Awesome Rooter & Plumbing

Igor F.

We had a great experience with Awesome Rooter. Always on time, great communication, reasonable pricing. I will recommend Emilio to anyone who needs plumbing help.

Awesome Rooter was the second company that came out to give me a quote on replacing a kitchen faucet. Not only did Emilio, the owner, came out to give me a quote and did the job himself, his quote was cheaper than the other highly rated company. Emilio was professional, responsive and did the job perfectly. I would highly use him again.

Emilio responded quickly to my Yelp message. He was able to come out quickly and repair my gas leak. Very professional and reasonably priced. Thank you Emilio.

Emilio was a pleasure to work with. Super responsive to my Yelp messages, within minutes. Showed up on time and fixed my gas leak at a reasonable price. He has a very laid back personality and a strong work ethic, a rare combo in this field!

Matt K.

Great service! On time and gave us a great special price - in our case, cleared out two drains for the price of one.

If ONLY every issue in my house were a plumbing problem!!! That is my only ""complaint' in working with Emilio-- that he has totally spoiled me and the rest of my SF duplex housemates and we don't want to ever have to call and deal with anybody else! Truly, cannot recommend him enough. But if you want more details...

I have read through the rest of the reviews on here as of today, and these glowing responses for Emilio's work and professionalism are no exaggeration and totally warranted for his:
-Outstanding communication, both the turnaround of any correspondence and his overall tone/temperament make it so easy to work with him
-His dumbfounding punctuality. no, seriously. And that's *while* he's going above and beyond to make himself available on short notice and at odd hours
-Attention to detail and commitment to exploring all reasonable lesser invasive/involved options first
-Totally reasonable rates and policies
-Just a lovely person to have working in your home for any moments when plumbing issues otherwise have you at your wits end!

I have been informally managing an older duplex in SF for many years now and, to date, Emilio has worked in my house on three occasions. The first was a few years ago when a drain in our garage was backed up and flooding. I don't even recall what the ultimate fix for that was. (Emilio could probably tell you! He remembered the project when I gave him my address for the second time I had to call him, years later!) The whole thing was awful. I'm pretty sure there was sewage in our garage. Emilio came out multiple times, and staying late into the evening to finish the job. I'm so relieved that I saved his phone number (and that it hadn't changed) over the years for when I had to call him recently because of a really bad leak in my ceiling from a shower in a unit above me. He was at my house within 24 hours and had the leak fixed within 25. And now, most recently, he has just attempted Plan B in resolving another leak between bathrooms in two units. We are on Plan B and he has given us at least one more baby step Plan C before Plan D when he cuts into the ceiling of one of the units to get access to the pipes, etc. He is also clearly not just nickle and diming us. He carefully shows and explains (in ways that a non-plumber can understand) the steps and gives us the option of how to proceed and he consolidates the incremental plans into his prices where reasonable (and it's been objectively completely reasonable). These issues can be SUCH a headache and I'm just so relieve to be working with him and to have him as a plumber life-line for anything that comes up. Thank you, Emilio!

I have owned this 120 year old house for 15 years. In that time I have had to call many plumbers, and have had to get many drains rooted. It has never been done as efficiently or inexpensively as it was done today by Emilio. Giant rootball removed, drains flowing again. Great communication and punctuality. I will call Emilio again.

We had water running under the kitchen faucet, it turned out to be a rusted through pipe. Emilio was able to drop by the same day, cut the old pipe, weld in a new one without a hitch. He even gave the faucet a quick tightening up, which fixed another minor leak.
Now we can use our kitchen sink again! Cant give Emilio enough praise for his professionalism, attention to detail and more then fair pricing. Id recommend him to anyone I know.

Emilio came out to record a sewer lateral video for me a couple of times. Both times he was very professional and outstanding in communication. He detected an issue with the lateral and identified exactly where the problem was. He's clearly very experienced and price is very reasonable. Definitely recommend him to everyone.

Had a drain clog for two days, requested a couple of quotes through Yelp and decided to give this company a try as Emilio was quick to respond. Scheduled him to come out the next day. He was friendly and professional. Recently started up on his own after 17 years with another company. He found our clean out and opened it. After a couple of flushes, the problem actually resolved itself. Emilio was nice enough not to charge me. I hardly ever write Yelp reviews but I thought he was worth supporting. Will definitely call him again for my next plumbing job.
