Best Bathtub Repair in San Jose CA

Local Rooter is professional. I requested a quote from their website. After that, Duey called back and asked me to send the pictures of the old water heater to let him know the location that was easy or hard to replace a new one. Got a quote after several minutes. Duey and Jaime showed up the following day to replace the new water heater and haul away the old one. Good communication and affordable price. .

These guys came out same day, and 2 hours after I made the call to them. They were at my door literally on the dot of the time we set the appointment. They installed a high quality water heater for me professionally, timely and using a high level of safety. Great experience!

Marcus was wonderful in fixing the problem and making sure it was all done to satisfaction. It’s not cheap but when in a dire situation, it’s great to have the service available.

If a wonderful plumbing experience is a thing, this is it. Professional and courteous. I felt that the problem was diagnosed quickly and a fair price quoted - directly from their laminated pricing sheet. Hector had all the right tools and the experience to think creatively when older clean-outs would not open. He took the time to make sure it was done right and I am very happy with the service. I would not hesitate to use Benjamin Franklin again - they will be my first call.

The plumber Joseph who came to my house was not only skilled and experienced but also friendly and personable. He took the time to explain the issue and the solution in a way that I could understand.

Bruce totally shwooped in and saved the day for me with a burst pipe today. Went from no water to full service in less than an hour after arriving on site. Thanks Bruce!

Recently (July 2022) we contracted with Plumbtree Plumbing to replace our waste lines, sewer line and gas lines.

We’ve lived in our house for 31 years. The house is about 60 years old. The waste lines and sewer lines were original, galvanized steel pipes. They were near the end of their expected lifetime, and were beginning to leak and rust through. The gas lines had a small leak. Mostly being original, it seemed time to replace them also.

This was a big job. And not cheap. With city inspections, the job lasted all of July, though workmen were on site perhaps 12 to 15 days of that. Think of it as a small remodeling job, and you will be in the right frame of mind. Remodeling jobs can be rough on the occupants, but Plumbtree and its subcontractors did a great job making things smooth.

Great care was taken to minimize the impact on our house. Walls had to be opened, but the team managed to do so mostly in places that were inconspicuous, such as under sink cabinets. To access the crawl space under the house required going through a bedroom closet. They put up a plastic tent with a zipper to keep dust from entering the house. They covered our hardwood floors with matting to prevent damage. The kitchen line required some removal of stucco outside. The sewer line work required digging two large holes in the front yard – one by the house foundation and the other by the street. I’d like to give shout-out to the subcontractor, TrenchFree, who put in the new sewer line using trenchless techniques, avoiding major disruption to our landscaping. They did great work.

We were very pleased with the attention to leaving a clean, safe workspace at the end of each work day. Floors in the house were swept. The excavations in the front yard were covered with plywood at night and roped off to prevent anyone from accidentally entering.

Major plumbing work does mean that for some periods of time, you can’t use your sinks or bathrooms. We were pleased that these periods only happened a few days, and most days were only for a few hours. At the end of each day, temporary connections were put in place to make things usable.

We are also very pleased with the repair work done once the plumbing was complete. Wallboard had to be patched up. In one place that wasn’t under a counter, it had to be textured. The work was done so well that had I not known the wall was opened there, I would not notice it. Likewise, the outside stucco work matched the surrounding wall very well. Even the color is a close match. We plan to paint the house in another year or so; once that is done the work will be unnoticeable. So, kudos to the drywall subcontractor, Drywall Doctor, for their great work.

We appreciated the attention to detail. Some small things: Plumbtree cut a hole in a screen in order to move new pipe under the house. When the work was done, they were careful to replace the screen. When replacing the laundry waste lines, they put in a faucet over the garage sink, something we had been wanting for a while but never got around to. The city inspector noted an issue with our water heater, which a different contractor had installed some months before. Plumbtree took care of that. All the workers were good about wearing masks when working in the house. We appreciated this; we wore masks for them as well.

We were very pleased with the communication with Plumbtree. Mario Quiñonez was the point man, co-ordinating the arrival of other workers and with the sewer replacement and drywall subcontractors and the city inspector. He let us know a day ahead when people would arrive and approximately what time. He was good too about letting us know when our plumbing was usable. We enjoyed working with Mario, and all of the Plumbtree team.

And we are especially pleased to have these new pipe systems which should last decades.

So, overall, we are very glad we chose Plumbtree for this project.

installed the Kitchen faucet

Jorge was very responsive, professional and easy to work with. They did a full pipe reinstallation. It was quick, clean and really well done. I highly recommend them, and will contract with them again with hesitation.

Very good work

We needed to replace a toilet and asked for estimates from a number of plumbing companies. Sam at United Plumbing was quick in his response and provided an estimate after I sent a couple of photos of the current and the replacement toilet. Other companies wanted to come to review the situation before providing a quote. What a waste of my time. United's price was reasonable and competitive. Sam was very clear in his online communication with me and even offered me same day service, which we jumped on.

Anton arrived promptly on time, was personable and very quickly replaced the toilet. He left the bathroom cleaner than it was previously. :-)

We will certainly use United Plumbing again in lieu of our previous plumber who did not respond.

Thank you, United Plumbing, for a great new year experience.
