Effective Plumbing and Drain Cleaning

Billy J.

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

Very efficient and responsive! Had 3 toilet wax seals replaced and re-plumbing work done for 2nd floor shower drain. Prices are competitive.

They were amazing. Called them after another company came and failed to see or fix my problem with my water heater. They were very helpful and professional. They came the next day and fixed my problem and had my water heater up and running in no time. (And it was more than just relighting the pilot light). I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing any plumbing or electrical issues fixed. Thanks again guys!

Hands down the most effective (haha) plumber I have ever hired. Josh explained each step of what he was doing and why. They snaked the line once, filled the sink, and then watched it drain to see if it was draining properly. He determined that there was still build-up at the end of the line and so decided to snake again. He assessed the main line out to the street. He capped a line no longer in use under a bar sink (for an extra cost). He also gave a 30 day guarantee on the work performed. I have used Johnson's Plumbing several times and I have never had this kind of friendly, considerate service. He also gave me a heads up about Bio-clean. I looked it up on Amazon and the product had high reviews. Best part is, Josh was selling it for $10 less than available on Amazon.

Effective Plumbing and Drain Cleaning has completed three separate jobs at my home and have been punctual, tidy and yes, effective every time. They've cleared a sink clog, installed a toilet and most recently installed a garbage disposal. Communication is wonderful, I received a confirmation call the night before my appointment, then another call when Josh and Emma were 15 minutes away.

Their prices are great and they do excellent work.

Josh and Allison at effective plumbing have integrity and I would recommend them for your plumbing needs. We had an issue that Allison helped us figure out over the phone. Thank you so much! We need more problem-solvers like you. Keep up the good work.

SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESSES! My husband and I recently bought a house and apparently the during the inspection process they didn't catch that the water heater was not working. Our Warranty wouldn't cover costs. Our realtor had Effective Plumbing come out and take a look and Josh said it needed to be replaced. We did shop around for pricing, and most places were within the same range as Josh's quote. So we went with him because we would rather give our money to a local business owner. When he came in to replace the water heater I asked if he could also look at the water line to our fridge which was also not working. He agreed without hesitation and even replaced the valve after he finished replacing our water heater. I could not be happier with his professionalism & customer service. These are good people. Give them your business.

Over a year since calling with a plumbing problem. Next day appointment scheduled. Arrived exactly on time. AGAIN!! Fixed the problem with my toilet and sink drain quickly and efficiently. Amazing young man running his own family business. Anyone in the Merced/ Atwater area, if you need a GREAT plumber, call Joshua. Five stars in not enough . :)

Fantastic service right from the start. Polite, professional, and even helped me with an impromptu ""how do I drain my water heater"" question. Josh and his daughter, Emily, explained the work they were doing and both were fast and efficient. I WILL call Effective Plumbing anytime I have a plumbing issue.

Helped us with a major plumbing issue right after we bought our house October 2014. So polite, friendly and knew exactly what they were doing. Didn't charge a ridiculous amount like a lot of the other plumbers we looked at. Haven't had a problem with our plumbing since he came out. (Plus he pretty much guaranteed the new pipe he installed for us for life!)
They are so awesome! I wouldn't think twice about hiring them again in the future.
