRP was just here and the connection for my line is under the tree marked by red flag. At that time, the estimator told me FRP is the best at this kind of work and gave me an estimate that was 12% higher than FRP’s estimate.

FRP gave me the lowest and the only fixed price bid. The work was completed as described, on time and on budget, and I have been satisfied with the results.

Water heater replaced, same day, well priced, technicians were super respectful and caring. Also replaced a troublesome faucet in the kitchen in the same service call. Dispatch /office ppl and technicians all very nice and caring. 10/10
