Marco Polo Plumbing

I'm very impressed with this company! Marco and Mario came here yesterday, a Sunday, when I had a clogged drain pipe. It turned out to be something highly unusual, something Marco said he hadn't seen in his 20 years in business. They skillfully and methodically figured out exactly what the problem was among quite a few possibilities. And they kept at it for more than 2 hours until they fixed the situation. I really appreciate their skills and perseverance. I definitely will use this company all the time now, and I'm happy to recommend them.

Reliable, responsive, and very professional. Installed a gas line from my meter to my fireplace through the attic. And didn't charge an exorbitant amount to do it like some companies out there wanted to.

Marko has worked on my condo multiple times - projects both big and small. He is the ultimate professional. His work is impeccable, he solves the most complex problems and he always leaves the space as clean. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. Best plumber in SF!

Starting some time last week my main water shutoff valve to my toilet started failing. Even though we're shelter in place for COVID right now, a toilet is rather a P0 emergency issue.

Marco came by, replaced the water shutoff, the fill valve, and the flapper, all for the quoted price, no hidden gimmicks or costs.

As I was writing the check I asked ""oh since while you're here, can you give me any pointers on my kitchen sink's drain?""

You see, for 5-7 years or so, the drain has been backed up. I gave up after hiring 3 prior roto-rooter services which were unable to resolve the issue. The last one told me the pipe was corroded shut and they'd charge $12k to fix it. Seeing how I don't own the house, I declined. I then forwarded this to my landlord who basically said tough luck, not going to help you, you still have a bathroom sink.

So just about 7 years now without a kitchen sink, but since I'm in SF I can't move due to my grandfathered rent, so I just deal.

Then along comes Marco. The first professional to ask, can I take a look outside? All 3 prior services only tried snaking directly from the sink drain pipe. Marco's curiosity needed to know why it wouldn't drain, and that corrosion was unlikely. I brought him to the back where he located my drain pipes. This whole time I was told they were within the walls! Nope, they were right there, with an access point to get closer down the line. Marco was quick to point out the design inefficiencies, the 90 degree angle which makes snaking next to impossible.

Within 90 minutes of his arrival, my toilet was once again fully functioning, better than ever (sounds like a freakin V8 of toilets), and resolved a 7yr clogged drain issue. He went above and beyond anyone else. 4th times a charm? Needless to say I've been doing dishes all night!

Thank you Marco!! You rock man! Hope to see you when this coronavirus stuff is all over.

Marco Polo Plumbing is awesome.

They are not only great at handling mundane matters (plugged sinks, leaky valves, et cetera), but also at handling more complex matters (mysterious leaks and clogs). They clean-up well and even re-tile shower walls, kitchen counter-tops (e.g. when replacing sinks), et cetera.

They are our go-to Plumber!

The entire experience with Marco Polo Plumbing was quick, trustworthy, and thorough! We will definitely use them again if we are ever have another plumbing disaster.

Marco has not only performed routine plumbing tasks, he has installed whole new systems in our one hundred twenty five years young two family Victorian residence in the center of San Francisco. The new plumbing lines for the natural gas feed for gas inserts in the fireplaces and all of the new copper plumbing for the conversion from hot water heater tanks in the basement to tankless heaters mounted on exterior walls. The only major conversion he hasn't done for us is radiant floor heating, which I believe he does also. Based on performance in our households, I highly recommend Marco Polo for your plumbing needs.

Marco was Amazing! I called him at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night because my cleanout had over flowed everywhere due to the last plumber not securely replacing the cap.

Marco worked fast and efficiently to correct the issue and his pricing was very affordable. I will definitely be keeping Marco's information for future plumbing needs.

I have worked with many plumbers in my days and I have to say Marco is one of the best! He is professional, reliable, responsive and does great work from start to finish. No job is too big or small for him to tackle. I highly recommend his services to anyone looking for a great and reasonably priced plumber.
