Company Overview

Residential plumbing solutions for clients and property owners. Our services include water supply systems, pressure reduction, water recirculation, tankless and conventional water heaters, gas line installations, toilet repairs, faucet replacements, garbage disposal services, and remodeling.

Prior to founding Element Plumbing, I gained ten years of experience apprenticing at two esteemed plumbing companies in Marin County. I was guided by two exceptional instructors, each owning successful plumbing shops in the area. With the support of my first shop, I was able to join a state-sanctioned four-year plumbing apprenticeship program. I focused on developing a robust foundation to eventually start my own company, but only after my skills became second nature and I showed that I could be a valuable asset to my clients, our county, and my fellow tradespeople. And now, here we are!

OMG I can't believe you moved!!!! SO SAD. I was literally going to call you tomorrow, so I looked up your phone # on yelp and saw this. BOO!

Texas, you better treat John right. California doesn't want him to leave.

We found John to be a moving target. We had much to coordinate for taking out old tub/tile and redo as shower (plumbing, tile, glass, inspections). Being our only bathroom, timing, communication & teamwork were essential.

John was a real Diva! Hard to reach, suddenly busy with other jobs - cost us an extra week. He was rude, angry most of the time, did not show at stated times & didn't call. Complained constantly about how hard the work was & charged us more than quoted, and did not do everything he said he would. We did not need the ADDED stress.

I called yesterday to get a drain unstopped. The guy seemed together and tried to accommodate my need for speed.

However, he didn't show for the scheduled work this morning, didn't answer when I called, nor has called back.

As a tile contractor ( London Tile ) I frequently need to refer a plumber to my clients for their remodel and repair projects. John is at the top of my plumber list because of his prompt response, reliability and excellent work.
He has worked on my own house and our rental property many times, always with satisfactory results.

I run a Handyman service and have used John's services on a couple remodel jobs. He is great to work with and flexible to meet my schedule. He is a pleasure to work with and gets the job done perfect the first time. He gives advice for me to fix an issue saving a service call. I appreciate the working relationship we have built. I can't recommend Element Plumbing enough.

If you're looking for an honest and trustworthy plumber who knows what they are doing, call John with Element. Plumbing problems can be extremely difficult to detect, and twice John has come through for us to find hard-to-detect type problems. When, I had recently received an incorrect evaluation from another plumber, he saved us thousands of $$ by finding out where the real issue was. He knows how to explain the issues clearly so you can understand it, and then he provides a solution to solve it. He doesn't just make assumptions, instead he really uses his knowledge and skills to make a correct evaluation. He knows what he's doing, and I am really impressed. Seriously, just stop reading these reviews and just go call John to fix your plumbing issues. You will not be disappointed.

John did a complete re pipe on my old house , His work was excellent and his price was very good . I got estimates from another plumber that was a ""friend"" and it would have been 30% higher than what John charged me for the same job .

Once again we used Element plumbing and were extremely satisfied. Our hot water heater was leaking from the top, we called late in the afternoon and John was there on the dot at the appointed time the following day. A dishonest plumber could have charged who knows what, as we had no idea what was wrong. John changed two leaking water lines (had all the parts) in no time at all, and only charged us $150. We will never use another plumber, and we highly recommend them!

I called this plumber because he got such good reviews. My rental unit had a small leak -- the tenant thought it was coming from the supply hose that connects to the toilet. I called John and he sent out one of his guys -- he charged $140 to fix it. (He was supposed to deduct $25 for Yelp, but neglected to do so.) The next day, the toilet started leaking in the exact same spot. So my tenant called John back and he told him there would be no charge for the service call, unless we needed additional parts (which seemed fair). But then, when his plumber came back out, he charged an additional $166 (including the Yelp discount this time) to put in a new fill valve and flapper. I called to complain, but John wasn't willing to refund any money. So basically, I paid more than $300 for two service calls that maybe took 30 minutes combined. I could have had a brand new toilet installed for less than that!
