FastPlumber near me

The 15 plumbers serving San Gregorio, ranked.

We read 530 reviews across Google, Yelp and BBB for the 30 plumbers serving San Gregorio — including the one-star reviews other directories bury — and ranked them the way we'd rank them for a friend. 19 of the 30 list 24/7 hours — but "open 24 hours" on a Google profile and "answered at 2 a.m." in a customer review are not the same claim, and we quote the reviews that tell you which is which. Rankings are not for sale.

San Gregorio's problem isn't finding a plumber; it's telling them apart — the median rating here is 4.9, and when everyone has five stars, the stars stop helping. 16 of these companies carry 100+ reviews — enough history for real patterns to show. The patterns differ more than the ratings do: 15 of the 30 have a repeated complaint pattern in their reviews — quotes that grew mid-job, unreturned callbacks — flagged and quoted on their cards below. One number worth knowing: Caccia Home Services alone carries 2,091 Google reviews — the deepest review base in this radius. Across the reviews we analyzed, the work named most often is water heaters and drain clearing.

Updated Jul 11, 202620-mile radius of downtown San GregorioHow we rank
How we rank — the 60-second version

What we read: for each plumber, up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB — the full text, not just the stars. For this page: 360 reviews across 15 businesses.

What moves a plumber up: repeated, independent evidence of showing up when promised, fair and upfront pricing, and work that holds. One glowing review counts for little; twenty that agree count for a lot.

What moves a plumber down: repeated complaint patterns — surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — especially when they show up on more than one platform.

What never moves the ranking: money. One clearly labeled sponsored slot may appear above this list; it never changes the order below it.

Our take on each plumber is our opinion, grounded in the reviews we quote on this page. Full methodology ↓

Wizard Plumbing and Drain

4.8 (1,646 Google reviews)3.3 on Yelp (100) 15.5 mi from downtown San Gregorio
Our take — how we form it

4.8★ over 1,646 reviews, but the analyzed sample skews polarized (23 of 100 at 1-star); fast_response leads (26) yet no-show/dispatch failures recur.

Rating mix — of the 15 reviews we analyzed1,646 total on Google
5★5
4★0
3★1
2★2
1★7

Our sample skews heavily toward critical reviews — it disagrees with the Google average shown above.

Why we're cautious

  • Repeated no-shows on confirmed appointments with AI/dispatch giving no notice and no callback (3 of 100 reviews)
  • Billing dispute: company demanded payment and threatened a lien for a clog the plumber agreed not to charge for if unresolved (1 of 100 reviews)
  • Dispatch and scheduling break down — confirmed appointments missed with no notice and unreturned calls (3 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Individual techs (Jonathan, Glen, Ignacio) get strong marks for honest diagnosis and reasonable pricing (professional=47) (cited in 3 of 100 reviews)
  • Fast arrival when scheduling holds — same-day drain clears with a $59 special (fast_response=26) (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)

  • 2 Yelp complaints of job abandonment: tech visited, promised return with part the following week, then stopped responding — slow_response flagged in 1 review (2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • fast_response theme in 26 of 100 reviews; responded within 2 hours on water heater breakdown, 15 minutes quoted for same-day calls (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)
  • Weekend work confirmed on sewer emergency; always tried least-invasive option (hydrojet) before recommending pipe replacement (cited in 1 of 100 reviews)
  • Full repipe quoted and executed exactly as quoted; price described as very affordable vs. other bids (cited in 2 of 100 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional emergency responsiveness—multiple reviewers report same-day or within-hours appointments for urgent issues (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
  • High-quality workmanship with attention to detail; technicians coordinate across departments (plumbing + restoration) to fully resolve complex water damage (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)

Why we're cautious

  • One significant incident of property damage and negligence: workers left construction debris that blocked street access for a week and deliberately ignored requests to clean up spilled dirt that damaged neighboring drains (1 of 5 reviews)
  • Site cleanup failures on larger neighborhood projects: 1 review details crew leaving dirt across multiple properties for over a week, clogging reviewer's drain despite workers witnessing the damage and ignoring it (1 of 5 reviews)

To be fair

  • Exceptional responsiveness: 4 of 5 reviews highlight quick arrival and same-day service, with one emergency call at 4am handled professionally (cited in 4 of 5 reviews)
  • Strong proactive communication: 3 reviews specifically praise advance notice, day-before quoting, and real-time updates when running behind schedule (cited in 3 of 5 reviews)
  • Fair pricing with transparency: 2 reviews explicitly mention no hidden charges and honest quotes; one team even coordinated with insurance to confirm coverage (cited in 2 of 5 reviews)
What reviewers praise

The most critical take we found
“Promo Plumbing did work in the neighborhood and left a mess behind. Dirt was left all over the street and in front of multiple homes, including mine. At least three of their workers saw that my drain had filled with dirt from their work and completely ignored …”

What reviewers complain about in San Gregorio

The repeated complaint patterns our read surfaced, business by business — each links to the card where the supporting quotes live. How we find these →

  • Wizard Plumbing and Drain — Repeated no-shows on confirmed appointments with AI/dispatch giving no notice and no callback
  • Wizard Plumbing and Drain — Billing dispute: company demanded payment and threatened a lien for a clog the plumber agreed not to charge for if unresolved
  • Commando Plumbing — Yelp review: tech visited, promised return following week, didn't show twice, then stopped responding entirely — no-show pattern on follow-up jobs
  • Caccia Home Services — Pricing fairness dimension scores 0/100 despite 4.9/5 Google rating with 2091 reviews—suggests potential hidden costs, surprise charges, or billing disputes not captured in visible reviews. Verify pricing transparency before emergency dispatch.
  • Roto-Rooter Plumbing & Water Cleanup — Pricing fairness concern: 1 of 5 reviews explicitly flags high diagnostic fees relative to time spent, suggesting service calls may carry substantial base charges regardless of complexity
  • Works Plumbing Repair & Drain Cleaning — One customer suspected intentional underperformance (improperly adjusted drain plug) to generate callback work for snaking service, though customer self-corrected the issue
  • Works Plumbing Repair & Drain Cleaning — Unresponsive to refund requests: customer made multiple callback attempts over a week with no response until negative review was posted
  • Promo Plumbing Inc — One significant incident of property damage and negligence: workers left construction debris that blocked street access for a week and deliberately ignored requests to clean up spilled dirt that damaged neighboring drains

How we rank the plumbers on this page

  1. We read the reviews — all of them we can get. For each plumber serving San Gregorio we pulled up to 100 recent reviews from Google, Yelp and BBB and read the full text. For this page: 360 reviews across 15 businesses.
  2. Patterns beat anecdotes. A plumber moves up when independent reviewers keep describing the same behavior: showing up when promised, quoting before working, work that holds. One rave changes nothing.
  3. Complaints count double when they repeat.Surprise fees, missed appointments, pressure sales — when the same complaint appears across reviewers (or across platforms), it caps how high we'll rank a business regardless of its star average.
  4. Money never moves the ranking.A plumber can buy the clearly-labeled sponsored slot at the top of the page — visibility, not endorsement. A business we wouldn't recommend can't buy the slot at all, and no payment changes the ranked order.
  5. Our take is our opinion.It's grounded in the reviews we quote and count on this page — check our evidence and disagree with us if you like. That's the point of showing it.
Every quotation on this page is reproduced verbatimfrom a publicly posted review and attributed to its author, star rating, platform and date. Star averages and review counts are Google's (or Yelp's) as of our last data pull. “Rating mix” charts describe only the set of reviews we analyzed, which we state on every card.
