I had a great experience with Saul! He was very kind, helpful, and professional throughout the entire process. He took the time to answer all of my questions about the shower repair and made sure I understood everything that needed to be done. I really appreciated his patience and willingness to help. Highly recommend Saul if you’re looking for someone reliable and knowledgeable!
I couldn't be happier with the work of Carlos Chavarria! From the very first moment, his communication was flawless: he was very flexible, super clean, and attentive to every detail. He was incredibly professional, with a respectful attitude at all times. The result was simply outstanding: there is nothing he could improve, it was all perfect. I recommend Carlos without any doubt; he is a true professional and a talent. Thank you, Carlos, for a phenomenal job!! and Magda the dispatcher. Very professional and great communication.
I recently had my garbage disposal replaced, and I couldn’t be happier with the service! The technician Saul and his coworker Carlos were punctual, professional, and very knowledgeable. They explained the process clearly, worked efficiently, and left everything clean and tidy when the job was done. The new disposal works perfectly, and the whole experience was stress-free. Highly recommend this service to anyone needing plumbing work—they truly know what they’re doing
If you have a lot of money sure! Get them. The process over the phone was smooth. Super fast to get a person in your property The guy was ok Breyman came and said ufff the sticker with the serial number it's not here (it was in the other side the thing is the tank needs to be replaced...for the same it's gonna cost you 3300 dollars including tank, and if you want to upgrade to a tankless YOU NEED to open a vent ...destroy a wall, get new pipes, 10000! I am Not kidding ...he even told me how many bathrooms you have? And I say 1 and he look at me like that was an exorbitant amount of bathrooms! Dude is 1! my existing water heating already has a vent, I got another professional to check it. And said well you already have a vent here, here is your gas line so yeap I ALMOST got scammed ...so if you want to pay a crazy amount of money please yeah get them ...
My mother and I had nothing but problems with getting a written estimate for a shower valve replacement. The plumber that came out provided an estimate all written in past tense as if the work had already been done. He had provided his personal phone number and requests for him to correct the estimate and return our calls went unanswered. The project manager got involved and again unresponsive. He said he couldn't guarantee the date/time unless we signed the estimate. We did not sign the estimate because they did not provide a corrected one despite repeated requests. We ended getting a more reliable plumbing company to come out and guess who also showed up? Discount Plumbing!! And it wasn't even the original plumber who said he would be doing the job. The plumber that showed up said the original plumber sent him - the one that wouldn't correct his estimate!
I cannot say enough great things about LB Rodriguez and the incredible job he did fixing my water heater. From the moment he arrived, he was professional, respectful, and extremely knowledgeable. He took the time to carefully inspect the issue, explain what was wrong in a way that was easy to understand, and walked me through the repair process step by step. It was obvious right away that he truly knows his craft and takes pride in his work. What really stood out to me was his honesty and integrity. Before finding LB Rodriguez, I had another plumber come out who tried to charge me for parts that were actually covered under the water heater’s warranty. LB Rodriguez immediately recognized that the parts were still under warranty and went out of his way to help me get the replacement parts for free. Instead of overcharging me or taking advantage of the situation, he only charged for the labor. That level of honesty and professionalism is hard to find these days, and it showed me that he truly cares about helping his customers instead of just making money. He didn’t rush through the repair either. He made sure everything was fixed correctly, safely, and efficiently. He worked carefully, stayed organized, and treated my home with respect the entire time. After completing the repair, he tested everything thoroughly to make sure the water heater was running perfectly before leaving. LB Rodriguez is the kind of plumber you hope to find when you need help — dependable, skilled, honest, and hardworking. His communication was excellent, he showed up on time, and he made the entire process stress-free. The quality of his work exceeded my expectations, and I felt confident knowing the job was done the right way. If anyone is looking for a trustworthy plumber who genuinely cares about his customers and stands behind his work, I highly recommend LB Rodriguez. He saved me money, fixed the problem the right way, and provided outstanding customer service from start to finish. I will absolutely be calling him again for any future plumbing work. Thank you again, LB Rodriguez, for going above and beyond and showing what true professionalism looks like!
My San Francisco sewer line had backed up twice in the last two years during rain storms with water coming into my garage. I had two prominent plumbing companies review the situation and provide recommendations, which were identical in scope. Jason, the field supervisor for Discount Plumbing, provided a detailed summary of the work to be provided and an estimate that was 30% lower than another the other company. He spent a long time explaining the work to be done and was available throughout to answer any questions I had. The crew was led by Christian who did an outstanding job. They completed both a cast-iron trench replacement along my house and a trenchless replacement in my front yard in one day. They were on time, placed tarps to protect property and landscaping of my house and my neighbor. They worked quietly and efficiently. During excavation, Christian determined that there was significant root intrusion in a pipe crossing the yard from the storm downspouts on the opposite side of the house. After speaking with Jason about the most cost effective options, the roots were mechanically removed and connections were established to the downspouts to assure access in the future. Christian's crew then closed up the trench and left the premises absolutely immaculate, to the astonishment of me and my neighbor. The company that reconnected my irrigation was also impressed. I strongly recommend Discount Plumbing Rooter for your sewer needs. Jason and Christian were true professionals. I will be certain to use Discount Plumbing in the future for my other plumbing g needs.
I used discount plumbing because the kitchen sink was backing up on both sides. The pipes below the sink were clear, so i suspected that the clog was further down the pipe. I tried the standard home remedies of hot water and then baking soda and vinegar but it seemed to work a little bit but still backed up so figured it was more of the drain pipe down to the main line. Discount plumbers was the first to respond on Yelp and I have used them before. Pretty responsive about offering the time availability the next day. The technician was on time and offered up two solutions. I was able to ask other plumbing friends if we wanted to do a snake or something called descaling which was more expensive. But I wanted to make sure that we did what was best for the house in the long term. Since we have never descaled these pipes before, ended up doing that. The technician was very informative about what was happening and was accommodating. Discount plumbing may be reasonable for their price however they are not discounting on their customer service and I would recommend them if you have any issues and I will plan to use them again.
Would recommend or be a return customer in the future. Pricey, but worth the cost in the care/service provided. Discount Plumbing had same day availability when I needed service urgently. The representative who answered the call was professional and quickly scheduled an appointment. Called a few other plumber services and Discount Plumbing was the one who was able to fit me in same-day. (The others I've called placed me on a wait list and didn't sound as friendly.) Josue arrived on time for the appointment and greeted me with a big smile. Josue's service was fantastic. He reviewed the issue, gave a clear and concise explanation and provided his recommendation. Before starting work I received a clear breakdown of the price and procedure. During each major step of the way, Josue explained what he was about to do and why. This didn't take any bit of his time and I appreciated his great communication throughout the entire process. Excellent service and communication from Josue is the main reason for this positive review. He truly set a high bar for any future customer service interactions everywhere.
I was so disappointed by this company's service, they seemed very competent at first, but installed a VERY expensive new unit for us incorrectly, that required a sequence of follow up visits, and when they cleaned another unit in the same visit they completely improperly vented it and created a fire risk, setting off our fire alarms until I noticed the issue was the unit they cleaned. The most basic cleaning totally botched. Also, when they came to fix that issue they didn't clean up the area around the unit, they reinstalled, now properly, and left a the mess it had created for us to clean and replace all the structures we moved around so they could access the mistake. Then when I called to ask for an email to review my issues, there was only a bot to speak with who it became immediately apparent couldn't give me a human to speak with or an email to send my grieves to, Hence this poor review. I iwill never use them again and of course, tell all my friends to avoid this company. Such a pity that good services are becoming harder to come by
On Friday we discovered our toilet and shower were backed up and it was only getting worse by the hour. We called discount plumber and they were here the same day, they attempted multiple fixes and unfortunately were not able to free the clog. However they did mentioned they'd need to come back on Saturday to drill into our garage to remove the pipe and manually extract the blockage. They kept their word and walked us through every step of work they were doing. They ultimately found a tree root had somehow made it into our pipe! They were able to remove it and then created a new pipe system so that if this were to happen again, there would be an easier work around. Loved the communication and attentiveness of this team! They re did the area they dug into with a fresh round of cement, cleaned up throughly as they wrapped up. I also felt like for the work they did it was very much worth it from an investment perspective.Would not hesitate to reach out for any plumbing needs. Thanks for the help here Edgar and team!
"I had an outstanding experience with Discount Plumbing and their Plumber Lazaro A. We have had an ongoing problem with our kitchen plumbing for many years, and have used many different plumbers hoping for a solution. This most recent time, I finally decided to call Discount Plumbing. They dispatched their Plumber, Lazaro A. to assist us in solving our kitchen sink backup. Lazaro was on time and very courteous. After hearing my concerns, he tried a few fixes, then finally used a camera snake to do an inside the pipe inspection. He was super thorough, and pulled me over to watch the camera results as he did the inspection. Bottom line was that Lazaro was the only plumber that really took the time to find the problem. Lazaro was able to get started promptly on the repairs, and we are very pleased with the service, repairs and price. I would definitely recommend to everyone to call Discount Plumbing, as the customer service was top-notch, and our plumber Lazaro really exceeded our expectations. A very happy customer!
I had a leaking pipe under the sink that required cutting the pipe and soldering in a new section. The technician, Mike, was very knowledgeable and completed the repair quickly. The location was difficult to access and even required cutting a bit of the cabinet, but he still finished everything within an hour - truly a professional. On the downside, some basic soldering parts weren't available and had to be substituted, and the torch he used seemed worn out and in need of an upgrade. I would have given 5 stars, but the price ($600) felt a bit high for a one-hour job, even in one of the most expensive areas of the Bay. I know that people around here pay $700 for something as simple as replacing a showerhead, which makes it hard to argue for what I believe would be a fair price (around $300 for this type of work). Still, it was an urgent situation, and overall I'm satisfied with the service.
Have used Discount Plumbing twice since 2022 and each time were extremely happy with the service. Most recently had a clogged laundry drain and was able to have someone out within an hour of calling. Plumber who arrived, Jachua, was courteous, respectful, competent and very very patient with explaining everything clearly and so I understood. While he was working on the clogged drain pipe I noticed a small leak underneath kitchen sink and he was happy to address it after clearing clog and making sure washer drained properly. He worked carefully and efficiently in diagnosing and repairing, was respectful of our home and left everything clean and tidy. Cost of repairs was fair and less than I was expecting. Thank you Jachua and Discount Plumbing! Definitely recommend based on our 2 experiences and should mention we originally found them a neighbor's referral.
Ricardo D. arrived on schedule at the end of a long day with a positive attitude, resolved to clear a plugged drain and repipe the P-Trap under the sink in our master bathroom. He investigated the drain line promptly using a video camera, and cleared the drain in short order, confirmed by video. My wife and I were thrilled to see water flowing when he broke through the plug. Ricardo then turned his attention to the piping. The original piping was poorly designed and built out with sub-standard parts. He reorganized the piping layout and completed the work quickly with parts from his truck. We now have a free flowing drain, carried to waste by a compact, properly aligned P-Trap, assembled by a professional. Ricardo and Discount Plumbing are now our plumber of choice, and we're planning more work in the future. Thanks Ricardo!
