MTZ Plumbing

I only have good things to say about MTZ Plumbing, they're true professional. Hector provided us with a detailed estimate, which had a reasonable cost, compared to other quotes we got. Alex and Anthony, who did the actual work were great: they were knowledgeable, friendly and polite, they communicated their time of arrival in advance, their estimated time of completion for the job turned out to be exact, they explained the repair process and documented the repair with pictures. 5 stars without hesitation!

Finding a good plumber based solely on Yelp ratings is extraordinarily difficult. They all have very high average ratings, though many are unreliable and incompetent. Several 5 star companies I contacted arrived many hours later than the agreed-upon time, and sometimes not at all. Other services show up punctually and are even friendly, but don't know how to do the simplest job, or do it poorly.

MTZ Plumbing and its owner Hector are a very welcome exception in both regards.

To begin with, they're highly professional. They have been doing plumbing work at my house for two years, and they always come exactly within the 2-hour interval we agreed to, with text reminders and phone calls if they are closer to the end of the window.

Hector is also a highly skilled, knowledgeable plumber. For instance, he successfully installed Hansgrohe faucets with replacement cartridges and handles when other plumbers claimed that they couldn't do so, and more parts were necessary.

Lastly, he is fair and reasonable with his pricing, as well as any further issues that crop up with larger jobs.

Again, all Yelp plumbing companies have high average ratings, but MTZ Plumbing is the best I've come across in the Bay Area.

A pressure assist vessel required replacement. Although I'd received the parts from the manufacturer I was not able to instill it do to an injury.
Hector gave me a good price and estimated it would take about an hour. Almost one hour to the minute, now the toilet flushes perfectly without leaking water. Excellent job. I would definately recommend MTZ Plumbing.

Helpful! I called MTZ and explained my plumbing issue. Unfortunately for me, they were booked with other service requests for a couple of days. MTZ was kind enough to refer me to another licensed professional to respond that same morning. Therefore, A+ for professionalism.

This is about my plumbing issue, all my drains were backing up at that time.
It was around 7pm and wanted to fix it ASAP and picked MTZ through Google search.
MTZ side came earlier than expected and job was done quick.
Here are some information for other customers though.

I had to hear too much warning ""you still have to pay even if it is not successful"" and made me decide to go or stop, payment for visiting is still pending. I asked him to snake the pipe and resolved right away. He named the price and I paid the same price of my TV, maybe it is regular for night time. Can't complain as I agree that ""the real price will be decided on site depending on situation"". He also kept recommending that digging the ground will be the best option for any of coming issue but w/ price of 10x I've just paid. Well again, he maybe right I maybe wrong, just sharing my experience.

My grandma (who is 93 and lives solo) needed a drain pipe replaced. From the initial call to the service, 5 stars all the way. My grandma was very happy with every aspect of the service and felt like they were honest. They showed her the before and after photos. She is very pleased. Thank you MTZ for being so good to my grandma.

On a Thursday, our showers/sinks only gave us cold water, so we knew it was the water heater since the pilot wasn't igniting. I did research to find a well-rated plumber and found MTZ. Called the number on Friday, spoke to Alex who was super informative and friendly and gave us ideas on what the issue could possibly be. We scheduled an appt for Monday (Alex mentioned weekdays could affect pricing) and within 30 minutes of giving us a call the day of, he showed up without struggle to find our home. He found the issue and unfortunately we had to replace the entire water heater, but Alex made the process super smooth and easy. Him and Hector were there for less than a few hours and holy moly, we were impressed! Alex explained how to maintain the unit to hopefully make it last up to 20 years! He gave us some super useful tips and we're so thankful he helped us save money.
I'm so glad we don't have to shower with ice cold/boiled water anymore

I requested for a quote and Hector responded immediately, he came out the same day to see the leak. Hector was polite, responsive. However, the quote I received was 5 times more expensive than any other 4 quotes I received. I just cannot recommend this plumber no matter how competent. Please do your work, check around, get a few quotes to compare before you jump in to make a decision.

MTZ Plumbing completed a 100 foot new exterior drain line along the side of my home. Replacing old 2"" lightweight PVC line with new 4"" & 6"" heavy duty PVC. This required cutting through about 30 ft of cement, digging around roots, and running the new line safely around my PGE & Water inputs within the yard. Bottom line: The team was excellent. They arrived every day ready, and carefully navigated the dig. When it came to laying the new line and drain basins, they included me in the decisions and carefully detailed what they had in mind to compare it to what I have envisioned for the placement of wells, etc. Great listeners and great team to see each day during the job. 2 months later, the line works perfectly after the first storm of the season. Regarding pricing, they were true to the original quote, and were much less than other larger companies.

Our water heater was leaking and it was a weekend! We were afraid to leave it until the following weekday and when we called MTZ a plumbing specialist was at our house within a couple of hours. Tim was polite, professional and friendly. The old water heater was removed and a new one installed in record time. Thank you MTZ and Tim in particular!
