Chung Wah Plumbing and Fire Protection

This guy is nice enough and prices are fair, but he severely scratched my toilet when he snaked it (see pics). I mentioned it to him and he just kind of mumbled something, not really taking any responsibility or apologizing.

Then he snaked my upstairs bathroom and broke a pipe, which resulted in water running all over the bathroom floor and water pouring out the light fixture in my kitchen downstairs.

Basically just a half ass attempt at service. You get what you pay for...

Steve and his crew helped me out in a pinch and delivered A+ results in record time. I called him one evening, he asked me to send him pics of the damage, he came out the next morning and provided me with a quote and that evening his team showed up and took care of the problem. Highly recommended based on my recent experience!

Highly recommend these guys. I called at least 10 companies all with outrageous prices to reinstall a toilet I took out to redo our floors. Some $300 for about an hour worth of work.

I happened to be walking by Chung Wah in my neighborhood and met the manager Steve. He was able to give me a fair price and had his guys finish reinstalling in less than an hour. Highly recommend them. Efficient and fair.

I've had Chung Wah do a variety of plumbing work in my house over the last 8 years. Steve is super knowledgeable and can pinpoint the issue within a few minutes. Most importantly, he's honest and trustworthy.

Any time I've had an emergency, Steve is extremely responsive and takes care of the issue the first time around.

I highly recommend Chung Wah for your any of your plumbing needs.

Steve was very helpful and walked us through what turned out to be an easy fix to get our bathtub running again. He was honest and friendly and we will definitely work with him again.

My mother-in-law lives in the Richmond District, and her water heater stopped working on Sunday. The pilot light would not stay lit. I called Chung Wah first thing on Monday morning. They replaced the thermocouple and had it fixed by noon. Great service and reasonably priced.

It's Tuesday before Thanksgiving. The guy I spoke with on the phone said 'you've backed yourself into a corner with the holiday coming up' Hey! I didn't cause the leaking pipes. Do NOT contact this company, especially if you are female!

I've used Chung Wah Plumbing for the past 12 years. They initially helped me with a major remodel, and subsequently with several smaller plumbing tasks along the way. Their employees are hard working and competent. Steve (their boss) is knowledgeable and responsive. Their hourly rates are comparable to other plumbers but the Chung Wah job will cost less because they work super fast. Why? Because they're busy and need to get to their next job. If you want to experience Asian work ethic, hire them and watch them work!

The water heater ball valve was leaking so I called Chung Wah Plumbing. The guy who answered the phone asked me if I wanted a morning or afternoon service call. I opted for afternoon so the guy said they would be out after 1PM.

At 2:20PM the two plumbers showed up. There was an older plumber and a young plumber. The young guy had good communication skills and the older plumber was hard to understand. I showed them the leaking ball valve at the water heater and they went back to their truck to get their tools and supplies. I told them they had to shut off the water in front of the house so that was the first thing they did.

It wasn't a difficult job so it didn't take long for the two of them to remove the old ball valve and install the new one. I have copper pipes in my seventy four year old house so the plumbers had to unsolder the leaking valve and sweat (solder) the new one in. After installing the new ball valve, they turned the water back on and I checked the pipes and ball valve for leaks. I saw no leaks. I told them I was satisfied and they packed up their tools and supplies and left.

The two guys did a beautiful, professional job. I was charged $100 for the job which I gladly paid.

If I have any more plumbing problems, I will definitely call Chung Wah again.
