“I contacted Iggy late Monday night, the Monday before Thanksgiving, via Yelp to say I had no hot water. I received a response from him within an hour, requesting information. I had hot water again by 2PM on Wednesday. Other services would have waited till after the holiday.”
Sewer emergency at 11PM resolved same night — arrived after completing another job, prevented overnight flooding.
1 cited review
“Had my entire sewer backup the night before my in-laws were supposed to get here. Sewage coming up through the toilets, the showers, you name it. Iggy came out at about 11PM unclogged it and gave us a great piece of advice.”

“I contacted them around 3 pm and by 8 pm a new 50 gallon water heater, plus all of the code upgrades and permits (required in Elk Grove) were done at a fair and honest price. Another great thing about working with Iggy is the honesty in the pricing.”

“A few years ago I received a quote from Iggy and after the work was done I found I was charged $10 p/h more. This month I had a problem with my toilet and decided to give him another try since the work had always been good. Again, the disappointment of taking advantage of a seni”

The evidence — in reviewers' own words
Critical
“Zero stars I cannot tell you if he is a good plumber because he didn’t show up. I made an appointment with him on Sunday to show up on Monday, Memorial Day between 12-2pm. At 12:06 on Monday he texted that he forgot it was a holiday and wasn’t working. That cost me time, opportunity to hire someone else, and that much longer without water. If you make the commitment, KEEP IT!!”
“We had Iggy install our water heater and it seemed fine at first, but then we realized we had a gas leak. He had knocked the hose loose and it was leaking gas for months. We called PG&E and they told us about the leak and said it had to have happened during installation because the hose was trapped between the furnace and the water heater. We called him to see if he would come out and fix it and reinstall our …”

“I had a main water line leak at my home and Iggy’s Plumbing & Drain took care of it quickly and professionally. They dug down to expose the broken main line, identified the issue right away, and replaced the damaged pipe and fittings using the proper Schedule 40 pipe and Schedule 80 fittings. The crew was efficient, respectful, and kept the work area clean. The repair was done right the first time, and the water …”
“I have used Iggy's for multiple projects now. The latest was to replace a leaking water heater. I contacted them around 3 pm and by 8 pm a new 50 gallon water heater, plus all of the code upgrades and permits (required in Elk Grove) were done at a fair and honest price. Getting it done so quickly takes some major league hustle. Another great thing about working with Iggy is the honesty in the pricing and the high …”
