Excellent experience with this company from beginning to the end. I appreciate a real person answers the phone and takes care of business. Terry the plumber was early and did his thing! It was a pleasure to work with someone who is professional and friendly and got the job done in a timely manner. Best part was the the cost which was more than competitive for ""snaking the pipes."" Highly recommend this company for all your plumbing needs.

At least once or twice a year, our house needs some plumbing help -- I guess given its age (built in '58), it should be expected. I used to panic each time, but now I just call Greer.

Our disposal sprang a leak, and when we went to check it out, the entire P-trap disintegrated!

Once again, Greer Family Plumbing saved the day. (Time for an update: I am delighted to report that they still deserve the FIVE BIG STARS!)

Like a flash, Terry from Greer was here, and quickly replaced the works. And, while we awaited the arrival of the new disposal, he also very kindly replaced a toilet seat.

Such friendly, accommodating service. Always fair pricing. Always right on time. And always so tidy, never leaving a mess behind. I really appreciate that.

It is such a pleasure to have a service provider I can rely on, and recommend without reservations. I have told so many friends about the Greer team, and so far, all have been so pleased with the services they received.

(Note that these are the same guys who also operate out of Manteca. They cover a lot of territory, so if you're not sure if you're in their service area, just give them a call.)

And, I just realized that this rave review sounds suspiciously like I am one of their cousins or something... Don't worry. I'm bona fide! :-)

I read the reviews on Greer and had also gotten a reco from my neighbor, and they did not disappoint! I have an old home and the shower was having problems...half the water would drain down the faucet instead of coming through the showerhead. I feared the worst (visions of my shower tile being ripped off, having to fully replace all my old galvanized pipes). I called in the morning and they came out later that afternoon. Discovered that it was just a part that needed replacing, which they found the next day. $250 later I have a great shower once again....cheaper than I expected, given my old pipes. Herb (who came Day 1) and Terry (who came Day 2) were very nice and quick workers. Very dog-friendly, too. Great company.

First I am giving two stars because MAYBE it was an honest oversight.

I had Greer out over a year ago because there was water leaking up on the side of my house. Greer came and dug a whole in the congrete and fix a cracked metal pipe (?). for $1209.25. The water never went away so I called them back, they came back and looked at it and said it was ground water. Summer/Dry season came and went and it never dried out. I called an spoke to Ben on the phone only this time and was assured it was groundwater. Well a year later and still water is in the whole that that dug. So I called American Leak Detector and they found a leak just below pipe that Greer aledgedly fixed. So all this time we have had water leaking and was wasting money where Greer assurred me was ground water.

I am not sure why when they came back they didn't check to make sure they got the correct leak or double check to make sure there wasn't another one since there was still obviously a lot of water coming from somewhere.

So as I started maybe and honest mistake but I want a company that is more thorough and wants to be sure the problem is completely resolved.

What a great business.

I have an older home, and recently we noticed a leak coming from underneath the toilet, so I consulted Yelp and called A1 Greer Family Plumbing.

Michelle, the owner, was wonderful. When I explained what was happening, she moved mountains to make sure we had someone at our place in, not a few hours...but within 20 minutes! The two men who arrived to fix the problem were fantastic. They worked for hours on a tree root issue, and completely cleaned up my bathroom when they were done.

This is truly a family business- and we need more like them out there.

Greer Family Plumbing truly lives up to the ""as good as it gets!"". If you mention Yelp, you can get $10 off your transaction. I found this place on Yelp and recommend it for anyone who has plumbing problems.

Here's to 5 Yelping Stars:

1. On Time & Efficient- Appointments can be made between 7am to about 5pm at night on weekdays. They use to do weekends, but currently only service during the weekday. Plumber Jeff and his entourage (+1 helper) got here 9 minutes after the scheduled time (7:09am) , but finished half an hour earlier than expected. I was amazed at the speed, efficiency, and timeliness of everything.

2. Affordable & Reasonable: Affordable and reasonably priced at $140/hour. Most simple plumbling jobs would probably run about 1-1.5 hours unless you are getting some piping installed.

3. Responds Quickly to Inquiry: When you are having a plumbing issue, you are probably already stressed and panicking. Greer Family Plumbing (Michelle aka Jeff the Plumber's wife) returns voicemails rather quickly. I left one on an evening and got a reply within a hour. She also picks up the phone into the evening/night hours and weekends. Meanwhile, two other places that I called didn't bother returning my call until 3 days later and by then I already resolved my problem (shame!!).

4. Friendly & Family Oriented: I miss the days when I can pick up the phone and talk to someone real. Not only are they rather real, but their customer service is friendly, courteous, and helpful. They do not oversell you on anything you do not need. I felt like I was in good hands. They were honest and quick in providing me an estimate.

I had a positive experience with this company and highly recommend them.

Prompt, courteous, efficient, reasonably priced--what more can I say? These guys are the best! I've used them twice and both times they got the work done quickly and did a great job. I'm very grateful I found them by reading other reviews on this site.

Very pleased with the service. Ben came right on time, actually, about 5 minutes early, which was good for me...listened patiently as this senior citizen described the problem... that involved my washing maching backing up when it drained...
Ben got right to the problem and corrected it...put my appliances back in place...
I felt very comfortable...machine working beautifully...will use their services again. Michelle , who answered the phone was also very patient and listened to my concerns.

Being patient and courteous is important when dealing with all customers and especially senior citizens.

I had two jobs done by this company.The first was intallation of a clean out for a sewer lateral.Idug the hole, Ben did the work then I filled the hole.I liked that we worked together to find a cheaper solution. About a year later,I had a water heater installed. Again they worked with me to get it done as cheap as possible with AMERICAN PARTS. I will use them again.

Thank you- Thank you!!!

First I would like to say thank you to Jeff for being so calm on the phone when I was not.

When I came home from work after a long 10 hours I stepped in water on my front porch- weird- not really weird when I stepped inside to see water flowing like a river down my hallway!! I followed the ""little Mississippi"" to my kitchen sink and when I opened the cabinet door water just started spraying me in the face. I shut the door and looked in the phone book for a plumber- After 3 calls and 3 answering machines for other guys, I heard a friendly voice on the other end, Jeff Greer. I filled him in on the ""issue"" and he described over the phone how to quickly shut off the water to the house. Done.
Then he walked me through the labyrinth of lines under my sink- AKA: R/O water filter, icemaker, insta hot, sink. He described everything in detail as if he was standing beside me, thats what I would expect from a pro! He described how to isolate the line that was broke and leaking so I could turn the water back on to the house and get a shower. He then said he would stop by to see what it would take to fix it. An hour later Jeff was at my sink installing a new shut off coming out from the wall. Problem Solved! He even had the part on the truck and the item was replaced in about 30 minutes from start to finish.

Greer Family Plumbing rates are reasonable, Jeff is a pleasure to work with, and I would recommend them to anyone I know. I was very surprised with the single 1 star rating on Yelp and the corresponding 15 people that found that review useful. I would take 8 to 1 odds any day and would just write off the single star rating.

Thank you Greer for making me part of the ""family""
