Company Overview

With 10 years of experience, #1 Honest Plumber specializes in clearing of drains and trenchless pipe bursting using the high-performance x30 equipment driven by a 14-horsepower Kohler power source. Our Rigid monitoring system to thoroughly assess all 3 and 4-inch sewer lines.

While my company is just starting out, I work hard to provide the best possible service for my clients. What sets my company apart from larger firms is I own all my equipment completely, which allows me to maintain low overhead costs and not overcharge for my customers. Additionally, I have the x30 underground pipe bursting equipment.

I’m Ed, and I’ve spent my whole life in the Bay Area. I started out as an apprentice roofer, and from there, I became a journeyman roofer, overseeing my own teams. Subsequently, I transitioned to concrete work, beginning at the entry level and eventually became a concrete finisher. Currently, I have been in plumbing for 12 years. I excel in drain cleaning and trenchless pipe bursting, taking pride in my work and holding a strong belief in an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. Nothing compares to a handshake to finalize a contract.

Top 3 reasons you should look no further than #1 Honest Plumber for your essential plumbing needs:

1. Responsiveness -- Eddie was quick to respond by email, and also very friendly on the phone. He was able to schedule a same-day visit for us which was much appreciated.
2. Expertise and honest work ethic -- Simon was our man, and from the start he impressed us with his expertise. House painter painted over the exterior kitchen clean out? No problem. Simon could have easily charged more by switching to cabling the kitchen drain line from inside the house, but he knew just what to do to gain access, allowing us to make use of their current $99 drain special from accessible cleanout.
3. Respectful - No way to avoid this - plumbing is a dirty job! We were impressed when Simon took care to both set up his work area and clean up afterwards. Without us having to ask, he put on booties while indoors, brought his own disposal pan, and observed both the mask-wearing and social distancing precautions we have in place during this shelter-in-place mandate.

Thank you to #1 Honest Plumber for providing excellent service and pricing, and taking care of all our plumbing needs with just one call. We would not hesitate to recommend Simon and Eddie to anyone who finds themselves in need of a plumber.

We had a total back up everything in our house. I called Eddie because he had quickly come out to fix two plumbing problems for us in the past.

Because of sheltering in place I didn't want anyone in my house and he shared that caution. I knew I had had a clean out valve installed in the front of the house in the past, But previous plumbers hadn't been able to find it.

Eddie had his workman crawl under the house to look to see where the sewer line exited the house , he also used a camera in the line. By Using both of those techniques, he was finally able to find the clean out valve. It was under landscaping tarp, tanbark and dirt. When I had redesigned my front yard five years ago, the landscaper had stupidly covered it up!

Ed was then able to snake from the clean out valve to the city sewer line and pull out a bunch of old roots and dirt.

I'm probably am looking at having Ed replace the 60 year old clay section of the sewer line, but for now everything is working And I don't have to do it while we are all SIP!

Thank you Eddie!

Last night after dinner as we rinsed the dishes in the kitchen sink, to my dismay when I turned on the InSinkErator, water bubbled up out of the drain in both sinks. It took a long time to drain away. :-( We tipped 2 bottles of drain cleaner down the drain and waited an hour but it didn't fix it.

So this morning about 11 a.m. I phoned Eddie at #1 Honest Plumber, because he cleared our drains a few years back. Eddie immediately answered the phone (no voice mail system, which is great!) and was very clear, upbeat, articulate and friendly. He told me he'd send Simon and Angel sometime between 2pm and 4pm. They arrived at 1 pm (an hour earlier than estimated, which is much better than 2 hours later, which has happened with other vendors in the past). They had the whole thing analyzed, fixed and tested in under 30 minutes. They were professional, polite and approachable, they both wore masks and kept their distance. The whole thing, start-to-finish, was a very positive experience. I heartily recommend Eddie and his lads, we've had great experiences twice with them now.

Also: at the moment Ed is offering a special of $99 for this type of drain unclogging. So that strengthens my recommendation.

I called #1 Plumber early in the morning. The owner Eddie quickly returned my call and sent his worker, Simon?, in half an hour, to clear a drain from my kitchen. He fixed the problem within half an hour and also replaced a PVC pipe under the sink. Great work, fast response, very professional, very reasonable price. Many thanks to Eddie and Simon. They are indeed #1! Highly recommended!

Our kitchen sink has draining problem. Water is accumulated when I wash dishes. It is also overflowing to dishwasher, so I look around the plumbing service in my area for help. I am glad that I find #1 Honest plumber. Simon came to my home. He is very professionally on determining where the clogging might be occurred. After fixing the drainage problem, he also provides me the tips how to maintain the drainage in kitchen sink. I really appreciate the service!

I contacted several plumbers in the early evening and Eddie was the first to reply. Simon came early the next morning and was able to clear my clogged kitchen sink and replace my leaking garbage disposal very quickly. Thank you so much!

I called to get a quote to fix a jammed garbage disposal (which was on the lower end of average). But instead of charging me to come out, he very clearly explained to me over the phone, step by step, how to dislodge it myself with the disposal key. Took about 10 seconds of wiggling (after all my tugging on the stuck item the day before did nothing). Saved him a trip and saved me the money. He was definitely willing to come out, but I appreciate that he took the time to explain it to me instead. The other plumber I called just told me I would probably have to replace the whole unit. Thanks!!

Very professional job. Replacement of the sewage lateral was done without hick-ups. He has a variety of methods including trenchless sewage installation. Eddie estimated extent of the job accurately, his crew was very careful not to damage any water or gas communications in the process. Everything was completed and permitted as promised. Highly recommend for any plumbing/sewage work.

Eddie is great! I put out a request via Yelp and he responded within a few minutes. After a quick call describing my issue (main sewer line blockage), he stopped by in about half an hour. Super polite and personable. He helped clear the blockage quickly and also granted some advice on how to address potential future issues with our Orangeburg pipes. Would definitely recommend.
