Obsta Plumbing

Needed a quote for a plumbing service. They would not provide a free quote over the phone. Instead, they wanted to come out to the house and see the work to give a $115 estimate. The estimate fee is waived only if I decide to use their service. What a way to entrap and lock customers from paying the $115. Avoid at all cost. Bad business model.

We had an extremely weird plumbing problem. Paul from Obsta Plumbing came out and had it resolved in three hours. Excellent work, fair price. I couldn't have asked for more. I will definitely use Obsta again when the need arises!!

We had a back up in our plumbing line that started late at night. We contacted Obsta and they were able to help us get out of the EMERGENCY so we could get through the night and then they were here 1st thing in the morning! Fast, Friendly and Efficient Service!!!!
I would give them 100 's if I could!

What a great locally owned and operated company. Making an appointment was so easy. The plumbers they sent out were very knowledgeable and were able to explain exactly what was wrong and what the repair needed to be. I'm so happy with Obsta Plumbing. I will only use them from now on!

So I'll be up front and say I'm not the smartest homeowner. One of the bathrooms had a clogged sink and my wife asked next door neighbors if they had a recommendation. After reading a few glowing recommendations, we called Obsta. They were prompt in their response and I believe sent someone over the next day. Without spending more than 2 mins on the diagnosis, the plumber said it's the A/C draining into the same pipe as the bathroom. We knew about the algae build up since this happened a couple of years ago and thought this is normal. The plumber said he was going to pour down some industrial strength sulfuric acid that only he can get. Sure enough it cleared the clog. Total charge for this effort: $175.

Turns out algae build up is common and you are supposed to pour Clorox down the t-pipe connector (if you have one) that drains the A/C.

Here's why I think they deserve only 2 stars. They were prompt and they fixed the problem.

A better solution would have been to spend a few mins in the attic and recommend installing a t-pipe connector on the drain line from the A/C so we can do a better job at maintenance. Or maybe both A/C's shouldnt drain into the same pipe and lets reroute unit A somewhere else. Or anything, but let's pour good old industrial strength sulfuric acid down the pipes.

Had a great experience with this company. The owner came out himself and was very knowledgeable on what issues there could be with buying our new home. I believe it was a fair cost for identifying potential issues with plumbing under the house. I recommend using this company as they are small and really care about your issues.

I've used Obsta Plumbing for over 4 years. They've done plumbing work at commercial properties I manage and they have done plumbing work at my home, including re-piping my entire house. They show up on time, the work area is immaculate when they leave and their prices are competitive. All of their employees, including the answering service/ receptionist is very polite, respectful and helpful. Paul, the owner, supervises every job and if there is a change in the work due to an unforeseen issue, he notifies me and explains everything before proceeding. I have referred this company to other property managers and they won't use anyone else. They're the best plumbing company I have ever worked with and I won't use anyone else.

I had the hose to a kitchen sink replaced by Obsta plumbing in July of this year. The day after Thanksgiving the junction between the hose and the faucet came loose and flooded the entire underside of the sink and the kitchen floor. I called Obsta and was told it would $660 just for a service call. I questioned if this was possibly a mistake and was put on hold for over 10 minutes. I was then told that indeed a service call would be $660. I asked to speak with someone else to confirm this (especially since it was a problem related to previous work by Obsta). I was told someone would call me back. No one ever returned the call.
