Dempster Plumbing

Dempster Plumbing completed a partial copper re-pipe for us. Bill and team was a pleasure to work with, and was very quick to respond to any issues. We will recommend Dempster to all our friends and neighbors!

I found Dempster Plumbing here at Yelp and due to the many good reviews here and elsewhere we decided to call them. We had a need to lower our gas line behind the stove. They were real professionals and patiently handled our concerns. Bill was able to explain the job to our satisfaction and stood by his work. In the end, we got quality service, great value and a great job done. Thank you!

Fine job for a fair price and fast service. One bathroom house. Replaced everything but the sheet rock. Would recommend them and use them again.

Bill was able to come within hours to bid on a sewer line replacement.
This was a difficult job, as the sewer line was broken 60ft away from the house built on a hill. The breakage was underneath a retaining wall and a tree, as determined by another plumber, whose snake and machine had gotten stuck in it. The job would involve a lot of digging. As it turns out, there was a gas line nearby, so it had to be hand digging.
Bill's crew was able to do the job for 40% of the bid of the first plumber that came in - and get their machine unstuck as well. The job was completed promptly. I will definitely call Bill again for other plumbing needs.

They did copper re-pipe for me. Everything completed in 3 days with excellent quality. The owner Bill is nice to work with too.

This was my first experience dealing with a broken pipe under a slab floor, in our home, a duplex Los Gatos.
It happened in the rental unit. A plumber was called & he jackhammered up part of the bathroom floor & replaced the old iron pipe. When he turned the water back on, guess what? The hot water pipe broke under the living room floor. The wonderful tenants were prepared for more jackhammering. However, we explored the internet and arranged for 3 estimates.

The price from all 3 companies was fairly close. So we decided to go with Dempster Plumbing, because the owner came out to do the estimate and was obviously the most knowledgable in showing us what needed to be done. He had a stable work crew and came out to the job everyday.

The crew was very courteous and covered everything in plastic as well as floors. They cleaned and vacuumed after the work day.
The dry wall guy did an outstanding job of repairing the walls and left them paint ready. They checked back to make sure that everything was working well.
Our job was not done in one day, but there was a lot to do and the quality and care is most important to us.

We discovered a water pipe leak at our house about a week before Christmas and was in need of immediate help to fix the slab leak. Due to the small size of the leak and the fact that we are on a concrete slab, the locator was unable to locate the leak and provided us a few options, the best of which was to do a full repipe through the attic (of course it was also the most expensive... ouch!!). We got a few quotes from different plumbers and decided to go with Dempster Plumbing after evaluating the price, work included, and when they could get the job done.

Bill and his crew came and were able to finish the job in four days, just in time for Christmas! Bill had to work on another job, so he wasn't personally there to do the work (he did come and inspect to make sure things were done right during and at the end of the job), but Eddie and the other guys did a good job with the repiping and installing new shower heads, valves, etc. Dempster Plumbing even offered to put in new bath/kitchen faucets and sinks for us for free if we got them the parts in time, so we ended up also replacing our bath/kitchen facets and the kitchen sink (love our new kitchen sink!). Once all the repiping was done, the drywall guy, Vincente, came on the third day afternoon and started patching things up. He came back the next day with his son to finish the texturing of the drywalls and stayed til like 10pm to finish everything. Now everything is back to normal!

Fast forward one month, we noticed problems with our sewer line (talk about bad luck!) and called Dempster Plumbing again. Bill and his son came out and tried to help unclog our sewer line outside the house just today, but it was not a simple job as originally thought. It turned out that we have a broken pipe on the city side, so we are working to get the city to fix it. :(

Bill and his crew and the office lady Valerie have been very nice and helpful throughout all these problems we had at the house. I highly recommend Dempster Plumbing if you ever have any plumbing needs!

We recently bought a house and found that we needed to replace our sewer line and install two cleanouts.. I asked around but ended up relying on Yelp reviews. We got a couple of bids, and thought we could get the city to do it but the wait was 9 months! So we hired Dempster Plumbing. Bill Dempster and his cheerful crew showed up promptly at 9am and made short work of hand digging an enormous trench across the front yard, carefully digging around the tree roots. On the second day workers arrived again at 9 and had the line installed, tested and ready to be inspected by early afternoon. On the third day the city inspector came and signed off, saying they did a good job. They crew cleaned up after themselves, even trying to put the sod back over the sewer line and washing off our sidewalk and driveway. I'll hire them again if I need plumbing help. Thanks Dempster Plumbing!

I had a 9am appt last week for Dempster Plumbing to come by my house. No one came so I called at 9:30 am to see if they would be arriving soon. There was no answer and I waited till 10 am before leaving for work. I got a call at about 3:30pm from Dempster Plumbing that they could send someone out right away. No mention of the missed 9am appointment until I brought it up. Their excuse was just that they got busy.

This is the plumbing company/partner you want. I could write reams about why you should hire Bill and his crew, but it's all been written already below. What I can say is that the experiences you see are exactly what I had, and I did a complete rebuild of my house and Bill's team were instrumental in the overall repiping, plus the all-important, critical connections from the street-utilities to my meters and main entrances.

Don't waste time calling around -- hire them!
