Review and analyze now for company Bob the Plumber and provide the analysis in the discussed format for the following reviews: '''Yesterday, water was coming out of the overflow valve of my Kenmore water softener, causing a slipping hazard in the garage. My Kenmore technician suspected there was a leak in O-rings inside the bypass valve connecting the inlet and outlet lines to the water softener (which is under repair).
He recommended that I contact a plumber. When I asked Ryan and Brooke if they could come immediately, they were able to squeeze me into their already overloaded schedule.
Instead of replacing the push-knob bypass valve with another one, we all agreed to install 3 ball valves - one each for the inlet, outlet, and bypass lines. When the new pipes and valves were installed the next day, not only did the leaking stop, but the configuration was truly a work of art! Very nice! I'm very pleased with the work.
I would recommend Ryan and Brooke to anyone seeking a competent, experienced plumber who takes pride in his work and in fulfilling the requests of his customers. Well done, Ryan and Brooke! :) Great service! I had Bob clean out our tankless water heater.
He was on time, very informative and just a nice guy. His pricing also was very fair for the service that was provided.
I definitely will use him in the future. Great service, even came earlier than expected.
Great service and price. I will definitely call Bob the plumber for any plumbing needs.
Installation of Moen Flo Automatic Water Shut Off Valve which I purchased from Costco.com. This company is owned by Ryan (who will be your plumber with nearly two decades in the trade) and his wife Brooke (who is the scheduler).
Both are kind, honest, and unassuming. Personalized service; no huge team/overhead to support.
Ryan came in with the most competitive quote, beating out three other highly rated plumbers. Attention to detail: Before installation, Ryan tested my pressure relief valve (important for the Moen Flo to work correctly).
To fit my valve at my water main, I needed to add more length. Ryan does plumbing the classic way, by sweating and soldering the copper pipes as long as the space allows for it.
(I much preferred this over press fitting that other plumbers use). His lines were clean and well soldered and he even re-tightened / re-checked the press fittings that a previous plumber had done on a different section of the line.
I plan to be a repeat customer. My first reaction when I found out "Bob", the original owner of Bob the Plumber and his wife had retired, was, oh no, I hope the new plumber "Ryan" is as good as "Bob".
Worry not! Ryan and his wife Brooke have proven twice that they're up to the task! My first call to them months back was for a major bathroom leak that Ryan quickly found the source. He eliminated the leak, he further discovered that floor structure was wet with the start of mold.
Ryan recommended a remediation and restoration company who ultimately repaired the damage. Thanks to Ryan for not only the leak repair but for his thorough inspection of the flooring structure bringing to light the major damage.
My second call was for a slow drain and leak and again Ryan was punctual and quick to eliminate the problem. Ryan suggested using an eco-friendly product to keep all my drains clear, he certainly is looking after his customers.
Kudos to Ryan and Brooke, they're definitely a great team. Ryan and Brook were a great team.
It was a pleasure dealing with them - very knowledgeable, great communication, really nice work. Ryan installed a whole-home water filtration system and he also installed an elaborate shower fixture I couldn't quite manage myself.
I'll be calling them again for future projects - recommended I needed to have a garbage disposal replaced. I purchased two units since one had a longer warranty and more horsepower.
Friends of mine had recommended Bob. They used him a few times and really liked his work.
They said he's honest if he can do the job or not. Bob was on vacation when I called so I left a message.
He called texted me on Sunday asking if I still needed a plumber. I asked for the quoted price and his availability.
He said he could be there by 2pm on Monday. Bob called to see if he could come earlier since he was able to so I agreed and had my tenant available to let him do the work.
He finished before I arrived. He installed the 1/2 hp instead of the 3/4 hp.
He explained that the 3/4 would have destroyed the sink since it wasn't that big or strong enough to handle the horsepower. (I loved that he explained the reasoning to which one was installed.
I'll explain a previous experience in a moment.) Overall I'm happy about his work and will keep him on my books for future repairs. (I had a different plumber (California Plumbing) the week before who said that the install of the new unit was missing a piece and that it would take him an hour to go to Home Depot to get it.
Home Depot is less than a 10 min drive (less than 2 miles.) His price was going to double so I declined. Plus, he said I could install either unit when I learned from Bob that this would have destroyed the sink with the 3/4hp and it would probably cost me over $1k to fix it if I had this guy install it.) Call Bob for your plumber needs.
Honest guy who knows what he's doing. I saw Bob the Plumber's excellent Yelp reviews and called about the slow draining tub in our 1915 historical home.
Brooke scheduled the appointment with me quickly and she and Ryan came out and took a look. Ryan had to dig into the tile near the tub to access the plumbing, only to discover that the tile was laid above four inches of concrete and the plumbing was encased in concrete as well.
What we all initially assumed to be a relatively small job turned into a big one. Ryan worked through the complications every step of the way, determined to clear the drain line.
After much work, he did it! The job cost grew with all his efforts, as it should've, but not unreasonably and he always kept me informed. Ryan and Brooke are awesome.
I'll definitely call upon them for any plumbing needs in the future! Bob the Plumber is excellent to work with. (FYI Ryan is the actual plumber with Brooke handling the business part of it).
The service was fast, extremely responsive, friendly, TRUSTWORTHY and affordable. We had a leak in our home in a very difficult place to fix.
He provided his recommendation and referrals of other companies that can come in and assist with getting the entire project fixed (parts of kitchen removed etc). A pinhole leak can cause major problems and they were on-it! I felt I was in good hands with Ryan and Brooke.
Highly recommend this team and will come back to them for projects big and small.... Just installed a commercial faucet in our kitchen.
Came out in a day, communicated well and did a professional job. Looks awesome and works really well! Great company and am glad I found them.....
Bob retired and I was nervous about it but Ryan came to the rescue. He and his wife were on time and up front with pricing.
We'd hire them again! Ryan came and fixed our toilet flange and reset toilet. He was nice and did a great job for a fair price.
Ryan and his wife were communicative, prompt, clean, and fair with their pricing. Not as cheap as Bob but worth it.
5 star service. So this morning on my routine cleaning and laundry day go out to my garage to find my freaking water heater was leaking so I go on Yelp to look up a plumber that could come and take a look at my water heater for either a tepair/ new install and there was a few to choose from but I decided to go with BOB THE PLUMBER I call at like 830 in the morning and got a call back right away which was a surprise cause I know it was out of the normal business hours but lucky for me they were out and came right over gave me a reasonable quote so I decided to just go with it..
it is a husband and wife family owned business and BOB THE PLUMBER DID AN AMAZING JOB AND THE WATER HEATER DOES LOOK REALLY NICE !! Never knew a water heater could look so pretty and he re routed a pipe that went to a maintenance sink in the garage . ..
He does great work and the communication is spot on I used to call the previous Bob the plumber and was happy with his prompt service and reasonable price. I was a little nervous because of the new ownership but was pleasantly surprised that quality, integrity and value are still an important part of their business.
I had a difficult job that Ryan the new owner confirmed, a broken flange on a cast iron toilet pipe. He figured out the solution quickly.
It involved cutting the cast iron pipe with a saw. I was impressed with how fast he worked and his knowledge (he had completed a long apprenticeship).
I'll be a repeat customer! Bob the Plumber has now become Ryan the Plumber. Had an issue with kitchen and laundry backup.
Called in the afternoon and they were able to squeeze me for the next morning. Excellent response excellent work and totally nice and honest.
Highly recommend and his wife Brooke was a great helper, just like Bob the Plumber's wife. Ryan and Brooke are awesome! Had to swap a wall mounted toilet for a regular toilet.
They showed up on time, started working right away and did an amazing job. After they were done, they cleaned their work area.
Very professional. My husband and I are very pleased! THX!!!! Without a doubt, I highly recommend Ryan Heafey for ALL your plumbing problems.
I would've given 10 STARS if possible! He is extremely knowledgeable about plumbing issues, efficient, and professional. Today, he replaced a toilet and fixed the faucet in one of the bathrooms.
Ryan is meticulous about his work. The PRICES are VERY REASONABLE.
Thank you again Ryan! You've made a customer for LIFE. My friend recommended Bob the Plumber (Ryan and Brooke) and I am so happy she did! I couldn't be more please with their plumbing service AND excellent customer service.
If there is one thing you need in life it's a good plumber and I found one (actually two) with Ryan and Brooke! Thank you for your attentive and immediate response to my plumbing dilemma. I will see you soon when you continue with the next plumbing project! Best, Karen M.
I broke my kitchen drain and called up Brooke and Ryan. They asked for some pictures, gave me an assessment of what they could respond with, and got me scheduled for a drain repair.
They were quick and efficient, I couldn't have asked for a better service call. The "real" Bob the plumber has retired.
Ryan, the guy he sold his business to, recently replaced our garbage disposal. He did respond sorta quickly, within 2 days, and he adequately installed the new one.
What I wasn't ready for was the up-selling. He said our 'angle drops' were old and needed to be replaced asap.
(200.00 per sink) then he quickly back pedaled and said they couldn't be replaced due to the type of piping we have. Then he said we needed a pressure tank on the hot water heater, and the valves to the water heater, and to the pressure regulator needed to be replaced, and we need a filtration system.
Yeah, I want the old Bob back. Woke up to leak in a pipe that flooded the wall/ceiling and floor.
Ryan came out within an hour on 12/30 and found the leak and replaced the pipe that was leaking. I contacted Ryan/Brooke to have our downstairs toilet replaced.
Ryan arrived on time and removed the old toilet, and noticed that the toilet flange was higher than the floor. To avoid water leakage and a wobbly toilet, he recommended we put tile in.
After everything was completed, Ryan returned and installed the new toilet and our small half bath looks really nice now. Brooke and Ryan were very patient and professional.
They did a thorough job and communicated the process. It's clear that they care about their work and the customer.
They repaired the bottom of my sink as well as the water pressure in the faucet. I can finally stop worrying about leaking and further damage.
The cost matches the value of work. I recommend! this review is different from my original one a few years ago.
I called to get a toilet replaced and asked if it was Bob. Some guy said "I could be", hus voice was NOT Bob.
I told him which toilet I wanted and he said "you go buy it, I'll install it", very hurried and un-professional and unfriendly. No thanks, I miss big Bob in the previous photo, nice guy.
Ryan thank you for your help yesterday, you and your wife are going to be the only ones I call for all of my plumbing needs. You both were personable, knowledgeable and most of all reasonable with your prices.
Thank you again. Highly recommend Bob the Plumber, the team of Ryan and Brooke are awesome!! Professional, prompt, friendly and efficient.
They get the job done, they are our go-to for all our plumbing needs!! Brook and Ryan were so accomodating, quick to respond, and made great recommendations to our best interest. I would highly recommend them! Great communication, on time, personable.
Good experience. Will hire again.
Highly recommend!! Absolutely went above and beyond for us. We are blessed to have met such honest and wonderful people.
Very professional and the work was on point! I definitely will recommend 100%!!!!!! This company has great customer service, and workers are kind and efficient. If you are in need of a plumber, this company is the way to go! This plumbing team really has a dedication to their clients! They are efficient, friendly and get the job done! Will use again Thank you Ryan and Brooke, from Bob the Plumber, for replacing my water heater in my garage.
The job looks fantastic and is all now up to code, including all new valves and lines. They also did the hot/cold valves for my washer.
I would hire them again in the future if something comes up. Great communication.
Say hi to Dyna for me! Very responsive; we messaged Bob the morning we received the part for the water heater that was showing a chamber failure error. Bob took care of it that afternoon and the rate was reasonable.
They've services my home's plumbing needs several times. Always fast, reliable and straightforward.
Fixed a leaky toilet. Also had him inspect our others and he made some minor adjustments.
Great that he came in the time expected (even called to check if he could come over sooner). Most love that he does what needs to be done without suggesting unnecessary work.
All around nice, reasonably priced, honest, and fast--basically everything you look for in a plumber. Of course, I can't speak for a more complicated job.
Nonetheless, we will be putting him on our first to-call list for next time. First and foremost, Bob the Plumber is what has become increasingly rare in the modern plumbing/electrical/carpentry world: an upfront and honest craftsman.
I wanted to install a stainless-steel utility sink in my garage, but I didn't have a drain or dedicated water source. I did have a small laundry room on the other side of the wall from the spot I'd place the sink (however, the floor in the laundry was a foot higher than the garage floor).
Bob came out and assessed the situation. He patiently described the extensive work that would have to be done, especially the problems in installing a drain pipe for the sink.
In layman's terms, he explained what made my particular job difficult and the extensive modifications that would be required. I asked, is it worth doing? Bob gave a cost-to-benefit analysis and told me it was not practical.
There you go, an honest and straightforward answer. So while I'm not getting the utility sink I wanted, I did find my new plumber.
BOB!!! The great reviews on YELP are real! This man has been a blessing to me & my plumbing issues! Being a home owner one of the main things you need is a good honest plumber & I lucked out & got one, good OL Bob! First I like to say I called 7 plumbers & 3 of them were name Bob, so if you have a little boy & his name is Bob he just might be a plumber one day & if he is hopefully he's as good as this Bob. Any who out of those 7 plumbers only 3 called back one recommended me to another one because he was off that day, the other guy never answered his phone or called back I guess he was off too.
3 of them who I did talk too charged me more on weekends & charged me more then Bob charged me & Bob charged the same on weekdays or weekends! I also communicated with Bob on Yelp & phone, very pleasant & professional. I called because my washer machine was backing up with water he told me it might be because of my garbage disposal because their connected so I took care of that myself (I'm a bit handy) & I asked if he can come snake my washer & check my water heater & toilet that both had slow leaks.So he came right on time & he fixed my washer in less then an hour & told me what I already knew I needed a new water heater, I knew that would cost money no way around it but his price was better then the other plumbers.So I made an appointment for it, his really nice wife came with him & she was very kind & very helpful to him.
I saw someone complain about her being with him, bro her being there helps him work faster so that saves you money so stop complaining! He did my water heater for the price he told me, he brought the heater installed it & took the old one out of my house then fixed & adjusted my toilet & didn't charge me just charged me for the water heater job! At the end they cleaned up after themselves at a timely fashion I thanked them & they went on their way. Fast, clean & efficient! I found my plumber & in my opinion the BEST PLUMBER in the SouthBay.
In a world where there is a lot of plumbers make sure you ask a lot of questions & do your research & call Bob the Plumber he'll be honest with you & help you. Affordable, honest, professional & efficient, what else can you ask for! I'll be calling Bob soon to install some new sink faucets for me & I recommend him highly.
Thanks Bob you sir are awesome & thank you for serving our country in the Navy! I only call Bob the Plumber whenever we have issues with plumbing and/or toilet and sink repairs. We have lived in two homes now in the past 12 years and Bob has been the only plumber that my family trusts.
He never fails to maintain and apply his extensive professionalism, efficiency, expertise and responsiveness every single time we need him. He never overcharges for his labor and parts needed--he has been fair and honest on what he charges.
I dread the day Bob will finally decide it's time to retire, but he has been keeping his business close to his family--over the years he has been showing the ropes and know-how to his wife and daughter as well. I can't say enough about how much I respect Bob and his business.
Outstanding Service! Fast response, on time, good pricing and fast service. Absolutely recommend ! Replaced water pressure valve, main water valve and provided tankless water heater maintenance.
All done in less than 2 hrs.! Thanks Bob !! Bob did an excellent job. Called him up, he was in the neighborhood doing another job, and he squeezed me in.
Replaced an old gas valve. Was in and out in about thirty minutes.
I have used Bob several times and have no complaints. I had a couple of plumbing projects I'd been putting off (the water shut off to the house was no longer working and a hose bib needed replacing but I couldn't get it off).
I'm not a procrastinator by nature but the last time I had a plumber out I had a major disagreement with the company. In the end they refunded part of the overcharge but it left a bad taste in my mouth and a wariness of plumbers and the potential for price gouging.
After reading a recommendation for Bob the Plumber on the NextDoor app I decided to stop procrastinating and give him a try. Lucky for me he had some time between appointments and was able to come out right away, along with his helper wife.
He gave me a totally reasonable quote for the jobs and quickly set to work. Before I knew it he was done.
His work ethic and honest pay for his skill and time have restored my faith in plumbers. Well, this plumber, anyway.
I hope he stays on the job for a long time since it's always good to be able to count on someone you trust. Sent a photo of the project which involved a water valve replacement in a confined space.
Bob replied quickly and gave us a VERY competitive estimate which we agreed to. He was able to fit the job in the next day and completed it with minimum fuss in a very professional manner.
I highly recommend Bob the Plumber the next time you require assistance for your plumbing needs. The handle of our shower broke, so water wont stop flowing.
I called bob in the morning and he came in really quick. He's with Sylvia so i felt more comfortable because the problem is in our bedroom bath.
He was really fast in repairing the handle. He asked for a very reasonable price.
The handle was very smooth when turning it, much better than the old one that broke. I definitely recommend them.
I have used Bob the plumber twice now, and both times I've been very pleased with how quickly he was able to come and with the job he does. He does quality work, for a reasonable price, and I highly recommend him for any of your plumbing needs.
on april 18 /2023 jason came to my home to fix the leaking vale. he is friedly and very professonal , did a good job , fast, and cost are very resonal price.
i am very happy for service, hightly recommond call bob the plumber if you need the service. If you want the very best.
Bob the plumber is one you want, excellent service, on time. Highly recommend.
We had a slow leak coming from somewhere upstairs which caused drywall damage in our kitchen dripping down through the wall. I was worried that It would be major work and being a day before thanksgiving, quotes and work would be outrageous.
Plumbers we called wanted $125 just for a quote! Based on yelp and nextdoor reviews we contacted Bob the Plumber on Black Friday and made an appointment that day. Within an hour, he located the problem, which was behind another wall he had to cut open, repaired the leak and even installed a new shower head we were going to install ourselves.
He said it will take me 2 minutes and it was done. Him and his wife are real nice, and do honest work.
The cost of repair was a relief due to the drywall ceiling damage the water caused. I am grateful that we caught it in time and that his prices were very reasonable.
I would highly recommend his services. Bob called before he showed up, he said he'll be early which was even better.
Very reasonable price for the work he did, to snake a kitchen drain with a line out access, it wasn't clogged it was just slow. Took him a few minutes to do, might have taken him more time to do aftercare to clean up his workspace before they left.
I posted for quotes on yelp to maybe 100 plumbers, half responded in 10 minutes, out of that maybe 20 gave an actual price for the job and bob the plumber was the most reasonable. And no unwanted advise to hydro jet, or send a consultant, or minimum hourly rates.
Other plumbers if you are reading this, if someone on yelp ask for a specific very simple job just tell them your best price offer, because the message was probably sent to 100 other plumbers. I learned a plumbing lesson a few years ago.
Different plummers have different expertise and equipment. I was looking for a new plumber to clear a main drain on the house, and found Bob via Yelp.
I called and he answered the phone right away, and after listening to my problem told me that he would like to call me back in about 10 minutes when his was finished with his current job. About 10 minutes later he called back and asked a few more questions.
He then told me that I needed to call a drain cleaning company (That work with 3" pipes). Thank you Bob for your honesty and for your advice.
You saved me a great deal of wasted time and money. I used Yelps' "Request a Quote" system and within a few minutes was able to find a plumber who could handle the problem.
Everything was fixed a 'flowing' again within a few hours. Thanks Bob.
I asked for several quotes and Bob was the most honest, fair one I got. Unfortunately, he was out of town and could not schedule anything until much later.
My takeaway from my interaction with Bob is this. The next time I need a plumber, he will be the first one I call.
Bob the Plumber to the rescue! I had a clogged toilet last November and spent a lot of money trying to fix it myself. Bought an auger, a special plunger, chemicals....nothing worked.
Finally called Bob. He had somewhere to go that day but he fit me in early in the morning.
He and his wife came in, fixed the problem within minutes, and even cleaned my toilet. I wish I had just called them in the first place and saved myself the time and money.
He charged 85 bucks, which is super worth it for me. I had a recent issue again and called Bob right away.
Unfortunately, this time the problem was bigger than he could fix. So he only charged $20 for coming in....which we again found more than reasonable.
He told us exactly what was wrong and what kind of service to look for. I'm so glad there are people like Bob and his wife because I sure as hell don't know much about toilets and plumbing.
Bob and his wife were very professional and did a fantastic job! Highly recommend his services. Bob is an excellent plumber and very knowledgeable on what he does.
Very punctual. I had my tankless water heater flushed and added a new filter.
Did a wonderful job. Highly recommend this plumber.
Thanks for the quick response time and recommendations with our drain issue! When the need arises, I will definitely call on you again. Bob (and his wife) are trustworthy, efficient, professional and dependable.
Bob has done many smaller jobs for us over the years (ex. fix leaks, unclog toilets), and recently I decided to replace all three toilets in the house.
I got 5 other estimates for the job through Yelp, then remembered that I hadn't called Bob to get a quote from him. His quote was best; he and his wife and came quickly to do the job; and they knocked it out the whole job in less than 2 hours (and hauled away the old toilets).
I also needed a water spigot in the garage replaced and he came back to do that the next day. I am ALWAYS calling Bob the Plumber first for any future plumbing jobs in my house.
We needed to replace a toilet and repair two leaking valves, one in a shower, the other an outside bib. We have used Bob in the past, and he did his usual outstanding service.
On-time (actually early), super-fast work in a very friendly way. He is our "Go to Guy" for plumbing needs.
Can't go wrong hiring Bob The Plumber! Bob came to repair a leak in our toilet and was on time as promised and did a great job at a good price. I asked for several quotes and his was the most honest and fair one I received.
I was very pleased with the quick work and will use him again! Ernie came out and fixed our dishwasher air gap and found a problem not addressed by our dishwasher installer. We are very happy with this job and he is very neat, left nothing for me to clean up.
We have hired him for a more intensive problem and will update on completion. At this point I would highly recommend him! Thanks for an awesome job and quick response.....also fair price! FAST Efficient Fair Friendly I really don't think I will ever need to use anyone else It was 8 years ago, but I'm still upset.
I hired Bob to put in a water filter system in my garage. He had to put a pipe through the wall from the outside.
He must not have had the proper tool to do this so he used a sledgehammer to make a hole. Every time I see the ugly hole I get upset, so I just texted him.
Thought just an apology would help me put this aside, but all I got were excuses. I sent a request to four or five plumbers over the weekend due to a leaking shower cartridge.
I wanted to get it fixed, but didn't want to pay a huge premium for weekend work. A previous local plumber I've used (and like) wanted a major premium to come out on a weekend.
Bob was quick to respond and came out within an hour. He quoted a reasonable rate and stuck to it.
He didn't complain when the screw to remove the handle was stripped and just handled it, only adding $10 to the bill to cover the replacement handle. He cleaned up after himself and was on his way quickly.
I'd definitely use Bob again. Licensed and insured: two words every HOA management company would like to hear before a plumber steps foot into one of their units.
Bob was quick and cheap! I'm basing this off of quote I received from Courtesy. They were going to charge me $850 plus the cost of the hardware for what Bob did for $251 including hardware.
It would've taken Courtesy 4-6 hours, Bob 2 hours.... Your choice Yelpers...
Nobody wants to need a plumber. Stuff happens.
I hoped Bob would live up to his reviews today when I needed a plumber. He did.
The man is an absolute PRO. He fixed my shower fixture and replaced my pressure valve in record time at at an affordable & fair price.
If you need a plumber and choose anyone other than Bob, your nuts. Great service, reasonable pricing, and does great work.
I highly recommend Bob the plumber for any of your plumbing needs. We had a leak in our wall and he was able to detect the leak and have it fixed in only 2 hours! I needed a new shut off valve under my kitchen sink.
I am a DIYer and just couldn't get it off. I finally called Bob after reading reviews.
The plumbing was so tight and the hole cut into the cabinet so small that the only possible fix was to repair the old valve. Bob was able to remake the entire valve.
Great work! I have another frozen valve and Bob isn't available for 2 days. I'll wait till he gets back to have the work done! I called Bob for a quote to replace corroded valves for my washer and dryer.
Texted some photos and he texted back on a quote. Reasonable price.
Arrived exactly on time and finished the work in 30 mins. He mentioned an hour.
Very professional and I will use again. I have used Bob a couple times in the last few years.
He changed our water pressure regulator and helped with a couple other plumbing issues at the time. He returned just today to check on an issue.
I thought it was going to be my water pressure again. He checked the pressure, made a couple adjustments, and then said that everything is fine for now.
Who does that? And to top it off, he didn't even charge me this visit. I don't know if that's his protocol or if that is something you can expect him to do, but that is pretty much unheard of for me.
I kind of feel bad just letting him go without paying him. I am paying him back the favor by writing this review, referring when friends are in need of a plumber and being a return customer when we do have issues.
Thanks, Bob! Over a decade ago, I called Bob off a craigslist post. As a property manager, I can't count the number of other (different trade) techs I've gone through owing to incompetence, over-charging, apathy, or any number of other documentable reasons.
Not Bob. He's solved problems with picky tenants.
He's solved problems with slovenly tenants. Big problems.
Small problems. Water heaters.
Sink faucets. Stem valves.
Pressure regulators. Leaks.
Not actually leaks. Waste lines.
Gaskets. Anglestops.
Gunk. Muck.
The shits. He's found corners to cut on rentals and elevated the marketability of sales.
He's always had solutions. He's always stood behind his work.
He hasn't flinched when I try to pinch pennies--embraced it even! Never had a problem. All of it: solved, by Bob.
Just an invoice. No whining.
The only hesitation I have in leaving this review is that, once Bob realizes just how much value he adds compared to his competition, my clients might not get *quite* the deal they have been. It's getting harder and harder to find someone willing to provide honest labor for an honest wage.
That's all Bob's ever given. Thank you Bob.
Bob is a corteous plumbee that goes to the point, gets his job WELL done and is ready to leave fast!! Have used his services quite a few times on different plumbing stuff, always a job well done. Wouldn't call anyone else.
Fast and friendly service, I highly recommend this business. He worked on my bathtub and toilet.
Bob came in to snake the tub however wasn't able to successfully drain it due to it being a bigger issue so he only charged $20 for travel and labor which was very reasonable. I also had a wall heated that I was scare was leaking, bob made it clear from the outset that heaters are not his speciality but he ended up curing the gas to the heated anyway.
He came and did the job in less than 10 minutes. Great service Responsive, honest, top-notch quality, and unbelievable service.
I will use Bob the Plumber every time! Bob the Plumber helped us on multiple occasions on short notice. The first instance was when we had problems with our disposal leaking and it turns out the flip company that did our home cut corners and improperly installed the pipes underneath the sink.
The second time was an issue with our bathroom; the valve under the sink split causing water to spray everywhere almost flooding our bathroom. Bob was at our place within 20 minutes.
Not only did he fix the issue but kept the water damage to a minimum and installed a new valve that was much higher quality than what the flippers used to install the sink. Hands down a true pro and always has the customers interest in mind.
My wife and I are continuously grateful and refuse to use anyone else. Found Bob right on Yelp.
Partner called another plumber way unreasonable. Called a second guy too busy to even pencil me in and not personable.
Then came Bob, took my call, he said he had a couple jobs but can swing by after and to text him my details. He shows up, checks out the mess of a pipes we have, and said he'd have to come the next day after assessing the situation.
We got good vibes from him, his estimate was reasonable and he did the job. Good experience from start to finish.
Laid back and easy going, price was reasonable and didn't even tried to negotiate. He did a great job, thanks Bob Bob the Plumber and his crew were absolutely amazing! They responded right away and came in to do the job immediately.
My sink is working as good as new! I'm definitely keeping their number saved and recommending them to everyone I know. Bob, thank you for the service and for coming over to install our sink supplies with a quick notice.
Great service and honest and quick and knowledgeable, extremely recommend this plumber if you live in the south area of San Diego I had a leaking pressure regulator valve in my home, located in the garage. It failed such that pressure was very high throughout the house.
The water heater was leaking too through its pressure relief valve due to the high pressure. Bob came by in about 30 minutes on a Saturday even though he was on his way to a family function.
He had the exact part I needed and fixed everything in 15 minutes. I was amazed.
I'd recommend him to friends and family. If you need toilet work done Bob IS your guy.
Has never taken advantage of us. He's prompt and very kind.'''.
