#1 Honest Plumber
Company Overview
#1 Honest Plumber boasts a decade of expertise in clearing drains, excelling in underground pipe bursting with the advanced x30 pipe bursting system powered by a 14hp Kohler engine. We employ 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 ensure the highest quality service for my clients. What sets my company apart from larger firms is I have all my equipment completely, which allows me to maintain low overhead costs and not overcharge for my customers. On top of that, I possess the x30 underground pipe bursting equipment.
I’m Ed, a lifelong resident of the Bay Area. I started out as an apprentice roofer, and once I gained experience, I became a journeyman roofer, overseeing my own teams. Afterward, I transitioned to concrete work, starting from the ground up and eventually became a concrete finisher. Now, I have been in plumbing for 12 years. I specialize in drain cleaning and trenchless pipe bursting, cherishing my work and believing firmly in an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. There’s nothing quite like a handshake to confirm an agreement.

Recommended Customer Reviews

Quick to respond, good advice, and a quick repair.I called them in after another plumber seemed scammy. Not only did they give me good advice and service, they did an excellent job working a special request through my home warranty program.

Ed keeps a good sense of humor, in times when I, and probably most other customers, are stressed. He knows what he is doing. He communicated with me during the window when he promised to show up to give me an update on his status. When he arrived, he got to work and fixed my clogged main sewer line. He understood the predicament I had and fixed it quickly. His prices were reasonable.

Ed is super nice and good to work with.
We had a slow drainage issue and he took care of it quickly.
If you have questions he will listen and offer some advice as well.
True honest five star plumber.

I hired Eddie of #1 Honest Plumber to unclog a kitchen drain. I could tell Eddie would be honest and be cost-effective from the first call. He picked up the phone personally, unlike several other plumbers that use call agents who don't have domain expertise. After I described the issue, Eddie gave me a reasonable quote that reflected his expertise.
I scheduled an appointment for two days after the phone call. Eddie arrived at my home one hour early. He inspected my kitchen drain and used a 50-ft snake, the best tool for the job. Unfortunately this did not solve the issue. Eddie said that the clog was inside the condo building, not in my unit, and recommended I work with my HOA. Eddie didn't charge a dime since he couldn't solve my problem.
The HOA ended up repairing the issue. Sure enough, it was deep inside the building, and it was gnarly. (Black gunk sprayed out of a release point and thoroughly soiled the commercial plumber.)
Thanks Eddie for being fair and honest. I will call him again for a future plumbing problem.

Your business belongs to #1 Honest Plumber! Ed is very honest and generous with his time. I was in desperation because the recently installed water heater (from another plumber...The Honest Plumbers) wasn't working and I couldn't get ahold
of them. Ed came out free of change and at least got the pilot light back on so I could take a shower. Thank you Ed, I was overwhelmed by your kindness.

I do NOT believe these reviews! The worst service ever! Must be relatives writing the five-star reviews......not good! Is Ed the only plumber they have? No! I don't see the mention of the other names that still work there, I bet I know why.....too much bad press already and yes, a lot of them were fired but many stayed on. Not 'Honest' at all!

Fantastic service, on time, professional, and solve the problem instantly. I would definitely hire them again.

ED was quick and professional. With the right tool, he was able to unclog the pipe in minutes. He is an honest plumber!

I called Ed twice because of plumbing problems at my rental- both times I had to cancel because my husband thought he could DIY it. After this, a 3rd problem occurred and I called him again. My hubby means well but it was time for a pro. Ed was totally gracious, fixed the problem and charged a very fair price. He's also a very easy going and pleasant guy to deal with- thanks Ed!

I called Ed on a Monday and he said he'd be able at noon the next day and he showed up on time and did a fantastic job in record time! He took the time and care to explain what the issue was and explained what to do in the future if something arises.
I've worked with a lot of professional service providers from plumbers to electricians and I've always had a ""eh"" experience. But with Ed I had a great experience. I couldn't recommend him more!
If you have a plumbing issue, call #1 Honest Plumber before anyone else. Ed is the man!
