Review and analyze now for company #1 Honest Plumber and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''#1 Honest Plumber came to me as a referral from my neighbor who just had a good experience. Eddie was responsive, helpful and fair.
I needed two PVC lines cleaned out from my front downspouts to the street. He explained the job to his man George, who did the work quickly, and right the first time.
In fact, when I mentioned a difficult to find water leak running up my bill, George offered to inspect under my house for free! He found the leak, and it's fixed same day. All done for a fair price about half of what I paid to my previous plumber.
I highly recommend #1 Honest Plumber! A plumber that matches it's name sake "#1 Honest Plumber". Ed was very fast in responding to my inquiry and price is more than reasonable.
I once have a plumber that unclog my drain and keep running the machine for 1 hour and 5 minutes and then charges me 2 hours for the service call. It only took Ed less than 1/2 an hour.
#1 Honest Plumber is a rare find among the industry. Highly recommended.
Yes, he is honest. And dependable, professional, and highly competent.
Eddy responded right away and gave me clear, up-front pricing (not all of them do that--one, in particular wanted $39 to give me a price estimate!). Laid out the options for price if he came out immediately or if we wait until morning; all the prices were reasonable.
He came out when he said he would. Job turned out to be a little difficult (because my sewer line is very long) but he knows what he is doing and has a 150-foot drain snake (most companies carry a 100-foot at most).
15 years running this business. I will call Eddy every time.
We called Eddie with a sewer backup issue. After using a camera to assess the problem, he discovered the previous plumber had not installed our line correctly.
Eddie was open and communicative with us every step of the way. He and his crew replaced our broken line and brought our setup up to code.
We will be calling on him and his team for our future projects. Had a problem with the water pressure in our shower so I requested a quote and Eddie got back to me on a phone call.
He was very thorough in enumerating all the likely causes of the problem (old shower head or faulty diverter), and scheduled George to help us take a look at it. On the day of the scheduled visit, George quickly replaced the old shower head with the new one I purchased beforehand, which immediately fixed the water pressure issue.
He also offered good advice about what the process to replace the diverter would be like if we wanted to take that path later on. Great service and I'll be back again if there's anything I need in the future.
Eddie is an amazing gentleman! He takes care of his customers and follows up if there are any follow on issues. I've used him a number of times over the years and he's always very reliable for me and my neighbors.
I strongly recommend him and appreciate his help. A Great Plumber You Can Trust for Any Size Job We highly recommend #1 Honest Plumber.
Ed and his team are awesome, kind, professional and knowledgeable! Ed has come out after hours for plumbing emergencies, and his team members have come during daytime hours to redo toilet seals, replace rusted bathroom sink drains and replace our kitchen sink faucet. Their work always exceeded our expectations.
Most recently, they did a much larger job replacing our 60-year-old degraded iron drainage pipes to the main with 4" ABS including a two-way cleanout and a city cleanout. They did a fantastic job, fixed other drainage issues in the process, and all for a really good price! I am especially grateful that Ed knows how to work with the city to get the necessary permits and inspections in a timely fashion.
It was a 4-day job and Ed and his guys were easy to talk to, accommodating to our needs, and thoroughly cleaned up after themselves. We will absolutely continue to use Ed and his team at #1 Honest Plumber! Eddie provided the best plumbing service we have ever experienced after 20+ years of home ownership.
He is a master of his trade and highly recommended. He is now on our speed dial for plumbing service, big or small.
We came back from a long weekend and found our kitchen sink unable to drain. After being unable to resolve the problem ourselves, we had several of the more known plumbers provide us quotes for what they had determined to be collapsed cast iron pipe in the slab floor.
Except for #1 Best Plumber, they quoted extremely high costs of $20K to $60k. They seemed more interested in selling something over addressing the actual problem.
In contrast, Eddie was interested in finding the problem and addressing the specific issue. Because of Eddie's experience and diligence, he discovered that we didn't need to replace a collapsed pipe, but simply unplug the pipe at a plumbing elbow under grown.
He was honest in reporting the real problem, minimized the disruption in the kitchen, and saved us at least $20k. I also like Eddie because he has broad experience from trenching to household plumbing.
In addition, he owns some of the more advanced plumbing tools. Ed and his team worked quickly and professionally to replace our tree-damaged (cracked and blocked) sewer main that was turning our front yard into a swamp.
They added a city clean out and a 2-way building clean out, doing all the necessary permit work with the city. Thanks to Ed's immediate response to our situation, we didn't have to worry about the rainy January turning the inside of our home wet and gross as well.
He unblocked our sewer main within a day (to keep our household of 4 going), then took the time to assess and communicate the situation, giving us *honest* options on how to move forward. We decided on a full replacement to have that peace of mind.
To get the job done, Ed and his team worked between bouts of rain (and the other jobs they had to handle) to dig the necessary holes for the pipe burst machine (including quite a bit of hand-digging under our house to reach the ABS pipe). Ed handled everything, communicated well, and left our home & front yard with barely noticeable signs there had been any work done at all.
We have some new grass to grow and a few rose bushes to plant, and that's it! Thank you Ed and team! Ed was awesome. I had a clog and a few drains backing up with water.
Made the call at 8 AM and Ed and his team were here by 9. They quickly diagnosed the situation and explained the different possibilities that could be causing the issue.
After explaining a lower cost / lower probability option and a higher cost / higher likelihood of success option, they continued to investigate and ended up identifying a 3rd option, that was fast and cheaper than both the other options provided. They made the fix, stayed to confirm everything was working and done within 30-45 minutes.
It's so refreshing to work with Ed, who was professional, honest, takes pride in his work and operates with integrity. If I run into any issues down the road, I'll definitely contact Ed first! Speedy response to request.
Technician was here in 15 minutes. Price was excellent value compared to other plumbers.
Will definitely use these guys again. A reliable, highly-skilled and trustworthy plumbing contractor.
Eddie and his crew take great pride in their work and in making sure the customer is well taken care of. Moreover, Eddie takes the time to explain the scope of work to ensure that we know what is being done and why.
We have benefited from his expertise on several jobs now and we would be happy to use his services again the future. Eddie and George have been out to our house a couple times already clearing drains and being generally amazing.
They are direct, on time, and really kind. I have had to deal with quite a few plumbers in my time and #1 honest plumbers have been the best we've ever dealt with hands down, cannot recommend them enough! Eddie did a fantastic job fixing our clogged drain.
He knows his stuff and was able to diagnose and quote me a price over the phone. He stuck to that after he arrived promptly and finished the job.
I highly recommend this business. Eddie just pulled a massive amount of hair out of my daughter's shower, and showed me how to do it myself next time.
I asked him to snake a sink that sometimes runs slow, but is currently running fine, and he explained why I should wait. And then, he refused to let me pay him since he hadn't been able to come out the very day I contacted him.
He really is the #1 Honest Plumber. Two enthusiastic thumbs up! I had an issue with my main line to the street for many years and have used multiple plumbing services with poor results.
Ed at Honest plumber has really been the only one I can trust. Ed was very professional and courteous.
ED and his team replaced my main line and put a clean out in at the street side. They were quick and efficient.
You could not ask for a better plumber. I would recommend Honest Plumber every time.
Best in the area. Found on yelp and he gave us a nice call, an honest assessment of what was going on, and then in person helped us fix the problem in ways we didn't even think possible even after working on it ourselves for hours...
Highly recommend!!! Wow, I can't say how thankful I am for Ed to come out. He definitely is an honest plumber! We had an issue with our garbage disposal and Ed was able to come out the same day and fix within 20 minutes.
He didn't overstate the problem and in the end, taught me how to troubleshoot and fix it if I ever run into a similar issue again. Most plumbers would try to tell you to call them again and charge you for another service fee! I really appreciate this #1 Honest Plumber.
Will call them again in the future for any plumbing needs. Summary: my go to plumber going forward, no need to look further.
Good value, on-time, on-budget projects that are well executed with good results. Great people, friendly, clear, honest, and professional.
I would recommend Eddie and team with no reservations. If you want more details, read on.
Sewer line going from our home to the main city line clogged up recently, and water was coming out of the only cleanout near the home. This has happened some years back and snaking it fixed it.
So I checked a few plumbers online, called a few to see if they can come right away. #1honestplumber was one of the fastest, and also very reasonably priced, with good reviews to boot, so I went with them.
They were on-time, professional, and quick. Opening the line proved difficult, and the person who came said it would not last long and I should schedule an inspection with Eddie.
Sure enough, the line clogged up in a day or two before I can even schedule the follow up. They came back and opened the line the same day, no charge, and they also did the inspection.
Eddie walked me through the details of the problem, my options, and their pros and cons. He was very clear and direct, and did not push at all for one way or the other.
He was also upfront about costs of each option, and they were all reasonable. I decided to go with installing new pipes to the property line, as well as a new cleanout near the street.
Eddie scheduled me for the next available opening in a few weeks. A few days later, the line was blocked again, and Eddie stopped by right away to open it, and also said he will treat this as an emergency case and move me up if anything gets cancelled.
Luckily for me something did and he bumped us up. While we were waiting for the scheduled date, Eddie came by and unclogged the line, for free, anytime it was blocked, including late in the evening on a Sunday.
The work started on schedule, and completed on schedule. It was very clean, efficient, and professional.
Eddie handled permits, scheduling, inspections, everything. I was super happy with the whole process.
More importantly, Eddie was great to work with throughout, patient with questions, clear and straightforward with his answers, friendly, professional. All around a great human being to work with.
Going forward, he is my go to plumber, no need to look for anyone else as long as he is available. Our kitchen sink had a blockage somewhere and the water was going very slowly.
We tried few things at home and it helped. I called Honest plumber to check and they responded pretty quickly.
They came as per the time and quickly checked the sink and recommended that there is no issue as the blockage was mostly because of the design of disposal drain. I think it was Eddie who came and he recommended us few things to avoid the problem going forward.
The best part is that he didn't charge us anything. The name is Honest plumber for a reason.
Would definitely recommend them to everyone. Called and was connected to Eddie, quickly! [Brownie point #1] I had very specific questions, such as does he cover my area, does he offer this exact service (I knew what I was doing...so i thought) Eddie answered all my questions and also directed me to specialist for what I was in need of [brownie point#2 for something i did not know].
He instantly provided me two referrals on the spot. He was gracious about the entire call and we both hung up so i could call his referrals (got connected and scheduled an appointment but 2 days out was the earliest i could get...
*anxiety still running*) Brief moment later, Eddie calls me back and checked in with me to see if I connected with any one or find progress in what i needed (I was touched about his care even though it is now out of his hands... brownie point#3!!!).
We got to talk in more details about my commercial property and the abnormal situation i felt i was in. He agreed with me and walked me through two ways I or my contractor can do RIGHT NOW to check what is going on with possibly a major leak.
HELLO & YESSSS this is what I need! I am definitely willing to roll up my sleeves to find answers and not sit tight and wait for a few days building up anxiety. [Brownie point#4] THANK YOU, EDDIE! While I didnt truly "hire" you for your expertise and services, you still went above and beyond during some time of stress I was having with the unknown.
If I was in dire need of a plumber again ((which will for being a property manager)), Eddie will be the first I call and not calling the entire Yelp of plumbers. -Fast to speak with him live -knowledgeable & resourceful -Very caring These guys know what they are doing.
Highly recommend Eddie and his crew. They work hard and get the job done.
Local knowledge of plumbing infrastructure and use latest technologies too make the job last a long time. I'll hire Eddie for plumbing issues going forward.
They definitely live up to their name - honest, professional and reliable. They showed up because we were smelling sewer gas coming from our shower drain.
They not only Cleaned the drain- it needed it. But they also found and fixed the root cause of the problem- a toilet seal that was broken in the other bathroom down the hall! It had been slow leaking/ accumulating sewage.
So gross and unsanitary. They cleaned and sanitized the area and reseated the toilet.
Immediately after they left no more smell. We are all quite literally breathing a sigh of relief and so happy that the smell is gone.
THANK YOU! If you need an honest, smart, skilled and fair plumber - you have him. Ed and his crew were able to resolve our plumbing issue very quickly and professionally.
Had some damage to the main water line to the house where the water would back up in the shower every time you flush the toilet (pretty nasty). Ed came on such short notice after I called just a few days before Christmas and was able to get the water line to a usable state on the same day! The real repairs started about a week and a half later and Ed was great at communicating and updating us through this process.
If you need any plumbing related work done Ed and his team comes with my highest recommendation! That was amazing! My garbage disposal stopped working. It was making a humming sound but not turning.
I was planning on scheduling an appointment. But they consulted me over the phone with a free tip using garbage disposal key.
It totally worked and saved a trip! I can truly attest to the honesty of the service and next time I have plumbing issue, I'm gonna call here for sure! Thank you! I've used their service before for installing a toilet and recently for cleaning the drain in the bathroom: fast response, quality job and reasonable cost. Simon came right on time, was very polite and even though the clog got somehow cleaned by itself, gave me some good advice for the preventive maintenance.
If you are looking for the reliable plumber, I would recommend them. Got clogged sewer line cleaned.
Job was done pretty quickly once we scheduled it. Good value.
Eddie is super nice, patient, and thorough with everything! He was able to come the next day to help me with my toilet issues and gave me a reasonable price. Definitely recommend him for all of your plumbing needs.
The toilet kept backing up. The camera showed that we probably have a broken line.
We decided to replace the whole line. Called a few companies.
Eddie was referred to me by a neighbor and he was the third one I called. He really impressed me when he came to give me a quote.
He knows what he was talking about. Even better, he explains in such a way that I know what he was talking about! We hired him on the spot.
I don't remember I ever did that! Eddie and his team replaced my sewage line. They did it in a very professional and efficient way.
As a small business owner myself, I can see his advantage: he is involved in every detail of the projects. With the bigger company, you are at the mercy of whoever is sent over.
Here are a few things that I really like: 1) He came out to snake the line when it started to show problems before starting the project to make sure we are OK. 2) He explains things in great details to me.
3) The project was done in a timely manner. 4) The team even fixed the sprinkler and the lawn after they are done with the project.
5) Last, but not least, he is very reasonably priced!!! I will hire him if I have another plumbing project! Our two toilets and two bathtubs were both clogged for a week and I had tried to snake through my toilet and bathtubs, a cleanout in my garage, and a main cleanout in the driveway but no luck. I spoke to the owner Ed on the phone and shared the issue with and he immediately knew the resolution and he really broke it down how piping in a home works and even shared some background history.
Ed gave me options of what I could do and never pressured me to do anything I didn't want which I appreciated. He came over the same day and did a walkthrough my home to see what would be the best place he can start snaking.
He attempted to snake both the main and finally the roof. He said that most plumbers don't snake through the roof but he said he did.
It took a couple punches with the snake through the roof but he was able to fix the clog! Ed is friendly, credible, and professional and was able to resolve our issue the same day! Thank you for all that you do and sharing your knowledge! Definitely recommend his services! Eddie responded promptly to my Yelp project request, sorted out enough over the phone to ensure he'd have the right gear and staffing to resolve in one trip, arrived on time, had everything resolved within 30min. Fantastic service, and a surprisingly good price.
We have our new go-to plumber! Ed is very professional and solved our clogging problem really smooth. I would recommend.
I usually dread calling a plumber. Today was different, I called and they worked me in sooner than originally estimated.
They knew exactly what to do and did it, and the price was great. I know who I will call again if I need a plumber.
Fast and responsible service. Great experience and explanation well.
Discount prices. I called 3 plumbers.
The last call was with #1Honest Plumber. I spoke with Eddie over the phone.
I've explained our toilet issue. He understood it well, told me what's wrong, gave me a decent quote and will have Simon at my house within the hour.
True enough, Simon showed up at the front door at 10:30am sharp. He looked at it and within 30 minutes, replaced the pipe inside the toilet water tank.
Very clean, quick and courteous. I will certainly recommend #1 Honest Plumber and definitely will use them again.
Thank you for a job well done! Needed help urgently as all bathrooms and showers were clogged . They responded within few minutes and showed up within an hour.
They saved the day . Very professional and reliable Called 5 pm and had plumber come 8 am next morning to look at a leaking pipe in my ceiling.
Plumber looked at the leak and informed me he didn't have the equipment to repair pipe and referred me to another plumbing company. Was not charged for visit.
I appreciated the fast response, the honest inspection and helpfulness in finding me someone to fix my issue. Simon is very competent, pleasant and cleaned up well afterwards.
The owner, Eddy, is very knowledgeable and pleasant as well. I've been very satisfied with them.
Our washing machine started overflowing the drain and filling up the sink, eventually spilling onto the garage floor. The first plumber I called did not correctly diagnose the problem but proceeded to draw me a very nice picture of pipes and tell me that we needed to install a new plumbing system that entailed opening the wall and running pipes to the roof creating an air release or something.
Oh and it will cost about 10K!!!! This wasn't my first rodeo so I thanked him and sent him on his way. Unbelievable! I then contacted #1 Honest Plumber who sent out a very pleasant gentleman the next day.
It's just a clogged drain! He snaked the drain, problem solved! Only $100! Wow!! Best plumbing experience ever. They provided fast efficient repair of p-trap problems that I initially tried to fix but made worse.
He was friendly and if the need arises, I will use them in the future. I had a very clogged up kitchen sink and Eddie snaked and cleaned it up quickly and thoroughly.
I had sludge coming out of the clean out and the job definitely took longer than he had originally planned for. He did not try to upsell me or request for more money.
Definitely the honest plumber. Water flows out of the drain when our washer runs.
Calling Eddie, he offered a reasonable price and next morning fix. Arrived on time, had a great quick fix along with a good chat.
Eddie nicely offered 30 day warranty offering me peace of mind. Eddie is a great guy, definitely honest and reliable plumber, and I will reach out to him again for help in future.
Thank you Eddie! Joe I had an emergency with the plumbing with the toliet this morning. I felt bad calling early in the morning, but Eddie still answered the call.
I told Eddie that my toliet making alot of noise and it's leaking water. Good thing Eddie was near my job site.
He told me he will come over asap. Man this guy quick.
He came less than 1 hour. I really lucked out today.
I also noticed my water bill went up alot. Eddie told me the leak the reason why.
Eddie made today unpleasant experience really pleasant. Eddie loves his craft and helping the people that live here in Sunnyvale with plumbing issues.
I also like the fact he doesn't price gouge you. His service and price is reasonable considering the area I'm at.
If you need an Honest Plumber, Eddie your man. Tell him Francis sent you.
We first contacted Eddie, who advised us to notify the city first, to make sure it was our issue that needed to be fixed, rather than the city's responsibility (sadly, it was ours), which really shows to me that they care about providing a great, honest service. Eddie came in first thing the morning after we contacted him (on Sunday morning, nonetheless), and gave us some good advice regarding our issue.
Later, Sal was able to come in, identifying that previous contractors had misdiagnosed the plumbing issue/location, and explaining the issue to us in simple, understandable terms. I appreciate that this company doesn't just go by the notes, but actually thoroughly checks through for their own understanding, to assure the best, timely service.
I accidentally clogged my toilet and was freaking out. I contacted multiple plumbing services but Edward responded to me the fastest.
The price he quoted was very good, and he even recommended tools that would save me hundreds! I highly recommend him and his team to anyone in the Silicon Valley area. I have had Eddie out to my 1960s ranch home for various issues related to its age over the last five years or so.
Despite being busy due to his good reputation he has always made time to deal with urgent matters, and always gotten it taken care of himself. The prices are always very reasonable despite living in a high-cost area, and he does not try to upsell or over-do the work, which is even more important that the prices themselves.
He has my family's trust and we intend to use him for many years, and you should too. Five stars.
Ed is a great professional and I really appreciated his timelines, communication and problem solving. Thank you! Eddie responded very quickly to my call.
I called Friday, and he confirmed a time for a plumber to get to my house on Monday at 2PM. My particular problem was a leak coming out of my toilet.
George, the plumber, called me on Monday morning, and he was able to come in at noon. He assessed the problem, and quickly changed the wax seal on my toilet, and this fixed the leak.
As a side point, during the course of this work (toilet removal, wax seal application, toilet reinstallation) the water hose to the toilet came up with a small leak (one of the reasons I hate doing plumbing work myself - it seems like something 'else' always 'breaks', or comes up with issues). George was well prepared, and easily replaced the hose, and eliminated the leak.
I should also note that the space to get to the toilet was pretty tight (due to the placement of the shower stall), and George was able to squeeze and get the work done. All of this work took around half an hour.
To sum up: George was courteous, quick, and he effectively fixed my issue. Thanks! Also, Eddie got back to me quickly, and kept me in loop on the schedule (and pulled the time schedule in by a couple of hours).
All appreciated, and Eddie and his team will be my 'go to' folks on future plumbing 'adventures'... Eddie NEVER disappoints - quick response when we called, was on time for the appointment, fixed the issue ...
then came back to the house immediately when a new situation arose. This is the third time we've used #1 Honest Plumber and it was - again - top notch.
Thank you! Really good company. Fast response, very competitive cost.
Simon came out and was professional and friendly. I could not have asked for more.
Will definitely use them again and will refer them to others. The job: Sewer was clogged.
I absolutely cannot recommend Eddie highly enough! He's not only an honest plumber, but he's professional and patient, seemingly happy to explain his plan and what he's doing each step of the way. Our drainage from sinks and laundry has been backed up lately, slow, and smelly.
We recently received an estimate for over 8 thousand dollars from another plumber to tear up our brick patio and inspect the line after he failed to snake it. I called up Eddie and within 24 hours, despite being busy on another job, he came out here and cleared everything up beautifully for only $300.
I was stunned. An honest and professional plumber is worth his weight in gold, and Eddie has earned a customer for life.
Thank you! Eddie just left after cleaning our main line again, and for a very reasonable price. As always, he tells you like it is, while giving you multiple options.
In addition, he explains what the root cause is in a lot of detail. I've always suggested him when asked, and I always will.
He's awesome! I'm on a volunteer board for a local swimming pool. We had major plumbing problems and Ed came out immediately, whereas it would take more time for other plumbers to come out.
He and his team were phenomenal. Our issue was not an easy one.
It also involved the city, getting permits, etc, as our old pipes extended to the street curb. Ed could do all of this promptly and was constantly communicating with us.
He's straightforward, a great problem solver, and genuinely wants the best outcome for our issues. Our pool was up and running in no time.
We were fortunate to get our problems solved. Will definitely do business with Ed for any future needs (both for business or personal home needs).
We live on the top floor in a condominium, and our master bedroom tub was draining slowly. Also water would come from the drain when our neighbor was showering.
I submitted a yelp estimate and Eddie got back to me within an hour to talk further about the issue. Jorge came by and assessed the situation efficiently, and explained what could be causing the issue.
Jorge needed to go into both my unit and my neighbors to resolve the clog. He we very courteous when entering each unit.
We are very impressed by Jorge's professionalism and expertise. We will definitely be recommending #1 Honest Plumber to our friends! Eddie helped me diagnose and fix a very complex sewer pipe problem.
He quickly identified the problem (broken joint located deep under a thick concrete slab), clearly explained what needs to be done, and assembled his team to cut the concrete, repair the sewer pipe, and re-pour concrete. The job was done efficiently and nicely.
Our toilet was not draining in 2021, he charged $400 to use the better snaker but after getting the money and going on the roof he was like he couldn't use the snaker because of the pipe being too narrow, he'll fix the issue in the bathroom (we had a discussion that the fix via bathroom would be sub optimal and he charges only $150 for that, I told him I even got $99 quotes for that). But he refused to refund me the money saying since he went up on the roof, he'll pocket the whole $400.
So he overcharged for a service he never provided. The most dishonest plumber I found.
I highly recommend Eddie for your plumbing needs. He is definitely honest and will talk you through your needs/issues.
Here within one hour of my call to them. Toilet was having some issues.
Service was quick, clean, and reasonably priced. I'll definitely keep these guys in mind for all of our properties.
I just called a bunch of plumbers like 10+ and after speaking to Eddie, I think he really is an honest plumber! Super nice guy, gave alot of helpful information, even though I'm out of his service area (I'm too far north closer to SF), but I really appreciate the time he took to give me advice on my sewer lateral replacement issue. He does the work, but I'm just to far away.
Thank you Eddie for being such a nice and helpful human. It's rare, and refreshing! Excellent service.
Very professional. Had a kitchen sink backup problem, I called Eddie at 10:00 AM, he was very courteous, answered all my questions including potential charges, and scheduled a 1:00 PM service visit the same day.
At 1:00 PM sharp, Simon was at my house, did a very thorough job, he was very polite, professional and courteous, and solved my sink backup problem. The charges were extremely competitive for such a clean and professional job.
I highly recommend #1 Honest Plumber. Our main sewer line was clogged, and Eddy was available immediately, and charged honest price.
He not only cleared the clog, but also gave suggestions on avoiding it in the future. Great thing about Eddy is he's truly honest about the job.
I never paid any plumber this low, in 12 years of managing my property. We've hired Honest Plumbers for multiple services, and will continue for our needs as they arise.
They always give fair and reasonable pricing. They are always quick to respond especially when we have had emergencies.
Eddy has always kept us in the loop about the plans and next steps. They're friendly, punctual and communicative.
We had water leaking from our water heater one morning and they came first thing with a replacement and installed it by the end of the day. Over the holidays our sewage exit pipe clogged and needed to be replaced since over the years it got damaged by the big tree roots and started to deteriorate since it was really old.
He kept us in the loop about the plans of when installation would happen and what our options were. He never pressured us to choose any path, just gave us the information and options and let us decide.
He's knowledgeable, transparent and honest. We can't say enough great things about Eddy and his services! I don't normally write reviews but I am just really happy about the service that I received from #1 Honest Plumber.
I am so glad that I got another opinion. When I used my washing machine, water backed up resulting with wet floors.
Spoke with Eddie, the owner, and he was easy to talk with and cared to listen to me and what issues I was having with my washing machine and what other plumbers have already tried to fix the issue. He came out the next morning and diagnosed the problem and talked me through the entire process.
His charge was reasonable and even texted me to follow up that everything was in working order. I have a new plumber now for future plumbing service needs.
Thank you Eddie! What can I say that hasn't been mentioned on here already? I called a few days and spoke to Eddie about the plumbing work I needed to be done in my laundry room. The house was built in the 1950s and the plumbing valve that connects to my washer is original.
I needed to upgrade the valve since I did not want to have any issues with the new washer I was going to purchase. Once I mentioned the area I lived in, he was very knowledgeable of the history of this neighborhood and plumbing.
He wanted to quote me out accurately and recommend to come to the house to check out the scope of work. We settled on a day/time and informed me he would send out Simon to provide the quote and do the work if I accepted.
The estimate was free. Simon came today and I couldn't have been happier with the level of service and work.
After Simon was done with the initial project I had him start another project on my checklist. He upgraded my main shut off valve and was done in 30 minutes.
He mentioned he had been doing plumbing for over 20 years and his experience shows. Before I gave the green light for work to be done, Simon walked me through the process, gave me options, and answered all my questions.
Feels great to know I now have a go-to plumbing company for as long as I live in this area. Simon came out on time and fixed a problem with our toilet.
He replaced the bolts and resealed it. He did an excellent job.
He clearly knew what he was doing, and wasted no time in competing the job. He was also careful to not make a mess, and he cleaned up beautifullyl.
They are not cheap, but you pay a premium for great work, and that is what I got. Over the 23 years we have lived in this house, we have worked with a number of plumbers.
Many were decent and fair and some were just out to get as much money as they could. Eddie at #1 Honest Plumber is in a class by himself.
When we had a blockage in our laundry drain in the garage, I called Eddie first thing in the morning. I'm not one to get five or six estimates because that has never really worked for me in the past.
Something like plumbing depends on the situation; not all blockages are the same and not all situations are the same so it really boils down to whether or not the plumber is honest and has your best interest at heart. Based on the careful perusal of many reviews, I decided my best bet was to go with Eddie.
I was not disappointed. Several years ago, I had this drain unplugged.
Itseemed OK at the time, but was never really draining quickly. I now realize that there was a deeper problem that the first plumber did not fix.
We were notified by the city that we had a water leak as our usage was very high, compared to previous months. We contacted #1 Honest Plumber.
Ed responded within 5 minutes. He was understanding and very accommodative.
The person he sent to our home was a consummate professional. Diligent.
Methodically checked every bathroom... and correctly identified the problem in our irrigation system (which I pointed out as a perenial wet spot).
He dug up the area and found the leak. He would have fixed it if I would have accepted his quote for $450.
I did not. He charged $150 for the 50 minutes he spent identifying the problem.
In summary, this company lives up to it's name. They are very honest.
Prompt and extremely responsive; albeit a bit on the pricey side. Ed is seriously too nice! He wasn't able to come out with a booked schedule, but he said to give him a call if I had any questions.
I did, and we discussed my issue and he gave me some great advice. He said if I didn't find someone by Monday, he would have time then, but he understood I might want to clear up our plumbing issue sooner.
I called him back for follow up advice.. really grateful for his time.
I would not hesitate to call Ed in the future. His price quoted was fair, and he really deserves the title "the honest plumber" Thanks Ed! It's all cleared up now, and I'll keep your number in case I can use your services in the future.
Responsive, honest and very helpful - diagnosed and fixed our garbage disposal quickly. Thank you! True to his business' name, Eddy was extremely honest and straightforward with us.
The issue that we were facing was related to water clogging everywhere in our house, in all 3 of our bathrooms, in the toilets etc and it was clear there was some issue with the drainage. We took quotes from many plumbers and were quoted as high as $400.
Some of the plumbers even charged money for "diagnosis" so if we end up not choosing them we are still paying them for telling us what is wrong! Personally that is a rip off, but Eddy came and diagnosed our problem for FREE! And you know what he told us? That we don't need a plumber, we need to call the city of Santa Clara to deal with the issue since the tree on our property is likely the root cause. So we called the city and they unclogged our sewers for FREE and Eddy gave this advice for FREE !! Unheard of in today's world.
What can I say? Both Eddie and Juan did an outstanding job!! They came for an emergency plumbing issue and were extremely prompt. They showed up within the hour of being notified.
Issue was solved! I can't help but thank them enough for their help!!! Definitely recommended! Our toilet in the basement was clogged and we called #1 Honest Plumber for the service. Due the location of the cut-out box down in the basement, it's impossible to bring the big snake machine to properly clean the sewage pipe.
I really appreciate that Eddy had spent time to explain to me about the right way to fix the problem with some good recommendations. That's "Great Customer Service".
Thank you, Eddy. Eddy's team is awesome! He replaced our main clean out and installed a two-way cleanout at our old house, including coordinating the work with the city, and got it done super fast.
He has done other work for us, and on multiple occasions we called him with questions or requests where we thought we needed a plumber and he provided advice over the phone free of charge. His team is honest and does great work, I highly recommend him.
Thank you some much Bo and Mike as a team!!! I never expected too much for the assigned work by my home warranty company- however- they are super professional and friendly and helpful and doing great job and helped me to fix the problem perfectly. Because they are so true so good, I am more than willing to share my experience: 1 Bo called me before he departed providing ETA; 2.
He and Mike came with mask on and shoes covered- clean and considerate; 3. They inspected the problem and resolved the first one and also provided suggestion to avoid things happen again.
4 After fixing the first issue, Bo and Mike helped to replaced the tube and it was super fast! 5. after that they cleaned everything, 6 before they left they td me it was free ( $75 onetime services fee was charged in advance,only!) and said goodbye.
very very friendly and helpful - 100% recommendation of Bo and Mike. Eddie is amazing and honest! I called for some assistance and unfortunately wasn't able to help me, but said he would help me tomorrow if I can't get it resolved.
Quick callback from Eddie to discuss the plumbing issue over the phone. He provided his honest feedback of the work, expectation and pricing.
We set up the earliest appointment available for next morning. Simon showed up ontime and was very professional.
He made his initial assessment of the damage and discussed the recommendations. Once he removed the toilet and snaked the drainage, clog was cleared.
We did not actually have to cut through the ceiling as the damage was not as bad as we initially thought. Simon finished the Job in less than 2 hours and left the area cleaned.
Very happy with Eddie and Simon and will highly recommend! Eddie (the #1 honest plumber) is worth every one of the five-star reviews listed here. I called Eddie when I found that all of the toilets were backed up in our house.
He answered in two rings and was at the house in literally half an hour. Once I told him the symptoms, he immediately cleaned out my main sewer line in an hour fixing the problem, and told me that my main sewer line pipe under my front yard may be problematic, and that he'd be able to fix it permanently.
He told me that the cost of the sewer line cleanout could be applied to the cost of the replacement of the main line (basically giving me a free cleanout). Given how honest and upfront he was about everything from the get-go, my fiance and I had no qualms letting him replace the main line pipe.
He brought a crew over the next day who started digging like crazy, and sure enough, the main line pipe was COMPLETELY broken, and only held together by the dirt in the ground. Apparently that pipe was an "orangeburg pipe" which means it was installed in over fifty years ago, and had never been replaced.
In two days, they were able to replace the pipe with a brand new ABS pipe which should prevent plumbing headaches for years to come. After the pipe was installed, his crew promptly covered the hole back up and surfaced a cleanout that we didn't know about before.
Eddie also made sure all inspections were cleared (they were) and stayed in communication the whole time. I'm so glad I found Eddie and called him--his knowledge, intuition, and amazing work may have prevented us from so many plumbing headaches down the line.
If you have any plumbing needs, stop reading and dial his number now! I had an emergency with my broken shower faucet on Wednesday evening @ 7pm and Eddie answered the call. If I left the faucet on, I'd have water damage in the house, so I had no option but to shut off the mains and wait for a pro to re-install a shower faucet with the valve.
Eddie was helpful in telling me the part to go buy from Lowes and phone diagnose the problems. He directed Simon to come next morning at 8am.
Simon came on time, and addressed the issue by early afternoon. Thank you for the timely help, esp during COVID.
Simon was very professional, kept his mask on, and maintained safe distancing. To summarize, things I liked: * professional job * on-time * responsive * knowledgeable * "1 year guarantee" for their work * Pricing inline with market rates Eddie is the best! He and his team helped with two projects this year for properties I manage and he is indeed honest and has fair pricing.
Communicates well to let me know what the problem is, what needs to be done to fix it, as well as what to expect in the future. Will continue to call him first for future plumbing issues! WOW! Just wow! If I could give 10 stars to Eddie & his team at #1 Honest Plumber, I would! Recently my kitchen sink had been making loud gurgling noises at night.
Eddie came out yesterday to inspect everything and we figured out the culprit was our sewing piping, which was getting clogged up. Our house is from the late 1950s, so it came as no surprise to us that our piping had wear and tear.
During our session, Eddie was extremely thorough with what our issue was and the various options we had. He came back earlier today with two other helpers.
He technically could've done it by himself, but wanted to do the job right and, honestly, we admired this extra step. Pricing wise, Eddie was very fair! In fact, given that I've been out of a job due to COVID-19, Eddie gave us different options with varying level of work to help with our budget.
We opted for the temporary solution for now, which was to snake our sewage piping. Once things get back to normal, we definitely plan on reaching out to Eddie and his team again to permanently repair and replace our piping.
For now, my wife and I are just happy we found a solid go-to-person for our plumbing needs. UPDATE: Unrelated to our plumbing issue, but our A/C unit stopped working today as well (home repairs seem to never end).
I had mentioned it to Eddie and, surprisingly, he just called right now to follow-up to see if it works. If not, he could help me find someone who can possibly help.
That's TRUE CUSTOMER SERVICE right there! Not even plumbing related, but wanted to call regardless to make sure we were taken care of. This is how you get customers for life.
Once more, special thanks to Eddie and his team! My wife and I cannot recommend them enough!'''.
