Very reliable, knowledgeable and honest! Have had them replace toilets, install immediate hot water pump under kitchen sink, and water heater! They also give helpful advice and tips to maintain optimum performance.

Excellent team. Fast, efficient and friendly. First met Josh when I didn't think my water heater was getting lit. He came out, said it was, I just couldn't see it and said there was no charge. A couple of years later it quit heating. He came out diagnosed it, replaced the part at a very fair price. Impressed again. I Totally recommend him!

Quick, professional and pleasant.
I needed a new garbage disposal installed, they came within the time frame they quoted and redid the plumbing under my sink to make sure it fit in correctly. The fee was very affordable and they had it done in less than an hour.
No signs of leaking. Everything looks good.
I would definitely recommended Effective Plumbing and will be keeping them in mind for future jobs.

Not equipped for gas line installation to convert a kitchen from electric to gas. Unfortunately, I chose Effective Plumbing and Drain for my gas line installation. I wanted to go with a local company, and Josh and family seemed like a good team and had really good reviews on yelp. I should have read them more thoroughly, none of the reviews involve a gas line installation. Although they were responsive and prompt, they were not equipped/experienced to do the gas line into my parent's home. During our consultation, they explained to me that they've done gas lines many times, and I took them at their word for it. They would install it then go retrieve a permit from the city with an inspection the next day. They do this all the time they said. They arrived on time as scheduled, were clean and tidy, and installed a line. After the install, the wife went to get a permit with the city, and was denied. What they put in was too small/inadequate for safe gas needs from the stove. (Which they didn't check any specifications of the stove before they installed the line). The city essentially told them what they had to do, even calculated the requirements, and wanted drawings. However, Effective plumbing was not eqiupped to do a drawing, and decided to pull out of the job and un-install the line they had done the day before. This was agreeable to me because I wanted someone who knew what he was doing, until we tried to find another plumbing company to complete the job. All other companies said you never install without a permit first...no legitimate plumber would install something like a gas line without a permit, especially with all the PG&E fires recently. Whatever they had done with the city caused further delay and roadblocks for the second company I contracted out. The city delayed the permit for a couple of months and now my kitchen remodel is in month four and still not complete. I will be submitting a formal complaint with the city, as well as the Better Business Bureau.

My former Plumber closed his business. I located Effective Plumbing and drain cleaning through yelp. They had several reviews and high ratings. My call was promptly returned and I was given the approximate time they would show up to fix my leak. They were friendly and efficient and I would recommend them to anyone in need of a plumber.

Incredibly kind to a pair of students who don't know the first thing about plumbing. Everyone we interacted with was helpful and patient with us, even after all our repetitious questions. They are so honest and give you the best options for your needs. I really appreciate them. They have a customer for life.

Had a leak coming from under the sink, called Effective Plumbing. Joshua and Emily come out and diagnose my problem as being a leaky faucet, so they replaced it with a new one they had on hand, which was nice, no having to go and get one from the store, making this job quick and easy. So, they came and they conquered. Great job!! Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly people. Highly recommend. Thanks
