Low Cost Drain Plumbing

D H.

Had a small plumbing job associated with a bathroom renovation involving the conversion of older dual hot/cold valves to single hot/cold valve. I called around to obtain some quotes and after speaking with several companies I was shocked at quotes I received. I looked around a little more and fortunately I found Matt via Yelp. I left a msg for him and he promptly called me back, gave me a very reasonable estimate, and then even offered to stop by prior to the job and look over some of the work I was doing on my own. When he showed up for the actual job he was kind, very professional and did a super job for an excellent price. In addition to the work we discussed he also offered to check the water pressure for the water line in the house (after I described a problem we were having with the shower pressure) and he discovered a problem with the pressure reducer. We'll be inviting Matt back again soon to take care of that work as well. In addition to all the great work he did on site, he also offered some great advice for the portion of the plumbing work I decided to do myself. He's an extremely caring and knowledgeable plumber and I won't hesitate to call him again and tell all my friends. Thanks Matt!!!!!

Oh, gads! There's water dripping under the kitchen sink. I think it's coming from the U-shaped doo hickey coming from the disposal whacthamajiggy. What to do, what to do? I called Matt at Low Cost Drain. He was speedy and friendly. Made an appointment and we was early. (Be still my heart.) The doo hickey was fixed in a matter of minutes (for just under $90) and in the process I found a new go-to person for future plumbing issues.

I found ""YELP"" after 2 plumbers never returned calls. When I called Matt he told me he could come out after he finished the job he was on. When Matt showed up very nice and professional. He fixed my problem in no time at all. He has my business from now on. Highly recommended.

So i called Matt because of the awesome reviews everyone had posted about him and they were RIGHT! I called on a friday evening and luckily he had time to squeeze me into his schedule! Well, I had a backed up shower drain which I thought my other half had caused, so he started to do his thing. He kept flushing the drain and finally it started goin down but very slowly. So he takes a snake and starts trying to clear the blockage. Well after a few tries he got hooked onto something! He kept telling me it could possibly take hours and that it might not even solve the problem! Well, as hes tellin me this, he pulls out of the draib, a NAIL CLIPPER!!! This guy is awesome and I would definately call and RECOMMEND him! You might think its a little steep for him to come by and work on the tub for about 130 but hey, he came by on a friday evening and within 20mins of my call! Cant beat that! Thanks Matt!

Matt you saved my life!! It was a Sunday morning and I was in trouble. The toilets and the showers were stopped up. I called three plumbers and Matt was the only who called me back. He was very pleasant on the phone and diagnosed my problem pretty quickly. He quoted me a price and it was by the job, not by the hour. I liked this because there was no potential for hidden fees. He told me he could be out in about an hour, sure enough he was there in an hour. He showed and took off his shoes and got to work.

It was a call at about 8:30pm on a weekday evening and not even the well known plumbing places had someone that could come at the time. Matt was the only guy that picked up and able to come out of all the numbers I've called. It was only to replace a broken, leaking garbage disposal, so not really much of an emergency that couldn't wait until the next day. But if it was an emergency, I was surprised how long it took for me to find someone that could work, even though I live in the middle of Honolulu. So Matt comes to the rescue. He did a pretty great job, quick, and is really friendly, easy to talk to. He works around the clock. I don't want to bug him during his sleep, but it's nice to know that there is someone to rely on in case such a plumbing emergency would occur. He'll be my first guy to call if that happens!

I don't recommend Matt I called him at 8:00 in the morning and asked him when he was available. He told me he would come around 2PM. Then, I wait for an hour and call him at 3. He told me he would come around 4PM so I wait for him. Doesn't come at 4, and this little game of his goes on till around 7:30PM. He comes in and finishes in 20mins and bill comes out to $170.

Matt with Low Cost Drain Plumbing has got to be the best plumber on the island. He has saved us several times during an almost 2-month long plumbing saga. When we first moved into our house, the sewage backed up into a couple of showers, a disgusting problem especially being pregnant with two young kids. Matt was the first to answer back the frantic messages I left with several plumbers, and he was definitely an answer to prayer! He not only cleared up the problem, but thoroughly explained the plumbing system in our house (which was not constructed ideally, thus, the mess), what he was doing, and what the next step would be, if the problem were to recur. He explained things to me so that I could understand our own plumbing and trouble-shoot problems for myself, never dumbing things down because I was a woman. Well, the sewage backup problem recurred within a week before I had time for him to come back to do a preventative cean out of our pipes. I called Matt on a weekend, and he did everything to help us out ASAP. He fixed the problem definitively and told us how to prevent it in the future. He also did detective work to try to find the source of a mysterious leak coming from a bathtub that was going to the outside of the house. His smart, logical way of going about things pinpointed the problem, which ended up being fairly simple, and saved a ton of money. We had absolutely no further problems with our plumbing, thanks to Matt, who charged us very reasonably each time, until . . . A handyman who had done work on our house's pipes in the past suggested that we might have a pipe breakage and insisted on his plumber friend to come and do a diagnostic look with his camera, which he said very few plumbers have. This plumber, who did not look like what he was doing and explained very little to me, then announced we had a pipe breakage, requiring a major, extremely expensive repair. Needless to say, I didn't trust him, so I called Matt, who was also doubtful, as he had tested the integrity of our pipes. He came, looked with his camera in a very thorough and systematic fashion, and found no pipe breakage, much to our relief! He did recommend a preventative treatment for our house in the future, which was reasonable, considering how old the house was and illl-maintained the pipes were. He has also done many little jobs for us, including fixing a botched bathtub drain repair and fixing leaky faucets. He always is pretty prompt and follows up to see if things are still functioning well, especially on his major repairs. In summary, Matt is a smart, professional, and honest plumber with a conscience, whom I would highly recommend without hesitation to anyone needing a skilled, trustworthy, and dependable plumber. He will be the only one we will ever call upon in the future for any plumbing needs.

Matt came to my apartment and replaced my kitchen faucet, he did a great job and was swift. The bill was kind high I mean I know plumbers can make upwards of $100 an hour but he was only in my kitchen for 20 minutes and he billed me $280 even though I supplied the parts.. About a month goes by and I get water leaking under my kitchen sink. I called Matt and leave a voice mail. Im kind of screwed because I cant use my sink while it leaks. I call later that evening and still get voice mail. I call the next morning and instead of ringing a few times it goes directly to voice mail. I start to get worried that he is avoiding me so I try calling from my work phone and he picks up. I explain to him very kindly that my faucet is still leaking and he needs to look at it. He gets very defensive and says it was working when he installed it so now if its leaking again then It was my fault and I must have done something to break it. We argue for a few seconds and I am pissed at this point because of the tone he is speaking at me. I decide to save my breath and call another plumber. The new plumber comes out and puts an o-ring into the handle and says that there was not a ring in there and thats why it was leaking. He charged me $45 for the simple fix and said their company would have installed the sink for $125 flat rate. I used Matt based on yelp reviews but I had a terrible experience with him. DO NOT USE THIS PLUMBER

I called Matt because a plumber that I had used previously (that I found on Yelp) would not pick up my calls. The work that the previous plumber had done a few months ago was beginning to leak again! Since he wouldn't call me back, I had no choice but to find another plumber. This is where I came across Matt on Yelp. I told him about my bathroom shower faucet and how it had begun to leak again. He did a very accurate assessment over the phone, let me know what my problem was likely to be, and gave me his course of action. He came to my house the next day (because his parts place was closed on Sunday), did the work VERY fast. He found out that the other plumber did a bang up job on my faucets, even didn't put all the parts in (which is why it started to leak again!) Matt is VERY personable, jokes around, and is VERY nice. He explains everything he has to do or is doing while he's doing it, so you know exactly what he's doing and why the things are not working. He's available 24 hours a day, and picks up his phone every time I call him. And is willing to go all over to fix people's plumbing problems. Also, he was VERY reasonably priced too!! To take apart my shower faucets, get my parts, and work on my shower for 2 hours, he charged me 90 bucks!! We tipped him well. He deserved it. Update: Matt came to my house today (Saturday, 10-8-11) after working on my boyfriend's place first, and he put in a shut off valve to our main water pipe. It looks good, no leaks, he was fast, and as always very personable, friendly, and in a good mood. He said to watch the fixture for the next week, and if anything to give him a call. Also, the bathtub faucet that he fixed last week is still working PERFECTLY. No leaks! Thank GOODNESS! Thanks Matt! Give this guy business. He's VERY GOOD!
